Chapter 21: The Vanishing Man
I knew Guan Hao's experience, and maybe it could have some connection with the thirteen corpses found before, but I didn't expect that he would directly say Mina's name.
Those two words stimulated every nerve in my body.
I stopped and grabbed Guan Hao's shoulder: "You say...... What's her name?! ”
Guan Hao frowned, "Why did you react so violently?" Do you know that woman? ”
"What's her name......" and I just wanted to make sure I heard me wrong.
"Mina" Guan Hao looked at me.
His voice was very clear.
I, really, heard me right.
But why her? She met Guan Hao more than a month ago, so at the point in time more than a month ago, before we first came to Moshan? Or after?
"What is the relationship between you and that woman?" Guan Hao began to ask.
"I'll talk about that later. I wonder what she said to you. I mean, what is the secret of this mountain, the art of immortality that brings the dead back to life. ”
"Be quiet!" Guan Hao stopped me, and at the same time looked back, he seemed to never want more people to know the purpose of his visit, and my voice seemed to be a little noisy.
But the moment he turned around, Guan Hao was suddenly stunned, just behind the two of us, there was no one!
Only the long, dark passage from which it came.
In fact, the silence behind us has lasted for a long time, but because we were very concerned about the topic we were talking about just now, we didn't notice it.
"What about them?" Guan Hao asked me.
"Before you told the story, I looked back at Ruan Nana, and they were still there."
There was only one way to come, and there was no cover in this passage, and the five men had no motive, no chance, and no way to hide. Unless, while I was listening to Guan Hao's story, they found an entrance somewhere on either side of the passage and entered it without notifying us.
But that doesn't make sense.
"Strange, where will it go?" I took the flashlight and began to shine in the direction behind me, up and down, left and right, and the rock wall was intact, and there was no such thing as an entrance that I had speculated before.
"Is there a trap?" Guan Hao's voice was trembling, and he immediately walked back, while using his survival stick to test the ground we had walked on, but there was nothing special except slime. After that, we walked back a long distance, even to the fork in the original route, but there was still no sign of them.
shouted, and received no response.
Guan Hao and I were completely stunned.
Five big living people disappeared for no reason?
Guan Hao was a little flustered, facing the boulder at the fork in the road, he turned around in place, and suddenly turned around and grabbed my collar: "It's all you, if you don't talk so much, don't ask so much, we won't distance ourselves, and they will ...... They're not going to die, are they? Can't, can't die anymore, can't die any more......" Guan Hao's hand slipped from my neckline, and at the end of the sentence, his voice was full of despair.
"You haven't told me what the secrets of this place are."
"Now, you're still interested in asking that?"
"That's the only hope to find them!"
Guan Hao sat on the ground and nodded: "Okay, I'll say...... Actually, I record the map just for comparison. The woman told me that if I was lucky enough to enter Moshan and explore the woods, I would come across some marked trees and follow the markings on the trees to the sparse forest. Then, at the end of the mark, a cave will be found. The cave was a labyrinth, and she told me the inside of the labyrinth. I drew the route before, just to see if everything was the same as she said. ”
"What's in the labyrinth? That's the point! ”
"I don't know! How many times I said it, I don't know! All I know is that there is only one correct way to move through this labyrinth, and it will send us to the altar in the labyrinth, or the secret room, in short, the place we need to go! When you get there, you'll know how to save Nana when you get there......"
When he said this, Guan Hao's mental state was obviously very wrong, his eyes began to be bloodshot, and every word that came out of his mouth was hysterical.
Like this......
A little off.
A few minutes ago, he was fine, although he was very anxious because of the loss of his companion, but not to the point of madness.
And the way he looks now is a bit like ......
Like Cheng Haidong!
Right!
So, is it poisoning?
Is there some kind of poisonous substance in this mountain, or in this cave, that affects the human spirit?
Cheng Haidong didn't know what he had experienced before, but he was crazy and stupid in the end, and now Guan Hao is the same. Thinking of this, my heart began to feel uneasy, I don't know why Guan Hao was poisoned, but along the way, he didn't seem to do anything special, and our actions were almost synchronized, so if he was poisoned, I basically had no way to avoid it.
And, even so, we still can't explain why the other five people are missing.
"No, you can't rest, you have to find them...... Must find, can't ...... No one can die anymore, not one can die anymore...... Can't ......" At this time, Guan Hao suddenly came to his mental head, stood up with a roll, looked at his twisted body, I was ready to step forward to help, but at the moment when I was about to touch Guan Hao, a hand suddenly appeared behind me and grabbed me firmly!
There seemed to be a voice in my ears, but I couldn't hear what it was.
It was like someone was talking in my ear, and it was like a simple wind.
But the moment I looked back, I was surprised to find that there was nothing behind me......
But! The touch of that hand, it's still on me!
"This ......"
I froze in place, the strange scene made my heart cold, and cold sweat actually broke down my back.
"What's that?" I felt the power in my back, but the next moment, the power was increasing, as if there were a few more hands, and they were pulling at me at the same time, and my flesh ached!
At this time, Guan Hao suddenly shouted Ruan Nana's name, and then frantically rushed to the passage we had chosen earlier.
"Guan Hao!"
I called out to him, but he didn't seem to hear him, and he ran wildly without looking back.
I was pulled by the inexplicable force behind me, and the sound in my ears appeared intermittently, stimulating my ear canal, like thousands of small insects, down my ears, drilling in and out of my brain. I started to feel hot, my skin was swollen, and my eye pressure was increasing!
Thinking back to Guan Hao's gradual madness before, am I really ......
At that time, my brain was blank, and I instinctively shook off the invisible hands behind me and chased in the direction that Guan Hao had just run.
On the way to run, my flashlight fell, but the touch of the hand behind me that I couldn't shake off gave birth to a fear that I had never felt before, and I didn't dare to look back, let alone pick up the flashlight that fell on the ground. I can only run like a fly without a head.
The darkness swallowed me, I couldn't see the way forward, and my vision began to be confused, and the endless darkness turned into countless tiny, dense swarms of insects, and their center became a big mouth, just like the open jaws of those monsters outside the cave before!
The moment that mouth was about to devour me, I saw that the monster had a face hidden in its mouth, the face of a miserable white Mina!!
"Ah...... Ahh ”
There was a heart-rending scream from my mouth, and the next moment, the darkness was torn apart by the faint green light, and I saw several faces, including Yao Qianwen, Guan Dawei, Xia Nan, and Cheng Haidong, who looked at me with a smirk.
