Chapter 108: Hidden Ghosts in the Sand

My lights flickered in the shadows, and the cold air around me hit me, and I screamed with courage, but the other man remained motionless, and from my position, he was a zombie, lifeless.

As I cautiously walked towards him, I could hear my own nervous heartbeat.

Is this my hallucination? I wasn't sure, but I held the flashlight in my hand and watched as the pillar of light approached and the black shadow seemed to fade.

About a meter away from him, I stopped, and saw the shadow curled up beside Ham, and I suddenly moved the pillar of light, and then immediately moved back to its original position, and when I saw it again, the weirdness was finally gone.

But just as I was breathing a sigh of relief, another shadow walked into the light again, and I subconsciously looked at that person, only to suddenly find that that person turned out to be Li Sansi.

Seeing him appear, I finally put down my heart, and walked over slowly, and when I turned Ham around with Li Sansi, I was shocked to find that his whole face seemed to be coated with a layer of lime, and he was not a living person at all.

The face stiffened, and when the projection of the facial features fell on the face, there seemed to be a stream of black gas in those blurred shadows.

As I got closer, I felt a chill coming, and Ham's eyelids were furrowed, and even along his eyebrows seemed to seep a chill.

That kind of face is no longer a normal person's complexion, we looked at it a few times, and we all felt that something was wrong, and then Li Sansi pinched his Renzhong first, and after seeing that it didn't work, he immediately picked him up and walked to an open space in a few steps.

I shook the flashlight left and right, and after seeing that there were no skeletons around, I asked Li Sansi to put Ham here, but judging by his expression, he should have been evil.

Li Sansi dabbled in this, pulled the backpack from his body, quickly unzipped it, and found a wooden box from inside.

This box is octagonal in shape, very quaint, and a peculiar gossip graphic is engraved on the top of the box.

And after he fumbled a few times in the opening of the box, he only heard a creak, and the box was opened by Li Sansi, and the flashlight shone inside, and I saw that there were several compartments inside, and in one of the partitions there were several rows of silver needles of different lengths.

After pulling out three needles of about ten centimeters from inside, Li Sansi turned around and pierced the needles along Ham's bun one after another.

I saw that near those silver needles, a layer of red blood spread along the scalp to the face, which looked like bloodshot at first glance, but it was very blurry, and it seemed to extend from under the skin.

The red blood stranded out, constantly splitting the gray-white face, and finally connecting into a net, densely covering the face.

At this point, Li Sansi took out a few shorter silver needles from the box, pierced them along the surface of the bloodshots, and after a while, slowly pulled them out, but picked out a layer of white on the needles.

After a few times, these white things were constantly picked out, and then Li Sansi put them into a wooden box, a small bottle in another partition.

They were not living creatures, and after being soaked in a layer of viscous liquid, they quickly corroded and disappeared.

"Come here, hold his temples with both hands!" Li Sansi said to me, and he quickly withdrew the needle and put it back in place.

I didn't dare to hesitate, I did as he said, and saw Li Sansi take out a box of red cinnabar and a brush from the wooden box.

After clicking a few points in the cinnabar box with the tip of the brush, Li Sansi took a deep breath and began to paint on Ham's face.

At first I didn't know what he was drawing, but I quickly guessed that it was an angry face.

It can be seen that Li Sansi's technique is very skillful, starting from the forehead, dividing the pen on both cheeks, and gradually repairing those incomplete parts.

But when he first drew half of his face, he immediately put away his pen and sketched the outline of the lower half of his face with some strange words.

The characters are in the seal style, the upper half is linked to the nose, the middle of the kernel, and the lower half is deliberately depicted as the outline of the chin and beard.

When all the blanks were filled, Li Sansi motioned for me to rub Ham regularly on his temples, and he plucked two more hairs from his temples and waved his hand on my shoulder.

With such a beat, as if by magic, he actually lit his hair, but the flame was small and disappeared in an instant, but I could still smell a strange smell in the air.

The smell was very thin, but it gathered around but did not disperse for a long time, and at this moment, Li Sansi closed his eyes slightly, and there were words in his mouth, but his voice was urgent and light, and I couldn't hear anything at all.

