The impact of facing this woman Corpse was greater than Chen Xin imagined.

Although she did "die" here, her cloudy, wide-open eyes seemed to regain their vitality at any time.

The most frightening and puzzling question is why she appears here?

No wonder Wu Tiansheng is so calm, when he sees this Corpse through the crack in the door, his steps back will appear panicked.

This is indeed beyond their imagination.

Because everyone knew clearly that the couple in their memory was burned to death in the old house.

Taking a step back, even if the situation in front of us is caused by a certain Vengeful Ghost or Curse, this Corpse should not be in such a state.

She should be a charred corpse.

Chen Xin also had fear in his heart, but neither he nor Wu Tiansheng knew that fear would not help the current situation. He took a few deep breaths and tried to suppress the urge to turn around and run away. Instead, he walked towards Corpse and squatted down, reaching out and pressing her skin.

Then he turned to look at Wu Tiansheng and asked, "Mr. Wu, can you determine the approximate time of her death?"

This question not only reminded Wu Tiansheng, but also made him feel quite relieved. People are like this, panic will only cause greater panic, and a calm mood can also affect others.

But this question stumped Wu Tiansheng.

Although he is a professional Sports member and has a better understanding of the human body than the average person, when it comes to knowledge about Corpse changes after death and the estimation of the time of death, he is still very limited, not even half a bucket of water.

Chen Xin originally did not expect Wu Tiansheng to answer. He just hoped that Wu Tiansheng would not be frightened by this abnormal phenomenon. After all, she is just Corpse now.

"Mr. Wu, can you do me a favor?" Chen Xin asked.

"Okay, what do you want to do?" Wu Tiansheng regained his composure and asked.

Chen Xin looked at the Corpse of "Mom" and whispered, "We are not professional and cannot judge the time of death, but we can at least check her body for external injuries and speculate on the general cause of death. I just checked briefly and there were no scars on her front, so..."

Chen Xin looked at Wu Tiansheng and said earnestly, "I want you to turn her over and see if there are any wounds on her back."

"No problem."

Wu Tiansheng agreed.

This Corpse is not light. Judging from her bloated body, it weighs at least close to two hundred pounds.

But this weight is not a problem at all for Wu Tiansheng.

However, when he really came into contact with this Corpse and lifted her up to turn over, a very strange feeling suddenly appeared in his heart.

Chen Xin was keenly aware of Wu Tiansheng's brief emotional change and immediately asked, "What's wrong?"

Wu Tiansheng shook his head slightly, turned Corpse over, and replied, "It's nothing... it's just that she is lighter than I thought."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a "bang--" sound, and Corpse turned over and turned into a back-up position.

However, when they saw the appearance of Corpse's back, both of them almost vomited...

All the flesh on the female corpse's back, from the shoulder blades down to the lumbar vertebrae, was gone.

Spine Only large hollows were left on both sides, and all that could be seen were red and black residual tissue. There was no blood or the smell of blood.

No wonder she's lighter than expected...

Wu Tiansheng felt a little nauseous, and he couldn't help but mutter to himself, "Wasn't she burned to death? But why is this Corpse in this state..."

Chen Xin didn't answer for a while.

After a long time, he said, "Is it possible that all the images in our memory that we have seen are 'beautified' versions of real events?"

Chen Xin stated his guess word by word, stood in front of the frightening Corpse, and whispered, "Seven Children did kill the couple, but not with fire; they did lack food and clothing, but not in the city; some of them did get sick, but what they brought back were not steamed buns..."

"Together they weaved a memory that was fake and real, and they themselves believed it to be real..."

Wu Tiansheng Listening to his voice, I suddenly felt a little creepy.

The ghost did not appear, but Wu Tiansheng felt more terrifying than if the ghost suddenly appeared.

"Are you thinking too much?" Wu Tiansheng couldn't help but ask.

Chen Xin looked at him and asked, "There are seven of us Player, playing the role of Seven Children. The memory scenes we see are the same thing, only the perspective is different. Then why do we come to Snow Mountain?"

"Why did the previous [Plot Enactment] mention that they came to Snow Mountain twelve years ago?"

"What are they hiding in Snow Mountain?"

"Snow Mountain is the key, but there is no memory at all in the memory we saw, only a memory of Escape's past."

"Mr. Wu, do you think... could there be no cities at all?"

"There is no old yard with Outskirts..."

"Not even two couples..."

"They have been in Snow Mountain since Xu Yi... What we see are 'beautified' memories. Behind the actions and words in the memories, there is another layer of meaning..."

The more Chen Xin spoke, the brighter his eyes became. He didn't even notice that Wu Tiansheng was already a little incomprehensible.

What Wu Tiansheng is more concerned about is the current problem, so he asked aloud, "If the memories we see are the result of beautification, then... the couple were not burned to death. It can be explained that her Corpse did not appear as a charred corpse, but... how could her back look like this?"

Chen Xin heard this, lowered his head, thought for a while, and replied, "Two possibilities."

"One, maybe it's some kind of mysterious religion with a special Ritual that requires her to die like this."

"What about the second one?" Along the way, Wu Tiansheng didn't find anything related to religion in this Snow Mountain.

"Kill and take the flesh."

Chen Xin's voice gave Wu Tiansheng a chill in his heart.

In another place Wooden House.

The wind and snow outside are getting heavier and heavier.

[Abyss] Although everyone did not expect that he suddenly ran away with supplies, there was quite a lot of supplies in Wooden House that was subsequently found.

I can't tell if that guy running off alone relieved some of the burden for everyone.

Four people, Qin Manjiang, Xia Nan, Lin Ruonan, and Hu Feifei, checked Wooden House all over. Although it was a simple wooden structure house, it was no problem to protect it from the wind and snow. It even had a stove, which could boil water and make a fire.

What makes everyone feel at ease the most is the Flesh that has been hung on the wall and has been dried.

Hu Feifei has been coveting that piece of meat for a long time. At this moment, she was standing next to the air-dried Flesh. She got closer and sniffed:

"It smells so good! We can cut it into a piece and melt some snow water to make broth!"

Qin Manjiang nodded, continuing to think about the suspicious aspects of this Ghost Story, and did not object.

Lin Ruonan was checking the doors and windows to make sure that "Spider Woman" was not nearby.

"Okay, let's cook it now." She turned around and said.

Hu Feifei nodded happily, but found that Xia Nan was silent and his eyes were staring at the air-dried Flesh hanging on the wall.

"We... better not eat this piece of meat."

Xia Nan said, his tone extremely solemn.
