Yellow River Craftsman

Chapter 223

It wasn't until the group of people had gone far that Xiao Guoguo released the demonic mask. This kind of magic that consumes spiritual energy should be avoided for a long time.

"It's terrible! These people are simply demons!" Xiao Guoguo frowned, looking terrified.

I nodded, emphasizing my tone: "A demon who kills without batting an eye!"

Xiao Guoguo said: "The murderous aura on these people is very heavy, they should have been on the battlefield, I don't know what it is!"

I sighed silently, and said solemnly: "If I guess correctly, these people should be mercenaries!"

Mercenaries are a group of professional killers who "feed on wars". They are hired to carry out various assassinations, kidnappings, battles, and even coups.The composition of mercenaries is very complicated, and there are all kinds of people, including civilians, ex-soldiers, outlaws, etc., but they all have one characteristic in common, that is, they all like war, and war is everything in their lives. "Whoever pays will work for him", this is a basic principle that mercenaries all follow.There is no distinction between right and wrong in their minds.

However, the selection and training of mercenaries is very unbearable. On average, only one out of every ten trainees can pass the final assessment, and most of the rest can't bear the pain and quit halfway, but once they pass the test, they are all very famous. The "Rambo".

The doubts in my heart are even worse, how could a mercenary group come to the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang?Why did Xu Bo and the others get together with the mercenary group again?Also, what did they mean when they came to the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang?Could it be to find the treasure in the first emperor's underground palace?So are they a bit of a fantasy?From ancient times to the present, there have been many tomb robbers from all walks of life gathered in the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang, but up to now, no one has been able to enter the underground palace.

But isn't the method of these mercenaries too cruel? If they are only here to rob graves, do they need to kill people?Human life is like straw in their eyes, worthless.

Of course, what I want to know most is, who is the main messenger behind the mercenary group?What is his purpose?
Xiao Guoguo and I didn't dare to get too close. The appearance of the mercenary group made us more cautious.

Walking outside the terracotta warriors and horses pit, I found that two more security guards had fallen in the duty room.

Blood splattered on the wall of the duty room, and two security guards fell in a pool of blood.

A security guard had his neck cut off with a saber, and a security guard had a shocking bullet hole between his eyebrows.

Both of them were young and handsome, but they did not expect such bad luck.

Entering the exhibition hall of the sacrificial pit, the inside is dark and dense, and one can vaguely see that in the huge pit, there are neatly arranged rows of stone figurines, as well as many stone horses and chariots, lifeless and full of chills.

It was already three o'clock in the middle of the night, and it was the most cloudy time of the day.

There was no wind outside, but I don't know why there was a dark wind blowing in the exhibition hall for no reason. The dark wind shuttled back and forth in the sacrificial pit, making a hair-raising whistling sound, like countless innocent souls crying in a low voice.The entire burial pit was filled with evil spirits, and a strong ghost spirit lingered.

It seems that if you want to be a security guard in the mausoleum area, you need extraordinary courage. Otherwise, just listening to the sound of the dark wind every night, you will probably be scared to death.

In such a gloomy place, some unexplainable supernatural events often occur, and the news of many events has been blocked by the relevant departments and is not allowed to spread.But as the saying goes, there is no impenetrable wall in the world. When I was in the archaeological team, I heard people talk about the strange things about the sacrificial pit.

At that time, Qin Shihuang's Mausoleum had just been protected, and there was no such well-trained security team stationed there.In order to prevent tomb thieves from visiting, relevant departments mobilized a group of young armed police soldiers to perform the task of guarding the tomb.It is all false to say that you are not afraid, but a soldier must obey orders. This is an order from a superior, and no one can disobey it, so those young soldiers can only bite the bullet and come to the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang.

The number of this group of soldiers is about one company, nearly one hundred people, and they came to the mausoleum in a mighty way.

When there are more people, everyone will become more courageous. Coupled with the fact that they are equipped with guns and ammunition, this group of soldiers will soon become less afraid.There are even many people who are secretly happy, thinking that this is a good job, and it is more interesting than the exhausting training in the camp every day.

The [-] soldiers were reorganized into four platoons to guard the mausoleum in turn, and the two platoons took turns in the morning and evening every day, and then had a day off.

Those who guarded the mausoleum during the day didn't feel anything, and those who guarded the mausoleum at night were still a little apprehensive.

They had just been stationed for three days, and the second platoon in charge of the night watch on the third day had an accident. A soldier went to relieve himself, but disappeared for unknown reasons.When the soldier was found at dawn, the soldier went crazy and kept talking nonsense like "there is a ghost! There is a ghost".

Later, the soldier was sent away that day. The news posted above was that the soldier suffered from familial mental illness, and last night he had a sudden mental illness.

