Chapter 42: Behind the Wooden Door

Ghost Hand silently ran out of the darkness behind him, pulled out the serpentine seal knife nailed to the wall, and sank into the sleeve of his shirt with his hand, and by the faint green light of the soul-attracting lamp, I saw several tears on his clothes, and a few of them had a few patches of red leaching.

"How are you?" I asked.

"I can only be trapped for a while, let's go." He waved his hand to signal that it was okay, and walked straight forward.

When I returned to Lao Liu, Lao Liu found out that I was wrong, and it turned out that no one found out that I was behind the team.

Lao Liu asked what happened just now, I said it briefly, Lao Liu frowned, and continued to take us deep into the city of vain, and while turning around, I asked the ghost hand: "How is it?" ”

"Trapped, not for long" The ghost hand replied simply and clearly, and the words were like gold.

As soon as the ghost hand finished speaking, a strange sound suddenly sounded in front of me, and it was so strange that I couldn't fully describe it, like a rhinoceros howling.

Immediately afterwards, the surroundings suddenly brightened, and all the lights in the empty houses were lit up, and the whole space suddenly changed from invisible to a piece of light, and even the buildings swept away the dilapidated of the past and returned to the original!

The dream-like voice sounded again, as if this ancient city, which had been buried in the ground for an unknown number of years, suddenly woke up from its deep sleep, and the originally lifeless city was suddenly injected with a thick vitality, the sound of cooking, the sound of tableware colliding, drinking tea and chatting...... Loud and loud!

It seems that time has gone back abruptly, and the city of the dead has suddenly regained its former prosperity, but everything did not let the string in our hearts relax, but tensed, because the surroundings were bright and the noisy voices could be heard clearly, but there was no figure in the huge city except us!

We have been down all the way, there are constantly casualties, and now in addition to Lao Liu and the three of us, there are only three guys left, two middle-aged men, a dark-skinned young man, five people, you look at me, in order to see you, there is obviously a trace of fear in the depths of his eyes that cannot be concealed.

"This ......" The dark-skinned young man was surnamed Weng, with a single name and a Liangzi, he looked at all this happening around him, wanted to say something, and seemed to not know how to say it, he was dumbfounded for a long time, and closed his mouth, but it was not difficult to see that his pupils were slightly tight.

"Young people, don't be so cowardly, people always have to die in their lives, what is the difference between dying early and dying late, for the sake of the village, for the wife and children of the family, even if you die, you will die without regrets, and you have to hold up your chest when you die." One of the middle-aged men reprimanded Weng Liang, but silently stepped forward and protected Weng Liang behind him.

"Uncle, I'...... I didn't coax it, it's just ...... It's just panicking! Weng Liang's face was a little hot.

I looked at the brightly lit city in front of me but there was no one in sight, and then looked at Lao Liu and the ghost hand, and gradually gained some confidence in my heart, took a deep breath, and followed everyone forward under the leadership of Lao Liu.

Many times, you think that there are some things that you can't bear, but in fact, when things really fall on your shoulders, you will find that you can actually carry them; There are many times when you can carry some things, but you just don't want to carry them, because you know that there is a saying that the sky falls and there is a tall man on top, but you never thought that you will also have the day when you become a tall man, and man is such a contradictory creature.

After the previous journey, we did not have long to reach the depths of the city of the dead in vain, where there was a wide square, and in the middle of the square was built an altar, and there were bursts of footsteps from the altar, as if there were many invisible people holding some kind of ritual around the altar, and obscure incantations floated over the altar, and I seemed to see a man wearing shackles on the altar.

Before, the ghost hand kept us rushing to the depths of the city of vain death, and he didn't say anything, but now we have come to the center of the city of vain death, but his face suddenly became solemn.

"What's wrong?" I asked.

Not only me, but Weng Liang and the other two middle-aged people all set their sights on the ghost hand. I immediately regretted my reckless questioning, which was tantamount to pushing the ghost hand to the forefront, and the situation in front of me was already very serious, and the disharmony of the people at this time was a devastating blow.

