Chapter 60: Phantom (1)
Remember this stop for a second: M. Lao Xu drove his small truck to the edge of the valley, which was the bottom of the steep slope, and we drove around this edge.
Sitting in the passenger seat, I scanned the terrain of the valley with a telescope.
"What??!," Xu screamed.
"yes!
I told Lao Xu about the thrilling scene last night, and he was so frightened that he stepped on the brakes, and the telescope in my hand almost flew out.
He turned his head and looked at me with a look of horror.
"You...... What's wrong?" I asked him worriedly, "maybe it's just a nightmare, not real." ”
"You're panicking like that, can it still be a nightmare?" he shook his head, then seemed to think of something, clapped his palms, and continued, "Little Joan, do you remember what I told you yesterday!"
"What? I don't know exactly what you're referring to. ”
"Didn't I tell you? I'm in that ...... How do you call it?"
"Cotton Pond...... None of us seem to have much memory. ”
"Yes, yes, that cotton pool...... Didn't I see a blue light?
"What do you mean...... That thing is...... Really?"
Lao Xu pursed his lips, his eyes gradually became dull, and he looked into the distance without saying a word.
What I saw and heard last night was indeed very real, but I fell asleep again in a daze, and when I woke up, I always felt that it was just a dream.
But when Lao Xu said this, I gasped, and suddenly realized that those eyes really existed, and he really looked at me coldly.
"Xiao Qiong, do you really not see anything else except those eyes?"
"Hmm...... I'll think again. ”
I closed my eyes and thought about it carefully. My mind went back to the moment I woke up last night in a daze, and those eyes appeared in front of my eyes again, and he was right above my head.
But this time, I wasn't so scared, after all, in broad daylight, no ghosts would appear, and Lao Xu was by his side.
I recalled those eyes carefully, the pale blue light swirling around them. It seemed to be all darkness around it, and it didn't seem to be.
The pale blue light zigzagged forward, and suddenly it touched something blocking it, and it immediately dispersed.
What's that layer?
If you look closely, the layer of things wraps around the eyes, but not close to them, but at a certain distance.
"It's ......," I couldn't help but say.
"What do you remember?" asked Lao Xu anxiously.
"A hood?"
Oh, that's a hood. The thing was draped in a garment with a hat and a hat over its head.
There was darkness in the hood, and the eyes were sunken in the darkness.
The pale blue light swirled around the hood, eventually dissipating in the air overhead.
I looked down the pale blue light, wondering where it came from.
I looked at it and finally found it
The place where it first radiated. It turned out that the pale blue light was not created out of thin air, but floated out from under the clothes of the thing.
The thing seemed to have an electric blue light under its clothes, and although its clothes blocked the light, a little glare of light sneaked through.
Is that thing a human or a ghost? I asked myself.
The thing seemed to have a human body, and thinking about his eyes and gaze made me even more sure that he was probably a human being. But the strange pale blue light he emitted had to make me doubt my own judgment.
My heart was full of questions, and curiosity drove me to solve them and find out who he really was. But the fear of the unknown pulled me back and kept me in awe.
"Xiao Qiong, Xiao Qiong?" Lao Xu patted me lightly on the shoulder.
"I'm not 100% sure, but I don't think it's a thing......" I pursed my lips and frowned, waiting for Lao Xu to ask me.
"What's that?" he asked, wide-eyed.
"Maybe it's a person. ”
"How do you tell it's personal?"
"A woman's intuition ......," I said earnestly, nodding my head.
"Oops!"
Lao Xu was very disgusted with my answer, shook his hand, and continued to drive.
That's the end of the speculation about those eyes, and we have to get the day's work done in a hurry - we have to survey the valley before sunset to see if there is a safe path to climb above the cotton pond.
As long as we find a safe way out, we can take advantage of the night to find the diligent position of Zhuang Zhou's box, and then come back to him.
Although Lao Xu was not very willing to deal with my plan yesterday, after thinking about it, it seems that only this plan is more reliable.
After all, if we do find our way, we can leave here forever.
Actually, the overall work was not difficult, we stopped for a few hundred meters every few hundred meters, and I used my telescope to scan the steep slope outside the car, and then I went a few hundred meters forward and scanned it again.
It took half a day to scan the entire valley in this way.
Except for one place, that mysterious forest.
"Old Xu, why don't we go in and have a look?" I asked weakly.
"Of course not!" I was relieved to hear him say this, and I was worried that he would cramp and break in.
"Did you see anything strange the last time you went in?"
