Chapter 241: Absolute Darkness
He's dead!
I retracted my hand suddenly, only to feel a chill down my spine, I don't know how long I had been faint here, and how long I had been tossing and turning since I woke up, he had been here, lying quietly in the dark.
The dead man had been near me all along, and I knew nothing, and I felt my scalp tingle at the thought of it, and I didn't know where the courage came from, and I cautiously reached out and touched his clothes again.
His clothes were already half-dry, and he must have come earlier than me, but I couldn't touch the blood, could it be that my breath was too weak after I fainted, and I was injured again, and my skin was not sensitive enough, so I couldn't detect his breath?
It must have been so, I reassured myself, and with trembling hands I felt for his collar to untie it, and as soon as my hand reached in, I felt the material peculiar to the familiar wetsuit.
Who the hell is he?!
His hair is short, he can't be a god brother, and he doesn't have a mask, it's not like nineteen, but it's hard to say if he was thrown somewhere else, except for them, there are only Eleven and Ah Chuan, oh yes, and those hostile guys, I've seen their corpses, and they wear the same clothes and equipment as us.
I felt to his chest with trembling hands, the tentacles were cold, my hand stayed on his chest for a long time, I didn't notice a heartbeat, he didn't faint, but really died.
I retracted my hand, feeling a very sluggish feeling in my throat, I didn't expect that I was so bold that I dared to touch the corpse, my heart was completely occupied by another emotion, I wanted to know who it was.
My hand touched his face again, he was very thin, but the skeleton was obviously bigger than Eleven, Eleven's body was very slender, this is a fact that can't be changed in any way, I can rule out Eleven, then only Nineteen and Ah Chuan are left.
I thought about their faces carefully, and touched them again but felt that they didn't look like anyone, so black and tactile alone, I couldn't tell them apart at all, their appearance had long been blurred in my memory, the more often I saw it, the easier it was to ignore, I couldn't remember any unique features on their faces.
The more anxious I became, the more I wanted to know who he was, I gave up my face and touched his hand along my shoulder, but I couldn't feel it, his hand had a thin layer of cocoons like all the Mo family, and it was better to touch his face to feel it really.
In fact, I already have a faint answer in my heart, but I don't want to believe it, Nineteen is not fat, but his body is obviously stronger, not as protruding as his skeleton, and I feel more and more that this is Ah Chuan.
Ah Chuan has been missing for so long, we have not found him, he has long been labeled as a death, but he can't be confirmed without seeing it with his own eyes, it is impossible for him to survive in danger alone, he is really very likely to be Ah Chuan.
I felt like my breath was sluggish, I sat on my knees in a daze, I didn't know what to do, my nose was sore, but I didn't shed tears, because I couldn't see, so I couldn't be sure, I still had the slightest hope, he might well be our enemy.
I sat there for a long time, until there was a drop of water on my face from the top of the cave, and I suddenly remembered A, and raised my hand to touch his wrists, both of which were empty, and there was no shadow of A.
It's not Achuan!
I was refreshed, and I quickly declined, I forgot that after the death of the owner, Jia will leave, and it is normal if it is not there.
The sad feeling came back again, and there was no hope in sight in the darkness, and my wheezing echoed, and it was quiet all around, only the faint sound of water, and the maze gradually stopped.
There is an eighty percent chance that he is Ah Chuan, I suddenly don't know what to do, I want to leave, and I don't want to leave him here alone, my tears rolled out in the end, I can't accept that the former living person has become a cold corpse, he really helped me a lot, without him, I would have died in Taixing.
I couldn't carry him on my back, and I didn't want him to be exposed to the air and rot quietly, I wiped away my tears, my heart was like a knife, I had come to this point, he had said that even he could die in the process of searching for jade, who would have thought that it would become a prophecy.
I trembled and stretched out my hand, trying to pull his clothes on, just touched the collar, and suddenly remembered that the Mo family is numbered, those enemies must not have them, this is the easiest way to distinguish between the enemy and me, I didn't even think of it.
I didn't care about the pain in my body, I pulled open his clothes like crazy and fumbled, and soon I felt the inner pocket of my clothes, and there was a hard thing in it, I was startled, and quickly took it out, and under my hand was a cold metallic texture, diamond-shaped, with complex patterns.
My head buzzed like it had exploded, tears slid down uncontrollably again, my hands had no strength, and the metal pieces of my fingertips fell and hit the stone with a crisp sound.
It's Achuan, it's Achuan, I've been able to confirm it, I feel my chest suffocating, gasping heavily, reaching out again and picking up the piece of metal, clenching it tightly in the palm of my hand.
