CHAPTER XLVI

My heart suddenly hung in my throat, and I didn't care about the momentum, poked my head out of the giant bird that was about to rush down, and held the gun tightly in my hand, which was no longer bullets, and took a few steps back uneasily. Hu San didn't even look at us with different expressions, and pushed with all his strength, and the smell of dust mixed with a faint smell came to his nose.

Wang Zhen held the gun in one hand, and turned on the flashlight with the other hand to shine it in. Curious and nervous, I craned my neck slightly, and saw that it was empty, the floor was covered with thick dust, and the narrow and dilapidated staircase was hidden in the deepest part, which looked very much like a ghost building with a bloody mouth.

Uncle Lu frowned and muttered, "Why is there nothing in it, won't all the good things be upstairs......"

Zhang Siyuan, who had been squinting his eyes and looking vigilantly, suddenly raised his hand to interrupt his words, he reversed his previous hippie smile, his expression was extremely serious, and he pointed to the tattered staircase and said: "There are several footprints on the side of the stairs and on the steps. ”

Hu San frowned and took a closer look, then raised his foot and stepped in, and Uncle Lu followed him and broke in. Although I was very reluctant, I was very worried about their safety, so I reluctantly pulled Zhang Siyuan, who was staying still, and several people stepped in together.

As soon as I landed on my feet, I felt that the soles of my feet were soft, and when I looked down, there were many thick and long hairs mixed with the thick dust, and unknown small insects slipped past my feet. Wang Zhen grabbed a huge spider from the spider web on the corner of the wall, and said in amazement: "This kind of ghost place can still support spiders, and its vitality is very tenacious." ”

I looked into the empty room, and my nerves tensed involuntarily. Hu San walked straight to the top of the stairs, stared at the messy footprints on the ground and said, "It looks like two men have been here." ”

Wang Zhen bit his lip, rolled his eyes and looked at the dilapidated staircase and a few footprints on it that he didn't know who belonged to him, and said strangely: "Such a short building, why is the staircase designed to be spiral?" ”

He didn't wait for us to answer, he walked up the stairs on his own, and the old staircase let out a heart-stopping moan, and the dust was floating up and tickling my nose. Wang Linshuo turned out the last detonator, and was about to hand it to him, but he heard a slight strange sound behind him.

I was horrified, and I turned my head sharply, and Katsuko sat down in the dust, pointing to the front and unable to speak.

Hu San pushed me away roughly, rushed to the place where it was originally the door, and desperately knocked on the gray-black wall tiles like crazy, buckling and breaking and pushing, but he couldn't find a crack at all. The wall was so tightly blocked that it was like there was no door in the first place.

My scalp was numb, my blood was cold, my legs were shaking uncontrollably, and I looked behind me in despair, staring at us expressionlessly on the airtight wall. Uncle Lu and Wang Zhen kicked and pushed, Wang Linshuo took out the last detonator and gritted his teeth. Just as everyone was shocked and angry, and they were deadlocked, they suddenly heard a burst of crying in the darkness.

The cry was so sharp that I almost fell to the ground in fright, Zhang Siyuan jumped up like a frightened rabbit, and several flashlights were aimed at the figure curled up in the corner.

Zhang Siyuan scolded, and helplessly said to Shengzi, who kept shrugging his shoulders: "Why are you so surprised, so many people are here, what's so scary?" ”

Katsuko wiped away her tears, blushed and didn't speak, presumably feeling embarrassed herself. I suddenly remembered Li Qingling, she was like this before the heart said, she cried at every turn, it seems that Shengzi still has too little experience.

Wang Linshuo thought about it and said, "We won't touch any mechanism, why don't you stand on the stairs and try it again?" ”

Wang Zhen, who was smoking against the wall on the side, was just about to take a step, but the wall suddenly shook slightly. His eyes widened and he exclaimed, "I haven't stood yet......"

Before he could finish his sentence, there was a sudden sound of sharp claws scraping from behind the wall, followed by a raindown of pecks and crashes. Wang Linshuo motioned for us to be quiet, and said in a breathless voice, "What's wrong with the giant bird?" ”

Zhang Siyuan and I looked at each other in horror and shook our heads. The birds slammed and scratched more and more frequently, the walls let out a terrifying moan, and spiders and dust fell to the ground.

