Volume 2: Nine Turns of the Underworld Chapter 7: Collective Disappearance

We hurried to dig, but fortunately this deserted population did not care about camouflage at all, and everyone took turns to fight, and soon dug a thief hole, which touched the tomb wall.

By the time the bottom was widened, it was completely dark.

The walls of this tomb are really not elegant, uneven, but generally neat. This makes us more sure that it is the tomb wall, which must have been dug up and reinforced when it was built, and the reason why this is the case here is because there is no need to deliberately clear the space to correct it, and the inner side is definitely not like this.

Miss Luo and Liu Sanyan came down first, it would be nice if Ajie was here, he knew the mechanism, and he was born to be a pioneer, and now he can only go to Miss Luo herself.

I was in the cave with marijuana, and I helped clear out a space of two or three square meters and didn't get out.

Our positioning skills are so poor that we can't find a vantage point at all, and it's luck to be able to hit the tomb wall.

The tomb wall is made of bluestone blocks, and there is a dull echo when knocked on it, which is certainly not thin.

Liu Sanyan knocked hard with a shovel several times, but only left a few marks on it.

"No, it's too strong, I'm afraid you'll have to use explosives to blow it up." Liu Sanyan shook his numb hands and gave up.

"But we didn't have any explosives." Marijuana said.

I really didn't bring it, maybe this thing is not easy to do in a short time, and Miss Luo didn't have time to prepare.

Miss Luo took the flashlight and looked at it carefully, and finally said: "This ancient tomb is very large, it is unlikely that all of them will be strong, let's dig along the tomb wall and dig again." ”

Hearing her say this, Marijuana and I had to pick up the shovel again to work, and when we were about to dig horizontally, suddenly one person jumped down, and it was Xiaomu.

This guy didn't help when he was digging a thief hole, Miss Luo didn't open her mouth, and her guys didn't dare to call him, I and Marijuana have seen his perverted skills, and he won't have anything to do, only Liu Sanyan muttered several times, but Xiaomu didn't pay attention to him at all.

"It's useless." Xiao Mu pulled the marijuana away, took the shovel and knocked it around, suddenly stood up and thrust it into one place.

"Click!"

The shovel of this solid wood was broken, and you can imagine how strong Xiaomu is!

"Borrow a knife." Xiao Mu stretched out his hand to Miss Luo, who hesitated for a moment, but still gave him the knife.

Xiao Mu stepped on the shovel handle that was broken in it a few times, then pulled it out, weighed the black knife, and inserted it in the same place before.

"Poof!" This time the sound was not very loud, and the long knife went straight to the handle, and it was obvious that the tomb wall was pierced by his knife.

Liu Sanyan's eyes widened when he saw it, it turned out that this guy was so powerful!

Xiao Mu pulled out the knife and returned it to Miss Luo, pointed to the place and said, "Dig from here." ”

Sure enough, it was much easier for us to dig again, and the knife not only pierced the tomb wall, but also shook a few rocks around it, and soon we dug a hole that we could drill into.

Miss Luo flashed her flashlight a few times, and several other people also came down one after another.

This tomb is finally in, the entrance of the cave is open on the top of the tomb wall, more than two meters high from the ground of the ancient tomb, it is easy to go down and it is difficult to climb up.

I took a look at the environment, and there was a cemetery road, two meters wide, and it was open to the left and right.

Miss Luo took a picture to the left, the front was dark, and I didn't know how long the tomb was, but the right side could faintly see the head, which was a corner.

To the left is the direction of the village, if we want to enter from the main entrance, we have to go around the cemetery, that is, no matter which way we go, it is the same, it is nothing more than a little more walking.

Everyone agreed to go to the right first, and when they were approaching, they could already see the end, and see what would happen around the corner.

After making sure everyone was there and checking the equipment again to make sure it was correct, we headed to the right.

Miss Luo took the lead, not walking fast, and threw stones in front of her from time to time, probably to confirm whether there was a mechanism or something.

It wasn't long before we reached that corner, and as soon as we turned around, we saw a skeleton on the ground, in a prone position.

