Hiding means lurking, it found us, it was waiting for an attack, we waited for another five or six minutes without hearing any movement, the air in front of us was still cold, and the smell of the dead scorpion behind us was too strong to tell what was inside by the smell.

It's not a scorpion or a human, what else could it be? I'm most afraid of intelligent monsters, and the place where the flashlight can shine is a long corridor, and no one knows what the depths are like, maybe there is a place to hide.

I quietly took out the flashlight and glanced at Lao Huang, that thing must be hidden in a place where the light does not shine, and it must not have imagined that the corridor would suddenly become brighter.

I raised the flashlight and turned it on quickly, and the corridor lit up a little in a flash, and I clearly saw a face appearing in the depths of the corridor, although it was far away, but the old face was extremely familiar, and it was clearly Professor Zhang who didn't wear glasses!

However, he disappeared in just an instant, so fast that I thought I was dazzled, Lao Huang also found out, his expression changed, and blurted out: "Old man Zhang? ”

One person may be dazzled, but two people will definitely not, Lao Huang pulled me: "It's him, right?" You saw that too, didn't you? How is it gone in the blink of an eye? ”

"Yes, it's definitely him."

My heart was beating fast, and it was really scary to see a face at first glance, fortunately it was an acquaintance, but unfortunately I didn't see his body clearly at that moment, only the pale face was particularly abrupt, but he was gone, even if he was frightened away by the sudden arrival of light, it shouldn't have been so soon.

Lao Huang and I glanced at each other, and I dared to speak into the corridor: "Professor Zhang, is that you?" ”

There was no response, no sound, and I was sure there was no movement at all the moment he vanished, and the strange "click" we had heard earlier didn't seem to be from him, but it was clearly only him in front of him.

"No, Daze, no, if it's him, why is he hiding? His glasses had fallen close to the main hall, and how did he get here, so far away? Besides, he should also have a flashlight on him, what is this scary thing to stand on the middle of the road in the dark? Lao Huang said a lot.

It's really wrong, but it's clearly Professor Zhang's face, when I first saw that pair of glasses, I thought he was fierce and lucky, I didn't expect him to be alive, but why did he avoid us, did he find out that we were accomplices of the Mo family, didn't he believe us?

"You forget, the space here will be transferred, maybe he will be transferred here while walking in the corridor." I spoke.

"It's also possible, it's not unusual for anything to appear in this ghost place," Lao Huang snorted, "What about his flashlight?" We don't squeak when we call him. ”

"It's not strange that the equipment was lost, he must have felt scared, he didn't dare to respond for a while, or he found something else...... By the way, did he suddenly disappear and move somewhere else? ”

Lao Huang's face immediately became strange, if it was really a transfer, it would be terrible, a big living person disappeared in the blink of an eye, and we witnessed it with our own eyes, is our transfer also so bizarre in the eyes of outsiders?

I was very panicked, saying so much was like a quibble, I knew how strange everything that had just happened, if it was really Professor Zhang, he would definitely speak out the moment he saw us, in all fairness, he was a very generous person, even if he found out that we had other purposes, he would not say a word, not to mention that this place is so terrifying, and he is a character with no ideas, how can he not speak out.

It's all self-hypnosis, I can only try to guess in the most reasonable direction, the corridor in front of me has become extremely weird, and the scene at that moment has quickly blurred, there is only a miserable white face in the darkness, nothing else can be seen, his body seems to melt in the darkness, only one face floats in the air.

I don't know if Lao Huang noticed this abnormality, but the more I think about it now, the more terrifying I feel, he seems to have no body, only a suspended head remains.

My breath became short, forcing myself to calm down, here Lao Huang also took out the wolf's eye flashlight from the backpack, snapped, the light in front of me was sheng, the whole corridor from beginning to end was presented in front of our eyes, unexpectedly, it was not long, the light reached the end, you can see that the top of the corridor has become a downward inclination, the end of the corridor is downward, I don't know whether it is a gentle slope or steps.

"Huh? Downward? Lao Huang shouted, "No wonder there is no shadow all of a sudden, is it going down?" ”

"Maybe."

I answered in my mouth, but I didn't agree in my heart, although the corridor was not long, it was fifty or sixty meters, and the distance we had just seen was at most thirty meters, and it was dozens of meters apart, and I didn't hear the sound of him running away, so it couldn't be running down.

If he hadn't run down, how would he have disappeared? I couldn't figure it out, so I could only think about running down and transferring space, and then a terrible thought suddenly popped up, did we really see Professor Zhang?

I didn't dare to think about it, as countless lessons in the past have taught me that most fears are to scare oneself, especially in this environment, and it is better to think more about the traffic in the big city.

