Chapter 8: The Head

What are you doing? Close it, that thing is coming out! The thief stared at the storage room behind me, and her face changed suddenly.

But I didn't understand what she meant, and I was still wondering why she was so alarmed, so I didn't close the door in the first place. When I turned my head again, I saw a scene that I will never forget in my life.

I saw a fanged and red-eyed head hanging in the air staring at me.

By the time I could react, it had opened its mouth, as if it was about to swallow me in one gulp.

Just as the head was about to bite me, the female thief behind me pulled me hard. Then, with her strong hand, she dragged me in the direction of the stairs.

The head saw that the food in its mouth was flying, and after a roar, it followed.

It was so fast that it had already followed us before we even reached the stairs. But it shifted its target at this point, and instead of attacking me, it attacked the female thief instead.

I was about to warn her, but the speed of her head suddenly increased a lot. Before I could say anything, it had already grown into the mouth of the female thief and wanted to bite down.

However, the female thief seemed to have been prepared, and when her head opened wide, the female thief suddenly shrank her head, lowered her body, and at the same time turned around and kicked the head.

With a muffled grunt, he was kicked against the wall by the female thief, and then fell to the ground motionless.

I saw that the danger was gone, and I wanted to breathe a sigh of relief and go up and see what was going on with that head. As a result, the female thief pulled me up and ran frantically again.

I was puzzled and hurriedly asked her, "What's the matter?" Why do you want to run again?"

"If you don't want to die, don't talk." After the female thief dropped this sentence, she ignored me.

I subconsciously glanced back, only to see that there were a few more heads behind me that were desperately chasing us.

"Damn, why are there so many?" I screamed, and my footsteps quickened.

Soon, we ran to the top of the stairs. At the signal of the female thief, she and I worked together to close the fire door at the staircase.

Shortly after the fire door was closed, there was a "thump" sound on the door. Obviously, those heads didn't know how to open the door yet, and they kept banging on the door.

Seeing that the thief showed no signs of running away, I was finally able to lean against the wall and breathe for a while.

"That...... Whoever you bring here, or seal this basement? At this time, the female thief suddenly spoke.

I nodded casually and asked her again, "What are those things, and why are they here?"

"Well, you can think of it as a kind of head lowering, after all, this thing is similar to the head lowering." The thief explained, waving her hand impatiently, "Okay, you go up to your friend, remember, I saved your life again, you have to return the favor to me." ”

"What......" I muttered, but I didn't know how to explain it, after all, they were right.

I was about to leave, when I suddenly thought of something, and immediately stopped: "What about you, where are you going?" ”

"Don't go anywhere, just wait here." The female thief suddenly changed her words, and said with a gloomy face, "Wait for you to remember me." ”

In the next second, the female thief suddenly stretched out a hand and slapped it in front of me. For a moment, I was plunged into darkness before my eyes.

When the surroundings lit up again, I found myself trapped in a memory, because the scene around me seemed to be real but very vague, and it was already a phenomenon that should be in a dream memory.

At this time, I was on a path paved with yellowing autumn leaves. And around it is the kind of old-style community building.

Immediately afterward, a few children ran past me happily. I took a closer look and found that one of them turned out to be me?!

When have I ever played in this place, and how do I not know? Moreover, it doesn't look like my hometown or the community in Fangchenggang. So, where is this?

I thought as I continued to watch me play with the group of children.

Soon, I got tired of playing, so I sat down on a small stone chair to rest by myself. Immediately after, a little girl came over with two bottles of drink in her hand. She sat down right next to me and split one of the bottles.

I took the drink and drank it without saying a word. The little girl was just laughing on the side.

Who is she?

I hesitated for a moment to remember what the girl looked like, but for some reason, I couldn't quite see her face.

The next second, it was dark in front of my eyes again. When the surroundings lit up again, I was startled by a thunderclap. I found myself in a cave with lightning and thunder outside.

I hesitated and slowly walked out of the cave. Not far from the cave, there were three people standing.

One of them had his back to me, holding a black kyanite glass box in his hand. In front of him, the female thief was lying on the ground, spurting blood.

I was shocked and subconsciously wanted to go up to help, but remembering that this was just a fragment of memory, I had to hold back.

