Chapter 10: The Chamber of Secrets
The so-called no coincidence is not a book. Sometimes coincidences are scarier than those described in the book.
There were a few ham sausages stuck next to the campfire, and the ziz, which had long been roasted by the fire, was bubbling with oil. Guanglong couldn't hold on any longer, and when he saw that there was no one around, he sat cross-legged on the ground and began to eat enough. He had never been so hungry, and he had never noticed that roasted ham could smell so good.
After eating it, Guanglong found that this sausage had a special fishy smell in addition to the meaty aroma. A few sausages were reimbursed in the blink of an eye, and he wiped his mouth and savored it, wondering who had baked it. The heart said that it must be God's pity for himself, but you still don't care about the old man next time?
Strange to say, after a few sausages, he felt full of strength and his spirit was also lifted. Guanglong looked around, the bonfire hula and danced, reflected on the abrupt stone wall behind it, surrounded by endless darkness. Now that Lao Tzu is full, he is not afraid of anything, and he has even seen the bull head and horse noodles, but he wants to see which way the demons and monsters deliberately led him over. He sneered and crossed his hands in front of his chest, making a nonchalant appearance, now the enemy is dark and I am clear, and the time that should come will come sooner or later.
He heard heavy footsteps in the darkness, coming. But then the voice broke off and regained its calm, as if it had just been an auditory hallucination.
Footsteps sounded suddenly, this time it was actually sounding from multiple directions at the same time, which... How many people exactly. Guanglong was surrounded by footsteps, and immediately became embattled. His eyes were slightly closed, listening intently to the source of the sound.
After getting rid of the distractions, the voice gradually became clearer. That's it, in the darkness I felt with my heart that there were not many people, just one or two people, deliberately running or making footsteps to disturb his mind, trying to break him spiritually. Then give a lethal attack at the moment when he is about to collapse.
I didn't expect the other party to be so scheming. He really took it lightly, the huge secret room should have thought that there would be people. Even if he could predict from which direction the other party would attack, he wouldn't have the time and physical strength to dodge, not to mention that he didn't have the superpower to predict the danger in advance, and he couldn't even sense the murderous aura.
The serenity on the outside did not hide the panic on the inside, and he was suddenly grabbed by something on his shoulder, and he didn't react at all. "Where did the wild boy come from, he dared to eat the uncle's game, he was tired and crooked." A familiar voice came from behind Guanglong.
Guanglong jumped up and turned around to look, "It's you." The two said in unison.
What he saw in front of him was none other than Fei Nan, who had been missing for many days. Guanglong looked at him suspiciously, and then looked at the shadow behind him that was illuminated by the firelight, and said, "Why are you here, you have a shadow?" ”
Fei Nan was as excited as seeing a relative, gave Guanglong a bear hug, and spoke with a crying voice: "Damn, I finally met someone who can speak." ”
Guanglong was overjoyed. Lao Wang finally sent a right-hand man to assist him.
They sat side by side by the fire and told each other about what was going on after they parted. Fei Nan said with a melancholy face: "I'm not a human or a ghost now, I'm going crazy." ”
Guanglong comforted him and said, "It's okay, I didn't come down to accompany you, how did you end up here?" He remembered that Fei Nan had a shadow, so he asked him what was going on.
Fei Nan couldn't say why, Guanglong had to think about it according to his own thinking: the cross-dimensional crossing would sooner or later adapt to the rules of the current dimension. If he continues to live in the world of the dead, he will inevitably lose his shadow as well.
However, the character image he created appeared in front of him alive, Guanglong was still excited for a long time, and even had the capital to show off.
After saying goodbye to Guanglong, Fei Nan had a strange mobile phone on his body. Fei Nan originally wanted to travel back to the world of the dead, after all, he was used to it there, but he encountered the same encounter with Guanglong, and the traversal trajectory deviated. After waking up, I didn't know where I was, and I was taken to this cave in a daze, and I couldn't get out. I haven't seen anyone for a few days, and I'm really crazy about him.
Is it the same group of people that Guanglong wants to bring them over? What is the purpose? It must have been done by the mysterious group with the cards of spades. This is a blatant kidnapping, could it be that Lao Wang is afraid that he will dance the play, so he is tied up to watch the works he designed.
