E-book 4: Chapter 52: Open the Sleeping Bag

Earlier than taking place, I particularly seemed for Fatty’s place. I did not wish to move by any member of Xiao Hua’s crew, so I climbed straight down in direction of Fatty.

As soon as I reached him, he requested me how my chat with Xiao Hua went. After I advised him that Xiao Hua fell asleep whereas speaking, Fatty sighed deeply and stated to me, “It is not simple. Do you assume theres a straightforward mode for all times?”(1)

I skilled it as soon as earlier than, however I didnt remorse shedding it. In any case, it wasnt like there was a remorse possibility in life, so there was no level in fascinated about it. “Hows Tang Tang?” I requested him.

“There actually are adjustments. Check out them.” He pointed to Xiao Hua’s crew members on the sideeveryone seemed like they had been going through a giant enemyand then pointed his flashlight on the physique.

I actually wasn’t able to see what Jin Wantang seemed like now, however I might see his severely dehydrated and shriveled palms uncovered by the half-opened sleeping bag.

I first checked to see if his nails had grown longer, however Fatty simply shook his head and held Jin Wantang’s withered hand up for me to see. I discovered that on some components of his hand, the muscle tissues seemed like they had been pulsating. These pulsations had been very unusual, nearly like bugs had been shifting by means of his veins.

If this had been a recent corpse, it wouldnt be shocking to see such a neurological reflex, however Jin Wantangs physique was nearly mummified. The cells ought to nearly be useless, so why had been his muscle tissues nonetheless pulsating?

“We now have to take a look at the face. Are you prepared?” Fatty requested me.

I nodded and took a deep breath simply as Fatty pulled the remainder of the sleeping bag away, revealing Jin Wantang’s face.

Straight away, all my hair stood on finish. Jin Wantang’s face was utterly shriveled up and his hair was nearly falling out, however his cranium had one way or the other change into very elongated. It distorted his facial options by pulling his eyes all the way in which as much as the place his brow was alleged to be.

However his eyes had been nonetheless wanting down, as if he was wanting down at us. It could have been cheap to imagine that his eyeballs had shrunk into his eye sockets by now, however as a substitute, they had been nonetheless there. Plus, that they had turned a grayish-green colour.

It was too scary. I had by no means seen this sort of facelift have an effect on someones facial options a lot earlier than.

“Individuals cannot be resurrected after dying. It’s a must to throw it down.”

I checked out Jin Wantang, however I did not acknowledge him anymore. My fingers had been shaking as I requested Fatty to shut the sleeping bag again up. I wasnt a person who couldnt decide about this sort of factor, but when Previous Jin’s physique was thrown down the cliff, would he be trapped right here without end?

I knew that it had all been in my head, however I couldnt brush off that scene I had witnessed on the grassland earlier than.

“How lengthy do we have now?”

“There ought to nonetheless be a couple of days left,” he stated.

I breathed a sigh of aid, however at the moment, I instantly noticed Poker-Face resting behind Fatty along with his eyes closed.

I stared blankly for a second. Shit, is not Poker-Face maintaining a tally of Xiao Hua above us? However after taking a look at Poker-Face, it appeared that he had by no means moved from his place.

Little Brother? I known as out. He opened his eyes and gave me a questioning look.

I thought of it for a second after which broke out in a chilly sweat. That is dangerous, I stated to myself earlier than I instantly began climbing up.
