Chapter 49: A Long-Cherished Wish
Da Lei only felt that he had been falling in the dark, and he didn't know how long he fell, so he heard a "plop" and fell on a puddle of soft objects. Before he could react, a huge rancid smell and bloody smell came to his face, making him retch, almost throwing up.
There is no light here, endless darkness.
"Xiaohai...? Small..... "As soon as Da Lei shouted, the contents of his stomach were about to turn out.
It was pitch black, and I couldn't see anything clearly.
I could only feel that I was stuck with a soft and sticky liquid all over my body, which was extremely uncomfortable.
Da Lei shook his hand, his five fingers opened, but his hands were still stained with these unknown liquids, and he forced himself to endure nausea to rummage through the bag.
The backpack is already soaked.
Da Lei groped in it by feeling.
Fortunately, the flashlight didn't break.
After the flashlight was turned on, Da Lei first adapted to the light, and then saw Xiao Hai lying on his back with his face covered with his hands.
After a while, Xiaohai seemed to get used to the light, slowly lowered his hand, and just shouted: "Brother, I..."
Da Lei noticed that Xiao Hai's hands, face, and clothes were covered with bloody liquid, no... It's also on my own .... Wait a minute... It's where they fall! It's a big pool of blood!
Xiao Hai also seemed to find out, he was timid, he was scared, he looked around in a panic, and then stared at Da Lei with big eyes, "Mm-hmm!! The ground monster snorted, and his hand kept pointing and shaking.
Da Lei moved the flashlight in the direction of his finger and saw that there was a stone staircase over there.
The two of them nodded knowingly and rushed towards it.
It wasn't deep, but the blood was viscous, thick as mud. It was also mixed with unknown impurities, which stuck to his hands, legs, and arms, and kept surging into his nose with an unpleasant smell...... Although the two of them were not far from the stone shore, the disgusting touch of the blood water made it difficult for them to walk.
Finally arrived at the rocky shore, the first thing Xiaohai did was to quickly undress, and then climb up the stone steps like a loach.
Da Lei also took off his clothes, but he was not as exaggerated as Xiao Hai, he took a flashlight and stared thoughtfully at the bloody pool in front of him.
Why is it so thick?
He looked down at the crumbs stuck to his body, and suddenly.
It's not just blood here.
It should be at least a pool of blood made up of hundreds of people who were hanged.
It may be a corpse that has been hanged, or it may have been a living person.
Here is their blood, flesh, bones, entrails..... It's all crumbled at the moment.
No wonder.....
Da Lei knew where this was.
They came to another tomb.
Manju Sahua, the burial place of the cursed princess.
Like the tomb in the Octagon, it has the magic of 10,000 years of incorruptibility and eternal youth.
But why? Why did you come here?
If the first time you stepped into the Octagon was an accident, this time it must have been arranged in the dark.
That colorful dream...
The snow-white coffin in the dream....
When you wake up, you'll be led here.
Why....
Why, exactly?
Wait a minute!
Could it be .....?
Da Lei suddenly remembered something, and he looked down at the thing on his wrist.
Xiao Hai seemed to be almost rubbed, he got up and walked over, patted Da Lei's shoulder, and pointed behind him, there was a dark hole over there, and it seemed to be a tunnel inside, and it felt quite long.
Da Lei also wanted to leave this disgusting place quickly, and followed Xiao Hai away.
The corridor is very dark and quiet, and the walls and the top of the head are carved with intriguing portraits.
There are men and women in the painting, and they cover the entire corridor like a statue.
Da Lei glanced around twice with a flashlight, and if he didn't guess wrong, the people in these portraits should have become a pile of minced meat in the pool of blood.
Although it looks eerie, it is nothing compared to the pool of blood before.
"Brother, how long is this.... We've been gone for so long. ”
"If you go out, you'll know."
"Why don't we go back, that's where we got in anyway. In addition to the bloody pool, let's see if there are any other mechanisms or anything to get out. ”
"There's one thing you can't go out until it's done, and even if you do, you'll come back. This is not a coincidence, it is fate. ”
"Accomplish what?"
"We're in the cursed princess's tomb now, and all we have to do now is find the owner of the tomb and put a bracelet on her." Da Lei shook the white jade bracelet on his wrist, although this bracelet had just been stained with a pool of blood, it was still crystal clear under the dim vision.
"What do you mean? How do I listen to the confused ....."
"I had a dream about a huge snow-white coffin, very similar to the black coffin we jumped in. There is little difference between the two coffins except for the difference in color. So I guess the owner of the tomb must be lying in the white coffin, put a bracelet on her, and pay back her long-cherished wish, and we can leave. ”
"But how can you be sure she's waiting for this bracelet? What is the origin of this bracelet? Where did you get all these ideas? Xiao Hai was confused, and couldn't help but reach out and grab Da Lei and asked,
"Actually, I have been to the tomb of the princess who means auspiciousness."
Xiao Hai was stunned.
The two of them stopped, and Da Lei told Xiao Hai what happened in the Octagonal Building, including the fifth master and the mysterious figure in black.
After speaking, Da Lei sighed and said to Xiao Hai: "I know you remember Ganu, but the matter has come to this point, even if you want to go out now, you can't get out... I'm to blame for things, I'm sorry for you, and I'm sorry for Ganu. ”
Xiao Hai shook his head: "You don't want to either." ”
The atmosphere was extraordinarily solemn.
