Chapter 20: Confession
"I have to say, Zora, you are indeed very imaginative."
Guan Hao's voice was very low.
Having said that, I don't think there's any need for him to continue lying, after all, I've distanced myself from the team behind me, just to tell him that I'm willing to keep some of the secrets for him.
"Say it."
"I've never been here, but I've heard a legend about the ...... here."
"I don't want to hear you make up stories." I directly interrupted Guan Hao.
"......" Guan Hao was silent.
We kept moving forward like this, and after walking for a long time, he spoke: "I can't talk anymore, I have nothing to say, that short line is my habit, you can't explain anything." ”
He refused to answer, but I didn't panic, I expected him to do this.
Moreover, Guan Hao's sophistry itself may be more interesting than the "truth" he said.
That said, it's important, and it could be a matter of life and death. Our collective life and death. I said as if to myself.
At that moment, I seemed to be able to hear Guan Hao's heartbeat.
"Let me guess," I continued, "who among us is the most valuable life to you?" You, and Ruan Nana, you obviously know something, about this mountain, about this cave. And what you know, it's dangerous, but it's not 100% without a survival rate, and you don't say it, it's to leave that low probability of survival chance to you, or Ruan Nana, or the two of you. ”
"Stop talking nonsense." There was a hint of anger in Guan Hao's voice.
"I'm not done yet, what I'm going to say next is the point."
"I don't want to hear it, Guan Dawei! Come on, you two change positions! Zola says he's tired! Guan Hao suddenly shouted at the back of the team.
I waved my hand and responded, "No." ”
"Don't panic so much, I didn't plan to shout out my speculation, besides, people may not believe it, like you said, I just guessed that there is no evidence."
"What else do you want to say?"
I glanced back and looked at Ruan Nana, who was supported by Yao Qianwen and Xia Nan, "Do you know, you told me before that Nana has always had a desire to climb the mountain, right?" ”
"Is there a problem...... Guan Hao's voice "trembled".
"I used to have a friend who was unfortunately terminally ill and he did what he wanted to do but didn't do before he died. It's really scary to think about death, the colors you can see right now, the sounds you can hear, the things you can touch...... All of this will come to naught, even yourself. So before dying, it will make people more open, do you understand what the word 'let go' means? ”
"What do you mean?" He asked.
"You're all going to disappear, is there anything else that can limit you? So my friend, in the end, enjoyed the happiness that he had never had before, he didn't have to worry about the future life, he could do what he wanted to do before, but he didn't dare to do because of the eyes of others. ”
"......" Guan Hao did not respond.
I continued, "But Nana, she doesn't seem to be enjoying the climb. ”
"Everyone will stay for a short time for the scenery, only her, those eyes, are like two black holes. I guess even if she wasn't sick, she wouldn't have the slightest interest in mountaineering, right? You have good acting skills, but unfortunately, your girlfriend didn't cooperate with you. ”
Guan Hao finally stopped, "But you also have secrets, don't you." ”
When he said this, he was acquiesced.
"What the hell is this place?" Before he asks me, I ask questions.
"Altar ......"
"Altar?"
"Yes, an altar, or a temple, or some kind of ritual location, that's the kind of place."
"I don't understand what you say." I need Guan Hao to give me the information he knows carefully.
"You see Nana, she's dying, but I don't want her to die...... Remember, what I said before, the legend about immortality, there is that legend in Moshan, and I came to it. ”
"Do you think normal people would believe these things?"
Guan Hao shook his head.
I asked, "Then why do you believe it?" Because of a legend, he brought his terminally ill girlfriend to find hope? You thought filming? ”
"I ......"
That's when I asked the question I wanted to ask the most: "Do you know anyone who has been here before?" ”
"I'm ......," Guan Hao's head shook slightly.
I didn't wait for him to finish speaking, and continued to ask: "You know a social group, the ID is ********, and it is some people who love adventure, and they occasionally organize a few friends to go on adventure trips to some deep mountains and old forests. A few of the active users, whose online names are ......" I said, the group of thirteen deceased people before Mina gathered, and the screen names of several of them.
Guan Hao continued to shake his head: "I really haven't heard of these, I did get information about Moshan from a person. But whether she has been here or not, I don't know. ”
"Then why do you believe that man?"
I don't think someone would believe a legend for no reason, even if he was in a state of extreme collapse and despair.
Unless, that person has done something else.
Sure enough, there is also the following, Guan Hao continued to tell the story of him and Ruan Nana.
That was also a month ago, when Ruan Nana's condition suddenly deteriorated, and Guan Hao and his family had been notified to prepare for the worst. Guan Hao still remembers the color of the sky that day, it was dim that he had never seen before, and he felt that the air was thin and impossible to breathe. But he didn't seem to need to breathe, he just sat outside the door of the hospital room, like a dead man.
Then a woman appeared and asked him who the people were inside.
Guan Hao's answer was: his beloved.
The woman said that it was a coincidence that her beloved was also dying.
So, she sat next to Guan Hao and gently stroked his head, like a mother comforting an injured child. At that moment, Guan Hao actually felt inexplicable warmth and peace of mind, as if the world had become kind again in an instant.
This feeling of stability made Guan Hao have a strange liking and dependence on this woman.
She said that she wanted to go in to see Ruan Nana, and Guan Hao agreed. After that, there were only him, the woman and Ruan Nana in the ward, Guan Hao began to tell their past stories, not so earth-shattering, but he was so intoxicated that he didn't notice that the woman had stuffed anything into Ruan Nana's mouth!
When he found out, Ruan Nana had already begun to convulse all over, foaming at the mouth, and then black particles crawled out of her seven holes, the size of sesame seeds, like a swarm of insects!
Guan Hao frantically grabbed the woman's neck, and at this time, Ruan Nana's gentle voice came from behind her, and she woke up. This is the third day she has been in a coma and she finally woke up! And the complexion looks exactly the same as a normal person! At that moment, Guan Hao was carried away by happiness, and even wanted to kneel in front of the woman to thank her, but the woman said that this method could not really save Ruan Nana, and could only temporarily renew her life.
And that place is Moshan.
"So the message, it was left by this woman." I confirm.
Guan Hao nodded, "Yes, but I really don't know anything about her...... Oh no, I remember, she seems to have left a name, and I remember it was a coincidence that she also had the word Na in her name, called ...... It's like it's called, it's called Mina. ”
