Book 1: Chapter 56
If the tomb chamber was flooded at that time and only the human skin boat was above water, then it was impossible to verify why the diver took off the shuikao at that time. Maybe it was so they could be more flexible when operating underwater.
But there was no denying that the leather figurines, shuikao, and thunder god statues in the tomb passage outside all had one thing in commonthey were hollow. And this hollowness made them especially suitable for hiding parasites.
But all the other leather figurines below didnt have any traces of entering the water and were well preserved, so this statement was just a speculation.
I used my phone to fiddle with the fragile shuikao and found that the dead things inside of it had completely rotted into cotton wool. They felt like some kind of coral bug. It was possible that some kind of parasite had been breeding here for a long time and filled up all the cavities.
After Fatty fiddled with it for a long time and found nothing, he turned his attention to the murals around him. "Don't worry about it too much. Lets finish things quickly and leave, Fatty said to me. When the candles burn out and our cell phones die later, well have to work in the dark."
In this fairyland, all the immortals were standing on boats at sea and had their ears turned towards the sky. There was an immortal boat in the sky that looked like the human skin boat, which all the immortals down below seemed to be listening to. Surprisingly, the murals seemed to show that the people on the immortal boat were also listening to the immortals down below.
As I was going over all the details carefully, I heard a sound and turned my head, thinking that Poker-Face was back. But when I looked, I saw that Fatty was putting on the shuikao we had left on the ground. His movements and state were very strange, just like an animal trying put its skin back on.
He wasnt using any protective measures at all as he touched the shuikao with his bare fingers.
"Fatty, are you crazy?!" I hissed at him. But by the time I ran over, he had already put his head in the shuikao. "What are you doing?!"
Fatty didn't listen to me at all as he continued trying to push the remaining half of his body into the shuikao.
