Chapter 4: The Nest
I was unsuspected, startled by the voice, and thought I was hallucinating. But when I listened closely, I felt that someone was actually talking.
"Who?!" I stood there and yelled, and when the group saw that I was in a situation, they immediately stopped.
"What's wrong?" The girl looked at me in amazement.
"Do you hear that? Someone spoke. I looked up nervously at the girl, and when I said this, she pricked up her ears to listen, and then shook her head after a moment.
"Nothing......" The girl's voice had just finished when the voice came again. I asked the girl to listen again, but she still didn't hear anything.
I found that the sound was almost always a tone, I don't know if it was a distance, and it was not clear when it reached my ears, like someone was covering their mouth to speak.
"I don't lie to you, someone is really talking!" I crouched down and reached for my flashlight to shine into the dark bushes under the deer's belly. "Who is it? Be...... Is it the Jing family?! ”
No one answered, and the bushes tangled together and rolled into a nest-like hole under the belly of the stone deer. There was nothing to see in the cave except for the branches and leaves. So I took two steps forward to see more deeply, but as soon as I lifted my footsteps, the sound was gone.
"You beware!" Dadong reminded me behind me.
"I know." I nodded.
I felt very strange, although the voice was not clear, but it was definitely loud, why didn't anyone else hear it except me? If it's really a person, why didn't he answer me? Will he be the Jing family? It occurred to me that he might really be the Jing family, and when he saw our large group of people, he was eighty percent worried that there was fraud in it, so he used a way that only I could hear to inform me?
…… Will that be the case? Or am I thinking too much? Is this simply a trap set by tricks and demons?
I felt very uncomfortable, I wanted to leave, I wanted to leave him alone, but I was afraid that I would miss them if I missed any clues. After thinking about it, I gritted my teeth, and went back to Xiao Rong to ask for a glow stick, intending to throw it into the nest to see it clearly, and at this moment, the voice sounded again-
"Come on, come on......"
Holding the glow stick, I froze in place as if I was stupid. I looked around, and at the inexplicable faces of the people. Finally, I looked at my feet and finally knew why no one else could hear the sound - the floor tiles!
I saw that the floor tile under my feet was not quite the same as the other floor tiles, and the surface seemed to be carved in the shape of a begonia flower, about 20 cm long and wide. As soon as you step on it, you can hear the strange sound, and as soon as your feet leave, the sound disappears from your ears.
I tried it twice and found that this was the case, and I was immediately puzzled.
First of all, this mechanism is too secretive, not only using mechanical control, but also acoustics, did the ancients really have such a ability? Secondly, what exactly is this sound coming from, and if it is a person, who will it be? What is it if not a person?
At this time, I suddenly thought of some kind of distress signal, for example: when you are in distress in the wilderness, you need to shout for help, but you are exhausted and can't shout, at this time there happens to be a recording speaker at hand, so you record your own voice for help, play it repeatedly, then save you a lot of physical strength.
…… Will the answer be what I guessed?
"Yoko, it's better to forget it." Dadong persuaded me.
I looked back at him and thought to myself, there are more strange monsters in this "door", and parrots can learn to speak, even if they can only speak human words, it is not unusual. So I bowed down and shouted into the nest, "I'll ask you one last time, are you the Jing family?" Count three times, and I'll leave without replying, 1-2-3-"
After shouting this third shout, I got up and was about to slap my ass and leave, when a black thing suddenly flew out of the nest and slammed into the floor in front of me, making a clear noise.
I was startled and looked down to see a flat, dark green metal object whirling on the ground. I was stunned when I saw it, it turned out to be an old-fashioned military kettle with a cross canvas strap tied to it.
I picked up the kettle without thinking, but the lid was missing, and the kettle was empty. Eighty percent of them were things that those 16 people had used. I said in my heart, if this is really a trap in front of me, then the IQ of this demon is also very high! People even know how to use bait!
"I'm grass, there really are people!"
His brain was still flying, and at this time, he saw Dadong squatting in front of the nest and yelling. I thought I must have seen something, so I hurried up to see it. When the flashlight shone into the nest, we saw a hand waving at us in the middle of the Hessian branches......
I held the kettle and thought to myself, what else could this be if this wasn't human? But if it's a human, this person's actions are too weird, what does he want to do in this bush? Want us in? The line of sight was really unclear, and most of the places as far as the eye could see were blocked by weeds, so I subconsciously crawled towards the nest, but before my head could get in, Dadong grabbed me from behind.
"You'll ...... later"
Dadong was about to speak, but I stopped him, "It's okay, I'll only climb a short section to go in and have a look, you are dragging my calf behind, don't let go." ”
Dadong thought about it, and finally nodded, and said that it would be done, if it is really a person, you should not be busy following up. This hole obviously can't be drilled, you exit first and we'll find the entrance to enter.
I nodded and said okay, I'll shout if there's something. After saying that, he shrank and crawled into the nest.
The hole was exactly one man wide. It is said to be drilling, but in fact, it has not penetrated much, and the body has only entered more than half of it, and the ankles of both feet are exposed. In front of me, a clump of weeds blocked the way. I stretched out my hand to remove the weeds, turned on my flashlight, and saw that there seemed to be a fork in front of the hole, and the man's hand came out of the fork.
His hands were covered with mud, and his wrists were as thin as sticks. Wave it twice and stop in the air for a while. It's dark all around, and there are too many obstructions, so I can't really see it.
I thought to myself that this nest is too weird, can an ordinary shrub grow like this? There seemed to be some insect crawling on my face, and I slapped it with my hand, thinking that I couldn't delay, this place was simply not for people, so I shouted: "Hey! I'm coming in now, you say, who the hell are you? ”
The shouting voice buzzed in the nest, but the man still did not answer, his hand hung in the air, and he did not move.
The space right now is small, I'm so depressed that I want to die, I think this can't do this, that thing doesn't know if it's a human or a ghost, but obviously I can't understand people, I have to withdraw quickly! So I propped myself up and stepped back, and at that moment, something suddenly flashed in front of me, and I only felt a tightness on my neck, and something was wrapped around my neck, dragging me to the nest.
Dadong - Dadong save me - !
I was immediately frightened and shouted loudly, but there was no movement behind me after shouting for a long time. That's when I realized that I couldn't make a sound with my mouth open......
