A middle-aged man came to the door of a quaint villa, he paused, thinking: I should come or can't hide, so I rang the doorbell, and the housekeeper in the villa heard the doorbell, and hurriedly walked out, saying while opening the door: "Our lord has been waiting for you for a long time." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"

The middle-aged man's facial expression was tense, and he followed the housekeeper into the villa.

The villa is an old old-fashioned big house from the outside, only to find that there is a hole in it when you come in, the decoration is very elegant, gorgeous and magnificent, the middle-aged man is a little surprised, I can't imagine that his business has reached this level over the years.

The housekeeper said again: "The master is in the study, please here." ”

They went up to the third floor of the villa, and stopped in front of a room at the end of the corridor, and the butler knocked on the door, and said to the door, "Master, he is here." ”

The butler opened the heavy mahogany door, the middle-aged man walked in, and the butler closed the mahogany door outside the door.

The room is very large, there is no light on inside, the curtains are half closed, the room is dark, and there is a flag man sitting in front of the large desk inside.

The middle-aged man spoke first: "I can't imagine that after so many years, your habit of being afraid of light has not changed." ”

The old man got up and walked over, looked at the middle-aged man's face, and said: "It's been 30 years, and you haven't changed at all, whether it's your appearance or your old and spicy personality," his old face squeezed out a smile, and said, "We finally meet again, old friends." ”

Hearing this, the middle-aged man recalled a very bad past, and his face was ugly.

There was a row of very large bookcases in the room, almost all of them were full of things, mainly very old books, as well as ancient books with broken bamboo scrolls, and the middle-aged man suddenly saw something on the bookcase, which was a small pot of plants, and the top of the plant had a bright red flower, red as fire, and the shape was also very strange, and there were many red hairs standing up at the top.

The middle-aged man sighed in his heart, pretended to be calm, walked over, stared at the pot of flowers, and thought: It can't be wrong, he is indeed a butterfly fan. He asked the flag man, "Where did you get it?"

The old man said: "Why do you knowingly ask?"

The middle-aged man's tense face smiled reluctantly, and said, "You finally went there." ”

The old man said: "I am old, I don't have the physical strength to go down there, it was a team of people under my command who went in, but..." he paused, "A total of 12 people went in, all of them were elites in this area, and only one person came out of there." ”

The middle-aged man asked, "Everything else is dead?"

The old man said, "I don't know. It's a terrible situation, that's why I have to ask you to come and see the only one who came back?"

The middle-aged man nodded.

The old man said: "But his situation is very bad, you have to be a little mentally prepared." ”

They came to the basement of the villa, pushed open the door of the basement, a sour smell of rot came to the nostrils, the middle-aged man frowned, and saw that on a white operating table inside, there was a blood-red person lying inside, who was twitching slightly in pain, and there was a man in a white coat who looked like a doctor standing next to him, looked at the middle-aged man with a serious face, and then said respectfully to the old man of the bannerman: "Master, I have been controlling it with a strong needle, but there is no way, he is dying." ”

The middle-aged man approached the operating table and saw the person on the bed, a feeling of nausea came up, his whole body was ****, all the skin on his body had melted, some places had begun to rot, and the pus-draining wound was still sticking to some cotton wool-like substance, which should be the remnants of the fabric of the clothes. But even so, he was still alive, his whole body was unable to move except for convulsions, and he looked at the middle-aged man with his eyes open.

The old man of the banner man had an ugly face, and said: "He crawled out of a crack in the stone of that mountain forest, and used a signal flare to inform the people outside, and when he was found, he was already like this, and the other 11 people never came out again." ”

The middle-aged man looked solemn, picked up a medical hammer next to the bed and gently pressed the person's shoulder, and the pressure site immediately sank deeply, as if a bloody sponge could be pressed to the end, and a lot of fishy blood flowed out of the skin and flesh at the squeeze place, but the person didn't seem to feel any pain, and looked at him without reaction.

The middle-aged man shook his head and said, "As I expected, the bones have softened. It seems that what is written in the ancient books is true, and there is indeed such a thing in that place. ”

The man on the bed suddenly opened his eyes and twitched violently, and his mouth made a gurgling sound, and everyone was startled, and the man shouted as hard as he could, as if to say, "Ghost, ghost..."

The old man of the flag man gave the doctor in the white coat a look, and the doctor immediately gave the man an injection, and he passed out.

The old man said, "Let's go out and talk." ”

The two went back to the study.

The old man suddenly said in a strange tone: "The grievances of 30 years ago, we have written them off, and from now on, we are our own people." ”

A glimmer of light flashed in the middle-aged man's eyes, but he quickly looked at him suspiciously, and said, "What happened back then, the patriarch did such a great job, why do you think that I will definitely stand with you now." ”

The old man stretched out his right hand with a missing index finger and said, "My hand was scrapped by him, but now, I am still prosperous." ”

The middle-aged man nodded with an ugly face and said, "You are very successful, his time has passed." ”

The old man laughed, and he paused: "You used to work hard for him, but in essence, the grievances are not with you and me." Your craftsmanship is one of the best in China, and it's a pity to be incognito in that shabby shop now. However, the patriarch had too many feuds back then, and no one in the circle dared to tolerate you, of course, except for me, so I believe you will not refuse me. ”

The middle-aged man raised his head, looked at him and said, "Thank you for thinking so." It's a pity that he didn't choose you back then, otherwise things would have been much easier over the years. ”

The old man nodded with satisfaction, and said with a smile: "Since you are your own person, you don't talk around the corner, you have been unwilling to let your family fall like this all these years, there are things you want in that place, so you will be interested in this," he took out a voice recorder from his pocket of his clothes, and said: "After that person came back, he said some strange things, and there are some things that you can understand here, I hope it will be useful to you." ”

The middle-aged man took the recorder and pressed the play button with a little trembling hand:

At the beginning, it was "Ah... Wow", the middle-aged man frowned, decided to listen patiently, and screamed intermittently for more than two minutes, hearing him gasp and say: "That place is extremely dangerous, we walked separately inside, they went into that tomb, we walked on another road, there are that kind of bugs everywhere... Our people died one after another," and then there was a long silence and non-stop gasps, and for more than half a minute, I heard a very frightened voice: "I'm the only one left, I'm annoyed by **, I have drawn out an indescribable thing in the tomb, I can't see it, but I can feel it, it's alive, it's always following me, I don't know if it's a hallucination, I've been hearing some strange sounds... Something happened, the original entrance has collapsed, and I... If I continue like this, I will definitely die here, and I must use extreme methods to get out...", followed by a trembling voice: "A deep crack suddenly appeared out of thin air in the tombway, like a big black mouth, and something stuck out of it, and at once it caught me and dragged me in..."

The middle-aged man took the recorder and fell into deep thought.

The old man of the flag man interrupted his train of thought with a smile, handed him a mobile phone, and said, "In the future, we will only use this mobile phone to contact us, and it has my private number in it." I have modified the mobile phone, the machine and the number are the only match, the number card will be scrapped as soon as it is taken out, this mobile phone can only call my private number in it, and I can't connect to other numbers," he paused, and said: "This kind of one-to-one mobile phone is designed by me to spend a lot of money to find someone, specifically to contact important people on the road, which shows that I treat you as my own person, and the cooperation between the two of us, I don't want to be known by people on the rivers and lakes." ”

The middle-aged man took the phone and smiled inscrutablely.
