Chapter 332: The sound of conversation

I followed the rope on the pulley and went into the abyss. The descent went very smoothly, and I remember the last time I fell into the middle of the abyss, I met a blind man and was forced to return.

I looked down, and the pillar of light emitted by the miner's lamp above me seemed to be shining a hole in the black, oppressive clouds. The abyss is deep and the light is limited, and I don't know how long it will take to actually reach the bottom.

I can't tell if there is anyone guarding this abyss, I am very careful about my whereabouts, but after at least thirty meters down, I don't hear any sound for the time being. Beneath the abyss was absolute darkness, and the deathly silence haunted me all the time, and even if there was no sound, it still made me feel a strong feeling in my heart.

I secretly calculated the height of the slide, and the walkie-talkie still had a signal, so I could get in touch with Changshou and Mu Qiang, who stayed on it. But after sliding down another ten meters or so, the signal seemed to be disturbed, and the stinging stinger couldn't hear it clearly. I was already panicking, and when the signal was disturbed, I subconsciously felt that there was something around me.

In this way, it fell for about twenty meters, and the light could clearly reach the bottom of the abyss. According to a rough estimate, the depth of the abyss should be more than sixty meters. Sixty meters of abyss may seem like just a number, but only when you stand on the top of a sixty-meter building and look down will you know what a terrifying height it is.

I stood firm at the bottom of the abyss, unbuckled from my belt, the bottom of the abyss was rugged and full of stones. It may be the reason why there is no sunshine all year round, but as soon as it falls to the bottom, there is a feeling of gloomy air, and the temperature has dropped significantly by several degrees.

I tried to contact the longevity above, but the signal on the walkie-talkie is still very poor. It stands to reason that our walkie-talkie signal coverage is about two kilometers, separated by dozens of meters, and the signal will not have such a big contrast, but this is the case. This made me feel unsure, so I stood there and glanced around.

Beneath the abyss is not an endless flat land, where the orogeny has formed undulations of varying heights, like a group of mountains with cascading peaks. The size of this abyss is unknown now, but my hunch tells me that it must be large. I remember very clearly, the last time I came to Danmeng, I met Lu Fangding and here, I watched Lu Fangding enter the abyss, and then it took at least six or seven hours to return from under the abyss.

After observing here for a while, I realized that if you go deeper, there is really only one way. The road is hidden in this vast underground uplift, and you just have to follow it forward. I'm sure that no matter whether Lu Fangding or someone else, after coming down from above, they can only take this way.

The road was very winding, I didn't know where it led, I walked slowly forward, observing as I went, everywhere there was a deathly silence, but as I walked, I seemed to hear a sound.

It was the voice of a man, very soft, and very faint to hear, as if it had come from far, far away.

As soon as I heard these sounds, I immediately became nervous, and immediately turned off the lights, and my heart was like a drum, and the sound kept ringing. Is this abyss really the same as I thought, and there are still people guarding it?

The voice was very faint, probably far away from here, and I prayed that the rough road would block out the light and not be noticed by the other party. I leaned against a stone beside me, listened with bated breath, and did not dare to move.

After listening like this for two minutes, the sound was still so faint, but after two minutes of adaptation, I gradually realized that the voice was not made by one person, but at least two or three people, who were probably talking to each other. The people who spoke were men and women, but they couldn't hear what they were talking about.

The other party probably didn't notice me, otherwise, they wouldn't have talked like this. I remained motionless, listening to the continuous sounds. To be honest, I admire the people who are guarding here, such a dark and gloomy environment, not to mention the years, I guess I will go crazy if I am left here for three days.

People who have been here for a long time must have degraded their eyesight, their hearing is very developed, and I am very careful not to make any sound.

After a few more minutes, the sound of the conversation did not seem to change, and suddenly, my scalp went numb, because I finally made out that this slight and complex sound seemed to be mixed with Zhang Momo's voice.

I don't know if I've heard it wrong, so I held my breath and listened again, but I still couldn't be sure, but it felt like it.

I was very surprised by this suspicious Zhang Momo voice, and at the same time a little alert, in order to hear more clearly, I slowly stuck to the stone and walked a few meters ahead. The distance of a few meters was not useful at all, and the sound was still indistinct, so I walked forward again, and so on, and I could be twenty or thirty meters away when I walked out directly.

