Chapter Twenty-Nine
Taking advantage of this slow effort, Liu Ran walked over quickly, under the light, her steps were very steady, almost no different from walking on flat ground.
As soon as she walked back, she didn't wait for Dongfang, she tore open my socks and stared at my feet.
Startled by her sudden movements, I was about to ask what was wrong, but suddenly I noticed that a pinch of red hair had grown on my feet.
It was growing right behind my ankle, and I didn't notice it at first, but it was only when she looked so closely that I realized something unusual.
"Me! Am I getting caught in the skin by that poisonous hook? I couldn't help but ask cautiously, but I was afraid for a while.
Thinking of the red caterpillars I saw in the burial chamber, I couldn't help but get goosebumps.
You know, those things will be pierced into the bones, and looking at this posture, it seems that it can also suck people's blood, like leeches in dry land.
But what surprised me the most was that I didn't feel anything, as if nothing had happened, just a little cold.
Could it be that this red caterpillar also secretes something similar to an anesthetic, which makes me lose consciousness for a short time and become like a wooden man.
This kind of thinking is really terrible, if that's the case, what's the difference between it and a corpse! Think about the skeletons on the stone platform, aren't they just unable to feel anything, so they are completely dominated by those insects and come to life?
Thinking about it carefully, the more I thought about it, the more scared I became, Liu Ran looked up and said to me coldly, "Have you ever been here?" ”
I was stunned by what she said, and for a while I wondered if she was talking to me? How could I have been here! If I had been here, would I still be able to do this?
After thinking about it, could she have found any important clues on my feet, and immediately asked, "What is on my feet, is it that kind of red caterpillar bug, how did it crawl on my feet, is there a way to get it out?" I don't feel it at all! ”
Listening to my series of questions, the other party just sighed, looked like he wanted to say something, and finally only told me, "It's okay, don't think about it!" Then he added, "It doesn't look like you!" ”
I was a little confused by her strange words, especially when she said it in a very small voice, it sounded more like she was talking to herself, as if there was something to hide from me, which made people feel a little disgusted, as if I was only making trouble for them.
But she seems to have always hidden something from me, and even Dongfang, this strange woman, is really not simple, but when I have been in the tomb, there are some things I don't want to ask too clearly.
When she had finished saying that, she looked back to the east, and I slowly touched the red hair on my feet.
When I touched my hand, I didn't feel anything weird, but I felt a little prickly, and I was a little uncomfortable for a while.
It's like the armpit hair in the squeaky socket, and when I go down the handful of hair, I only feel the skin, but I don't find the kind of bug.
Is this naturally grown? I couldn't believe it, but after a few glances around the soles of my feet, I really didn't find any of the bugs.
At this time, Dongfang also came over dangerously, saw me looking at the soles of my feet, and asked, "What are you doing?" ”
After he asked, I realized that now was not the time to rest, and immediately replied, "It's okay, let's find a way to get out of here!" ”
Although I said this, it still didn't feel right, the red hair on my feet definitely didn't have it from my original place, but it grew for some reason here.
Thinking of this, I immediately looked around again, could it be that these things mutate my skin, which caused this hair to grow.
Thinking to myself, I glanced at the other people's feet, but I couldn't see them because they were all wearing shoes.
But just as I was about to ask Dongfang to drag down his shoes and want to verify my speculation from him, Liu Ran suddenly said, "Don't look at it, we don't have anything on our feet!" ”
Hearing her say this, I was even more puzzled, and looked down at my feet again, is there anything special about me?
I was pricked by that poisonous insect first, and then these red hairs grew on my feet, could it be that the cause is all on me?
But...... What's so special about me?
In the past ten years, I have felt that I am the kind of person who does nothing, even if it is not the kind of person who is not necessarily recognized in the pile of shame, but I have not found that my body is different from others.
I can't find an answer from me, but it's just such an ordinary person, and something strange has happened to me, I really don't know if it's creation or bad luck.
With a burst of depression, I pulled out a pair of rubber shoes from my backpack and changed them on.
However, after putting it on, when I walked, I could vaguely feel something on the soles of my feet.
However, I have gradually adapted to it, because we still have a long way to go.
With flashlights, we walked in a softer area, surrounded by potholes, similar to puddles in the rainforest.
I shone the flashlight there, and there was a layer of translucent liquid inside, no different from what we saw outside, but after walking for a while, I suddenly saw some light coming from the front.
Liu Ran immediately stopped and made a pause gesture to us, while she herself carefully shot the flashlight along the potholes on the ground.
