Chapter 18: The Sound of a Heartbeat Underground
A few minutes later, in a room on the second floor of the experimental area full of dust and various chemicals, I put Yang Mengqing down with sweat profusely, and I finally breathed a sigh of relief.
In fact, it is not far from the reservoir to where we are now, and the reason why I sweat so much is not because I am tired, but because I am scalded by Yang Mengqing. In just a few minutes, all the wet clothes wrapped around Yang Mengqing's body were dried, and when I put Yang Mengqing down, even the clothes on my body were dry.
Looking at Yang Mengqing, who was still unconscious on the ground, Sydney and I were very worried, but we couldn't find a way to cool her down for a while, and our mood became more and more dull.
I have nothing to do about the problems that happened to Yang Mengqing, the old turtle is well-informed, but the phone in the laboratory building can't get through at all, for today's plan, only get the rest of the gossip cards quickly and repair the seal, only in this way can we get out of here, and then ask the old turtle for help.
It is urgent to find the gossip card, but with Yang Mengqing's current state, it is definitely impossible for me to bring her, otherwise let alone seal the evil spirit, it is already good not to be scalded into a roast pig.
After thinking about it, I could only discuss with Sydney, let her stay where she was and take care of Yang Mengqing, and let me go out to find the two gossip cards of Shengmen and Dumen.
Hearing that I was going to leave alone, Sydney was reluctant at first, her fear of the three black-robed people had been deeply rooted in her bones, what if the black-robed people found this room when I left?
I've been thinking about Sydney's concerns for a long time, and I've already had a way to deal with it.
Judging from the behavior of the black-robed people described by Sydney just now, they should also be looking for those gossip cards, and the knight armor they saw in Sydney was the evil spirit sealed in the shocking door, and the black-robed man killed the knight's armor, and the other half of the gold-lettered plate of the shocking door was likely to have fallen into the hands of the black-robed people.
And if their target is also those gossip cards, then the headless murderous corpse that Yang Mengqing later caused Shui Dongyin to lead to is also the target of the black-robed man.
At that time, Sydney fled, and the black-robed man did not immediately catch up, but only sent a few imps, indicating that they were entangled with the headless murderous corpse at that time, and they couldn't get out of it for a while.
Even if the little ghost was caught by Yang Mengqing later, only a black-robed man chased after him, which is two possibilities, one is that they are very confident that only one person can recapture the escaped person, and the other is that they divided two people to deal with the headless murderous corpse, and the other person is responsible for catching the escaped Sydney and others.
The first situation is unlikely, because even if that one black-robed person has enough strength to catch the escapees, there are five people who escape, and the entire experimental building is so big, as long as they go separately, no matter how powerful the black-robed person is, he will always be just one person, and it is impossible to capture five at the same time, it will inevitably waste a lot of time, why should they waste time?
Therefore, the second situation is the closest to the truth, they are also plotting gossip cards, since the murderous corpse has found the door, they will easily take the half of the murderous corpse's earthen card, and save the trouble later.
However, the black-robed man may have greatly underestimated the horror of the headless corpse, Master Tiantong once said that the evil spirit sealed in the death door is the most terrifying of the eight evil spirits, and that is only talking about a ghast with a zombie head.
However, the headless murderous corpse I saw at the door of death was just the opposite, with a body and no head, although I don't know the reason for this, but from the feeling of my brief contact with the headless murderous corpse, the aura on the headless corpse is terrifying, and it is almost catching up with the corpse demons who worshiped the moon in the original city.
The horror of the headless corpse can be seen from this.
However, in Sydney's previous description, it was said that the three black-robed people worked together to deal with the knight armor of the Shocking Door, and they only fought equally, at least for a short time, while Master Tiantong said that the armor evil spirits in the Shocking Gate were only ranked third among the eight evil spirits.
It's still so hard to fight with the third child, against the boss, and there is also a person to chase Sydney and others, it is strange that they can win.