Fei Nan suddenly remembered something, so he asked, "You say, I have a shadow and a body temperature." Is it really dead? In my world, these symptoms only appear when they are dead. ”
His words confirmed Guanglong's inference: the present world and the world of the dead are two ends of the mirror, and all are relative, so we think that there will be no shadow and no body temperature when we die, but the people of the world of the dead think that is the basic characteristic of being alive.
Guanglong then explained: "Perhaps, death is another spatial ideology. Maybe we haven't finished our lifespan, maybe we can be reborn if we perform well. Have you forgotten the system message we received when we fought zombies? ”
Fei Nan said hopefully: "Since the sky is not stopping me, we will find a way out, and we can't just sit still." Dude, we're going to work together again. ”
Guanglong remembered his previous experience with Fei Nan, and was finally able to fight side by side with the people in the work, and responded excitedly: "Fei Nan, even if you go to hell, brother, I will accompany you." ”
Fei Nan puffed up, "Okay, let's go." But... You just ate my big meal, and I need to find some. Guanglong listened to the words of the great scenery and immediately deflated.
Who said that the two-dimensional characters don't eat or drink, but they didn't draw it. Why has Fei Nan been missing for three days, how did he come back to life these days? There's not much to eat here. Guanglong asked Fei Nan suspiciously.
Fei Nan smiled bitterly: "You may not believe it, I was hungry at the beginning, who knew that food would fall from the sky, but it was not much." ”
Guanglong looked at Fei Nan in surprise, and food fell from the sky. Guanglong realized that the passage down was used for feeding? No, the passage is too difficult to walk. What is the purpose of imprisoning the people of Fei Nan, the test of hunger and loneliness?
Listen to Fei Nan continue; "The food that fell out a few days ago was air-dried beef and water, as well as dried and undecently dried steamed buns. Although it was difficult to swallow, I was so hungry that I could barely make ends meet. I had a plan to eat separately, but since yesterday I suddenly ran out of food, and I had to look around for food. ”
Guanglong was embarrassed to say that he blamed himself for his gluttony, and he was willing to follow to find food together, mainly to prepare for their next meal. Thinking about the sausage just now, I couldn't help asking, "How did you find the sausage, it's empty here." ”
Fei Nan said puzzledly: "Meat sausage? I remember finding a few big maggots, and I was so hungry that I roasted them, and I was hesitant to eat them just now, who would have thought that you would be the first to get there. Or are you powerful and courageous. ”
Guanglong looked at him in surprise.
Fei Nan raised her eyebrows and said, "Tell me, how does it taste." Look at you, you should be non-toxic. Let's find some more. ”
After hearing this, Guanglong felt nauseous and covered his mouth with his hand, and the things in his stomach almost wanted to roll and squirt out. Coughing up some sour water, looking at Fei Nan with a smile, Guanglong said angrily: "Why didn't you say it earlier." ”
Fei Nan patted Guanglong on the back and said, "I said earlier that you don't waste food, it's also protein." You've never seen anyone eat bugs alive, and at least the ones I caught were still dead. ”
Guanglong wiped his mouth and said, "If you live forgive me, you don't dare to catch it." Then he asked, "Where did you get the source of the fire, and you can't drill wood to make fire?" ”
Fei Nan said: "It's a fire sickle flint, which fell down with food." You won't use it. Although there is an oil lamp on the top, the fog makes it impossible to see anything clearly, and there is a fire to keep warm. Unfortunately, wood is limited, so we have to use it in a planned way. ”
Guanglong smiled and didn't speak, thinking that the people here were thoughtful enough. So they each took a torch and walked towards the depths of the secret room.
Fei Nan had been in the secret room for some days, and he should know something about this place. He said it was a slightly rectangular chamber with no doors or windows, and it was dark. Fogging is done periodically, and the time can be determined according to the fog situation.
He was scared at the time, but after a long time, he got used to it, and there were no monsters or anything like that. But the boundless loneliness is the most terrifying, especially the indescribable shiver in the unknown night. He was resting when Guanglong fell, and he was also very nervous when he heard the movement, but later saw that Guanglong didn't react, thinking that he had dropped food again.
"Fei Nan, what have you found in the past few days?" Guanglong asked curiously.
Fei Nan didn't speak, and went straight to lead Guanglong to a stone wall. He raised the fire above his head and shone it on the wall, and then said to Guanglong, "What do you think this is?" ”
The firelight was not bright, and Guanglong looked at the position of the torch of Feinan, and there were some words vaguely engraved on the wall. These words are vigorous and powerful, but I don't know who carved them.
