Chapter 25: The Shadow of Peeping
Dongfang's finger immediately retracted, he thought that the thing had come out of the crack, but then he thought, if this was the case, it should have rushed to his door as soon as it rushed out.
I saw only an afterimage in the light of the moment, and if I were asked, I would only say that it looked like a mouse, because I noticed that it was dragging a long tail with it.
"What's that?" Finally, Dongfang broke the uneasiness in everyone's hearts.
"I feel like a mouse!" I tried to say something, but Liu Ran immediately denied it, and she said very bluntly, "It's a slender little black snake, I feel that it has a thin layer of scales on its body, and when it flashes over, it just reflects the flashlight." ”
In the face of her speculation, I was noncommittal, so I had to shrug my shoulders, saying that I had only seen a rough idea, and I didn't dare to guarantee whether it was specific.
Dongfang thought for a while, turned back to me and said, "You go and check around,!" ”
I'll go? Hearing him say this, I was a little hesitant, and I was a little reluctant in my heart, in such a place, let me go alone, a little scared, in case something happens, won't I still be left alone?
But having said that, I can't justify anything, so that it shows that I am too petty. lest be said by the other party: If you are afraid, why did you follow in the first place?
I shook my head to sober myself up, and then I turned on my flashlight to look elsewhere, and by this time I had already extinguished the torch, because the clothes on it were burned, and I threw them on a stone platform, but I didn't give up the wire rope on it, so I stuffed it into my backpack again.
Under the light, I walked to the other end of this stone wall, thinking about it, I have walked back and forth I don't know how many times, but every time I walk, it feels very strange.
In the dark burial chamber, the flashlight constantly swayed back and forth between the stone walls and stone platforms, and if it was a mouse that flew past just now, it was probably in a corner now.
Rats love this damp and dark environment, but where did this thing come from, where we are now, a fully enclosed burial chamber with no entrances on all sides?
I wondered in my heart, could it be that there was already some secret passage around, but why didn't Dongfang find it?
It is said that his Kun Tiandou is very spiritual, if there is any change here, he should find out as soon as possible.
Thinking of this, a surprising thought suddenly popped into my head, and with this thought, I immediately stopped.
Surely they deliberately hid from me, and separated me, and then ran away on their own, leaving me here alone?
When I thought of this possibility, I immediately denied it, if they wanted to harm me, just now hiding in the dark, silent, waiting for me to be killed by the red-haired skeleton, why bother to save me?
But what if it wasn't the idea of the two of them, but the intention of one of them?
Among the three of us, although the person who saved me was Liu Ran, I don't know if she was usually the same as now, looking so weird.
Supposedly, such a young and beautiful girl shouldn't have been Shinto all day long, and when she pretended to be a ghost to scare me that day.
From these factors, I can't help but wonder if there is something wrong with the purpose of the second trip and the woman who is now with us.
Of course, my suspicion is not unreasonable, and it is okay to say that I have worked with her for a short time, and I don't know her, so there will be misunderstandings.
However, Dongfang also told me before that Liu Ran was ghosted before, could it be that the woman who is following us now is already the original Liu Ran?
And now, after I'm being separated by them, will she be quietly following me and trying to do something to me?
I stopped, if it was on it, when I was with the old clock, I wouldn't feel anything, at least not alone.
But now, I was so frightened by this thought of myself that I felt that I was being stared at by something, but I did not dare to look back, lest I see her coming towards me with a knife.
In that case, what should I do?
The flashlight flickered in front of me, and I tried to calm myself down, telling myself that this was all my guess, she might have been like this all along, no fuss, and if there was anything unusual about Liu Ran, Dongfang would have found out a long time ago.
Comforting myself like this, I was finally able to settle down, but at this moment, a black shadow suddenly shone in the light of my flashlight.
Startled by the sudden appearance of this thing, I snorted and retreated sharply, but under the flashlight, the shadow also rushed towards me.
I hurriedly turned around, and was about to call Dongfang them, but the black shadow disappeared again, and at the same speed, I still didn't see what it was.
"What's going on?" Not far away, a voice from the east was heard.
"Oh, no...... Nothing! I didn't know what to say to him, I felt like my nerves were being tensed by everything around me, and I even had a sense of panic.
As I spoke, I wiped the cold sweat on my head, shook my flashlight, and when I was about to go back, I inadvertently shone on Dongfang and them.
