Chapter 45: The Devil's Tower
Just as Anne felt her blood completely frozen and about to lose consciousness, two rays of light lit up at the same time.
A beam of yellow light shrouded Anne and the dark shadow behind her from above, and a beam of warm white light lit up from her hand, enveloping Anne.
"Huh?" This is the voice of Gazir.
"Wow!" This exclamation came from the bodyguard.
"Huh." Inferno rubbed his neck to watch the play.
The black shadow could not be seen in the yellow light, and Yi Annie, who had been stiff from the cold, was finally able to turn around and see the devil's appearance clearly.
This black shadow seems to be composed of countless black hexagonal stick crystals, these hexagonal prisms are constantly changing their orientation and orientation, and on each side of the prism, there seems to be a wailing figure.
The yellow light wrapped around the devil as if it were substance, and the devil's hexagonal stick stubbornly stretched forward, trying to grab Yi Annie.
On one side of one of the hexagonal prisms, a figure was letting out a silent howl, and Yi Anne recognized it at a glance, this person had appeared too many times in the local media recently, and it was the murderer of the serial murder. The person on the other side of the neighborhood, whom she had seen not long ago, was one of the missing construction workers.
With a "bang", the hexagonal prosmal finger touched the white light around Yi Annie's body, and melted instantly like butter touching a hot pan.
The melted black liquid dripped down and disappeared before it hit the ground.
The yellow light wound tighter and tighter, gradually pulling the devil upwards.
Gradually, the yellow light disappeared with the devil.
With a "click", the white light that enveloped Yi Annie was gone.
"Whew-" Gazir breathed a long sigh of relief and beckoned to the bodyguards: "It's okay for the time being, you go and turn on all those engineering lights." ”
When the bodyguard heard this, he picked up the candle on the ground for lighting, and when he got up, the candle turned sideways, and a few drops of wax oil dripped on the bodyguard's hand, and his hot hand shook slightly.
Gazir laughed: "What are you still using candles at this time, doesn't your mobile phone have a flashlight function?" ”
The bodyguard was stunned for a moment, blew out the candle, and the next moment, the steady white light of the flashlight on the mobile phone shone out, illuminating a large area.
Yi Annie touched her body, and her phone really wouldn't appear with this soul, but why were the clothes there?
"Why do you use candles when the flashlight on your phone is brighter?" Anne asked curiously.
Inferno extinguished the light of the lighter and replied, "It is because the candlelight is dim that you can hide what is on your head." ”
Anne looked up, and there was darkness above her, and she couldn't see anything.
But the next moment, the nearest engineering light came on, and Yi Annie was startled by the sudden light, and there was a dark shadow above her, and the terrifying bloodshot eyes were staring at her.
"Ah——!h Anne finally let out a scream.
She staggered back a few steps, finally seeing what it was.
Lying on the pillar was the black lizard jerky that she had poked before.
At this time, this blood-weeping lizard was no longer as shriveled as it was just now, and after its body bulged, it did have the general appearance of a monitor lizard, with black scales on its neck standing up, like short horns. The four corners grasp the pillar, and the claws seem to be sunk into the concrete column.
Its gaze was fixed on Anne, rolling its eyes as she moved.
Apparently, it was the third thing in the field besides Inferno and the devil to see Iannie.
The next moment, a stream of blood spurted out of the eyes of the bloody lizard, and it shot straight at Yi Annie.
"Ahh What's going on! - "Anne was startled by the stream of blood, and then felt a foul stench.
The next moment, she opened her eyes and returned to her bed.
Lulu was crouching on Eaanne's pillow, her two cat's eyes glowing a faint green glow in the light outside the window.
Anne Anne poked her head out of the bed and looked around, it was only past one o'clock in the morning, almost an hour after she had fallen asleep. The house is the original house, the quilt is the original quilt, and Lulu doesn't react strangely.
Anne scratched her head, a little confused.
What just happened is theoretically true, if she continues to sleep, will she ever go back there?
Yi Annie got up and went to the kitchen to pour a glass of cold boiled water, and after drinking the water, she calmed down a lot.
It's impossible not to sleep, not to mention that she has to go to work the next day.
Thinking so, Yi Annie crawled back into the bed, intending to continue sleeping.
Turning over in the bed, Yi Annie suddenly felt that something had hit her, and reached out to touch it, Yi Annie felt a sigh in her heart.
Take it out and take a look.
"My bracelet! Why is it broken! Anne wailed.
Yi Annie, the jade bracelet brought from China, flashed a white light at Noah's house last time, causing Noah's mother's ghost to leave their house. At that time, Annie was caught by a ghost and didn't dare to look at it, but it was Polly who told her afterwards.
