Chapter 18, Sinkhole

The door was still opened, and it was only then that I realized that the key to open the door was the man-faced fish I had taken out of the box.

The wind came from nowhere, and the dust inside the door blew out the candle standing in a section.

All the people were attracted by what was inside the door, and instead of holding me back, they turned their heads and raised their flashlights to shine through the door.

The hollow darkness was replaced by beams of light, and the space inside temporarily glimpsed a corner of the area, which had been sealed for an unknown number of years.

"What do you see?" Scarface asks the woman.

"There's something."

As she spoke, her flashlight paused, and a huge object sat in the light.

Bone...... Bones, the bones of what creatures. It stood like a mountain behind the door, a majestic white skeleton that covered the entire darkness.

From the middle of the spine, the bones were scattered to the sides of countless huge backbones, and the ribs under the spine were like sharp swords stuck in the dirt, and they snaked into the darkness, without a head or tail.

"Oh my god!" I rubbed my eyes and couldn't help but be taken aback, "Is this a youkai?" ”

There was no flesh, no scales, just a skeleton, and I watched in amazement.

"Is it a snake?" The dwarf cried out, "Snake bones? So big? ”

The woman was silent, just holding her flashlight and moving along the bone into the darkness.

"It's not a snake, it's still on foot!" The thin man said, "Is it a centipede?" ”

Huge foot bones, a pair of bones grow every other bone, each of them is more than ten meters long between the backbones of the skeleton, and they span the mountain inside the door, forming an "arch".

Soon the flashlight hit the dead end, and the woman had no choice but to start walking towards the inside of the door.

"Don't ......" I subconsciously tried to stop her, but it was too late, she had already walked in.

Turning her head in the direction of the bone's extension, she seemed to see something on the door, and gasped.

In the dead space, all she could hear was the muscles and bones of her body twitching, and the sound of teeth colliding with each other.

"What?" Scarface shouted and ran in.

Then, before I could speak, the dwarf kicked me, and I staggered into the door.

At that moment, I felt like I was stunned, my head felt like I had been shot and nothing, and the blood in my body was coagulated.

"This fucking came in?"

"I'm poking, it's over."

"Can't get out!"

One after another terrible thoughts, as those strange thoughts jumped into my mind, suddenly a pool of sweat flowed from my palms, and the soles of my feet and scalp became numb.

But soon it all passed, nothing happened, and I looked down at my body, only to realize that it was just subconscious.

He followed them a few steps forward, passed through the mountain gate, and then looked up at the top of the gate in the direction of the bones.

And just by looking at it, I jumped in shock.

It was not a snake or a centipede, nor a keel, but a human head, a huge human head hanging quietly above the mountain gate, it was not ossified but lifelike, the size of a pair of copper bells...... No, no, it should be said that searchlight-sized eye beads are staring at us condescendingly.

This staring at each other, the majesty from the ancients, was enough to shock everyone present.

"It's the god of the mountains!" After a brief moment of fright, the woman quickly settled down, "I think she's dead." ”

"Dead?" I couldn't imagine that this thing was dead when I looked at the head.

"Well, the head should be preserved by some special method, just like the stone carved head outside the mountain gate."

"Mummy?" I naturally took over the conversation.

"I guess!" The woman was also happy, looked at me and said, "Where did you find your key?" ”

"Basement!" People can't help themselves under the wall, so I have to hold it up truthfully.

"Basement?" The thin man behind him walked over.

I was startled and immediately realized that they probably didn't come in with me, so there was more than one way to get here.

In fact, it's right to think about it, when the people from the Surveying and Mapping Institute found this place, they should have opened a road, and it is very likely that they found this door, otherwise why would they stop surveying this place?

In the same way, most of these people also came down from that place.

"Or else?" I glanced at the thin man, "Anyway, where did you come from?" Still lugging such a big box? ”

It was the coffin-like thing I had seen at first, nothing more than a rectangular box.

"From the ground!" The scarface man said, "But you, from that basement?" Is this near the floor? ”

I was stunned for a moment on a nearby floor? Isn't there a fucking building above this goddamn place?

But I wasn't in the mood to talk too much about them, so I nodded subconsciously and said, "There are some strange things in the basement, and I took them out, including the key you used to open the door." ”

As I spoke, I touched my body, and the good guy had been touched, and the diaries and the keys I had been given were gone.

"And what do these diaries say?" Scarface held the journal out and shook it in front of me.

I can't explain it clearly, if I really talk about these things, I guess I can't finish talking about them in a day and a night, and I don't want to drag these people out of my own home.

Spread his hands, "I don't know, I ......"

Halfway through the words, a strange feeling suddenly came from his body, as if he was numb by electricity, and he suddenly shivered.

Then subconsciously raised his head, and then saw ......

I actually saw the eye socket on the skull of the huge mountain god......

The pair of eyeballs in their sockets rolled and turned their gaze towards me.

I poked, and it actually looked at me, just condescendingly looking down at me.

I froze in place, not daring to move, but then I suddenly felt something pull at me from behind me.

Subconsciously I turned around, but there was no one behind me, and at this time the thin man and the short man had already walked in front of me, and they were concentrating on the huge skeleton of the mountain god. There was no light, and it was pitch black outside the mountain gate...... It's not pitch black, I don't know why the candle is still on, it's swaying in the wind, emitting a faint light.

But then a hand appeared in the firelight, and he reached in from the darkness and picked up the candle on the ground.

The candle then rose, slowly illuminating the man's body, from his legs to his waist to his chest.

"Yes...... Someone ...... "I subconsciously wanted to shout out, but soon all the words were stuffed in my throat, and they were like a ball of cotton stuck there, so that I couldn't utter a word after that."

For I saw a man, a man who looked exactly like me, and he was standing outside the mountain gate, holding a candle and quietly......

Quietly looking at me.
