this is not a joke

Chapter 229 The Coffin in the Cargo Hold
Inside the aircraft cargo hold.

The headlights inside were not turned on, only the small green lights on the wall, similar to emergency lights, with limited light, and could only illuminate the surrounding area of ​​one or two meters.

In order to prevent the goods transported during the turbulence of the plane from moving, the bulky goods in this cargo hold are bound together and completely covered with rope nets, and the four legs of the rope nets are fixed on iron hooks on the floor to prevent The cargo collides due to sliding.

The small pieces of goods are packed in large wooden boxes, and are also preserved according to the above method.

There was no one in the cargo hold at the moment, only the roar of the plane that kept ringing.

After Xue Wanxing entered the cargo hold, he immediately locked the fixed large items, and then he took out a scimitar from his inventory. The scimitar was black as if it had been splashed with ink. A little light.

Then Xue Wanxing carefully pried open the closed cargo box with a machete, looked inside, and found nothing unusual along the way.

Not long after, Xue Wanxing smelled a faint strange smell. After careful identification, he found that it was a bit like formalin. The smell was very weak, but it should be nearby, in this cargo hold.

Xue Wanxing immediately searched for the place he hadn't been before, and when he reached the innermost corner, he found a huge gap between a large item and the corner.

Walking over to have a look, the place is pitch black, and you can't see anything, because there are no wall lights on.

He moved his nose, and quickly determined that the smell of formalin came from this corner, and the space here was enough to put a coffin inside.

"Could it be that the dead person in the coffin is still soaked in formalin?" Xue Wanxing was surprised and became more careful at the same time.

He checked that his mobile phone was still there, but the carry-on bag provided by the Liangcheng Administration for each investigator was gone. There was a small flashlight in it, which had been filtered out by the strange talk filtering mechanism, but the mobile phone had not been filtered out.

I tried to turn on the screen, and found that the screen of the mobile phone was still on, but I couldn't make a call, but I could use the flashlight function.

Turn on the flashlight and shine it into the dark corner, and saw a long wooden box just stuffed into this corner, leaving almost no other gaps around.

In this case, on the contrary, this place will become very stable during the flight of the plane, and there will not be too much shaking.

Xue Wanxing could vaguely see the extremely bright red surface of the coffin inside the wooden box, and even some of the golden symbols on the top of the coffin.

Now I have found the horror in the plane, and there are no elements that caused the horror, such as lizard blood, cockscomb head, bear children, etc.

Xue Wanxing was a little relieved, but his breathing stopped suddenly in the next second, and his eyes were fixed on the top of the long wooden box.

I saw a black mouse just jumped off the large cargo box next door and landed on the long wooden box.

The mouse was fat and big, but its movements were abnormal. It raised its head and sniffed around, as if looking for something to eat.

This scene made Xue Wanxing dare not even vent his breath. He slowly straightened up, changed the black scimitar in his left hand to his right, and at the same time lowered the light of the piezo torch, fearing that the mouse would climb into the long wooden box directly. inside.

Slowly, Xue Wanxing raised the scimitar in his hand, but his eyes were not completely in the direction of the black mouse, because Xue Wanxing knew very well that animals like mice have a strong sense of sensitivity, and they are not sensitive to human eyes or eyes. The sense of danger that he is about to be attacked is extremely acute.

As long as the movement is slightly larger, the mouse can sense it and respond in advance.

Not long after, Xue Wanxing no longer moved, but was locking the position. The next second, his right hand swung violently, and the pitch-black scimitar drew a slight arc in mid-air, and it was fastened to the long wooden box with a click. The middle part of the blade was cut into one of the wooden boards, and halfway through the flight of the machete, the black mouse had been cut in half, and the wound was so smooth that even blood did not flow out in time.

Xue Wanxing breathed a sigh of relief, climbed onto the strong long wooden box, grabbed the handle of the knife and took out the machete, then picked the tip of the knife, and picked the dead mouse that had already ooze blood to the ground.

He found the position where the iron nail was inserted into the wooden bar, inserted it with the blade of the machete, and then forcefully pried the handle of the knife, so that the iron nail was slowly pried out by him.

However, at a glance, there are at least dozens of iron nails around the long wooden box. If you want to open the wooden box, you need to pry off at least one-third of the iron nails.

So this is a very time-consuming project.

Xue Wanxing didn't stop. After prying off one iron nail, he immediately went to pry another one off, and kept watching the surroundings to prevent any key things that would cause the great terror from approaching here.

Just as he was prying more than a dozen iron nails, he suddenly heard soft footsteps. Xue Wanxing stopped immediately, held the scimitar in his hand, and leaned against the large cargo box next to him.

Not long after, a head came over from the place where he climbed up, and then Wei An's voice sounded: "Hey, is it Team Leader Xue? Why are you in the cargo hold?"

Xue Wanxing put the scimitar behind him, returned to his inventory in the next second, and said, "Of course I am here to investigate strange stories, Wei An, what are you doing down here? I don't want you to ignore it, passively and safely Is it okay to go through the ghost talk?"

"I think so too, but just now the captain asked me to come over and say that some kind of alarm on his side had been triggered." Wei An shrugged, his gaze was fixed on Xue Wanxing, and his expression was also very relaxed, as if he didn't There was nothing unusual about the long wooden box under Xue Wanxing's feet.

Wei An continued: "You also know that I am currently a flight attendant. If the captain makes arrangements, I must implement them. This is also my job."

Xue Wanxing did not dispel his doubts about Wei An, and said, "Nothing has been found here for the time being. You go back and tell the captain that everything is normal. If he doesn't believe it, take the dead mouse on the ground and say that the mouse may have touched something." .”

"Okay, I won't take the mouse." Wei An glanced at the dead mouse on the ground and waved his hand.

Turning around and taking two steps, he seemed to remember something, and said again: "Captain Xue, the blood of the lizard, the head of the cockscomb, and the weird photos were all found. Now it seems that you should have found the black mouse, but I don't know. Is this the only mouse..."

Before he finished his words, Xue Wanxing felt something crawling on the back of his feet. He looked down and found that it was another black mouse, slightly smaller than the one just now.

He kicked up immediately, and the mouse lying on the back of his foot flew up and hit the wall, and his body burst open immediately, showing how powerful his kick was.

But at the same time, Xue Wanxing heard the squeak of a mouse coming from under the long wooden box he was standing on, and it seemed that he had already got into the wooden box from below.

"Weian, come back and help!" Xue Wanxing called out immediately.

At the same time, he jumped out of the wooden box, took out the black scimitar, looked down, and saw that several mice had already got into the wooden box, biting at the vermilion coffin plank inside.

Not only that, but at the other end of the coffin, there was also the sound of gnawing on a wooden plank.
