The Secret Art of Refining the Dead: The Walking Corpse File

Chapter 310
This guess made my heart sink. Tan Ren cleared the snow at the door and opened the door wide. Then we took the shovel and began to carefully clean the snow inside the door. While cleaning, we shouted and tried Let those inside hear us.

In the wind and snow, our voices were blown into a strange tune, but even so, those who should hear it must be able to hear it, but there is still no movement inside.

The girl stood beside the cane, watching our movements with a blank expression.Through the current situation, she should have already guessed something, so the whole person seemed to have been sucked out of her soul, which made people feel a little unbearable.

After spending more than 20 minutes, we cleared away the snow inside and walked into the engineering station.

This place is quite big, with a total of four houses connected in a line. They are boxy, a bit like a container. Most of the things inside are easy to disassemble, while the outside is very strong.

Inside is an office with some instruments and a device that emits strong signals. In addition, there are also some engineering investigation tools piled up. There is a table on the left side with a lot of paper documents on it. In the cold, the paper becomes stiff.

No one was found here, the three of us looked at each other, then went to the next connecting room, one on the left and one on the right.I went to the right, and there was only one room on the right. Zhou Xuanye and Tan Ren went to the left, and there were two rooms connected there.On the right is a place like a kitchen, with a stove and a large pot, and the other side is packed in burlap bags, where a lot of food, such as dried vegetables, canned food, and tea leaves, are piled up.No one else.

I went out, intending to go to Tan Ren and the others to have a look, but as soon as I went out, I saw Tan Ren and Zhou Xuanye, they came out from there in a hurry, and when they saw me, they said without saying a word: " Go, go out first!"

I saw that they had found nothing, so I knew something was wrong, and said, "Is there anyone over there? Are they all killed?" If there are living people, then they should come out with them.Now only Zhou Xuanye and Tan Ren came out, and with that strange expression, it was obvious that even if there were people there, they should all be dead.

Tan Ren walked forward sullenly, but said in his mouth: "It's not just as simple as being killed, that woman has a problem."

What could be wrong with her?
I went out with the two of them to have a look, but suddenly found that the girl was gone, and there was only a cane on the snow beside it, and the camp lantern on it was swaying in the wind and snow, and the dim yellow light was flickering.Our equipment is still piled up not far away, but the girl from before has disappeared without a trace.

I wanted to call her, but realized I didn't know her name.

I was anxious and said, "What's going on?"

Tan Ren said: "We let the ghost play tricks, there is no engineering team inside, only one person."

Zhou Xuanye answered, "It's the woman who brought us here."

I wondered if I heard it wrong: "You mean, there is only the girl's body inside? But, but she has been outside and never went in... Could it be that what we met before was the ghost of this girl?"

Zhou Xuanye said: "The corpses are all frozen. What we saw before shouldn't be clean. Look, isn't that woman gone now?"

"But, have you never discovered her true identity before?"

Zhou Xuanye said: "Corpse refining is my job. Dealing with these ghosts is not my specialty. She wants to become exactly like a living person, how can I see it?"

Tan Ren said: "We were tricked and wasted our day."

Zhou Xuanye said: "Forget it, she probably wants us to collect her corpse, let's get it out first." It seems that she must have tampered with the corpse, and she didn't see him go back, she just found out the corpse bell. Standing up, following his movements, a woman slowly walked out of the room.

It was the woman from before.

She closed her eyes and walked stiffly, her cheeks were slightly puffed up, her lips were slightly parted, and there seemed to be something inside, probably a spell or something.I know that when Zhou Xuanye walks around the corpse, he will press a triangular charm under the tongue of the corpse.This is not the same as the one in the movie where a talisman is pasted on the forehead of the corpse.

I asked Zhou Xuanye the reason, and he said that there are many types of walking corpses, the one that sticks to the forehead and makes the corpse walk stiffly, even jumping and jumping, is an inferior technique.This kind of person can only drive at night when driving corpses, and can't bump into living people.Someone as clever as Zhou Xuanye, who can make a dead body as invisible as a living person, naturally won't stick a talisman on the other person's forehead, wouldn't this be blatantly telling others that I am chasing corpses?I don't know, I thought you were playing cosplay.

This female corpse is also very stiff when walking now, and with her eyes closed, she looks lifeless at first glance. It doesn't look like a living person. Firstly, it is because it is frozen, and secondly, because there are no outsiders here, and Zhou Xuanye is too lazy to bother. A simpler one was used.

He manipulated the woman, stood near the snow slope to the south, and stopped moving.I feel a little strange, why is there only her body in this engineering resident?What about the rest?If she was the only one who died, then her companions, someone would definitely dig up her body afterwards.