The two were silent for a while, and Xiao Hai suddenly said without a head: "Brother, in fact, I envy you." ”
"What?" Da Lei was stunned.
"You remember what happened before we passed out, but what about me? I can only think of some ...... intermittently Less pitiful. ”
"It's not necessarily a bad thing to remember it, and it's not a good memory anyway."
"Hmmm......"
"Let's go."
This Yongdao is amazing, the two of them have been walking and walking, not to mention Xiaohai, even Da Lei is about to run out of patience.
"Smack!" With a bang, the flashlight went out, and in an instant they fell into endless darkness.
It's ironic that it takes time for a person to get used to the light in the dark, but it takes an instant to adapt to the light in the light.
"..!" Da Lei cursed.
"What's wrong, brother?"
"It's out of power!"
In the dark passage, there was only the footsteps of the two of them.
Walking and walking, Da Lei stretched out his hand and shook it, and then put it down again. He muttered, "Strange..."
"What's wrong?"
"Whether it's at home or in the desert, no matter how long you stay in a dark place, your eyes will always see the outline of something in the darkness after your eyes adjust to the light. But here, how long have we both walked, and I still can't see your figure clearly, and I can't see my own hands clearly. I can't see my fingers... I can't see it..."
"What's wrong with that, it's normal, there's no light!"
"Yes, even with the faintest light source, we can see some outlines. But here... It means that even after walking for so long, we have not reached the exit, not even half of this road. ”
Sky....
"Brother..."Xiao Hai said, "Here... Could it be the legendary 'Hell Bridge'? ”
Da Lei trembled.
Thinking of Uncle Qi in the backyard of his hometown, he liked to tell stories to their brothers the most when he was alive.
Once, Uncle Qi said: "Don't cross the bridge when it's dark." If you're not careful, you'll be caught by a ghost. ”
"Why?" At that time, Xiaohai was still young, and asked innocently with his head tilted.
"The bridge leads to the coffin, and the coffin leads to death. As the saying goes, 'the door of the ghost is opened, and you come to prison across the bridge'. Uncle Qi stroked his beard, heard someone buying vegetables passing by, he coughed, and after the footsteps went away, he lowered his voice and said: "When it is dark, some bridges will become 'prison bridges', connecting to hell, the prison bridges are dark and long, you can't see the sky when you look up, and you can't see the shore from afar." This unlucky man is very likely to have been caught. So dolls, the words left by the ancestors are not unreasonable, and those who should be avoided should be avoided! ”
.........
Whether it's true or not, every time he crosses the bridge, Da Lei will think of Uncle Qi's words, and he will also try to avoid walking at night.
.........
"Brother?" Xiaohai asked, "Why don't you speak?" ”
"Ahh Da Lei came back to his senses: "It's nothing, don't think about it." We're both here, so let's go first. ”
The two of them walked in the dark, and Xiao Hai said without a match: "Will you be hungry?" There is no food or water. ”
As soon as he said it, he regretted it, and he wanted to ease the atmosphere and change the subject. The result is a more depressing and realistic one.
"It's fine." Da Lei said calmly: "Here, neither rot nor perish, neither old nor dead, neither thirsty nor hungry." ”
Da Lei dragged Xiao Hai tightly, for fear of separating again.
I don't know how long he walked, but he gradually saw the outline of Xiaohai's back clearly, and he was overjoyed: "It's time to go out!" ”
"Brother." Xiaohai stopped and pointed ahead: "Look, there's light ahead!" ”
Sure enough, there was a faint yellow light in front of me.
Seeing hope and being full of strength, the two of them quickened their pace and almost ran over.
When the tunnel came out, it turned out to be a secret room.
A huge white porcelain doll was in the center of the secret room, smiling at the two of them.
Xiao Hai and Da Lei walked out of the corridor and looked at the secret room with a blank expression.
There is no other exit except for the corridor behind him, and the secret room made of stone with the faint candlelight of two candles under the two walls is particularly depressing.
Especially this big white porcelain doll....
Almost as tall as Da Lei.
How to say it..
The porcelain doll is white and chubby, with two pigtails, sitting cross-legged on the ground and wearing a red belly pocket, and the eyebrows and eyes drawn out of the pen and ink hook are cute and lively.
But it's just.... Something was missing.
It seems to have been discovered, and it seems that it has not been discovered.
"Brother..."Xiao Hai stepped back, pulled Da Lei and whispered, "Don't you think this play should be weird..."
"Hmm." Da Lei nodded, looking at the porcelain doll and still thinking.
"Eye... Eyes..."Xiao Hai's voice became quieter, almost trembling and said: "Look at those eyes smiling, bent into strips... But... But I don't have eyeballs..."
"Huh", Da Lei's scalp was numb.
.... That's right! Eyeball!! This toy should not have painted eyeballs!!
There are only two thin white strips that bend!!
No wonder it looks so weird!!
"Hee-he
"Who?!" The two of them looked back at the dark corridor behind them, and finally found that the voice was not there.
"Hee-hee-.....hee-
Xiao Hai was trembling all over.
Da Lei turned his head and looked at the porcelain doll.
The voice came from her.
