Well of Mystery

"This is the coffin that Crazy Zhu said?!" Jiang Chenglu quickly remembered that incident: "But isn't that coffin made by Crazy Zhu?"

"We've all seen it, and it's certainly not entirely imaginary. However, there may be discrepancies in the origin and purpose."

With that said, Bai Xiuqi and Shang Douxing also rushed over despite the heavy rain.The three of them went up and down to check the condition of the coffin.

The coffin is nearly three meters long and half a person's height.For a long time, a lot of water and silt accumulated in it, a black mass, and a few weeds grew.

"It's not black or white, but flesh-red." Bai Xiuqi spotted the key situation at a glance: "It seems to be different from the rocks in other places on the island."

"This should be granite." Shang Douxing judged.

"Isn't this island made of basalt and limestone?"

Jiang Chenglu was talking to himself, while groping with his hands against the outer wall of the coffin.

"There seems to be something on it, um... What kind of monster is this?"

The heavy rain washed away some of the topsoil outside the coffin, exposing the reliefs on the flesh-red rock surface.Bai Xiuqi had seen some ornately carved coffins, usually of the Western Paradise or the blessed land of Taoism, but the coffin in front of him had a different theme engraved on it.

"Look, here's a man with his head chopped off."

He pointed to a headless man kneeling on the ground, and moved his finger to its right side: "Is this man being put into a frying pan?!"

That's right, the world of reliefs unfolding in front of my eyes is simply like hell, full of terrifying scenes of human beings being tortured.

"What kind of psychopath would want to lie in such a coffin?" Jiang Chenglu muttered to himself.

The three of them walked around the coffin, and what they saw could only be explained as shocking.There is also a scene carved on the right side of the coffin.That is a lot of human beings tied with ropes, walking in a row like a bunch of grasshoppers in a wilderness, full of ghosts and ghosts everywhere, and the narrow road they walk is dotted with arches like arches one after another.

"Isn't this Huangquan Road?" Bai Xiuqi saw it at a glance. "It is carved so realistically, does it mean that the sculptor has really been to that place?"

"It's possible."

Jiang Chenglu reached out to help Bai Xiuqi lower the brim of his raincoat a little: "From the material point of view, this coffin should have been brought to the island from outside, and it is not ruled out that some experts came to the island to practice. After the autopsy This coffin was left behind..."

Shang Douxing took two more steps, and found something faintly reflecting the water in the mud washed away by the rain.

It is steel rope.

Two finger-thin steel ropes were pressed under the stone coffin, even leaving shallow strangle marks on the lower part of the coffin.

"It's a helicopter." Jiang Chenglu pointed to the top of his head, "This is the rhythm of wanting to use a helicopter to lift the coffin out."

"But they failed." Bai Xiuqi added: "The coffin was not taken away, and the steel cable was also left here."

As he spoke, he picked up one and held it in his hand and traced it a little bit, and soon found the end of the cable.

"It was broken."

It's too obvious, the fracture is like a horse's tail, it should be a fracture caused by unbearable external force.

"This coffin is heavy?" Jiang Chenglu stretched out his hand to push it, and actually moved it a bit: "It's okay."

"What's the matter, you are the dragon king who broke down the iron gate with your bare hands. I'm afraid the spiral wings of the helicopter can't kill you."

Bai Xiuqi gave Jiang Chenglu a contemptuous look, and was about to persuade him to fly back to Xuanjing Apartment with the coffin on his back.Suddenly, he found that something seemed to move inside the coffin.

"There are bubbles in the water!"

That's right, although the raindrops are constantly disturbing the water in the coffin, it can still be seen.There is another disturbance surging up from under the water.

There were more and more bubbles, and soon it turned into a small fountain.Jiang Chenglu pulled Bai Xiuqi behind him, and suddenly heard Bai Xiuqi's loud reminder: "Be careful!"

It was too late and then fast, Jiang Chenglu suddenly felt a gust of cold wind hit the back of his forehead, he instinctively dodged to the side, and then felt a hot cold pain on his back, as if he had been severely whipped .

He turned around in astonishment.I found that the steel cables that were still piled on the ground just now twisted, standing upright like a cobra, swaying slightly.

"what's the situation?!"

"I don't know!" Bai Xiuqi shook her head nervously: "The coffin was bubbling just now, and then that's it!"

While he was talking, the steel cable swung over quickly again, and this time it was Shang Douxing who was caught, not only the raincoat on his stomach was cut open.

"Back, back, back!"

This kind of long-range attack has a huge range and amazing power.Getting drawn is no fun.Jiang Chenglu immediately asked Bai Xiuqi and Shang Douxing to retreat behind the iron gate, but he himself did not follow in.

"What are you going to do?" Bai Xiuqi asked nervously standing in the crack of the door.

