Chapter 248: Sleep Spreads
In the room, several people were so fascinated by the statue of the naked woman that when they exited, no one noticed any change in the statue.
And now that day is dark, if the statue is really like the "eyeless relief", it will become eyeless at night, and if you re-enter it now, you will be able to see it clearly.
But I, looking at the wooden door that closed naturally, I couldn't muster up the courage to reach out and push it.
So I finally put that thought behind and walked back along the road paved with black stones.
The walkie-talkie sounded again, and Meng Xiang's anxious voice came from inside: "Gao Li, where are you now?" Why don't you reply to me? ”
"We'll be right back!" I hurriedly replied to the walkie-talkie.
A group of people turned around the bend of the mountain and saw the black dog still curled up in the middle of the path.
I was afraid that in the middle of the night some wild beast would come down and bite the black dog, so I mustered up the courage to pick it up.
Fortunately, nothing happened along the way, and we returned to Village Chief's house safely.
I put the black dog under the eaves, and Meng Xiang came out, and went to check on the black dog in surprise, and then asked why we had been so long and if there was anything to discover.
I saw that Gao Lingkai and the three special police officers all showed uncomfortable expressions, in fact, I was also a little uncomfortable, I could only secretly rejoice in my heart that Meng Xiang didn't go with me, otherwise let her see my ugliness, I wouldn't be able to raise my head in front of her in my life.
"There was no big discovery, just in a strange room, there was a ...... A somewhat strange statue of a woman. ”
I tried to understate it as lightly as possible, but Meng Xiang still sensed that I was not enough.
"What the hell is this strange method?" She asked.
"You'll find out for yourself tomorrow!" All I can say is, "I feel...... The whole village is asleep, and it is likely to have something to do with this statue! ”
Meng Xianghu looked at me suspiciously, and did not continue to interrogate me in front of others.
When the five special police officers and two experts came, they brought some food and drink, so we didn't have to borrow the kitchen of Fang's house to light a fire to cook, and the nine of us ate some casually.
I saw the dejected appearance of the two experts, and I actually felt a little sympathy for them.
They are experts, and they pay the most attention to scientific theories and natural laws, but what they are experiencing in front of them is bound to completely overturn the theories and principles they have mastered.
I was a little afraid that the deceptive statue would have a hypnotic effect, and the whole village would not wake up, and it was probably the one who was responsible for it.
However, as time passed, none of the nine of us showed signs of drowsiness, which made my hanging heart gradually let go.
Since the living room in the middle of the three main rooms is the most spacious, and there is a door between the living room and the dining room on the right, we decided to gather in these two rooms tonight.
We found the futon from the inner courtyard of Fang's house and spread it on the ground, and five special police officers arranged to stand guard, and the others rested in peace.
I slept with Meng Xiang in the restaurant on the right, naturally Meng Xiang was close to the wall, and I protected Meng Xiang outside.
I kept wondering why the statue of the woman had that magic until I fell asleep in a trance.
I felt like I had a few beautiful dreams, and one dream seemed to see Meng Xiang and Zhang Xiaoyun.
But when I woke up, I couldn't remember the exact situation in the dream.
When I opened my eyes, I saw that Meng Xiang was still sleeping sweetly next to my pillow, as if she was also dreaming, with a sweet smile on the corner of her mouth.
I couldn't hold it back, so I leaned in and kissed it.
Meng Xiang didn't feel that I kissed her, and was still immersed in a sweet dream.
But I couldn't continue to enjoy the beauty of hugging Meng Xiang, because there was a burst of phone ringing, which kept coming to my ears.
I think the reason why I was awake at this time was because I was woken up by the ringing of the phone.
I had to sit up and see Gao Lingkai, who was lying on the other side, also sleepy-eyed and propping up.
I didn't care about Gao Lingkai, and saw that the dining room and living room were full of people who were still sleeping, and at the door of the two rooms facing the courtyard in the dining room and living room, there was a special police officer sitting on a chair and dozing off with his eyes closed.
I felt a sense of foreboding in my heart, but the phone was still ringing, and I had to bypass the SWAT sitting at the door, open the door and run out.
I ran straight to the room on the far left where the TV and telephone were placed, pushed open the hidden door, grabbed the landline telephone that kept ringing and put it to my ear.
"Meng Xiang? Is it Meng Xiang? Director Lei's voice immediately came from the earpiece.
"I'm Colliers!" I replied.
"Colliers, is something happening? Why do you only answer the phone in the middle of the day? Director Lei asked.
And his question made the sense of foreboding in my heart even stronger.
"Director Lei, we were all sleeping just now, and I was woken up by your phone ringing!" I replied, already feeling a slight tremor in my voice.
