Chapter 7 Small things are of great use

The slag shined a flashlight at the bottom of the dark tunnel, looking at the stinger pit buried by the clods, and his heart was worried for a while, if he jumped off rashly, he would probably have been shot into a sieve by the crossbow now, right? Looking back at the old man, his kind eyes were still so kind, but they couldn't be associated with this killing mechanism in any way. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The slag took the ladder, and went down halfway through it first, and the old man handed over a burden, which contained dry food and two bottles, and sniffed it, one of which turned out to be pungent kerosene, and a bottle of water, and tied the burden, and he raised his hands to protect the old man's feet, and the two of them went down to the bottom.

By this time, the short pit at the bottom had been buried by clods of earth, and when you stepped on it, you could only feel the springs swinging up and down, and, of course, the empty sound of the crossbow in the upper part. Indeed, there was a sloping smooth bluestone slab beside the pit, on which there was no place to exert force, and if the feet and legs were pierced by short punctures, it would be a matter of urgency.

The slag is estimated to touch, this bluestone slab is installed very tricky, its upper part is the edge of the shaft that gradually closes, and the end is a small hole that can only accommodate one person to climb into, the whole structure is imagined, like a downed bottle mouth, the big place is the upper part of the short pit of the pit, and then on the oblique bluestone slab all the way to the narrower and narrower, even if you want to jump up and rush into the hole, it will be blocked by the edge of the upper part.

This time the slag had a heart, carefully observed the surface of the bluestone slab, there was indeed no abnormal trace, he remembered the kerosene given by the old man, so he smeared some on it, but there was no reaction. If it is destroyed rashly, the slate is tilted and smooth and it is not easy to step on it, and secondly, it is necessary to consider whether it will cause a collapse.

Just when he was at a loss, the old man pointed to the ladder, and the slag looked at the old man in surprise, is there no hidden mechanism here that can help people go up?

"Don't think about it, since you want to make this place a part of the killing, don't do any other use, the mechanism is composed of multiple parts, and the more parts there are, the more variables will be, so the key is to be fine."

The slag blushed suddenly, feeling that his IQ had been insulted, but the old man said.

"Tomb robbing, tomb robbery, robbing is the tomb, and it is not a cracking mechanism, the mechanism is only a part of the tomb, so tomb robbery is the same as doing things, first of all, we must look at the whole, the whole and the part should not be confused, otherwise there will be no priority. You're touching the trap for the first time today, so you're trapped inside, and it feels like it's full of traps, but in fact, they're only placed where they need to function the most. ”

After laying the ladder, Slag and the old man climbed one after the other and drilled into the small hole at the entrance, the hole was only two shoulder widths, and the top and bottom were narrower and could only barely turn over, and the cave was not long after the cave was repaired, there was a turn or an upward slope, and it always changed direction after climbing a section.

Slag held a flashlight in his hand, thinking that he must not bring a torch when he got into this place, not to mention the angle of turning around, even the heat and smoke smell of the torch can torture people to death. It seems that if there is no flashlight, you can only move forward in the dark.

"Remember, be sure to shine the light forward, carefully distinguish if there is anything abnormal ahead, don't panic, and don't be afraid of anything you see!"

As soon as he heard the old man say this, the slag felt that the hairs on his whole body stood up, and there was a dead face under his eyelids, with miserable white skin, the entire facial features were distorted, and the corners of his closed eyes were blood-red, and this terrifying scene happened in front of his eyes in an instant.

Just when the slag instinctively moved his arm back, suddenly, the eyes opened suddenly, and the blood-red eyes suddenly glared out, staring at the slag viciously, his mouth suddenly opened, and his whole face trembled slightly upward, as if he was about to get out of the soil!

In this confined space, people are already unwell when their freedom is strongly restricted, and they don't know what will exist in the cave. Now a dead face suddenly appeared under his head, and it turned out to be alive, as if waiting for the prey to arrive, to choose someone to eat.

The slag screamed 'ah', and one got up and hit his head on the upper wall of the cave again, and suddenly he almost fainted, but instinct made him desperately retreat, but it was not easy to retreat quickly in this narrow space, and there was an old man behind him.

At this time, I heard the old man shouting from behind:

"Do you see a dead man's face? That's a fake, it's a little trap, you dig up the dirt in front of it and look at it.

As soon as I heard that it was fake, where would the slag believe it, it was obviously a human face with clear facial features, and it would really move, under the urging of the old man, he had the courage to look at it, and it was really just a prop, but it was very realistic. Digging up the soil in front of the dead man's face, a piece of iron was revealed, and the angry slag simply dug out the whole dead man's face.

It turns out that there are three springs under the iron sheet, which are covered with three connecting rods, and the iron sheet is buried on the top and covered with soil, so that people can not feel abnormal when they climb over, and when the person is pressed on the iron sheet, the spring inside is pressed down, one connecting rod is raised to push out the eyeballs, the other is to open the mouth, and the last one is connected to the forehead of the dead man's face, as if the human face is about to come out of the soil.