"It's okay, close the door and stay away."

Jiang Chenglu only replied with this sentence, and took the initiative to put the iron gate behind him.Although Bai Xiuqi was worried, she also knew that there should be no extra problems.So he could only accompany Shang Douxing back to the seventh floor temporarily.

Not long after, a huge bolt of lightning suddenly appeared outside the building, illuminating the entire building like daytime.Exploding thunder fell almost at the same time, shaking the ceiling to rustle, and the window frames rattled!

Bai Xiuqi's ears were buzzing, and he hurriedly supported the wall to regain his balance.After the thunder fell, there seemed to be a burnt smell in the air.Bai Xiuqi froze for a moment, then suddenly ran up the stairs with both feet.

Pushing open the iron door, the heavy rain is still falling, but the situation on the roof has changed dramatically - the garbage piled at the door has disappeared, replaced by rock fragments all over the floor.

A little further away, the strange rock coffin has disappeared without a trace.In the original position, Jiang Chenglu was bending down to pick up the steel cable on the ground and throw it into the distance.His raincoat and jacket had already been taken off, and there was a red bloodstain on his back, obviously from being whipped by the steel cable just now.

Bai Xiuqi felt distressed when he saw it, and ran to Jiang Chenglu's side in two or three steps, held up an umbrella and dragged him back to the room, and took out a cotton swab from his bag to bandage him.

"I am fine."

Jiang Chenglu, on the contrary, seemed a little excited because he bleed a little: "See? Tell it to play with tentacles on the roof, and it will be struck by the thunder."

"I think you look like you were hacked." Bai Xiuqi put dressing on his back, and took out a spare T-shirt for him to put on: "You are too cruel, this time How can we find out the origin of that coffin?"

"It's okay, I've memorized all those reliefs, and I can only rely on these clues if I want to find out." Jiang Chenglu nodded his head, "It's just that it's thundering and raining outside, so don't compare them on the rooftop. good."

So the three of them walked along the corridor on the seventh floor, randomly selected a few concealed rooms and went in to have a look.There are traces of overheating in the house, and there is no need for portraits for archives and documents, but it can still be seen from the furnishings and layout that this building should be an administrative office building for the labor camp mine managers.

"There is an elevator here." Bai Xiuqi pointed to a closed iron door next to it: "The coffin should have been carried upstairs from here, but the elevator was damaged after the fire, so we had to try to transport it by air. But the mine Why did the people of China put the coffin in such a tall building?"

"Maybe they want to protect cultural relics." Jiang Chenglu put forward a hypothesis: "For example, the first floor and the basement are prone to moisture. Anyway, there are elevators to transfer them to higher places."

However, Bai Xiuqi thinks this statement is untenable: "But if it is a cultural relic, it should be sent to the cultural relics management department on land as soon as possible. It is against the law to keep it privately."

Shang Douxing suddenly asked: "I heard you mentioned before that there should be someone inside the coffin. Could it be that person who hid the coffin?"

"Then the legends told by Lao Tang, have they all become reality?" Jiang Chenglu suddenly raised his head: "Where is the person in the coffin now?"

"..."

Another bolt of lightning strikes down, revealing a messy and pale room.Bai Xiuqi shivered in horror, feeling a different kind of fear.

How many incredible things will happen on this rose fire island...

Unknowingly, the heavy rain continued for nearly half an hour before it gradually stopped.After the vision improved, they found two more areas with nine-color flowers in the east.But they didn't rush over to check immediately.

Because the voice of the radio shouting suddenly sounded in the middle of the air in the distance.

Bai Xiuqi hadn't heard such a simple and rude way of shouting for many years.He still vaguely remembers that when he went to sketch in a rural village, the radio station in the village would start playing music at seven o’clock every morning, and every corner of the village from the beginning to the end of the village could be clearly heard, which made those students who loved to sleep in really miserable. Not enough.Obviously, a similar broadcast mode should be set up on Rose Fire Island-this is still a very good way to communicate the situation in areas with underdeveloped communications.

Bai Xiuqi speculated that the nearest broadcast point was probably set up near the gatekeeper's hut of the "Great Wall", so it could barely be heard clearly even standing in the office building of the Laogai Mine.The three of them pieced together what they heard, and found that it was an urgent notice issued by Rosefire Island's so-called "official" to all those stranded on the island.

According to the latest news released by the Meteorological Bureau, the typhoon "Poseidon" has been upgraded to become a strong typhoon, and it is very likely to hit the islands near Rose Fire Island head-on.The expected landing time will be tomorrow afternoon or night, and from now on, everyone on Rosefire Island must obey the command, relocate from the lower ground to the higher ground, and maintain close contact with other people.

"It looks like we have to go back." Jiang Chenglu shrugged: "Before they find out that we are missing."
