Chapter 6: The Man in the Wall
There was silence in the room, and Gu Zhiming felt like he was in a pitch-black cave, with countless pairs of strange red eyes staring at him greedily trying to suck up his blood.
He looked up like a window, but fortunately, he didn't notice anything unusual. But when he went upstairs, the red light seemed to cast a shadow on his heart.
Everything was in the cave frescoes, all the truth, he really wanted to end it all right away, even if it was a gamble with his life. In the past, he would never think like this, it is better to die than to live, which is almost his life creed. Everything he has experienced in the past few days has changed his mind like a ripening agent.
He went back that night in horror, and the malfunctioning school camera was reinstalled, thanks to which he had put away the documents his father had left for him, including the inexplicable cardboard
School reopened on time, but this incident has cast a shadow on many people's hearts and has become a topic of conversation among people with some hormonal impulses.
Almost all the people in the class came, except for Yang Qianxue.
Gu Zhiming thought that she might be frightened, as its so-called childhood sweetheart, he thought he should go to visit, after all, the two families were very familiar.
Gu Zhiming bought a lot of snacks that she loved to eat, and took the bag to their house to find her after school. After Yang Qianxue's mother welcomed Gu Zhiming, she said that Yang Qianxue had been in the house for the past few days, and she had never been out of the house except for eating, and her complexion had been bad.
Gu Zhiming's heart was also sour, he walked to her door and knocked, but no one was watching the door, and he shouted again.
There was still no movement in the house......
Just when Gu Zhiming was a little anxious, the door clicked open.
A delicate voice said to him as if she had just woken up
"Come in, I've got something to say to you."
Gu Zhiming saw Yang Qianxue wearing pink cotton pajamas, her hair was scattered, her face had lost a lot of weight, her eyes were a little blue, and her face was haggard. In the past, her face was as pure and flawless as beautiful jade, her eyes were beautiful and full of aura, her long hair was human, and her posture was slender, as if a jade rabbit had descended to earth, lively as a water fairy, and quiet as a spiritual grass. There is no queen arrogance, no Lori's coquettishness. Recognize the face of cherry blossoms and smell the elegance of lilacs.
Her room is still as neat and warm as her desk, reasonably planned and comfortable, which is completely in line with her cleanliness and emotional delicacy.
In Gu Zhiming's impression, Yang Qianxue will always be the purest and most wonderful existence, and he has been looking forward to it since he was a child. But Yang Qianxue's first sentence after closing the door surprised him.
"I was there on the night of the crime."
Gu Zhiming was surprised, it was a murder that happened at about eleven o'clock in the evening, and he followed Uncle Zhang at ten o'clock.
Yang Qianxue's voice trembled a little and said: "When I passed by that night, my books had not been returned, and the library should have been closed, but I wondered why it was still open at night." ”
She recalls with some nervousness: "At that time, the lights in the archive room were off, and I went upstairs alone to return the books, but when I walked to the stairs after I finished changing, I suddenly heard a loud noise below. It was as if something had shattered, followed by a screeching sound, as if something had been scratched through glass. ”
"I was so frightened that I hid and out of the darkness I saw a pair of red eyes, and I was so frightened that I almost fainted. It's scary! She closed her eyes and said in a voice mixed with a cry.
Gu Zhiming sat next to her, patted her on the back, comforted her, and motioned for her to continue.
"Because at the gate of the first floor, by the moonlight, I can faintly see a black shadow, and I can go in quickly, and I can't even tell whether the guy is running in or floating in, it is a black shadow." Yang Qianxue stabilized her heart and said
Immediately afterwards, a hoarse voice came from the room, shouting: Why! Why me!! I will curse you when I go to the underworld, and my soul will make you shudder! You devil from hell! ”
After saying that, she covered her face with her hands and began to cry.
Gu Zhiming looked distressed for a while, and his eyes fell lonely. I thought to myself: Why? Why would a young female college student go through this? Maybe it all had something to do with me, and she wouldn't have been so frightened without me.
That day, Yang Qianxue told Gu Zhiming that she waited until dawn that night before daring to go home. When Gu Zhiming was about to leave, Yang Qianxue kept him because she was afraid. Gu Zhiming also blamed himself and stayed until the evening before leaving.
That night, Gu Zhiming walked on the bed, his eyes closed, recalling the blood-soaked memories. In order not to cause trouble to his mother, who was on a business trip, he kept silent about her on WeChat. But he knew that this matter might also have something to do with his mother, at least some of my father's things, she knew better than me. If there were no such things, maybe he was playing the glory of kings with his classmates and eating chicken, and Yang Qianxue would wait for me to chat on WeChat, and then read his favorite books. Gu Zhiming instantly felt that he was sinking deeper and deeper into a dark whirlpool, he just wanted to be an ordinary person, he was mediocre, this was what he thought of himself. It doesn't matter about existence, it is true that this humble taste is not pleasant, and occasionally unwilling. But when the opportunity to show himself came, he always didn't have the courage. He felt that he was a natural supporting character, and that he was the youngest of the flock. For the first time in the night, he was so calm and surprisingly calm, and his personality and heart were deeply dissected by the logic of his thinking......
"Dingding!"
At this moment, Gu Zhiming's WeChat message alerted, and the table next to him vibrate, and a pillar of light instantly reflected in the darkness.
He opened his eyes and picked up his phone to look at it, and immediately started to do it.
The V-Venduda chat box has a red exclamation point.
"How are you thinking, I'll pick up something tomorrow night"
It is followed by a cute rabbit meme with a carrot, which looks ridiculous.
Gu Zhiming didn't reply, he knew that time was getting tighter and tighter, and he had to make a decision quickly, what to do.
