Chapter 164: Tonight, let's stay for a while to meet the corpse chaser
"Corpse driver?" Nan Xiaoxiao repeated. "Grandma, are you saying there were corpse drivers passing through here last night? And these seven miners were disrespectful to them, and that's why they died?"
"Yes, I beg everywhere and have seen this kind of thing many times. Every year at this time, those Xiangjiang people who died in foreign lands return to their roots.
The souls of those Xiangjiang people who died unexpectedly in a foreign land will become unexpected death ghosts after death.
The corpse-drivers are wizards from Xiangjiang. They use magic talismans to trap ghosts of the deceased in their corpses, and then control the ghosts to drive the corpses around the village.
It is said that only when the body of a ghost who died suddenly returns to his hometown can the Xiangjiang wizard make the ghost go to the underworld to reincarnate.
Anyone who disrespects them along the way will be killed. What a sin!
You guys should hurry back home. The mine should be shut down for now. Don't mine anymore, otherwise you'll run into a corpse driver and it will be troublesome.
If you run into it, you will be in big trouble.
Tonight, tomorrow night, and until the end of this month, there will be corpse drivers passing by here every day. I never lie.
"I, an old woman, have said all that needs to be said. I am going to beg somewhere else. I don't want to die yet! Ahem, ahem!" The old woman said, then turned around, hunched over, and walked away step by step.
He was still muttering, "The dead are on their way, the living should avoid-"
Zhan Hengyi glanced at Adjutant Xu, who understood and immediately sent someone to quietly follow the old woman.
The old woman walked out of the mine and everyone looked at Nan Xiaoxiao.
Nan Xiaoxiao said, "I know about corpse drivers. Wherever they pass by, there will be a very heavy yin energy that lingers for seven days. But here, there is not a trace of yin energy. This is definitely not the work of a ghost who died suddenly."
She examined each body one by one using a kerosene lamp.
Zhan Hengyi stayed by her side the entire time, protecting her silently, fearing that one of the corpses might suddenly sit up and hurt her.
Everyone present saw the young marshal's actions clearly.
Nan Xiaoxiao stopped beside one of the bodies and pointed at the wound on the abdomen and said, "Look, next to the bite wound on the abdomen, there is a knife wound.
It was not a stab wound from a dagger, but a cut from a professional scalpel.
Looking at the hideous faces and severe bruises of these miners, it shows that they experienced extraordinary pain before their death.
I'm sure that when they were alive, they were conscious and their internal organs were cut out, and they died in pain bit by bit. It was so cruel.
Those who murdered them, after their death, found some wild beasts to eat their bodies to cover up the truth -"
"It's so immoral! Why cut out people's internal organs? What have these miners done to anyone? Do they have any enemies?" Xiang Mo felt sick at the sight of the corpses. At this moment, he tried hard to suppress the nausea in his stomach and said angrily.
Zhan Peilin said, "These miners are always simple and honest. They work hard every day and never argue with anyone."
"Yes, Lao Li and the others are all kind-hearted people. We help each other when we work together and have never had any arguments. How could we be enemies?" said a middle-aged miner among a group of miners standing not far away.
The mines are open during the day, and seven workers are left on duty every night to prevent thieves from secretly mining coal at night.
This was also the first time that a miner had an accident while working the night shift. Everyone was in a heavy mood and very scared at the same time.
Nan Xiaoxiaoxiao went to the eldest brother and talked to him.
Zhan Peilin nodded, and then paid the workers this month's wages and mental compensation, asked them to go home and rest for a few days, and kept what happened in the mine confidential for the time being, and promised to investigate the truth within three days.
After all the workers left.
Nan Xiaoxiao said, "Tonight, we'll leave seven of us here, pretending to be miners, on duty. We'll definitely find some clues. I want to see what happens if we encounter a corpse chaser."
