Chapter 233: Deep Pool
Squeak!
The moment the bulge was pressed, the wall made a grinding noise, shrinking to the sides, revealing a diagonal downward passage.
The passage was filled with fog, and it was unknown what was going on inside.
Chen Dong lifted an oil lamp and shone it forward.
What is surprising is that the moment the dim light of the oil lamp touches the mist, the mist seems to be alive, and it collapses in all directions, revealing the passage.
Unlike the previous straight up and straight down, the passage is a stone staircase that slopes downward, and there are obvious traces of artificiality.
"Let's go!"
Chen Dong looked intently at the stone steps and stepped down.
Chen Hui followed closely with an oil lamp, followed by Wang Yuxia and Chen Jingyi.
"Take it, keep up!"
Chen Weixiang handed over an oil lamp and pointed it towards the passage Nunu.
I took the oil lamp and walked behind Chen Jingyi, who dragged Chen Weixiang last.
The passage is about one and a half meters wide on the left and right, and even if you carry a corpse on your back, as long as you are careful, you will not touch the sides of the passage.
The stone steps are slippery, and you can faintly hear the sound of water flowing when you step on it.
Hearing the sound of the water, I knew that the Yinyang River might be coming.
As I walked down, I silently counted the steps, and after walking through the sixty stone steps, I felt a faint sense of unease in my heart.
Sixty steps, with the steepness of this passage and the height of the stone steps, are almost as high as a five-story building outside.
And depending on the situation, there is still no end ahead, or there is no end in sight.
Wherever the light of the oil lamp goes, the fog dissipates, but once it is out of range of the light, the fog rises again.
There were six of us, each of us about a meter apart, and the dim lights connected the city, just opening up a path.
But I also found that the light could only carve out about two meters of space in the fog, and once it exceeded two meters, the fog would come up again and swallow the light.
As I walked, I observed, still counting the steps in my mind.
When I counted to one hundred and eighty-eight, I realized something was wrong.
If nothing else, just this stone staircase.
I know very well how much work and how difficult it is to carve out more than 180 stone steps in an underground environment.
In particular, this kind of operation is still in ancient times.
I estimated that we would probably be 70 meters underground, and with the previous two passages, we would probably be 100 meters below the ground, and there was still no end in sight.
Chen Dong, who was the first to start, was still walking down, and he had no intention of stopping.
"Ghost hitting the wall?"
I thought about it, rubbed Qiqi's head, and handed over an inquiring look.
"Spiral Staircase!"
Qiqi looked up at me, and as his lips squirmed, a voice sounded in my ears.
"Spiral staircase?"
I was a little surprised by this answer, and I didn't feel like I was spinning in circles as I went down.
With Qiqi's reminder, I carefully observed the situation of the stone steps, as well as the turning of the cave walls on both sides, and after looking at it for a while, I agreed with Qiqi's answer.
Every ten steps or so, the cave wall will have an imperceptible slope, similar to a corner.
Because the environment is too dark and the space is relatively closed, it is easy to give people the illusion of going downward.
Realizing this, I looked back at Chen Weixiang, his face was still with the previous excitement, looking at his appearance, I already had an understanding of the situation in the passage.
Look at the few people leading the way in front, their steps are light, without a trace of hesitation.
This means that they also know the situation inside the passage, and this is not the first time they have entered.
After doing it for a long time, the only one who didn't know the situation was me.
I let out a slow breath to stabilize my mood and follow them onwards.
When I got to the count of five hundred and eighty-eight, things changed.
In addition to the faint sound of running water, there was another sound in the passage, and this sound, which I was very familiar with, was the wailing of people in times of despair.
The wails that sounded in the passage were not made by one person, but by the wails of thousands of people combined.
There are men, women, old people, and children inside, and all kinds of voices are mixed together, making people's mood inexplicably low.
"It's almost there!"
At this moment, Chen Weixiang's voice sounded behind him.
The sound cleared my consciousness and freed me from the effects of wailing.
