Chapter 18: The Murderous Mansion (2)

I climbed out of my sleeping bag, let Shoko go to sleep, walked out of the house, stretched, moved my muscles, and felt much more awake. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

I sat on the steps outside the house, there was silence all around, there was not even the sound of insects, it is also said that there is a lack of food and water on the edge of this desert, and insects and animals are difficult to survive.

I looked up at the sky, and there were no stars or moon in the sky tonight, it seemed to be overcast, and it looked like it was going to rain. During the day, the sun is still shining and the sky is clear, but at night, why is it cloudy? I heard that Taklamakan has one of the lowest annual rainfall in the world, and it is still October, and the rainy season has passed, so why does it rain? Is this a portent?

I was thinking wildly, when suddenly a gust of wind blew, and it was very evil, and it blew very violently, and it blew all over the sand, and I hurriedly hid my head in my arms. I don't know what was scraped down, and there was a "bang".

Although the wind was fierce, it came and went quickly, and in just a moment, the tranquility was restored.

I raised my head, dusted off the sand on my body, and said to myself, how could there be a sudden gust of evil wind?

After the wind passed, it set off the deathly silence in the courtyard. I looked around, and it was pitch black, and the rooms around the courtyard were black, and the windows of the rooms were like a pair of black eyes. The courtyard was large, half the size of a football field, and in the silence of the night, the empty courtyard and the dark rooms around it looked particularly eerie. I thought to myself, thankfully, there were other people in the house, and if it was me, it would be a little scary.

I sat like this, probably for more than an hour, and there was still some time before I changed to the next shift, and before I knew it, sleepiness came back again. I dozed off and reminded myself not to fall asleep.

When I was confused, I subconsciously felt that there seemed to be some movement behind me, and in my vague consciousness, I suddenly remembered that there were unclean things in the house that Amei said during the day, and I couldn't help but shiver and wake up.

I jerked my head back. I found out that it was Ame standing behind me. I saw Amei holding the door frame with both hands, hiding her head in the door frame and secretly looking out, as if she was very scared.

"Amei, why don't you sleep?" I asked.

"I-I'm afraid." Ame replied.

"Afraid of what?" I stood up and took a step forward, and Amei hurriedly stepped back, and I remembered that Amei was afraid to get close to me.

But at this time, it didn't seem that Amei was more afraid of me, but something behind me. I saw Ah Mei pointing to the distance behind me, trembling and saying, "That thing." Here it comes. ”

I looked in the direction of Amei's finger and saw a strange scene: I saw a room in the southeast corner that was red with fire, as if it were on fire, but strangely there was neither fire nor smoke, just a red light. A moment later, a red object emerged from the wall of the room, the size of a basketball, glowing red.

The thing fluttered in the air. With fluttering, there is also a muffled sound. "Woo, woo", as if a woman was crying in a low voice.

The thing floated to another room, hovered in the air for a moment, and then slipped into it again, and the room immediately became fiery again.

And just like that, the red thing passed through the wall. After entering several rooms in a row, he finally floated to the top of the qanats in the middle of the courtyard, turned around, and got into the qanats at once, never coming out again.

I was stunned by this strange sight. It took me a long time to come back to my senses, and I said, "Damn, what the hell is that?" Could it be a ghost fire? No, ghost fires are formed by biological phosphorus, and they are all blue or green, and I have never heard of red ghost fires. Or a UFO? That's even more.

By the way, it occurred to me that it was ball lightning! I've heard that ball lightning is a mysterious natural phenomenon that comes and goes without a trace, can pass through walls, and even get into flying airplanes. Looking at the appearance of the red ball just now, it is very similar to the ball lightning described. It must be ball lightning.

"Amei, don't be afraid, it's just ball lightning, it's not something unclean, although ball lightning is rare, it's just a natural phenomenon......" I turned my head to Amei and said, but before I could finish speaking, I saw Amei seem to be even more frightened, hiding her head deep in the door frame, revealing only a pair of eyes, pointing behind me.

I hurriedly turned my head to look, and saw a man in the karez in the middle of the courtyard.

After the man came out of the qanaq, he slowly walked to the center of the courtyard, and stood there upright, motionless.

I'm stupid, how can there be people in this well? Who is this?

But just as I hesitated, something even stranger happened, and several people came out of the karez one after another, and like the previous person, these people slowly walked to the center of the courtyard and stood there motionless.

Because of the distance, it was dark and I couldn't see the facial features of these people clearly.

