Our first instinct was not to rush over, but to stop, because it was so difficult to walk that if we took a quick step and ran, we would soon fall to the ground.

And at this moment it is already very dark, although it is only a distance of more than ten meters, we can no longer see the figures of the two Japanese clearly.

I just heard Yu Kishida screaming desperately, while Shinichi Hashimoto was shouting "help" in Japanese.

All three of us pulled out flashlights and projected light at the two Japanese.

Anyone who has had a similar experience knows that the light of a flashlight can appear especially bright in the dark.

But if it's not dark yet, and you can still see your surroundings, the light from the flashlight will look dim.

That's the case now.

The light of the three flashlights did not appear very clear.

Coupled with the fat back of Kishida Xiong blocking our view, we can't see the figure of Shinichi Hashimoto, we can only see a pair of hands emerging from both sides of Kishida's body, with the scream of "help, help", those hands are waving desperately, and they seem to gradually fall from high to low.

Kishida seemed to be stunned at first, but he just stood upright and screamed.

It wasn't until the hands fell close to the ground that Kishida suddenly came to his senses, and while calling "Hashimoto-kun", he bent down and reached out, grabbed the hands and tried to push them up.

In fact, we don't see the situation where Kishida grabbed Shinichi Hashimoto's hands at all, we just saw Kishida bending over and trying his best to straighten his body.

I took the lead and passed Lee Jun-hyuk in front of me, trying to keep my feet on top of my feet and avoid falling on the messy ground while running towards Kishida with all my might.

But as a result, I had to pay most of my attention to my feet, and I could only glance at the back of Yu Kishida in front of me from time to time.

I saw that Yu Kishida, who was bending over and trying to straighten his body, not only failed to straighten his waist, but instead bent his waist lower and lower, as if something was grabbing his hand and pulling him down, and finally had to get down on both knees.

It was at that time that I rushed to Kishida's side.

I saw Kishida still screaming on his knees, and in my ears, Shinichi Hashimoto's voice was still making a miserable cry for help.

"Help! Help me! Kishida-kun, help me! ”

However, to my great surprise and even horror, I could only hear Shinichi Hashimoto's cries for help, but I could not see the slightest shadow of Shinichi Hashimoto.

And the sound faded away, as if Shin Hashimoto had stepped into the air one by one and fell swiftly into a bottomless abyss.

Gao Lingkai and Li Junhe rushed over after me, and the difference between before and after was only ten seconds, but Hashimoto Shinichi's cry for help was already inaudible.

"What's going on, what's going on?" Gao Lingkai asked again and again.

I couldn't answer, just stared at my feet in a daze.

Except for Kishida Yu, who was kneeling at my feet, of course, there was no bottomless abyss, it was just a pothole that was not too deep.

"Hashimoto-kun, where are you? Where are you? You come out, you come out! ”

Howling and crying, Kishida scratched and scratched the ground with both hands.

And I couldn't help but be covered in hair, as if the cry for help of Shinichi Hashimoto's rapid fading still echoed in my ears.

"What the hell is going on?" Lee Jun-hyuk approached me and asked, "I heard the Japanese crying for help just now, but ...... What about that person? ”

How could I have known where the man had gone, and my own mind was in a state of confusion and horror.

So I smiled wryly and shook my head, plucking up the courage to look around with my flashlight.

Li Junhe didn't say a word, and he also used a flashlight to look around.

At this time, the sky was much darker, and the light of the flashlight seemed brighter.

I realized that the shadow we had seen before that seemed to move was nothing more than a beam with one end up.

The underside of the beams had been dug up by previous rescuers, creating a large depression filled with messy mud and bricks and thatch.

In other words, there is no living thing here.

The slight movement we saw, if we weren't all dazzled by it, was that some little beast or something had quietly run away without a trace before we ran over.

As far as my flashlight could see, I didn't find anything moving.

Could it be that the little beast that brought us here, like Shinichi Hashimoto, disappeared inexplicably before we arrived here?

But why did they disappear, could it be that the door of time and space made up by the family was real, and near this depression, there was a door to the time and space built by Huo Kong in other times?

I don't have an answer.

There are many strange and dangerous things I have experienced, but this is the first time I have encountered something as weird and terrifying as today.

I crouched down and soothed Kishida's back as he had been kneeling on the ground.

Xiong Kishida, who was crying and scratching on the ground, suddenly twisted his waist and turned around as I reached out and patted like this.

I only saw a flash of light, and subconsciously immediately leaned over to dodge.