This is a symbol of the status of the Mo family, I can't take him away, but I can take this away, if I can take it out, Ah Chuan will also be considered to have returned to his homeland.
The number depression on the metal plate became hot between the fingers, and I could feel that it was "one", "six" and a complex character that I didn't recognize, and this strange "six" was still seen from Eleven, he was indeed not Eleven, and Nineteen had the Mo ancestor thousands of years ago in addition to his own, and this is not Nineteen.
It's all ruled out, he can only be Ah Chuan, I feel like I've been punched in the heart, and I'm so uncomfortable that I bend down, I guessed it a long time ago, but now it's confirmed.
There will be no other possibility, he must be Ah Chuan, I suddenly felt very cold, and shrank back, I don't know why he died here, it doesn't look like he is in danger around.
Doubts followed, how did he die? I reached out again and touched it, there was no blood on his face or body, I felt very awkward, and slowly stretched my hand along his sideburns to the back of his head, and before I could touch the back of my head, I felt the cold blood clot that had already dried up.
I was startled and retracted my hand as if I had been electrocuted, and I could clearly feel the back of his head sink as if it had been struck hard.
I reached out again and touched it carefully, and indeed, there was a big hole in the back of his head, and a raised stone ridge was inserted in it, and when I touched it down, I could feel that the bones in the back of his body were broken, and he had fallen from a high altitude and died.
This is not right, I retracted my hand, the place where he fell was so close to me, it was obviously a waterway on it, Ah Chuan couldn't have been in the water, and as long as he came out of the water, Ah Qing would see him, why didn't the fly see him?
I was puzzled, and suddenly remembered what Nineteen said, Ah Chuan fell into an invisible realm, which must be connected to the silent realm, otherwise Nineteen would not have noticed it, now that I think about it, he probably fell directly from two floors and died here.
The road here is complicated, and we must have gone around a lot, so this is where Ah Chuan fell in the first place, which can also explain why he fell to his death, and I was lucky to survive, he must have fallen much higher than me.
Invisible Places...... My whole body trembled like chaff, isn't this the place I can't see? Because of the panic, I forgot about it, and took it for granted that I had been blinded, but it turned out that this is the true meaning of the invisible, and this is an absolutely dark realm.
I was sure almost instantly, it must be so, even the realm of absolute silence appeared, and it was not uncommon for a place of absolute darkness to appear, and I still couldn't figure it out, and I didn't want to think that the island itself was contrary to common sense, like a jar of paint that could be covered with water.
Thinking about all this doesn't give me peace of mind, Ah Chuan is still dead, and the powerful Rumo family will also die, I still can't see anything, but those monsters hidden in it must be able to see me.
Hope was completely cut off, I always believed that Achuan was still alive, that we would be able to get out, even if I saw the corpse of the enemy, I did not waver, but my long-term persistence was shattered, and the facts were bloody.
My eyeballs became astringent again, and the piece of metal in my hand almost pierced the palm of my hand, and it was warm for me to hold, but the person in front of me could no longer warm up.
I don't want to stay here anymore, I'm not afraid of Ah Chuan's corpse, but I'm afraid of the fear in my heart, I have to walk on the road all the time to not think about these desperate things, Ah Chuan will die, it also means that Brother God and they will all die, and I am probably the only living person left on this island.
If that's the case, then what's the point of my journey? I don't want to look for jade anymore, I just want to go out, go back to the sky, go back to that ship, and never set foot here again.
But I knew I couldn't go back, the road ahead was hard, and it was the same to go back, I couldn't climb back into the waterways, I couldn't walk through the territory of hermits and invisible monsters, I couldn't even take down the human skins that could come back to life at any time, I couldn't fight the moving labyrinth, and maybe I would end up in the sand caves of tentacle monsters.
I turned around and washed the blood off my hands, and stuffed the metal pieces into my pocket, I couldn't stay here, it only made me more and more desperate until I committed suicide, I was afraid that I would become like Agawa, lying cold in the cave, blistered, crushed by the labyrinth, and turned into a twisted white bone.
I couldn't see anything, I didn't dare to stand up and walk, I could only put on gloves and half-squat, groping for obstacles ahead, I found the oxygen cylinder, it was not far from the backpack, the surface was pitted, but it didn't break, I also kicked Ah Chuan's backpack, this time I didn't hesitate, opened his backpack and took out everything that could be used inside.
Alcohol, bandages, hemostatic cream, the shape and size of the equipment were familiar, I stuffed them into my medicine bag, and I took two flashlights, and most importantly, water, all unopened.
