In the late autumn of 2003, on a rainy night, a private mine in the mountainous area of a small town in Northeast China.

In the dispatch room, Zhao Daming and Xiao Weibo sat by the stove peeling peanuts and drinking wine, when suddenly the switchboard phone rang, and the two looked at each other in surprise.

The switchboard phone cannot communicate with the outside world, and only communicates with the extension of the mine on a single line, which means that this call can only come from the underground, but it is late at night, and the mine has long stopped operating, and there is no one at all!

Zhao Daming's wine woke up halfway: "Old Xiao, will someone steal into the mine, is the gate locked?" ”

Xiao Weibo said: "Don't you know if the lock is locked? We patrol every two hours, and there are surveillance cameras in the mine, who dares to sneak in? ”

In fact, Zhao Daming knew very well that the mine door was locked, but the phone call was too strange, which made his brain wooden, and he couldn't get back for a while.

The switchboard phone kept ringing, the two were inexplicably nervous, Zhao Daming hesitated and got up to pick up the phone, "Hey", no one responded on the other end of the phone, but there was a sharp and piercing sound like scraping the bottom of a pot, which was mixed with the movement of crazy gnawing, and his scalp was numb when he listened.

Zhao Daming put down the phone, put on the emergency light, put on the military coat, and turned around to go out.

Xiao Weibo dragged him and asked, "Lao Zhao, what are you going to do?" ”

Zhao Daming said: "Go down to the mine and take a look." ”

Xiao Weibo exclaimed: "You are crazy, it is raining so hard, it is too dangerous to go down the well in the middle of the night in the third watch, so you should notify Lao Guo first, right?" ”

Lao Guo's name is Guo Shengli, and he is the mine manager appointed by the big boss of the mine.

Zhao Daming said: "What do people pay us to do? Isn't it that this is where it comes in handy, you always have to go and see what is going on with us, if someone is trapped under the mine, if you are afraid that I will go down alone. ”

Xiao Weibo said in a trembling voice: "I don't mean that, I just think this thing is evil, evil, the mine door is locked in the middle of the night, and there is no one underground at all, who will call from the 800-meter-deep mine?" The older generation often says that the mountains and rivers have spirits, Lao Guo does not worship the mountain god to blow up the mountain and open a mine, this is to move the knife on the mountain god's grandfather, the villagers also spread that there were a lot of yellow skins living in the mountains, there is a spiritual energy through human nature, Lao Guo does not even worship the yellow immortal, maybe it ....... ”

"Maybe what, the hell called? Superstition! Zhao Daming rushed out in the rain.

Xiao Weibo had no choice, so he could only keep up.

The two came to the front of the mine gate, Zhao Daming checked the lock, there was no trace of damage, it was indeed locked, and there was no place for people to get into the door, so he took out the key and opened it.

Xiao Weibo stood at the entrance of the cave and hesitated, and Zhao Daming said when he saw this: "You are here, if I don't come out for half an hour, you can call Lao Guo." ”

Xiao Weibo agreed because he was afraid.

This is an inclined shaft coal mine, 800 meters underground, composed of a main roadway inclined downward, a number of small roadways and a mining hole, the main roadway is paved with narrow gauges, with a dump type mine truck to transport coal, the sub-machine is erected at the bottom of the mine 800 meters, Zhao Daming pushed the mine cart to climb in, let go of the brake valve, the mine cart creaked and slid towards the dark and deep mine.

Watching the emergency light line being swallowed up by the darkness and listening to the creaking sound gradually disappearing, Xiao Weibo was very worried.

The time passed by minutes and seconds, the rain became heavier and heavier, the sky was lightning and thunder, and the mine was like daylight, Xiao Weibo kept looking at his watch, and even forgot the strict prohibition of fireworks in the mine, and kept smoking.

Half an hour passed quickly, Zhao Daming seemed to be swallowed up by the dark mine, there was no movement at all, Xiao Weibo shouted a few times to the mine, but in addition to his own echo, there was no response from Zhao Daming at all, he took out his mobile phone and found that there was no signal, so he ran back to the dispatch room to call Lao Guo with a landline connected to the outside world, I don't know if it was affected by the thunderstorm, the phone was never working, he jumped his feet in a hurry, simply put his heart sideways, put on a hard hat, put on the emergency light, and rushed into the dark mine .......

The rain rained all night and did not stop until early in the morning.

Mine elder Guo came to the scene early, the workers had not yet gone to work, the dispatch room was empty, and the old white gan on the stove had been burned dry, he was a little surprised, and after inspecting the mine, he found that the mine door was open, and there were several cheap cigarette butts thrown on the ground.

Lao Guo was annoyed, the mine banned fireworks, and he was fined 100 when he found a cigarette butt, but after thinking about it, he felt that something was wrong, this brand of cigarette butts was usually smoked by Xiao Weibo, he was timid and fearful, and he would never make such a mistake, what happened today?

Looking at the dark mine, Lao Guo was inexplicably nervous, as if there was some kind of force that attracted him into the mine.

"I'm a mother~~." After walking less than two hundred meters, Lao Guo was frightened by the bloody scene he saw and sat on the ground.

I saw that the deceased's head was facing the direction of the wellhead, lying motionless in the mine covered in blood, ten fingers were blurred with flesh and blood, claw-like on the ground, the nails were turned out, and the legs were missing, only two bowls of blood at the base of the thigh were gurgling and oozing blood, and there was a long blood trail on the ground, which extended into the dark depths of the mine!
