Chapter 127 The Disappearing Heart

Meng Zhe went out to take a look, and saw Song Jiang holding onto the tree and retching non-stop, so he quickly stepped forward and asked, "Are you okay?!"

After Song Jiang retched a few times, he waved his hand at him to indicate that he was fine, but the overwhelming feeling in his stomach could not subside for a long time. The ice corpse should not be Xia Tao, because the style of the mountaineering suit on his body does not match... Thinking of this, Song Jiang resisted the urge to vomit and walked back, wanting to take another look at another corpse.

Seeing this, Meng Zhe stopped him and said, "I'll take a look for you first, if it's too disgusting... you might as well forget it."

Song Jiang nodded after thinking for a while and said, "Okay, if you really can't tell what he looks like...let me take a look at his clothes, I just want to make sure that this person is that Xia Tao."

Then Meng Zhe lifted a corner of the white cloth to look at it, and then said with a slightly hesitant expression, "This person...you probably won't recognize who he is either."

Just when Song Jiang was puzzled, Meng Zhe lifted the white cloth directly, and a skinny corpse suddenly appeared in front of Song Jiang... Although this corpse looked very complete on the surface, it must have been very thin before he died. There are almost no muscles under the skin, just a skeleton supporting a piece of human skin.

"Is it him?" Meng Zhe asked out loud.

Song Jiang said with some uncertainty, "It looks very similar in the clothes...but I didn't look so thin when I saw him?!"

Wu Hui on the side was confused, "Xiao Song, do you know this victim?!"

As soon as Song Jiang heard it, he quickly explained, "I don't know... I just read a news about a missing mountaineering enthusiast on the Internet. There were photos of the missing person on it, so I wanted to see if it was the two dead. But this The corpse is so emaciated that I can't be sure."

After hearing this, Wu Hui said with a mysterious face, "I heard from the forensic doctor that this humanoid deceased died of starvation, and a large amount of undigested human tissue was found in his stomach... it should be the one next to him." dude's."

Song Jiang felt a chill in his heart when he heard it. It seemed that Xia Tao really ate his companion, so he asked again, "What is the cause of death of the one next to him?!"

"The current situation is unknown, and further autopsy is needed... But one thing is certain, this corpse should have died before it was eaten." Wu Hui said in a deep voice.

After Bai Ze looked at all the corpses, Tang Zheng immediately handed over a disinfectant tissue and said, "Teacher, do you think these people didn't die in an avalanche at all, but were murdered?!"

Wu Hui shook his head and said, "15 people were collectively poached?! Is this possible?"

At this time, I heard Zhao Jia, who had no sense of presence, whispered. "Could it be related to some kind of sacrifice? I heard that some indigenous people used to sacrifice living people to show their respect for the gods."

Bai Ze thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "It's been more than ten years since these people disappeared. As far as I know, Katang has been very peaceful in recent decades, and I have never heard of aliens using living people to sacrifice. (jiao) (tu) appears."

Wu Hui nodded and said, "I can also prove this point. Most of the current residents of Gatang are herdsmen who make a living by grazing animals. They don’t live in nomads, so most of the people here have simple folk customs, let alone sacrifices with living people, even live cattle and sheep have never been done... But this method of heart-digging is indeed very similar to sacrifice activities, so I I took the liberty to keep Professor Bai, I hope you can help find out the truth."

At this time, Bai Ze looked at Meng Zhe and said, "Mr. Meng, I once read some records about heart-digging and sacrifice in a foreign document, and I will ask my colleague to send the information as soon as possible, or... …Let’s stay a few more days!?”

Meng Zhe didn't have any objection to this, "You are the team leader... you have the final say on the itinerary."

After that, Wu Hui sent the group back to the hotel, and repeatedly expressed his apologies, "This time I really caused trouble for everyone. In fact, it is not a bad thing for our local area to find the remains of these victims. Follow-up work Although it's cumbersome, it's not a problem. I didn't expect that something unexpected happened now, and such a thing happened. Originally, the Internet said everything to us here, so all the leaders above me said that we must make things clear. After a thorough investigation, it will be released to the public, so as not to be over-interpreted by public opinion and create unnecessary panic."

After sending Wu Hui away, only Song Jiang, Meng Zhe, and Bai Ze were left in the room. At this moment, Bai Ze looked at Meng Zhe and asked, "What does the Holy King think about this?"

Meng Zhe pondered for a moment and said, "Northern Qisu probably wouldn't kill people... because they have no reason to do so."

Bai Ze nodded and said, "I think so too. If that's the case, then there will only be a group of snow wolves left on Karabog Peak that can walk freely."

"You said that the group of Rihan people who turned into wolves did the heart-digging thing? But what reason do they have to kill people and dig their hearts?!" Song Jiang was a little puzzled.

Meng Zhe snorted coldly and said, "The human heart is the head of organs, the source of qi and blood. For some evil things, it is the secret treasure of cultivation. Not only can you improve your cultivation, but it can also prolong your life..."

As soon as Song Jiang heard it, he instinctively looked at the two of them and said, "You two have eaten people's hearts before, right?!"

Bai Ze laughed and wanted to deny it, but Meng Zhe said viciously, "What is human heart? I have eaten people before?! When I have a good appetite, I can eat ten at a time!!"

Song Jiang's face turned blue for a while, and Bai Ze smiled and shook his head when he saw it, and said, "Don't bully Xiao Song all the time, Sheng Jun, he is still young...but he will take it seriously."

Only then did Song Jiang realize that Meng Zhe was scaring himself, so he said to Meng Zhe angrily, "Is it fun to scare me?!"

Meng Zhe shrugged and said, "It's okay, don't I want to practice your courage? Don't be scared into a dog when you encounter something."

Song Jiang's face turned red when he was told, so he forcefully argued, "I... Is that a normal reaction, okay? Let's talk about the things I have encountered since I met you. Which one didn't refresh my three views repeatedly? You have to give me a process of adaptation, right?!"

Meng Zhe laughed when he heard it, "So I'm helping you get used to it, right?"

"Are you so adaptable? Let me tell you, if you don't have anything to do to scare me... sooner or later, you will scare me crazy!" Song Jiang said angrily.
