"Open the black coffin?"
The four of them looked at the black coffin not far away, which was quietly placed there, and the whole body was a dark black color. They didn't know if it was their illusion, but the black coffin looked like it had a strange evil aura, which made people feel uneasy.
Lin Wu's eyes moved to Kate, "I feel like I can't open it."
"Boss, we don't know what's in the black coffin. What if it's something dangerous? Then we won't gain anything but lose money." Xiao Yang and Zhang Shan also said.
Kate was surprisingly persistent.
He walked towards the black coffin, saying as he walked: "Since entering this underground tomb, I haven't encountered any danger yet, I just got lost. Maybe when the tomb owner built this place, he just kept something outside to guard it, and didn't put anything inside."
Stopping at the bottom of the stairs, Kate stared at the black coffin above, as if she was also weighing the pros and cons.
"Even if there is something in this black coffin, it will be a dead person at most."
"They have been dead for who knows how many years. They are motionless. It is impossible for them to suddenly jump up and attack us after they are opened."
"But maybe there will be an exit...that I need."
Xiao Yang was stunned: "Exit? Boss, how can you build an exit in a coffin? The dead inside will probably come back to life."
Zhang Shan next to him was speechless: "Can you say something auspicious? If you really pretend to be dead, I will never forgive you."
Xiao Yang muttered, "I was just thinking, how could a dead person come back to life? This isn't a dream, anything outrageous can happen."
At this time, Bo Yuting suddenly said: "In this case, let's open it and take a look."
The air was silent.
Lin Wu unexpectedly turned around and looked at Bo Yuting.
Kate in front also looked back in surprise. She didn't expect that Bo Yuting would actually support him.
Bo Yuting curled his lips, "Let's open it and take a look. Maybe there will be something we want. Isn't it said that people in the past would bury some treasures with themselves after they died? The things outside are already so valuable, and there may be more valuable things inside. In this case, it's worth opening it."
Kate looked at Bo Yuting inexplicably, with a strange look in her eyes.
Zhang Shan's eyes lit up: "Can we take out something valuable?"
"Of course, as long as you are alive, it's fine." Bo Yuting said.
Zhang Shan: “…”
Bo Yuting didn't say any more nonsense and strode forward, "Go open the coffin."
Seeing this, the others also moved over.
Lin Wu grabbed Bo Yuting and asked, "Why do you want to open it?"
"For a way out, or something valuable." Bo Yuting said leisurely.
Lin Wu looked at him.
The man laughed and lowered his voice: "Well, let's see what he wants to do."
Lin Wu glanced at Kate, hummed, and said nothing more.
The five men walked up the stairs to the black coffin. The crowbars they brought had been used as torches before and they didn't know where they were lost. It was a bit troublesome to pry the coffin open now.
Fortunately, the coffin was not nailed shut. They found the gap in the coffin lid and inserted the blade of the dagger into it. They pried it open with all their might and then pushed it open with force.
Lin Wu was cautious and stopped them, telling them to move the entire coffin to the side first to see if there was an exit underneath the coffin that was just being crushed by the coffin.
The few people had no objection. After pushing the door open, they saw a solid and flat stone brick floor with no exit at all.
Xiao Yang and Zhang Shan looked at each other, wondering if they didn't need to open the black coffin anymore.
Kate insisted, "We've already moved the coffin, so it doesn't matter if we move it more or less. Come on, push the coffin lid open."
"That's right. Now that I'm here, I might as well watch the whole thing."
Xiao Yang and Zhang Shan thought it made sense.
They continued to push the coffin lid.
Gu estimated that the black coffin was made of solid bricks or black iron. In any case, it was extremely heavy and required four big men to push it together.
After five full minutes, the coffin lid was finally flipped down, revealing the inside of the black coffin.
"I want to see how many funerary objects must be put in here to warrant such an elaborate coffin..."
Xiao Yang held onto the edge of the coffin, gasping for breath. He turned around to look inside, but the next moment he let out a terrified scream, stepped back and sat down on the ground.
