Chapter 139: The Dark Zone
The landlord's headless body stiffened in place, and black blood was spurting out from his broken neck.
As the landlord died, the whole building soon began to crumble, the walls were like broken lenses, floating in the air one by one, and the walkway under his feet also cracked, and the surroundings were pitch black, and the scene began to change rapidly.
"I'm going to the Dark Zone!" Deng Hai realized something, holding Xiaoting in one hand, his face full of vigilance.
I was stunned for a moment when I saw the little girl: "Why didn't she disappear?" ”
"Now it seems that we have come full circle, and the landlord is the key." Deng Hai looked at Xiao Ting and thought, "As long as you kill the landlord, you can leave the nightmare, we obviously complicate things." And the reason why Xiaoting is still here is probably because she is not dead. ”
"So, this little girl is going to leave with us?" My brother got to the point.
Xiao Ting looked at him, still a little scared in her eyes, and squatted behind Deng Hai, only revealing a small head.
This girl has just experienced something unimaginable.
Deng Hai looked down at her, and his tone was a little gentle: "I'll take her away." ”
I looked at him and wondered, if all nightmares are a reflection of our inner fears, then this little girl is not a terrifying existence.
So, maybe there's something good in the nightmare?
My brother had no problem with this, he only said that he would never take care of the children.
After he said this, I immediately remembered Zhang Guoguo's diary, obviously it was written in the diary that he would hurt the little girl more than me.
The nightmare shattered, and soon, everything around us vanished, and it was as if we were standing in the darkest place in the world, seeing only each other in front of us, and beyond that, there was only endless darkness around us.
I put away my heels, and the Smokers returned to the ring, and a white path appeared in front of us.
It's like drawing a white line on pitch-black paper, narrow, but unusually conspicuous.
The space around it was pitch black, but the road was bright white, and the end was so deep that I didn't know where it led.
"This is the Dark Zone?" I looked around at me and saw nothing but endless darkness and felt extremely uneasy: "Where does this road lead?" ”
Deng Hai shook his head and said, "I don't know, no one has ever been here, even if someone has come, they can go back." ”
The darkness here feels oppressive and terrifying.
Unlike ghosts, this is a real uneasiness that comes from within, and the whole world turns black, without sound, without color, as if falling into the abyss.
My brother handed me the axe, took a few steps forward with the knife in his hand, and said, "Isn't that what we are aiming for?" Let's go. ”
I nodded and walked after them, the path was strange, paved with many small stones, and lined with rows of small saplings on both sides, if it weren't for the white picture, it would have given the impression of a green path.
We walked along the road, no one spoke, there was silence all around, only the sound of footsteps stepping on stones.
It's the longest road I've ever walked, with no ends, no curves, and looking back, there is only the road I have walked behind me, empty.
"When is this going to end?" After walking for a long time, my brother asked.
He walked in front, blank, and the road seemed to have no end.
Deng Hai walked in the middle, holding Xiao Ting, the little girl didn't dare to speak, and grabbed Deng Hai's sleeve tightly, and the darkness around her made her extremely uneasy.
"I don't know, maybe it's still a long time, maybe it's almost there." In this silent environment, the voice of speech can't help but be quieter.
As I walked, I suddenly heard the voices of people on both sides of the road, very soft, as if someone was talking in my ear.
I thought I was hallucinating, and subconsciously listened carefully, but was suddenly interrupted by Deng Hai: "Don't listen to these voices, and don't look at them." ”
"What are they?" I felt a little uneasy, and the voices seemed to be desperately drilling into my head.
"It's the same as us." Deng Hai looked ahead: "The person who wants to leave, or something else." ”
"They're in the dark?"
"Perhaps, but it's also possible to be like us just walking down the road and trying to find our way out."
I had a hard time squeezing out the fragmentary sounds, they kept getting into my head, and I couldn't shake them out, and soon I could hear what they were saying: "Here are a few more people..."
"Will they find their way out..."
"No, it won't... No one can live without this..."
"I'm in such pain... Why can't you let me die..."
"We're all stuck here... Eternal life and eternity..."
"No one can leave the Dark Zone..."
The voices were filled with fear and unease, despair and pain, whispering, their faces not visible in the darkness, but their presence was clearly felt.
"It's such a desperate place." The fat boy squatted on my shoulder, looking partially uneasy.
I glanced at its round body and was a little surprised: "Fat boy, are you fat again?" ”
“… Do you have to ask this kind of question at this time? ”
As we walked forward, in addition to the sound of rustling, we could even hear the sound of slight footsteps, which came from all directions, as if they were approaching us.
"They seem to be following us." My brother was keenly aware of the change and looked around vigilantly.
Deng Hai nodded and frowned: "They want to see if we can find a way out, and they all want to fish in the water and leave together." ”
When I heard this, an image came to mind: "You mean, if we find a way out, they can follow along?" ”
"Yes, when the door is opened, it works for the entire Dark Zone." "So if we can really open the door, we have to leave quickly, otherwise who knows if something else will come in," he said bluntly. ”
When I heard the news, I felt a pang in my heart, because according to the current situation, it would be difficult to get things in.
In the darkness, these lonely spirits and wild ghosts are watching our every move, and if I do find a way to leave, I doubt that I will be able to open it.
My brother is different from what ordinary people think, he said: "If we can really find a place to leave, we must be the closest, and we must be the first to go out, and when we go out, let Chen Qing block them outside, and no one can get out." ”
"Then you're a clever ghost." The fat boy laughed, unable to tell whether he was complimenting or mocking.
Xiao Ting will look at the fat boy from time to time, and the little girl will always like these things.
The fat boy found out, but bared his teeth and shouted: "Look at what! Haven't you ever seen a cat?! ”
The little girl's face turned pale with fright, and her expression was doubting life, why is even a cat so fierce?
We started to get impatient, the road had no end, and it felt like we were standing still after a long time.
"Isn't this the only way here?" My brother stopped, looked back at the road, and then looked ahead, his face full of impatience.
"It's not the way to go on like this." Deng Haidao: "I don't know how long the time has passed, and if it is delayed any longer, I am afraid that there will be an accident." ”
As soon as he said the time, I remembered something, and hurriedly took out the rune paper to look at it, and his heart suddenly trembled, and there were only two scratches left on the original twenty-four scratches at this moment, faintly, as if they were going to disappear at any time.
"There are only two hours left?!" The fat boy saw the rune paper and exclaimed: "Can you still go out?!" You can't die here! ”
I ignored it, and I began to feel pressure: "I didn't know it had been so long." ”
"If we can't get out of here in two hours, none of us will want to get out."
"If you continue like this, you won't be able to walk out for another ten hours." My brother frowned and began to think of a way: "Maybe we should think differently." ”
Deng Hai said suddenly: "For example, instead of going back and forth, but going to both sides?" ”
I was stunned for a moment when I heard this, looked at the dark world on both sides, and tried to stretch out my hand, feeling a little surprised in my heart: "Is there space behind the darkness?" ”
Just thinking about it, suddenly it seemed to touch something, the touch was a little soft, and I pinched it with my hand, and a terrifying voice came from the darkness: "I died so miserably..."