Therefore, the two black-robed people were either directly killed by the headless corpse, or they had a back hand before and did not show all their strength. But even so, it is impossible for them to get out in a short time, I only need to get the other two gossip cards during this time, and Sydney and they will not be in danger.
And if their luck is really bad and they are really found by the black-robed man who controls the five ghosts, as long as they shout for help in advance, I can rush back as soon as possible.
I told Sydney about my analysis, and she was just as worried about Yang Mengqing's safety, so she no longer objected.
Just in case, before leaving, I moved Yang Mengqing to a very private corner of the room, surrounded by shelves for reagent bottles and glassware, and very close to the window.
After settling the two girls, I immediately left the room and began to search for the two evil spirits in the experimental area.
I searched every classroom from the first floor to the third floor in a row, but strangely, the area on the third floor was empty, and there was no ghost of the demon flower that Master Tiantong said.
Just as I was puzzled and was about to go to the fourth floor to take a look, I saw a corpse at the corner of the stairs that turned from the third floor to the fourth floor.
It was a dried corpse, all the water had been lost, and it was like a dead log, and I didn't recognize it at first, and if it weren't for the fresh clothes on the corpse, I almost thought I was wrong.
After recognizing that this was a dried corpse, my heart sank suddenly, and obviously, this dried corpse was not formed by natural weathering after death, otherwise his clothes would not be so new, there is only one possibility, this person is also one of the several students who were rescued by Yang Mengqing before.
It seems that the black-robed man has already been here, maybe the evil spirits in this door have been sealed by the other party.
Alertness rose in my heart, and I walked towards the fourth floor on guard, thinking in my heart why the black-robed man killed a person at every gate, could this be some kind of evil magic?
The fourth floor was still empty, and in the most damaged area on the far right, I found a huge crater, and the floor of the classroom had collapsed almost entirely, not like it was caused by an explosion, but as if something heavy had suddenly fallen on it, and it was formed by a series of floors that ran through several floors.
The light on the mobile phone was so faint that I couldn't see the situation under the pit or where the pit extended.
I resisted my curiosity and continued to go up, the situation on the fifth floor was similar to the fourth floor, and similarly, the classroom floor on the far right had also collapsed, and it seemed that the heavy objects had not fallen from here, so I continued to go up to the sixth floor. come
Unlike the administrative building, there are only six floors in the experimental area, and the sixth floor has already reached the top, and I rushed to the far right to see that the ceiling on the top floor was intact, and the ground was also collapsed.
I thought to myself, this is it, and I turned on the light to shine into the classroom, and found that this room was different from the next few floors, although the floor of the room was missing, but there were many complicated lines hanging on the wall at the edge, which looked very similar to the situation of a laboratory in a science fiction movie.
The walls around the room were almost all blackened by a kind of smoke, and there was also this kind of smoke on the walls of the corridor outside the room.
I curiously twisted some of it, took a closer look at it before I got it to the light, and then crushed it again, and all of a sudden, my face changed.
I seem to know what these things are, damn it, this blood that seems to be dead and dry, shit, how can there be so much blood, what the hell is going on here?
By the way, the experiment, could it be that this is the place where the supernatural soul body experiment was carried out back then?
If you think about it carefully, it is really possible that after the accident in the experiment, the devil created killed everyone in the experimental building, and these blood stains should be those who were at the experimental site at the time.
I took a deep breath, suppressed the shock in my heart, and told myself that now is not the time to care about this, I have searched the entire experimental area, the evil spirits of Dumen and Shengmen are all missing, and the two gossip cards are very likely to have been taken away by the black-robed man, what can I do now?
I hesitated, and suddenly, I turned my head to look at the huge hole in the laboratory in front of me, and suddenly a strange feeling rose in my heart.
Just as I was staring into the deep cave in disbelief, suddenly, an extremely dull but clearly audible voice came from the deep hole:
Knock~~Knock~~Knock......