My hand suddenly froze, and under the light, I clearly saw a figure with a low body, beside Liu Ran.
That was where I had been, and it seemed like I was still there, watching intently at the stone wall cut to the east.
I was stunned for more than ten seconds, and I felt that the tense nerves in my body were flicked hard by something, and then quickly returned to the original position, but then a chill gradually hit my heart.
The shadow wasn't mine, but I didn't know if they knew, so I shouted and rushed over.
The flashlight flickered around me, and the distance between me and the shadow was constantly narrowed, and he seemed to hear my voice, and was slowly lifting up, and slowly turned his head sideways to look at me.
Just as I was just a meter away from the shadow, I felt myself bang against the stone wall.
With a dizziness in my head, I struggled to hold myself down, and swayed to look at the location of the black shadow just now.
It was empty, except for the blood from my head, as if I had rushed over and hit the wall.
My head was buzzing, and when Dongfang and Liu Ran turned their heads, my flashlight hit them, and I saw a shadow on the ground, and that shadow was facing me sideways, as if it was heading towards the wall.
But looking at the shape of the shadow, there was no one around the shadow.
No, maybe it's not a human at all, it's the skeletons here, it's the souls of the dead, in this underground tomb, they don't know how long, they saw us today, and they all ran out.
"Ghosts, ghosts, ghosts, ghosts!" I screamed one after another, and for a moment, it was as if I heard a voice from my body that didn't belong to me.
It was as if the fear did not belong to me at all, but something in someone else's body that had reached me through spiritual power.
Suddenly, everything became strange, and it seemed that there were not just the three of us, but thirty-six pairs of eyes that were silently watching us
The pain and fear they once suffered were sealed in a confined space, and that kind of spiritual power permeated the air, and gradually fell into it as we continued to ingest.
Something was ringing in my ears, and I wanted to get out of here with my head in my hands, feeling that if I stayed here, my whole person would be turned into them by these sounds.
A strange and distant soul, they were about to descend upon me, and I closed my eyes and rejected it all.
At this moment, I was suddenly hugged by a man from behind, and it seemed to force another soul on me.
I struggled hard, shook the man behind me away, and once again rushed into the darkness in front of me.
But in the dark, there was no direction, I could only keep rushing forward, in order to get rid of the sound in my ears and the fear in my heart, until a white light shot from the front, shining straight into my pupils, I felt that the surrounding environment slowly faded, and the sound in my ears began to fade.
The center of gravity of my body also shifted at this point, and finally fell backwards, leaving me lying on the ground, losing all consciousness.
It became quiet in the dark, and I finally calmed down, remembering everything just now, as if it had happened to me in a different world, as if none of that had happened to me.
When I woke up in a daze, I felt some pain in my back, but when I reached out and touched it, I felt a bulge.
Seeing that I woke up, Dongfang next to me immediately asked me, "What happened just now, why did you suddenly become like that, as if you had become another person!" ”
I don't know what ...... going on, and everything I saw just now seems very unreal when I think about it, like something I saw in a fog.
"I don't know what's going on, but I feel like my mind is messed up, as if there's a lot of people around me arguing about something, like it's ...... The skeletons here are alive, and I can feel the pain they felt before they died. ”
After listening to this, Dongfang glanced at Liu Ran, and finally whispered, "Maybe you're right, there are more than just three of us here!" ”
As soon as my mind was freshened, when I heard him say this, I immediately became nervous again, and immediately asked questions.
It turned out that I was not the only one who had hallucinations just now, and they also found out in the East.
Let me go to the black shadow, in fact, it is also a countermeasure for them to observe secretly, because from that time, Dongfang also sensed as if there was some kind of force here that was preventing us from cutting through the stone wall.
Although this is just a feeling, it has to be said that this feeling came very suddenly, and it is more like an objective warning than a feeling.
After I left, Dongfang and Liu Ran stopped moving, and all their attention was focused on me.
Because I was holding a flashlight in my hand, it was obvious in the dark, and they followed me not far away, but as soon as I was halfway there, Liu Ran felt that something was wrong.
The flashlight in my hand was wrong, and the original snow-white light was gradually changing color.
Maybe it was because of the blood on the ground, but then they noticed that there was something crawling on my body.
Although they didn't dare to use the flashlight, they could vaguely see that the thing was hooked with a long barb, and there was a faint light on its body.
