Chapter 1071 Coffin (Two in one, please subscribe!!!)

It was a huge, black thing, hidden under the floor. It was really hard to guess. Even if one used all one's imagination, it was hard to guess what old man Vincent would hide so mysteriously.

"Is it a tombstone?" Lu Mingfei asked tentatively. It might not be a tombstone, but it could be a stele with some words engraved on it that carried ancient secrets. Lu Mingfei had encountered this in some ruins.

"Very close." Chu Tianjiao nodded, and without keeping anyone in suspense, he revealed the secret, "It's a coffin."

As soon as he finished speaking, a look of disgust flashed across the faces of Nuonuo, Susie and Jiude Aki, and the temperature in the room seemed to drop a few degrees.

Old man Vincent was so incredible that he could put a coffin, a thing for holding dead people, under the floor of his room. Even if it was not for good luck, only the absurdists in ancient Egypt and medieval Europe who believed in mummies and that eating mummies could prolong life could do such a heinous thing.

"In that coffin?" Even Chu Zihang couldn't help but frown when he mentioned this.

"Yes, you guessed right." Chu Tianjiao nodded and said in a deep voice, "I can't tell what the coffin is made of. It looks like black sunken wood, but it has a metallic luster and looks very sturdy. There are golden candlesticks at the four corners of the coffin, with white candles on them. In the center is a black giant beetle specimen, about the size of an adult man's palm."

"Golden scarab." Chu Zihang whispered, "In ancient Egyptian culture, it is a sacred object that symbolizes 'resurrection' and 'eternal life'."

"Yes, I looked carefully. The black cover of the coffin is engraved with the name of the sun god. The layout of the entire coffin looks like some kind of ritual item for sacrifice. I can only say that old guy Vincent believes in everything in order to revive their leader. It seems that he is desperate and is trying all kinds of methods." Chu Tianjiao said, "I looked at this almost crazy old guy. He stroked the cover of the coffin with his hands. His eyes were red and full of tears. His lips could not help but tremble, as if the person lying in the coffin was his beloved wife who had died many years ago."

"The old guy won't open the coffin in front of you, right?" Lu Mingfei asked Chu Tianjiao.

"You really guessed it right." Chu Tianjiao held his forehead with his hand. "Ever since I showed my ability to the old guy, he seems to have completely trusted me, but he is not even sure of my position. He tried to push open the coffin lid in front of me, but he was too old and couldn't move such a heavy object at all. So he called Sasha and the others over. The soldiers put on masks and sterile gloves, and came to the four corners of the coffin in a battle-ready manner. A few burly men slowly lifted the lid with great effort."

Caesar, Chu Zihang and Lu Mingfei all had serious looks in their eyes. For boys of their age, strange stories about certain celebrities in history were definitely quite attractive, so they were all very curious about what was in the coffin. Even Nuo Nuo's eyes were moving slowly, as if she was using her profiling ability to infer some guesses.

"It was a slightly decayed corpse, lying quietly in the coffin. The bottom of the coffin was covered with a pure white, soft Persian carpet, which was embroidered with the '卐' symbol." Chu Tianjiao drew in the air with his finger for everyone to see, and then he slowly said, "'Adolf Hitler', a gold-plated nameplate was attached to the side of the inner board of the coffin next to the corpse."

"The Inner Guard swastika, this symbol is composed of the German word 'Schutzstaffel', which is the abbreviation of the Inner Guard SS, and then converted into two lightning-shaped letters 'S'. This right-handed 'swastika' pattern tilted at 1920 degrees is called 'Hakenkreuz', which translates to 'hook cross'. It is often used in the flags, emblems and armbands of the Inner Guard Party. Xi Teli believed that the 'swastika' symbolized the mission of striving for the victory of the Aryans, so it was used as the emblem of the Inner Guard Party in . Some people also say that in German, the initials of 'state' and 'society' are both 'S', and the two initials overlapped to form the 'swastika' shape." Chu Zihang explained to everyone, "But the English on the nameplate is indeed the real name of the Inner Guard leader."