I saw the man with his back to me slowly lifting the black glass box. In the midst of the lightning and thunder, the glass box let out a burst of chirps, and the expression on the female thief's face became frightened.

In the next second, the black box opened, and a lot of black mist emerged, enveloping the female thief.

When the black fog cleared, the female thief on the ground had disappeared, and the box had closed with a "click". The man looked at the box and nodded in satisfaction.

At this time, I saw that near the man, there was a girl hiding behind a rock, quietly watching this scene. But I could only see the girl's side face from this direction. But that's enough, because I seem to know the owner of that silhouette......

But then, I was plunged into darkness again. I thought it would be another memory fragment this time, but I waited for a long time, and no new sight appeared.

Is it gone, or what's going on?

I wondered, and a sudden pain in my back caused me to fall to my knees......

"What's going on? How are you lying here? Hey, what's going on in the basement?"

Boss Ye's voice came.

I slowly opened my eyes, only to see Boss Ye and Ah Cheng beside me and keep calling me.

I tried to stand up, but the pain in my back didn't go away. I looked around and saw that the thief was gone, and the fire door to the basement was open, and there were a few heads scattered on the floor inside the door, which were the same ones that had been chasing us before.

"What's going on on there?" I pointed to the heads and said in horror.

"We don't know, Ah Cheng and I were looking for you in the whole building, and suddenly there was a loud noise in the basement, so I went down with him. I saw you lying here, and there were a few heads at the door. Boss Ye explained.

I patted my head, recalled what happened before, and then told Boss Ye and Ah Cheng about it in 1510.

After he had listened to it all in silence, I asked, "When you came down, did you see the thief again?" ”

When Ah Cheng heard this, he frowned: "At that time, two black shadows flashed out, but we didn't choose to chase ......."

"That's right......" I nodded, trying to stand up again.

"It seems that the six-fingered guy has been here, otherwise I wouldn't have suddenly felt pain, I think he did it while I was remembering." I said as I walked, all the way to a head.

I looked at the collapsed head and kicked it, and it turned into a mess of powder.

"What's going on?" Confused, I looked at the other heads and saw that they had all turned into powder.

"Oops, it turned to ashes." Boss Ye behind him screamed and stomped his feet.

"It's okay, there should be the body of this thing in the storage room, let's go take a look." With a wave of my hand, I beckoned Boss Ye and Ah Cheng to follow.

The open storage room has a strange atmosphere because of the previous heads.

The three of us huddled together and walked in. After entering the door, Boss Ye turned on the switch of the wall light. The storage room suddenly lit up.

"Holy, dry corpse?" As I walked ahead, I saw a broken chair at the end of the storage room, where a dried corpse was sitting.

"It looks like he's been dead for several years, do you know Boss Ye?" Ah Cheng walked over without any taboo and touched the dried corpse with his hand.

Boss Ye followed, looked at the corpse carefully, and then shook his head and said, "I don't know, it's all like this, how can I recognize it?"

"Here's the ID card, Feng Yueqing. Boss Ye, your family?" Ah Cheng held up the ID card found from the corpse.

When Boss Ye heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then grabbed his ID card, looking incredulous: "Impossible, didn't this guy go to Southeast Asia." How did you die in this storeroom?"

"Aha? You don't even know that this dude has been dead for so long?" I was puzzled and looked at the dried corpse again, "I heard the female thief mention that these heads can be said to be descending heads, and descending heads originated in Southeast Asia, which seems to be right." ”

"No one usually comes in this storage room, and this dude ...... How to say it, he is a distant relative of mine, originally my father was arranged to be a lobby manager in this hotel, but this guy is not good at work, and later went to gamble with others, so my father fired him. I didn't know about this guy later......"

Boss Ye said a lot, in short, it means that he doesn't know how this person died here, but this person is idle, maybe he provoked someone, so he died here.

But that's not the point, because Ah Cheng found something on this corpse again. There's a photo in it that I touched in the last memory clip.

The photo shows the scene outside the cave, and the back of the photo reads taken on the thousand-year-old black mountain in Guangxi, Myanmar.

This is where the black kyanite glass box was excavated......
