Meanwhile.
In a police station in Beijing, Blue Star.
A special task force dedicated to finding Dilireba had been quietly established.
The task force was led by Captain Xing, assigned by higher authorities.
Captain Xing had extensive experience in missing persons cases.
“Captain, we can’t locate Dilireba’s position. Her live stream signal is being covered by some mysterious force, and we can’t access it!”
In the technical department, technician Xiao Chen said helplessly.
Captain Xing furrowed his brows and said, “Have you analyzed the video of Dilireba’s disappearance?”
Technician Xiao Chen replied, “We have analyzed it, but we haven’t reached any conclusions. With current technology, we can’t explain why she suddenly disappeared!”
Captain Xing said, “Could it be time travel?”
The entire task force fell silent.
Time travel?
Are you kidding me!
Xiao Chen continued, “Captain, besides the old man and the boatman, the five people Dilireba encountered are Zhang Lin, Wu Tianzhen, Wu Sansheng, Panzi, and Da Kui. Wu Tianzhen and Wu Sansheng are uncle and nephew, and they are tomb robbers!”
“Tomb robbers?”
Captain Xing’s eyes lit up, and he said, “Go check, see if there is any information about these people!”
Xiao Chen nodded, “Yes!”
Just then, Xiao Zhao, the live stream observer, shouted, “Captain, they seem to be in danger!”
Captain Xing quickly looked at the live stream.
In the live stream.
Dilireba and Zhang Lin were sitting on the fishing boat.
Suddenly, the whole boat seemed to hit a reef, shaking violently.
“Wh-what’s going on!”
Dilireba cried out in fear, her potato chips crumbs still clinging to her lips.
Wu Tianzhen was also startled.
Everyone reacted differently, except for Zhang Lin, who seemed calm as ever.
“It must have hit a rock. Everyone calm down.”
Wu Sansheng called out, then turned his head to ask the boatman what happened.
But upon turning, he found that both the boatman and the old guide had disappeared!
Immediately, Wu Sansheng pushed aside Panzi and exclaimed, “Panzi! Where the hell did the boatman and the old guy go?”
Panzi looked back, only to find that the boatman and the old guide were gone at the stern.
Even their dog was missing!
“Damn it!”
“When did those two guys disappear?”
Panzi gritted his teeth and said.
Da Kui was scared to death and immediately said, “They wouldn’t be ghosts, would they?”
Panzi cursed, “Ghosts your grandma! They must be the kind of guys who do murder and robbery!”
And Wu Sansheng suddenly turned pale, “It’s over! Without the dog, we can’t get through the Pile of Corpses!”
Panzi and Da Kui’s faces turned pale.
While Dilireba looked like a curious little kid, “Uh, what’s a Pile of Corpses?”
Wu Sansheng glanced at Dilireba, not answering her.
Instead, he discussed with Panzi how to proceed.
They decided to continue forward, but before making a decision, they still consulted Zhang Lin’s opinion.
Zhang Lin simply nodded.
So, the group continued to row their boat along the river.
After another stretch of rapids, the river calmed down.
The surrounding temperature seemed to have dropped inexplicably.
Dilireba involuntarily shivered.
For some reason, she suddenly felt a little scared.
“Damn it!”
“Once I get out and find that old man, I’ll give him a good beating!”
Panzi grumbled.
“Shh!”
“Don’t speak!”
“Listen!”
Just then, Zhang Lin suddenly spoke.
His voice was soft but powerful, as if possessing a certain magic.
Everyone involuntarily pricked up their ears and listened intently.
Moments later.
A mournful, cold song echoed through the cave.
“Huh!”
“Someone’s singing!”
Dilireba said in surprise, then took another bite of her potato chips.
“……”
Wu Tianzhen and the others looked at Dilireba strangely.
The eerie atmosphere that had been building up was instantly broken.
“Ahem—“
“Let’s go and take a look.”
Wu Sansheng broke the awkwardness and told Panzi and Da Kui to continue rowing the boat forward.
The singing continued, and Dilireba didn’t think anything of it, just kept munching on her potato chips.
Until... Wu Tianzhen’s cry of surprise!
“Look, what’s that!”
Wu Tianzhen shone his flashlight on the riverbed ahead, his face turning pale.
Wu Sansheng and Panzi also pointed their flashlights.
The riverbed ahead was densely packed with decaying corpses!
The decaying flesh had almost formed a layer of mud.
On top of it, countless black and blue insects, the size of a palm, wriggled through the rotting flesh.
A foul stench hit their faces!
“Pile of Corpses!”
Wu Sansheng’s face changed, his voice slightly panicked.
Panzi couldn’t help but shiver at the sight of those decaying corpses.
Da Kui directly “thumped” to the ground in fear, his whole body lacking any strength!
Wu Tianzhen’s face twitched, as if he was about to vomit.
Only Zhang Lin’s expression remained unchanged, standing at the bow of the boat, motionless.
At this moment.
Dilireba finally saw that Pile of Corpses!
The stench almost made her vomit on the spot!
She felt a surge of nausea in her stomach, her small face turned white, and she sat down on the ground, completely stunned!
So many corpses!
She finally understood what a Pile of Corpses meant!