Presumably, this time, when the devil was about to catch Yi Annie, the white light that lit up also came from this. Then, the "click" sound she vaguely heard at that time was probably the sound of the jade bracelet breaking.
The world is so horrible and unfriendly!
Yi Annie suddenly lost her sleepiness, picked up her mobile phone and opened WeChat to call her mother, this bracelet was given by her mother, her mother should always have some clue about it, right?
The phone rang for a long time and no one answered, Yi Annie hung up the phone and started calling her father, but still no one answered the phone.
What's going on?
Yi Annie had no choice but to get out of bed and dig out a broken mobile phone from the corner, which was the domestic mobile phone she used before going abroad, and it is now a completely outdated product. She kept this mobile phone to usually receive verification information, and of course, there were phone numbers of relatives and friends in China on that mobile phone.
She turned out the phone in her hometown and called, at this point in time, her grandparents in her hometown were probably having lunch.
Sure enough, not long after, the phone was answered.
"Hello?" On the other side was Grandma Anne's voice.
"Grandma, I'm Annie!" Yi Annie hurriedly said.
"Annie? Are you back home? When are you going to see grandma? The voice on the phone was full of joy.
"Uh, grandma, I'm still abroad, I just want to ask how my parents are doing, why don't they answer my phone."
"Oh, your parents, they went on a trip to XZ, and they said they were going to hike for a week or two, why, didn't they tell you?"
What the? Mom and Dad are going on a trip? It's normal that XZ can't get a call over there, but it's too coincidental at this time.
Yi Annie had no choice but to reply: "They really didn't tell me about it, and they didn't leave me a word." ”
The grandmother on the other side of the phone laughed dryly: "Your parents have this character, do you have anything else?" It's okay, your grandfather and I are going to play mahjong at the village committee. ”
"Eh, by the way," Yi Annie suddenly remembered, "Grandpa wanted me to study abroad, grandma, do you know why?" ”
"Hello? Feed? Why is this signal so bad all of a sudden? Grandma grunted twice and hung up.
Yi Annie was stunned and looked at the interface where the phone in her hand was hung up, this trick is too blunt, right?
Yi Annie was helpless, put away the domestic mobile phone, continued to roll back to bed, and left a message for her parents on WeChat.
Then she tossed and turned about what had happened lately, and she didn't go to sleep until four or five o'clock in the morning.
In her dream, Anne came to a magical place in a trance, on an almost flat land, suddenly stood a tall stone mountain, the whole stone mountain is columnar, all composed of slender hexagonal prisms. Anne walked forward step by step on the flat land, the pillar of the mountain seemed to beckon her, and she walked for a long time, but she did not feel at all that she was approaching there.
I seem to have seen this place before......
Anne thought in a daze, then was squeezed by the familiar sound of the alarm.
Why do I still have to go to work at such a time......
Anne was still half-asleep when she suddenly received a blow to her waist.
"Lulu!" Anne roared and sat up from her bed.
Lulu was doing her morning gym, running around the house and jumping over and over from time to time. In her experience, this is the easiest way to get the shoveler up and feed him.
Sure enough, Yi Annie reluctantly turned over and got out of bed, filled Lulu's food bowl, and then went to wash her face and brush her teeth step by step.
Wang Yuxin has already gotten up to cook breakfast, she is going to meet her tutor at school today, and by the way, she has to send Yi Annie, who didn't dare to drive home last night, to work.
Seeing Yi Annie's tired face, Wang Yuxin wondered, "Didn't you sleep well last night?" ”
Yi Annie nodded, and shook her head again: "It's hard to say!" I had another soul last night......"
"Poof...... Wang Yuxin squirted out a sip of coffee, "What is this going to solve again?" ”
In short, seeing that Yi Annie is here, there is no problem with her mental state, and she must be finished. But why do some people always want to laugh?
Yi Annie sighed: "Last night, I played a game with a devil in the underground garage of the apartment building where the murderer died. When I woke up, I found that my jade bracelet was broken, alas. ”
As she ate her breakfast, she was stunned by the dream she had before waking up.
The mountain in the dream, like the previous devil, is made of hexagonal prisms.
"Ahh It's the Devil's Tower! Yi Annie slapped the table, but Wang Yuxin was startled.
Yi Anne picked up her mobile phone and searched for the words "Devil's Tower", and soon, a set of pictures appeared, which was the place in Yi Anne's dream.
If there's one thing she thinks about this place, it's when Spielberg used it as one of the most important locations when he was filming the alien sci-fi film "Contact of the Third Kind."
Let's take a look at the introduction of the Devil's Tower: long ago, it was a sacred place for one or two dozen Indian tribes around, and various legends have covered it with layers of mystery.
Sure enough, this thing really has something to do with Native Americans.
