Chapter 18: The Dungeon
After the evening self-study class, Li Wan and I went home together as usual. Li Wan's mood has improved a lot these days, so I took her to the food stall in front of the school to buy two fried noodles.
"Isn't that them?" Li Wan said suddenly.
I hurriedly put down the food in my hand, looked forward, and suddenly saw Han Wanting, Xiang Zhichuan, and Lu Lantai with long flowing hair.
Why do I bump into the three of them as soon as I eat? I deliberately slowed down, turned around slowly, and ate the rest of the chow mein in one gulp. Although I almost choked, I was afraid that they would see me eating, especially Han Wanting. What if he laughs at me again?
I wiped my mouth with my sleeve after eating. Just when I thought that all this was unaware, Han Wanting's shouting scared me so much that I almost lost my soul.
"You're sick! Scared the hell out of me! I glared at him angrily.
"I've seen you a long time ago. Anyway, you seem to eat supper every night, so you will gain weight......" Before he finished speaking, he was scolded back by me.
"Does my gain weight have anything to do with you? Have a finger in the pie! I glared at him.
Lu Lantai and Xiang Zhichuan saw that the situation was not good, so they all ran over and pulled Han Wanting to leave. Li Wan also persuaded me on the side.
Han Wanting was a little annoyed and angry, and her eyes were full of contempt. I couldn't get angry, so I grabbed him by the collar and said angrily, "Don't provoke me!" ”
Everyone present was frightened. Only Han Wanting was very calm. But he's very tall, and I'm tugging at his collar on tiptoe.
Passers-by looked at us curiously. Lu Lantai persuaded on the side: "Xiao He, don't be angry, girls will have wrinkles when they are angry......"
Xiang Zhichuan and Li Wan couldn't stand it anymore and were ready to pull us away. Han Wanting blocked: "Don't stop her." I'm going to see how long she can last. ”
It's clear that you won't give me the stairs, how can this person do this? My hands are really sore, too. But for the sake of face, I won't let go.
After a few minutes, he sensed that I couldn't hold on anymore and smiled a little smugly. After a while, he grabbed my wrists tightly with his strong hands, and said to me defiantly, "You can't hold on so soon?" Fight me, you're almost hot. ”
I angrily pulled my hand away and walked away without looking back. Li Wan trotted all the way up from behind, comforting me at the same time.
At the first traffic light intersection, Li Wan and I were separated. Before leaving, she patiently advised me: "Don't be angry, go home and rest early." I nodded, and just as the light was green, I crossed the street. I felt a little thirsty when I passed by the "Tian Tian Tian" bubble tea shop, so I decided to go in and buy something to drink.
As soon as I entered, I saw the familiar figure. The clerk's sister was dozing off on the cash register, and I walked up to her and gave her a gentle nudge. She jumped up from her seat at once, and she looked very cute when she just woke up.
"It's you. What do you want to have today? When she saw that it was me, she smiled happily.
"Let's have a cup of lemon tea today."
"What is lemon tea?" Her words made me feel very strange, usually sold in stores.
"And what do you have to drink now?" I'm not going to ask, what if I don't?
Without thinking, she replied: "The new Forget Love Water, Forget the Worry Water, and Restore the Divine Soup......"
I looked at her in amazement.
"You don't look good today, why don't you have a cup of soup?" Not allowing me to refuse, she quickly pulled out a packaged drink from under the counter, which looked about the same size as any other medium cup of milk tea.
"You're a friend of our store, so there's no charge." She playfully blinked her big nice eyes.
As if knowing what I was going to ask her next, she put her index finger to her lips and smiled mysteriously, "Shhhhhh Go home early. ”
Immediately afterward, I was pushed out of the store by an invisible force. The door closed automatically with a "bang". I subconsciously looked up and found that the name of the store had changed to "Meet the Destined Person" again.
Something is really wrong with this store. But the clerk's sister didn't seem to have any malice. But I still have a question in my heart, why didn't she sell these last time I brought Li Wan here?
I walked with questions as I looked at the soup curiously. In the end, I couldn't help but take a sip. only to find that the taste turned out to be bubble tea flavor.
However, there seems to be a little bit of indescribable feeling in the taste. After I took a sip, I suddenly realized that my mind had become clear. My eyes, which were short-sighted, were able to see my surroundings very clearly.
Although that shop is very strange, this forgetful water, huishen soup or something, seems to be really useful. I'm even thinking about trying something else next time......
When I get home, I always feel like there's someone behind me. I immediately became vigilant and ran away. The wind chimes did not ring, indicating that the person behind him was not a ghost.
Could it be Wang Ming? The thought of his sad smile downstairs that night made me tremble. I ran and prayed that nothing would happen, but the accident happened.
The back of my head was suddenly hit hard with a stick, and my eyes went black, and I immediately lost consciousness and passed out to the ground.