Director Lei said "ah" over there, and said, "It's almost nine o'clock, I called five or six times in a row, how could it be that I just woke you up?" What about the SWAT? Do they ...... Still asleep? ”
"Yes!" I took a breath and tried my best to turn my brain, which had already begun to be confused, "Director Lei, wait a minute, I'll go see the situation over there, and then call you back!" ”
"Okay, I'll wait!" Director Lei hung up the phone.
I put down the microphone and immediately went back to the living room.
I saw that the room full of people was still asleep, and the two SWAT officers who were dozing off in their chairs showed no sign of being awake.
And sitting at the door of the living room was none other than Special Police Officer Yang.
I remember last night SWAT Yang arranged a shift vigil, and he took the first shift himself, in other words, before he woke up the SWAT guard of the second shift, he was already sitting on a chair and falling asleep.
"Officer Yang! Officer Yang! I shouted loudly, pushing SWAT Yang hard.
But nothing happened.
Because I used too much force, I even pushed SWAT Yang directly from the chair to the ground, and I fell with a "thump" sound, and SWAT Yang did not show any signs of soberness.
Gao Lingkai had already laid down again, but I was so noisy that he sat up first, and when I pushed Special Police Yang to the ground, Gao Lingkai finally realized that something was wrong.
He jumped to his feet, ran to me, and nervously asked me, "What's wrong?" Others...... Can't wake up either? ”
I didn't have time to pay attention to him, so I hurriedly entered the restaurant, hugged Meng Xiang, who was still sleeping soundly with a sweet smile, into my arms, and shook her gently, while calling her repeatedly: "Meng Xiang, Meng Xiang, wake up!" Meng Xiang, Meng Xiang, wake up! ”
But Meng Xiang didn't move, let me shake, let me shout, she always slept quietly.
Even the sweet smile on the corner of his mouth did not change.
"Meng Xiang, Meng Xiang, wake up! Meng Xiang, Meng Xiang, wake up! "I'm still screaming, I'm still shaking.
Before I knew it, tears slipped from my eyes and dripped down my cheeks, all on Meng Xiang's face.
But I didn't feel anything, just looked at Meng Xiang, looked at the girl I loved so much, and continued to shake, continue to shake.
Until Gao Lingkai had to snatch Meng Xiang away from my arms with a sudden slam, and yelled at me: "Gao Li, you can't do this!" Now we have to find a way to save them, what's the use of you like this? ”
I snapped into it, and then I felt that my face was full of tears.
But I didn't care about wiping my tears, I first reached out and snatched Meng Xiang back from Gao Lingkai's hand, looking at her sweet and beautiful sleeping face, I felt extremely sad in my heart, and even more extremely regretful.
I regret not taking her back to Linnan in a helicopter yesterday, and I am sad that this girl I love so much, if she never wakes up again, I have no motivation to survive.
At that moment, I even thought of a poem: Ask what is the love in the world, and teach people to live and die!
"Colliers, calm down and think about what we should do? Think about why only the two of us didn't fall asleep? ”
yes, why are we the only ones who haven't fallen asleep?
I put down Meng Xiang, wiped my tears, and tried my best to sort it out.
But because of Meng Xiang, I was dizzy at all, and I couldn't think of anything clearly.
It wasn't until the phone rang again that all of a sudden, a thought came to my mind.
I calmed down, reluctantly glanced at Meng Xiang, got up and walked to the house on the far left, picked up the microphone, and talked to Director Lei.
"Director Lei, Meng Xiang and the five special police officers and two experts who came yesterday are all asleep, and they can't wake up no matter how they scream!" I said, with a sharp pang of distress that made my voice choke up slightly.
With an "ah", Director Lei urgently asked, "What did you say?" What do you mean...... You're the only one still awake now? ”
"It's not just me, there's also Gao Lingkai! We were lost in the mountains before, and we once met three travelers, and Gao Lingkai was one of them! "I tried to explain it to Director Lei as briefly as possible.
"But...... When you were lost in the mountains, Meng Xiang was also with you! Why did she fall asleep, but you have nothing to do with this surnamed Gao? ”
"I'm not sure why, but I guess Gao Lingkai and I both had strange dreams about that woman with no eyes. In addition, after helping the group of tribesmen recover the holy relics, Gao Lingkai and I once slept overnight in the so-called sacred cave of the tribesmen, and that sacred cave is the place where the combination of the front relief and the back relief is placed. ”
Director Lei was quiet for a while, as if he was trying to make sense of what I said.
Soon, however, he asked new questions.
"If you say so, then the front relief and the back relief are actually somehow related to this sleeping incident?"
"I think it should be so, otherwise I can't explain why Gao Lingkai and I didn't fall into a deep sleep like everyone else!" I replied calmly.