But everyone is not a rookie, and I didn't panic too much, even I, a real rookie, didn't feel scared. It's just that this skeleton is a little strange, except for the bones, there is nothing left, and we can't tell the identity of the skeleton for a while, is it a modern corpse or an ancient one? If it was those people from decades ago, even if they had been dead for decades and their bodies were rotting away, there would never be any clothes left, right? Could it be that the clothes have been taken away?

We became vigilant, and we came across a dead body, indicating that there was danger in the vicinity.

Almost inch by inch, I walked for more than ten minutes for 100 meters, and I came to the end, and nothing happened.

In front of me, I turned to the left again, and I didn't go far and there was another skeleton like that, also lying on my stomach, and I made a posture of crawling forward.

It's really strange, it stands to reason that some parts of the body are difficult to decay, such as hair, but these two skeletons have nothing but bones.

Confused for a while, we had to move on.

This time the grave road was obviously much longer, nearly doubled, and we didn't go fast, and there were more of these strange bones along the way, and I secretly counted them, and now I have found seven.

"I can't go any further, and if I don't understand how these people died, I'm not sure." Liu Sanyan stopped and said.

Everyone really felt weird, and rummaged through the bones, which were real human bones.

"You see that these bones are crawling in one direction, is there danger ahead?" I analysed it.

As we walked, these bones were crawling in the direction we came from, does that mean that we are actively approaching danger?

Liu Sanyan said: "And have you noticed that there is no trace of a fight here, if they are hunted down, anyone will subconsciously resist before they die, even if the resistance is fruitless, the posture before death cannot be the same, right?" Judging from these remains, the movements are so similar, could it be that someone deliberately posed like this? ”

It's possible, but who would be so bored to pose in the tomb?

I said, "Assuming that it was artificial, it may have been done by Professor Wu and his grandfather's group to make future generations alert to danger." If it is not man-made, it can also be inferred that the bones fled from the front to this side. Either way, there is a high probability that there is danger ahead, are we going in the wrong direction? ”

"It makes sense, I agree with Zhang Yuan's statement, let's go to the other side and try it." Liu Sanyan said approvingly.

Miss Luo didn't say anything, and her guys naturally listened to her.

Everyone looked at Miss Luo, waiting for her to make a decision.

Miss Luo thought for a while and said, "What if these people want to escape?" Then there is no point in us going back. ”

Obviously, she didn't approve of going back, so two factions were formed invisibly, Miss Luo chose to move on, her guys naturally followed her, Liu Sanyan and I felt that there was no need to take this road to take risks, maybe there were other roads?

"Otherwise, we will go two ways, no matter how big this tomb is, there will be restrictions, so it will be twice the result with half the effort." Liu Sanyan proposed.

I don't approve of it, I heard that this ancient tomb is extremely dangerous before I even entered, and people are naturally stronger than people.

Before I could get into the pervert, Miss Luo agreed, and quickly executed the division of labor, she took those guys first, and Liu Sanyan and I walked back.

What Miss Luo was looking for was a stone carving, and the secret report said that it was a plant called the other side flower.

None of us have ever seen this plant, and legend has it that it is a flower that blooms in hell. But since you know it's the shape of a flower, you should be able to recognize it no matter how outrageous it is.

After Miss Luo and the others left, we also turned around and went back.

Although we have walked through it once, we haven't picked up the pace, so it's right to be as careful as possible.

When I figured out how soon I was going to get to the entrance of the cave, I suddenly wondered if I should go out first, I wouldn't be of much help here, so I might as well go out and make a bonfire and bake something so that they could have a hot meal when they came back.

But I haven't found that hole after looking for a long time, so I haven't arrived yet?

"What are you looking for? You wouldn't want to run away, would you? Liu Sanyan stared at the double mung bean eyes and said speechlessly.

What a roundworm in your stomach? But I'm not stupid enough to say it, I don't want to be looked down upon.

"Strange, why is that hole missing? Are you on the wrong track? I said.

Marijuana asked suspiciously, "What's missing?" ”

"What hole do you want other than the hole we climbed into?" Liu Sanyan's lewd smile of "hehe".

I looked at these two fools like idiots, they also came back to their senses, Liu Sanyan smiled and scolded: "Comrade Xiao Zhang, look at you nervous, we are fighting inverted, not catching ghosts, and the hole will not grow legs and run away by ourselves, it must be that we haven't arrived at the place yet!" ”

But when we were almost there, we didn't find the hole on the other side, and then we all realized that something was wrong.

