Chapter 371 Cause of Death

Eggplant lit a pipe:

"Fuck, you still have to deduce the cause of death. It's like killing someone with a script."

Ji Hanxin said that a few months ago, she really thought this was a script kill for virtual reality.

Chen Ke first thought of the bones he saw at the bottom of Jushan Mental Hospital:

"Brother Ji, are there some man-eating insects?"

"It doesn't seem like it. The bones are too clean and there are no traces of insect bites."

It doesn't look like he failed to climb the cliff and fell, otherwise there would definitely be scars on his bones.

Song Qian said:

"Maybe we are overthinking it. Maybe they were killed by people or monsters who directly penetrated their hearts or cut their throats."

Eggplant shook his head and said:

"The operation of killing without damaging the bones requires a high degree of precision for a killer, let alone a monster. It can't explain their posture."

When he encountered a problem and had no idea, Ji Han began to list it one by one:

"The eight skeletons had no injuries or poisoning on their bodies, and there were no signs of escaping into the sinkhole. Why did they die here? And they were still hugging each other?"

Besides, the eight of them must have had ropes when they came down. How could they be trapped here and die without any struggle?

The first thing Ji Han could think of was starving to death, but they could obviously climb up the not so steep side of the sinkhole, which was better than sitting down and waiting to die, and they wouldn't starve to death here.

However, after Ji Han listed it one by one, he provided Eggplant with an idea.

"Hey, I seem to have thought of a possibility."

The three of them all turned to look at Qiezi, but Qiezi did not say anything immediately. Instead, he looked at Chen Ke first.

"Brother Qie, what are you looking at me for? I didn't kill him."

Eggplant smiled and said:

"I want you to be mentally prepared, because in this case, I think the most reasonable explanation is: all eight of them were scared to death."

When Ji Han, Song Qian and Chen Ke heard this, they were shocked at first, but then they understood what Eggplant meant.

If the eight of them were frightened to death, wouldn't it be possible to leave their bones intact?

The most important thing is to see something extremely scary, and it becomes reasonable for the two to embrace each other.

Upon hearing this, Chen Ke swallowed his saliva and moved towards the eggplant:

"Fuck, Fuck, Brother Qie, don't scare me."

"Crap, I didn't mean to scare you. This is just a normal guess based on common sense."

Chen Ke became even more frightened when he said that, and hugged Hyakkimaru directly in front of him.

Song Qian continued:

"Isn't this a bit unbelievable? Chen Ke just said that these eight may be monks. Let's not talk about their Taoism. On the one hand, they are also people who have practiced Buddhism. On the other hand, since they are here, they may be here to conquer demons and catch monsters. , but ended up being scared to death, doesn’t this seem unreasonable?”

Song Qian was right. Under normal circumstances, few people would be scared to death.

Ji Han had heard of a horror writer before. When he wrote about a ghost knocking on the door, his family happened to knock on the door, and he was frightened to death.

However, the rumor was later debunked and it was just hype.

Although tangible fear is scary, it generally does not scare people to death, unless there is some congenital disease such as heart disease.

If you have to say it, unless it is some incomprehensible fear.

For example, in the Cthulhu mythology plot, people are often scared to death because it is an incomprehensible fear.

The fear of Cthulhu is like the inability of insects to understand humans, but it doesn't look like Cthulhu exists in this place.

Chen Ke reminded:

"Brother Ji, how about we move on? Staying here is not an option. Others may attract something."

In order to comfort Chen Ke, Ji Han also told his guess: Qiang Shi Du Shi

"I think there is another possibility. They may have been drugged or had some kind of hallucination, just like we were spinning around in the tomb of King Zhao, so they couldn't get out on this stone. As for hugging each other It’s very possible that he saw something in a fantasy world.”

When Chen Ke heard this, the fear in his heart immediately dissipated a lot, and he hurriedly affirmed: At this time 9* Zhang Si

"Brother Ji, I think your theory makes sense! That's probably what happened. Maybe he was drugged, or he ate some hallucinogenic fungi nearby."

Ji Han also knew that there was a big problem with his guess, because even if it was hallucination, it would not last for so long that people would starve to death.

Moreover, these monks have no idea about the local problematic fungi, so the possibility of what they said is not high.

However, continuing to discuss it too much here will only make everyone more frightened, so Ji Han stopped in time and said:

"Okay, then let's move on. Be careful, everyone. Take out the antipsychotic medicine I gave you in advance. If you notice something is wrong, take some in advance."

The four of them stepped over the corpses and walked forward. On the west side of the sinkhole, outside the circular pool, was a huge cave tunnel.

Looking up, it looked like a small air-raid shelter. The four of them immediately recognized that this was the cave tunnel that appeared in the Pre-Qin Nine Star Mirror.

Song Qian said:

"Although the three mountains above our heads have disappeared, the tunnel seems to have remained unchanged."

Ji Han frowned and said:

"I don't understand this even more. I originally guessed that the disappearance of the three mountains would be the same as what we encountered before. The Black Rock Mountain fell from the sky and completely changed the landscape here, but now the tunnel has not changed. , it means that the mountains outside may indeed have disappeared out of thin air, let’s go and have a look.”

To be cautious, the four of them did not touch the surrounding pool, but directly ejected the spider silk to the other side and blocked it.

The stones underfoot are not smooth, but there are obvious traces of manual processing in the entire cave tunnel.

The temperature inside the tunnel was slightly higher than outside, but there was no feeling of wind.

Relying on the light coming from the sinkhole, you can barely see that it is extremely empty inside.

Chen Ke threw the lighting rod to both sides, and Eggplant brought an infrared detector to try it out in advance:

"Let's go, there doesn't seem to be any living things here."

Just like the scene in the pre-Qin nine-star mirror, as the four people continued to move inward, the entire valley tunnel became narrower and narrower.

All the way to the end, the space has shrunk to the size of a normal highway tunnel entrance, and the traces of manual excavation here have become more obvious.

The entrance to the huge tunnel at the end was dark, and it was hard to see clearly inside. Zhi Da Zhi Xiao

Just as Chen Ke was about to throw a lighting rod inside, Eggplant caught him, then pointed at the two large rocks in the corner with a flashlight and said:

"Wait a minute, look here first."

As he spoke, he took the lead and walked over, only to see a broken stone tablet thrown in the corner of the tunnel, with three words vaguely engraved on it.
