Chapter 38: The Woman in the Cave

When I woke up, I found myself lying on the cold ground, with no light around me, and my feet were a little wet and slippery. A wet and heavy fishy smell came to my nose, and these wet traces were most likely blood.

Thinking of this, my heart can't help but beat a little faster. But I was still in the office just now, and I came to this strange place at this time, there must be some special reason. Reaching out and cautiously probing forward, I touched something as rough and sharp as a rock wall. If nothing else, this is a cave-like structure.

I walked back and forth along the rough rock wall, and finally figured out the direction of the cave passage. Although it is said that this place is someone's dream, if you stay where you are, and with this strong smell of blood, the things that live here are definitely not good. No matter where the passage ends up, give it a try.

I held my breath and walked in horror until I saw the light coming in from the hole not far away. Now there is salvation! I immediately spread my legs and ran towards the hole. I seemed to step on something soft along the way, but I couldn't care about it anymore and ran lifeless towards the place where the light was shining in.

Seeing that he was about to run to the entrance of the cave, suddenly a black shadow fell from the sky, blocking the light from the entrance of the cave, and the darkness in front of him was once again like death. A pair of sharp wolf-like eyes glittered in the darkness, staring at me. It was as if I had been locked in by him, and my legs and feet were so stiff that I couldn't move.

"You...... Is it a human or a ghost? "She opened her mouth first, it was actually a young woman's voice, fortunately it was not some fierce ghost beast, and the panic in my heart settled down for the most part." Say it quickly, or I'll kill you! Her tone was vicious and unfriendly. I don't know why, but subconsciously told me that this woman was not a bad person, but that she was very vigilant.

"People! I'm human! Seeing her pressing step by step, I immediately shouted, and unconsciously raised my hand in a gesture of surrender. His own voice echoed in the cave, sounding terrifying.

Her piercing eyes looked me down several times, and at last she softened her eyes, as if she had lifted her guard. I don't know how she could see through the darkness in such depth. Judging by her appearance, she must be the owner of this cave. I immediately thought of the bloody ground at the end of the cave, and the strings that had just been loosened tightened again.

I was in front, she was behind, and the two of them walked one after the other towards the place I had just run out. It was getting closer and closer to the bloody ground, and the wet smell kept pounding on my nasal mucosa. She didn't speak, but her footsteps behind her were like a pistol, pressed against my back, forcing me to keep moving forward. Just as she was about to reach the end of the cave, she suddenly spoke:

"Stop."

This sudden voice sounded behind me, startling me, and my heart was in my throat. All that was left in the silence of the cave was the sound of my rapid breathing and the pounding of my heart. Could it be that she's going to kill me here and put me in the innermost rock chamber?

She walked slowly around me, and I could hear her breathing clearly. I closed my eyes as if I were afraid of her eyes, waiting for death to come. I don't know if this eldest sister has a pistol or not, I like a cleaner way to die.

After waiting nervously for a few seconds, she didn't do anything to me, but she heard the sound of stones rubbing against me. I opened my eyes and looked at the place where the sound had come from, and although it was pitch black, I could see nothing, but I could feel that the sound was coming from above my head.

"Go up." She said coldly. Before I could react, he picked me up and slammed straight up. It wasn't a very wide cavern, and I felt like my head was going to hit the roof of it.

"Catch." She suddenly threw me up, and I subconsciously reached out and pushed it to the side, and miraculously touched another plane. According to the current development of the plot, she probably won't kill me. I suddenly remembered the practice of chicken in foreign cooking, in order to make the meat more flavorful, I would try to pat the chicken before cooking, or let the chicken move for a while, so that the meat would be more chewy.

She asked me to go back and forth like this, she didn't want to eat me.

Just as I was still immersed in my imagination, there was a sudden violent sense of frustration from under my body. Oh no, she let go, she's going to fall me to death! I don't know how high I've been lifted, but I'm sure I'm going to break my bones if I fall to the ground like this. I couldn't see anything at the moment, and I was holding my body like a gymnast, doing a standard orthocross pose, and my arms were cramping.

"What are you doing! Get on it! Her voice came from below, and I quickly retracted my legs, and my whole body collapsed to the ground like a deflated ball. Sure enough, the young man doesn't exercise, and the boss is sad.

