Chapter 5: Unspeakable Terror
Fourth day of confinement......
Chu Cheng was awakened by the pungent smell of blood! At this moment, he is like a demon crawling out of purgatory. The whole body, along with the surrounding walls, was stained with blood from his madness!
But for some reason, after a series of madness, Chu Cheng actually felt that the pain in his body had been reduced a little today, and the restless anger in his body was even more abnormally calm.
However, this rare calm made Chu Cheng have a bad premonition in his heart.
Why? Chu Cheng couldn't figure it out, and seemed to have an answer in his heart, but after thinking about it carefully, he had no clue.
At this moment, a cold war suddenly struck Chu Cheng's body. However, after the convulsions, the warmth of anticipation did not appear.
Chu Cheng had seen in books that a person fights cold in order to quickly burn his own fat to get calories to resist the external cold. But after this cold war, Chu Cheng didn't feel the long-lost heat.
A strong sense of crisis immediately came to mind! At the same time, an indescribable burning sensation began to surge all the way from the soles of his feet, rushing towards Chu Cheng's brain!
Chu Cheng finally knew where his uneasiness came from. This is a precursor to a nervous breakdown! It's like a mentally ill person in a mental hospital who is in a state of unusually lucid state before falling into a more insane state!
"Could it be...... I'm going to die here! "The terrible thought that suddenly came to my mind was like the last straw that broke the camel's back. As this thought appeared, that scorching anger began to frantically wash away Chu Cheng's only remaining sanity like a flood bursting its banks, as if it was about to break the last line of defense in the depths of his consciousness!
Chu Cheng, who couldn't bear the pain, let out a long roar, and began to attack everything as far as his eyes could see, the blood stains flying from his fingertips mixed with the skin and flesh all over his body, flying in the small space of the confinement room, the double torture of body and spirit, like hundreds of millions of poisonous insects constantly gnawing every inch of his flesh and blood, every wisp of soul.
At this moment, Chu Cheng no longer has a sense of pain, and he has no concept of blood. is completely relying on instinct to attack everything, including himself, as if to preserve the last bit of clarity in his heart through this crazy way of venting!
Chu Cheng instinctively knew that if he lost even this bit of wisdom, he would really not be far from death!
"Uncle Brian, why are you deceiving me! Why leave me in this place to die! Why! I don't know how long it took, Chu Cheng, who was overdrawn in a lot of physical strength, suddenly knelt on the ground with his legs, his hands on the ground, and gasped for breath. The frantic struggle before had driven him to the point of running out of oil.
In fact, Chu Cheng's performance is enough to be proud. Previously, in order to prevent too many negative rumors, the village chief and the deacons deliberately blocked the news to cover up the cruelty and horror of the confinement room.
You must know that most of the people who have been locked up in confinement throughout history have gone insane within three days and died in confinement soon afterward. And Chu Cheng, a child, actually survived four days, which can already be regarded as a miracle.
"Mom, help me!"
In the middle of the sound, Chu Cheng suddenly fell to the ground. With crystal tears welling up from the corners of his eyes, the light in Chu Cheng's eyes became weaker and weaker, and even the crazy roar in his throat turned into a whining sob.
At this moment, Chu Cheng has fallen into a complete death, and when this last bit of strength is exhausted, the god of death will ruthlessly take his life!
But right here, some kind of vague whispering suddenly appeared in Chu Cheng's ears again!
Chu Cheng opened his eyes with the last strength of his strength, and saw that not far from him, a ring with an iron chain was flashing with a hazy light, as if urging him to carry himself on his hand.
It's like a drowning person, struggling to grasp the last straw! Chu Cheng followed the last instinct of his life, used the last trace of strength accumulated in his body, and put the ring on his index finger.
"Boom!" In an instant, the whole world seemed to be turned upside down in front of Chu Cheng's eyes!
In the next second, a strange light began to flicker along the extension of the ring. Under the infiltration of this brilliance, Chu Cheng's physical strength, which had already been squeezed clean, actually returned to him little by little.
Chu Cheng tentatively moved his hands and feet, confirming that this feeling was not an illusion, but then he was stunned.
At this moment, although there is still pervasive darkness around him, the restraints that imprisoned him in the darkness have disappeared!
That's right, the surrounding walls and the roof that imprisoned Chu Cheng actually disappeared at some point. Chu Cheng stood up in shock and tried to walk forward, but he didn't encounter any obstacles.
"What's going on?" Chu Cheng was horrified in his heart, but this horror was quickly replaced by the joy of escaping death. The physical strength and reason returned to the body, giving Chu Cheng a feeling of being reborn from the fire!
"Could it be that this ring saved me and teleported me somewhere?" The sudden brightness of the surroundings cleared the heat in Chu Cheng's chest. At this moment, he was like a traveler lost in the dark, and he subconsciously began to explore this darkness.
The hazy glimmer of light emitted by the ring could only barely illuminate the two meters around Chu Cheng. This made Chu Cheng unable to distinguish the direction at all, and could only keep walking in one direction towards the depths of darkness.