Looking along the flashlight, there is also a small crater in there, which should be the same as what I saw earlier, but the color reflected by the light does not seem to be the same as the liquid in other potholes.
After the flashlight hit the small pit, it did not stop there, but continued to shine deeper into the place.
On the other side of the darkness, there was a faint glow that seemed to shine through some hole.
When I saw this, I was overjoyed, could it be that someone else had discovered the entrance to the stone wall, and had knocked on a hole like we did, and was trying to get in?
There should be only a few of us coming in here, and the one on the other side is either Chen Haidong or Lao Zhong.
Thinking of this possibility, I immediately told Dongfang, but Liu Ran said to be careful, the atmosphere here didn't seem right.
The surroundings were still very quiet, Liu Ran slowly lowered his body, took back the flashlight, and said to us again, "Turn on the flashlight, if there is something to say in the back, I'll go over and take a look first." ”
She is really experienced, I don't know how many times she has experienced such a situation before, and the kind of calmness she shows in the world is not easy to learn.
Dongfang was also very relieved, just nodded, turned on the flashlight, and shone it on the backpack behind Liu Ran.
Under the light, Liu Ran lowered his body, slowly walked around the small pit, and shone it inside with a flashlight, and after seeing that there was nothing unusual, he was about to continue moving forward, but at this time, I suddenly felt that something was wrong, as if there were some details in my mind in an instant, so I didn't have time to capture it, I only felt a moment of loss.
That feeling, as if it was close to me, made me subconsciously say, "Be careful!" ”
After Liu Ran heard this, he suddenly turned around, and at the same time, a black shadow also instantly flashed from under the light.
I immediately turned on the flashlight and chased the dark shadow to shine past, but the thing had disappeared at this moment.
"What is it?" Dongfang saw me nervously shaking the flashlight beside Liu Ran, trying to capture what he had just done, so he asked curiously, but I shook my head and said hesitantly, "I didn't see it clearly, but the size is very small." ”
"But how can there be any other living creatures here? This is the nest of those poisonous bugs! Could it be that something else is coming to grab the land? ”
"I don't know, maybe the eggs we saw at the beginning have already begun to hatch!"
Listening to my speculation, Dongfang frowned, and seemed to agree with my idea.
"What do you see?" As I spoke, I shone the flashlight on Liu Ran again, but at this time, I realized that I couldn't say anything just now.
Shadows, it seems that that kind of thing has come out again, and what I see in the tomb is also a shadow.
Now, the light of my flashlight and the Dongfang one shine on Liu Ran's body, and from the perspective of the light, her shadow should appear in front of her if it is normal.
But the shadow that appeared in front of me was parallel to her, and this could not have happened unless there was some other light source from her?
In the eerie atmosphere, I immediately moved my gaze to the flesh wall on her left, which was empty, and the other side was the same.
Aside from the light source we have here, the only thing that still shines is the hole in the distance.
But such a faint light, let alone being able to cast a shadow on her, I am afraid that even people can't shine clearly.
Look at her shadow again - the clear outline, the appearance of all black, makes people feel that it will rush at any moment.
I remember the last time I saw that strange shadow, it was because of the bugs on my body, but now I feel very awake, and what I see is not that kind of delusional thing at all.
Hopefully it's not my crow's mouth – those bugs are really hatching, they're really coming out, like they're in a burial chamber.
In order to confirm my thoughts, I nervously stretched out my hand and carefully touched the back of my head, but I didn't touch anything, the only thing that was still there was the wound.
It's healing, and it's quiet, and it's not showing up, like the strange and numerous auditory hallucinations of the last time.
I looked at all this numbly, déjà vu, but also extremely unfamiliar, it was definitely not an illusion, but real.
But this reality is completely incomprehensible, and the shadows under the light are changing strangely, and they are slowly moving.
They moved around Liu Ran, and my flashlight followed it, but I didn't move, and the thoughts in my heart were like boiling water in a kettle, big and blistering.
The black shadow circled around until it finally returned to its original position, and then I saw a bright light shine through and shoot straight into my eyes.
In an instant, I felt a tingling pain in my eyeballs, and immediately closed my eyes, and when I opened them again, everything finally became normal.
Liu Ran stood there, shining a flashlight at me, and I was a little dazzling by her, so I blocked it in front of me with my hand.
"What happened to you?" Dongfang also asked me, but I shook my head.
After the flashlight hit Liu Ran's body, a black shadow dragged behind her, but when I removed the flashlight, a black hand suddenly stretched out from the shadow.
