Chapter 68: Dead Whispers in the Night

It wasn't until we groped our way into a hole in the dark, and blocked the hole, that the lantern was lit again, and the first time the light came on, I looked at the person who had just called himself Lu Hao, who looked like he was forty or fifty years old, dressed in shabby clothes, thin as wood, with high raised cheekbones, and a pair of cloudy eyes.

"Do you know how I got here?" I said and looked around, the team of ghost hands, Lao Liu, and Zhang sisters, they were all there, looking at the familiar faces, I felt that there was something called loneliness in my heart that was slowly fading, and the horse lantern in my hand seemed to be much warmer.

I paused, turned my head to look at the person who called himself Lu Hao, and said:

"I have a few pounds and a few taels, and you all know in your hearts that the reason why I can come here is because there is a person who brought me all the way, it is a man in black with a bronze mask, oh, by the way, he seems to have asthma, always coughing, he said he is Lu Hao."

After saying this, my eyes stopped at Lu Hao in front of me. The people around me were taken aback when they heard what I said, and they looked at each other and whispered.

Lao Liu took out his cigarette pouch and lit it, twisted the cigarette stick and took a sharp breath, spit out a piece of smoke: "That person is not Lu Hao, this person is the original Lu team leader." ”

Since Lao Liu said so, that person must be a fake, after all, among the people here, Lao Liu and Lu Hao have the most contact and know Lu Hao the most, but in this way, who will be the person with the bronze mask? What is his purpose? Didn't Lu Hao come out of the rhinoceros ghost village a few years ago, so how could he appear here now? What has he experienced in the past ten years?

"You said the man kept coughing?" A bearded man asked.

"Uh-huh." I nodded, and everyone's faces changed all at once.

"What's wrong?"

I couldn't help but ask them, they were just about to answer me, but before they could say this, there was a clear coughing sound outside!

"There's something you say...... Is that the person with the bronze mask? I asked.

Everyone shook their heads: "I don't know, we don't see the source of the sound at all." ”

We all held our breath to find the source of the sound, but the coughing disappeared as if it had never existed in this world.

The dreary atmosphere lasted for several minutes, and there was not the slightest movement outside, and I broke the dead silence and asked them why they couldn't go out, what that thing was, and they shook their heads and were silent, and one of the guys, whose arm was wounded and covered with gauze, said that it was full of coffins, and that there were hanging coffins underneath the road from the Cockscomb Ridge. I glanced at his arm, and the pool of blood under the cockscomb ridge was probably this buddy's handiwork.

I feel a chill in my heart, and I dare to love me all the way to this place with a coffin! But the cough ...... Could it be that a person wearing a bronze mask is outside, he doesn't seem to have malicious intent, if he wants to harm me, he can solve me as early as the time when I came back from the tomb of King Dian and lay in the hospital, if it weren't for him, I might still have a fake Luban ruler in my hand.

The ghost hand's tone was still cold: "You, you shouldn't have come." ”

I scratched my head: "I want to know the answer to all this, or you tell me directly, I'll leave right away and go far." ”

As expected, Ghost Hand's answer was silence......

"Have we been working here all this time?" I tried to break the dull atmosphere.

"No, we're waiting, waiting for the right moment." Zhang Yier dragged his cheeks and answered me.

"When?" I asked again.

"At zero o'clock, the intersection of the first day and the second day, the aura is still undergoing some subtle changes at this moment, and at that time, the things outside can't react, so we can take advantage of the void." After Zhang Yue finished speaking, she stopped talking.

There was a sudden silence all around, except for the horse lamp beside me, a flame the size of a thumb burning calmly in the lampshade, not making a crackling sound.

…………

After a few hours, everyone distributed canned military beef, and the water filled the stomach, the Zhang family sent two people to take turns on duty, and the others squinted their eyes to rest, quietly waiting for midnight to come, I was so confused that I seemed to be asleep, but I was a little awake, and the whole person was in a state of half-dreaming and half-awake, which was very uncomfortable.

In a daze, I seemed to hear a person, repeating a sentence to me: "You shouldn't come, you shouldn't come, you shouldn't come......" Then, the voice gradually drifted away, and the flying white cloth seemed to appear in front of my eyes again, as well as the tall old locust tree, and the old house with a blood-red gate, and I vaguely heard someone keep shouting a person's name, that is...... Wu Huan......

I was awakened again, and the others had already woken up, and Lao Liu was walking towards me, apparently preparing to come and wake me up.

"Wake up, you guy, I dreamed that I married a wicked aunt, and my face turned white with fright." Lao Liu grinned and teased me.

I didn't bother to talk to him, so I asked him directly, "It's almost zero?" ”

"Uh-huh." Zhang Yue patted the dust on her pants, and then said: "There are still five minutes, I didn't expect you to wake up quite shocked, I still want to see Lao Liu pump you." ”

"We'll go out in a while, let's take stock of our things, don't lose anything." As Zhang Yier gave the order, the group all stood up, and after a commotion, they all gathered together, waiting for Zhang Yier to give the next instructions.

