Section 18 Horror

Lily is a Dane, born Karin Blicken, whose neighbors, friends, colleagues, relatives, and all the words in his life that can be used to describe the relationship between two people, the white man Zhang Lan saw on the hillside, the dead man, his name is Anos Fogg.

That day, Karin and Annos walked into an office building in Copenhagen, where their company was located, and squeezed into the elevator with nine other people, and the world was never the same.

After the elevator door closed, everything became weird, at first they could still hear the sound of the elevator running, but after a while the sound disappeared, and the people in the elevator also noticed the abnormality, because the elevator had been running for five minutes but there was no intention of stopping, no matter how the people in the elevator clicked the button, knocked on the elevator door and called the emergency number, all of this did not respond. The elevator seemed to be still running as usual, not even the lights on the top of the elevator flickered. After nearly half an hour, panic spread among the people, and the men except Annos went to pry the elevator door, while Annos stayed by Karin's side as usual, telling unfunny jokes to comfort her.

"That fool didn't know that I wasn't scared at all" Speaking of this, the tears in Lily's eyes couldn't stop flowing, Zhang Lan sighed and was silent, Li Junshan spoke Danish and comforted her softly (Zhang Lan later learned that it was Danish, but all other languages except Chinese sounded the same to him), only Davis, the big black man, didn't know what was going on, and asked "WHAT, WHAT....." Because the other three people except him all spoke Chinese.

Lily calmed down and continued to recount their experiences. Unexpectedly, after another five minutes of prying and knocking, the elevator door opened with a "bang". People rushed out of the elevator, but the people who walked out were stunned by the surroundings, which were not the office buildings that people knew, or even the environment that any of them knew.

People are surrounded by trees and plants that they have never seen before, and there is no sun in the sky, but the sun shines brightly on everything here. The elevator they were riding in was standing in a clearing between these trees and plants, the disconnected elevator cable hung on the roof of the car and the unknown plants in the open space, and on both sides of the elevator car were erected two concrete walls of the elevator shaft of the office building, which was both bizarre and fantastical, making everyone think that they were in a dream until they were awakened by a woman's scream.

The woman pointed to something behind the concrete wall on one side, and was speechless in horror, and everyone went around behind the concrete wall on the other side, and when they saw it, they all looked terrified, and almost retched. It turned out that there was a person lying next to the wall on this side, more precisely, it should be half a person, it was a middle-aged man, his hair was neatly combed, and he was still wearing an expensive suit, but the torso under her abdomen was now gone, the body tissue of the abdomen and his clothes were cut smoothly, the incision was so natural and smooth, as if the clothes were originally half cut like that, and the skin, bones and internal organs leaking under the clothes were also naturally smooth, without a trace of tearing, let alone blood. This body seems to have been born with a half-cut body, but his internal organs violate the laws of natural harmony and are simply poured on the grass, like a plate of salad falling on the ground. And there was also a person in the crowd who recognized the half of the person, saying that he was also the manager of a company on the third floor of their office building, and that he had greeted him when he got off work, and so on.

There was a dead person, and the already anxious and frightened emotions exploded in the crowd. Some people shouted to get out of here, others advocated finding out the situation before making plans, and others were making futile phone calls for nearly an hour. In the end, those who wanted to leave the place and those who advocated staying here first parted unhappily, and the people who were going to leave angrily walked into the forest with their three companions, and the two of the remaining people also said that they would go to the surrounding area to reconnoitre, and said hello to the others and left.

Eleven people left, 5 people remained, and 6 people remained. Except for Karin and Anos, the other four of the six were all familiar with each other, and it was natural for them to get together to discuss the current situation. The two of them seemed a little calm, and a little out of place with the other four.

"What do we do now?" Anos asked Karin softly, Karin looked around and thought for a moment and said, "I don't know what happened to us, and we are not familiar with this place, so let's not run around yet." Then she looked at the middle-aged man who still had half of his body left, and said, "Let's bury him first, this place looks like a jungle, and if he is in the jungle, he can easily attract wild beasts." Karin said calmly. After hearing this, Anos didn't say anything and looked around for tools to dig the earth, and finally he found two broken metal plates at the top of the elevator, and found a place where the soil was soft and dug up, Karin walked up to him and took a metal plate and began to dig, and the other four saw them digging and asked them what they were going to do.

Anos pointed to the middle-aged man and said, "We're going to bury that old man first." Three of the four looked at the corpse and didn't say anything more, but a thin girl said "oh", and also looked around for tools to help, she walked to the elevator car first, kicked the door panel, and then went to dismantle, but was stopped by the three. The girl reluctantly walked to the elevator room again, pointed to the billboard on the car, and saw that the three of them did not speak this time before they started to remove the transparent plastic sheet. She joins Anos in their excavation with plastic plates. The three of them quickly dug a one-man pit.

