Book 1: The Cave of Snow Ridge Chapter 19: The Haunted House in the Forest (1) Step by Step
I rolled all the way up the slope to a pile of fallen leaves before I stopped, and it made me dizzy, like I had been on several roller coasters, and I got motion sickness.
I lay on the ground and slowed down, and only stood up when my eyes were no longer dangling, moved my muscles and bones, and examined my body, and found that my arm was slightly bruised, but it was fine.
I don't know where I am anymore, but there are all the jagged but tall trees, pitch black, and the lush leaves of the trees block the moonlight, and can only be illuminated by strong flashlights.
I don't know what the situation of the four of them is now? But this woods are much the same, the terrain is complicated, and I can't find my way back without a guide alone, and the slope I just rolled down is too steep for me to climb.
At this time, you can only try your luck, fight for character, and find your own way, anyway, you can't sit still.
I walked around the woods with a flashlight, and because the sapper shovel had just been slapped by a bear and there was no tool to mark it, I had to make a triangle with a dead branch under the passing tree as a marker.
Like this kind of black primeval forest, people can't help but be afraid, which has nothing to do with being bold, because the unknown always gives people a sense of mystery, and this mystery has too many hidden dangers, so it is easy to make people afraid, let alone at night, or alone.
But fortunately, I have a strong flashlight in my hand.,This kind of strong light flashlight I use now has a very dick name called "wolf eyes".
The bulb of the wolf's eye flashlight is made of LED, and the other parts are made of aviation aluminum, with a brightness of 1,08 lumens of light, a light range of 350 meters, strong brightness and very concentrated light, and it is short and concise, easy to carry, it is a necessary tool for mountaineering and camping, and it is also used as military equipment by special forces of various countries.
The most important thing is that this wolf's eye flashlight can make the target temporarily blind for three minutes if it directly irradiates the target at night, with this function and the 54* pistol that Lanxin gave me, although it is invincible, but at least self-defense is not a problem.
This also makes me more or less relieved in this dark primeval forest, at least in case of danger, I can save my life first.
As I walked, I suddenly noticed that there was an orange-yellow light flashing not far ahead, and in this dark environment, there was something that would shine that was easy to attract attention.
I don't know what it is? It flickered in place, and out of curiosity, I cautiously walked slowly towards the orange-yellow light.
When I walked to the front and shone a flashlight with a wolf's eye, I realized that the orange flickering light was the lamp of a small black room, which was flashing on the second floor, and it was going to be extinguished.
If I guessed correctly, this should be the terrifying wooden house that Uncle Zhang said will eat people, at this time I am happy and worried, happy that I finally found this wooden house, Xiao Jing and the girl named Yanzi in the village may really be in this house, the worry is that I am alone now, Uncle Zhang said that this wooden house is too terrifying, so I will inevitably be afraid and dare not venture in.
I first looked at the wooden house with a wolf's eye flashlight, a very ordinary small wooden house, a total of two floors, the first floor and the second floor each have a window, the windows on the first floor are all reinforced with thick iron bars welded into a net, the iron mesh is rusty, the wooden house is all painted black, this wooden house is not like an ordinary family house, more like a studio or something.
Because I walked around the wooden house, I found a plaque with the words "*** Studio" basically corrupted, and there were a few words in front that I couldn't read clearly, and I could only see the words "Studio" in the back.
I hesitated for a moment and finally decided to go into the cabin, if Xiao Jing and Yanzi were really inside, then saving people was naturally urgent, and I couldn't wait for the fat man.
What's more, as the saying goes, if you don't enter the tiger's den, you can't even have this courage after being a soldier, it's too embarrassing for my father, I try to find all kinds of reasons to persuade myself to go in.
I didn't dare to touch the door of the wooden house with my hands, if there was any poison on it, it was not loaded, the haunted house in Uncle Zhang's mouth was so terrifying, and one more heart would never suffer, so I casually found a dead branch on the side and pushed the door tentatively, the door was not locked and I pushed open a crack that was just enough for people to get into, I half-squatted and cat's hands and feet, standing on tiptoe and carefully getting in.