After coming back to my senses, a layer of cold sweat broke out on my head, and if it wasn't for Chen Weixiang's reminder, I almost fell in.
It's kind of scary.
I paused, my lips squirmed, and finally I didn't say anything, and continued to walk down with the person in front of me.
After walking a hundred stone steps, the air suddenly freshened, and the space in front of us also opened up, and we came out.
The cave-like environment that appears in front of us, with the passage located on one side of the cave wall.
In the middle of the cave is a small river, and the sound of rushing water is from this small river.
The creek is about two meters wide and half a meter deep, and you can see through the oil lamp, and the creek is crystal clear.
I stood on the bank of the river and surveyed my surroundings.
The environment here is in line with the karst landform, with stone stalactites of hanging hammers on the top of the head, except for the passage exit behind them, which is quite smooth, and the surrounding cave walls are strange and rocky.
After coming out, Chen Dong and the others didn't move, but stood by the river to trim, not knowing what they were thinking!
"This is the Yin-Yang River?"
I looked at the river in front of me and stroked Qiqi's head.
Qiqi shook his little head, indicating that it was not.
I frowned, the situation here was completely beyond my expectations.
I'm now more than a hundred meters underground, and along the way, I haven't seen anything strange except for the somewhat strange fog.
Although the water of the small river is crystal clear, there is still a mist on the surface of the river, and the fog needs to be dispersed by lights to see the bottom of the river.
"Let's go!"
After repairing on the shore for a while, Chen Dong spoke again and walked forward.
This time, we were following the direction of the river.
As before, Chen Dong took the lead, and Chen Weixiang dragged last.
I followed the group, silently thinking about things.
The secrets in the Kitayama Psychiatric Hospital, so far, have only revealed a corner.
Chen Hui, Wang Yuxia, Chen Jingyi, these three people who had been burned to death ten years ago appeared in front of me again, and I was not surprised.
They're still alive, that's what I already knew.
What I want to know is, where's that zombie?
A while ago, I dug up a zombie from the playground of Sixty-Eight.
Later, he was run away by this zombie, and there is surveillance to prove that he ran into the North Mountain Mental Hospital.
But until now, I haven't seen this zombie.
It's not just zombies, where are the three friends of Qiqi?
Blood fox, green snake, hedgehog, these three have long become the pawns of that one, at this time today, why didn't the three of them come out?
Not only them, but also the Chen family's father and son's backhand that have been prepared over the years have not appeared.
The top ten murderous places in Dongyang City are the leeks of the Chen family and his son.
Where did they all go to the green ghosts in the sixty-eighth, the thirteenth bus terminal, the many ghosts in the hotel in Hualin Town, and several other ghosts in the murderous places?
Why didn't they show up at a time like today?
The most important thing is the Wuwei son, where did he run away?
In addition to these, there are also people who should have appeared, but did not appear.
For example, those people in Xuanmen want to get benefits from Yin Yang Hanoi, and they are not empty mouths and white teeth, saying that I want benefits and can get them.
Could it be that they want to come up with a trick of praying mantis catching cicadas and yellow finches behind?
For a moment, one thought after another flashed through my mind.
"Get into the water!"
Chen Dong's voice once again pulled my thoughts back, I glanced around the environment, only to find that there was no road ahead, the only way was the small river in the middle.
On both sides of the creek are rock walls that are gradually tightening.
With Chen Dong's voice, the others did not hesitate to go directly to the small river and move forward along the river.
In this case, I could only follow down the river, wading through the river, and following a few people forward.
The river was not deep, just knee-high, but it was a little cold, and the wailing was more real.
After walking more than ten meters, I felt that something was wrong.
The feeling under your feet is not right, not the feeling of collapse on the fine sand, nor the feeling of stepping on the stones, but a strange feeling, as if stepping on a leather ball.
After walking for more than ten meters, I deliberately lowered the oil lamp in my hand downward, and then waded to the sides with my feet.