Although the entrance to the cave is not large, you can see it with a little care, but there is really nothing left on this stone wall.

When digging the hole, I didn't understand the situation in the tomb, we tried our best to pick up the soil and stones, but there were a few mud chips that fell in, but we searched carefully several times, and there was no trace left in the tomb, I was sure that this tomb road was not the previous one, the hole could not disappear, even if someone deliberately blocked it, it could find the traces.

But we come in and leave here and come back, saying that it will be half an hour to die, no matter how good the person who plugs the hole is, it will take time to get old? Not to mention, the grave road had to be cleaned up.

Just when we were at a loss, there was a sound of "swish" at the end of the tomb, which seemed to be trying to control the sound, but it sounded so clear in this very quiet tomb that I was so scared that I was sweating.

Liu Sanyan was experienced, and hurriedly gestured for us to turn off the lights, and picked up weapons for us to stick to the corner.

"Bang dang!"

My palms were sweating, the shovel in my hand touched the wall in my nervousness, Liu Sanyan looked at me like an idiot, and I was so ashamed that I quickly said that my hands were shaking.

The sound stopped at the end, I wonder if I heard the noise I made, or if it was going in the wrong direction and running far?

I just breathed a sigh of relief, if only it knew that it had run away, even if you were a delicious hare I was not in the mood to chase it, everyone was temporarily in the same tomb, and it was best if the well water did not interfere with the river water.

As soon as I wanted to turn on the flashlight, I heard Xiaomu "shhhhh ”

I have learned the perversion of the little wooden ear, when I put my mobile phone in the bag in the trunk, he could hear it hundreds of meters away, and I was sure of his words.

All of our concentration was in the darkness ahead, as if we could see a terrible ghost slowly crawling towards us.

He couldn't see his fingers, and he didn't know if the ghost could understand us, so we didn't dare to say anything, and we didn't dare to turn on the lights, and we didn't know how to cooperate.

I was anxious, we can't see it, but we can't guarantee that it can't see us, what if it can? Aren't we stupid and B-like to die here?

I had a crazy idea in my heart, this idea needs Liu Sanyan's cooperation, marijuana I'm not sure if he reacts so quickly, Liu Sanyan should be able to keep up, and there is an unfathomable Xiaomu.

I was emboldened with an "ah", and I turned on the flashlight and rolled on a lazy donkey to the side.

This flashlight is like a life-destroying lamp, as soon as I turn on the sound of "boom", I feel that my ears are confused, and this ghost of the dog day is still shooting?

"Stop, stop, we're my Liu Sanyan." He saw the ghost in the flicker of my lamp, and quickly shouted loudly.

It turned out that it was Miss Luo who touched it, this girl is really dead.

"Why are you here?" Miss Luo hurriedly asked.

Liu Sanyan said: "We have been in this tomb since we separated from you, why did you come back after going around in a circle?" ”

Miss Luo thought for a while, her face was full of puzzlement, and said, "After we separated, we turned a corner again, and when the tomb road was almost finished, I heard your movements, and I touched it to see what it was." ”

She didn't notice anything, we were in a sealed cuboid.

Miss Luo looked at me and asked in disbelief, "You don't want to run away if you keep staying here, right?" ”

I'm a dog, and I look like a deserter? I hurriedly said that the hole we came in was gone.

Miss Luo's fellows also came, and after hearing me, there was a commotion, and everyone hurried to find the hole.

But this tomb is two meters wide and nearly one hundred and fifteen meters long, but how the ten of us can find it is very fast, and once again we are sure that it is really gone, everyone is a little panicked.

I remember coming in near the end of our first corner, and I looked at it many times, and I was sure that there was no cave in that section, but there were obvious traces of us jumping off the ground, but we knocked on it countless times, and it was determined that it was a stone wall.

"Leave this hole alone, why did you touch it again?" Liu Sanyan gave up.

"Because there's nothing." A guy with a thick Cantonese accent.