The ghost hand didn't look at us, his gaze went directly over us to the altar in the center of the square, looked at the brightly lit rooms around him, frowned, and raised his feet and walked towards the nearest room. We didn't know what the ghost hand was trying to do, and our minds were all around along the way, and no one paid attention to the situation inside the house, right...... Is there something unspeakable in the house?

Thinking of this, we all walked along......

Looking at the closed wooden door in front of him, a few rays of light were desperately squeezed out of the crack of the door, like a bait specially designed to attract prey, and it seemed to indicate another world hidden behind this door!

The ghost hand stretched out his left hand and groped for a while on the door, and after a few seconds of effort, he sandwiched out a cold and shining silk thread from the inside of the door. While I was scolding myself for being careless, my feet trembled slightly, and before we could react, I felt that my feet were empty, and the whole person quickly fell down!

At the critical moment, the ghost hand inserted the snake seal knife into the edge of the pit, reached out and grabbed me, I reflexively grabbed down, only to feel a sinking in my hand, I felt a huge force coming, my arm was about to be torn off, the ghost hand body shook suddenly, almost taken down by me!

"Put them down!" Ghost Hand said through gritted teeth.

The three Weng Liang below didn't say anything, but I clearly felt their hands tremble violently.

The ghost hand saved me, but I almost affected him just now, and according to our current situation, throwing down the three people below is undoubtedly the most appropriate way to protect themselves, it is reasonable, I should listen to the ghost hand, because as long as he lets go, the three of us will fall, stabbed to death by the sword, with the skill of the ghost hand, he can definitely get out of the whole body alone, but I can't say anything, they are two lives alive! They, it's because of us that they've come to this place with their heads in their hands!

"The four of you are too heavy to be supported by the slugger alone!" The ghost hand almost squeezed out the words between his teeth, I know, he is about to lose it, and I am about to lose it! There was a tearing pain in my shoulder, and my instinct told me that within half a minute, my arm would be detached from my body! I'm not a ghost hand after all, and it's beyond my limit to bear the weight of three grown men in this state of not going up and down, but also in the air!

"If you don't throw them down, I'll throw you!" Ghost Hand's voice was cold, without the slightest emotion.

"If you want to throw it, you will throw it with me, I am a human being, are they not human beings? I am a human life, is their life not a human life? I have nothing to say if they are in other danger and die, but I can't do it if I abandon them to save myself! ”

"Brother Xiao Wu, it is already rare that you can do this step, he is right, we can't implicate you, remember, we must take out that thing from the Cursed Land, so, only in this way, everything we do is meaningful!"

Weng Liang smiled bitterly, looked at me deeply, let go of my hand, I saw that his eyes were full of reluctance and expectation, that kind of look, made my heart tremble!

I hurriedly increased the strength of my hand, grabbed his hand tightly, my heart was very complicated, my mind instantly thought of dozens of possibilities, and finally sighed secretly, in order not to affect the ghost hand, I was ready to let go. But at this moment, I found that my body was rising a little bit, and it turned out that Lao Liu was helping the ghost hand pull us up. Fortunately, Lao Liu was behind and was not affected by the trap.

When we all came up, one by one they sat on the ground like a deflated ball, gasping for breath, Weng Liang and the other two middle-aged men didn't say anything, just looked at me with a heartfelt gratitude. Lao Liu looked at me, looked at Weng Liang and the three of them, wanted to say something, opened his mouth, but said nothing.

"If you do this, sooner or later you will kill yourself."

Ghost Hand suddenly turned his head to look at me and said word by word. Immediately, he stood up and walked around the trap to the chain door just now.

"If I have to kill you to live, I'd rather kill myself first!" I shouted at him.

The footsteps of the ghost hand suddenly paused, and in an instant they returned to normal, and when they came to the wooden door, they reached out and were about to push the wooden door open.

"Wait!" I shouted, pulled out the Lu Ban ruler, walked over in three steps and two steps, according to common sense, if the chain mechanism is triggered, there will be no other mechanism, just in case, I still have to give it a try, I don't want any more accidents in the audience, we have already killed too many people.

After some probing and confirming that there was no mechanism, I reached out and stuck to the wooden door, and was about to push the door open, but the ghost hand took the first step and pressed on the wooden door! The wooden door creaked and was pushed open with great reluctance, and we all froze at the sight of what was going on inside the room!!
