"Ahh

Li Qing rolled on the ground, feeling as if his skull was about to explode. His consciousness was completely confused, and he only felt that there were thousands of rats squeaking in his ears, and after a while, he felt a sharp pain all over his body, as if the rats had covered himself in layers, pressing on his body, clattering and gnawing at his flesh and bones.

A black grip covered his cheek, ripped open his teeth, and inserted a tube into his mouth.

Li Qing struggled and roared, but his body seemed to be anesthetic, becoming more and more stiff and feelingless. Only a thick spicy taste spread in his mouth, like a sip of strong wine in his throat, choking Li Qingzhi coughed and couldn't help but shed tears.

"Captain, Captain, wake up!"

"Wake up, Captain!"

Li Qing blinked, and the thick feeling of dizziness dissipated out of thin air, replaced by a tearing pain all over his body.

He rolled over, nervously glancing around, no rats, no strange noises, just a familiar cheek.

"Master Deng?" Li Qing exclaimed in amazement, "Why are you here?"

"Are you awake?" Deng Shi breathed a sigh of relief, withdrew the hand that was holding Li Qing's body, and sat to the side with a disgraced face.

The pain in his body made the corners of Li Qing's mouth twitch fiercely, and he pressed the stone face with one hand, propping up his upper body and scanning the surroundings. The dozens of corpses were still lying quietly around, especially the one in front of him, with an intact abdomen, no internal organs rushing, and not a single hairy little mouse lying on it.

Li Qing raised his fist and knocked on his head: "Just now... What's going on here?"

"What else do you say..."Deng Shi rolled his eyes, and then frowned, "Your strength is so great, I can't hold it down at all, and you kicked and broke a rib." If you don't hide quickly, this little life will have to be planted in your hands. ”

Li Qing glanced at the beam vigilantly, raised his finger and pointed: "I just saw..."

"What you see is me. Deng Shi muttered angrily, and pulled out a dagger from his waist, "I squatted on the girder before, and I just called you, and I was stabbed like this." Luckily, you're delirious and a little off the mark, otherwise my head would have moved. ”

Opening his mouth, Li Qingzai carefully looked Deng Shi up and down, it was really difficult to connect the goods in front of him with the hairy big mouse.

"Don't you think there's something wrong here?" asked Master Deng suddenly.

Li Qing was slightly stunned, and then asked with a look of surprise: "You mean this smell in the air?"

"Hmm. Master Deng nodded, "There is something wrong with this fragrance, it can cause hallucinations." All these corpses on the ground were killed in this way. I deliberately stayed here to wait for you, just because I was afraid that you would fall into the way, and the result really made me right. ”

"I see..."Li Qing looked suddenly enlightened, "It was all my hallucination just now..."

"As he walked, he said that this place could not be left for long. Deng Shi patted his ass and stood up, walked not far away and picked up his backpack.

Li Qing gritted his teeth and endured the pain all over his body and got up: "What did you just give me to drink? Why is it so bitter?"

"Oh, it's this. Master Deng raised a small bottle in his hand and shook it, "Insecticide, a must-have for field marching, you should be familiar with it." ”

Li Qing's whole face turned green: "I'm familiar with it, but I'm not familiar enough to drink this thing? This thing is poisonous, it won't kill me." ”

"There's definitely toxicity, and I feel like my stomach is rebelling now. Deng Shi's face changed, "But it's better than being scared to death, right? Anyway, what did you just see? How could you be scared like that? It's the first time I've seen you like this, and it's a long experience." ”

Li Qing's face changed, and he silently followed Master Deng to the deeper part of the stone hall.

"You know what. Deng Shi said casually, "In this environment, human fears can be stimulated to the maximum, and what you see is often what you are most afraid of." In other words, hallucinations are also the source of your deepest fears. ”

"Mouse. Li Qing was silent for a while, and then suddenly spoke.

"Mouse?" Deng Shi raised his eyebrows slightly, turned around sharply and hit Li Qing's cheek with a flashlight.

As soon as he raised his hand to block the dazzling light, Li Qing said impatiently: "What are you doing." ”

"I'm sorry, but I just felt a little surprised. With a playful look on his cheeks, Master Deng removed the flashlight from Li Qing's face, and his voice was slightly low, "You haven't slaughtered anything yet, how can you be afraid of this little guy?"

Li Qing paused slightly, and said softly: "I told you before, when I was seventeen years old, I went to sea and encountered a storm, and I was rescued by the ancient head and thrown into the cabin, so that hundreds of us killed each other, and we were locked up in it for a month..."

