Chapter 1008 Island City
"City? There are still drainage ditches."
"What are these viscous liquids?"
Different from Yang Kai's normal way of observing with naked eyes, Mia's eyes were shining with green light, she was analyzing the whole island under her feet, and said in a deep voice:
"I think this is an ancient city that belongs to the souls of the dead. If they were all resurrected from the tomb, there wouldn't even be room for needlepoints on the streets."
"The dead will fill every hill and valley here, all the way around the city."
In order to verify her words, she pointed at Lu Li's feet, where there was a bluestone slab, and added:
"You can break it open and see that the coffin on the top floor is right next to the stone slab."
After the words fell, Lu Li had already started to act.
Corpse stink?
He didn't smell it, but the werewolf's intuition was so keen that it was almost a prophet, and the moment Lu Li stepped into the island, he was giving a warning.
One punch landed.
The stone slab cracked without any suspense, revealing the situation inside: the clay coffin lay quietly in the soil, only a layer of bluestone slab was separated from the sole of the foot, and more coffins of the same material were stored under it.
Is it a huge island made of coffins as the foundation?
Yang Kai's heart pounded.
When Lu Li casually lifted the lid of the coffin and saw the corpse lying inside, his hairs stood on end and he couldn't help exclaiming, "I've seen her!"
"The passengers of the Titan died because they fell into the sea, lost temperature and choked on water, and were later hooked up by fishing rods."
One dead and two dead.
Lu Li looked at the pregnant woman's body and fell into deep thought. Then he carried the coffin to a distance and put it down, starting the next level, another coffin.
"The clothes are a bit old."
In a low voice, he took out the dissection suit from the suitcase.
Although it is not the first time to see it, Mia is still amazed at this prop that can fold space.
"Senior, don't you think dissecting such an unknown corpse will involve taboos and cause a series of troubles?"
Yang Kai is afraid of corpses, especially this kind of corpses that are wearing ancient robes and have not rotted for countless years.
"In Victorian London, homeless people and war immigrants died of various reasons, and these corpses severely squeezed the living space of the living."
Maybe it was a bad taste, Lu Li dissected the corpse while telling the history: "I once saw a gravedigger in Soho District, and he worked in St. Ann's Cemetery."
"The inside story is that when a new body needs to be buried, the previous body is dug up, the coffin is chopped up for firewood, and if the bodies inside are too new to rot, the gentleman breaks them up with a shovel .”
"Nails and nameplates from the coffins are sold on the second-hand market, and the bones are piled in corners to be burned and sold to places that buy animal bones for fertilizer."
"The situation in some churches is not much better. I remember that in the cellar of St. Clementine on the Strata, the air was so foul that the candles could not burn. In order to ensure the safety of the mourners, the priest would ventilate it a few days in advance. .”
"Therefore, there is nothing scary about the corpse, even if he was injected with evil tissue fluid and became a believer of evil gods..."
As he said that, Lu Li pulled out a dark black deformed blood vessel from the fully unfolded back muscle tissue of the corpse.
It can no longer be described as twists and turns, and it is covered with structures similar to octopus wrist suckers, and the membranes are separated by a substance similar to brittle bones.
What will it taste like when you use it for hot pot?
Lu Li's thoughts diverged slightly.
During the entire dissection process, Mia didn't speak, she stared at the man's operation intently.
London.
St. Ann's Cemetery in Soho.
Church of St. Clementine on the Strand.
She had never heard of such place names, but she was able to understand Lu Li's various techniques in dissecting corpses.
Simple and fast.
Easier than killing a chicken.
Yang Kai felt the same way. He felt that this ancient corpse was like a livestock that was thrown into an assembly line for slaughter, and was divided into various parts in a short while.
Of course, the machine was far less meticulous than Lu Li's. He was a skilled hand, and under Bai Xiao's care, he did not know how many corpses were dissected.
"Some kind of existence on the island seems to want to transform the dead into some kind of undead dark creature."
Based on past autopsy experience and imagination, Lu Li guessed.
In this regard, the two were unable to provide any insights. They had little knowledge and were afraid of interfering with the boss's correct judgment.
"Forget it, continue to dissect."
The line of sight fell to the next floor.
After breaking open a bluestone slab and taking out two coffins, you can see that there are coffins piled up on the left, right and bottom.
Time passed slowly.
There were more and more coffins, and the corpses Lu Li touched became more and more strange and deformed.
So, are the coffins arranged according to the time of death?
At first Lu Li didn't intend to dissect the corpse of the pregnant woman, but with this trend...he had to figure out the situation, so he couldn't let go of any clues.
Sacrifice?
Enhance some kind of dark force?
Become a family member of the evil god?
Or not so many twists and turns, just some unknown being doing it at will.
These are all possibilities that Yang Kai can think about, and there are many more, limited by his own cognition, he can't think of them at all, and no one can make a 100% accurate guess.
"vomit!"
He started throwing up again.
Ever since the fourth corpse was dissected, a highly alienated humanoid creature, Yang Kai couldn't hold on, and couldn't look at it anymore.
It's not just psychological and physical resistance, the structure of this deformed creature is inexplicably frightening, and the spirit will collapse if you watch too much.
Miss Mia, on the other hand, is doing well.
Standing by the side and accompanying Lu Li's autopsy, he persisted until the last moment before saying in a deep voice, "I want to find a place to sleep, and I don't want to see sticky things for at least two days."
"Hold on a little longer. After I put the coffin back in place, we will head to the depths of this island city."
Lu Li remained calm.
The most deformed corpse is nothing more than a lower-ranking family member, and it cannot be said to refresh the cognition.
When the three stayed at the outermost edge, some groups had already found shelter.
This is a two-story building, the ground is extremely dry, and there is not even a ghost in the house.
Whitebeard, the captain of the Titan, led a group of young boatmen to search around. They first found three primitive clay pots in the corner of the second-floor house.
Slap.
The pottery lid shattered when touched, and in the pile of dust, White Beard saw a few lumps of food, but unfortunately it was too old to identify what it was.
"Maybe make do for the night."
"That's it. The situation in other buildings is obviously worse. In the house I visited not long ago, the stairs were directly stepped on and collapsed."
Everyone chattered.
Until the venerable captain spoke:
"Take turns to watch the night. No matter what abnormality is found, even if it is proved to be a false alarm afterwards, the others must be woken up as soon as possible."
"receive."
"receive."
I have to be cautious. When exploring this island city, there were hundreds of them in total. After a few hours, most of them disappeared without a sound...
