Chapter 247: The Demon of Evil
Chu Yao was sweating from the 'door', and immediately 'pumped' her hand back, and Uncle Shi hurriedly poured 'medicine' powder on her hand and bandaged her wound, while the fat man helped the thin monkey deal with it...
But without waiting for the fat man to give the thin monkey a good 'medicine', the thin monkey exclaimed: "How can you talk and not count?" I'll pick first! ”
The thin monkey shouted directly, and directly pushed the 'door' in, and we came back to our senses, it turned out that Qian'er had already pulled the chain and went in sideways.
I turned to my sister, thinking that it was not safe for my sister to be here alone, and I didn't know what was going on inside with her, so I still asked Chizuru to take my sister and the fat man to leave here first.
"No, if you don't go, we won't go." The fat man said very firmly, my eyes glanced at the lake again, and found that Lu Hengming and they were surrounded by more and more powerful ghosts, and they were surrounded by shadows like skeletons, and they must not be able to get over for a while.
"Then, otherwise, you wait here, I'll go and get back quickly." I thought about it again and again, and this was already the biggest concession.
"That's it, Xiao Fan'er, you are here with Chu Yatou and the rhino girl's sister, and I will accompany the rhino girl in." After Uncle Shi finished speaking, seeing that the fat man and I seemed to have something to say, he immediately raised his hand: "This matter is so decided, Xiao Fan'er, your peachwood sword is also broken, and your hand is also badly injured, and it may not be able to help you if you go in, so just wait here." ”
After Uncle Shi finished speaking, without waiting for the fat man to raise any more objections, he pulled me into the main 'door' of the bone building.
And, after entering, the 'door' was immediately closed.
I just don't know why, the moment I closed the 'door', I heard a "bang", as if the chains outside were tied again.
"This?" I thought that when I came in through the 'door', I would see a large hall, or really, as the thin monkey said, there were a lot of treasures placed here.
But I didn't expect that when I came in, I found that it was pitch black, and there was a 'damp' dampness in the air.
Shi Bo grabbed my wrist and didn't forget to remind me: "Girl, something is wrong here, you be careful, you take this." ”
Uncle Shi slipped the dagger into my hand, and I nodded, squinting and looking around.
Maybe it's because the light outside is so dazzling that I can't get used to the darkness for a while.
There was a soft "click", and a beam of light lit up in front of him, and it was Uncle Shi who turned on the flashlight.
I looked in the direction of the beam and was stunned, what was going on? Why is there a big tree in front of us?
Moreover, this tree is very thick, it is estimated that four or five 'adult' people can't surround it, and this tree exudes a kind of red 'color' light throughout the tree, which makes people feel afraid to approach.
"Uncle Shi, what is this?" I looked up at the tree and saw that its roots were rising high above the ground, growing straight upwards, and we couldn't see the top of the tree from where we stood.
And, if you smell it carefully, you can smell a faint fragrance.
"This? Could it be a "evil demon", the girl covered her mouth and nose, don't smell it. Uncle Shi looked at the big tree in a daze, and muttered two words in his mouth.
"What is a demon?" I immediately covered my mouth and nose, looked at Uncle Shi and asked vaguely.
"It is a kind of tree that can 'fascination' people's minds, can find the cracks in your heart, know your fears, and weaknesses, magnify them infinitely, and finally, take your 'sex' life." After Uncle Shi finished speaking, his expression became very 'gloomy'.
"Is it like the 'flower' that we encountered before?" I remember that at that time, I almost died.
Uncle Shi nodded: "That's right, but this 'evil demon' is much more powerful than those 'flowers', after we pass for a while, you try not to think about anything in your head, you know?" ”
"Hmm." I thought for a moment and nodded.
Uncle Shi walked ahead, and I also took out a flashlight, shining on the uneven ground, thinking that the thin monkey who had just come in with Qian'er didn't know what was going on, so I called the name of the thin monkey loudly.
"Skinny monkey? Skinny monkey? I screamed several times in a row, but I didn't hear any response, thinking to myself that he might have gone up.
My uncle and I walked around the front of the big tree, and a dusty wooden corridor was behind it, and the pattern here was a hollow hollow structure in the middle.
After shining the beam of the flashlight on the ground, I noticed that there were several obvious footprints on the ground heading upstairs.
Judging from the size of the footprints, it should be a thin monkey, so my uncle and I glanced at each other and followed the footprints upstairs.
"Skinny monkey? Skinny monkey? I shouted.
The silence here was terrifying, as if only the footsteps of my uncle and I could be heard.
Walking to the second floor, I saw that the branches of this tree hung directly down to the corridor on the second floor, but the leaves on these branches were very strange, like a smiling face?
