Chapter 42: The Shaking Light
In order to let the old prostitute climb up quickly, I lay on the stone at the ferry, stretched out my hands and took the flashlight to look down, hoping to help him illuminate the stone wall below.

As soon as I heard the old prostitute say that the flashlight was shaking his eyes, I immediately turned off the flashlight, and was just about to explain to him that I was not deliberately joking, when I suddenly felt something strange in the cave behind me.
I immediately looked back into the cave, and saw a flickering light in the distance.
"Who?" I instinctively asked, and immediately turned on the flashlight and shone it into the cave. I don't know if the light of my flashlight was obscuring the light, but when I looked again, the shaking light was gone.
"What who? I mean, your flashlight is shaking my eyes. The old prostitute replied inexplicably below.
"I didn't ask you," I said, glancing under the stone wall, the old prostitute was still in the same position just now, probably after being shaken by the flashlight, and his eyes had not yet eased, so he did not continue to climb up, and remained in place.
"You didn't ask me, so who are you kid asking?"
I didn't answer the old prostitute's question, and stared straight inside the cave, but no matter how closely I looked at it, I didn't see the light just now.
For a moment, I began to wonder if I was wrong, but when I thought about it, I thought it was impossible, a bright light in the darkness could not be caused by Dazzle.
I immediately turned off my flashlight, and the cave fell into dead darkness again. The darkness lasted less than two seconds before the light reappeared. But this time the light didn't shake and stayed in one place.
This time I didn't ask questions, and even controlled the sound of my breathing. It's not a sign of fear, it's a sign that I want to observe it quietly.
"What's wrong? Xiao Qi, what's wrong with it? The old prostitute asked below.
I don't know how the old prostitute noticed something strange on it, because he couldn't see what I was doing when he was climbing the rock wall, but one thing was for sure, the old prostitute must have sensed something, so he asked me.
"There's light in there." I replied softly.
"Really, don't be kidding, there's no sun or moon here." The old prostitute's voice was also lowered a lot, and then asked, "What kind of light, is it a flashlight?" ā
"It's too far to see clearly, but the light was shaking just now, but it won't move again."
"Still?" The old prostitute was puzzled, and then said, "Don't move yet, wait for me to go up and take a look." ā
As soon as I wanted to say yes to the old prostitute, the light inside shook again, and I felt a little chaotic, coming and going.
Soon the light became more and more blurry, and I suddenly realized that something was wrong, and the rhythm of the light swaying inside was like a person running forward with his flashlight back to me.
The more I looked at it, the more it looked like a person was running, and it was running towards it. After observing it for a few seconds, I could conclude that it was a person, because in the shaking of the bright light, his body would block the flashlight from time to time, revealing a black shadow in the shape of a human.
"Oh no, he ran away." Suddenly, it occurred to me that if it was really a person on the other side, then I shouldn't let him run away, because this person probably knew about this place, and he might even be the one who came in with the elder brother.
In the midst of this, I stood up and did not hesitate to turn on the flashlight and chase inside.
"Don't chase"
The old prostitute must have heard me running, and I looked back, but he hadn't climbed up yet.
In a hurry, I didn't have time to delay, and I didn't have time to explain to the old prostitute, so I shouted to the back: "The old prostitute followed my flashlight."
I believe that the old prostitute will be able to climb up in less than ten seconds and eight seconds, and he will definitely be able to see my flashlight when he comes up, because this cave is straight, at least there is no other fork in the road where the flashlight can shine.
Chasing someone in a strange place is a very passive thing, because you don't know where he will run to, and you don't know what kind of terrain is in the distance, and you can't make an accurate prediction, so all you can do is chase after him.
The most uncomfortable thing for me is not the terrain here, but the fact that I have to turn off the flashlight from time to time while running, and only in the dark can I see the light flickering in the distance and judge his exact location.
Sure enough, after about ten seconds, a flashlight shone from behind, and at the same time, I heard the voice of the old prostitute shouting from behind, but I didn't hear what he shouted, but I was sure that he came up, and he could see me.
After knowing in my heart that the old prostitute can see me, I no longer have any scruples, as long as the old prostitute can see me, it is not a problem to catch up with me with his physical strength. I began to release all my strength, and although there was still some pain in my lower back, I only had one thought now, which was to catch the person running in front of me.
Everything was as I expected, the flashlight behind me began to shake, and the old prostitute was chasing after me.
I turned off my flashlight completely, and saw the ground clearly with the help of the faint light source illuminated by the old prostitute behind me, and after chasing for dozens of seconds, the bright light shaking in front of me suddenly disappeared.
As the light faded, I stopped running fast and began to slow down, keeping my eyes fixed on the front. I was sure I wasn't missing, but I didn't know if the other person was hiding the light or if he had turned off the flashlight, and my gut told me that he was right in front.
I looked back, the old prostitute was still a few dozen meters away from me, and I made a gesture to him to turn off the flashlight. Because I suddenly realized that the old prostitute's flashlight was shining all on me, and in the darkness I had become a living target, and that I had become very passive no matter who was in front of me, and perhaps that person was hiding in the darkness in front of me, and I had undoubtedly become the object of his observation.
The old prostitute immediately understood my gesture, turned off the flashlight, ran to me after more than ten seconds, and asked me softly, "What's the situation ahead?" Are you sure you're seeing people? ā
"Yes, he's running around as a person, and he seems to be in front, hiding somewhere in the dark."
As soon as I finished speaking, the light in front of me lit up again, but this time it didn't shake, but flashed twice.
"So far," the old prostitute exclaimed, and then said, "At least three or four hundred meters." ā
Judging distance in the dark is not just difficult to describe, I don't know how the old prostitute judged it, but I think it may be an experience.
