Chapter 35: The Three of Them Get Together
"Ahh Zou Ling shouted.
"Hmm—my feet seem to be twisted."
"Xiao Yao, are you okay? Can you stand up? ”
"It hurts! Come and help me, what tripped us just now..."
"I don't know, I can't even see the ghost shadow in the black light, wait for me to touch it."
I felt my hands groping on my legs, but they couldn't scream, they were about to touch the base of my thighs, and I prayed to her that she would stop.
"Huh? How does it feel like a pair of legs?! Zou Ling was surprised.
"Ahh
"It's true, it should be Li Jie, why is this kid lying here?"
There were two slaps on my face, and it hurt hotly!
Zou Ling said angrily: "How can I sleep like a dead pig, I can't wake up even if I fight, hum!" We looked for him all the way, and it turned out that this kid was hiding here and sleeping! ”
I felt a grievance in my heart, tears swallowed silently in my stomach, what else can I do if I'm like this?
Xiao Yao said: "Li Jie is not usually this kind of person, you see if he fainted, the things in his bag were eaten by the two of us, he didn't eat a bite, maybe he was hungry and fainted..."
Xiao Yao still understands me, and a warm current swells up in my heart, she is much more considerate than Zou Ling, and knowing my personality is really touching.
Zou Ling's mobile phone fell on the ground just now and didn't pick it up, and I don't know if it was broken, Xiao Yao's mobile phone was already out of battery, Zou Ling began to touch my pants pocket, took out the mobile phone and pressed it for most of the day and didn't see the screen light up, it seems that it is also out of power, and I sighed helplessly.
Zou Ling said: "Li Jie is like this, I can't drag him now, Xiao Yao, your foot is sprained again, and now there are two wounded, what can I do alone?" ”
Xiao Yao comforted: "Don't worry, maybe my feet will be able to walk after a while, I just fell just now, it shouldn't be too serious, just rub it a few more times." ”
Now my mind is a mess, my body still can't move, I can only keep thinking about everything that happened when we entered the stairs until now, what is the mystery in this? What key details are we missing?
The current predicament is very unfavorable to us, I don't know when I will be able to "wake up", Zou Ling and Xiao Yao saw that I was in a coma, my physical characteristics were normal, and I didn't feel hunger myself, it seemed that my consciousness was imprisoned by an invisible force, and I could only stay awake but could not dominate my body.
It occurred to me that there are many examples of this in folklore, and in layman's terms, this situation is called "ghost press", and many people have had this experience, and they are very conscious but they can't open their eyes. For this kind of weird thing, many so-called experts believe that it is a sleep disorder, and only a very small number of people will have this kind of situation, but the folk saying is still very referential, most of them say that the yang energy in the body is reduced and haunted by yin spirits.
Obviously, the way I am now cannot be caused by sleep disorders, and there is only one explanation for being haunted by ghosts.
In the space controlled by the nightmare, all the rules are made by it, and the three of us who broke in became the objects of its play, and I tried my best to control my body, even if I moved my fingers, and after trying for a long time to no avail, I thought of a key place when I was about to give up.
My mouth can actually move, but it can't make a sound, so there's a way!
The sharp pain spread down my tongue to my brain, biting the tip of my tongue was the best way I could think of, my consciousness became extremely clear, my head felt like it was going to explode, and a tingling sensation spread throughout my body, and I could finally move!
I was so excited that I wanted to scream, my throat was hoarse from not drinking for a long time, and I made a faint sound of ho-ho.
"Ahh Li Jie, he's awake! Zou Ling said loudly.
Xiao Yao moved closer and asked, "Li Jie, how are you feeling now?" ”
"W-I... I tried hard to say something, but my throat couldn't make a sound, so I had to give up.
Zou Ling helped my upper body up against the wall, I felt a little more comfortable, and my breathing became much smoother while sitting, and I could always smell a musty smell when I lay at the base of the wall.
"Don't talk yet, your throat should have been dehydrated for too long, and now your body is also dehydrated, this situation is very unfavorable, do you still have water in your bag?" Zou Ling asked.
I shook my head, if I had it, I would have drunk it a long time ago, how would I have stayed until now.
Zou Ling was silent for a while and said, "In this case, you should take a good rest first, and I will tell you what I have found." ”
"Xiao Yao's speculation was verified by the two of us at the same time, I don't know the situation on your side, I kept walking down, I can't remember how many stairs I walked, and then I found the wall that we first found blocking the way back, so going down is a dead end."
"As for going up, I can guess part of it if you don't say it, you should not have reached the end, and you did not meet me from the stairs below me, which means that the so-called circular tipping point has not been found. However, Xiao Yao found that the two of us had not heard back for most of the day, so we went down first to find me, and then we continued to walk down together, and it didn't take long to reach the wall, which is where we stepped on this staircase. ”
"So you should understand a little, from the moment we stepped on this staircase, we have been walking up for at least ten hours, and I walked down for less than an hour to reach the bottom, indicating that the critical point of the cycle is actually the beginning of the staircase!"
As soon as I heard Zou Ling's analysis, I agreed with it, if I kept going up, I would definitely not find a way out, and only by returning to the starting point and letting everything go back to zero could I have a chance to escape from here.
I struggled to get up, and Zou Ling immediately understood what I meant when she saw this, and stepped forward to help me stand up.
The long-term detachment of consciousness and body caused me to be a little uncomfortable at first, and suddenly it occurred to me that the so-called seizure in the novel is probably this feeling, a soul entering a body that does not belong to oneself will definitely not be suitable at first, and the movements are stiff and inflexible, and this is the case now, walking with a limp, and my hands do not have much strength, barely able to hold on to the handrail on the side of the stairs to prevent myself from falling.
"Let's go, let's go down together until we see the wall." Zou Ling helped Xiao Yao up and said.
The three of us walked down for less than an hour, and sure enough, we reached the bottom, and it was the wall that blocked our way. I touched the wall and slammed it with my hand so hard that my arm was numb and there was no sound at all, and I suspected that there was dirt behind the wall, and we were like we were buried in this space.
What the hell is Nightmare playing? None of the three of us knew that the sharp pain in my mouth hadn't subsided, and the pain from biting the tip of my tongue had kept me awake and I was thinking about things more quickly.
It's impossible to estimate how thick the wall is, but it's supposed to be decades old, and all three of us can be sure that this is the beginning of the staircase, so to understand it - we walked up the stairs from the other side of the wall!
This leads me to the creepy assumption that this wall is real, and that the three of us are spirits!
