Before going down, I especially looked for Fatty's position. I didn't want to pass by any mber of Xiao Hua's team, so I climbed straight down towards Fatty.
Once I reached him, he asked how my chat with Xiao Hua went. When I told him that Xiao Hua fell asleep while talking, Fatty sighed deeply and said to , "It's not easy. Do you think theres an easy mode for life?"(1)
I experienced it once before, but I didnt regret losing it. In any case, it wasnt like there was a regret option in life, so there was no point in thinking about it. "Hows Tang Tang?" I asked him.
"There really are changes. Take a look at them." He pointed to Xiao Hua's team mbers on the sideeveryone looked like they were facing a big enemyand then pointed his flashlight at the body.
I really wasn't ready to see what Jin Wantang looked like now, but I could see his severely dehydrated and shriveled hands exposed by the half-opened sleeping bag.
I first checked to see if his nails had grown longer, but Fatty just shook his head and held Jin Wantang's withered hand up for to see. I found that on so parts of his hand, the muscles looked like they were pulsating. These pulsations were very strange, almost like bugs were moving through his veins.
If this were a fresh corpse, it wouldnt be surprising to see such a neurological reflex, but Jin Wantangs body was almost mummified. The cells should almost be dead, so why were his muscles still pulsating?
"We have to look at the face. Are you ready?" Fatty asked .
I nodded and took a deep breath just as Fatty pulled the rest of the sleeping bag away, revealing Jin Wantang's face.
In an instant, all my hair stood on end. Jin Wantang's face was completely shriveled up and his hair was almost falling out, but his skull had sohow beco very elongated. It distorted his facial features by pulling his eyes all the way up to where his forehead was supposed to be.
But his eyes were still looking down, as if he was looking down at us. It would have been reasonable to assu that his eyeballs had shrunk into his eye sockets by now, but instead, they were still there. Plus, they had turned a grayish-green color.
It was too scary. I had never seen this kind of facelift affect soones facial features so much before.
I was so dizzy from the sudden shock of it that I had to take a deep breath. A mber of Xiao Hua's team suddenly spoke up at this ti, "His body has already started to change."
I looked at Jin Wantang's face and realized that this might also be what a Shigou Diaos corpse would look like. But I didnt quite believe that Old Jin was a Shigou Diao mber. Theres no way this extravagant guy would ever eat corpse flesh.
Old Jin, ah, Old Jin, what happened to you? Do you have secrets, too? Or were you coerced?
"What's your na?" I asked the speaker.
"Little Master Three, my na is Jin Xingsan." The other man imdiately nodded and bowed. He seed like the type of person who knew how to get around.
"Korean?"
"Yes."
I looked him in the eye. "What will happen if this corpse isnt disposed of?"
Jin Xingsan hesitated for a mont before looking at the others around him. "What? Do you still engage in mysticism even at this ti?" I asked him.
"The head will beco longer and the skin will tear from the upper lip, revealing another face," he responded.
"What do you an?"
"Little Master Three, every corpse here is different. But in this situation, the skin on this corpses face will definitely tear all the way up to the head during the corpse transformation process. The skin can be lifted away from the upper lip to reveal the whole skinless face belowits actually how many costic surgeries are doneand then the corpse will co alive."
"What should I do?"
"People can't be resurrected after death. You have to throw it down."
I looked at Jin Wantang, but I didn't recognize him anymore. My fingers were shaking as I asked Fatty to close the sleeping bag back up. I wasnt a man who couldnt make a decision about this kind of thing, but if Old Jin's body was thrown down the cliff, would he be trapped here forever?
I knew that it had all been in my head, but I couldnt brush off that scene I had witnessed on the grassland before.
"How long do we have?"
"There should still be a few days left," he said.
I breathed a sigh of relief, but at this ti, I suddenly saw Poker-Face resting behind Fatty with his eyes closed.
I stared blankly for a mont. Shit, isn't Poker-Face keeping an eye on Xiao Hua above us? But after looking at Poker-Face, it seed that he had never moved from his position.
Little Brother? I called out. He opened his eyes and gave a questioning look.
I thought about it for a mont and then broke out in a cold sweat. This is bad, I said to myself before I imdiately started climbing up.