Isn't it time to go to the mountains to explore the truth and solve all the mysteries, and unravel the mystery of the monster that travels at night. Otherwise, the people around you will ...... one by one He didn't dare to think about it anymore
The next morning, he saw a traffic jam in front of his home. I asked in the crowd:
Yang Qianxue is missing......
Seeing her mother crying and anxiously telling the police: "I came to knock on Qianqian's door this morning, but no one responded, I felt that something was wrong, and asked my neighbor to knock the door open and found that it was empty, and the phone was still charging, except for the window." I wonder if Qianqian was kidnapped by the bad guys. Woooooooo ”
The policeman said in an official tone: "We don't dare to make a conclusion about this, but if it is a kidnapping case, the criminal will send a message to the family asking for money." ”
This eighty percent is related to the monster, Gu Zhi thought to himself.
Angry and hateful in his heart, a deep self-blame surged into his heart: it was all my carelessness, if I had realized her danger earlier, maybe it wouldn't have been like this.
I looked at the date and time displayed on my phone, July 15, eight o'clock in the morning. Gu Zhiming finally made up his mind to go to the mural to find out.
The school heard the news of Yang Qianxue's disappearance, and there were many discussions, and one strange thing after another happened around them. Those gossip gods seemed to have been unsealed, showing their might, making the incident more and more unbelievable.
The most abnormal is Wang Ling, whose soul is unguarded and his eyes are dull. He has always been shrewd, but at this time he seems so pale and powerless. Gu Zhiming understands him a little, and often seems to be the most scumbag, like the first person in the world, but he will hang himself on a tree that he accidentally touches, and sometimes, this is their life.
It was a cloudy day, and I was in class looking out the window at the clouds and drifting in the wind. Clouds are the most real and the most false beings, and no one ever treats them as indispensable, but when they do, they obscure the sun.
Gu Zhiming decided, according to the original plan, to give those files to Lu Xiaochuan, the strange guy, and according to what he said, follow him to the place where the mural is located, the village where his father used to take pictures, and the cave in the wilderness.
In the evening, he found the avatar of the V-word vendetta team and sent it on WeChat, and Lu Xiaochuan posted a few cute rabbit ears as usual, which made people cry and laugh.
"I'll give you what you want tonight, and according to what you said, we can work together, but you have to reveal to me all the truth you know."
"Okay, no problem, Zhiming, I thought you would choose this way. I'll be waiting for you in the basement of your house tonight," he returned in seconds
Gu Zhiming frowned suddenly, and thought to himself:
Basement?! How would he know?!
Sensing that something was wrong, he ran home as fast as he could, found the key to the basement, and ran down the dark staircase.
In the dark, in the direction of the basement of Gu Zhiming's house, I saw a tall figure, holding a flashlight to find a piece of light on the wall.
That's right, it's him, Lu Xiaochuan!
Gu Zhiming rushed over and asked loudly:
"How do you have the key to our basement?!"
Lu Xiaochuan smiled meaningfully: "Of course I know, this is my territory." ”
Gu Zhiming was a little puzzled in his heart, and just wanted to continue asking.
"I know what you're trying to say, it's not the question now, I know where the monster is." Lu Xiaochuan said calmly.
"Where?!" Gu Zhiming asked almost reflexively.
"It's right here!!"
Over here?? What's the situation?? He was a little overwhelmed
Lu Xiaochuan added:
"Within this wall, to be exact." It was as if he was observing something.
Gu Zhiming opened his mouth and just wanted to ask,
"Bring the hammer!" Lu Xiaochuan said calmly in an ordered tone.
Gu Zhiming had no master for a while, so he had to find the hammer in the toolbox in the basement and hand it to him.
After Lu Xiaochuan took it, he slammed it towards the wall of the basement in front of him. I only heard "Smack!" followed by the clattering of the walls,
He smashed it a few more times, like a blacksmith in a dimly lit basement. The old wall slowly cracked, and Gu Zhiming couldn't help but weaken his legs when he saw what was exposed inside.
That's a bloody hand!! The flesh had rotted away, emitting a foul stench, and the hoarse gesture seemed to be about to break the corpses of the people outside the walls!
Gu Zhiming's scalp was numb, and he panicked in his heart.
It looks like this monster has been sealed in the wall for many years. What's going on?? Where did this arm sticking out of the wall come from?
An image came to his mind at this point, a bloodthirsty mad ghost sealed against the wall. But how did it get sealed there?
"Boom! Boom!! Lu Xiaochuan had enough strength again, and smashed the wall with a hammer in his hand.
With the sound of stone slag and dust falling, the other hand was exposed, covered with fingers. Gradually, the third hand, the fourth hand.
A dinosaur-like foot was also exposed, followed by a horn that seemed to grow out of its head. Gu Zhiming could imagine that this monster must have broken free with all its strength before it was sealed here, but it couldn't break through the solid wall.
Slowly, the shocking limbs were revealed little by little. Gu Zhiming couldn't imagine what kind of deformed monster this was, and he even wanted to escape, but his mind told him to stay here, and he would see a "landscape" that he would never forget for the rest of his life.
Finally, the naked and deformed monster was unobstructed in front of the two of them, and in the dark basement, the flashlight was like a stage light, illuminating the terrifying demon in a particularly hideous light.
Even in a nightmare, I can't imagine that there would be such strange and deformed monsters in the universe in the world!! If I had to describe it, it would be an evil spirit from hell!!
I looked at the corpse with a shudder......
Suddenly, it was as if an electric current flashed through Gu Zhiming's mind.
This monster's face, where did he seem to have seen it......
