Volume 2: Jingzhao Suspicious Cloud Chapter 21 A Stormy Night (3)
"What if they can't find the secret passage I left behind?" Zhou Jinyu said with some worry, "After all, they are just two children who have not been deeply involved in the world, and they will inevitably panic when they suddenly encounter the red ghost worm corpse, if they let the red ghost worm corpse hurt the girl Inas, it will not hurt, but if it hurts Song Yuan, it will not be good...... After all, the Red Ghost Worm Corpse is not something you can control. ”
"It's true that we can't control the Red Ghost Worm Corpse, but have you ever wondered why this operation would make you come?" Jue looked at Zhou Jinyu with a meaningful smile.
Zhou Jinyu slapped his head, suddenly realized, and then said with some anger: "I said why those old crows are not active at all this time, every time they perform a task, they are full of energy, but this time they are cowering like a king, dare to love that this operation is a bureau they set up for me!"
"Song Yuan and Inas can only be regarded as delicious for the Red Ghost Worms, but you ......," Jue paused, "enough to be called peerless delicacies. ”
"Grandma's legged, this time I took out all my belongings and was not satisfied, so I had to force me to work hard," Zhou Jinyu scolded, "I said why did you draw my blood this morning, you didn't have a good heart in the first place!"
"After all, you're a newcomer, and if you want to gain a foothold in the organization, you always have to pay a price. "If this mission is successful, I guess you'll be able to beat the raven for the next transformation." ”
"Oh?" Zhou Jinyu heard this, his face gradually showed an excited look, and he licked his tongue, "Since that's the case, then we'll wait and see." ”
"Red Oni Worm Corpse...... What is that?" Song Yuan had not yet realized the seriousness of the situation.
"Red ghost worms are a kind of creatures that existed in the Mu continent 15,000 years ago, living in magma all year round, ancient books record that they can adapt to high temperatures of up to 2,000 degrees Celsius, and can remain for tens or even hundreds of years without eating, once they encounter a volcanic eruption, they will gush out of the ground, hunting all the creatures they see. Inas stared intently at the more and more Red Oni Worm Corpses that were coming through the window on the display, "And the Red Oni Worm's favorite thing to eat is the human brain." When they hunt for food, they will cling to the exposed skin of the human body, and stretch out their tentacles to pierce the skin tissue, and follow the blood vessels to the brain, at which point, the exposed part will be retracted into the blood vessels, until the red ghost squirms all enter the brain. When they eat away at their brains, they will take the human body as their shell and turn into a red ghost corpse. ”
"It sounds a bit like the people of a certain part of our country, but this red ghost worm likes to eat human brains, and they prefer pig brains to flower ......," Song Yuan teased.
"You don't seem to be nervous?" Inas turned her head, saying such nonsense at this time was either emboldened or ...... Big heart.
"Since there is a record of this thing in ancient books, there must be a solution. Song Yuan shrugged his shoulders, and he patted Inas on the shoulder, with an expression of "I believe you will be able to solve the crisis in front of you".
"If I say, I don't know how to deal with the Red Oni Worm ......."
"Then what should we do?" Song Yuan was completely petrified, he thought that since Inas could call this thing by name, there would definitely be a corresponding solution, but now Inas actually said that she couldn't help it, and judging from her expression, it didn't look like a joke, "You can't kneel on the ground and shout" Uncle, the villain's mind is empty, you still don't have to open your mouth. "Huh?"
There was an increasingly loud knock on the door, this villa was an old object, and the door was made of wood, even if it was made of good solid wood, it was only wood after all, and it wouldn't last long.
"Looking around, we watched Zhou Jinyu enter this room with our own eyes, since they escaped from our sight, then this must lead to another place. Inas quickly calmed down, and she looked around the room, hoping to find a mechanism to escape from the corners.
Song Yuan nodded hurriedly, he moved the table and the monitor to the door and blocked the door, the knocking sound outside the door made him feel numb, and he couldn't do anything about facing this room that he had emptied.
The wooden door creaked, and Inas saw that it was about to be broken by the red ghost wriggels, and Inas suddenly lowered her head, and when she had just walked through this place, there was something wrong with the footsteps coming from underground.
Inas crouched down and reached out and tapped it, the sound would be crisp if it was solid underneath, but here there was a dull drum-like sound.
Inas stood up and kicked it violently, and the wooden floor suddenly caved in, revealing a dark tunnel.
"Song Yuan, come here!" Inas turned around and shouted, at this time, the wooden door had been squeezed out of a space that could accommodate half a body, a red ghost worm corpse poked its head and opened its teeth and claws, and Song Yuan didn't know where to find a broom that was constantly slapping on the head of the red ghost worm corpse.
Song Yuan threw away the broom in response and followed Inas into the dark passage.
"The show has just begun. Jue squinted and watched the figures of Song Yuan and Inas disappear into the house, "After all, there is too much movement here, and it is the air-raid shelter left by Jingzhao decades ago, which is just right for us to do it." ”
"Let's go over now?" Zhou Jinyu asked.
