Chapter 16: The Ghost

Now that there is no way out, the only way is to continue to enter the remaining secret passages, maybe in one of the dark passages can really let me find a way out, and now I can only comfort myself with this.

I picked up my backpack and randomly entered a dark passage, at this time I was a lot more relaxed, anyway, the way out was blocked, it is better to wait for death than to gamble, thinking, and the courage is also bigger.

On the stone wall on the side of the dark passage, there will be a small cave platform recessed into about every seven or eight meters, and there is an oil lamp on each cave platform, I shine with a flashlight, there is still oil in the oil lamp, I put my nose up and smell it, and found that the oil in the oil lamp is made of pine grease, I am very strange, this dark passage has a history of hundreds of years, why the oil in the oil lamp has not dried up?

I didn't think much of it, I took out the matches and lit all the oil lamps, and the secret passage was lit up at once. The dark passage stretched straight forward, and I lit the oil lamp on the stone wall as I walked, like a Yangguan avenue, and the road was smooth. Could it be that I'm really on the right track!

So I secretly rejoiced, glad that I finally chose a good path, and I will continue to walk on this momentum, maybe this road is the road to the underground building center that Lao Zhao once said!

I had been walking in the dark passage for more than an hour, and when I looked back at the road I had walked behind me, I saw that the entire dark passage was illuminated by oil lamps, and there was no end in sight.

I walked on, moving alone, and time passed slowly, without the monkeys chirping around, and there was no movement except for the sound of my rapid breathing!

As I walked forward, I looked around, fearing that I would miss any buttons and inscriptions on the fresco, but there was nothing left, except for the oil lamps on the stone wall.

At this moment, I seemed to feel a little inexplicable wrong, but I couldn't say what was wrong, and at the same time I felt a trace of fear welling up in my heart, I continued to take a few steps forward, and suddenly I suddenly realized.

I turned my head and looked at my shadow on the wall on one side of the tunnel, and I felt as if the shadow was not moving in line with mine! I took a few more steps forward, and suddenly I felt my hair stand on end, my back was cold, and my shadow on the wall suddenly became a rickety body, and limped forward with me, isn't this what was carved on the stone wall when we first entered the passageway? I thought it was very weird at the time, and now it's happening to me.

I looked at the black shadow on the wall, I couldn't believe it was my shadow, I ran forward again, only to see the shadow on the wall limping forward, following me like a zombie!

I was a little frightened, so I simply stopped lighting the oil lamp on the wall, I would rather be in the dark than dare to see my shadow again, even the flashlight I held it far in front of me with my hand and only looked straight ahead, so that my shadow would not appear again.

I continued to walk in the dark passage, I was walking and thinking about the black shadow on the wall just now, I really didn't know how to explain it, the more I thought about it, the more confused my heart became, and the more scared I became, even I felt that the black shadow was still staring at me on the wall, I looked back behind me as I walked, and the scenes from the horror movies I had seen before appeared in my mind one by one, and I was worried that there would be some demons behind me who were quietly following me.

I patted my head vigorously to try not to get cranky. I panicked and didn't know how long I walked, suddenly, I felt a sharp pain in my head, I seemed to hit something, I turned on the flashlight to see, the dark passage seemed to come to an end, in front of me was a stone wall, I didn't see clearly but hit it.

I took a closer look at this stone wall, and found that there seemed to be a stone door on the far right side of the stone wall, I took a closer look, and sure enough, it was a stone door more than one meter high, I wanted to push the stone door open, but I didn't expect that as soon as my hand touched it, the stone door opened by itself, could it be that this is still a door of induction!

I didn't think much about it, I immediately walked out of the stone gate, I used a flashlight to shine around, and found that this was an empty cave, I took a few steps forward, and felt like something like dirt under my feet, soft, I used a flashlight to illuminate it, it was all some gray fine powder, like flour, I don't know what it was, I looked at the ground as I walked, it was really strange, there was not even a stone on the ground here, it was all such a thick layer of flour-like things.

Suddenly, I noticed that there were many footprints on the ground not far away, and when I looked closer, I found that they were left by humans, and not only one person, and judging from the traces of the footprints, I judged that it should be a new mark that had just been left.

I wondered, could it be that someone had passed through here recently? Then I found another thing, on the ground not far from the footprints, a very long vine slowly squirmed forward on the ground, I took a closer look, and found that it was actually the navigation rope that Lao Zhao connected with the tree vine, how could this thing appear here!

I found out that this vine was missing in the stone chamber before, why did it appear here? Could it be that Lao Zhao and the others haven't gone out yet, and they are just ahead? But where did Lao Zhao come here, didn't the sarcophagus in the stone room seal them up? All kinds of questions came to my mind for a while, and I saw that the vines in front of me continued to squirm forward, and it seemed that I should be being led forward. So I followed the direction of the vines.

The vines stretched all the way on, and although the ground here had a thick layer of flour-like things, it was not completely flat, and there were some small undulations, like small hills in the desert. When I turned over a raised piece of ground, I seemed to see three figures not far in front of me, and when I looked closely, I found that it was Lao Zhao, Monkey and Kuroko!
