Chapter 96 (1/2)

On the soft soil, Seven crouched next to a corpse, touching the dead man’s arm He felt scriptures on that man’s arm; they were like some kind of birthmarks It eird because they were not tattoos, for no tattoo could be felt so distinctly like veins; but if they really were birtherBuddha What kind of true God could have scriptures as birthmarks?

However, these lines see so et instantly, as if the truth was hidden behind a piece of silk To Seven, such stuff hat drugs were to addicts; he was ith, Seven worked so out Such scriptures were not from modern tio At that time, Buddhism had just been introduced in, and hadn’t been translated into the language that ordinary Han people could read Therefore, it was rather primitive And that hy Seven, as educated with Buddhism in Central Plains, felt so unfamiliar with these lines

Suddenly, it occurred to Seven that he had be indulging in his own thoughts for too long, and Su Bai and Gyatso were still waiting for him He was a little embarrassed He should copy these lines for further study, or just strip off the human skin; he wouldn’t mind

However, he suddenly realized that there was no one around Su Bai and Gyatso were gone, and he was the only one beside the corpse Then, those lines on the dead radually faded and finally disappeared

Seven took a deep breath and stood up

He realized that…

… he had stepped into a trap

On the dead wo like a totee animal that didn’t exist in reality at all; it was like a Taotie[1] or Pixiu[2] in ends, and was only mentioned in so at the tattoo It was interesting; must be drawn by a master Tibetan monk with his own spirit, because it carried a special aura

Gradually, while he was still watching the toteathered behind Gyatso, as if he was going to ride on black clouds into the air like the tattooed evil creature He was feeling and thinking

At last, Gyatso suddenly woke up fro this tattoo, but it must have been quite some time Why didn’t his partners remind him?

Because they were embarrassed to disturb him?

But they didn’t seem to be that nice

Gyatso raised his head and then his eyes glazed

What?

He was alone?

”First of all… Shall we check our team and make sure that no one is replaced already?”

Su Bai’s eyes were fixed on Gyatso and Seven

Seven nodded ”Yes, I agree”

But Gyatso asked, ”But aren’t weso?”

”It’s just to ht be stupid, or careless, or of low level, or far less capable than us; there are so many possibilities that can lead to their unawareness of the two changelings

”But, if we think about it in another way…

They may be not as smart as us, but they are not stupid as well; yet they failed to notice the changelings That , al, Su Bai atching the reaction fro special

”So how can we know?” Gyatso pointed to hi e can do?”

Su Bai shook his head ”It’s just my theory There should probably not be tooon the tea our capabilities, it’s difficult to replace us without being noticed If those things were really so powerful, they wouldn’t have to hide; we’d have been killed already”

”Agreed,” said Seven

Gyatso also nodded, ”Indeed”

”So… let go catch up with that team At least we already knohich tere replaced, so we can pick thes are exposed, theirto be afraid of”

The three of the at a much faster speed Soon, in front of them, there appeared another body

Gyatso closed his eyes and said, ”Just breathed his last”

Seven put his palether: ”Amitabh”

Su Bai stood there
