Guanzhong Tomb Robbery Notes

Chapter 223: Falling Human Skin, Crazy

"There's someone in the water!"

Captain Hu shouted.

He immediately snatched the salvage rod from the criminal police officer next to him.

He stretched out his pole and prepared to pull the figure in the water ashore.

Zhao Ziang cautiously took two steps towards the dark river.

It stopped more than three meters away from the edge of the underground river.

They say curiosity kills the cat.

He was driven purely by curiosity and wanted to see who was swimming back.

The figure swam very fast.

Zhao Ziang estimated in his mind that he had at least the speed of a professional swimmer.

Liu Aiguo, who had just been making a fuss about leaving, stopped crying and shouting.

I followed the crowd and stood by the dark river to watch the excitement.

Wow!

The figure swam closer.

It can be clearly seen that his body and legs in the water are bright red.

A long red water trail was left in the water as he swam past.

That red color seems to be the color of blood!

But his head and arms that were exposed above the water looked fine, without any signs of injury.

In short, it seems very contradictory and awkward.

"It's Teacher Xu!" Liu Aiguo recognized the person who swam back.

Then he shouted loudly: "Teacher Xu, here!"

"Are you okay? How are the others?"

Teacher Xu opened and closed his mouth several times, as if answering.

But no one heard what he said.

Perhaps he was too tired from swimming, which caused his voice to be so soft.

Captain Hu extended the salvage rod towards Teacher Xu.

"catch!"

"I'll pull you up!"

Teacher Xu grabbed the end of the salvage rod, and Captain Hu and the old criminal police officer next to him pulled hard together.

Wow.

Teacher Xu was dragged to the edge of the underground river in the water.

Captain Hu let go of the salvage rod, ran over and extended his hand to Teacher Xu.

"Teacher Xu, come up quickly."

"What happened to you? Where are the professors?"

Whoosh whoosh.

Teacher Xu gasped for breath and raised his right hand to hold the hand extended by Captain Hu.

Captain Hu felt something slippery in his hand.

But I didn't think much of it, thinking it was because he had been in the water for too long.

But when you pull it hard, you can hear a hissing sound.

The skin on Teacher Xu's hands was pulled off like taking off a glove!

The pale skin on his hand completely fell off, taking with it most of the skin on his forearm.

Blood was oozing out from the skinless palms and forearms.

Tiny blood beads gathered together to form a blood stream, flowing down.

Teacher Xu didn't cry out in pain.

Instead, he showed an expression of relief and happiness.

It seems that losing his skin can bring him relief and make him happy.

He took the initiative to extend his other hand to Captain Hu.

It was like asking Captain Hu to help him take off the skin of this hand.

Captain Hu's eyes widened.

He looked down at the pale skin in his hand, then looked at Teacher Xu with shock.

"You, you are..."

Teacher Xu opened his mouth as if to speak.

But the only sound coming out of his mouth was the sound of airflow.

An old criminal police officer held up a flashlight and shone it into Teacher Xu's mouth.

His mouth was dark and his tongue was gone!

"what!"

Liu Aiguo was so frightened that he shrank back into the crowd.

The scream brought Captain Hu back to his senses from shock.

He shuddered, and the pale skin he had just taken off fell into the water.

Snapped!

Teacher Xu grabbed Captain Hu's hand and leaned back.

Chila!

His face was torn down the middle.

Half of the face, neck, arms and hands were separated from the body.

pat.

The detached skin fell from Captain Hu's hand, swinging back and forth and slapping against his trouser legs.

The half of Teacher Xu's face that was bleeding and the other half that still had skin formed a yin-yang face.

It caused a huge mental shock to everyone.

They both covered their mouths, the feeling of nausea growing stronger.

Ouch!

It was unknown who made the retching sound first.

Then, like a chain reaction, everyone started vomiting.

After vomiting twice, Captain Hu forced himself to look at Teacher Xu who was sinking into the water.

"You, are you a human or a ghost?"

"What about the rest?!"

Gululu.

Teacher Xu sank to the bottom of the underground river.

The flashlight followed and shone over.

I could only vaguely see him swimming back.

Soon he swam out of the range of the flashlight.

Pfft!

Captain Hu fell to the ground and gasped for breath.

After catching his breath, he held up the skin in his hand and looked at it.

The skin is pale in appearance.

It feels like being separated from body tissues for a long time.

Pick up the end half of the face and look at the inner layer, which is the side connected to the subcutaneous tissue.

Very smooth.

Even a skilled surgeon cannot separate the skin and subcutaneous tissue so smoothly.

This is not something a human can do!

Captain Hu was completely panicked.

He wanted to throw away the skin in his hand.

But this is important evidence and cannot be lost.

So he wanted to give the skin to his men to take away.

But everyone shook their heads and stepped back, no one was willing to take it.

He could only helplessly grab the piece of skin and walk out.

"Look at how ugly you are, turn back!"

Upon hearing the order to go back, everyone ran out.

I was afraid that if I ran too slowly, I would fall behind and encounter something strange.

Everyone took a break only after running out of the cave in one breath.

After Zhao Ziang finished speaking, he smoked another cigarette and took two sips of wine.

"Then we returned to the county police station, and the captain asked a forensic doctor to examine the skin, and they confirmed it was human tissue."

"But the medical examiner couldn't explain how the skin came off the body."

"Captain Hu sorted out the information and reported it to the director overnight. The director told him to burn the report and start over, rewriting it with scientific and rigorous results."

"The report we saw later was a revised one, and it reflected our situation..."

Zhao Ziang shook his head and continued, "After the director reported to his superiors, they decided that the fire department would take over the search and rescue work."

"The firefighters went in but couldn't find anyone. Instead, one firefighter lost half his leg due to an accident while entering the water."

Hong Guangxiang's face turned pale when he heard this.

As if thinking of something, he suddenly asked, "I heard that something happened in your county bureau recently?"

"Well, Captain Hu is crazy."

"They said he was mentally ill due to excessive mental stress, but we knew he was possessed by an evil spirit!"

"And those two veteran detectives, Liu Aiguo, have both gone crazy and are talking nonsense."

"Everyone else was afraid they might be possessed, so they went to the evidence department in the middle of the night, stole the piece of skin they had brought back, and burned it..."

I feel sorry about it.

I was originally thinking about whether I could see that piece of skin to study it, but that thought has been burned.

However, judging from Zhao Ziang's description, the cave is definitely not simple at all!

"Hiss." Hong Guangxiang shuddered.

"Don't talk about this. I'm trembling all over when I hear it."

"Mr. Chen, please don't go to that cave..."

I smiled and waved my hand, "I'm not going to the cave."

"By the way, could you please help arrange for someone to find Old Su's children and grandchildren?"

"Okay, I'll call and let them know."

"Xiao Zhao, stay with Mr. Chen and make sure he's safe!"

After giving the instructions, Hong Guangxiang left the private room.

Zhao Ziang leaned over to my ear and whispered, "I heard Captain Hu brought something out of the cave!"

"He only showed it to two old detectives!"

"I suspect that their possession is related to that thing!"