And as Chu Cheng continued to go deeper, the darkness around him became more and more intense! This feeling was not an illusion of idealism, because Chu Cheng could clearly see that the two-meter visibility brought to him by the ring was shrinking under the pressure of an invisible external force.
What made Chu Cheng even more uneasy was that he always felt that something was slowly squirming in a place where the light of the ring could not shine, making a disgusting sound.
The invisible fear penetrated Chu Cheng's body again. Chu Cheng subconsciously felt the danger, and under the coercion of this danger, the movements under his feet gradually changed from brisk walking to trotting, and then from trotting to rushing wildly.
In the darkness, the creepy creep sound gradually became clear, as if something was chasing Chu Cheng. At the same time, the sense of looming danger became more and more apparent...... What kind of danger it was, full of indescribable malice, full of saliva disgusting feeling, as if to eat him alive!
Chu Cheng ran wildly with all his might, and just when the slimy malice was about to reach his back, a hole with a flashing white light suddenly appeared in the darkness directly ahead.
Chu Cheng didn't even think about it, jumped over, and threw himself directly into the hole.
The moment he stepped into the cave, Chu Cheng felt that the space around him was reversed again. In the next second, Chu Cheng only felt a sudden opening in front of him, and what appeared in his field of vision was no longer thick darkness, but a vast unknown world!
Behind Chu Cheng, the vast crimson earth stretched to the end of the sky; And in front of Chu Cheng, the sparkling orange-yellow ocean was endless, and the layers of orange waves occupied almost all of Chu Cheng's field of vision!
Chu Cheng carefully picked up a handful of seawater with his hand with the ring, only to feel that his hand was sticky. This translucent orange-yellow water feels more like biomass than pure seawater.
If you just look at the red earth and the orange ocean, the world in front of you is indeed full of a strange beauty. However, what really shocked and incomprehensible Chu Cheng was the sky above him! The sky here was not azure, nor was it the pitch black that Chu Cheng was familiar with, but a distortion and chaos that could not be described in human language!
Looking at the distortion above his head, Chu Cheng felt as if he was staring into the abyss, and all kinds of negative emotions began to grow uncontrollably from the bottom of his heart, making him instinctively want to withdraw his gaze......
But at this moment, a mutation suddenly occurred! I saw that from the top of the chaotic sky, a distorted blood-red aura suddenly seeped downward! Then, the entire sky suddenly cracked open from the center, and then a huge and incomparable dragon eye appeared in the zenith! This dragon's eyes are extremely huge, almost occupying two-thirds of the cracked zenith, and just by weighing it by sight, it has a diameter of hundreds of kilometers!
With the appearance of this dragon's eyes, everything below immediately became condensed, and a great terror that was indescribable, like an abyss and a prison, instantly filled the entire world!
Chu Cheng's body seemed to be riveted in place at this moment, and he couldn't even move a little finger. This is not some kind of confinement, but before his conscious mind can feel it, his body has already taken the first step to feel the great danger! In the face of this great horror that seemed like the end of the world, his body was trying to tell him one thing in every possible way......
Don't move, you'll die!
At this moment, the huge dragon eyes suddenly shook back and forth, and the pupils of the dragon eyes swept across the orange sea and the scarlet earth, and finally turned straight to Chu Cheng, and then shrank suddenly......
"Boom!" In an instant, Chu Cheng only felt that the space around him had collapsed! In Chu Cheng's field of vision, everything he could perceive began to distort around this eye, and even the boundless earth under his feet squirmed violently like flesh and blood......
"Don't!" Chu Cheng subconsciously roared. In his last instinct to survive, his left hand suddenly burst out and ripped off the ring nested in his right index finger!
In an instant, the terrifying vision in front of me disappeared! Chu Cheng found himself still curled up in the small space of the confinement room, sweating like pulp, gasping for breath.
Chu Cheng touched his cheek and found that blood was actually spilling from the corner of his eye. This made Chu Cheng wonder if everything just now was not an illusion.
Chu Cheng sat up with palpitations, he didn't dare to recall the indescribable horror scene just now! It is no exaggeration to say that if the scene just now lasted for another second or two, it would definitely be enough to make him collapse and be scared to death directly!
"Fortunately, I was in a hurry and ripped the ring off in time." Thinking of this, Chu Cheng couldn't help but be afraid for a while, and hurriedly threw out the ring in his palm.
Looking at it now, this ring is really weird, and it's better to stay away!
But helplessly, the space in the confinement room was so large, the ring hit the iron door, and rolled back to Chu Cheng's feet with a grunt.
Seeing the ring rolling back, Chu Cheng suddenly panicked in his heart, and the whole person subconsciously dodged, but his head hit the low ceiling of the confinement room firmly, and he grinned in pain.
At this moment, on the ring discarded by Chu Cheng, a burst of brilliance suddenly flashed. A large number of mosaic squares, somewhere between reality and illusion, began to emerge out of thin air in the center of the ring.
These mosaics shimmer with a large number of elaborate codes, and finally slowly condense into a vague humanoid light and shadow.
