Although Professor Xia was the first to discover it, his running speed was not as fast as these young people.

Xiao Du and Zhou Weiqi were the closest to the man, and they rushed forward to check on the man's condition.

At the same time, some questions appeared in several people's minds from time to time.

The underground entrance to the orphanage is so secret, how could someone break in and be trapped underground?

Did he accidentally take the wrong path, or is he a member of the institute?

And, how long has he been trapped here? The temperature underground is very low. How did he survive...

Xiao Du wanted to help him up, but as soon as he touched his skin, Xiao Du realized something was wrong.

His body was very cold, not the body temperature that a living person should have at all, and the arm Xiao Du was holding on was as soft as a stuffed toy.

Zhou Weiqi also stretched out his hand and pushed away his hair. He said tremblingly: "This person... this person is dead!"

"Impossible! I just saw his hands moving!" Professor Xia gasped.

He was an elderly man after all, and after running a few steps, he had difficulty breathing.

"But look at his face!" Zhou Weiqi raised the chin of the corpse.

The entire face was swollen two or three times, and the two eyeballs were blue and turned upward like dead fish. Black-red blood overflowed from the mouth and nose, and it had solidified at this time.

What's even more frightening is that his skin is covered with dense black lines. Those lines seem to form some kind of characters, or like tree veins under rubbings.

Zhou Weiqi has seen many corpses, and some of them died in miserable ways.

However, this was the first time that he felt panicked.

Chu Yao caught a slightly pungent smell, which seemed to be somewhat similar to the liquid in the nutrition bin.

Could it be that the cause of this man's death wasn't that simple?

Xiao Du lifted up the clothes of the corpse and said: "The corpse has no obvious trauma, which means that he did not die from a blow. Judging from the spots on the body, the time of death was at least seventy-two hours..."

"Have you ever studied forensic medicine?" Professor Xia asked in surprise.

"I just read two books." Xiao Du raised his glasses, "According to my judgment, this man should have died four days ago. The cause of death was due to choking on water. Moreover, his body was found after his death. He was suspended and soaked in water from the neck down, causing his face to swell but his body to remain dry."

Ling Feng asked: "This is not the first scene. Is it possible that someone dumped his body here?"

"Judging from the road we took when we entered F1 just now, the murderer couldn't have come down from above." Xiao Du said cautiously, "So..."

Zhou Weiqi exclaimed: "The murderer is also underground?!"

bah—

There was a heavy sound from deep in the corridor. Xiao Du pointed to the source of the sound and shouted: "Someone is there!"

There was a gust of breeze around him, and someone was faster than him and had already rushed deeper into the corridor.

At this moment, all the lights in the corridor were suddenly turned on!

The brightness was far beyond what the human eye could bear, not to mention that the lights flickered on and off at an extremely high frequency, making everyone dizzy.

Professor Xia even held his hand on the wall and retched.

Zhou Weiqi covered his eyes that were crying and said loudly: "It's broken, I can't see anything clearly... Xiao Du, Director, how are you doing!"

No one answered him, and what was worse, someone covered his mouth from behind!
