Chapter 91: The Gate of Life and Death
The lifeless face in front of him suddenly spoke, which made Wu Yu, who was already nervous, relax a little. Since you can speak, it means that there is a real person in front of you, not some other mess.
Wu Yu nodded, and slowly lowered the voltage of the handle, but he did not turn it off. Unsure who the other party was, and even less sure what this person meant by appearing here, Wu Yu still looked at the other party vigilantly.
The other party looked at Wu Yu with empty eyes, and he couldn't guess what the other party was thinking for a while, but after Wu Yu's hand voltage was low, the other party said slowly: "Follow me, I'll send you out." ”
Wu Yu was stunned for a moment, this person appeared inexplicably, and then came such a sentence, for a while Wu Yu's mind was full of questions, and he was about to speak, but he saw that the other party had turned around and began to crawl in the direction of the passage.
Looking from behind, the other party's figure is as thin as it can be described as skinny. And if you look closely, the other party is not only very thin, but the color of the skin looks very poor, and an almost sickly white color makes the person in front of him look very weird.
After thinking about it, Wu Yu still decided to climb, after all, the passage behind him has been blocked, and there is only this road in front of him at present, although I don't know what this person means by sending Wu Yu out, but it is definitely unreliable not to go.
At that moment, Wu Yu followed this person and crawled outward, but crawling is crawling, Wu Yu's mouth is not honest. As he crawled, he asked, "Friend, who are you?" ”
The man in front didn't look back, and said lightly: "I don't remember who I am, but the kid who crawled out of here before called me Seventeen, he seems to know me, you can also call me Seventeen!" ”
Wu Yu was stunned for a moment, but immediately understood that the person in front of him should be one of the people in the group, otherwise he would not have the codename-like name of Seventeen. And he said that the person who climbed out in front of him must be Yu Chen. Yu Chen knows this person, does it mean that Yu Chen knows this place very well?
After thinking about it, Wu Yu asked again: "Then why did you come here, and who asked you to come?" ”
The person in front of him was stunned, and slowly turned his head to look at Wu Yu, his empty eyes still couldn't see anything, and Mu Ne's face was still expressionless, but Wu Yu could feel that the person in front of him seemed to have something to say.
Wu Yu exhaled deeply, but tried to keep himself staring into the eyes of the person in front of him, although it looked terrifying, Wu Yu knew that the other party might still be able to see it, or could feel that he was looking at him.
After a long time, the man slowly turned his head and continued to crawl, only after climbing twice, he said: "No one asked me to come, I have always been here, and since I have been here, I have been here." With that, he continued to crawl forward, and noticeably faster.
Wu Yu glanced at the person in front of him, the thin body was obviously caused by long-term malnutrition, but the limbs that were completely bones and almost no muscles could crawl quickly, I really don't know if this person's bones would hurt if they crawled on the ground.
Since the other party has sped up, obviously he doesn't want to talk to Wu Yu, Wu Yu can guess what the other party means, and he also knows that the other party must be a person with a secret. But if you don't keep up now, maybe you won't be able to get out of this passage, after all, if you are alone in the passage, the pressure in your heart is too great.
Gritting his teeth, Wu Yu hurriedly followed the man, but his physical strength did not recover much at this time, so Wu Yu's speed was not very fast. In addition, crawling before had made Wu Yu's limbs very painful, and now he can crawl completely by perseverance.
The person in front seemed to know Wu Yu's situation very well, although he accelerated at a faster speed, he always kept the same distance from Wu Yu, which means that he was deliberately waiting for Wu Yu.
At this time, Wu Yu was quite relieved, but the speculation about the identity of the other party did not stop, after all, there will definitely be a problem with the person who appears like this.
After crawling for about ten minutes, this is almost Wu Yu's limit, the pain in his body and the consumption of physical strength, Wu Yu almost has no ability to crawl forward. The pain in my limbs had turned to numbness, as if I had lost all of my limbs.
However, at this time, there was another fork in the road, and unlike before, this time the fork was three forks, and it was obvious that these three forks were much larger than the previous forks.
The place where the fork forks are located is about 1.5 meters high and about 2 meters to the left and right. Here, the man in front stopped crawling and sat himself down.
Wu Yu hurriedly climbed over, and when he looked at this place, Wu Yu's mood was somewhat better, after all, this place could allow him to barely bend over or sit upright, and no longer have to maintain the crawling posture of that animal.
The man sat against the wall on the side, glanced at Wu Yu and closed his eyes. Wu Yu didn't want to see that person's eyes, after all, an empty eye, only a white eye, it still looked terrible in such an environment.
