Chapter 36: The Black Candle
"Xiaolou, Xiaolou, Xiaolou, wake up! Don't fall asleep anymore and listen to every word I say. There is something strange in this room, and I have been silently reciting the three words "tooth pro" in my heart, and then put all my thoughts on the jade necklace I am wearing, feeling the cold feeling of the necklace, stabilizing my heart, don't think nonsense! ”
The magnetic voice of the woods rang in my ears again, and my eyes seemed to see him approaching me in the darkness, and then at once he dragged me out onto the main road outside the house. He was tossing himself back and forth, talking to himself, this kind of repetition made his brain so confused that he couldn't tell if the Lin Suo he saw was the real Lin Qihan, and he didn't dare to believe what he said.
In a trance, I felt that a mysterious light was inexplicably projected onto my body, and my eyes fell into darkness, but in less than a second, there was a light in front of me. The rapid alternation of light made the whole person start to spin at high speed, and my body seemed to be pulled by two forces, constantly shuttling between the bright main road outside the house or the dark environment inside the house.
He stretched out his hand to grab an object that could stop his body and rotate, but the speed of his rotation became faster and faster, so fast that everything he saw was fluttering, and the next second it seemed to be rubbing against fire. The speed was beyond my limits, my stomach was churning, I wanted to vomit in disgust, and my brain was about to explode.
"Xiaolou, Xiaolou, you must believe me, read those three words quickly, and feel the coldness of your jade necklace! Hurry up! Hurry up! Lin's anxious voice sounded in my ears again, and this time I smelled his peculiar scent, and the familiar smell calmed my heart. Soon, the body felt the unique coldness of the jade necklace, which was like a sudden brake, which actually stopped the scene in front of him from constantly changing, and also slowed down the speed of light changes, allowing people to get out of a kind of madness.
However, my head was still dizzy, and I began to recite in my heart, the three words that Lin Suo had told me, and according to what he said, I put all my thoughts on the cold feeling of feeling. Gradually, as my body felt more and more coldness, the vision in front of me became clearer and clearer, and the maddening anxiety subsided.
When I could see it completely, I realized that we were standing in a large room, surrounded by what seemed to be a lot of people, and it seemed to be all black walls. His eyes struggled to adjust to the light in the room, and his mind became more focused on the coldness, trying to wake himself up.
At this moment, there was a sudden light in the middle of the room, and the intensity of the light became more and more intense, and finally I could see what was in front of me clearly. There sat a circle of men in black cloaks, and I counted them roughly, and there were about twelve of them. In front of each of them was a black candle with a length of about five or six centimeters, and an unusual blue flame was burning on their heads. Their posture was like meditation in yoga, and all of them had their heads tilted back slightly, and the black capes and hats on their bodies were pulled up, covering each head tightly. These people looked particularly mysterious and solemn under the reflection of the faint flames of jumping and jumping.
They sat in a very small and tight circle, like a thick round wall of human flesh in the center of the room, and the candlelight leaking through the cracks in the crowd became so faint that the people standing outside the circle could not see whether they were men or women. I craned my neck and stretched my body, trying to see more of the room, but failed. This light plunges the room into a dreamlike feel, and it is impossible to tell whether it is the wall or the entire black cloth that is black all around.
However, to my surprise, my nose is particularly sensitive in this dim light. Just as he craned his neck to look forward, he noticed that when he entered the door, he smelled a strange scent mixed with blood, which wafted from the black candle in front of these people. After taking a breath of that strange fragrance, all kinds of emotions and anxiety churned all over my body, and my vision finally became clear again.
I hurriedly recited three words in my heart, trying my best to restrain the reappearance of crankiness, and when the jade necklace around my neck once again conveyed a sense of coldness, the sight and head of the short film were clear again, and I saw that the blood-sucking mosquito was pulling the source towards the darkness on the other side of the room. The dark shadow over there made my heart furnish for no reason, as if there was a monster standing there with a wide open mouth.
He desperately tried to shout at Sumito to tell her not to go there, but he couldn't make a sound in his throat. I tried to run over and reach out to grab the source, but I also found that my body was so weak that I couldn't lift my arms, so I could only barely stand still, keeping my brain running, and then watched the blood-sucking mosquito lead the source and disappear into the darkness.
"Xiaolou, don't move, something is wrong here, the room is weird, protect yourself first with safety!"
Hearing Lin Suo's words, I wanted to tell him that there was something wrong with the black candle in the house, but I couldn't make a sound in my throat. Fortunately, Lin Suo's body leaned over, and he hugged himself with one arm and dragged me tightly to him. Why is Lin so okay? Why can't I even move? Is he really Lin Suo?
My heart was full of doubts, and the anxiety slowly appeared in my mind, and my vision became a little blurry. I immediately understood that there might be something disturbing in those strange scents, and once the mind was controlled by it, it would be cranky and restless. Although I can't even do something as simple as turning my neck now, my mind can still think normally, which shows that the method that Lin told me is effective, and he should be the real Lin Qihan.
"Ah~hmm" The twelve people suddenly shouted in unison, my thoughts were interrupted by them, and my whole body moved as if I had been freed from confinement. At the same time, I saw the black candle in front of them, and the whole room was lit up by this blue light, and I finally saw the layout of this room.
This room is about 4,050 square meters, and I don't know if it's a black wall or a black cloth around it, and I can't see a single window anyway. The height of the room was very high, about four meters, but the roof was bare, and there was not a single lamp. There was no furnishings in the room, it looked square and empty, and there was no furniture, but the room was full of people. These people were of different colors, ages, genders, and wore clothes of various colors and styles, but the posture of this group of people was exactly the same as that of the twelve people in the center of the room.
