Chapter 9: The Cannibalistic Ladder
The bridge is still the same bridge, and the corpse in a trance sits in the middle of the stone bridge. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info everything must be related to this corpse, the completely removed eyeballs, the flat incision palm, the human head rolling down out of thin air, and the strange bloodstains like a sacrificial formation.
I turned on my flashlight and slowly approached him, rushing to stand across from him the moment I saw him move. calmly watched as other people's heads rolled off, and then there were terrifying scenes.
But I just looked at it coldly, greeted my cousin, and it came step by step with bared teeth. I gestured to it and told it to continue walking forward.
And I'm going to stay where I am and see if there's anything strange about this corpse. My cousin's back faded into the darkness, and the corpse in front of me changed, as if it were slowly dissolving, like salt in water.
As he dissolved, behind me, a vaguely outlined figure appeared, sitting cross-legged on the ground. Almost subconsciously, I picked up the flashlight and threw it down on the shadow behind me, and nothing strange happened.
The shadow did not appear in the yellow light, and nothing disappeared. My eyes watched as the stone bridge absorbed all the flesh and blood, and the ground became clean.
This bridge eats people! Thinking of this, I trotted towards my cousin.
My cousin sat at the head of the bridge waiting for me, and I was relieved that the lights were shining in the space behind it. It was a sloping staircase, and the darkness led to nowhere. Although it is eerie and weird, at least it has stepped out of the stone bridge of infinite reincarnation, isn't it? I asked my cousin.
I sat at the head of the bridge, looking back at the darkness on the stone bridge, and my heart palpitated. There was a hot pain in his shoulders again, which he had forgotten because he was too nervous, but now he was relaxed and gritted his teeth in pain.
My cousin saw that my face was not good, and came over and licked the frayed wounds on my shoulders twice. I gasped in pain. Even though I knew that it was friendly and beneficial for the animal to lick its wounds, I immediately pushed its big head aside under the pain.
I can't afford to be so gifted by your old man, I said to it.
Without any first-aid equipment, I tore off my sleeve and bandaged it briefly, at least this wound with a broken epidermis could not be exposed to the air, and the devil knows if there was any poisonous gas or deadly microorganisms in the air.
Although the ghost blowing lantern is ancient, the scientific truth in it is reasonable. When going down to the tomb, light the candle, if the candle is extinguished or burns abnormally, it must be because the air is different, either the oxygen content is not enough, or there are other phototaxis microorganisms, if you do not exit the cemetery at this time, you will inevitably die in it.
I calmed down, rested and set off again. I don't know whose tomb it is, and I can't tell the dynasty, but the purpose of my coming down is to find Lao Yang and Gillian and help them bring the body back.
I had the idea of robbing a tomb or something, I used to have it. But this line of people who have made a fortune from the dead, especially those who rob corpses, has lost their conscience, and they don't know what kind of punishment they will suffer from God.
At this moment, there are at least two groups of people in this tomb, one is the mysterious organization that has never shown up and stole the body, and the rest are Lao Yang Ajiao and me. Why at least, because I'm not sure if there is a third party in existence.
The camouflage suit in the corpse coffin and the corpse on the bridge are from the same organization, as can be seen from the same camouflage suit. But who can guarantee that they must be the corpse robbers?
Counting the time, it has been almost two hours. If you don't go out for another three or four hours, it might already be dark outside. And after dark, all the demons and monsters will appear, and then it will become even more difficult.
The most important thing is that the sedan car is going to be delayed, and I don't want to face the stinky face that the Mai woman doesn't know. I patted my cousin on the ass and walked down the dark steps.
I probed the stone walls on both sides with my flashlight to make sure there were no mechanisms before stepping onto the steps. This staircase is also a solid stone staircase, and if there is a mechanism, maybe the next moment I will be pierced by ten thousand arrows or buried by quicksand.
My cousin followed me, quiet to the extreme. The sound of my footsteps echoed in this space, and after walking for more than ten minutes, I felt that I could not breathe and my feet were empty, and there seemed to be some mysterious power in this corridor that made people exhausted.
I was so tired that I sat on the stone wall and gasped. The moment the palm of the hand touched the stone wall, the whole space suddenly lit up, and the bright light of the fire went straight to the feet from a high place.
My eyes were pierced and it was hard to open, and the yellow light of the flashlight was useless at this moment. The rigid dry battery can last for three or four hours, and I immediately turned off the flashlight.