"That's the soul sealed inside." After speaking, Uncle Shi raised his flashlight and looked towards the corridor.
There was no one in the hallway, and I looked at the footprints on the ground, and they seemed to continue to go upstairs.
We were careful all the way to the third floor, and the third floor and the second floor were exactly the same layout, the rooms in the corridor, and the branches of the trees falling on the ground were the same.
After glancing at it, I couldn't help frowning, and Uncle Shi coughed and reminded me: "Don't think nonsense." ”
"Hmm." I nodded, actually, just now, my mind was really thinking, this place is a little weird, the decorations and layouts in the corridor are the same, I can understand, but how can even the fallen branches be the same.
"Click."
At this moment, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps from upstairs, as if a person was running quickly down the corridor in a panic.
"Skinny Monkey?" I screamed, and ran upstairs with my uncle and uncle, thinking to myself that the thin monkey must be in some danger.
In this kind of place, Qian'er may be able to go up safely, but the skinny monkey is dangerous.
"Skinny Monkey, I'm Lin Xi, where are you?" I opened my mouth and shouted.
"Girl, the footprints seem to have gone upstairs." Uncle Shi pointed to the footprints on the stairs and said to me.
I nodded, and followed the footprints and continued to run upstairs with my uncle.
After we went up another floor, the footsteps of "click" sounded again, and the sound was still coming from the previous floor.
When I was about to continue to catch up, Uncle Shi suddenly made a stop gesture at me, and carefully tilted his ear to listen to the movement upstairs.
"Click."
After my uncle and I stopped, the footsteps became clearer and clearer, yes, they came from upstairs, I am sure of that.
After listening carefully for a while, Uncle Shi glanced at me, and I saw something strange in his eyes.
"There's something wrong with the footsteps." Uncle Shi frowned and said.
"What's wrong? Is it that the skinny monkey is too scared, so he keeps running upstairs? I looked at my uncle and asked.
Uncle Shi shook his head: "Girl, if someone is chasing you from behind, what will your running speed look like?" ”
"Me? I'm going to run as hard as I can. "I said without thinking.
"Listen to the footsteps, they seem to be running 'quite fast', but why, do they always stop?" Uncle Shi's question immediately made the sweat 'hair' on my body stand up.
Yes, obviously, the footsteps upstairs are always running and stopping, which is very abnormal.
And, we're shouting here, why isn't there a response at all? He should be able to hear me screaming.
"Girl." Uncle Shi frowned and said to me, "Look for any rope in your bag." ”
"Oh." I quickly put down the backpack, I haven't had time to look through it, but now I open it, and there are a lot of things inside, torches, short knives, and 'medicine' bags, in short, a lot of things, and a small bag of compressed biscuits underneath.
I picked it up and handed it to my uncle.
Immediately afterwards, he found a bundle of rope from the bag on the inside of the backpack, and he didn't know what Lu Hengming was going to do with this rope.
Uncle Shi took the rope and immediately tied it to his own wrist, and the other end to my wrist, to prevent the two of us from getting separated.
"Remember, girl, we have to keep the same pace, don't run away, and don't untie the rope anyway, do you hear me?" Uncle Shi told me with a serious face.
I nodded immediately, and Uncle Shi tugged on the rope again, saying that this should be a rope for mountaineering, and it is quite strong, so it will not break under normal circumstances.
"Let's go." When he had said that, he broke the biscuit I had handed him in half, and handed it back to me.
After eating and calming our minds for a while, the two of us continued to walk upward.
Walking upstairs, no footsteps were heard, and, as we went upstairs, the darkness gradually faded and the beams of light began to grow more and more intense.
"Would you like to rest for a while?" When Uncle Shi saw that I was holding on to the handrail of the staircase, I was almost out of breath, so he asked me.
I shook my head, I wanted to get there as soon as possible, but, strange to say, my uncle and I came all the way, without pausing, why did we climb more than a dozen floors, how do you feel, there is still a long distance from the top floor?
Uncle Shi raised his head and looked up, and couldn't help frowning.
"Uncle Shi, shouldn't we have encountered something like a ghost hitting a wall, and kept going around in circles here, right?" As I spoke, I looked downstairs again, but there were indeed more than a dozen floors of height below, and I even felt dizzy when I stood here and looked down.
"Ghost hitting the wall? No, definitely not, maybe what we see outside is fake, but now when we come in, what we see is the real situation. As he spoke, Uncle Shi raised his hand, put his finger to his mouth, and bit it hard.
After the blood flowed out, Shi Bo immediately smeared the blood on the handrail of the corridor and made a very conspicuous red 'color' swastika.
