Chapter 22

The sound of the breaking of the wooden board made my scalp explode, and my bald head was instantly frozen in place, and my whole face turned green directly!

At this moment, the air instantly froze, and when the echo disappeared, the surrounding area immediately returned to the previous dead silence. The three of them held their breath at the same time, pressed the bright flashlight above their heads as quickly as possible, and then hid in the dark and waited quietly.

A few minutes passed, and there was no sound from below, as if the crisp sound just now had not attracted the attention of the ghosts. The bald head whispered in the darkness, "What's the situation, did you see clearly just now, are those black balls below ghosts or statues?" ”

I frowned, "I didn't see it too clearly, but the things were in an orderly position, one by one, side by side." The ghost people shouldn't be so orderly, maybe they were too nervous to see it wrong, and there were just a few statues below. ”

Bones responded, "No, not a statue." I could see clearly just now, it was the ghosts, they knelt on the ground as if they were asleep, and they were panting! Don't you smell it, the fishy smell is the strongest here! ”

The three of them whispered a few words, and in the end, no one could tell what they had just seen. The bald head sighed heavily: "It's been like this for a long time, no matter whether those things are dead or alive, they definitely haven't found us, and if you take a closer look, you will know what it is!" With that, he stood up again, lit the bright flashlight on his head, leaned over to the side of the platform and looked down again.

This time, with mental preparation, we can all see clearly that the bones are right. The black balls in the main hall were indeed the ghosts they had encountered in the village before, but now they didn't look as fierce as before, and they knelt on the ground one by one with their heads slightly lowered. Put your hands in front of you and keep your eyes closed, as if you were asleep. Standing at a high angle and looking down, they look like black bears in a hibernation state. ”

We were lying on the platform and watching, and Rum also poked out half of his head to look underneath, and when he saw the ghosts, he immediately took a few steps back, and then bit down on the trouser leg of the bone next to him, and pulled it back hard.

Bones reached out and touched Rum's head, and whispered, "Don't worry, these beasts are asleep and won't notice us." ”

But Rum didn't seem to hear it, he bit his trouser leg and still pulled it back, and after a few tuggings and found no response, he turned his head and bit my trouser leg again, and began to drag it back as well.

I frowned and looked at the bones, "Rum's state doesn't seem to be quite right, did it find something?" As they spoke, the three of them continued to look down, and found that the ghosts below were sleeping soundly one by one, and there was nothing abnormal.

Just as I was wondering what was going on with Rum, I heard another 'rattle' of a wooden board breaking not far behind! “

This time the noise was louder and louder, but it was also very noticeable in the dead hall. The hairs of several people stood up at once, the planks would not break on their own, and we were all standing together, and this sound could only mean that something was following us and walking onto the platform!

Thinking of this, I turned my head directly to look behind me, and with the help of the bright flashlight, I saw a huge black shadow leaning on its back, walking up the steps to the platform, approaching our location step by step.

It was a ghost man, no more than ten meters away from us, and its eyes were green when the flashlight flashed!

The bald head immediately picked up the sapper shovel in his hand, and was about to have a seizure but suddenly stopped, did not speak, but made a gesture with one hand to ask: "This thing is walking very slowly, has it not found us yet?" ”

I also looked closely, and found that such a dazzling bright light shone directly on the ghost man's eyes, and it didn't even dodge or react, and it didn't even blink its eyelids. Just raise your head slightly, stick your nose and walk forward, as if using your sense of smell to find a target!

After a quick mental analysis and a look at my surroundings, I had a bold conjecture. That is, these ghosts have lived in dark caves for a long time, and they have become like those night creatures, their vision has completely deteriorated, and their sense of hearing and smell has become more sensitive. That's why they hide in caves and sleep during the day, and go out at night after dark to forage for food and harm people.

The bald head must have woken up this ghost man just now, it couldn't see the light of our flashlight, but it could vaguely smell the scent of a few people, so it chased after the smell all the way.

However, as the bones said, because there are too many ghosts in this hall, the fishy smell has been strong to a certain extent, and even if we are in it, our own smell has been washed away a lot, so the ghost will not be able to find the target, and use the only remaining smell to slowly grope for it.

Sensing the ghost's lack of vision, I touched the remaining half of the bag of pastries in my arms, gently took it out and placed it in the middle of the platform, then made a 'forward' gesture and crept back deeper into the platform with the others.

The rest of the journey was slow and careful, and even Rum retracted his paws and walked slowly against the wall.

The three of them walked more than ten meters inside, and the ghost man also came to the place where the few people had stood before, stopped looking for the fragrance of the pastries, lowered his head and sniffed, opened his mouth and ate all three pieces of pastries in two bites.

These three small pastries were certainly not enough for its appetite, and when it tasted the sweetness, the ghost man thought that there was something in front of him, and instead of turning and retreating, he quickened his speed and walked forward to find it.

The platforms on both sides of the entire hall are only about twenty meters long from front to back, and at the end is a closed cul-de-sac with no direct steps leading down. If you want to go down from the platform, you either have to go back the way you came and take the steps, or you can jump directly, six or seven meters high, and it is unknown what you can fall into......

Soon the three of them came to the end, leaning against the edge of the platform and stopping. The bald head gave me a look, gesturing and asking, "What now, it or jump?" ”

I shook my head and replied with a gesture: "I don't know, if you do it, you will definitely be discovered by more ghosts down there." Jumping down will also wake up those ghosts. Wait, be a little patient! ”

Seeing this gesture, the bald head frowned, and couldn't help but whisper: "I'm rubbing, the first time I heard that 'waiting for death' requires patience, Lao Zhang, you are also a talent......

This sentence was said very lightly, so light that there was almost no sound, but even so, the ghost man on the other side was still aware of it, and his raised head was immediately put down, and then the fierce light on his hideous face was revealed, and he walked a few steps towards us, and when he came closer, he seemed to smell the smell of human flesh on several people, opened his mouth wide and bared his fangs, and that kind of murderous appearance was suddenly revealed!

The bald head held the sapper shovel tightly, and was ready to fight to the death in the face of the ghost man who was close at hand, and when it opened its mouth to roar, it violently lifted the sapper shovel into the air, aimed at the ghost man's neck and was about to split down, but saw that the ghost man's body was weak, and then he collapsed on the ground and did not react......

Holding the sapper shovel for a long time, he looked at the ghost man in front of him with a confused face and muttered: "What the fuck...... This brute...... Let the bald man be scared to death!? ……”
