Chapter Twenty-Eight: Single

Previous Chapter

The fire rushed towards me fiercely, and I hurriedly pushed to the wall on the side, who expected that where I was propped up, the wall shook inexplicably. A space appeared behind the wall, and I fell into it.

The wall was like a revolving door, I just fell in with my front feet, and when I looked back behind me, the angry "fire dragon" was trying to follow me in and devour me, the revolving door spun again, and with a low "bang", the wall closed firmly.

I sat on the floor with a confused expression, and when the wall closed again, it was back in darkness.

The whole person was trapped in darkness, and the only thing left in front of me was black, not even my own fingers could see.

I panicked around my body, touching the ground, and I was hoping to get some hints from this unknown environment.

"Jing Che! Jing Che! ”

During this time, I may be accustomed to Jing Che coming out to solve my problems whenever I am at a loss, but at this moment, I think of Jing Che again. I don't know if I'm too dependent on him now.

But I kept calling him several times, I don't know if Jing Che was afraid of the dark, and now he disappeared from my side all at once, and he couldn't even see a shadow.

I fell silent, remembering what Jing Che had said to me in that lab earlier.

At that time, one after another sewing people woke up from the glass jar, and Jing Che used his own energy to limit the actions of the sewing people in order to buy me some time to light the fire.

After that, it seems that the energy is exhausted, and it is said that it will not come out for a while, and it will be adjusted to return to energy.

Thinking of this, when I was alone in this dark space, I suddenly felt lonely like never before.

Unconsciously disappointed, my body went limp, and I fell backwards weakly.

"Ouch, I'll go!"

But I didn't expect it, at first I thought it was an empty, hidden, dark space. I wanted to simply stop worrying about where I was, just lie down and sleep on the spot.

But I fell backwards like this, and the back of my head unexpectedly hit a hard place.

Unexpectedly, such a knock made me defenseless at all, and I screamed out in pain all of a sudden.

I got up from the ground, touching the back of my head with one hand and reaching out to the place where my head had touched with the other.

Sure enough, not far in front of me, I actually touched a thick wall.

Then I turned around, lifted one foot, and kicked forward.

The distance was just right, and I kicked it out and hit a wall on the other side.

In this way, I have a better idea of where I am.

"It's really strange here, it's either a mysterious room, or a secret passage hidden behind a wall for some reason. Can't there be a few normal places on this island? This.. I managed to escape the imposing flame pursuit, and I shook off the sewing man who looked like an immortal body. Now I don't know if it can be counted as a coincidence, and I came to a secret passage again. To be reasonable, during this time, I always feel that I am walking in a secret passage, staying in the dark every day, is this still a human being! ”

I thought that the flames that were chasing me before should have burned almost to the fire, and there wasn't much to burn in this empty hallway.

I turned around and tried to push the rotating wall behind me, but it backfired, and the wall I had pushed without a single push was now filled with glue through the cracks. No matter how much I pushed, how much I punched and pounded against the wall.

At this point, I was facing an ordinary wall, and I couldn't see anything like a revolving door.

"Big brother! It's okay to give face, you let me in when I don't want to come in, and you don't let me go out when I want to go out. What the hell is this? ”

I kept whining against the wall, pounding my hands against the wall, hoping that the revolving door was just old, a little rusty, like so many that I could slap it out again with a few hits.

Just when I was about to despair in the face of this immovable wall, the back of my head where I had hit the wall before felt a faint pain.

"Hey! Wait a minute! ”

The slight pain made me realize something.

I quickly gave up the idea of slapping the revolving door and walked out, and instead went back and tried to regain the spot I had been sitting in.

But there was no light, and it was completely dark, so I had to hold on to the wall with one hand and move my steps slowly with my feet.

With my senses, after taking a few steps forward, I thought I had reached the general direction, so I knelt on the ground, and slowly stretched out my hand towards the wall over there, tentatively and cautiously touching the wall on that side.

I touched the wall back and forth for a long time, but the wall was smooth and smooth, and nothing strange seemed to happen.