From the looks of it, the avalanche should have happened recently, and her companions probably didn't come back in time to dig her up, but she was in a hurry, and took advantage of the snow and snow to cover up the sun and the sky was dark, so she pretended to be a victim and lied to us. Come and collect her body.

No wonder the girl woke up when I was about to give her blood.Jin Muscle and Jade Bone are too full of vitality. In Zhou Xuanye's words, my blood is not only a good medicine for prolonging life, but also a nemesis against corpses or ghosts. Han Xu was 'alive' well at the beginning, because I fed him blood. Blood, and the corpse spots on his body all came out.

Although a little angry, it's not a big deal, Zhou Xuanye said: "Put the body here first, and we'll take it out when we get back." It was getting late now, and it was inconvenient to dig a hole for several hours After we left, we pitched a tent nearby and planned to rest.

But just as the tent was set up, when I was going to get the camp lantern next to the snow field to hang outside the tent, I suddenly found that the girl who had disappeared beside the camp lantern was standing there again!
I was startled, but I quickly calmed down, because it wasn't the first time I saw a ghost, and besides, this girl still asked us to help collect the body, so naturally she wouldn't harm us.Looking carefully at this moment, the girl was standing next to the camp lamp, and there was not even a shadow.We didn't notice such a weird situation before, and we deserved to be deceived by her.

I still have a good impression of her. After all, such a young girl is engaged in scientific research and serves the people. It is not easy to be stationed in this ice and snow place. It is really wrong to die in such a place without a sound.So I walked over and said, "Why did you suddenly disappear just now?"

She turned her back to me, didn't turn her head, but said thank you lightly.

I liked her even more, and was about to speak, when suddenly, she raised her hand and pointed to the northeast, motioning me to look there.

It's dark at the moment, even if you look over, you can't actually see anything, but I have observed the terrain over there during the day.Over there is the extension of the snow ditch, but because of the change of the mountain, the snow ditch has become very narrow, and the terrain has gone downhill. We haven't seen the specifics.

I thought I would see a piece of darkness, but when I looked along, I saw a group of green things jumping in the darkness, silently, like a ghost, and I don't know when it appeared.

My heart skipped a beat, because that thing looked like a will-o'-the-wisp that used to appear in old cemeteries.

Because the old cemetery is buried in the ground, the phosphorus produced by the bones is easy to form will-o’-the-wisps. Now the new cemeteries are cremated and placed in urns, and covered with cement, basically there will be no will-o’-the-wisps.

What the hell is that?

I have never heard of ghost fires appearing in snow mountains.

At this time, Tan Ren shouted violently in the tent: "Why hasn't the light come on yet?"

I said, "Boss, come out and have a look."

However, when Tan Ren and Zhou Xuanye came out, the girl disappeared again, but the green ball, like a will-o'-the-wisp, was still appearing and disappearing in the darkness, floating around.

I told Zhou Xuanye what happened just now, he pondered slightly, looked at the girl's body not far away, and said: "It seems that she is not just for us to collect the body."

I said, "Then what do we do now?"

Zhou Xuanye said: "The dead are the most important, let's go and have a look. You stay here."

Although I wanted to follow, I knew that there were tents, equipment, and corpses here, so it was better to leave alone.Although there are no ferocious beasts in this snow mountain, who knows if there will be any accidents?What's more, with Zhou Xuanye and Tan Ren taking action, it should be no problem, and I won't be of much help if I go there these two times.

Thinking of this, I was very depressed, and said: "Well, be careful, if something is wrong, remember to blow the whistle." I gestured to the signal whistle hanging around their necks.Zhou Xuanye nodded, and followed behind Tan Ren. The two of them carried some things in their pockets, then went into battle lightly, and headed towards the place where the green light of the will-o'-the-wisp appeared before.

There is no fire in this place. We use the smokeless stove to heat water, so we can’t use fuel indiscriminately, so it’s quite cold.In order to avoid the wind and cold, I could only get into the tent and opened the curtain of the tent. From this position, I could see the corpse standing upright not far away.

The figures of the two of Tan Ren became farther and farther away in the dark wind and snow, and the light of the flashlight became weaker and weaker, and finally completely disappeared from my sight.

As the light faded, something suddenly felt wrong to me.

The same light, why in this position, I can see the green will-o'-the-wisp thing, but I can't see Tan Ren and the two?Could it be that they have gone downhill?Or, did they go further than the green light?

Just as I was thinking about this question, the green light in the darkness, like fireworks, suddenly exploded and turned into dots of light, which quickly disappeared into the darkness.

In an instant, only the wind and snow were left around.
