Chapter 11: The Masked Man
There was silence in the darkness, and the black shadow ran closer and closer like lightning, and a lifeless lead-gray face appeared in front of them.
Sun Cheng stood in front and glared at him with big eyes, dispelling all the fear in his heart. Gu Zhiming and Wang Ling's brains planned their escape routes like intelligent computers.
"Why are you here?" The lifeless face made a sound, dark, inattentive. You can faintly see that he has a good figure, a well-proportioned body, and slender legs.
The three of them were silent, only to see the masked man speak again: "How did you get here, what are you doing here, this place is dangerous, not for you." ”
A series of logical questions are like stringing pearls that they can't answer. But they knew for sure that it was a woman.
"We came to see the mural and stumbled upon a junction but we got lost. What about you? What are you here for, are you here? Wang Ling said boldly.
The masked man stood in front of them, smiled softly, and said, "I'm a professional mystery creature photographer, and I'm here to photograph the rumored monsters in the village. I read the news and thought that the mural must have something to do with monsters, so the cave looked for an opportunity. ”
The three of them were speechless for a while, she was not a monster, she was here to shoot a monster...... What about us? It's to find monsters and save people.
Gu Zhiming thought for a while and said, "Since that's the case, then we are all ordinary human beings", this sentence made him feel a little unreal, "By the way, have you seen our companions?" One is tall and wears a black jacket, the other has blonde hair and wears sunglasses. ”
The masked man thought about it, and after thinking about it, with blond hair and a black trench coat, could it be ...... Finally she spoke, "When I first came in, I did see people, but there were only three of them. Three people of different statures, I didn't look closely, I thought it was the archaeological team, so I ran away, after all, it was not good to be seen by them alone. ”
"Three people? How is this possible, that is not that there are still people following us? Sun Cheng said a little puzzled.
"It's hard to say this now, in short, everyone be careful. Since you ran out of it, what did you find, share it with us, let's team up and be more efficient. Gu Zhiming said.
"Hey, hey, who said she was going to team up with such a weird person, maybe she would be a ...... when she took off her mask," Sun Cheng said with some anxiety.
Wang Ling pushed Sun Cheng and motioned for Gu Zhiming to continue. Sun Cheng had no choice but to keep his mouth shut.
"I think you should be a very experienced explorer, we are not a burden, we are medical students, although we have no experience, but we can still find a way or something." Gu Zhiming said humbly that he now understands their current situation.
The masked man thought about it again and said:
"Hmm..... It's not impossible, but you have to make sure that you are completely at my command when your life is not in danger. The masked man said.
"You, TM...."Sun Cheng was anxious again. Wang Ling glared at him again and motioned for him to shut up.
"Okay, but at a critical moment, lives are at stake, and you don't expect us to ignore ourselves." Gu Zhiming replied.
The masked man nodded, "You also know that it is very dangerous to do this, it is considered a tomb robbery, and it is punishable, so in a sense, I have seen your appearance, and I already have the handle in my hands." For the time being, I won't take off my mask, please understand. ”
Sun Chenggang was about to speak, but he held back.
"Yes, you can." Gu Zhiming said.
"Then let's do it, the alliance has officially begun, you can tell me what you saw in it first." Wang Ling said on the side.
"Let's go inside, let's talk as we go," the masked said, knowing that if she did, they might not follow.
The four of them groped their way little by little, only the masked man, who was equipped with night vision goggles in her mask, and the three of them secretly scolded in their hearts: "The professional is TM with advanced equipment, and we are a miscellaneous person compared to others."
The words and ravines on the walls gradually increased, densely packed like the chips of integrated circuits. And then as these "passwords" go deeper and deeper, pictures take the place of words.
It was a great river, and there were countless strange-shaped fish in the river, and the people on the shore used this weapon to assassinate them one by one. They frowned when they saw it, and gradually the mural became an "exhibition" of each fish, and the carvings were surprisingly fine, as if they had been dissected little by little and then reassembled and collapsed onto the drawing board.
"My good dear, isn't this a plesiosaur, this is a blue dragon, that is an ichthyosaurus, a plate dragon, a sea dragon...... At that time, it was the Cretaceous period, how could there be humans riding on it, this seems to be the scene of a war, the battle of the ocean?! It's like science fiction! Sun Cheng scolded in surprise, but his expression was a little excited.
In addition to the masked man's inability to see his expression, Gu Zhiming and Wang Ling were also shocked by this scene.
In the age of the dinosaurs, the war erupted, the sky collapsed, the wind swept the clouds, and everything collapsed. Those human beings seem to be different from the current ones, as if they have three eyes, but other than that, they can't see any difference from ordinary people. It's very different from the deformed people in sculpture and frescoes.
They had come to a fork in the road, and at this time they did not intend to divide their troops into three ways, after all, such a move was too dangerous. They chose the widest path in the middle, and walked in little by little.
This time, the walls were as smooth as marble, and there was no information except for the lines. They let their guard down a little and chatted with each other about what was on the mural just now.
At this moment, two red lights suddenly flashed diagonally upward, shooting towards the place between them, cutting a furrow on the ground. The air suddenly became scorching, and all four of them were taken aback, and the masked man quickly looked at it with his night vision goggles and said loudly:
"Be careful! Ahead is a trap, this is no ordinary place! Don't act rashly, I can see the range of the laser through the night vision goggles, you follow me, be careful, this seems to be more than just a laser. As soon as the words fell, two hands pulled up from the ditch where the red light shone just now.
The whole cave wall shook a little, and some broken stones fell from it. The air was heavy and terrible, and everyone stared at the hands, ready to fight him to the death.
Suddenly, something from the ground appeared, a modern helmet, with a pair of eyes clear and transparent, as if X-rays could see through everything.
Seeing all this, the medical school trio held their breath.
Only the masked man took off his mask at once, and the face of a young Chinese woman with a slightly dark skin was exposed, this was the confident explorer, the only difference from the original was that:
She was crying, and the teardrops were so clear and crystalline.