“You know, for me who saw that scene with my own eyes, there was one very unbelievable point.” Chu Tianjiao whispered, “The body lying in the coffin was not very decayed, even the skin and facial features were still there. The body was wrapped in grayish-white bandages, and I could vaguely see the bluish-gray skin. That shouldn’t be the color of a body that has been dead for nearly fifty years. The body was fresh... like it had just died less than a week ago.”

It was a bit disgusting to describe a corpse as "fresh", but the scene described by Chu Tianjiao was indeed a bit too weird. All signs indicated that it was indeed the corpse of Xi Te Li, the former leader of the Nei Zu Party. But according to historical records and the timeline at that time, if he was really dead, he must have died for at least forty years. How could a corpse of forty years be preserved so well? Did they use the ancient Egyptian mummification technology? But at least all the internal organs of the person would have to be emptied.

But according to Chu Tianjiao's description, this corpse was even more complete than the ancient Egyptian mummies.

But if Xi Te Li escaped from the German Chancellor's office and lived to be 70, 80 or even 90 years old in Argentina, Bolivia or even Antarctica, as those strange stories on the Internet say, then where did Vincent get the body of the Führer? It can't be that Xi Te Li himself or his descendants gave it to him personally, right?

In short, no matter from which angle you look at it, this old guy either really has some kind of deep relationship with the former leader of the inner party, or he is simply insane. The so-called "empire", "plan", "rebirth" and other things are all his imagination. This corpse is also an unknown corpse that was got from somewhere. He deceived everyone and deceived himself into it, sailing in the cold Arctic Circle for ten years... But can a madman who is crazy to this extent really do this?
"I stared at the body for a long time, but unfortunately, I am neither a historian nor a forensic doctor, and I have never seen Xi Teli himself, so I have no way to judge whether the body is the former head of state." Chu Tianjiao said, "But Vincent patted his chest and assured me that the person lying in the coffin must be the head of state. He guaranteed it with his faith."

"His beliefs?" Chu Zihang repeated the word.

"I don't know if you remember, when I talked about my first meeting with Vincent, I described what he was wearing." Chu Tianjiao reminded everyone. "Military uniform." Nuo Nuo whispered, "I remember you said that when Vincent turned around from his chair, he was wearing a green military uniform."

"Yes, that old guy is actually an out-and-out member of the inner pawns, or a remnant of the gang. He once lived in Germany and served in the army when he was young. He even got the highest position he could get, that of an officer!" Chu Tianjiao spat fiercely. "These are exactly what the old guy told me. He turned up his collar, and there was a collar badge with a '卐' mark embroidered on it. He turned over his shoulders to reveal two golden epaulettes with red borders. The base of the epaulettes was decorated with a thin red bar and three star emblems!"

“Captain!” Even Lu Mingfei was surprised. “This old guy was actually an army captain when he was young!”

"The old guy put on an officer's cap with an eagle and skull emblem on it, and he wore black high leather boots with his cuffs turned up in a standard salute position." Chu Tianjiao said in an unnatural tone, "In front of me, he actually gave a standard inner soldier salute to the corpse in the coffin, and then bowed deeply. He could hardly stand steadily, but he still kept shouting 'Your Excellency' 'Your Excellency' at the top of his lungs. That picture was creepy no matter how you looked at it."

An old man, whose half body was buried in the earth and almost looked like a mummy, saluted and bowed to a real corpse wrapped in bandages... When this picture appeared in the minds of the people in the room, they all shuddered deeply at the same time.

"So his name has never appeared on the Forbes rich list, and you can't investigate this person's past because he used a pseudonym from beginning to end." Chu Zihang said with sudden enlightenment, "His real identity is an extremely fanatical inner soldier, but the inner soldier has disappeared, and he can't show his real identity to others, so he forged his own name and hid his origins. Vincent living in this world is a fictional person."