"Oh, I see. ”

Sighing softly, Li Qing looked helpless: "In those days, I could hear the sound of rats gnawing corpses in the darkness every night. Sometimes in the middle of the night, while sleeping, a rat will get into the clothes. After that, I had nightmares for almost a year..."

Master Deng nodded: "That's right, I once heard a saying that human fear is not the most terrifying thing, but the most feared thing, which is probably what it means." ”

"You're good at summarizing. Li Qing pursed his lips, "What about you?"

"Huh, what am I?"

"Nonsense, I ask you what you see. ”

Deng Shi shook his head, and then chuckled: "I'm a little embarrassed, don't say it." ”

Li Qing looked suspicious: "Tell me, how did I find that you seem to be quite happy?"

Deng Shi grabbed the flashlight with his backhand and gestured in mid-air: "A pot." ”

"Huh?" Li Qing's eyes widened in astonishment, "What is this?"

"Hmm... A boiling pot. Deng Shi couldn't help but smile a little, "I saw my father and my mother." ”

Li Qing understood in an instant, and looked at Deng Shi's smiling cheeks again, and felt a trace of desolation for no reason: "You can laugh, it really makes people feel creepy." ”

Deng Shi came from a wealthy and famous family, but when he was five years old, his father's company was not doing well, and his friends framed him, and finally went bankrupt. At a young age, Deng Shi moved with his parents from a tall and luxurious villa to a low and dilapidated hut in the slums, and the family has lived an unusually hard life since then. The originally harmonious and beautiful family relationship has gradually evolved into a violent quarrel between the parents every day.

It was the afternoon of Deng Shi's sixth birthday, and his mother boiled a pot of hot water and promised Deng Shi to cook meat for him. For Master Deng, who hadn't tasted oil for a long time, it was really the most anticipated time of the year. He finished his first-grade homework and lay on his parents' bed, staring at the bubbles rising from the boiling water, licking his little lips from time to time.

The mother was about to put the pork in the pot when the drunken father slammed open the door and walked in. The mother complained that the father had nothing to do all day long, only knew how to drink, and did not care about the family at all. The two quarreled again, and even got into a scuffle in the end.

The father drank too much, and a wave of anger surged, and he grabbed his mother's head and pressed it into the pot...

The boiling water splashed on Xiao Dengshi's cheeks, and he rolled all over the bed in pain, crying and screaming, but his mother had already stuck her head in the pot and didn't move. The boiling water was still tumbling, and soon a thick aroma of meat was diffused, but this smell only made Xiao Deng Shi feel nauseous.

Later, Deng Shi's father was arrested for homicide, and committed suicide the day before the court pronounced the verdict. Six-year-old Deng Shi was sent to an orphanage, where he spent his entire childhood. Since then, Deng Shi has also maintained a vegetarian career for more than ten years, until the second year when he was brought into the first team by Li Qing, at a picnic banquet after the brothers completed their tasks, he finally broke his vows and began to eat meat.

So, when Master Deng hallucinated under the influence of the wonderful fragrance in the ancient building, he saw a pot, a boiling pot, and perhaps his mother's boiled face was still floating in the pot.

Most of the memories are cruel, and the wounds in the heart are bloody and will never heal. No matter what, Li Qing didn't plan to go any deeper on this topic.

"What time is it?" Li Qing suddenly asked.

"Oh, it's probably one o'clock in the morning. Deng Shi looked down at his watch, "Zhao Qili's group of people have been resting by the sinkhole for a long time, and it has been several hours since they came here, why did you arrive?"

"It's been a whole day?" Li Qing's face was a little funny, "I ran away after causing that mess in the underground river, who knew that I got lost in the stone path." By the way, what about that thing?"

Deng Shi shrugged his shoulders helplessly: "You failed, Zhao Qili used a gun to fly away a knife you thrown, and that thing didn't fall into the river." But we didn't get nothing, at least we knew what it was. ”

After a slight pause, Master Deng slowly spoke: "A golden silk nan wooden coffin." ”

"Is it really a coffin?"

"Well, there seems to be someone's body inside. Master Deng nodded slightly, "I think they plan to use the legend of the Immortal Ancient Mansion to resurrect the person in the coffin." These people are crazy..."

Zhao Qili seemed to be quite disdainful of this thought, but he had to listen to the words of the old guys in the team. Older people tend to be more stubborn in their thinking. Well, on the way here, you must have seen the person who was hung up by a hook through his stomach, right? That's also one of these old guys, they seem to be quite convinced of this kind of ghost theory, and they also hold the supreme leadership of Zhao Qili's team. ”