A shiny steel knife grazed my body and chopped it on the ground.

I hurriedly took another step back.

As my heel tripped over something, if it hadn't been for Lee Jun-hyuk grabbing my arm, I would have fallen to the ground on my back.

At the same time, Gao Lingkai pulled out the electric shock rod on his waist and blocked it in front of me.

"Do you know what to do with this Japanese devil?" Gao Lingkai roared angrily.

I nodded to Lee Jun-hyuk in thanks, and reached out to grab Ko Lingkai's shoulder to prevent him from swinging his stick at Kishida.

After that, I stood firm and shouted at Kishida in English, "Calm down, we want to help you!" ”

Kishida's face was full of tears, but his small eyes looked at the three of us with wariness.

To be honest, I was very disgusted with this Japanese man, but at such a time, I could not show my disgust, but tried to be as friendly as possible and asked him, "Tell me, what happened to Shinichi Hashimoto?" I just saw you seem to be pulling him hard, what the hell is going on? ”

Kishida took a breath, horror crossed his face, and grasped his katana in one hand, trembling with the other, pointing to the hollow ground beneath the upturned beam.

"He, he, he...... Hashimoto-kun, right here...... Sink in! ”

Although I had already guessed, I couldn't help but gasp.

Li Junhe even blurted out: "This, this, this...... How can it be? ”

Normally, it's unlikely.

Because if a person falls into the ground, the ground will definitely be very soft, and in the place where it falls, a spiral will inevitably form.

But what we could see, beneath the upturned beams, was a mess of excavated dirt, mixed with bricks, wood chips, and thatch.

I didn't have the courage to stand in that place to test the hardness, and I was afraid that I would be like Hashimoto Shinichi, crying for help and disappearing from the eyes of Gao Lingkai and others.

I could only look around, pull a long stick of wood from the dirt next to me, and stab it hard at the place.

When the wooden strip is poked into the soil for about two or three inches, it reaches the very hard layer of soil below.

Because I used too much force, the wooden strip snapped and broke from it.

I was even more horrified in my heart, and when I looked at Gao Lingkai, his eyes were also full of horror.

But Li Junhe should not have experienced anything strange, and suddenly said: "I don't believe in evil!" ”

Before I could reach out, he had already jumped over in one step, not only landing on the hollow I had just stabbed with the stick, but also stomping his foot several times.

"It's hard down here, how could someone fall from here?" He said, looking at Kishida with both eyes.

He used English, which Kishida was naturally able to understand.

But Kishida Yuxu hated Lee Jun-hyuk for not believing in himself, and his small eyes were immediately full of hostility.

I always felt hairy in my heart, so I hurriedly reached out and pulled Lee Junhyuk up from the hollow first, and then asked Kishida Xiong: "How did you see Shinichi Hashimoto fall in?" ”

"You don't believe me, what more do you need to ask?" Kishida replied, naturally, in English.

"We didn't disbelieve you!" I'll be honest, "After all, we saw with our own eyes that you were trying so hard to pull Shinichi Hashimoto up!" It's just that your figure is blocking our view, so we can't see what happened! ”

Kishida Xiong relieved himself at this time, his fat face showed a look of horror again, he pointed to the depression with a trembling hand, and said in a trembling voice: "I see...... Hashimoto-kun, the whole body suddenly fell downward, and his feet ...... There seems to be an invisible piece of quicksand, first ...... His feet vanished, and then he ...... It's his legs, and it's ...... His body! ”

He couldn't help but whimper again, trembling even harder.

"You mean, you watched his body fade from the bottom up, rather than sinking into the dirt?" I asked.

"Yes!" Takeshi Kishida nodded, "But he's a lot like ...... Stuck in the dirt, his body slowly went down, no matter how I dragged it, I couldn't pull it up! ”

When Kishida said that, he couldn't help but shake his hand, and the katana that had been clenched in his hand fell to the ground.

Nervously, Kishida immediately reached out and grabbed the hilt of the sword, and just knelt on the ground, his hands gripping the hilt of the katana, trembling as he gurgled from his throat.

"You're saying that your companion didn't sink into the dirt, but slowly disappeared from the bottom up in front of your eyes?" Lee Jun Hyuk asked.

But his question was not much different from what I asked before, so Kishida didn't answer, just sat on the ground and trembled.

Li Junhe couldn't help muttering to himself: "This, this, this...... How is that possible? Is there a ...... in the world? There are ghosts and gods! ”