When he had finished reciting, he put the thumb of his right hand on Ham's forehead, the bridge of his nose, and his chin, and then he saw that Ham suddenly opened his eyes, and his mouth opened and exhaled a mouthful of white cold.

When the chill came out, I felt the temperature around me drop suddenly, but it quickly disappeared again, until Ham woke up leisurely and his gaze flickered across our faces.

"It's okay, tell me what you saw earlier?" Li Sansi said, motioning for me to let go of my hand, and put the wooden box away myself, and handed Ham a towel to wipe the cinnabar off his face.

Ham soothed his nerves while rubbing the cinnabar from his face, his eyes were hollow, and it was not until all the paint was wiped off that the look on his face gradually improved.

After putting down the towel, Ham spoke about what had happened before, "As soon as I came in, I felt that it was strangely cold here, as if I had entered an ice cellar, and I shivered from the cold, but I was about to look for you, but I saw a shadow on the stone wall......"

Following his statement, we are taken into the mural he had just seen, and in this cold and biting place, a huge mural unfolded.

It was an angry demon king with chains in his hands and a strange headband on his head.

Looking along the murals, I saw that in other murals, there were many figures, they looked like people and non-people, such as ghosts in the mountains, beasts in the cave, and all with hideous faces.

In the darkness, here is a great cage, guarded by the Yin Si of Tubo, and the souls of the dead in the chains are imprisoned by dolls made of sea columber.

The living are human beings, bound by the laws of heaven, earth and man, so they dare not do anything wrong, but they are free from the shackles of humanity, and their souls are often scattered everywhere and act recklessly.

The chains in the fresco, piercing through all the walls, captured twelve dead souls, whose bodies had no obvious features to prove each other's identities, but the only thing that was clear was their faces.

The various expressions on the face represent the character of the deceased soul before their death, they cry and laugh, there is sadness and joy, they seem to be sentient beings, but they lack the posture of sentient beings, showing their ugliness.

Facing that clear face, this may be the end of everything, life and death are a door, and behind the door is endless vanity.

"I felt very strange when I stood in front of the mural, because when I looked at the people on the mural, I couldn't feel the coldness around me, and I could even hear their voices, as if they were talking to me in my ear."

"He said, this is home, let me stay here. She said that the catastrophe will erupt in the light, and if you close your eyes, you can see heaven, and God is reading the Bible to me......"

Watching him point to the captured demons on the mural one by one, Li Sansi and I looked at each other, and finally said, "There is a lot of weirdness here, if we can't find the exit, we must leave as soon as possible!" ”

Ham stared at the murals and didn't answer, but he drew a cross on his chest, but when he went to get his backpack, he suddenly froze.

I heard it too, and it was the same quicksand that followed, and it was faster and faster than before, and it was even outside.

We shined through the hole in the demon's body, and sure enough, we saw layers of quicksand flowing from the outside.

Looking at that posture, we can't run at all, we can only hide here, maybe we can hold on for a while.

Shaking the flashlight, Li Sansi looked at me with an inquiring gaze, but I didn't know what to do, so I had to say, "Now that we go out, it is equivalent to death, so it is better to hide here first." ”

Li Sansi pondered for a moment, and then said coldly, "This is better an idea!" ”

After saying that, he beckoned Ham to go with him to find the door, and find a way to block it first.

I wanted to go over, but suddenly someone grabbed my arm, and my body trembled violently, and my heart said that this time it should not be my turn!

But I rubbed my eyes, making sure I didn't see anything I shouldn't see, how could I ......

"Don't move!" The voice sounded behind me, and I was startled by him, but immediately understood who this man was.

The light shone quickly towards the man, and sure enough, I saw a mask, I hadn't seen him since I came in, and I didn't know where he had gone.

But just as I was about to ask, the other party immediately made a silent gesture to me, because I couldn't see his expression through the mask, but seeing him like this, I was also nervous, maybe he found something again.

The light followed his gesture downward, and I saw a skull glowing faintly at our feet.
