Chapter 13: The Shadow
The cave was quiet under the fluorescent light, and everyone turned their eyes on Gu Zhiming.
"I know the true face of that red shadow, this hydra. It hypnotized me first, then tied my body to suffocate me, and vaguely I saw its head, as if it had a human face......" Gu Zhiming said with palpitations.
Su Yao frowned and said, "Look, if this is the case, the creatures that exist in this cave are all printed on the walls, like cages for animals. But how did this torture heaven fly out and disappear? ”
Sun Cheng added, "Maybe this is not Xingtian, but a moth man." ”
Gu Zhiming also thought of it all of a sudden: Yes, this is it, because the hydra suddenly thought of the animals in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas", and naturally thought that this was Xingtian, but in fact, this is the terrifying creature in today's folk rumors-the Moth Man.
"I see, if that's the case, I've been looking around for a trace of the Mothman, but I haven't found it, and I've been thinking about it just now. Could it be that the Xingtian in the ancient book "The Classic of Mountains and Seas" is this moth man? Qiu Mingfeng said thoughtfully, full of interest.
Su Yao pursed her lips again, as if she was a little angry, and said: "You said that monster, I also know, I remember that I seemed to have seen it in a certain newspaper, in short, it doesn't matter, first take pictures of the surrounding patterns, and then leave this cave and go inside." ”
Qiu Mingfeng sighed, and according to what she said, she was professional and skillful in finding angles to shoot every corner.
At this time, Gu Zhiming, Sun Cheng, and Wang Ling were whispering.
"Sun Fatzi, you and Wang Ling should also take a good look around, are there any clues, when the time comes, the three of us will have to unite, and those two people may not care about us at that time." Gu Zhiming said.
Wang Ling nodded and remained silent.
"Okay, okay, it's a big deal, let's just follow closely, and no one will be left behind." Sun Cheng said.
"If you don't fall behind, no one will be able to transfer the team..."Gu Zhiming said helplessly.
Sun Fatzi touched the back of his head with his hand and smiled embarrassedly.
"Don't forget our ultimate goal," Gu Zhiming said again
"You don't need to say that," Wang Ling added this time.
"Rescue Yang Qianxue!" The three men folded their hands together and swore solemnly.
Yang Qianxue's innocent smile was like the cherry blossom season, and the spring breeze blew on her face, which made Gu Zhiming's heart surge with a warm current. He will remember that every time he talks to others, he always wants to mention her from time to time, but every time he wants to say nothing, for fear that others will have other eyes, but in fact, it is he himself who is confused.
Maybe it's just wishful thinking, always yearning for the beauty of others, just like talking to an angel to be proud of, but the angel may not remember.
The only sound in the cavern was the clatter of cameras and flashes.
"There's no mistake, this place has just been visited!" Su Yao said loudly to a few of them on the side.
Except for Qiu Mingfeng, the other three people were all surprised.
"Yes, that's what I thought too. But I still don't know how it got in, but I don't know how to know for sure if it's human. Qiu Mingfeng still said calmly, with a confident look, and asked a question.
"This must be the person, this palm print, and this trace made to mark the road, the engraving is still very new, and it can be judged that this is the most recent, yesterday or today." Su Yao said with a smug face. Qiu Mingfeng, who was opposite, nodded, as if a teacher had received a satisfactory answer.
"Yes, you're so right, Susan, you're really young." Qiu Mingfeng said praisefully, his voice and demeanor were not ordinary and embarrassing.
Su Yao snorted lightly, pointed to the passage next to her, and announced loudly:
"Everybody go this way! Follow me! ”
The medical trio and Qiu Mingfeng walked towards the deeper tunnel step by step, and at this time, somewhere on the wall of this cave seemed to be distorted, swallowing a person's shadow.
The bizarre and strange in this world will always exist necessity and coincidence. A clue, like a key, can pry the entire iron door open at once. If it weren't for this shadow, perhaps the story would have been rewritten.
They formed a formation, Gu Zhiming was in the middle, Su Yao and Qiu Mingfeng were in the front, and the two in the back were Sun Cheng and Wang Ling. Sun Cheng was stroking the wall, and at the same time, he kept using the knowledge in his brain to connect with the wall, thinking of a database that would be continuously included and summarized. Wang Lingmu followed behind with a sneer, staring at the wall.
Qiu Mingfeng held his angular chin with his hand, lowered his head slightly, and muttered quietly as he walked: "Did I do the right thing just now?" Shouldn't she satisfy Su Yao's self-esteem, will she be satisfied? Don't you think I'm incompetent...... It's a pity I've already let her say it. Is this a sign of my improved emotional intelligence, I don't think I did anything wrong this time.... Oops, it should be ...... next time."
The paintings on the walls are exactly the same as when they came, all of them are scenes from the Great War of the Age of Dinosaurs. In this way, they slowly descended the steps, holding on to the stone wall next to them, and at this time, the pattern on the stone wall finally changed.
It was a man, a man with three heads and six arms, who grew from a dot, little by little, and finally grew into a giant deformed person, the size of which was three times the size of a normal person.
The pattern was eerily similar to the one in the newspaper, and they thought it was going to reveal the key to the puzzle.
The further down you go, the dimmer the fluorescent lights become, and the people on the walls seem to move little by little, and go down little by little, what is in the dark tunnel?
"Attention, everyone, there may be some special creatures here, too." Qiu Mingfeng smiled at Su Yao and said, "Yes, Susan." ”
"You still need to say it." Su Yao replied angrily. Qiu Mingfeng looked embarrassed at this time, and muttered in a low voice: "What's going on.... Why is his performance still unflattering. Next time, let's change the book to improve emotional intelligence. ”
With the gradient of fluorescent colors, the corridor seems to be spiraling, layer after layer, making people feel like they are in a dream, and there is no end.
Gu Zhiming felt that something was wrong, and lightly looked at Su Yao and Qiu Mingfeng, thinking about the next plan, whether he should continue to follow like this, or whether there was an organ here that could go directly to the deepest layer.
Su Yao and Qiu Mingfeng had a clear idea at this time, and they were both thinking about a question, when they first entered the tunnel and explored separately, this cave was like an underground city, with many rooms and how many secret rooms were there. But at this time, it is like a bottomless pit, trying to absorb them together.
At this moment, Sun Cheng shouted in horror from behind: "Oh no! Wang Ling... Ling he.. It's gone!! ”
Everyone turned around together, and sure enough, they didn't even see Wang Ling's shadow, and a good big living person evaporated? The problem is that there is only one way, and it is impossible to be left behind. Could it be that something from behind grabbed him? Then he didn't even dare to say anything?
"Maybe it's in the back, don't worry, wait for him." Su Yao said. Just when Gu Zhiming and Sun Cheng were puzzled and frightened, a voice like a clear spring extinguished their heat.
"I think I know that's what this underground cave city is all about." Qiu Mingfeng said unhurriedly, calmly, without the unnaturalness, contrivedness and embarrassment of the front.
"It's a big city, and down here, it's its heart!"