"This can't be, why is there nothing on this wall, I obviously hit something just now?"

"That's right! There's something! This should be it! ”

I continued to touch the wall for a long time, and as I expected, there was a protruding place on this flat wall. The protruding volume is not large, if you don't touch it carefully, I'm afraid that you will jump over it if you are careless.

But it was too dark to get around, and I felt the bulge with my hand, but I couldn't figure out what it really was.

"What the hell is this?"

I felt it, touching it, and imagining what I had in my hand.

But just as I was thinking about it, I didn't know if my hand was too hard, and I only heard a "pop".

I pressed the protruding spot down and into the wall.

It didn't take long for the sound of commotion to echo in the narrow space.

"I'll go, this can't be some mechanism, right?"

I think of the novels I used to read, which often mentioned that there were many mechanisms in the tombs of ancient kings, and some small thieves who robbed tombs were often like me, stepping on or touching some small buttons on the wall on the ground to open the mechanisms in the tomb. After that, countless poisonous arrows flew out of the walls, and it was as if the ground suddenly collapsed, or the thick poisonous gas was released to fill the corridors, and all kinds of mechanisms took the lives of these people.

I watched the movement around me, and prayed in my heart that it would not happen to me because of the plot in the novel.

The soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, and since the matter has come to this point, there is no place to run, so they can only stay here obediently.

I nervously leaned against the wall, holding my breath and not daring to move, watching what strange things were going to happen in front of me.

"Brush Brush Brush"

I'm anxious to wait for some agency to appear in front of me, and if I die here today, I can only appoint it, after all, it's the most normal thing for something unreasonable to happen on this island.

But maybe I was too nervous, and in the hidden space behind the wall, there were no quicksand arrows as I thought.

Instead, there was a sound of "brushing" one after another, and on the walls on both sides, one after another oil lamps were automatically lit, like dominoes, one by one, illuminating the secret room where I was at this time.

It's more like another corridor behind a wall than a secret room.

As the place was slowly lit up, the darkness was dispelled little by little. I could see where I was, and right in front of me, step after step came out in front of me. And I'm standing at the top of these stairs.

"Hey, so there's still a road here."

I was somewhat surprised to see such a scene here.

Speaking from the heart, looking at this endless staircase leading down to the depths below, if I can stay in place for the rest of my life, I won't take a step to kill me, I have discovered this island, the more roads you take, the more mysteries you uncover, and the things you find are more unreasonable than the other.

Looking at the road in front of me, I could only swallow my saliva helplessly, even if my heart was a little empty, and now Jing Che was not around, and I didn't feel steady. But I have some hope in my heart that this is another way out.

I pulled myself together a bit and started walking down.

I was surprised that the stairs were long.

I was afraid that something would happen on this step, so I carefully leaned against the wall and walked on the step.

This time I had an extra mind, and it was hard to remember the time and the distance of the steps underground, so I remembered one step for each step.

“793。。。 794。。。 795。。。 900”

Unconsciously walked more than 900 steps, I looked at the steps in front of me as if they had not yet reached the end, looking back, this step from the bottom to the top, like a staircase stretching down from the sky.

“1358。。。 1359。。 1360”

This step by step made me more and more sleepy the more I counted.

But just as I was counting to almost 1,500 poles, I was surprised to find that the steps under my feet actually stopped here.

By this time I was standing on a flat ground.

As I looked down and counted the steps, my neck was low and straight, and I raised my neck and turned it back and forth, rubbing the back of my neck with my hands.

When the sourness subsided, I began to look around.

The oil lamps on both sides of the walkway, when they arrived here, began to extend to both sides, and after a circle, they converged about twenty or thirty meters in front of me.

This dim light illuminates this claustrophobic space and makes me feel a little depressed.

And in the middle of the room, I saw a long table with a pile of books stacked on top of it, and at the edge of the table, I could clearly see a man holding his hands on the table, looking at the books on the table.

But what surprised me even more was that

The man standing at that table!

It's none other than one of the other lost classmates I'm looking for!

"Summer?"
