41. Searching for someone alone

The more he waited, the more panicked he became, and the more he felt that something was wrong, no matter what the situation was, even if he really encountered danger, Sheng Shiyao would make a warning inside. I stared at the darkness as if it were a bottomless hole.

Meditate in my heart, if the silent count reaches ten, and he hasn't come out yet, I'll go in. I read it number by number, and during this time my heart rose to my throat, but when I counted to ten, I was determined. Sheng Shiyao didn't come out, no matter what happened inside, I would not hesitate to walk in, and I had never been more determined than at this moment.

Walking to the stone gate, his eyes couldn't help but focus on the word "death", took a deep breath, and raised the corners of his lips slightly. Thinking with a wry smile, do I know that the road ahead is death, and I still go headlong without hesitation? Shaking my head, the next second I lifted my feet and stepped into the darkness. In fact, when I stood in front, I already felt the cold coming to my face, but when I entered it, I realized that the cold was pierced into my bones, because this stone room was full of ice walls on all three sides except for the wall connected to it, which is equivalent to saying that this is an igloo.

The stone chamber was empty, except for a stone couch in the middle, which should be the last place for the wizard to lie down. The temperature difference between indoor and outdoor is opposite, and the air flow inside is surrounded, and the fog is rising, and it is almost impossible to see. But the room is so big, it's just two steps away, it shouldn't be that there is no trace of Sheng Shiyao, he is not in this room!

This really shocked me, I thought about many possibilities before I came in, even the worst possibility was imagined, but the big deal was that he was injured and unconscious, so I paid special attention to my feet, but I didn't think that he would not be in this house.

The house is so big, he can't disappear in vain, he must have touched some mechanism, he may be trapped in it and can't get out, waiting for me to save him. That's why he often warned me not to be impetuous, because I needed to be calm. First of all, I went to see the stone couch, because it was the only furnishing in the whole room, and it was not placed against the wall, but it was very abrupt to put it straight in the middle.

But I searched the whole stone couch and found nothing unusual, it was a real stone bed. Very discouraged, that Ying Ning's mind is really hard to guess, by the way, Ying Ning! I'm really confused, Sheng Shiyao entered the door of death to explore the mystery of the ice wall where Ying Ning's body was hidden, how could he forget about it after coming in.

Hurriedly got up and ran to the ice wall, this look was a big surprise, Ying Ning, who was originally in the ice wall, was gone, and as we expected, there was a gap under the ice wall that was opened, and it was dark inside, like a cave, and if you want to enter, you must bend down and climb in. Obviously, Sheng Shiyao entered it, but what I don't understand is, what about Ying Ning? Did he bring it in?

Either way, you won't know until you go in and see it. I looked at the gun I had been holding in my hand, it was hard to climb with it, should I put it outside first? But the cave is so dark, there is probably an unknown danger inside, if you don't have a gun, you don't know the bottom of your heart. Shadow Moon can only be used for emergencies, and when it comes to a really critical moment, it is still more useful to have a gun.

In the end, I chose to climb in with my gun and burrow in, and immediately the cold air invaded my skin, and I shivered with cold. The temperature in this ice room must be at least minus ten degrees, and I only wore a jacket, I really couldn't withstand the cold, I sneezed a few times in succession, and finally climbed into some distance, and the temperature was not so cold.

The cave was inclined downward, and after nearly ten minutes of climbing, it began to become wide and tall, and I tried to stand up, walking with my waist inside, which was faster than I could climb. After another seven or eight minutes of walking, the cave was wide enough to walk upright, and soon I was in a fairly large space. The surroundings are quiet and only hear their own breathing, mainly because it is pitch black in front of them, and the glasses of the night vision device don't know why, but they are completely ineffective here, and the visual distance has become less than one meter, which is equivalent to zero.

It may be that it has been worn for a long time and the instrument is broken. Since the night vision device didn't work, and wearing it on my eyes would obstruct my vision, I took it off and stuffed it into my pocket. Although I still can't see, my eyes are much more comfortable, and with the intuitive sense of spatial distance, this place is very empty, and there is an echo when I cough lightly.

I wonder why I didn't take a flashlight and put it on my body when I came, and I was really worried about not having lighting tools at a critical time. Suddenly I thought that when Zhou Tong stuffed the gun to me before I went out, he was afraid that I would not be able to use it like in the desert, so he demonstrated how to pull the safety bolt and how to pull the wrench, and told me to remember to take the insurance after shooting, otherwise it would be easy to misfire and hurt my own people. Among them, he specifically mentioned that the safety bolt was opened, and there was a special device on the sight, which automatically shot light in the dark to facilitate aiming. I tried to touch the gun in the dark, carefully pulled the safety open, and sure enough, a "snap" of light shot out from above the barrel.