I hurriedly asked Ah Mei to wake everyone up, but Ah Mei was already standing there in fright, unable to move. I hurriedly ran into the house myself to wake everyone up.

When they woke everyone up and went to the door to look into the courtyard again, they saw that there were forty or fifty people who had been drilled out of the well, all standing upright in the middle of the courtyard.

", who are these people? Where did it come from? You don't have to come to the door in the middle of the night to worship my fat master. Chubby said while shining a flashlight, but it was too far away, and the flashlight was already very weak on those people, and he couldn't see what they looked like, but he felt that they were black and shiny.

These forty or fifty people stood motionless in the middle of the courtyard in the middle of the night, and the scene was very strange.

"Why are those people standing there still? Why don't we go over and say hello? Zhang Meng whispered.

"Okay, then you go over", Chubby said jokingly, and pushed Zhang Meng.

Zhang Meng hurriedly flashed aside, "Damn, you treat me as a fool, I won't go, what if it's a group fight, you have good skills, I'm going to go." ”

Before Zhang Meng and Xiaopang were finished, I saw that those people had moved, and they began to slowly walk towards us.

"He—they're coming." Zhang Meng said in horror. Everyone immediately became nervous.

These people walked very, very slowly, not so much as walking, moving, slowly approaching us.

Since they didn't know what the situation was, they couldn't think of how to deal with it for a while, so they could only respond to the changes with the same and see what these people wanted to do.

When these people walked very close to us, we could see the specific faces of these people through the flashlight. It's okay not to look at it, but when you look at it, everyone can't help but take a few steps back.

I saw that these people's bodies and heads were black, and the flesh on their bodies kept wriggling, and they fell to the ground from time to time.

With the movement of those "people", the locusts on those "people" fell to the ground in clusters, and after a while, a large area gathered, and some of the "people" had already fallen clean, leaving only Bai Sensen's skeleton spread on the ground. It turns out that these locusts are attached to the bones of corpses to form the appearance of people!

In just a moment's effort, all the locusts on the forty or fifty "people" fell to the ground, wriggling, rolling, and surging towards us like a tide.

"Damn, where did so many locusts come from? Close the door! Zhang Meng shouted.

"Where is the door to this house? Even if there is a door, they can't stop them, so you young people hurry over and stop them from letting them come! Uncle Hai retreated into the house as he spoke, and Lao Zhang helped Uncle Hai to retreat with him.

", Uncle Hai, what you said is light, so many locusts, like the tide of the sea, can suck the blood dry in a moment, who can stop them? Everyone quickly retreated into the house first. Chubby exclaimed.

We hurriedly retreated to the house, but these locusts came fiercely, followed by us poured into the house, Xiangzi picked up a backpack and killed a few, but to no avail, there were too many locusts, like the sea water at high tide, constantly surging towards us, Zhang Meng retreated a little slower, and a grasshopper burrowed into his calf.

"Ah,, it's getting in", Zhang Meng said as she tried to pull the locust out with her hand.

"Don't move", Xiangzi shouted, came to Zhang Meng's approach, and kept slamming Zhang Meng's calf with his hand, and the grasshopper that got into it was slapped out, Xiangzi pinched its head and threw it away.

"This thing can't be broken, and if it's broken in the lower half, it will drill into it, all the way to the heart." Shoko said.

Zhang Meng was afraid: "Dude, I'm glad to have you." But your hand is a joker, and it hurts more than a locust bite. Zhang Meng didn't forget to spank at this time.

Just as Xiangzi and Zhang Meng were talking, Xiaopang and I also fell for the trick, and hurriedly learned Xiangzi's method to shoot out the locusts and throw them away.

More and more locusts rushed to us, and we hurriedly stepped back, and in the blink of an eye we had retreated to the corner, and there was no way back.

Uncle Hai, who had already retreated to the corner of the wall, saw us retreating and scolded: "Waste, rice bucket, hold it for me." But at this time, he couldn't help it, and it was useless to shout again.

Uncle Hai was really anxious, jumped on Xiangzi's back, and asked Xiangzi to break out with him on his back. I secretly scolded this old thing for being human, thinking about myself in times of crisis.

"Xiangzi, don't listen to him, this old thing is for you to die." Zhang Meng shouted.

Xiangzi inadvertently Uncle Hai jumped on his back, shook his body, took a step back, stepped on a bag, as if he suddenly remembered something, and shouted with joy: "There is help." ”

Xiao Fat slapped the locusts with his clothes to stop the speed of the locusts from surging forward, and asked, "Tell me quickly, how can you be saved?" (To be continued.) )