Jue shook his head, "Have you heard the story of the cat and the mouse?"
"That cartoon?" Zhou Jinyu nodded, "I've seen the whole episode." ”
"Can you be serious?" "I mean when a cat hunts mice, it doesn't catch the rat and eat it, it keeps playing with the mouse, and it stimulates the mouse's desire to survive step by step, making the mouse feel that it can escape, and when the mouse's desire to survive is the strongest, the cat will choose to catch the mouse and eat him, do you know why?"
"So you mean that since Song Yuan is already in a catastrophe, then why don't we play with Song Yuan first and have some fun?" Zhou Jinyu said thoughtfully.
"Because when the rat is highly excited, the adrenaline rushes and stimulates the nerves and muscles, and that's when the meat is the most delicious!"
Song Yuan and Inas got out of the dark passage like two rats and came to an empty hole.
"It doesn't seem like a sewer here...... How should we go?" Song Yuan sniffed, there was no rancid smell in the air, but a faint fragrance, he untied the keychain pinned to his waist, and he was suddenly a little glad that the door installed in the hotel that Stuart arranged for them was not an electronic lock to open the door with a room card, but an ordinary door lock installed. And the hotel is worried that once the power goes out, it may not be able to find the keyhole, so it is specially equipped with a small flashlight.
"I don't know, I can't go back. ”
Inas raised her hand and applied several layers of water curtains to the dark passage, which should temporarily block those red ghost creeping corpses and buy them a certain amount of time.
"I feel like you're talking nonsense," Song Yuan shook his head, "We're definitely going to move forward!"
"You know that you still ask me if you go ahead?"
"It's a fork in the road, of course I want to ask you!" Song Yuan pointed to the front and scratched his head, "I've been a little lucky lately, and I heard that you women have a good sixth sense, so I'll leave the matter of choosing the road to you." ”
"It's a girl, not a woman. Inas emphasized, she looked at the fork in the road in front of her, closed her eyes and was silent for a while, then suddenly stretched out her hand and pointed, "Go this way!"
"So sure?" Song Yuan was suspicious, he looked at the two holes, and in his eyes there was no difference between the two holes.
"I can feel the faint sound of wind in this hole," said Inas, "and where there is wind, it will lead to the outside, and wherever it leads, we will be able to get out if we walk along this hole." ”
The two of them groped their way along the cave with the faint light of the flashlight, and there was only the sound of water dripping and Song Yuan's footsteps in the cave, and not even a mouse could be seen, Song Yuan felt that these mice probably couldn't find food here to move.
The water kept dripping from the roof of the cave, and Song Yuan used a flashlight to shine around, the rock wall was obviously excavated by hand, the walls were painted with the words "the most glorious labor", and there were several murals depicting the appearance of workers, it seemed that this should be an abandoned air-raid shelter.
Song Yuan had some understanding of these air-raid shelters, and in those years, when they were considering war preparedness, almost all major cities began to build underground air-raid shelters, especially Jingzhao. He had seen a news before, saying that Jingzhao's underground air-raid shelters extend in all directions, forming a large-scale underground prevention and control network under Jingzhao, and people can go from air-raid shelters to any direction of the city.
However, due to the expansion of the city and the construction of subway and other facilities, the air-raid shelter was gradually abandoned, and many passages were blocked, leaving countless sections of dozens of meters of tunnels as tourist attractions.
The roar echoed in the passage, and it seemed that those red ghost worm corpses had broken through the water curtain blockade of Inas, and Song Yuan and Inas couldn't help but speed up their pace, hoping to escape as soon as possible.
"How do I feel that they have installed radar positioning?" The roar got closer and closer, and Song Yuan turned his head, his eyes glowing with blood-red light getting closer and closer to them.
"It's the scent, these red ghost worm corpses are attracted by the scent," Inas frowned, "Have you noticed that the fragrance here is much stronger than when you were at the dark passage before?" he guessed that we would take this path, so he deliberately left a scent on this road to guide those red ghost worm corpses. ”
Inas stopped suddenly, "There's no need to run anymore. ”
"Why?" Song Yuan also stopped.
"Since he can guide these red ghost worms with his scent, he won't let us out!" Inas turned and stood still, "We've been in their trap since the beginning, if we could have run out of that villa before, maybe we would have had a chance, but now it's underground, and no one will notice even if we make a loud noise." ”
"But didn't you say there was ventilation here?" Song Yuan said, "maybe there's an exit ...... ahead."
"These winds are deliberately created by him, and the air in the cave is not circulating, and it is difficult for the fragrance to spread from here, so he will use the wind to spread these aromas. ”
Song Yuan looked at Inas in a daze, she was right, all this is under the control of others, since this is the case, there is no need to run again. It's better to fight, maybe there is still a glimmer of life.
"Damn!" Song Yuan swallowed his saliva and burst into a foul mouth, "Anyway, sooner or later, I'll die, fight with them!"