Slag felt like he had been reborn, but until now, his heart was still trembling violently, and if it weren't for his own hard heart, he might have died suddenly in this space.

He lay there and rested for a long time, to be honest, he was really a little reluctant to go any further, even if the old man told him that the dead man's face was fake, he felt that he could not withstand such a fright.

In this kind of confined space, the front and back of the body are difficult to perform, people's emotions are negative, and particularly sensitive, once a sensory stimulation suddenly appears, this signal will guide the brain to imagine more pictures, the longer the stay is more realistic, and even hallucinations will occur when they are on the verge of collapse.

Indeed, not long after he had calmed his heart, a honeycomb-like nest appeared on the earthen wall in front of him, densely occupying space more than one person long. The small holes are next to each other, some are big and some are small, and some are protruding, and where the flashlight shines, you can see that there are insects at the entrance of the hole.

Slag feels like he's going into shock, is this also fake? It's impossible, these props can be controlled artificially, but how can these insects in the cave be at the mercy of people?!

He stopped completely, his whole body was trembling, his body was no longer obedient, he felt that there was a huge swarm of insects in the nest in front of him, although he didn't know what kind of species it was, but as long as he crawled over, it would infest them, and finally poured out of the nest, covering the entire dark passage.

They were big and small, densely packed, rushing up and enveloping themselves, burrowing through their eyes, mouths, nostrils, and ears, and thinking about how terrifying it was to be covered with insects, but now they couldn't get out, or even turn around.

Just when the slag was already frightened, the old man roared behind him.

"The more you have to calm yourself at this time, you can't think nonsense, if you feel the danger, you have to be steady, and withdraw slowly, you can only scare yourself to death!"

"Splash kerosene on those holes, the insects are afraid of the smell of kerosene, the action must be fast and accurate, don't tremble, or we will both die here!"

Slag said that this was the first time in his life that he had experienced the fear of death, and it seemed that the old man had deliberately guided him here step by step, so that he had to face life and death, and from his breath, it seemed that the insects would suddenly crawl out and attack them.

Can't hesitate, absolutely can't hesitate, Slag feels that the blood of the family in his bones is boiling, and he can't retreat in the face of fear, either overcome it, or when he is dying, he will die together!

So, he quickly climbed a few steps forward, poured kerosene on the dense wormhole, and then kept shooting everywhere with a flashlight.

However, there was no response to the whole wormhole, I didn't hear the sound of the crawling insects, and I didn't see any creatures come out, could it be that the whole wormhole was already a waste nest? Just when the slag nerves were tense, the old man's laughter came from behind.

"Hahahaha, yes, the melon eggs have grown up, I was really afraid that you were scared just now, but your set of actions, well, quite a martial artist's quality, don't be afraid, that's still fake!"

Slag'Ah! If it weren't for the old man in the back, he swore that he would beat this guy hard. What a vicious and meticulous heart this must be, able to make use of every joint, and make people usher in more terrifying mental destruction after experiencing the test of life and death in the flesh.

From narrow caverns to twisted structures, from controlling each other's difficult access to fire sources to the horrors created in light and shadow, from the sudden appearance of dead faces to the lifelike wormholes made, the designer is like a bystander, mockingly watching the person who burrows in the way in be swallowed up by his own fear.

Slag feels that this distance has been climbed for a long time, and more and more feels that the front is longer, in the narrow cave, if you always keep moving, you can still relieve the discomfort of the muscles, but if you are forced to stop by the danger, for a little longer, the whole muscle will be extremely uncomfortable because of the sleepiness, and this feeling will eventually drive the human spirit crazy. Slag dares to say that if he is really alone, even if there is a mountain of gold and silver in front of him, he will definitely withdraw and swear not to come in again!

Relieved his mind, since the old man said that it was fake, the slag boldly crawled forward, when passing through the wormhole, he felt that his entire scalp was numb, like throwing a dense phobia into a secret room full of worm eggs, what was even more devastating was that the light crossed the wormhole, there were indeed things inside, all of them were small wood carvings, but at first glance, it was absolutely lifelike.

Slag deliberately closed his eyes and felt it with his fingers, and his fingertips could clearly feel the dense holes, and when his fingers accidentally reached into the holes and touched those small wood carvings, it really felt that they were alive. Now, thanks to the light, what would happen if it was pitch black?

Crawling through the wormhole area, he felt that the whole person was relaxed, since the old man had already made it clear that they were all fake props after testing himself, then there was nothing to be afraid of. Even in a turn in front of you or a sudden misalignment of vision, it's not surprising to see something like a skeleton or a dead man's face.

"Grandpa, isn't there any more murderous mechanism here?"

"There's no need anymore, the layout here is to torture people's psychology, if you can pass through the mechanism in front of you, and then enter this cave, you will first feel that this place is more dangerous, plus the constantly changing angle, people's sense of direction will be completely disturbed, like entering an endless labyrinth, if you count these small objects, it is estimated that many people are either trapped in it, or retreat early."

"Now, you turn off your flashlight, and we'll go in the dark and tell me what you touched."