I'm worried that the giant bird will knock the building down, but I vaguely hope that it will allow us to escape this haunted house. Wang Zhen looked worried, wiped the dust that kept falling on his face, and said, "Why did it suddenly go crazy?" ”

Uncle Lu shook his head, pulled the bolt of the gun, stared at the constantly trembling wall, and his eyes were filled with murderous aura: "If it dares to come, I will spend both of its wings." ”

I took a deep breath and took a few steps back, and suddenly a terrible scream erupted from behind the wall, followed by the sound of flapping wings. I glanced at Zhang Siyuan incomprehensibly, and he frowned and muttered, "What's the matter, this is self-harming?" ”

Before I could reply, the wall shook violently, and a terrible hellish scream I had never heard before exploded behind the wall with the sound of fighting and struggle. The bird's cry was so high and high that it gave me goosebumps, followed by the sound of blood splattering on it and the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground from behind the wall.

The chill crept up my spine, and Hu San's face was as cloudy as the sky before a rainstorm. There was a chill in his voice, and he whispered, "It seems that something has killed the giant bird." ”

My scalp was numb, and I subconsciously took a few steps back, Zhang Siyuan's expression was stiff, and he muttered: "What can not deal with the seven of us, enough to kill a strange bird three years old......"

Everyone's faces were not bloody in the white light of the flashlight, like the faces of dead people. Wang Zhen pretended to be calm, and squeezed out an ugly smile: "It's okay, at least we still have this wall to protect it, it shouldn't collapse." ”

No one spoke, and there was silence in the darkness, except for the sound of rapid breathing and heartbeat proving that they hadn't gone away. I bit my lip and looked at the strong wall, and I didn't dare to come out, listening intently to the movement behind the wall.

I don't know how long it took, Zhang Siyuan suddenly burst out of a sentence: "I didn't hear any sound, is it gone?" ”

Uncle Lu nodded with a pale face: "Maybe, let's leave this alone for now, and hurry up to the stairs to decide whether to go up to the second floor to explore." ”

I know that his heart is turbulent at the moment, and I just say this to divert the topic and relieve the panic in my heart. In the silence, I didn't hear the slightest movement of the thing, nor did I hear footsteps, and it was probably still standing quietly behind the wall waiting for something.

The group pressed their steps and tiptoed to the top of the stairs. Wang Zhen swept around with a flashlight, and suddenly his body tensed like an arrow about to be fired, and the expression on his face instantly became very surprised. He opened his mouth wide in horror and pointed to the stairs and shouted, "Why are the footprints gone!" ”

I hurriedly looked up the steps, and a few large footprints that had been imprinted in the dust had disappeared without a trace. My cold sweat oozed out instantly, my scalp was tight and numb, my brain was wrinkled, I pinched my arm in disbelief, wiped my eyes and looked again, and the footprints seemed to evaporate in the air.

Uncle Lu turned around and looked around, seeing that there were no other weird things around except for this, he took a deep breath, wiped his sweat and said, "It's not something to be afraid of, let's go up." ”

Zhang Siyuan glanced at the narrow, dark staircase with some fear, gritted his teeth and followed behind Wang Zhen. I nervously walked around the corner of the stairs, but Zhang Siyuan in front of me suddenly stopped, and Wang Zhen let out a low breath.

My heart trembled, and I stood on tiptoe and poked my head out to see a pitch-black corpse lying on its stomach behind the corner of the stairs.

Zhang Siyuan gasped, turned his head and stretched out his arm to pat Uncle Lu: "Come over and see if you recognize this person, he can't be in the fake archaeological team, right?" ”

Uncle Lu looked serious and pushed me away to the front. He took the cane handed by Hu San, pinched his nose and carefully turned the body over. A completely unfamiliar face came into my eyes, Uncle Lu's face drooped down, and Zhang Siyuan, who had been squinting his eyes, suddenly sighed in surprise and exclaimed, "This is a woman." ”

I raised my eyebrows and took a closer look, and sure enough, I could make out some feminine femininity in my swollen and blackened face. The corpse's clothes were so tattered that they were unrecognizable, with rotting wounds and blackened skin peeking out from under strips of rags. I sighed, and Zhang Siyuan said in a low voice: "I don't know what kind of person this beauty was when she was alive...... However, after her death, the shape of her waist and thighs was still perfect, which can be reminiscent of her graceful posture when she was young, but it's a pity. ”

Uncle Lu's face was gloomy, his lips were tightly closed, his eyes were a little red, and he didn't care about the dust and dirty blood, he stepped forward and gently closed her round eyes. I looked at Hu San again, and saw that his mood was also extremely low, clenching his fingers and not saying a word, knowing that this woman must have a good relationship with them, so I shut up and stopped asking about her identity.
