While Chen Mo was dissecting the corpse, he could hear the "last voice" of the deceased. Not listening with his ears, but with his hands. When he touches the petrous part of the temporal bone of the deceased, the deceased's last words will ring in his consciousness - not a complete sentence, but a few words that were carved into the bone at the moment of death and spoken with the last effort. Sometimes it's a name, sometimes it's a few words, sometimes it's a complete sentence. Each word is carved into the petrous part of the temporal bone by the last vibration of the deceased's vocal cords, and is sealed forever in the hardest bone of the human body. The petrous part of the temporal bone is the hardest part of the skull and protects the structure of the inner ear. The vibrations of the vocal cords are transmitted to the inner ear through the ossicular chain. At the moment of death, the last vibration will leave tiny cracks in the bones, sealing the sound there, like a bug sealed in amber. It won't go away for years.
