Chapter 215: The Fear of the Unknown
Li Zhisheng, who was in front of this "person" I was holding, saw that I was silent for a long time, so he asked: "What's wrong, why don't you speak, is it ......?"
He just wanted me to ask if I had found something, but at this moment, a cold light suddenly flashed behind me, and I heard a "whoosh", and a sharp and crimson arrow galloped past me, directly hitting the "person" I was holding on the side, and then, listening to the strange cry of the "person" next to me, he broke free from my hand and disappeared into the darkness.

Li Zhisheng was startled by this sudden cry, and he shouted at me in a panic: "Shen, Shen Xu? What happened to you?! "In the dark, he couldn't see me, so he could only reach out and fumble around......
"I'm fine, there seems to be a ghost behind you just now, and we didn't ......notice it," I said, looking around behind me, it was pitch black behind me, and I couldn't see my fingers, so I shouted: "Yaolong? Are you there?! ”
As soon as the words fell, I heard Yaolong's voice behind him: "It's me, are you all right......" As he spoke, he walked to our side.
"Yaolong, why are you here?" At this time, Li Zhisheng's hand had already touched my clothes, and he stood beside me and asked.
But Yaolong didn't answer directly, but lowered his voice and said vigilantly: "That thing was too close to you just now, I didn't dare to make a heavy hand, so I let it run, and now it's by our side, be careful!" ”
Saying be careful, I saw a beam of red light in Yaolong's hand, and then an arrow came out of his hand, and the crimson light cut through the darkness, like a red beam of light flying straight forward.
In the blink of an eye, the arrow hits the target, blooming in a rose-like brilliant color. Just as a howl was heard, the target that had been hit seemed to have been completely wiped out.
At this time, Yaolong felt a little relieved, and he explained to us: "Mr. Death said that I don't worry about you, so I must come to help you no matter what, it seems that I really came to the right place." ”
After listening to this, I couldn't help but sigh in my heart that the Dead Apostles were indeed better than us in terms of crisis perception.
After Yaolong finished speaking, he continued to ask, "How are you doing, have you found any relevant clues?" ”
I shook my head and said, "No, the gate of the cemetery is locked, and we are trying to find a way to get into the cemetery." ”
"Alright, you keep looking, I'll protect you behind you." As he spoke, he heard Yaolong's voice leave us.
I was puzzled, so I hurriedly stopped him and said, "Yaolong, aren't you going with us?" ”
He chuckled and said, "I'm used to being alone, I used to be alone on missions, and having more people will affect my judgment, so I'll protect you alone behind you." ”
As he spoke, he listened to his footsteps go farther and farther, and in a moment he completely disappeared into the darkness.
And I looked at the seemingly endless darkness in front of me, and thought to myself, "I said I was looking for it, but now this black light is blinding, and I can't see the entrance even if it is in front of me, how can I find it......?"
At a loss, Li Zhisheng said: "Now that we know that Yaolong is behind us, we don't have to worry about anything, we can find the entrance by touching the wall all the way." ”
"Huge cemetery, do you know how long this wall is? I'm afraid my hands are worn out and I haven't touched the entrance yet......" I said.
"Is there anything better you can do in the current situation? We're not bats, we don't have sonar, and we're like blind people without our lighting, and we have no choice but to rely on our sense of touch. ”
After listening to Li Zhisheng, I suddenly remembered that there seemed to be something on my body that could be illuminated. "By the way, I still have a lighter...... " I said, rummaging through my body.
"I also bought a lighter when I bought cigarettes yesterday, how did I forget about it." I said as I pulled out an old-fashioned flint lighter from my jacket pocket.
As a burst of sparks flashed, a burst of orange flames erupted from the lighter, and although the flames were small, they were exceptionally bright in the darkness where they could not be seen.
I held a lighter in my hand and said to Li Zhisheng according to the wall next to me, "Okay, let's go." ”
Li Zhisheng looked at the lighter in my hand, glanced at me and said, "If you don't take out the lighter earlier, you are still a smoker, and you can forget it." ”
I said helplessly, "I don't smoke it often, and it's normal to forget......
With that, I walked side by side with Li Zhisheng along the wall of the cemetery......
After a while, I noticed that the road under my feet began to change from the previous flat road to an uphill one, and although the slope was not large, I could still feel it clearly. But other than that, there is no change in the lighting area of the fire machine, there is still a tall concrete wall around it, and it is still pitch black all around......
I don't know how long I walked, but I gradually began to feel a little impatient, because when people are in such an extremely quiet environment, and there is boundless darkness around them, it is easy to develop a sense of powerlessness and fear of the dark, for fear that some terrifying ghosts will pop out of the unknown darkness.
At that moment, I felt that the lighter in my hand was almost too hot to hold due to the long burning, and although I tried to avoid the metal part of the lighter, I accidentally touched it. In an instant, a tingling sensation spread from my fingers all over my body, and I subconsciously let go of my hand, and I poured a cool breath in pain. The lighter fell to the ground with a "snap", and the surroundings fell into darkness again.
Li Zhisheng on the side asked me, "What's wrong?" Got hot? I nodded yes as I blew on my hot hands.
After a moment, when the pain had subsided, I remembered where the lighter had fallen, leaned over and groped on the ground, and found the lighter back. By this time, the lighter was no longer so hot, so I pinched it in my hand and lit it again, and at the same time the light was restored to the surroundings.
But at the moment when the flame burned, a gust of wind suddenly blew out of nowhere, and the flame was blown out, but I didn't feel the wind blowing past me.
Seeing this, I didn't think much of it, and wanted to continue lighting the lighter, but when the flame ignited, it was blown out again......
After that, I tried several more times, but the results were the same every time. Now I panicked, "Is there something around us?!" But didn't Yaolong follow us? Why didn't he notice ......?"
Thinking about it, cold sweat began to slowly ooze from my palms. At this time, Li Zhisheng on the side saw that I couldn't fight for a long time, so he said to me: "Is the lighter broken, try it for me." ”
I searched for the sound and groped to hand the lighter to Li Zhisheng. He took the lighter and struck it a few times, and the flames were immediately generated, but at the same time, I could clearly see that the flames seemed to be violently extinguished by a gust of wind from top to bottom.
Seeing this scene, my mind felt as if I had been struck by lightning, and I hurriedly shouted at Li Zhisheng: "Quickly retreat!" We have something above our heads! ”
