Chapter Twenty-Three: The Maniac

Looking at the "iron coffins" on both sides, I trembled and said, "Or, let's go back to ...... first"

"No, I can't. Mu Xuanqing and Xiao Ruyue said categorically at the same time.

"Why?" I stood up excitedly, "things are beyond my power, if you want to send you to death, I won't accompany you!"

"Stop!" Xiao Ruyue quickly ran over and grabbed my arm, "You can't go!"

"Why? I haven't lived enough!" I shouted, desperately trying to break free of her hand, but to my surprise, Xiao Ruyue's originally delicate hand was now tightly clamped around my arm like an iron tong, so that I couldn't break free at all.

"Do you remember what I asked you in the car that day?" Mu Xuanqing, who was originally silent, suddenly spoke, and said lightly, "Looking back now, I'm afraid it's a little late." ”

After listening to Mu Xuanqing's words, I was silent.

Yes, I brought it all on myself, I had a chance to turn back, but I gave it up on my own, what am I here for? Isn't it just to find out what is going on in the school? And now the truth is in the depths of the "iron tomb" corridor......

I stopped struggling, Xiao Ruyue looked at me deeply and let go of my arm.

I took a deep breath, glared at Mu Xuanqing and said, "Let's go, no matter what is in front of him, Lao Tzu fights!"

Mu Xuanqing smiled with satisfaction, turned around and made a "please" posture, and said in the tone of Peking Opera: "Hero, without further ado, let's go on the road." ”

Xiao Ruyue covered her mouth and snickered when she heard this, I gave him a fierce look, and the corners of my mouth couldn't help but raise slightly.

At this time, Mu Xuanqing put away his smiling face and said, "Okay, don't make trouble, I don't know what there is in front of me, but we only have two bullets left," Mu Xuanqing paused and handed me the dagger, "Be careful yourself." ”

I took the dagger and nodded solemnly.

"Alright, then let's move on, with you two following me. Mu Xuanqing said that, then turned around decisively and walked towards the depths of the corridor. Xiao Ruyue and I hurriedly followed him and marched towards the unknown.

We walked along the dark corridor, and the number of "iron tombs" on both sides continued to increase.

“0598、0599……”

I silently counted the numbers on the door in my heart, tightening the dagger in my hand.

After about 30 minutes of walking, the number next to it began to get bigger and bigger.

“1456、1457、1458…… 1499、1500。 The number on the iron gate finally stopped at 1,500, and there were 1,500 "iron tombs" here, in other words, there were 1,500 difficult monsters here!

Looking at the final Iron Gate 1500, I couldn't help but gasp: what the hell happened here, if these monsters were to escape......

I quickly shook my head vigorously, not daring to think further, and my gaze moved to the center of the hallway—another iron door.

However, this iron door looks much more ordinary, except for the difference between it and ordinary wooden doors.

Mu Xuanqing took the lead in walking to the iron door, carefully inspected it, and breathed a sigh of relief: "Fortunately, this door lock is old-fashioned, otherwise it would be really troublesome." ”

After that, Mu Xuanqing took the dagger in my hand, carefully inserted it into the crack of the door, and slashed it down hard, only to hear a small metal cracking sound, and then, Mu Xuanqing pulled it with his hand, and the door opened, and the three of us did not hesitate, and immediately walked towards the door. Somehow, however, I felt a little familiar here.

As soon as the three of us stepped into the iron gate, beams of light came from both sides, and we looked up in surprise - the source of the light was actually an ancient light bulb, some of which even flickered a little, emitting a dim glow.

The three of us turned off the flashlights and walked forward, carefully surveying the area behind the iron gate by the light - it was a brick passage, and there were no windows at either end of the passage, but I didn't feel the heat and humidity, but the gusty wind from the passage made my heart palpitate,

Wait a minute......

I was shocked: I finally knew why this place made me feel familiar, this place, I had dreamed of it!

