Chapter 42: The Seventh Man
With a loud "click", everything returned to peace. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoThere are no steps, and there is only an abyss intertwined with iron cables below, but fortunately, the dragon plate is very large, enough for the three of us to move on it.
Now that we have no way back, we thought that there would be an exit from the top of this building, but we didn't expect that there was nothing except the huge dragon plate, and our eyes were naturally attracted by the jade box.
"This thing must be valuable, let's take it out and make a fortune!" Fawn Road.
"It's a tatte when you take it out, who needs this in the ghost town!" I sarcastically said, I didn't expect this guy to be so greedy for money.
We went around to the back of the jade box, for fear that something would fly out of it, and then carefully opened the box, and when we looked inside, it was empty.
"Grass! Play us too! I don't believe that such a big building, the mechanism is exhausted, and the result is such an empty box! Brother Hao said excitedly.
Xiaolu looked at it carefully and said, "I'm afraid that the things in here have been taken away by others." ā
"How is it possible, who would run to such a place!" I said.
"The seventh man!" The fawn said firmly.
I suddenly understood what he meant, there were seven people in the photo, but there were only five corpses in the dragon tower, and the person who looked like the fawn also died in the water hole, so that there was only one person left missing.
Brother Hao was confused and asked what we meant, I briefly explained it to him, and he suddenly realized, and then said: "That is to say, this person escaped with the contents of the jade box, so what did he take?" ā
Xiaolu thought for a moment, frowned and said: "The things he took out are the key, and the blood words on the wall are likely to be left by him, but I don't understand what the purpose of these people is, is it just for the things in the box?" Six out of seven people died, which is not worth it. ā
When he said this, I suddenly remembered the date on the letter of introduction and asked, "Could it have something to do with what happened in 1973?" ā
"There must have been a big event that made them risk their lives to come here. To understand the truth, we must at least know what happened in 73 years, which is getting more and more interesting! The fawn licked her lips and said with an excited look on her face.
I don't know what's so exciting about this, Xiaolu always likes to find out about these strange things, if he is sent to investigate the household registration, I'm afraid that even the eighteenth generation of ancestors can be turned out.
At present, we can be sure that something happened in the seventh and third years that made these seven people have to come to the Dragon Tower, but they encountered an accident here, six died, and the only surviving seventh person escaped with the contents of the jade box, and finding this person may be the key to solving the puzzle.
"Don't talk about this nonsense, the question now is how to get out!" Brother Hao said.
I looked around, there was a dragon plate hanging on the top, there was nothing next to it, not even a little gap could be found, there was no difference between the bottom of the dragon plate and the cliff, we were desperate.
The fawn stood up and groped around the ceiling, as if he had found something, and we leaned forward to look at him, and after a while, he said slowly, "Since the person who survived in the first place can escape, it means that there must be some mechanism here that can take us out!" ā
This sentence gave me a lot of confidence, but it would be embarrassing if someone came out of that gap.
Just as we were discussing how to get out, the dragon plate suddenly shook violently. I was so frightened by the sudden shaking that I hurriedly grabbed the chain hanging from the top and lay down on the plate to keep my center of gravity to a minimum.
The fawn didn't stand still, and suddenly fell next to me, almost falling. The three of us clung to the chains, for fear that we would be shaken off if we were not careful.
The dragon pan shook harder and harder, like a pirate ship in an amusement park, and it didn't take long for me to start feeling dizzy and nauseous.
"What the fuck is going on!" I shouted.
"You ask me, I ask ghosts! If you don't stop any longer, the brothers will really explain everything! Brother Hao said.
Suddenly, the fawn shouted, "Not good! The air here seems to be slowly decreasing! ā
Hearing him say this, I immediately reacted, no wonder I felt a little dizzy, it turned out to be a lack of oxygen.
"It's like a huge air pump, constantly exhausting air to the outside, and at this rate, we won't be able to last long!" The fawn continued to shout.
I immediately panicked, that gap should not be used to draw air, if so, then the builder of this dragon tower is really ill-intentioned, first to force people to the top, and then cut off the back road, and then use this cruel means to slowly torture people to death, why bother?!
I felt a little difficult to breathe, and my hands and feet were starting to weaken, and the air content should be very low now, and if we couldn't find a way out, we would really have to bury our five brothers below.
As the minutes ticked by, the uncomfortable feeling didn't diminish at all, and I was about to lose it anymore, just as I was about to close my eyes, "Bang! With a bang, the chain at the top seemed to break, and we fell down with the dragon plate.
The feeling of weightlessness was so devastating that I couldn't scream in fear, so I could only lie on the disc, my hands and feet tense, and I wondered how I might not hit a few iron cables to slow down.
After about five or six seconds, the dragon disk suddenly stopped, and due to inertia, I felt like I had fallen to the ground, and my heart hurt. Almost at the same time, a strong air flow rushed over, and I hurriedly subconsciously stood up and inhaled the air greedily, this feeling was the same as the addiction to smoking after three years of quitting smoking, there was an indescribable pleasure.
We didn't care about communication, we all breathed heavily, as if we had come to heaven at this moment. This good feeling didn't last long, and then there was a roar all around, could it be that the steps were sticking out again?
Just thinking about it, I saw that those iron cables actually burned all at once, hundreds of iron cables were full of flames, and they kept spitting tongues of fire, the scene was extremely spectacular.
"What the hell is this situation, if you want us to die, hurry up, don't be shocked and torture!" Brother Hao raised his head and scolded.
As soon as the words fell, the dragon pan shook violently, and I patted Brother Hao and said, "Just talk nonsense about you!" ā
"Stop arguing! If you keep burning like this, sooner or later you will run out of oxygen! The fawn sighed from the side.
Fate didn't give us the slightest respite, and the dragon disk shook so violently that almost instantly, we fell off the plate. I instinctively grabbed the nearest rope to barely fall. Xiaolu and Brother Hao grabbed the iron rope below and hung on it as well.
I thought it was going to be a barbecue, but the flame on the wire wasn't hot, and I immediately realized that it was phosphorus fire!