Wu Yu sat across from the man, leaning against the wall to make himself comfortable. Taking out a cigarette from his pocket, Wu Yu thought about whether to give one to that person as well, and was hesitating, but heard the man say, "Is it a cigarette?" ”
Wu Yu was a little strange, the man's eyes didn't open at all, he just took out the cigarette from his pocket, how did this guy know.
However, Wu Yu still responded: "It's a cigarette, do you want one?" ”
The man nodded slowly, but still didn't open his eyes. Wu Yu felt a little strange in his heart, and he was very curious about the fact that this person could see the cigarette in his hand without using his eyes.
After thinking about it, he took out his lighter, lit two cigarettes in one go, and handed one of them over.
The man's slightly withered hand came directly to Wu Yu's hand when he stretched it out, and before Wu Yu let go of his hand, the man had already taken the cigarette.
Wu Yu smiled helplessly, but did not speak. From the action of the person just now to take the cigarette, there was no hesitation, and his hand was particularly steady, Wu Yu knew that the person in front of him would definitely not be as fragile as he seemed on the surface.
The man took the cigarette and still didn't open his eyes, but with his other hand, he directly ripped off the cotton from the cigarette fart, and then smoked the cigarette directly.
Wu Yu has seen this kind of smoker, it is said that there is no filter, and the tar and other substances of the cigarette cannot be filtered, and the harm will be higher, but the smoke will be more flushed.
Very few people smoke like this now, and if they do, they should be over 50 years old, and most of them have to smoke dry tobacco regularly.
Except for some communication between the two people when they were smoking, the others stopped talking, each smoking the cigarette in their hands, Wu Yu thought about the identity of the person in front of him, and the person in front of him still closed his eyes.
The man in front of him looked like an old smoker, and he almost smoked his cigarette before he put it out. Wu Yu really wanted to say buddy, there is still this, if you are willing to smoke it, I will give it to you. But before Wu Yu could speak, the man suddenly walked towards the passage on the far right side of the three-fork.
When he walked to the entrance of the passage, the man turned his head and glanced at Wu Yu, and said slowly: "Let's go!" There's not much time left, you need to get out of here quickly, or you'll be here forever like me. ”
Wu Yu was stunned, a little unaware of what this person meant, and asked what it meant, but the person didn't look back and drilled the passage, not giving Wu Yu a chance to ask questions at all.
didn't have time to think about it, Wu Yu immediately followed. However, as soon as he entered this passage, Wu Yu could feel the difference in this place.
Compared with the previous passage, which could only be crawled, the most obvious difference here is the height and width, the opening still needs to be crawled, but after crawling about ten meters, the front becomes a passage where one person can walk upright, and the direction of the passage is also deflected.
Wu Yu basically understands the structure of the eighteenth layer, because there is a soul devouring jade as the title map, and Wu Yu can figure out the general main structure and direction. The deflection here is obvious, but because the overall arc of the passage is relatively large, it is impossible to determine how much it has deflected in its forward direction internally.
Because it was changed to walking, Wu Yu and the person in front of him invariably sped up their speed, after all, walking saves a lot of effort than crawling, and the speed is much faster.
After another twenty minutes, there was another fork in front of me, but this time the fork was interesting, it was no longer the direct intersection of the previous one, but two iron gates that looked a little familiar.
The man in front of him stopped, pointed to the two doors in front of him, and said, "I can only send you here, and you need to walk the road yourself." ”
Wu Yu glanced at the two iron doors in front of him, and couldn't help but ask, "Which way?" ”
The man shook his head: "I don't know, this is the eighteenth layer, you have heard of the eighteenth layer of hell!" Behind the door in front of him is to the ground, and the other is to nothingness. I can't get out of here, so I haven't entered either of these doors, so it's up to you to choose. ”
Wu Yu frowned, feeling that this guy's skills were similar to Xue Hao's, but this place was really weird, and Wu Yu didn't want to go back to the previous passage, so he simply took out all the remaining cigarettes and handed them directly to the person in front of him: "You keep it for smoking!" If I go out, I'll send you two more when I get a chance. ”
The man glanced at Wu Yu, but didn't say anything, just took the cigarette with his withered hand, and then stared at Wu Yu.
Wu Yu walked directly to the door on the right, and put his hand on the doorknob to open the door. Wu Yu didn't believe that this person would not know which one was the exit, and when he was about to open the door, he still inadvertently glanced back at the strange person behind him.
Just at this glance, Wu Yu saw the man's wooden face, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly, although the angle was not big, but it was still captured by Wu Yu.
Wu Yu was funny in his heart, but he didn't show it, the flashlight shook back violently, the man was afraid of the direct exposure of the light, and suddenly dodged backwards, Wu Yu knew that he only had such a chance, so he immediately let go of his hand to grab the iron door on the right side, walked directly to the iron door on the left, opened the iron door and walked in.
