1694 Under the dry well

Takakawa and the little girl walked out of the room, but no matter how much the young husband looked around, he couldn't find them through the doorway and the road they were supposed to pass, as if the two had evaporated out of thin air. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info but for Gao Chuan, he walked out of the room with the little girl, but naturally did not think about turning back. He could understand the hesitation of the young husband, and he did not feel that it was a mistake, in that room, there was a wife who could hear the singing and loved him deeply, and the old hunter should not die at the hands of the strange, and he would inevitably return to the room, and in terms of probability, the trouble that the young couple would face, that is, the inability to observe the little girl and become a "villager".

In contrast, acting with a little girl is uncertain about life and death, and even from the data given by the brain and hardware, the chance of death is greater than staying in the room.

Which is the worst outcome, death or becoming a "villager"? Gao Chuan couldn't judge, but he felt that since he was already following the little girl, he had more possibilities to solve these troubles. He didn't care to pull the young couple by the way when he found a breakthrough in the deep night, no, it should be said, he felt he ought to do it from the beginning.

In addition, although he had such thoughts and felt that there was an opportunity, whether he could actually do it - past experience had taught him that it was a very, very difficult thing.

I want to do it, it seems that I can do it, I actually do it, but I can't do it - this is like a strange circle, a cage, which makes Takakawa deeply feel that the malice around him is so strong.

The night was even thicker, and the darkness had exceeded the normal night, although when you looked up, you could see faint starlight and moonlight, and there was a light like mist flowing with the clouds, but these lights seemed to be unable to touch the earth, and the sky was already diluted a hundred meters away. Thus, the earth was hidden in an eerie darkness, and was not completely invisible, precisely because of the light of fire that came out of some ruined houses. It was the light of the campfire, like the light that attracted flying insects, making people subconsciously feel safe and warm. No one will wander outside on such a night, the strange figures are never standing in front of the field of vision, when they are aware of their existence, they are always "behind", in the "shadows", in "the corners of houses and streets", in "corners that are about to be squeezed out of view", their appearance is always accompanied by a kind of horror that can be felt personally, and people can't help but feel a cool breath from the bottom of their hearts.

In addition to what can be seen, there are also sounds, the sound is intermittent, like pulling the bellows, bringing not only the sound of the wind, but also the sound of friction and agitation, when these sounds are listened to carefully, they are all from afar, and when they come back to their senses and want to ignore it, they suddenly become very close to themselves, as if they are about to get close to them. These associations breed more grotesque and terrifying thoughts, but on this night there is also the sound of hunting, which is more akin to human gasps, and the sound of steel clashing, the muffled sound of heavy hammer strikes, and even the roar of guns and sharp arrows cutting through the air. Takakawa could hear more, such as the hysterical, nervous screams and strange laughter of the people hiding in the house, and the vaguely mushing, slimy sounds that came from nowhere.

There are brain hardware that can distinguish the sound of the sound source body, and there are also sounds that the brain hardware has never recorded.

After that, there are smells, and Takakawa can also smell a variety of smells, and these smells all have the same characteristic, that is, they don't smell. It is a smell that ordinary people think will never exist under normal circumstances, and it can make people understand at once that they are in an unstable and very dangerous environment, these dangers are not brought by the smell itself, it is not toxic, but it can make people draw all kinds of strange and dangerous outlines in their minds, all of which are some inhuman outlines, like the most disgusting and worst forms that people can imagine by themselves. Takakawa knew very well that in such an environment, it was impossible to distinguish whether the strangeness he "saw" was real or illusory, nor could he determine its true face and ability, and everyone saw "it" differently, because it was usually the image that the observer himself feared, thought troublesome, dangerous, and unwilling to approach.

There are many places in this deepest night that blur the physical and the spiritual, and it is both a never-ending nightmare and a real place.

The more time passes, the more pronounced its anomaly becomes, the deeper it becomes, the darker it becomes, and the more it feels like it's inescapable.

In Takakawa's cognition, himself, the little girl, and the old hunter are likely to be the "people" who haunt the streets in the middle of the night—but whether he, the little girl, or the old hunter, in a sense, does not belong to the concept of normal human beings. Maybe in the middle of the night, the only person who wants to find the closest thing to a normal person is that young husband. The others, including his wife, and the people who stayed around the campfires in other rooms and behaved strangely, were much more unusual than their young husbands.

Takakawa followed the little girl and walked down the ramp, from where he could see up the corner of the ruins of the house where the young couple were, right at the window of the bonfire room, and in a blink of an eye, he saw as if there was a figure moving away, as if the figure was still staring at himself and the little girl. But from the vague figure alone, which could not be made clear by the prosthetic and chain judgments, he could not tell if it was a young couple or not.

It's starting to get weird.

It turned out that when I left the house, it was not like this. Takakawa thought so.

But you can't just turn around and walk back because of such a feeling, the little girl in front of you will not stay and wait for herself.

In fact, if you use violence to force the little girl to follow you, it is also a way. However, Takakawa still feels that with the strangeness of the little girl's performance, and the hidden possibilities behind her, let her do what she wants to do in order to reach the finish line most efficiently. The little girl wants to find the music box left by her mother, and claims that the song she hears is the melody of the music box, so this music box will naturally not be a normal music box, and the various phenomena generated around it will inevitably gradually appear in the process of the little girl looking for it, and complete the sublimation when the little girl finds it.

Takakawa felt that if things went according to his own thoughts, that kind of sublimation would inevitably lead to a series of strong chain reactions, and the impact would be the most likely flaw in this deepest night, which had always been smooth, faint and flawless. It's like throwing a stone at the reflection of a huge lake, and only a large enough stone can make a large enough reflection to be fragmented.

