Chapter 8: The Fog of the Underworld
My grandmother was still yelling behind me, but once I had made a decision, I didn't hesitate, and I kept walking ahead and let her ramble on and on.
She would say that there was an abyss ahead, a place of silence, and that you should never step into it, and then she would say that the candle in my hand was a candle in the underworld, which would only lead me to hell, and if a living person entered the gate of hell, he would be torn apart by ten thousand demons and die a miserable death.
It's just that although she didn't finish talking, she didn't take another step, and naturally there was no more footsteps.
If my guess is right, this grandmother behind me should not be the one I met on the subway before, because the grandmother on the subway said that if I can live tonight, I will see you again.
This obviously means that she won't care about me tonight, and whether you can survive tonight or not depends on my own creation.
The sound of the dirty things on the underworld, the reason why it did this, presumably was to confuse me and make me turn back.
Now it's not that it's not that you don't want to, it's that you shouldn't be able to take a step further, like there's something that's stopping it from moving forward.
I kept walking forward, not stopping, and as I walked, I noticed that the old woman's voice behind me was getting quieter and quieter, until I could no longer hear the nonsense.
I took a deep breath, it seems that my guess is right, the old lady in the back is not really the old woman on the subway, it is all dirty.
And I must have already walked through its territory, so it's hard to follow.
I don't even know if I was lucky, or if I should admire my wisdom and not fall for that thing.
However, I can't take it lightly yet, and who knows how much dirty stuff is still noticeable to me here?
I hold the candle tightly in my right hand, and my left hand in front of the flame in case it goes out, and if the flame is extinguished here, I will be plunged into complete darkness and I will not see anything, and without the candle flame to guide me, I may go on a rampage in horror, and I will not hit anything at that time, I can't say for sure.
"Dididi!"
A bright light suddenly appeared behind him, followed by the sound of a whistle, and the movement was extremely loud, breaking the silence here.
"Brother, stop, you can't take another step forward, listen, the candle in your hand is not mine, something has dropped my candle!"
This abrupt voice is also familiar to me, it is the man in leather who left on a motorcycle before.
If it were someone else, I could ignore it, and even suspect that he was dirty, but the voice of the man in leather clothes, how could I ignore it, it was he who made me go this dark path.
However, I was still afraid, I was afraid that something dirty would lie to me again, so I never dared to speak, but I did not dare to take a step further.
He saw me stop, sighed, and explained to me: "You can remember my words, ignore me, I don't blame you, I was going to leave here, but when I was looking for a place to relax, I accidentally found a candle in the car, and then I realized that something was wrong, if my guess is right, the candle in your hand points to a road that is not a yin road, but a dead road!" ”
"Do you know what a dead end is, as the name suggests, if you go down the road of death, here is a grave, and if you take one step further, there will be no more graves, but a spring, but this spring is not an ordinary spring, it is a yellow spring."
He saw that I didn't speak, and patiently explained to me.
At this moment, I really want to believe him, but I can't believe it, I am afraid that he is the same as that old grandmother, he is a dirty thing, a dirty thing to lie to me, but if what he said is true, then I will encounter danger if I take another step.
He seemed to read my thoughts, and continued, "I know you are doubting me, you don't have to speak, you don't have to look back, you just do as I say and blow out the candle." ”
"Blowing out the candles?" I wondered if I was going to blow out the candle and fend for myself or be devoured by all the demons! If I did do this, I would be killing myself.
"Don't hesitate, that candle is for you I gave you, except for yourself, only I know about this matter, how can those dirty things know, so you don't have to wonder if I am dirty, blow him out now, if it is later, this candle will attract more and more ghosts, and you will be haunted by ten thousand ghosts!"
There is some truth in his words, this candle was given to me by him, and only the two of us know about it, but he really found out that something was wrong and saved me later.
The leather-clad man behind him added again: "Don't worry about falling into darkness after blowing out the candle, the light of my motorcycle is much brighter than your candle, all you have to do is blow it out now, and then I will take you back the way you came and rush out of here." ”
I opened my mouth, he knew me too well, he knew my doubts and fears very well.
I pondered for a moment, and became more and more convinced that the man behind me was the man in leather, but if what he said was true, then I had to blow out the candle immediately, I didn't want to be haunted by ghosts.
Is it really going to blow it out? I stood there and hesitated.
Scratching his head, he took a few deep breaths and turned around directly.
Always let me ignore this, ignore that, it's really annoying, I'll look back today, what the hell will be there, can it be that you can eat me?
This time, the person I saw was really a leather-clad man, I was relieved, I really thought about it before, and at this moment he was really closer than his own father.
"Quick, blow out the candles, I feel like there's a lot of dirt coming towards us." He frowned, cautiously looking around.
"Huh?" I nodded, there was nothing to doubt at this point, only he could get me out of here now.
Just as I was about to blow out the candle, I suddenly thought of a detail through which I might finally determine whether he was a leather-clad man or not.
I squeezed out a smile and asked, "By the way, brother, what do you mean by walking here and not looking back?" ”
He replied casually, "That's dirty stuff to confuse you, I haven't carved it." ”
"Oh, then you can lend me the candle that has not been engraved, and I can continue to find the underworld?" I said quietly.
"No need, come here, I'll take you out of here myself." The corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and a hint of cruelty appeared in the depths of his eyes.
"Oh? Yes, then you mean that you can take me out, didn't you say before that I was entangled and couldn't take me away at all, this change is really fast! ”
I behaved very calmly, and successfully spared him, and no one believed me when I said it, and I actually deceived the ghost and pretended to be such a big thirteen in front of him.
I wanted to try to make sure, but I accidentally really tried him out, and this is good, he knew that he was being exposed, and I panicked, God knows what it was going to do next!