Seeing that I had gone up, she jumped up skillfully and skillfully, and the sound of stones grinding against me came again.

The new cave is still dark. With a "bang", a small flame lit up in front of me, and the small space was immediately illuminated. I was startled by the pale face of her reflected in the firelight, but I immediately calmed down again, for there was nothing dead or ghostly about her. It is certain that this is a big living person, but how did this big living person appear in such a dream-like place again? Whose dream is this? Why am I here?

She stood up and lit the three torches attached to the rock wall in the cave one by one, and the whole cave was as bright as day. It was then that I realized that the space we were in was strangely shaped, and it didn't look like it was formed naturally.

"Okay, tell me, how did you find here?" She blew out the flames in her hands, turned and leaned against the rock wall, looking at me quietly.

That's when I saw what this woman looked like. She was about twenty, with a round face and long hair tied up in a bunch at the back of her head. The skin that has not been exposed to the sun all year round is white and transparent, and the blood vessels on the face are almost visible. She was wearing gray overalls from the sixties and seventies, and her top was taken off and tied around her waist, leaving only a tight-fitting vest to outline her delicate figure. She's about the same height as me, but judging by her bare slender arms, she's clearly a lot thinner than mine. The whole person gave me the feeling of being a miniature version of Laura, no wonder she had the power to throw me up. "Don't you want to say it?" Seeing that I didn't answer, she pressed again, "If you don't say anything, I'll throw you down!" She pointed to the entrance where we had just come up, a small hole the width of a man.

"Tell me! Say! Don't worry," I replied with a wave of my hand, "and you don't believe me, but I don't know how I got here." ”

After saying this, I was ready for her to ask me another question, but strangely she lowered her head and turned to stare at the stone beside her, as if in deep thought.

"You're ......," I said cautiously.

"It's still useless." She suddenly laughed softly, I was a little startled by her action, and shrank back, "I've been waiting for decades, and finally I've waited for someone, but it still can't help me." ”

I could see that she was a little helpless or disappointed, and the empathy in my heart immediately came up and asked, "What's going on here?" Who are you? ”

Hearing my question, she turned her face again, stared into my eyes, and said, "Like you, I don't know how I got here."

"After so many years, I have long forgotten many things, and I have even forgotten who I am. One day many years ago, when I woke up, I was already in this dark cave. At first, like you, I was attracted by the light at the entrance of the cave, but it was an illusion, and if you don't believe it, you can try it, as long as anything that enters the light will be swallowed up. ”

I was shocked, no wonder she didn't let me run out, it turned out to be all an illusion, and she even saved my life.

"And what do you remember?" I asked.

"Remember what? I don't remember anything! She sneered helplessly a few times and continued, "There is blood everywhere in the cave, especially at the end, and the blood flowing in it never seems to dry up. At first, I was afraid that there would be some monsters here, so I dug up the space above day and night. Fear drove me, and I dug and dug and dug and dug However, not to mention the beast, I did not see even half of the animal's hair.

"You're the first living creature I've seen here in years." She reached out and pointed straight at me, her eyes locked on me like a prey again, and I instantly felt like a sharp sword piercing my heart.

No wonder the dark shadow I had seen before had fallen from the sky, and it turned out that she was above the entrance of the cave at the time.

"I don't look like you're from my time," I said, "My name is Wu Chao, and I suddenly broke into you when I was checking information in the office of N University." ”

I told her everything that happened, and she didn't seem to be able to figure out anything for a while, and she was always confused, until I said the name Zhao Cheng.

"Zhao Cheng?" She repeated the name over and over again.

"Do you know him?" I suddenly felt like I was asking a stupid question.

Her face changed suddenly, the blood vessels in her neck bulged, her face was hideous, and she said viciously: "This person is the devil!" With that, she asked me to look around at the rock wall.

At first I didn't notice anything on the rock wall, but when I looked at it again, I was immediately shocked by what I saw.

On the long and narrow rock wall, there are the words "Zhao Cheng" carved in stone everywhere, densely like stars, and my hairs stand up.

That's right, it's Zhao Cheng, not Zhao Cheng.