Zhang Yier looked at his watch, then at Lao Liu, Lao Liu looked at the compass in his hand, nodded, and finally, both of them moved their eyes to the ghost hand.

The ghost hand stood in front of the blocked hole, stretched out his right hand with six fingers, and rubbed it against the hole, after more than ten seconds, his closed eyes suddenly opened, his right hand slammed, and with a fierce force, the big stone blocking the hole slowly moved to the side, less than half a minute, the hole was completely opened, and a cold wind poured in, blowing our necks, and couldn't help but shiver.

"It's now, keep moving forward, don't look back." As he spoke, the ghost hand took the lead and walked to the huge space outside, followed by the others, and I was sandwiched in the middle of the group, with Lao Liu behind me.

"Hurry up, or we won't be able to get out of that thing when it wakes up!" Lao Liu shouted in the back, and the group quickened their pace again, and everyone ran forward in a row with glow sticks, surrounded by endless darkness, I don't know how big this space is, as for the top of the head, it is even deeper, I don't know what is on it.

Could the man with the bronze mask lurk on this? I couldn't help but look up, and at the same time as I looked up, a cough suddenly sounded in the darkness that had been silent for a long time!

It's the Bronze Masked Man! I don't know if it's the wrong tendon, I asked Lao Liu for a strong flashlight behind me, saying that there is someone on it!

Lao Liu didn't give me a flashlight with a gloomy face, but just stretched out his hand to his mouth and made a silent gesture, at this moment, the cough sounded above our heads again, and my inner premonition became stronger and stronger, and I reached out to grab the strong flashlight from Lao Liu's waist.

A bright pillar of light hit me upwards from my hand, adapting to the dark environment, the sudden bright light made people a little unable to open their eyes, and after a few seconds, we saw a big crack above us, I don't know how high it was, on both sides of the crack, densely packed with hanging coffins!

There were indeed people on it, but they were all dead people, where was the shadow of the bronze masked man, looking at those dense coffins, from near to far until they disappeared, my scalp exploded all of a sudden, only to feel a cold air rise from under the soles of my feet, straight to the backbone!

"Let's go! That thing is waking up! The ghost hand shouted, glared at me backwards, and with a flick of his hand, a stone flew out, knocking my flashlight down, and then another stone flew and hit the flashlight that had just landed, and the flashlight went out, only the corpse oil horse lamp in my hand still emitted a faint light.

I was stunned, and immediately understood that I was bad, and the ghost hand said at the beginning, I can't light the lamp, otherwise it will alarm that thing, I can't wait to pump my two big mouths, I don't have time to regret it, there is a faint whispering sound around, as if there are many people around, saying something we don't understand!

We quickened our pace and ran to the other end of the crack, the whispers getting louder and louder, and the noise grew louder and louder, until then, as if we were in a noisy city, but I knew that we were all around ...... There is no one else at all!

"That thing...... Wake up! Lao Liu muttered to himself in the back, I turned my head to look, only to see shadows in the darkness behind me, as if something was twisting and wriggling, and the whole ground also made a rustling sound of rubbing, which made the roots of my teeth sour!

"Quick! Hurry! The sisters of the Zhang family were also a little panicked, and said three quick words in a row, and in an instant, everyone's hearts tightened, and the feeling of thorns in the back and a catastrophe was imminent, which made me a little breathless.

I don't know what the black shadow behind me is, but I feel that it is incomparably huge, and it is definitely not something that a dozen of us can handle, and besides, that thing is getting closer and closer to us, and a fishy wind has quietly spread!

I peeked behind me, and suddenly I understood what was behind us, and why Lao Liu was so panicked, the thing that woke up behind us was nothing else, it was a big snake, the super snake that was detected when it was detecting gold mines before, and the head was the size of a truck!

We had no choice, and the others suddenly understood the consequences of coming and stopping, and they only hated their parents for having two legs less, and ran forward as if they were dead, but fortunately, the cracks have a tendency to gradually close, and the further we go, the narrower the cracks become, which means that as long as we run forward, the big snake behind us will not pose a threat to us.

After running for a few hundred meters, the stone walls around me are getting narrower and narrower, and the big snake behind us no longer knows where it is stuck, and there is no black shadow behind us, but the voices of many people talking and talking are getting louder and louder, like a muffled thunder, buzzing in people's heads!

If you close your eyes, you will definitely give the illusion of being in a nightclub, but when you open your eyes, there is nothing else, or ......, except for a dozen or so of us It's already crowded around us...... The Invisible Man!

After running forward for a few more minutes, the crack had shrunk to about two meters, which seemed very depressing, just when the noisy sound made people's heads rise, the ghost hand in front suddenly stopped, and by the faint light, I faintly saw that not far ahead, in the narrow crack, there was a figure kneeling!
