Chapter 1170 Mass Burial Grounds
These people were not ambiguous, and they set off early the next morning, without stopping. Before noon, they arrived at the mass burial ground outside the city. According to the informant's guidance, they quickly found the location where the nameless charred corpse was buried.
Taking advantage of the bright sun, everyone felt emboldened. They swung their tools, one after another, and after a while, they dug up a charred corpse.
The corpse was jet-black, and just looking at it was creepy.
At first, no one dared to touch it. After some discussion, they decided to throw a rope around the charred corpse's head. Together, they dragged the corpse out of the pit.
But during the process of dragging the corpse, an accident happened. The corpse actually broke at the neck. Even more bizarre, the head of the corpse, burned bald, seemed to lock onto a target, rolling towards the leading police officer with a "glug glug" sound.
The police officer was terrified and jumped back, narrowly avoiding it.
But another police officer who came along stared at the head, his pupils contracting uncontrollably, as if he had seen an extremely terrifying scene. The next second, he screamed, "This... isn't this Guo Tian? How did he become like this!"
Hearing this, everyone was stunned. Guo Tian was the police officer who was rumored to have been taken away by a ghost. His whole family had disappeared. The matter had caused a great stir in the local area, and they couldn't help but know about it.
"Don't talk nonsense!" the leading police officer shouted.
"I... I'm telling the truth, look, in this head's mouth, slightly to the right, aren't there two missing teeth?" The police officer was almost crying, his voice trembling.
Everyone looked, and indeed, as he said, the corpse's ugly gums were exposed, and the two missing teeth were very obvious.
"Guo Tian's teeth are like this! There was one time when he and I went to arrest a criminal, and the man resisted arrest. Guo Tian fell down the stairs while chasing him and lost two teeth."
"If you don't believe me, you can ask other people who know Guo Tian!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone present's eyes changed when they looked at the corpse. A chill ran down their spines. "How could this corpse be Guo Tian? How... how did he become like this?"
"Also, if this corpse is really Guo Tian, then... then where did the corpse that was originally buried here go?" someone asked.
This question was destined to have no answer. The scene was deadlocked at this moment. Just then, someone with sharp eyes saw another small thing at the bottom of the dug pit.
That little thing was glittering, like... like jewelry.
Now, even the police officer couldn't sit still. He took out his gun and forcefully ordered the person who had recognized Guo Tian to go down and continue digging to see what else was at the bottom of the pit.
With a gun pointed at him, even if this person was reluctant, he had no choice but to go down, crying and muttering in a low voice, asking Guo Tian not to trouble him. After all, the two had worked together before, and he had been quite nice to him. He asked the other party not to scare him, that he didn't want to do this either, but the bastards above had guns.
Perhaps the prayer really worked, and this time everything went smoothly. But what was chilling was that at the bottom of the pit, he slowly brushed away the soil, and a charred hand, like a chicken claw, was exposed.
Another corpse was discovered!
"Quick, dig out the corpse and see if it's the missing one!" At this moment, the police officer above was hysterical. He knew that if this matter could not be resolved properly, then his career as a police officer would be over.
Unlike the previous police officer, he would rather offend these messy things than offend the dignitaries behind the Roman Grand Hotel.
Soon after, this corpse was also dug out, but judging from the gold ring on its hand, this person was definitely not the previous nameless charred corpse, but a female corpse!
Everyone present immediately realized that in addition to Guo Tian, his family had disappeared, including his wife and a child.
It seemed that this female corpse was Guo Tian's wife!
According to this line of thought, the police officer pointed the gun at the head of the person below, telling him not to stop, to keep digging. There must be more corpses below. He wanted to see, in broad daylight, what kind of ghost was causing trouble!
Unsurprisingly, under the female corpse, another, obviously smaller, skeleton was quickly dug out. It was clear that it was a child, Guo Tian's child.
At the ankle of the corpse, there was also a black anklet, which looked to be made of silver.
With the three corpses being dug out, the scene immediately became tense, because everyone knew that what came next was the main event.
If another corpse was dug out, then that would be the culprit of this incident, which was the nameless corpse.
Now, it was not the time to talk about friendship. Not only this police officer, but even some people who had a good relationship with the poor police officer below began to pull out their guns, aiming at the bottom of the pit, intending that no matter whether the strange corpse caused trouble or not, as long as it showed its head, they would shoot it full of holes.
For a time, only the sound of people's heartbeats and the sound of digging could be heard nearby.
The poor man below seemed to be numb, just squatting in the pit below, slowly digging the soil with the tools in his hand.
Listening to the sound of tools rubbing against the soil, everyone's mood couldn't help but become irritable.
It was as if... something terrible was about to happen.
Time passed little by little, and the pit below became deeper and deeper. The soil was even becoming difficult to dig. At this time, the leading police officer finally breathed a sigh of relief. He could see that this matter should end here today.
The soil below had no traces of being turned over, so there would be no more corpses below.
Calculating that with the three corpses in front of him, they could be considered to have completed their mission.
At worst, they could add a few shots to the three corpses in front of them, creating the appearance of having experienced a great battle, and then subduing these strange corpses. In this way, not only would they have an explanation when they returned, but even a promotion and a raise would be just around the corner.
The police officer pursed his lips, then put away his gun and put on a smiling face, smiling at the person who was still digging with his head down, looking dejected, "Wu Dali, stop digging, there won't be any more below. Come, come up, let's call it a day."
"You performed well today. When we get back, as long as you keep your mouth shut and don't talk nonsense, when the credit comes down, you'll get your share!"
Others also chimed in, wanting to ease the awkward scene, but unexpectedly, Wu Dali seemed not to have heard, and was still bending over, digging the soil one after another.
"What the hell are you doing?"
Someone jumped into the pit to pull Wu Dali, but as Wu Dali raised his head, the person who came down to pull him let out a piercing scream. Before him was a face that had been burned beyond recognition.