As soon as I entered the door, there was an unusually pungent rancid smell coming to my nose, this rancid smell was not another smell, it was the smell of corpses, this kind of corpse smell I was too familiar with, after all, I had fooled around with my uncle, and this corpse smell was mixed with a very special smell, the same as the smell of those corpses in the corpse room in Gurong Village, which undoubtedly shrouded the mysterious cabin with a terrifying atmosphere, and also deepened my worry and fear.
What puzzles me is why the smell of corpses in this cannibalistic wooden house is the same as the smell of the corpses hidden in Gurong Village, there must be a lot of articles in this.
The more terrifying the wooden house, the more dangerous it is for Jing and Yanzi, if they are really in it.
When I entered the hut, I gently closed the door with my foot, leaving no sign of anyone entering, and the lock on the door automatically locked as soon as it was closed.
I was surprised, so I checked the door, and found that there was no unlocked door handle on the door, only a keyhole, it seems that this door has been tampered with, it is to let people have to enter and not get out, suddenly I feel that I have fallen into an unknown trap, it seems that there is more than luck.
But there was no turning back from the bow, and I looked around the first floor with a wolf's eye flashlight, and there was a room on my left, with a closed door, and a hall on my right, and two rooms on each side of the hall, also with the door closed.
In such an environment and situation, a sentence suddenly flashed in my mind: "It seems to be dark in the dark, but in fact, it is not, you just need to let your eyes adapt to the darkness, and the darkness will no longer be dark." This quote comes from Uncle Sam in "Splinter Cell".
Splinter Cell is a stealth hunting game featuring an American agent named Sam, who often goes behind enemy lines alone to complete dangerous missions. When I was a sophomore, I was obsessed with the game and played it when I had nothing to do, so I knew a little bit about diving into search.
Thinking of this, I immediately turned off the wolf's tooth flashlight and found a safe corner to close my eyes and let them adjust to the darkness.
Holding a flashlight in the dark, this is undoubtedly the direction of self-violence, since the enemy is in the dark, I naturally can't be in the light, so as not to suffer. After a while, I estimated that the time was almost up, and I opened my eyes to look around, God helped me, the leaves on the edge of the wooden house were not so dense, and the moonlight could still shine in a little through the window, although I couldn't see it very clearly, but my eyes were basically used to the darkness.
I'll go to the second floor first because there are lights on the second floor. The stairs on the second floor are divided into two floors, I looked at it, the first staircase is almost seven to eight squares, because I have been half-squatting, so when my feet are about to step on the first staircase, I vaguely see a thin reflection on the first staircase, I squatted down completely and took a closer look, it is a fishing line, the fishing line is pulled directly to the wooden wall, the middle end of the wooden wall is a fishing line tied with a pair of scissors, there is another fishing line on the scissors, this fishing line is directly pulled to the ceiling, the ceiling is hanging a few wooden thorns sharpened with thick wood, The pointed ends of the wooden spikes are pointing downward.
The wooden thorns were as hungry and thirsty as they were about to pierce the prey that had stepped on the trap. Seeing this, I couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat on my back, it was really terrifying, and if I wasn't careful, I would die here at any time.
I immediately understood how Uncle Zhang said before how those people died in this wooden house, it seems that this wooden house has a lot of organs, don't take it lightly, I reminded myself, and then directly crossed the first staircase, when I walked the first staircase, I mentally calculated, there are a total of eight stairs. There is a small corner between the first and second staircases, which takes about two or three steps.
The second staircase is almost seven to eight grids, I deliberately paid attention to the stairs, found that there were no traps, so I stepped on it with confidence, when I stepped on the third staircase, the wooden plank of the third staircase made a "squeak" sound, at first I thought that the wooden plank of this grid was aging so it would make a sound, but when I carefully observed it and found that it was not, but the nails on both sides of the wooden board were missing two, it seems that this is artificial, someone deliberately removed the nails, and wanted to use it as an alarm, Such sirens are not easy to attract the attention of prey.