The light came so suddenly, as if someone was secretly manipulating the mechanism.
Looking up, the stone walls on both sides were lit with candlesticks, and in the candlesticks were jet-black solid fuel. Later, Lao Yang told me that this was made by the ancients from fish oil, and the ignition point was very low, and the tomb was permanently closed after the deceased was buried, and the oxygen was exhausted, and it was naturally extinguished.
And once someone enters the tomb, the natural air circulation, the oxygen content rises, and it immediately ignites like a ghostly lamp.
But these are all afterthoughts, and my eyes finally adjusted to the sudden bright light. Looking upwards, I don't know how far the steps are. The steps go straight up and down, and the pillars on the stone wall actually converge into a point in the distance of the vision group, how far away must this be? To say the least, it would have to be a few kilometers away.
I was amazed by the vastness of the project, and it took me a long time to regain my mind. I don't know how long I walked up, but when I looked behind me, the steps under my feet were so far away.
Ten minutes away, I actually walked so far?
The fires on both sides turned into two straight lines that intersected at infinity, and the steps changed from wide to small. The stone bridge in the dark before made it difficult to see the real face and terrifying, but at this moment, the steps are transparent for you to see, and it is even more shocking that it is difficult to distinguish between the real and the unreal.
It's like crossing time and space, obviously only one step has been taken, but it has reached the ends of the earth.
I seemed to have forgotten something, and the scene I had experienced raced through my mind. Looking up towards the top of the steps, there were endless steps, and when you turned around, there were endless lights.
In an instant, I realized that I was the only one left, and my cousin didn't know when he was gone.
The empty and clear space, the endless steps, the atmosphere that is so quiet to the extreme, that in this absolute light, you can't even see your own shadow. My heart panicked in an instant, is this such a strange staircase really endless?
I held on to the stairs and walked for I don't know how long, but I felt like my legs were like lead and I was lying on the steps and breathing heavily.
I smiled bitterly, it turned out to be really endless. At this moment, even if you want to go back, it is too late, if it is not bad, the steps to turn back must be endless.
At this time, I was glad that my cousin was not around, otherwise it would have whined and whined urgently, and perhaps fell to the ground tired, sticking out its long tongue.
My vision was blurry, and all the bright lights were getting darker. I knew it was just me closing my eyes, but I just didn't want to open them, because the endless lights and countless steps were so terrifying.
I really can't imagine why the ancients had such a huge project, and I even have a sense of life and death in my heart. Because no matter how hard you try, you won't be able to get out of this step.
But how did everyone else get by? Could it be that none of them have met each other? Two questions flashed through my mind, and I immediately opened my eyes.
But the moment I opened my glasses, something was coming at me, and the trajectory that flew high in the light became so terrifying.
My body is so tired that it is difficult to move my fingers, what else can I do at this time? I just close my eyes and wait for this huge beast to eat me, at least in the future, no one who steps on this step will see a dead body sitting here and dying.
Suddenly, something wet swept across my face. When I opened my eyes, I saw a large yellow dog's head. It's actually a cousin, and I don't know when this thing will go up the stairs.
But what if it came, it was just the bones of a strange dog on this step.
After I don't know how long, my body regained some strength. My cousin watched me wake up, licked my palm, and walked up the steps. I sat where I was, too lazy to get up. It actually looked back at me, and the look in it spoke for itself.
I got up and followed it, only to see it go down the steps, but on all fours on all fours. It soon disappeared into the stairs as if it had never appeared.
I followed its steps, and jumped a total of sixteen steps, and the light in front of me suddenly dimmed, and all the steps disappeared. At that moment, I almost laughed out loud, and this transition from death to life was difficult to calm down.
Later, the old ghost of Baihua told me that this step is called the Lost Soul Array. There is a mist of incense in all the walls and lights of the steps, which makes people drowsy and tired but keeps their sanity, and each step is divided into four small steps, each of which is also depicted with light and shadow lines, making people look like the steps are infinitely extended.
There are huge bronze mirrors at both ends of the staircase, just to create the image of the lamp and the staircase that extends indefinitely. From the beginning of darkness to absolute light, the eyes will inevitably have an adaptation process, but when the eyes adapt to the light, the body is soft and tired to the extreme.
Step by step, it seems difficult to complete, and each step is only a quarter of a step under the condition of physical exertion and visual dislocation.
In the end, he was so tired that he gave up his life.