Naturally, not many people are convinced by the official statement. If you are a good person, for no reason, how can you get sick when you get sick?
Rumors of ghosts in Qin Shihuang's Mausoleum spread like wildfire, and the soldiers who were in charge of the night watch in those few days were panicked and did not dare to leave the large army.

It was safe and sound for several days, and when people gradually forgot about it, another accident happened in the mausoleum area.

Two soldiers in charge of night patrols insisted that they had seen a ghost. They said that when they were patrolling the burial pit, they clearly saw a figure standing beside the pit, but when they ran over, the figure jumped into the burial pit , just disappeared.

The two might have thought they were tomb robbers at the time, and they were daring enough to slip into the burial pit with guns on their backs to search carefully, but after tossing for a long time, they still didn't find that strange figure.Later, the more they thought about it, the more they felt that something was wrong, and they felt that they had encountered a lonely ghost, so they were so frightened that they quickly crawled out of the funeral pit.

After dawn, the platoon in charge of guarding the mausoleum during the day patrolled around the burial pit several times, but found nothing.Some people even slipped into the burial pit for careful inspection. The conclusion of the inspection was that two sets of shoe prints were found in the burial pit.After comparison, it was confirmed that these two sets of shoe prints belonged to the two soldiers who patrolled last night, Liao Jianhua and Zhang Jie.

In other words, except for Liao Jianhua and Zhang Jie, no one slipped into the bottom of the funeral pit last night.

This baffled Liao Jianhua and Zhang Jie. Both of them had very good eyesight, so there was no reason why they could see it wrong.

If it is possible for one person to be blinded, are two people blinded at the same time?

The instructor had a secret conversation with two people, asking them to keep everything that happened last night secret, and changed their words to say that they were delusional last night.

Although the two knew that they were not blind, but under the pressure of the instructor, they had no choice but to follow the words the instructor taught them and told their comrades that they were blind, and the whole thing was a big oolong, which made the comrades laugh at their nerves Xixi, I was hallucinating from nervousness.The two are dumb eating Coptis chinensis, and can't tell the truth. Only they know the truth, but they can't tell it.

However, this incident did not come to light because of the two's tight-lipped mouths. Only one day later, something happened to Zhang Jie!

This time, Zhang Jie disappeared!
Without any signs, Zhang Jie seemed to have evaporated from the world, disappearing without a trace.

At first, everyone thought that Zhang Jie was a deserter. They guessed that Zhang Jie might be very scared after experiencing the ghost encounter the day before yesterday, so he chose to escape.

But to say that Zhang Jie was a deserter is not justified. The army is heavily guarded, and the entire burial pit is closely monitored and protected. No one can leave quietly.Because only two terracotta warriors and horses pits were excavated at that time, although it is said to guard the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang in name, in fact, the key guard area is only the terracotta warriors and horses pits.Hundreds of armed police with live ammunition guarded the two large pits. Can anyone escape under their noses?

The company leader was very angry. In any era, desertion is a very shameful thing.Especially in that era, those who deserted seriously would be shot.A company deserted, which discredited the company leaders and had a big impact on their future promotion.Therefore, the company leader was furious, and led by the instructor, a special investigation team was set up to demand a thorough investigation of this matter.

The instructor was Cao Yifei, who personally selected ten fighters and set up an investigation team. One of the fighters was Liao Jianhua, who had personally experienced ghost encounters.

Without the slightest clue about the matter, Cao Yifei had no choice but to take the investigation team to the sacrificial pit, which is the place where Liao Jianhua and Zhang Jie collided with ghosts that night, hoping to find clues from the place where the incident happened.

In broad daylight, ten soldiers searched the sacrificial pit carefully with military flashlights, and almost turned the soil underneath.

Liao Jianhua was so tired that he was sweating profusely, leaning on a stone figurine to breathe.

The moment he turned his head inadvertently, he suddenly froze, staring straight at the figurine in front of him.

Seeing Liao Jianhua's distraught appearance, Cao Yifei hurriedly asked him what was wrong.

Liao Jianhua tremblingly stretched out his right hand, pointed at the figurine in front of him, his lips trembling crazily: "This figurine... seems... like Zhang Jie..."

what? !

Liao Jianhua's words made the people present shudder, and all of them stared wide-eyed, looking at the figurine in disbelief.

It's strange to say, if you don't look at it, you don't feel it, but the more you look at it, the more you feel that the face of that figurine really resembles the missing Zhang Jie!

Cao Yifei was also terrified, and quickly ordered the soldiers to drag the figurine out of the burial pit.

Later, after a secret discussion by the company leaders, they quietly sent someone to smash the figurine, and the result was astonishing: this figurine turned out to be the missing Zhang Jie!

A comparison with the data shows that the number of figurines in the sacrificial pit is the same as when it was unearthed, that is to say, the figurines of Zhang Jie were indeed extraneous.

So, why did Zhang Jie die?

Why do people become figurines in the burial pit after death?
No one can answer all this weirdness.