As soon as I woke up, I got out of bed in shock. This bed, along with some other furniture, is exactly the same as the last time I saw it in my dreams after drinking the water! What's going on here? Did I cross over?
I hurried to the door, only to find that it had been locked. I tried to open the window and escape, but the window was already sealed.
What am I going to do?
At this time, there seemed to be someone outside the door. I tiptoed into the door, only to hear an ethereal, ghostly voice creeping into my ears.
"Awake?" The man asked slowly.
Only then did I realize that she had already found me. I strengthened my courage and asked her tentatively, "Who are you?" ”
"You'll find out later." With that, the woman laughed contemptuously. Immediately after that, the figure disappeared into thin air. I kicked the door in frustration and turned to sit down in my chair.
After about a long time, the sleepiness was flooding, and I fell asleep on the table before I knew it. Before I could sleep for a while, a pair of cold hands were placed on my shoulders, and I shook my head and stood up at once.
"Is that you?" I let out a startled cry and took several steps back.
Jiang Yue walked towards me mechanically. Her eyes looked hollow. I don't know where I got the courage, so I quickly blocked the chair next to me. Once she's going to come and attack me, I'll use this to defend myself.
She didn't mean to stop at all, but approached me step by step. Just a few steps away from me, she stopped suddenly. Her mouth opened and closed, and I listened carefully before I heard her faint voice: "Save Zeng Ke." ”
I was stunned, but I didn't let my guard down: "Why did you let me save?" ”
She knelt on the ground with a "bang", I was afraid of fraud, so I hesitated for a while, but seeing her kneeling like that all the time, I was moved by compassion. Eventually, I pushed her out of the chair and helped her up. As soon as I got close to her, a foul smell came to my face.
I sighed helplessly: "It's a question whether I can go out or not, how can I help you save Zeng Ke?" ”
She seemed to be getting weaker and weaker. The rancid stench on her body was getting stronger.
"That man in black can get you out. You drop a drop of blood on the wind chime and summon the man in black who saved you last time. Zeng Ke is in the dungeon, please save him and take him out. She gave me a pleading look. With that, he waved his hand back, and the door opened automatically.
I nodded in agreement.
With a crescent moon overhead, we walked all the way through the courtyard, the cloister, and in a long circle until we reached the foot of a big tree. Strangely, I didn't see anyone along the way. But I don't care about that much.
Jiang Yue walked under the very thick tree, suddenly lowered her head and bit her finger, and the finger was dripping with dark red blood, dripping to the ground. But soon two white and deadly hands suddenly stretched out from the ground, and I couldn't help but look at it. At this point, the soil beneath our feet began to collapse. Now, it's too late to run. With a loud "boom" sound, Jiang Yue and I fell down at the same time.
After a few tens of seconds, we landed on a flat ground. The ground was littered with the bones of Bai Sensen. At the same time, I can clearly hear the rats shuttling through the human bones under my feet. I asked Jiang Yue with some trepidation: "Where is Zeng Ke?" ”
Jiang Yue pointed at a huge pit not far away. I looked in that direction for a moment and continued to follow her.
As soon as we approached the pit, we were blown away by the scene in front of us. The pit is densely packed with black poisonous snakes, scorpions, centipedes and the like, which makes people's scalps tingle when they look at it. If Zeng Ke was really here, I'm afraid he would have died a long time ago. No wonder he came to me that day with a blur of flesh and blood, it turned out that these things had killed him.
When I think of this, I feel a chill in my heart. Who was going to hurt him like this, and why did that person arrest me again? If I hadn't escaped, would I have been devoured by these things like him?
Jiang Yue covered her mouth and suppressed her emotions that were about to collapse. Tears wet her clothes. She shouted "Zeng Ke" into the pit in disbelief, but there was no response for a long time. There was already a black pressure in the big pit, and I patted Jiang Yue on the shoulder and comforted her.
She cried so much that she couldn't help herself in the last second, but this second she laughed a little crazy. She suddenly jumped into the pit. Soon, some poisonous snakes, scorpions and the like crawled on her body.
In desperation, I bit my finger and dripped blood onto the wind chime. In about a few seconds, a gust of wind struck, and a man dressed in white fell from the sky. He wore a hat with a white veil, exactly like the one I saw in my dreams.
In a hurry, I didn't care so much, I dragged him and shouted: "Brother Yincha, please save Jiang Yue, she will die if she continues like this!" ”
He didn't speak, but kept standing across from me and looking at me. Probably because he was too anxious to see me, he glanced unhurriedly into the pit. I didn't see his expression because of the white veil, but I can guess that he must have been shocked at this time.
He suddenly took out a large Brahma bell from his sleeve and shook it a few times, reciting a few incantations in his mouth. In a short time, the poisonous insects turned into a puddle of black water, and then all disappeared.
Seeing this, I ran to the side of the pit and wanted to save Jiang Yue. But as soon as I saw the bottom of the pit, I was stunned. At the bottom of the pit, there were two white bones in a hugging posture.