"There's nothing strange, it's just that this forest is very mysterious...... I sat down on the marker, but I was still spinning in circles. ”
The two of us got out of the car, nervous and scared to look at the mysterious forest in front of us.
When I looked at the forest from afar, the haunting white fog already scared me. And now Lao Xu parked the car near the forest, and the white mist actually drifted in our direction.
I subconsciously took two steps back, and the misty cotton pond had already left me with indelible fear.
old
Holding his tablet in his hand, Xu walked up to me and touched my shoulder, then pointed to the telescope I held in my hand.
I reacted and breathed a sigh of relief, pretending that I had just accidentally wandered.
"Don't be stunned, work!"
"Oh, ...... right away"
I lifted my binoculars and aimed at the forest ahead for a thorough scan. Soon, a topographic map of the entire forest appeared on the slab.
Lao Xu stared at the tablet, his brows slowly twisted together, he shook his head, and said very puzzled.
"That's weird, isn't it?"
"What's so strange?"
"It only shows the outer outline of this forest, and the inner ...... It doesn't show up at all. ”
I glanced at the slowly drifting white mist in the forest, and perhaps my fears were right.
"I think...... It's because of those white fogs. I said helplessly.
"Hmm...... I also encountered this situation last time......" Lao Xu scratched his head and said.
"It's time to probe that pool of cotton overhead. ”
Lao Xu and I raised our heads together very tacitly, glanced at the cotton pool, and shook our heads together. That's something that almost killed us!
We all know in our hearts that this time we must not act rashly.
There is only one life.
"Don't go into this forest. Lao Xu said indifferently.
"Agreed. Don't go in. I nodded vigorously.
The two of us turned back in tacit agreement and walked back towards Lao Xu's pickup truck.
Just as we walked to the cab, opened the door, and stepped on one foot, there was a crisp sound of branches breaking in the forest behind us.
Lao Xu was on the other side of the cab, I was on the other side of the cab, we looked at each other, and the two of us gasped at the same time, and the anger near the cab suddenly dropped to freezing.
"Lao Xu...... Did I hear me wrong?"
"Little Joan...... Did you hear that?"
"I heard ......"
"I heard ...... too"
One of us was holding one side of the door, and the other was standing on the side of the pedal, and both of us were so frightened by the slightest movement that we couldn't move.
I looked into Lao Xu's eyes, and he seemed to be asking me, what the hell is that?
And I told him the same with my eyes, I didn't know what it was.
The atmosphere has become very strange and frightening, perhaps not the thing itself, but our suspicion of the unknown, that is, to scare ourselves.
After a while, there was another sound of branches breaking in the forest.
This time, instead of standing there in a daze, we jumped into the car at the same time, closed the door, and pulled our seat belts over and fastened them before we were firmly in the driver's seat.
Lao Xu didn't say a word, stepped on the accelerator hard, twisted the steering wheel, and drove away from this forest as fast as possible.
As the car was speeding through the grass, a faint pale blue light flashed in the rearview mirror, and I accidentally caught a glimpse of it
Finish.
I looked closely, and the pale blue light was in the forest, and the thing that emitted the blue light was nestled next to a tree, silently watching us.
I quickly opened the window and poked my head out, but by the time I tried to see it again, the little blue light was gone, and the thing was ......
No, to be precise, it should be that person...... Disappeared into the erratic white mist.
"What? Xiao Qiong, are you sure it's a person! Do you see clearly?" Lao Xu called out in surprise as he drove the car.
"I see it clearly! He's wearing a hoodie, and it's shabby...... Wearing a pair of tattered shorts, you can see his legs...... It's just a person! How can a ghost have legs!"
"Ouch, I'm relieved...... Did you see his face clearly?"
"I didn't see the face, he was wearing a coat and hat, and it was dark inside, and I couldn't see it clearly. ”
"It's really human......" Lao Xu sighed and continued to drive.
I sat in the driver's seat, looking at the lazy spaceship not far away, and it was not without a little gain after a busy day.
Now that I know that he is a person and not a ghost, from last night to now, the stone that pressed on my heart has finally disappeared, and Lao Xu has become much more relaxed.
After all...... People are better than ethereal ghosts.
Since he was alone, it is likely that he came to our car last night and looked at me coldly, out of curiosity about a few of us visitors.
Such a big valley, such a large grassland, deserted, it is normal for him to be curious about us. And it's not easy to get in, and it is estimated that few people have not come for hundreds of years.
"Wait!"
No one came?
"What's wrong, little Joan!"
"Oh my God...... That person can't be him......"
