Even through the rubber gloves, the fingertips touch the skin of the corpse and you can feel the low temperature between cold and cold.
Law opened the left eyelid of the female corpse and immediately put down his hand and looked at the right eye. When he lifted it, it was also a hollow eye socket.
The body is quite well preserved, but the eyes are missing. Will they be dug out, or there are no eyes since birth?
After all, there is almost no trace left by the digging of the eyes, it's more like the eyes disappeared out of thin air.
Jin reached out and pressed the skin of the female corpse. His heart was slightly condensed. The temperature of the body was very low, but the touch was not like that of a corpse. It was elastic and more like the touch of a living person.
He looked up at Law, who happened to look at him. After initial contact with the body, the two noticed the same thing.
"After death, muscle tone is lost, and the muscles of the whole body become loose and soft. This is the most important and first feature. The loose muscles are absolutely different from the living."
Law's eyes moved and fell on the female corpse again. He reached out and pressed his hand on the flat abdomen, then wiped it from left to right. When he raised his hand, the edge of his palm was covered with dust.
Not to mention muscle relaxation, except for the body temperature, there was no sign of late decomposition of the body.
Last time, he just looked at it from a distance and felt that it was strange that the body did not become a pile of bones. Now it is even stranger when he touches it up close.
"Look at the other bodies." Jin got up and looked up at the scattered bodies around.
"Okay."
Law nodded and stood up. At this moment, the female corpse was like a deflated balloon, flattening at a fast speed.
This sudden discovery made Luo Hejin's face change slightly. Almost at the same time, they gathered Qi in their eyes and used [Condense]. However, they did not see any Telekinesis, not even resentment.
In less than three seconds, the originally muscular corpse had turned into a bag of skin.
Law squatted down, pinched the corner of the bag, and slowly lifted it up. The animal skin clothes that were originally worn on the corpse, as well as some teeth jewelry, were scattered on the ground.
There were no muscles, no bones, no blood, just like a piece of skin that had just been peeled off.
Putting the skin gently on the ground, Law walked towards a middle-aged man's body nearby.
This male corpse had a strong build, and his bulging muscles were like pieces of rock.
Law reached out and pinched the muscles of the body to confirm that there was a skeletal structure in the body. Then he opened the eyelids of the body and there were no eyes.
King stood at the side, deep in thought.
"What do you think?" Law asked without turning his head.
"Illusion. What do you think?" Jin said.
Luo Weiwei shook her head and said, "It feels too real. It's hard to believe that it's an illusion. When the corpse changed, there were no fluctuations or signs of psychokinesis."
"It can't be explained using common sense and has nothing to do with Nianzhi. This place might really be related to the Darkness Continent." Jin also felt that this hypothesis was very weak, and a faint glow flickered in his eyes.
From King's words, it seemed that he had not completely accepted the theory that Void came from the Darkness Continent. After all, there was no concrete evidence.
"Xu is indeed from the Darkness Continent. I can guarantee that." Law got up and looked down at the middle-aged man's body. "But I don't know if Hollow has anything to do with these bodies."
As soon as his voice fell, the strong middle-aged man's body followed in the footsteps of the previous woman's body and turned into skin in just three seconds.
Law looked at the skin and after a moment of silence, he said, "I've confirmed that there are bones under the muscles."
Even if it was a super effective corpse dissolving water, it would dissolve the muscles and bones in three seconds, at least leaving traces, but except for a piece of skin, there was no liquid at all.
King did not speak and walked to another well-preserved body. Then he squatted down and opened the eyelids on both sides of the body. Then he let go and stood up, waiting for the result.
Law looked at King's actions and stood aside to watch.
After a while, the body whose eyelids were opened by King also turned into a piece of skin.
"Opening the eyelids is the key …" King said and walked to the next body. This time, he did not open the eyelids of the body, but touched the body with his hand for a while, then withdrew his hand and waited for the result.
Time passed little by little, and the body did not change, indicating that the judgment just now was not wrong.
If the body was a balloon with a tight mouthpiece, then opening the eyelids might be loosening the mouthpiece, causing the balloon to deflate instantly.
Although they knew that opening the eyelids would turn the body into a piece of skin, this discovery did not help the two of them in the slightest.
Why did the body have no eyes? Why did the eyelids turn into a piece of skin in a short time? Where did the muscles and bones go?
What kind of existence in the Darkness Continent was responsible for this phenomenon? Was it a disaster or a hope?
"Let's go inside and have a look." Law suggested.
There were at least ten thousand corpses here. I'm afraid that every corpse was the same. They had existed for many years, but they were still well-preserved, but they would turn into a piece of skin in an instant.
King gladly agreed. The two walked over the corpses all over the ground and walked toward the old site of the building.
The area here was very large. The layout of the building was square and quadrangular. The buildings on the periphery were almost in ruins. The buildings closer to the inside were better preserved. At least there was still a rough outline.
The place was too big. The two did not walk together but spread out in different directions. They first collected information and then met in the center of the ruins.
Law's direction was the left area. He first walked into the wreckage of a building with only one wall left.
The structure of the building wall was bricks piled up with stones mixed with mud. Some wooden materials could be seen in the wreckage scattered around.
From this, it could be seen that this settlement, which was active in an unknown era and ethnic situation, had relatively perfect architectural knowledge and skills.
Law rummaged through the wreckage all over the ground and found some daily necessities. They were basically carved out of stone or wood, such as some bowls, basins, and tables.
These things have a lot of archaeological value, including the clothes on the corpses outside, as well as some ornaments. If they were packed up and sold outside, it would be a huge income.
Law did not let go of any corner. When he saw something, he touched it with his hand. However, the writing in the white smoke was very quiet and did not give any corresponding information.
They walked through the wreckage of the buildings like this. Except for some graffiti on the stone carvings, there was nothing else.
Most of the stone carvings were depictions of what the humans in this settlement had seen and heard at that time. They were basically daily stone carvings without any words.
After walking around for more than half of the circle, Law went to the center of the settlement. When he got there, King was already there. He was looking at a building not far away that looked like a temple. It was relatively well-preserved.
"He's here."
