Chapter 35: Whose Hand Is This?
The moment the door of the room opened, the blood-sucking mosquito extinguished the kerosene lamp in his hand, placed the lamp on the ground at the door, and then walked into the room with his head held high. He was joined by the two gatekeepers, who prophetically lit two candles the moment the kerosene lamps went out. The two long red candles, like rainbows out of thin air after the rain, appeared in their hands so suddenly.
They held the candle high, and the light flickered and danced, barely illuminating the way to the door. After seeing the blood-sucking mosquito enter, Yuan looked back at me and followed, and then walked in the forest. He had been silent since he knew he had been tested, and he seemed to be in a bad mood all the time, and he didn't look back at me when he walked into the room, which made people's hearts go up.
When it was my turn to enter, it was just me and the two gatekeepers outside the door, and as I passed by them, my nose smelled the strange smell of blood, exactly the same as the smell of blood-sucking mosquitoes and the lady of the dessert shop. It's just that the smell of blood on these two gatekeepers is very faint, and it is wafting like nothing, and if you don't pay attention to it, you will miss it.
The room seemed to be quiet, I couldn't hear the people talking or the noise inside, and at the last moment I stepped into the door, I turned around curiously and looked back, which almost scared my soul. Behind us, the two gatekeepers with long red candles were grinning in horror with black lipstick, laughing silently at everyone's backs.
Their bodies and heads were crooked at 45 degrees, one arm holding a red candle aloft and the other arm without a candle seemed to be broken, the joints were strangely extended, and five fingers twisted to point at us, like two zombies that had just crawled out of the dirt. When they saw me turn around, they immediately stopped laughing and writhing weirdly, and almost with lightning speed, they returned to the serious appearance they had when they first met, making people suspect that the scene they had just seen was just their own hallucination. Seeing this change, I hurriedly turned my head, my heart pounding violently, and when they writhed just now, I clearly saw that there was also a strange tattoo on the other person's neck. The color and pattern are exactly the same as those on the bloodsucking mosquitoes.
The sudden fear sent chills down my back, and I hurried to the house, crashing into Lin Suo. So, I subconsciously grabbed his clothes, leaned against his back, pushed him quickly, and squeezed into the quiet room. After walking a few steps, I could clearly feel two pairs of eyes staring at my body behind me, and those gazes were like icicles stuck to my body, except that I felt chills and cold.
The light shining on the ground from the two red candles in the gatekeeper's hand moved and moved again in a very strange way, as if dancing a summoning ritual that beckoned me to look back. The reason in his heart made him hold back his curiosity, and his hand tightly tugged at Lin Suo's clothes and squeezed into the door. Bang, there was finally a muffled sound behind him, the door closed completely, and the inexplicable sense of fear came to an abrupt end. But at the same time, darkness enveloped everything, and with it came a strange aroma mixed with a faint smell of blood, and the hot and unventilated air that belonged to the basement.
The surroundings were quiet, and I was very nervous in the dark, and suddenly, there were many people in the darkness who said "ah~um" in unison. This voice sounded three times in a row, making the already frightened self even more at a loss. It was pitch black in the room, I couldn't see anything clearly, I didn't know how many people were around me, where they were, and what kind of situation they were facing. I wanted to find someone else, but I didn't dare to speak rashly, because after three "ah~hmm", there was silence all around, and the unknown fear brought by the dark space gave me goosebumps.
The only thing that still makes people feel solid is the hand that Lin grabbed me, if he hadn't just reached out and grabbed himself, those three "ah~um" would have made me scream loudly and run for my life in all directions. From the moment he squeezed through the door and desperately dragged his clothes, the nameless fear filled his heart, making people want to run and run away all the time. And Lin Suo's indifferent silence is even more maddening, I thought that he would never have hope for me again, or full of kindness, but I didn't expect that in such a dark room, he was willing to stretch out a hand to grab me, so good!
I held the hand, my heart filled with gratitude, but in the silence, I felt more and more that something was wrong. This hand is delicate, dry, and cold, like holding a smooth and lifeless stone, could it really be Lin Suo's hand? Are you sure this hand belongs to Lin Qihan? It's like installing a subtitle in my mind, and suddenly such a sentence pops up, which makes people tremble with fright instantly.
In the dark, the more I thought about it, the more scared I became, and my heart became more and more flustered.
"Xiaolou, Xiaolou, wake up! What happened to you? Wake up! ”
The familiar magnetic voice of the forest was heard in my ears, and I looked up, and my vision gradually became clearer. I saw myself leaning against the body of the forest, and the pair of men and women not far in front of me were blood-sucking mosquitoes and sources, and they were walking side by side affectionately, without noticing anything strange about us behind us.
If I remember correctly, turn right and then turn left, at most 200 meters is the No. 4 girls' dormitory building, and it is still early, it is clear that we have just arrived at the school gate not long after.
"What's going on? Where are we, where are we? Why is it still outside the dormitory? ”
Looking at the forest next to me, I was confused, what is the situation now? Haven't you all walked into that dark room? Why is it outside the No. 4 Girls' Dormitory again? What's in that room? At this moment, the jade necklace I wore around my neck was also cold and oozing, as if I had covered a piece of thousand-year-old ice on my warm chest, which made people feel uncomfortable.
"You fainted as soon as you spoke, did you see something?" Lin Suo asked me anxiously, but his eyes looked away.
"You mean we didn't get into that room?"
His words made me even more confused, what is going on? I looked at Lin Suo and wanted to ask for an understanding, but I was surprised to find that he turned his head away, not wanting to look me in the eye at all. When did Lin become so shy? He has always been a very confident man, he never avoids his gaze when he looks at others, and he does not have that familiar fragrance on him. Maybe, maybe the person in front of you is not Lin Suo at all!
