In the camp at night, no one spoke. With the crackling sound of firewood bursting, everyone stared at the things in front of them without saying a strange look, as if they had great attraction. However, in fact, the things in front of them were not something new, and everyone had been used to them in years of adventure life. It was only because of some special reasons that they became particularly noticeable. If you change the scene, you might not even look at them.

The thing in front of me was a corpse, a corpse wrapped in a black leather bag. The body had long rotted, and it emitted a pungent stench along with the bag wrapped around the body. Anyone who got closer would be so stinking that he could not even open his eyes.

The body was not surprisingly found by Panis, but not in the water, but on the shore of the lake near the water. In the evening when the girls were building their camp, Panis and Deely collaborated to search the bottom of the lake near the wreckage, but found no useful clues. They harvested a lot of debris such as broken crystal bottles and rusty nails, but they were not used for it.

However, when he was getting ashore from the lake, Panis seemed to have discovered something. As soon as he got ashore, he quickly ran to a narrow-leaved tree on the shore and quickly wiped it with both hands at the trunk of the narrow-leaved tree near the soil. Soon, the soil firmly attached to the trunk was wiped clean, but the soil was covered with not the rough bark, but the smooth trunk exposed after the bark was peeled. There were a few lines of words on the trunk, but it could not be identified due to the age.

Seeing this scene, the girls also realized something, and their expressions became solemn. Catherine took out a shovel from her backpack and threw it over. Panis waved the metal shovel. After more than ten seconds, a black foot appeared under the soil. While the black leather was dug out, a stench spread in the air. Everyone knew this stench was obviously the stench of the rotten corpse. Apart from this, there was no other stench, which was more lethal than it.

"Why didn't the corpse before have such a heavy smell?" Everyone surrounded it in the middle as if they were afraid that the corpse would run away. Staring at it with bright eyes, Lina covered her nose and frowned: "The smell is so choking."

"Because the last time the corpse was buried directly in the soil." Catherine held her breath and tore the black leather bag completely, and the corpse inside was exposed directly. The stench of corpse in the air immediately became even more frightening. However, everyone still forced themselves to surround the corpse, with a faint worry in their expressions. The knight girl bit her lips and said, "Are they in trouble?"

"Pennis, according to the records, there should be no physical attack in this forbidden area of ​​creatures." Vivian also brought gloves and poked it close to the corpse: "But this fatal injury is obviously caused by physical attacks."

"Hey, Vivian, you idiot." Lina poked Vivian's waist and said dissatisfiedly in the girl's protest: "I actually secretly drank the breath-holding potion, deliberately letting us be smelled of the stinky corpse, and you have learned bad things too."

"Stop making trouble, be serious in front of the dead." Catherine glared at the two girls with laughter and cry, ignoring the two of them who were secretly smirking, and said to herself: "His head should have been cut off, otherwise this state would never fall off naturally."

Indeed, this corpse is different from the corpse of the soldier I saw before. Perhaps because of the body bag, the corpse did not completely rot. Half-length hair was stuck behind the head, and the brown and black rotten skin was tightly attached to the bones. There were yellow-green mucus hanging on some parts of the skin, and when the fingers touched it, it would seep out from the withered skin. However, this is not the key. The key is that the head of the corpse is separated from the body, and there are smooth cutting marks on the cervical vertebrae, which is obviously cut off the neck.

"He should have been killed by his own people." Panis did not touch the body, but just stroked his chin and said, "I have checked the broken neck bone. Only by consciously chopping and slashing with sharp weapons can this trace be caused."

"Why is this happening?" Catherine asked in confusion: "This is a team carefully selected by her grandfather and former president. In theory, there should not be internal discord, and internal strife will lead to internal strife."

"This is not an internal strife. It is not an internal discord." Panis looked very serious and said seriously: "In some cases, I will cut off the heads of one or a few of you without hesitation."

"You mean, he was assimilated by a twisted soul?" Catherine was not dissatisfied or surprised by Panis's words: "But didn't you say that if the soul is assimilated by a twisted soul, even ** will be twisted into an illusion without substance? It's useless to cut off the head. No, it shouldn't be able to cut off the head at that time."