The next moment, the river returned to clean, and the things at the bottom of the river were exposed, which were densely packed with skulls stacked together.
When I saw the miserable white at the bottom of the water, my face froze, and I followed the people in front of me and continued to move forward.
"Under this river, there are skulls stacked, how many skulls are under the water, I don't know, who stacks the skulls at the bottom of the river, I don't know!"
Chen Weixiang saw my small movements, followed behind me, and said with a strange emphasis.
I didn't interrupt him, I could feel it, he wanted to continue.
"You must have heard the wailing, didn't you? Those wails, these skeletons came out! ”
"It's not just the wailing, it's the fog you see, it's the skeletons too!"
Sure enough, without waiting for me to say anything, Chen Weixian took the initiative to say it.
"Is this river the legendary Yin-Yang River?" I asked.
"Yes and no!"
Chen Weixiang said in a strange tone.
"What do you mean??" I asked.
"Before the lockdown is lifted, this place can only be called Yin River!" Chen Weixiang replied.
"Yin River?"
I was a little surprised, I thought this place should be called Yanghe.
Shouldn't the Yin-Yang River have Yin and Yang?
But in this creek, all I saw was yin.
Chen Weixiang said that the unsealing will be unsealed, will Yang Qi be released after the unblocking?
I was puzzled, and Chen Weixiang didn't mean to explain.
I thought about it, but I still didn't hold back, and asked while Chen Weixiang was talking about it: "After the lockdown is lifted, will this small river release yang energy?" ”
"It's not yang!"
Chen Weixiang's voice rose suddenly.
"Silence!"
At this moment, Chen Dong in front of him let out a low shout, and Chen Weixiang immediately shut up and stopped talking.
I was a little uncomfortable, and I was even more curious about the river.
Not to mention anything else, along the way, there are more than 100 meters, and there has always been the feeling of stepping on a ball under my feet, that is to say, such a long road, the bottom of the river is paved with skulls.
To verify this, I deliberately walked to the side, but the feeling under my feet did not change, that is, skulls covered the river.
And this is just a section we have walked, how long this river is, it is not known, but only from this section can be inferred that the skulls laid in this small river must be at least tens of thousands, and the specific number is not known for the time being.
10,000 skulls means 10,000 people have their heads cut off.
The thought of this makes my scalp tingle.
"It's here!"
At this moment, the team stopped, and Chen Dong came to say this.
Crash!
In the midst of a loud noise, Chen Dong came ashore from the river, and I looked around and found that in front of me was a deep pool with a diameter of about ten meters.
One side of the pond faces a stone wall, and the other side is a dry ground.
After Chen Dong went ashore, he put the oil lamp on the shore, and his eyes were bloodshot at some point.
The eyes of the others were full of excitement, even if they were not bloodshot.
Especially Chen Weixiang, he looked at me with a kind of fanaticism.
I was a little uncomfortable to look at, frowned, and then turned my eyes to the deep pool.
Although the deep pool is a deep pool, the water in the pool is not deep, and you can see it by the light, and it is more than a meter, and the deepest place is to my waist.
This is not the key, the point is that the deep pool is oval in shape and has a diameter of about ten meters.
It stands to reason that there is constantly river water injected, and the pool water should be very deep, but no, the lights are shining there, and the deepest is only more than a meter deep.
The question is, where does the water go?
More than that, it is a confined space, and there is no other outlet except for the small river from which it came.
But here, I still didn't see the zombie, I didn't see the green ghost in Sixty-Eight, and I didn't see anyone else.
In other words, there are only a few of us on the scene.
This situation is a bit wrong, and they are all interested in the Yin Yang River, but in the end, there is no one here at all.
And looking at the situation of the Chen family's father and son, this should be the place where the corpse on my back was resurrected, but in this case, how can I be resurrected?
I looked at Chen Dong and Chen Weixiang, they didn't say anything, and I didn't say anything.
"Let's get started!"
After staying up like this for nearly five minutes, Chen Dong exhaled a breath with a resolute look in his eyes.
