Chapter 76 Accidental Discovery
However, it was not the photo that really attracted Chen Yun's attention, but a small recording book pressed by the photo below. It was written in Japanese, the paper was yellowed, and the handwriting on it was still recognizable. Unfortunately, I didn't understand Japanese, so I could only squat down and asked Chen Yun, saying do you understand?
Chen Yun finally encountered something she didn't know and frowned and said that I don't understand, but looking at the picture above, it should be the topographic map of the ancient tomb and the Kanto Army ruins. I said that this tomb has been moving all the time. If so, what can this fixed dead topographic map play?
Chen Yun said yes, maybe this is the reason why they were trapped here, but it is not certain. Look, another Japanese soldier's short sword was unsheathed. Will they have fought with someone before they died?
I said it was a few decades ago. What is the use of studying the causes of death of these Japanese soldiers? However, the topographic map above can be left behind, and it may help us find the Kanto Army ruins.
Since we got to the tomb, we have been walking for a second way. Now let alone the Kwantung Army ruins, it is a problem whether we can go out alive. However, Chen Yun has a part of the topographic map in his hand. This may be a good thing for us. As long as we can leave this mysterious tomb passage, it should not be difficult to find the exit.
Perhaps because the corpse was turned over by Chen Yun, the corpse on the ground could not maintain balance. As soon as I was about to stand up, the corpse moved by itself, which scared us. We thought it had changed, but the corpse was soon fixed there on the ground, like a stinky salted fish, but I noticed that the moment the corpse had moved earlier, it seemed that some subtle sound suddenly made.
It was a subtle sound of metal friction, and the sound was a bit strange. I was very curious about how this sound could occur on a person who had been dead for decades?
The curiosity in my heart prompted me to decide to study. At this time, I carefully stretched out my feet and gently stepped on my body. Sure enough, I found that there was a ball of hard things inside the lining of his clothes. The moment my feet loosened, I felt the hard thing move.
I was shocked, Damn, what the hell is coming from his body, right?
Chen Yun said, "Don't kick him too hard. After the corpse rots, corpse gas will accumulate in his stomach and is in an inflated state. Beware that he will explode."
I said to Chen Yun, "No, I have to check it again. It seems that something is on him." Chen Yun frowned and said that I had checked it just now and found nothing.
I pointed to these corpses and said, "Don't you find it strange?" The War of Resistance ended in 45 years. These corpses have been here for at least fifty years. Why haven't they completely rotted for more than fifty years? I think it's very likely that it has something to do with their stomachs.
After saying this, I didn't care about her. I used the assistant to gently untied the corpse's clothes with a yellow cloth, and then touched the lining of the corpse's clothes. Well, there was a hard thing.
While I was still carefully deciding what kind of thing it was, the thing suddenly moved again. I immediately shouted to hold the grass, which scared me and took two steps back, and my heart almost jumped out of my throat.
The thing in the body of this corpse is cold and sometimes it moves, and its pulse frequency is not fast, but it looks like a human heart, and it occasionally beats a few times. Chen Yun's face changed and she was about to leave when she grabbed me, but I grabbed her with my backhand and said, "Go away and let me do it myself."
Seeing that I was so persistent, Chen Yun was helpless and said, "Why did you have to care about the things in the belly of a dead body?"
I looked at Chen Yun and felt that such words were strange from her mouth. Ordinary people would naturally subconsciously avoid any strange things when they encountered them, but I firmly believe that Chen Yun would not. This woman's curiosity is more serious than anyone else, so why should she stop me now?
Are you really scared? But when I see her expression, she doesn't look like she is particularly scared.
At this time, I took out a dagger, waved at Chen Yun, asking her to retreat first, and then gently cut the corpse's clothes with the dagger, and opened a hole in the lining of the clothes. At this moment, something like a snake slipped out.
This thing made a metal friction sound on the floor. After a while, it was already rolling half a meter away. I was startled and subconsciously waved the dagger and slashed at it. Chen Yun's voice came from his ear, don't move...
The dagger that was chopped off was still in the air. After looking at it again, my eyes suddenly flashed. I actually saw a pocket watch, and I could vaguely hear the "crack" sound.
"Is this a pocket watch?" I frowned, leaned over carefully, raised the bracelet with a dagger, looked in front of me, nodded, and handed the pocket watch to Chen Yun, saying that the quality of this pocket watch is so good, and it has been changing for decades?
Chen Yun shook her head and said no. This is not the sound of clockwork turning. It is when the corpse moves, and something inside moves. If it doesn't work, you pry the iron outside open, and there will definitely be no clockwork inside.
I was half-believing and half-doubted about Chen Yun's statement. I quickly squatted down, stepped on the cover outside the pocket watch with my feet, and gently pried open the outer skin with a dagger, and then squatted down and took a look. Sure enough, a string of metal keys were lying in the pop-up pocket watch.
"It's the key!" I covered the yellow cloth on it, picked up the metal key, looked at it, and said that the Japanese devil was really smart, hollowed out the metal clockwork in the pocket watch and hid the small key inside. If I hadn't been too careful, I wouldn't have discovered it.
Chen Yun said, "This person cherishes this key so much that he even ruins a pocket watch. As a disguise, during World War II, pocket watches like this were valuable, which means that this key is very precious."
I guessed, "Can this key be the key of a door at the Kwantung Army underground base?" Chen Yun said it was very likely. Then she reached out to me and said, Sima Nan, leave it to me for safekeeping. Do you have no objection?
Of course I had no objection. As I said that, I handed her the key, and Chen Yun wrapped the key with that cloth and put it in her pocket carefully.
I stood up with the Japanese saber, held it in my hand and chopped it up. I thought it was quite useful. The Japanese saber was well-made and was an item from World War II. Maybe I could sell it for a good price outside, so I couldn't bear to let it go, so I wrapped it and put it on my waist.
Chen Yun naturally foresaw my actions, but frowned and said nothing. After all, this was not something of archaeological value, so she continued to walk in front with a flashlight.