Although in the dark and empty space, only such a small beam of light will not help at all, but something is better than nothing, and don't underestimate the spotlight of this sight, its range is very long. I held the handle of my gun in my hand, and little by little, I illuminated the whole space, and as I thought, it was a surprisingly large place, and the walls could not be seen from the range of the light.

I don't know why, but the light seems to be blocked by a black object, and it doesn't reach the top. I wanted to raise my voice to call Sheng Shiyao's name, if he was here, he would definitely answer me, and also prevent him from attacking me as a dangerous creature in the dark. But when I opened my mouth, I found that I had lost my voice inexplicably, and I tried several times without success, and I was so anxious that I couldn't do it, but the more anxious I was, the more I couldn't speak.

Suddenly, a chill came from his waist, and his troubled heart quickly calmed down, realizing that it was not his own problem, but that there was an inexplicable power in this space that suppressed people's pronunciation. I patted my waist, there was a shadow moon there, it was just reminding me to calm down, its spirituality and magic, I don't feel strange anymore.

Gather your mind, take more than ten steps forward, hold the gun and continue to search with the spotlight, and keep analyzing in your mind. I've been here for a while, and the movement is not small, with Sheng Shiyao's keenness, I can definitely detect it, and at this moment, he didn't appear or even make a sound, which means that there are two possibilities: one is that he is not here, and the other is that he can't appear and make a sound. In the first case, I would have to find his traces, and in the second case, I would have to look for him, probably because he was injured or unconscious.

Although I don't think that with Sheng Shiyao's ability, he will be injured to the point of coma in such a short time, but this place is too weird, there is an inexplicable magical power, and Ying Ning and the wizard know that kind of ancient secret arts, and they will also set up a mechanism skillfully, so it is difficult to ensure that they will not fall into the trap here. When the red spotlight flashed somewhere, I was stunned, thinking that I was dazzled, and turned the light back, it was pitch black, I was indeed dazzled, and I just thought I saw Sheng Shiyao lying there.

Just as I was about to shift the spotlight to find another place, I suddenly saw Sheng Shiyao's figure in front of me again, and this time I could see it very clearly, not only him, but also Ying Ning's body lying next to him, and the two were lying side by side. But after only two or three seconds, it became dark again, and nothing could be seen. What's going on? Is there a problem with my eyes? Or is it that the space is causing me to lose my voice and then hallucinate again?

Visually the distance just now was twenty or thirty meters away, they were lying on a stone platform, and to distinguish whether it was real or false, they only had to walk over. Just as I was about to start, suddenly Sheng Shiyao's figure appeared in front of me again, and then after a few seconds, I couldn't see it again, I stood still, watched for ten minutes, and found that the process was repeated.

It felt like a magic trick, and the magician had a piece of cloth in his hand, sometimes covering it and sometimes raising it. But where are the magicians here? Even if there were, the black cloth that blocked Sheng Shiyao was too big. What if it's not my eye problem or a hallucination? When it turned black again, I picked up my gun and shot it up a little bit, and when it reached a certain height, I froze, and there seemed to be two blood-red glowing balls floating in the air, sometimes dark and sometimes bright, because it was buried deep in the darkness, so if I didn't use the light, I wouldn't have noticed it at all.

I stared at the two glowing balls for a while, and felt a rare and familiar feeling, but my mind was so confused that I couldn't remember where I had seen them. Could it be that those two balls are manipulating all this? What happens if I shoot those two balls? Past experience has taught me that it's best not to act rashly until you find out.

I still decided to go forward and first determine whether Sheng Shiyao was lying there was an illusion. When I approached step by step, the yin wind came from time to time, and it appeared every time the figures of Sheng Shiyao and Ying Ning were revealed, and it was calm when the black curtain was covered, which was really strange. At this time, a strange smell penetrated into my nose, I was wearing a gas mask, it is difficult for the gas to penetrate again, obviously this smell is very strong, and I am not wearing a gas mask after all, I cannot completely filter.

Afraid of the poisonous smell, I held my breath, and I was only a dozen steps away from Sheng Shiyao's location. I was about to speed up my steps and rush forward to take a look, when suddenly something flew in front of me, so close that I could feel the touch of my cheeks and the thing, as if it were ...... The hairy one, just in the two seconds when I could see Sheng Shiyao, I fixed my eyes without blinking, and clearly felt the wind above my head, something was going down, and then the touch crossed my face again, covering my vision.

A flash of lightning slashed into my head, and I moved the spotlight upwards again in horror, shooting at the two red balls and froze. I finally remembered why I felt familiar with the vain red ball, and the scene was so familiar that it sent chills down my body.

Dream Alert! I had dreamed of this scene long before I came to Jinsha Ancient Town, and all my dreams did not happen for no reason, but meant what was about to happen and what happened in the future. It's just that the time has passed too long, and the dream at that time is too terrifying, and I never expected it to be real, so when I was there, I didn't remember it at all.

Staring at the faintly glowing red dot above my head, I finally knew that it wasn't a vain red ball, but a ......
