Chapter 15: Whispers in the Dark
The altar made of white marble bricks, for some reason, trembled abruptly, and at the place where the bricks were connected to each other, there were also black cracks, which seemed to be about to crack.
Before I could shout that sentence, Chen Qiuyan jumped down with a rat in her arms.
Qin Bing's reaction was not slow, it was almost the difference between the front foot and the back foot, and they ran straight towards me.
When Chen Qiuyan ran to my side, the Dharma platform also collapsed into ruins with a loud bang.
Seeing this scene, everyone looked a little frightened, and their already pale faces were much more ugly at this time.
"Collapse...... collapsed ......." Lin Shanshan muttered, trembling, and hugged Bai Xiaoping's arm tightly: "That monster didn't touch the Fatai...... Why did it collapse all of a sudden........"
"Maybe it collapsed because we uncovered the top and destroyed its overall structure." Qin Bing looked calmer, looked back at the ruins, and frowned: "But I feel ...... It seemed to be moving. ”
"It's not your feelings, it's the facts."
I sighed, grabbed Chen Qiuyan, blocked her behind me, and stared at the ruins cautiously, my heart beating faster.
"When I went in, the Dharma platform became wrong, and the copper plate under it was also jumping, and the Dharma platform at that time was like a bottle, constantly being shaken by people.......
Speaking of this, I frowned and thought about it, and glanced at Qin Bing: "Let's go over and have a look, and the others will stay here and help us cover." ”
"Okay." Qin Bing nodded, but he didn't flinch, he simply held the muzzle of the gun and followed me over.
Standing in front of the ruins, I looked left and right, determined the location of the copper plate inside the Dharma platform, and then took the Qin soldiers to start planing, one on the left and one on the right, and planed all the white marble bricks to the side.
Soon, the copper plate at the bottom, hidden in the altar, was dug out for us.
Unlike before, the four sides of this copper plate have been warped, and if you step on it lightly with your foot, you can hear the sound of the iron sheet clattering.
Qin Bing looked at me, and when he saw me nodding, he accompanied me and grabbed the side of the copper plate and slowly lifted it up.
With a muffled sound, the copper plate completely overturned us, and the big hole under the copper plate also came into our eyes in an instant.
At this time, Chen Qiuyan and the others had already run over, and they all rushed to the edge of the hole, shaking it with a flashlight, as if they were very curious about the situation under the hole.
"The hole is vertical, the drop is about two meters, and there is a platform below....... Qin Bing squatted on the ground, observing the situation under the cave entrance very carefully, and said without raising his head: "It seems to be built artificially, and it is all made of bluestone bricks." ”
"Go down and have a look?" Chen Qiuyan asked me.
"I'll go down alone, and you will keep watch outside, lest anyone raid the nest." I smiled and pretended to be relaxed and said, "You can rest assured that you are guarding me at the entrance of the cave, otherwise I will not feel safe on the way back." ”
To be honest, when I saw this kind of cave, I really didn't want to go down, and even if I had to go down, I had to make sure that there was someone guarding the entrance.
If we all go down, the old people will sneak over and seal the entrance of the cave, not to mention whether they will throw some poison gas into it in a frenzy, even if they seal the hole with cement, I can't stand it.
Although I am not afraid of death, I am still afraid of being imprisoned, especially the kind of place where I am imprisoned in the dark and cannot return to the outside world.......
"Chubby, you're here with them." I said, "It's not right, just run away with them, and leave me alone." ”
The rat squeaked twice and nodded to show that it understood.
Chen Qiuyan told me to be careful, and she was not pretentious, and retreated to the side with the rat, looking at me with some concern.
"The old cult is coming, and I'll give you a signal." Qin Bing said, pointing to the headphones on his ears: "Be careful." ”
I smiled, lit a cigarette and took two puffs, kind of emboldening myself.
Looking down from the hole, I really didn't see anything dangerous, at least there were no traps on the surface, everything looked normal.
Below is a bluestone brick floor, looking at the color and texture, it should be a certain number of years, not like it was built by later generations.
After a moment's observation, I didn't hesitate any longer, took a gentle step forward, and fell vertically from the hole.
The difference from the hole to the ground was only about two meters, and soon I felt my feet touching the ground.
"How??" Qin Bing lay down at the entrance of the cave, shook his flashlight, and asked me loudly, "Is there an enemy down there?" ”
I didn't squeak, I took the flashlight and shook it around, shook my head and said, there are no enemies, this place seems to be a tunnel.
At this moment, I am at the end of this tunnel.
The scale of the tunnel is not small, the position I stand in the middle, there are two meters wide on the left and right, and I shake forward with a flashlight, it is black, and I can't see the end at a glance.
My intuition tells me that this place is not safe, and it is not the kind of insecurity for ordinary people, but including me, even if I am protected by a physical body, I will still be in danger, this is what the sixth sense told me.
I don't know what's ahead of me, and I don't know why those old sect gentlemen built the Dharma platform at the end of this tunnel, I just think....... Dangerous.
But I don't know why, maybe it's because my brain is not enough, and I'm a little stunned at this time.
Even though it felt dangerous to me, I wanted to walk forward and see what lay ahead.
That indescribable curiosity is like turning into a kitten, constantly scratching and itching in my heart.
"I'll go check it out! You guys are outside and tell me through the walkie-talkie if there's a situation! ”
Hearing my words, Qin Bing and the others all nodded.
"Good! Be careful yourself! ”
I waved my hand and walked forward boldly, curious and weak-hearted.
In this scalp-tingling situation, my heart rate has never slowed down, and the speed of smoking has become uncontrollably faster.
But half a minute, just after the cigarette in my mouth, I was left with only the butt of the cigarette.
Although I don't have a big addiction to smoking, I can't help but order another one at this time.
"Sacrifice...... ...... Lafutesa
Suddenly, a sudden whisper came from me without warning.
I subconsciously turned my head and shone my flashlight on it, but everything I saw was still an empty scene, and there was no one there at all.
But what makes me panic in my heart is ...... The whispers didn't stop....... Instead, it's getting closer and closer to me....... It's like someone is right next to my ear...... Whispering.......
The one who spoke seemed to be a man, listening to his voice, he seemed to be a middle-aged man, with a smell of smoke, and his voice was very low.
He said Chinese, it should be, at least I can understand.
I don't know what it means, and it sounds a bit like English, but I think it's ...... He's using Chinese to say something I don't understand...... That's all.......
His whispering never stopped, ringing in my ears all the time, and it seemed to be divided into two people, one left and one right, whispering in my ear.
Maybe I was dizzy by the sounds, and my head was a little heavy, as if I had been sleeping for too long, and I had just woken up, and my head was not getting enough oxygen.
I rubbed my temples, turned on the headset, and asked the person on the other side of the intercom, did you hear anything?
Qin Bing on the other side of the walkie-talkie said that he didn't hear it, and so did Chen Qiuyan, they all said they didn't hear it, and there was no sound.
I knew I wasn't misheard, but I couldn't tell if the sounds I was hearing were real or if I was hallucinating again.
The whispers, sounding staccato and incoherent between the words, were not at all coherent, as if I didn't hear the conjunctions in between them as they spoke.
I'm a little confused, so I can only vaguely remember some of the words they say, the whispers, and I can't remember the rest, and I forget it as soon as I hear it, which is no exaggeration.
Most of the whispers are separate words.
Sacrifice, black robes, faceless, and the ....... that sounded like English
"Lafutessa."