"Nothing?" Liu Sanyan was puzzled, and gestured with his hand and said, "That means that this tomb design is like this?" The aesthetics of this tomb owner are a bit problematic. ”

This really doesn't make sense, even if the owner of the tomb loves it, but what about the things in the tomb? Could it be that even a layer of land has been scraped off after the last batch?

Although he was a little hopeless, Liu Sanyan felt that there was still some soup left to drink, but not to mention the soup, there was no trace of slag left, which made him very angry.

"There's no danger anyway, so let's go and find the pattern, and a group of people look for the hole, and they can't find a new one." Liu Sanyan proposed.

It's really the only way to go, no matter what, you have to leave a way out.

Everyone wanted Xiao Mu to cut again, so it would be much easier to dig up, but they found that they didn't know when Xiao Mu was gone.

"Damn, this guy won't sneak away on his own, will he? Where can he run to this big place? Liu Sanyan muttered: "As the old saying goes, do it yourself, have enough food and clothing!" ”

After that, find a guy and start working.

I don't want to dig anymore, the hole diggers are almost blistering before, and there is no danger here, I'd rather go find a pattern.

Miss Luo also followed me to find patterns, manual work is not suitable for women, and women are more careful when looking for things.

In this way, we became a three-way street, Miss Luo and I followed the direction we started, the two guys went in the other direction, Liu Sanyan and Marijuana and three guys stayed here to dig a hole and go out.

One person and one side, it is also very easy to find it this way. At first, I looked very carefully, but there was really nothing on my side, and slowly my steps became faster.

Miss Luo looked very carefully, and her speed naturally slowed down.

If this tomb is set up according to a cuboid, I have a preliminary estimate, the width is about eighty meters, the length is about one hundred and fifteen, and the one we came in belongs to the long side.

When we turned to the first long and wide side, my speed became faster unconsciously, I really didn't find anything, it was smooth and polished, and I also found a feature, this stone wall is like a whole, even the corners of the corner did not find a gap, could it be that the ancient master of water grinding technology?

I don't believe it, but if it's a whole stone wall, or even that the whole tomb is hewn out of a huge stone, it's too big, right?

Converted into area, the length and width are visible, the height of the tomb is more than three meters, plus the top and bottom are more, the overall is less than five meters, that is, more than 60,000 cubic meters, how can there be such a large whole stone?

It should be that the cracks in the stones have been specially treated, and I can't find a flaw as a layman.

Before I knew it, my second long side was almost finished, I looked back at Miss Luo who was still slowly looking for it, and secretly said that women were troublesome, so I didn't think too much, I turned a corner and continued to look for it, thinking that I could go back to them by turning a corner, and my steps were a little faster.

But I always feel that something is wrong, Miss Luo is slow, and her two guys are so careful? Theoretically, I should have run into them, but are they lazy and not moving?

Then this lazy technique is too vegetable, why is the boss here, it doesn't take much effort to find it early, I shook my head helplessly, it seems that as long as it is for someone to work, it will be lazy.

Soon the last grave road was also completed, and I still didn't see the two of them, so I guess I went home.

When I turned the corner again, the cemetery in front of me was empty and dark.

But even if you work in the dark, you can't pick it with your hands, right? Why is there no sound at all? Or is there a collective strike?

"Marijuana!" I shouted in confusion, but there was no response, and the place where the flashlight shone was empty.

No way! Did they go out first?

I hurried over, there were still some tools left in the place where I had started, and the walls had not been dug open, and a few cracks had been smashed.

But where have all the people gone? Went to dismantle en masse?

But I always feel uneasy, how can I get rid of it collectively? What a coincidence, right? Even if they didn't get rid of them, they didn't get rid of them, and those two guys also got rid of them?

I walked on to see where they had gone.

From walking to trotting, I soon ran a lap again, but I still didn't see a figure, and I began to be frightened in my heart, and even Miss Luo was gone.

Are they running too? I was chasing after me, so I didn't catch up for a while?

I simply turned around and ran, and after a lap there was still no one, I shouted at them in fear, my voice was almost hoarse or no one squeaked, they seemed to disappear out of thin air.

Now I was completely panicked, damn Miss Luo, I believe it, Liu Sanyan said I also believe it, marijuana has no reason to say to me.

Back at the starting point, I picked a shovel to defend myself from among the tools left on the ground, forcing myself to calm down.