I stopped, my heart was beating violently, Xiao Ruyue, who was walking next to me, looked at me suddenly opened her mouth wide, motionless, and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?

I quickly came back to my senses, shook my head again and again and said that it was okay, but my heart was turbulent: how could this be?

Xiao Ruyue looked at me suspiciously, looked around carefully, and after finding that there was nothing unusual, she said to Mu Xuanqing: "Brother Xuanqing, it's nothing, it may be that Xiao Luohe is a little nervous, let's continue walking." ”

Mu Xuanqing glanced at me again, I nodded at him, signaling that he was okay, he turned his head and continued to walk forward, and Xiao Ruyue and I also hurriedly followed.

It's all right, maybe it's just a coincidence, I consoled myself in my heart, and now we have come to the end of the passage—there is a fork at the end of the passage, but the fork is not deep, and with the help of the light of the passage, I can clearly see that at the end of the fork are two wooden doors.

Looking at the fork, Mu Xuanqing turned to look at us, and was just about to speak, I hurriedly said, "This time I will never agree to act separately, unless I am killed!"

Mu Xuanqing and Xiao Ruyue were made to laugh and cry by my reaction, Mu Xuanqing pursed his lips and said, "But it's more efficient to act separately, if you're afraid, let Xiaoyue accompany you......"

"No, we can read this first, and then look at that one, anyway, I don't agree to separate!" I said categorically.

At the same time, I thought to myself: If I encounter any monsters again, I don't believe that Xiao Ruyue and I can handle it.

Mu Xuanqing frowned when he saw that I was so unreasonable, and just as he was about to speak, Xiao Ruyue said: "Brother Xuanqing, let's not separate, in case there is really something powerful, we can take care of each other." ”

Mu Xuanqing saw that we both said this, so he sighed helplessly: "Okay, then let's go this way first, and you follow me." With that, he walked to the wooden door on the left. When we arrived at the door, Mu Xuanqing pushed open the wooden door without much effort, and we turned on the flashlight and walked towards the door.

Once inside, we waved our flashlights and looked around - it was a room of about 40 square meters, on the left side of the room there were two rows of huge iron boxes arranged horizontally, about five in each row, and on the right side of the room was a long table, the table was against the wall, and it was full of glassware, and in the middle of the room was something like a hospital bed, and by the furnishings here, I guess it was also a dissecting bed.

The three of us walked in the middle of the room and looked at the dissecting table—unlike the dissection room outside, it was surrounded by chains, presumably to hold someone in place...... At this time, a familiar feeling rose from the bottom of my heart, could it be that I had dreamed of it here?

Just as I was thinking, suddenly, there was a burst of laughter from the iron box on the left side of the room!

The laughter was hoarse, but it was clearly audible, especially in this empty room, and the horrible laughter was like a cat's claw, scratching my heart.

Xiao Ruyue and I screamed at the same time, and Mu Xuanqing immediately jumped in front of us, drew his pistol, and pointed it at the pile of iron boxes.

Accompanied by laughter, the iron box also made a "click" sound, and suddenly, with a loud "bang", the top iron box in the row slammed into the ground, and from the iron box, a figure crawled out, and the laughter came from the mouth of the figure!

Mu Xuanqing immediately raised his pistol, and just as he was about to pull the trigger, he heard Xiao Ruyue exclaim: "Wait! That person is still breathing!"

I was shocked: What? Still breathing? Is he still alive?

Just when Xiao Ruyue's words fell, I saw the figure stand up regardless of it, Mu Xuanqing hurriedly turned the flashlight, and at this time I saw the true face of the figure - it was a man close to 180, but he was very old, he was barefoot, wearing a tattered earthy yellow military uniform, his hair was gray and sparse, his face was full of wrinkles, the teeth in his mouth were almost rotten and gone, and there was a large string of disgusting saliva at the corners of his mouth!

He staggered towards us laughing loudly, his laughter mixed with a few words of Japanese, and his voice was like sandpaper polishing the walls, which felt very harsh.
