Chapter 55: Suicide
I just looked at the "stone corpse" in front of me, so I couldn't help but be startled when the lights in the darkness around me gradually lit up one after another.
"Who."
I looked around vigilantly, and the dagger stuck in the crack of the brick was instantly pulled out.
The light that gradually lit up all around me surrounded me in the center, and my whole body was in a "warm" atmosphere at this moment, which was extremely comfortable.
The breath of a long time enveloped me like sunshine.
I covered the stinging light with my hand and watched the flickering flames around me to realize it.
"It turns out that the stone lamps here are connected to each other, and once the grease is lit, it will quickly melt and pass on to the next stone lamp."
This kind of mechanism setting is very similar to some measures about ancient tombs in the novel, and it even gave me a delusion.
It is as if I am not in an underground fortification left by the Japanese army, but a large tomb.
"Ugh..."
"This kind of crystallization of wisdom left by our ancestors is difficult for others to learn the essence, but it was used by those invaders who burned, killed and looted to build underground fortifications."
I sighed, and an inexplicable feeling suddenly welled up in my heart.
Turning to look at the stone corpse just now, he observed it for a long time, and finally gave up the mystery of petrification.
Now what I should be thinking about is how to escape alive, as for the mysteries in front of me, I should leave it to a hundred years later.
The surrounding stone lamps appeared in two rows on the left and right, sweeping away the darkness and instantly becoming extremely bright.
The cold wind in the abyss blew in through the gaps on both sides of the stone platform, piercing my skin tightly like a knife.
The biting chill made me shiver.
Looking at the stone steps in front of me, I couldn't help but be a little curious.
What kind of place is this, and why can't we find any relics related to the Japanese army.
The scenes I experienced outside the corridor pierced my nerves, and although I couldn't recall it several times, I wanted to hide it in my heart as long as possible and not touch it.
Brother Leng's death was like a steel knife that pierced into my heart, and although I wanted to escape, I had to face it in the end.
I sat on the floor, and next to me was a stone lamp covered in mystical patterns, but radiating warmth.
I opened my backpack casually, took out one of the cigarettes inside, and lit it to my mouth.
The fantastic white smoke slowly flowed down the nasal cavity into the body, and in an instant, it seemed that even the spirit was lifted a hundred times.
"Whew..."
I took a deep breath, pulled out another one, and lit it.
Place it on the stone lamp next to it and watch it burn quietly.
His gaze inadvertently rested on the worn-out map exposed outside his backpack.
I sat on the floor and bent down to pull it out with great difficulty.
Spread it out towards the light behind him.
On the map in front of me, the intricate lines made me a little dizzy.
I carefully discerned the direction and route I had come, and for a moment I felt a chill on my spine.
I covered my scalp with both hands, and it felt like it was going to explode.
"TM's... How is this possible.... ”
I stared at the route marked on the map, only to find that the place I was stepping on at the moment was blank.
It's not on the map at all!
"TM, it's really wicked."
I gritted my teeth and yelled at the air.
It's a kind of self-suggestion that I use to face my deep, unknown fears.
Maybe saying two cruel words can make you less afraid, but you never thought about it, and finally it gradually became a habit.
The cold hair stood up, and the defense line in his heart almost collapsed.
It was quiet all around, and I was the only one alive, as if I was walking on the edge of hell.
I suppressed the fear in my heart and kept telling myself to calm down and face the situation in front of me.
But in fact, this is easier said than done.
Vaguely, I felt that there were more people behind me.
The corpse of the stone statue seemed to move, and the only remaining eye twisted up and down, gradually regaining its bloody color.
I snapped my eyes shut and turned the tip of my dagger to my chest, and a sense of sadness rushed in.
"Ahh
I yelled with my eyes closed.
I really can't help it anymore, there is weirdness everywhere here, when Brother Leng and his comrades sacrificed.
I had thoughts of suicide, and now that there is no way out of life, perhaps death is the best relief.
It can free me from the horrors and torments that come along the way, whether it is reincarnation or a lonely ghost.
I admit it all.
The sharp edge of the dagger pierced into my skin little by little, and I could even feel the heartbeat rate coming from the hilt.
"Poof... Poof..."
Sweat mixed with dust washed out a muddy small ditch on the face.
I closed my eyes and gritted my teeth.
The arms that clenched the dagger raised in the air at this moment.
"Oops."
Due to swinging too high and using too much force, the left wrist joint was directly installed with the corner of the stone lamp, and the blood flowed in an instant.
I grinned in pain, covered my palms and cried out in pain, and the sharp dagger fell to the ground.
The wind around me made a strange noise, like an ownerless soul wandering here, laughing at my stupidity.
"Cluck..., cluck...."
A gust of gloomy wind blew through the cracks above the stone lamp, making a sneering sound, which looked even more eerie against the backdrop of the eerie environment.
Although I knew that it was just the sound of the air current, all kinds of unwillingness in my heart was mixed with fear of the unknown.
Burst out in an instant.
"TM, is it so hard to die, okay?"
"I have to poke a hole in this place today and walk out alive with a swagger."
I let out a roar of rage, lifted my kick, and knocked the stone kick in front of me to the ground.
"Boom..."
The stone lamp shook a few times, and then fell backwards, flickering with grease lights.
Falling straight into the dark abyss, I slowly walked over, looking at the red light, a little depressed in the darkness.
Until I couldn't see the shadow clearly, I didn't hear the slightest echo.
I took a deep breath and sat on the ground with glazed eyes, and suddenly realized something.
It turns out that people live in the world, and sometimes it is really better to live than to die, but it is difficult to die.
The laughter of Brother Leng and his comrades-in-arms came to my ears, and I wanted to be with them at the moment, but I was afraid when they saw me.
All the vows became empty words, and they would ask me with a dejected expression why I gave up halfway.
A heavy tiredness instantly permeated my heart.
Come to think of it, I haven't closed my eyes for three days and three nights.
Except for that time when I was separated from the team and was in a coma for a while, I really don't know what kind of strength has allowed me to hold me up until now.
The laceration on my calf made me frown a little.
I lowered my head, glanced at the strip of white cloth that I had used as a bandage, and tightened it a little more.
Blood came out and directly stained the ankles.