When I got here, I finally heard a little more clearly. Those people seemed to have endless words, and they talked back and forth for at least ten minutes, and they still talked endlessly. The voice that seemed to be Zhang Momo's voice drilled into my ears one by one, and the more I listened, the more I felt that it was mostly her voice.

How did she end up here? Who is she with?

This would have been an anomaly, but when I thought about it, it wasn't impossible. Zhang Momo and Lao Wang only left me a letter, but there was no news, which means that Zhang Momo didn't want me to know their whereabouts, and he didn't want me to know what they were doing.

This information left to me by Zhao Sanyuan when he was dying is of course very important, if I can get this information, then Zhang Momo may also get it. I wondered if she had received some rumors and ran before Danmeng came.

The road in front of me was very winding, almost a few meters before I had to make a turn, and I had to keep walking in order to figure out what was going on. As the journey deepened, my ears probably had completely adjusted to the slight sound of conversation, and I heard it right, there was indeed a voice of Zhang Momo talking.

However, I still felt a little strange, and since I could hear the voices of the conversation, it meant that they were certainly not very far away from me, but I did not find any light along the way. In such a place where the black light blinds the fire and the fingers cannot be seen, there is no light source, and a person is like a blind man. Don't they need light source lighting? Just keep doing this in the dark?

I followed the sound for a long distance, without any light, and could only grope my way forward. After about half an hour, the sound was gone. I listened with my ears pricked up for a long time, and it did disappear without a trace.

I stopped, pondering for a long time, this sound is not normal, if it was a normal conversation, it should not last so long, and it has always kept a certain distance from me.

I suddenly wondered if this sound was deliberately leading me forward. If this sound is a decoy, then there must be someone lurking in this place.

But it's a bit unreliable to think like this, since I'm going deep into the abyss, I'm going to find out, even if I don't have this sound to tempt me, I'm still going to follow this road forward. Those who are hidden in the abyss are tantamount to doing more.

I thought about it, but I still couldn't figure it out. However, this situation must be clarified. I waited for a while, made sure there was no sound, and turned on the light source, without which I couldn't go far.

The road was still stretching, still twisting and turning, and I was careful to walk on it for at least an hour. There is no longer any signal on the intercom, which is equivalent to cutting off all contact with longevity and them, what is happening here to me, what is happening to them on it, it is impossible for each other to know.

Anyway, the situation here fills me with a sense of crisis, and I feel that something is not quite right everywhere. At this time, the sound of conversation, which had been missing for an hour, suddenly penetrated into the pinna again. This time I was alert, and as soon as the voice came, I immediately tried to discern its source.

After two or three minutes of distinction, my head grew bigger, and the sound was erratic, sounding as if it was coming from the front, but it seemed to be coming from the left and right, and I couldn't feel the source at all. At this point, I'm sure the sound won't be normal, it's probably a decoy.

My legs seemed to be shaking silently, if this was really a bait, maybe it would be very troublesome, the person who set the bait knew what my psychological weakness was, and the conversation was mixed with Zhang Momo's voice, so I couldn't completely calm down.

I felt like I was stuck in this place, and I didn't know if I should go forward or backward.

My mind was already confused, but at this moment, the sound of conversation, which had been particularly vague, seemed to be much clearer in an instant, and at the moment when the conversation became clear, Zhang Momo's voice was like an invisible thread, burrowing into my ears.

"He's coming...... I know him...... He's coming......"

I could only hear the two sentences clearly, and I squeezed my leg vigorously, and it hurt a lot, which means that I am now very conscious and not hallucinating.

The conversation became a little louder again, I could no longer hear the specific content, the people who were talking seemed to be arguing over something, the voice was noisy for a moment, and soon it calmed down again, and I couldn't catch the source of the sound for the time being.

I felt a little irritated in my heart, and the voice lingered around me, but I couldn't find the source. I didn't turn on the miner's lamp, and walked forward again in the dark. The path turned a corner, and when it turned out, the narrow road suddenly opened up, and this road should have come to an end.

As I turned around, about fifty or sixty meters away, a little light came into view. In the depths of the pitch black abyss, any light was a very dazzling target, and I stopped and looked at it, and I felt that it was like the light of an oil lamp.