The grave was dug up, and the three of them jumped out of the pit as they walked towards the half of the corpse, and Anos motioned for the girl to block the lower half of the corpse with a plastic plate to prevent the rest of the internal organs from slipping out. The girl had just fussed with her internal organs with a plastic sheet, but finally she did not overcome the psychological and visual stimulation, and ran away retching. Karin glanced at Anos, who winked at her helplessly, no way their metal plate was too small. Karin walked over to the retching girl again, took her plastic plate and back to block it underneath the corpse, signaling to Annos that it was okay. So Anos lifted the corpse, and Karin blocked the abdomen of the corpse, and they cooperated to move the corpse into the dirt pit, which saved a lot of trouble because the corpse had no blood or other bodily fluids.

The body was in place, and the two of them were about to cover the earth, but the girl next to them ran over and told them to wait. Karin looked at her quizzically.

"I want to pray for him, may his soul go to heaven," the girl said crisply to Karin.

Lily didn't say anything and made a casual gesture. Then, with the girl's clear and peaceful prayer voice, the other three people also walked to the pit one after another to recite the prayer silently, and after a long time, everyone sang and shouted together, "Amen", and drew a cross on their chests. The girl looked at her suspiciously, while the other three looked at her with anger in her eyes, as if Karin was blaspheming God, and Karin stood calmly ignoring their gazes, or Annos explained, "She is not a believer", which made the people's eyes focus on her look away.

This time, as if inspired by God, the three men found tools to participate in the burial work. Everyone buried the soil together, and soon a grave was erected. The girl picked up the bow tie that had fallen to the ground when she had just moved the corpse, and placed it on the grave to comfort the spirit of the middle-aged man in the sky.

After burying the middle-aged man, everyone was at a loss again. "What now?" This strange place, how it looks like the earth, it has been nearly half a day since the elevator came out, and there is no sign of anyone coming to rescue them, and everyone is extremely frightened.

"Karin, are you scared?" Anos wiped the dirt from his hands with his clothes.

"What's the use of being afraid, let's think about the current countermeasures first, at least we have to find something to eat first." Lily said.

"Hah。。。。。 I remember, I still have a hamburger, I brought it to you in the morning, you haven't yet... Anos patted his head and said happily, but before the words could be spoken, he had already covered his mouth by Lily.

"Stupid, don't say it," Lily said with a fierce glare at him. Anos looked at him suspiciously, not knowing why. Lily glanced around with her eyes, and Annos nodded in understanding.

But his words were still heard by the girl closest to them, and the girl quickly walked up to them and looked at Anos expectantly and whispered, "Can that burger give me a little, I didn't eat in the morning and I'm so hungry, I won't say it." Annos glanced at Lily helplessly, only to see Lily nodding helplessly. He had to quietly put his hand into his pocket and tore a fist-sized piece to give to the girl. The girl also quietly stuffed it into her pocket, whispered a thank you and walked away.

Anos quickly stuffed the rest of the burger into Lily's pocket and said, "Find a place to eat!" ”

"What about you?" Karin asked, looking at Anos. Annos laughed, "I've eaten, I'm full." "When did you eat?" said Lily angrily, and Annos just smirked and didn't speak.

"Let's go over there," said Lily, pointing to the bushes on the side of the clearing, and led the way, Annos following her.

One of the four people who gathered together, and the one who advocated staying here, saw them moving and asked, "Why are you going?" ”

"Let's go over there and take a look, don't go far," Lily said calmly.

"Go and come back quickly, let's think about countermeasures together." The man thought they wanted convenience, and didn't say much.

Walking into the bushes, Lily looked for a tree that was easy to climb and shouted to Anos, "Come and help!" ”

"What are you doing, aren't you eating burgers?" asked Annos as he walked over and bent down to make a human ladder.

"Eat on the trees, good scenery!" Lily said as she struggled to climb the branch of Anos's tall body.

"Great idea!" Anos said as he made a human escalator.

After Lily climbed the tree, she held the branch and pulled Annos up the tree. The big tree that Lily chose was like a banyan tree and a ginkgo tree, but if you looked closely, it didn't look like either, the crown was huge, and the branches were numerous and dense and abnormal, Lily and Anos supported each other and pulled and climbed up, and finally in a place close to the treetops, they showed their heads, and it was this space that the two of them could already look down on the entire forest.

The two of them looked into the distance, and saw that at the end of the forest were the sprawling mountains, and on the other side was the sea. There is no sun in the sky, but the dazzling sunlight between the blue sky and white clouds is no different from that on Earth. The only difference is that above the blue sky and white clouds, many silky galaxies are also clearly visible during the day, slowly swaying between the white clouds and blue sky, like a dream.

"It's beautiful," Anos exclaimed, looking up at the sky.

"Yes, I don't know if we're still on Earth," Lily also said while looking around, and suddenly she shouted in horror: "Go down, hurry... "While tugging at Nanos. Anos was still immersed in this fantastic beauty, and was suddenly pulled by her, and almost fell off the branch. But Lily didn't care about this, and pulled him down with the branch, while Annos was still in his monastic. A loud birdsong and a tremor in the air brought him to his senses. I saw a huge dark gray body flapping two bat-like wings between the foliage of the canopy, hovering above their heads.

Lily pulled Anos to stand firm on a branch in the canopy, "It's a pterodactyl," Lily said in horror.

Anos opened his mouth wide to look at the behemoth that was still trying to land on the canopy, and asked in horror: "Aren't pterosaurs animals from the age of dinosaurs, how did we meet them?"