Zhang Shan blurted out "Fuck!" and backed away with a pale face.
Lin Wu always had a bad feeling, and since the museum was open and she was not needed, she just stood by, alert and ready to take action at any time.
Seeing this, she frowned and stepped forward, but was stopped by Bo Yuting and Kate at the same time.
"…Inside, it's better not to look."
They both shook their heads at her.
This actually aroused Lin Wu's curiosity.
She said it was okay, looked into the black coffin, and her pupils shrank slightly.
There was indeed a person lying in the coffin, motionless, it was a male corpse.
He did not turn into a mummy over time, and his bluish-white face was still lifelike, but very cold and terrifying. His eyes were still open, and his turbid and bloodshot eyeballs were slightly bulging, which looked even more eerie under the cold white light of the flashlight, not like a living person!
Actually, it’s nothing.
The important thing is that when she looked down, Lin Wu saw that the lower body of the male corpse was not legs, but a black snake tail extending from the strange clothes, coiled into a ball, as thick as her waist, and nearly two meters long! The scales on the snake tail were shiny black, hard and sharp like a blade, and could easily cut a person!
This turned out to be a dead body with a human body and a snake tail!
Lin Wuwei hissed, "Is his tail...real or..."
Bo Yuting used a dagger to lift up the hem of the man's clothes, took a few glances, found a pair of gloves from his backpack, put them on, and pressed a few times to check.
Then he looked at Lin Wu and the others. He felt it was absurd but had to believe it and said, "It's true. This snake tail grew out of his body naturally. There is no sign of splicing or stitching. It is natural."
He continued to examine. "There are still many scars on his body. They seem to be old injuries. The specific cause of death... cannot be seen for the time being. I think it's a bit strange..."
"What's strange about that?"
Lin Wu and Kate asked in unison.
Bo Yuting looked at the corpse from head to toe, and finally his eyes unconsciously fell on the angular face of the corpse. He pondered for a few seconds and said, "I can't put it into words for now, he seems... looks very strange..."
"Looks weird? What's so weird about it?"
Xiao Yang and Zhang Shan had recovered by now and walked forward fearfully.
This is not like them, with eyebrows, eyes, nose and mouth.
Bo Yuting: "This is just my feeling. I don't know how to describe it."
Xiao Yang was scared: "I think his appearance here is the biggest surprise! How could there be a snake man? No, he can't be called a human, he's more like a monster, just like those outside!"
His worldview seemed to have collapsed, and he held his head and wailed, "Who on earth is the owner of this tomb? How could he have brought so many strange monsters here? What kind of life am I selling on this trip?"
The word "monster" reminded Lin Wu!
Lin Wu suddenly turned his head to look at Bo Yuting and said, "Do you still remember Lu Guichi? He is..."
Bo Yuting quickly understood: "You suspect that this snake man is the same race as Lu Guichi?"
"I don't know, but if this kind of thing that is neither human nor human really exists, I can only think of him." Lin Wu said in a serious tone.
Xiao Yang and Zhang Shan on the opposite side were stunned.
More than one monster?
Kate looked at Lin Wu and Bo Yuting, but she wasn't too surprised.
“No matter whether it is or not, you guys step back and I’ll look for anything useful, and then we’ll leave as soon as possible.”
He pulled Lin Wu away a little, endured the tingling sensation on his scalp, and walked forward to carefully search the inside of the coffin.
But the black coffin was empty, with nothing inside except the male corpse.
Kate couldn't hide her disappointment, "Let's go."
Xiao Yang and Zhang Shan didn't want to stay any longer, so they nodded repeatedly and ran away quickly.
Lin Wu couldn't help but take a few more glances at the male corpse, and turned away. She asked inexplicably, "Are there people like Lu Guichi in this world... and are there many of them?"
Bo Yuting said: "Maybe. But one Lu Guichi is enough to give me a headache, I hope there won't be more."
Lin Wu nodded solemnly and followed Kate and the other two.
Suddenly, she felt her little finger being hooked. The touch was a little cold, and it seemed to pass by and then disappear.