I was so damn thoughtful that I could clearly feel that my breathing was starting to lose my breath, because it was obvious that I had already triggered the alarm, and I was so nervous that I didn't even dare to breathe loudly and stared at the second and first floors.
After a while, there was no movement, and I thought that it was because I was light and footed, so the sound of the plank was too quiet, and it didn't provoke the unknown creatures in the house, so I slowly breathed a sigh of relief.
I didn't dare to lift my feet directly from the plank of the third staircase, for fear that it would "squeak" again, I pressed the plank with both hands, slowly lifted my feet, and slowly lifted my hands again, I felt that the cold sweat on my forehead had all come out, I wiped the cold sweat from my forehead, and when I was about to continue upstairs, I suddenly had a plan.
Prepare to come to the way of others, and treat their bodies, now learn and sell now, since I and this unknown creature are in the shadows, then I have to be more or less guarded.
I thought about removing the nails from the fourth staircase, because the unknown creature would surely step over the third block and step on the fourth.
But there were no tools, so I went back to the hall on the first floor to look for any tools to warp nails. I found a rusty fruit knife in the hall on the first floor, it seems that no one has used it for some years, the handle of the knife is covered with a thick layer of ash, the knife surface has long been rusted and mottled, and there are some traces that seem to have dried up the blood for a long time, I even doubt that this knife can still cut tofu? I checked that the fruit knife didn't have any traps, and I walked straight away.
When I got to the fourth staircase on the second floor, I used a fruit knife to warp the nails on the wooden planks of the stairs, but I couldn't remove all the nails and leave no clues that someone had moved, so I just loosened the planks and the nails were still on them.
When I was done, I sneaked up to the second floor like a rat coming out in the middle of the night to forage for food.
On the second floor, there is a distance of about eight or nine steps from the staircase to the lighted room, and there is a corner in between.
When I got to the door of the room where the lights were on, I crouched in the corner with my back against the wall, and the light inside was flickering without the door closed.
I took out my phone, adjusted the brightness of the phone display to the darkest, only the brightness of the shimmer, and then turned on the camera function, leaned the camera against the wall, and then slowly exposed a small part of the phone with the camera to the wall, so that the camera can shine into the room, and observe what is going on inside through the phone screen, so as not to expose yourself.
From the screen of my mobile phone, there was no one in the room, so I was relieved to turn into the room from the corner of the wall, and there was a rectangular wooden table in the room, and there were many miscellaneous things on the table.
There was also a room next to the long table, the door was closed, and the light in the room was a little dazzling because of the long time it had just been in the dark. The light is lit by an old oil lamp, the oil lamp hangs on the wooden wall next to the door, the oil lamp is the style of more than ten years ago, the whole is a cylinder shape, but the upper and lower ends are slightly narrower, the two ends are iron, and there is a glass cover in the middle, but the glass cover tube has all turned yellow, and there are blood stains on it, dark red and dark red, and the blood stains are bright red in a few places, it seems that it should have just been dyed.
Who would light an oil lamp with blood on their hands? It's so perverted! It made me shudder and creepy at the beginning, what the hell is the unknown creature in this wooden house? I don't know what kind of perverted murderer or something, I can't help but shudder when I think about it.
I didn't dare to touch the glass cover directly with my hands, so I went to the table and found a random piece of broken paper to pad, and after extinguishing the oil lamp, I faintly heard the "squeak...... of a wooden board! I was startled, held my breath and listened carefully, and the stairwell creaked for a moment before "Squeak!" "There were a few rings.
Broken! Someone came up.
It was about a dozen steps from the staircase to the room, which meant I only had a dozen seconds to hide. The room next to the long table was five or six steps away from me, and I could hide inside, so I immediately made a decision, immediately stood on tiptoe, fast, and moved towards the room next to the long table, and when I just grabbed the door handle of the room, my fingers didn't know that they were cut by something extremely sharp, and I immediately saw blood, and I could only roll on the ground in a hurry, and hide directly under the long table.