The sound rang at first, then after a few seconds, it sounded again, at regular intervals, almost every time it sounded, it made me feel terrified, and even more outrageous, I felt like a heartbeat.
As soon as this thought came to mind, even I myself was startled and immediately got goosebumps all over my body.
Hearing such a strange voice in such a strange place, no matter how I think about it, it feels like it can't be a good thing, and in line with the principle that more is better than less, I immediately wanted to stay away from the pit in front of me.
But just as I was about to leave, suddenly, another scream came from the dull heartbeat of the deep cavern, and it was a girl's voice.
My steps froze, and I looked into the pit in disbelief. The scream under the pit is very unfamiliar, it should not be Sydney or Yang Mengqing, I quickly thought of the other three students that Sydney said, except for the corpse at the corner of the stairs between the third and fourth floors, there should be two people alive, and the scream just now may have been made by these two people.
They must be in danger, should they be saved?
I hesitated a little, and after hesitating for a moment, I gritted my teeth and decided to save people!
I rushed to the third floor as fast as I could, and the reason why I went to the third floor was because when I checked the three floors below, the classroom floors on the lower three floors were all intact, which means that the third floor was already at the end.
When I came to the classroom on the far right on the third floor, and looked through the window outside the hallway, I was puzzled to find that it was empty, and the floor was intact, not to mention people, not even rats.
I was suspicious, kicked open the classroom door, and was about to go in to take a closer look, when I suddenly heard a whirring wind behind me.
It's not the first time that someone has been attacked on the back, and I almost have experience, so the moment I heard the wind, I immediately shortened down, squatted down, and slammed my back back at the same time, only to hear an exclamation, and the guy who attacked me was caught off guard by my move, and his body was crooked, and he fell towards the door.
For this result, I was still relatively proud of this result, but I didn't expect that the guy who sneaked up on me was also extremely agile, and at the same time as she fell into the door, I felt that my left hand was locked by a cold thing, and before I could react, the black shadow that sneaked up on me suddenly screamed again.
A strange scene appeared, the black shadow's body suddenly sank under the floor, and the thing that locked my wrist before he fell turned out to be connected to her, and I didn't have time to react, she dragged me to the ground together.
It was only then that I realized that the floor was empty, and while I was shocked, I immediately thought of the vision I had encountered in the β area before, and I couldn't help but curse the old turtle's mantra: Niang Xipi.
Our bodies fell rapidly, and because we lost our balance, our mobile phones on our chests swayed wildly, and the lights shot everywhere, and we could only vaguely see the dilapidated broken walls around us.
About two seconds later, as soon as my scolding stopped, my body had landed, and I thought that even if I didn't fall to my death, I would fall half-crippled, but I didn't expect that it was not earth and rock, but something very soft and similar to an animal organ.
I was unharmed, but the stuff beneath me was so sticky and disgusting that it was pitch black, and I immediately wanted to get up, but suddenly, the figure that was tied to me attacked me again.
I didn't expect this man to be so hateful, he was defenseless for a moment, and he was punched heavily in the face. Feeling the burning pain on my face, the anger in my heart jumped up, turned my body, pounced on it to the ground, and threw it away to greet the other person in the face.
At this moment, a strong light suddenly pierced my eyes, which was much stronger than the light of my mobile phone, and I was instantly blind, and I panicked, and the movements of my hands stopped.
The other party immediately wanted to take the opportunity to get rid of my restraints, his body fluttered, and he followed the Taoist doctor for so long, I knew that if I let the other party get rid of the restraints at this time, then I would die, so I increased my strength and pressed the other party until my eyes adjusted to the strong light, and I immediately punched the other party to the door.
In the end, I still couldn't get my hands down, and by the light of the other party's flashlight, I saw clearly that it was a twenty-five or sixteen-year-old woman underneath, and the reason why I stopped was not that I felt sorry for the jade, but that if I shot again, my life would be gone.
Because at this time, the muzzle of a black hole was tightly pressed against my head, and the one who attacked me was none other than the female police officer surnamed Zhou.