"That's right. His real name is not Vincent von Ludwig, but Vincent von Andreas. Andreas is his real last name. He is a pure German." Chu Tianjiao said, "After the end of World War II, many remnants of the Neizu fled to Argentina, far away from the European continent. That area did not participate in the war, so the rumor that Xi Teli also fled there is not groundless, because Vincent lived there for many years until the world had forgotten about it. He returned to Germany eighteen years ago."

"And he has been living in the Arctic Circle all these years? Looking for a way to resurrect their leader?" Caesar whispered, "Like a ghost haunting Germany."

"I was curious about where this body in the coffin came from. Vincent was silent for a long time and told me that he found it in Antarctica." Chu Tianjiao said.

"Antarctica?" Everyone's eyes widened. Lu Mingfei said, "So those rumors are true? Xi Te Li really didn't die in Germany, but fled to Antarctica?"

"Yes, Vincent said that he not only found the body in Antarctica, but also found the underground base camp built by the Neizu party. But when he got there, there was no living person in the huge underground space." Chu Tianjiao nodded and said, "Fortunately, no one was running the power system, and the temperature there was low enough, so the body hardly rotted. Vincent finally found Xi Te's body and brought it out from there."

"That's not right." Lu Mingfei said, "Shouldn't Vincent stay in Antarctica? Why would he bring the dead Xiteba into the Arctic Circle?"

"I've said it before. It's not the South Pole, but the North Pole. These are Xi Te's original words." Chu Tianjiao looked at the bewildered expressions of the crowd and explained, "What Vincent found at the Antarctic base camp were not only dead bodies, but also Xi Te's legacy and relics. He relied on these legacies to become one of the richest people in Argentina at the time. In those relics, Vincent discovered Xi Te's plan. It turned out that Nei Zu's research direction was wrong from the beginning. The method of 'immortality' has been hidden in a certain polar region, actually the North Pole, but they went to the South Pole, and only realized this when Xi Te was about to die. He wrote down his ideas and plans in writing. A blizzard not long after took away almost all the lives of Nei Zu at the Antarctic base camp."

"So this is the truth of history." Caesar also sighed, "So Vincent inherited Xiteri's plan?"

"Yes, including Xi Te Li's will, because Vincent doesn't want immortality, he just wants to revive the great man he believes in, so he used Xi Te Li's legacy to buy the 'Yamal', and according to Xi Te Li's plan, he searched for the secret of 'immortality' in the Arctic Circle." Chu Tianjiao said, "Vincent also confessed to me that he had actually gone bankrupt a long time ago. Even if Xi Te Li left a lot of legacy, his annual expenses were an astronomical figure. Over the years, he just lived off his savings, so he used this not-so-shady method to win money from some wealthy gamblers. He couldn't pay me the 1 billion he owed me. If I could do one thing for him, he would be willing to give me the entire 'Yamal' and everything on the ship, including the crew and servants."

"Could it be that the old guy wants you to help resurrect his leader?" Lu Mingfei asked tentatively.

"Yes, he knelt on the ground and begged me, hugged my legs, tears streaming down his face, and said that as long as I could resurrect his leader for him, he would give me everything." Chu Tianjiao held his forehead and said, "Vincent explained his plan to me. They will build a brand new empire, and I will be the greatest founding hero of the new empire. I will share the whole world with the founder of the Third Reich, the savior of Germany, the successor of Atlantis, and the greatest man in the history of the world."

“Isn’t he just talking nonsense?” Lu Mingfei rolled his eyes. “Brainwashing is a more accurate description. It’s the tone often used by leaders of pyramid schemes.”

"I'm not interested in these at all, but I'm quite interested in what Xi Te Li left behind. I mean the secret about 'eternal life'." Chu Tianjiao whispered, "I know this secret must be related to the dragon race. I didn't agree or refuse, but just asked Vincent calmly how he planned to resurrect his leader."