"I will cut it before anyone is about to be twisted and assimilated." Panis said very seriously, and his voice was so serious that it made people feel panicked: "This is a very serious problem. Once it is twisted and assimilated, it will have to endure eternal pain, madness and despair for millions of years, and it will never be liberated. No creature can tolerate being twisted and assimilated. Therefore, when it is entangled by the twisted soul and cannot be saved, killing him in advance is the only choice to liberation for him."

Panis's words made the girls lose their laughter and remained silent and didn't know what to think. Deely knew about this for a long time and said without any mind: "He was right. All those who entered this area took risks with their lives. Once they were twisted, they would never have a chance to escape. So committing suicide or teammates helping suicide before the verge of twisting is a default rule. Not only you, but me, and whoever was twisted is treated the same. Well, but how do you calculate now? Will you still be eroded by the twisted soul? Theoretically, you are immortal, probably won't."

"I don't know, it will still be disturbed, but it's hard to say whether it will be twisted." Panis shrugged and said, "I don't want to test this kind of thing. It's too stupid. Why don't you try it? Isn't your soul different?"

"Get out, I still want to go home." Deely roared: "Who will be responsible if the test fails."

"So I can't answer your question, either." Panis spread his hands and said scoundrelly: "There is only the verification of waiting time."

"Okay, I understand." Although the two of them deliberately soothe the atmosphere, the girls still felt a real psychological pressure. The Knight girl exhaled heavily and nodded, "What you said makes sense. Instead of being trapped here, twisted little by little, lost herself little by little, and finally turned into some simple symbolic lines or shadows, it is better to die in the hands of a friend before being twisted. However, in this way, the deceased is relieved, but the friend who killed him has to bear the pressure of self-blame. I guess I will not be relieved in my life. Huh, killing my teammates with my own hands, I dare not imagine the inner pain."

The girls did not notice that when Catherine said these words, Panis's eyes became very subtle, and the muscles in his body were tense tightly, so he could barely suppress the tremor of his fingers. Perhaps, except himself and Flar, no one knew what kind of mental preparation he had made, and no one knew what kind of awareness he was holding onto this expedition.

The girls didn't think of this, so they surrounded the stinky corpse. Lina pointed to the corpse and said, "So the one who killed him will leave these exact same pair of rings as a memory?"

On the left hand of the corpse, there was also a pair of golden rings, one on the fingers of the corpse, and the other was held in the palm of the hand by the corpse. Because the corpse was severely rotten, some of the hand bones had fallen off, so the ring was also exposed to everyone's sight. It can be seen that the two rings were almost the same in style to texture, except for different sizes.

"This is..." Catherine smiled bitterly, closed her eyes weakly and sighed: "This is a wedding ring."

"Does the husband have to kill his wife with his own hands?" Freya's eyes shone with water. No matter how disguised her appearance, the princess's heart was still slender and soft. What she was most afraid of was such a tragedy. The girl wiped the corners of her eyes and sucked her nose and said, "That's why he left his own ring. Will the ring replace him with his eternal guardian of his wife? Poor, he can't even bring his wife's body home, he can only leave her in this dangerous world."

"Cough cough." Panis suddenly coughed dryly, and at this time he seemed to have completely returned to normal from his previous excitement. He said lazily: "In fact, there is another explanation for leaving the ring. Maybe when my husband left the ring, he was thinking in his heart that he finally had a chance to get rid of you. Now I am free, wine, carnival, and fresh **, Oh, beautiful girls, waiting for me, I can finally come to find you, hahahaha... Hey, I just said a possibility, what are you going to do, why Eva even opened your eyes, oh, are you going to kill me? Dilly help me, they are crazy."

"Damn it's mentally retarded." Dilly couldn't even raise his head, and whispered with his eyes closed: "I'm too lazy to talk to an idiot."

"Huhu, I'm so exhausted." After a routine pursuit every day, the girls threw the grieving Panis aside and returned to the corpse, but found that they could no longer find the previously suppressed and sad atmosphere. The knight girl gave Panis a smile and took off the two rings on the corpse's hand: "We will take this away too. If we have the opportunity to return to the capital alive, we will find out the identity of the couple and bury the ring, so that their souls can reunite in their hometown."