"Let's go, go in and see, no matter how scary it is, can it be scarier than these scorpions? It's just an old man, and I'd like to see what the hell he can do. Lao Huang turned off the wolf's eye flashlight, pinned it to his waist, and pulled me to walk under the sand slope.

The two of us walked to the bottom, and the fishy smell finally faded, Lao Huang said boldly, but walked carefully, and we didn't find anything unusual until we walked to the place where Professor Zhang appeared.

Lao Huang was obviously relieved, how could I not, we walked all the way to the end of the corridor, only to see that there was indeed a row of downward steps in front of us, but it was not straight, but spiral, around a stone pillar with a diameter of nearly two meters, and it was dark and I didn't know where it led.

I can't stand this kind of endless stairs the most, the straight is okay, the spiral is the most terrifying, no one knows whether we are greeted by people or ghosts under the half circle, and the places that cannot be seen by the eyes will always make people think more.

"It's a blessing or a curse, it's a disaster that can't be avoided, let's go." Lao Huang made a gesture of please to me.

"Wait a minute, let's see how high the steps are, and count them." As I spoke, I squatted down and measured it with my hands, almost twenty-five centimeters, and it was quite evenly built.

Lao Huang was in front of me and I was behind, my hand propped up the wall and walked down against the outermost circle, I silently counted in my heart, only the top of Lao Huang's moving head in front of me, at first it was okay, but I was dizzy and dizzy after walking for a long time, and even his shadow was blurred.

For the first time, I felt that going down the stairs was also a sinful thing, my legs were sore, and now I can't stand still, my ankles hurt with every step, my head is dizzy when I turn in circles, and I don't know if I miss anything in my mouth, and I can't even count accurately.

I don't know how many times I turned, Lao Huang suddenly stopped, I walked mechanically, almost didn't hit him headbutt, only heard him speak: "Stop, stop, mom/, Lao Tzu's eyes are dazzled, how many have you counted?" ”

"Two hundred and forty-five," I said, adding, "probably not, I'm fainting, and there may have been a few times in between." ”

"Isn't that more than sixty meters, it's quite deep, this circle is round, we won't enter someone's cellar." Lao Huang muttered.

"It would be nice if it was really a cellar, I don't think Professor Zhang came here, he is so old, it's okay to walk on the ground, it can't be faster than us when he turns around and descends the steps, if he really comes, he should have seen it early."

Lao Huang turned his head to look at me, his eyes sharp: "It makes sense, I think his face is weird, a little ...... Forget it, don't think about him, love doesn't come. ”

Lao Huang said, turned his head and continued to walk down, the speed was obviously slow, I looked at his back and felt dizzy, not to mention that he looked at the circle of steps, it was still the same road, but we were walking more and more difficult, its depth also surprised me, I thought it would not take long to reach the end, but I didn't see the exit until three hundred and five.

Is there really an exit here? If we continue like this, will we reach the center of the earth? I suddenly had a terrible guess that since there was a spatial transfer, it would also appear here, and whenever we came to the end, it would send us back to a position not far from the point of origin.

I didn't dare to tell Lao Huang, if that was the case, I don't think we would be able to get out, whether it was up or down, it would definitely be endless, and we were trapped in the endless spiral staircase.

Walk another hundred floors, stop before you go out, I thought silently, my attention was all on counting, the hundred floors passed quickly, and there were still steps below.

I'm panicking, Lao Huang hasn't stopped yet, I relaxed the conditions for myself, and walked fifty more floors, if I haven't reached the end, I must tell Lao Huang.

Fate finally let me go, and after counting more than 20 floors, we finally stood on the flat ground, and at this moment we were more than 100 meters underground.

It's colder here than above, it's still very dry, we raised the flashlight to look, only to see that there is an empty hall in front of us, the walls are full of murals, two rows of stone pillars stand in the hall far away, here is exactly the same as the hall above!

I hurriedly turned my head to look, there were still stairs behind me, not in the open air, Lao Huang also turned on the wolf's eye flashlight, both the size and decoration here are the same as the hall above, but the people in the hall have changed, there is no scorpion tail corpse by the two rows of stone pillars, and there is no scorpion tail queen at the end of the hall, the flashlight swept away, only to see a crumpled corpse standing by the stone pillar, they are wearing armor, because the corpse is wrinkled and empty.

It's people, real people with legs, and for the first time, I think the corpses are not so scary, they are just normal people, a bit like the dried corpses in those houses, and their expressions are relaxed and not unusual.

There is nothing to dry the corpse, but this hall gives me an indescribable weirdness, the hall above is already underground, here is the underground of the underground, under our feet, will there be countless halls of the same kind?