What Takakawa wanted to make sure was that the little girl could find the music box. And, in the process of searching, what happened to the little girl may also become a kind of hint. Gao Chuan didn't think that the little girl's trip would go well, the old hunter said that she would "die", so her "death" was likely to be in this search trip.

The little girl was not at all afraid of the strange - it was not so much as Takakawa, who observed her, as if she could not see, hear, or feel the terrible thing at all, as if she had stayed with the young couple not because the night was so terrible, but like a lost child, who had nowhere to go because he could not think of a way home, so he stayed there and mingled with strangers in order to obtain a temporary shelter and food. But she didn't really have any attachment to that place or the people of that place - even if the other person showed kindness, she didn't intend to reciprocate it.

From this point of view, the little girl is also indifferent.

The room where the young couple was located was in a more remote corner of the village, and the place where the girl was going was supposed to be in the center of the village. The route deduced from the retina screen led straight through the central valley of the village, where Takagawa remembered the most intact and dilapidated houses in the village, as well as a dry well. Traces of modern civilization have been left everywhere in the village, but in some places there is still some ancient custom, and the dry well is, in terms of style, one of the proofs of this custom. By looking at the traces, Takakawa even believed that someone had used the dry well not so long ago. But why use dry wells? Takakawa couldn't analyze the reason, and he didn't find any clues from the dry well that were enough to make an inference.

The little girl walked through the high and low eaves, and at first she walked, but gradually she ran like an elf, and there were no obstacles to her fear, and those strangeness, which seemed to be peeking at her, were clearly in Gao Chuan's feelings, and disappeared without a trace after she passed. She jumped over the debris, over the crumbling wall, into the sack where the wheat was leaking out of the breach, and her skillful posture was not at all like the timid she had before.

"Come on, come on." As she ran, she turned back to Takakawa and said, "I heard, the sound of the music box." ”

Gao Chuan felt that she was so cheerful, unvigilant, and not afraid of strangers at all, and she was just two people in his impression. And the greater the contrast between the little girl, the more it is full of weird feelings, the more people feel that there is something wrong in it, and something is happening in secret. As Takakawa ran after her, he began to feel that she was not taking him to find the music box, but to guide him somewhere.

Takakawa didn't hear any singing, nor did he hear the sound of the music box that the little girl received, and the sounds he heard were all frightening and uncomfortable, as if he had smashed all the unbeautiful things into mud, and the buzzing sound would make people feel that they had seen something disgusting.

However, the little girl did not stop, and Takakawa could only catch up. He had tried to get past the girl, trying to slash at the strangeness of the two of them, but even if he had used the quick sweep, the peeping side would have disappeared without a trace before he arrived, as if everything was just his own illusion.

As he had thought, the little girl, after turning a few corners, ran into the barn in the middle of the village, and stopped in front of the dry well. She lay on the edge of the well, looking into the well, and the cheerful mood before suddenly quieted down. Gao Chuan followed behind her and also looked into the dry well, but found that there was already water in the dry well at some point.

Although there was no light from the campfires in the nearby houses, the grain was darker than all before, but only the reflection of the moon was exceptionally clear in the water. Two heads appeared on the edge of the moon shadow, which should obviously be the faces of Takakawa and the little girl, but they were not what Takakawa thought. The contours of her face can still be seen, but the contours of the little girl's face are completely deformed, and it is precisely because the well water has no waves, so compared to the normal of Gao Chuan, the fluctuation of the little girl's face is not normal at all - as if to say, such an uncertain appearance is her real appearance.

"What are you looking at?" Takakawa asked calmly.

"Music Box ......," said the little girl, "the music box is down there." ”

"You hear the sound it makes in the water?" Gao Chuan asked, under normal circumstances, this is of course impossible.

"Well, I heard you." The moment the girl finished saying this, ripples appeared in the well water, and a black shadow appeared in the well water, expanding, and in an instant, it made Gao Chuan feel that it was coming head-on. Gao Chuan immediately retreated, hugged the little girl, and took her away from the well. Although it was very sudden, there were too many strange and abnormal clues, which made Gao Chuan mentally prepared. It's not surprising if the music box that attracts little girls is just a trap. It's not surprising that little girls are attracted and hunted by weird people. And it is not surprising that the people who followed the little girl here were affected by the pond fish.

There is an invisible thread, tied to the bait, which attracts small fish, and small fish attract big fish, and then the small fish and big fish are caught in the net - to look at what is happening in this way, it can only be said that this is not some bizarre and strange scheme. Gao Chuan still felt that if it was only to this extent, then it would be impossible for the little girl to be hurt here, and he would not fail here.

The strange surprise attack, in the eyes of the swift Gao Chuan, could not be talked about suddenly or fast. In the depths of the night, he had yet to find anything that could be faster than his speed.

In the next moment, Gao Chuan, who was holding the little girl back, bounced forward like a spring. As the strange huge claws rushed out of the edge of the well, setting off a huge amount of well water, the sharp blade had already ejected from Takakawa's left arm and slashed down at the wrist of the huge scaly claw. After that, Gao Chuan retreated more than ten meters again, and when he stopped, the huge claws slipped from the flat wound.

The size of this monster claw is about the height of three people, and if you calculate the size of a normal creature, this monster's body must be the size of the surrounding house. However, judging from the results and feel of the attack, Takakawa doesn't think this is a very powerful guy. (To be continued.) )