As soon as he hid under the table, he saw a pair of feet wearing large overalls and shoes appear at the door of the room, and the unknown creature happened to walk to the door of the room.
I sighed softly, it was really thrilling, maybe it was too exciting just now, so I could clearly hear the acceleration of my heartbeat, I breathed softly, I didn't dare to take a breath, I thought that I would try not to be discovered by the unknown creature, so that I could turn the situation into an enemy in the light and in the dark, which would be much more beneficial for me to find Xiaojing and Yanzi.
I lay under the table, watching the unknown creature, but I couldn't see its whole body from my angle, only the knees, which looked like human feet, but the feet were huge, much larger than the average person, and they were wearing a pair of shabby pants.
I watched its every move, and when it entered the door, it stopped at the door, but I heard the sound of the oil lamp colliding with the wooden wall, and it seemed that it first checked why the oil lamp was off, and then the door to enter the room was opened, and it should be behind the inspection door.
After a pause, it was spinning around the edge of the table, and at this time I had already replaced the fruit knife in my hand with the 54* pistol on my waist, thinking to myself what the hell it was, as soon as I got off the table, Lao Tzu would give it a bullet first.
After a while, it didn't lie under the table to look, but slowly walked out of the room, I listened carefully, but I didn't hear the "squeak" of the wooden plank of the staircase where I had moved my hands and feet, and it didn't seem to be going downstairs. How could I be so careless, I suddenly opened my mouth, it seems that it must have deliberately created the illusion that it had gone downstairs for me.
I poked my head out to take a look, then quickly rolled forward on the ground, rolled to the edge of the door it had just checked, and hid behind the door at lightning speed.
As I expected, I saw it walking in lightly through the gap in the wooden door, the gap was too thin to see, and I could only vaguely see its huge and burly figure.
The gap gave me too limited a view, so I took out my phone, turned on the camera function, and just stuck the part of my phone with a camera out of the wooden door as if I had just entered the room. Because the room is blinded by the black light, so I can't see it very clearly, but I still see it through the phone screen, or should I say "he", because I saw a tall and burly person, but he was cloaked, with his back to me, burly, tiger back and bear waist, it is estimated that there are almost two of my combined body shape, I have practiced martial arts for a few years, and the body shape is still good, so it can be seen that this product is not a fuel-efficient lamp.
I saw that after he walked to the table, he suddenly squatted down, the night light shone on the things in his hands, and the things in his hands flashed a silver-white reflection, the cold air was pressing, it was an axe, and the axe was still dripping with blood, my spine was cold, and I secretly said in my heart, "It's so dangerous!" "It's good that I moved my position ahead of schedule.
When he noticed that there was no one under the table, he stood up and turned his head, and at that moment I immediately retracted my phone behind the wooden door.
Then I heard his heavy, powerful footsteps go out, and then I heard the "squeak" of wooden planks, and I was sure that he was going downstairs, and I sighed and walked out from behind the door lightly.
It seems that he can't fight hard, and the top priority is to quickly find out if Xiao Jing and Yanzi are locked up in this terrifying and secretly murderous wooden house.
The room next to the long table aroused my suspicions, because there was a mechanism on the doorknob, which showed that there was a secret in the room, and I decided to check the room first.
As the so-called eat a trench and grow a wisdom, I don't dare to open the door with my hands again, I checked it first, and just found that there is a gap under the door, just the phone can be tilted into it, or the old way, use the mobile phone to reach in to explore the end, but this time there is no way to see the mobile phone screen, so it was changed to video.
I was disappointed by the video I recorded, and it was clear from the blurry video footage that there was only a wardrobe and a wooden box locked with locks.
Just then I heard a woman's scream from downstairs, a very short and high-pitched scream, and I could tell from the sound that the woman was screaming out of fear.
Could it be ......?
