Chapter 32: Loopholes
The miner's lamp above could only illuminate a small area in front of him, and farther away, it was pitch black.
That darkness seems to swallow everything.
The whole space was empty, there was no wind, no light, no sound.
Nothing but footsteps.
It's like a forgotten world.
After walking for a long time, Yan Luo began to doubt his own situation.
Is she really walking on the stairs? Or is this originally a void world with no end.
Either down, or up.
To the left or to the right, you will fall into the endless abyss.
"Little friend?" Yan Luo tried to shout.
There was only an echo in response to her, and in this silent space, it was very eerie.
Yan Luo stopped talking, and there were some distorted echoes around her, making her feel as if she had come to another world.
After walking for a long time, Yan Luo finally saw a small figure, standing on the stairs in a daze.
Trotting over, Yan Luo saw the appearance of the figure clearly, it was the little boy.
The little boy looked ahead blankly, motionless, and suddenly stretched out his finger and pointed down.
Where he pointed, there was still endless darkness.
"It's good to go to the end, don't be afraid." Yan Luo said to the little boy.
The little boy nodded obediently and continued to walk behind Yan Luo.
"If you're scared, call out to your sister." Yan Luo was afraid that he would suddenly stop again, and reminded.
But after Yan Luo finished speaking, he didn't see a voice behind him responding, and when he turned around, the little boy was still that well-behaved.
He nodded and agreed.
The two of them continued to walk for a long time, so long that Yan Luo had lost the concept of time.
She felt the little boy stop again, and looked back at the little boy pointing at her with a look of horror on his face.
After a while, Yan Luo reacted, and the little boy was not pointing at her, but behind her.
She jerked her head back, and it was pitch black behind her, and she couldn't see anything.
Perhaps, what the little boy is afraid of is not what is in the darkness at all, but the darkness itself.
"Are you afraid of the dark?" The little boy shook his head and did not speak, the fear in his eyes undiminished.
"What about you...... What do you see? The answer was still the little boy's head.
That's when she finally noticed a problem.
Ever since she noticed that the little boy was not following her, and she turned back to find the little boy, the little boy had not said a word.
Yan Luo had a reason for her to go down, but the little boy didn't, it was really too difficult for him to let such a young child follow him to such a terrifying place.
However, Yan Luo was worried that it would be dangerous to leave him alone outside and face that kind of thing.
After a long silence, the little boy finally spoke, but the first sentence surprised Yan Luo.
"I remember, I've been here before." The little boy said slowly, word by word.
"Can you tell my sister everything you see?" Yan Luo intuitively felt that what the little boy saw that time must be very important.
The two of them sat down on the steps, as if they were sitting in the middle of an endless dark void world.
In such a strange environment, Yan Luo listened to the little boy talk about what he had seen and heard.
"There are a lot of people in white clothes with face coverings, walking around here. They are not from our village and do not speak our native dialect.
There are quite a few of them, all of whom are Caucasian.
At the head was a young man with glasses. The young man had a very elegant temperament and looked very cultured. Whether it's the Caucasians, or the people who wear white clothes and masks, they all listen to him.
But at the same time, he is very cold, and everyone is afraid of him.
This is the place he brought me here.
He walked in the middle of the group, holding a furry animal in his arms, not recognizable to what it was, but a little like a weasel.
There were many men in white who surrounded him, and they seemed to have quarreled.
Vaguely, I seemed to hear them say that they were going to experiment on me, but the young man disagreed.
I was tied and carried on my shoulders, and I was scared because all the people who did the experiments were going to turn into the kind of monsters that didn't make people and ghosts.
Then, a very tall white-skinned woman, holding a gun, pointed at the young man, she was very fierce, saying that the young man was not Jiang Shen, and Jiang Shen would not disobey the boss's orders. The woman questioned him about who he really was.
But the young man was very calm, he did not speak, but only combed the fur of the animal in his arms.
The young man said that the boss didn't work that way, he had a better way, but he needed a woman to take him to the reference room.
The woman also seemed a little jealous and didn't dare to really shoot, she was very unconvinced, but she still led the young man on.
At this time, the person who was walking in front came from a scream, and someone fell.
The woman hurriedly stepped forward to check, and the young man was still standing there, as if everything around him had nothing to do with him.
The whole team stopped, and the woman took out her gun again, saying that there were ghosts among them.
The women looked at me one by one, including me, and the way she stared at me when she pointed a gun at me still makes me creepy when I think about it.
Finally, the woman pointed the gun at the young man's head and asked him, "Is it you?"
The young man still followed the fur of the animal in his arms, as if everything around him was more interesting than the animal in his arms.
The woman fired a shot at the ceiling and shouted, is it not you!
Everyone was taken aback by her.
The young man picked up the animal and lifted it up to the woman, he was calm, and said, "Do you need any other proof?" Who else but me can tame the citrus?
They called that strange animal a citrus orange.
The woman breathed a sigh of relief and seemed to be much more relaxed than before.
She looked at the young man and warned him not to play any tricks, not to go against the will of the boss, because his brother's life was still in the hands of the boss.
The young man was calm and said he understood.
Then the woman told all the other people in white to go up and not to follow, and the man who was carrying me knocked me unconscious, and then, when I came back to consciousness, I was in the big house and never went out again. ”
After the little boy finished speaking, his face hung down all the time, and Yan Luo couldn't see his expression.
"Stop acting." Yan Luo suddenly said to the little boy.
Seeing the little boy raise his head in astonishment, Yan Luo's eyes gradually became cold: "Who asked you to tell me this paragraph?" ”
"No...... It's my own personal experience......" The little boy hurriedly waved his hand, and there was a hint of panic in his eyes.
Yan Luo sneered, without the slightest intention of believing it, she looked down at the little boy, with round eyes and a very well-behaved appearance, even if she was exposed by her now, she was not completely at a loss.
Very good.
"There is a person who asked you to tell me this paragraph to tell me that Jiang Yan has an older brother who is related to this laboratory, right?" Yan Luo sighed: "It's just that what you said is too full of loopholes." ”