"Hmm!"
Chen Weixiang was in a similar state, he gritted his teeth and nodded, entered the deep pool again, and put the oil lamp on the water.
Several others followed suit and went into the deep pool and placed their oil lamps on the water.
Five oil lamps, all placed behind the surface of the water, form a circle.
After the circle was encircled, several people turned their eyes to me at the same time, and Chen Dong spoke: "Stand in the center of the circle!" ”
Without hesitation, I stepped forward, into the deep pool, into the circle of the Oil-Lamp Siege, and asked, "What next?" ”
Chen Dong didn't answer, but put his hand on the oil lamp and slowly pressed it down.
Several others were doing the same at the same time, and five oil lamps were pressed into the water, and it was strange that the oil lamps, which had been emitting a dim glow, turned yellow-green when they entered the water.
The light enters the water and illuminates the underwater situation very clearly.
I took the opportunity to look down and see that the situation under the water was different from before, there were no skulls under the water, only a thin layer of sand.
And I also took this opportunity to look for water eyes.
The water of the small river is constantly pouring into this deep pool, but the depth of the deep pool has not changed, which is not scientific.
There must be an eye in this deep pool that smashes away the inflow of the river, otherwise, there is no way to explain why the pool has not deepened.
"Let's get started!"
Soon, the five of them pressed the oil lamp to the bottom of the water and fixed it with their feet, and Chen Dong straightened up at this time, and looked at me with a strange emotion again.
"How do you get started?"
I asked.
To be honest, until now, I was confused.
Along the way, except for Chen Weixiang who told me a little bit of the inside story, the other people didn't talk to me at all.
Now that I'm cold and cold, how do I know how to start?
"Bloodletting!"
Chen Dong looked at me and spit out two words with a hint of excitement.
"Huh?"
I looked confused, what is bloodletting.
"Bloodletting!"
Chen Weixiang repeated and said: "Whether it is cutting your fingers or cutting your wrists, as long as you bleed and let the blood drip into the water!" ”
"Are you sure?" I'm a little confused, what's going on!
"Sure!"
Chen Weixiang nodded.
"That's fine!"
I took a deep look at Chen Weixiang, took out a dagger, and slashed at my wrist, making a cut, and blood flowed out.
Strangely, after the blood dripped into the water, it did not spread, but under the yellow-green light, it condensed into a bunch and fell straight to the bottom of the water.
This is the first time I've seen this situation, as if it was not blood dripping into the water, but a stone.
I glanced at Chen Dong, and the excitement in his eyes became stronger, but in addition to the excitement, there was also a faint uneasiness.
I know he was afraid that this experiment would not be successful.
Chen Weixiang's expression is similar to Chen Dong's, and the expressions of the other three are much more exciting, I can see that they are more in a state of mind to watch the excitement.
Back at the surface, I stared at my blood, which clotted into a bundle and was still falling.
Seeing this, I can somewhat understand that the oil burning in these oil lamps is wrong, and the lamp oil inside is probably corpse oil.
The light carried resentment, making my blood congeale into a bundle and not spreading.
As my blood continued to drip into the water, the speed at which it fell accelerated, and it was about to fall to the bottom.
And as my blood continued to fall, Chen Weixiang and Chen Dong's breathing began to get heavier.
"It's underwater!"
A minute later, when my blood fell to the bottom of the water, Chen Weixiang's breathing became heavy again.
I was also staring at the bottom of the water, trying to see what would happen underwater.
But I was disappointed, and after my blood fell to the bottom, it did not cause a single change.
"Do you want to continue?"
I glanced up at Chen Dong and Chen Weixiang.
After such a moment, the excitement on the faces of the two almost faded, and was replaced by a kind of despair.
"Go on!" Recommended ReadingTV//
They both spoke at me almost at the same time and yelled at me.
I didn't say anything, still holding my wrist and letting the blood drip into the water.
At this moment, a ripple appeared on the surface of the water.
