Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Mystery of the Cloud Ladder

Another person is missing, where will he go on such a high mountaintop? Everyone was terrified and searched everywhere. I also searched for a while, and suddenly I felt anxious and wanted to find a toilet.

It's been two days up the mountain, and I haven't even had a convenient time. Only then did I notice that on the top of this glorious mountain, I couldn't find a convenient place. No, I'll have to avoid them and solve my personal problems first.

Walking through a long corridor, I looked back and saw that among the people who were walking around looking for the missing Zhang Erxi, there were still people who could see it. But I really can't hold it back, whatever, anyway, on the top of such a high mountain, there are men on it, so I can't care so much.

Just as I was about to untie the belt, I was surprised to find that the uneven rock at the end of the corridor seemed to be slowly squirming as if it were alive. People who were puzzled touched it easily, but they didn't expect that their hands didn't feel a trace of resistance.

Surprised, I couldn't help but stretch out a foot, but I still didn't feel any resistance. I tentatively moved my body into the rock, and as soon as my head entered the face of the void rock, I was surprised to find that there was another cave in it.

It was just quiet inside, and a chill came down my spine. I looked around and was amazed to see that everything inside was the same as the outside.

As I was dumbfounded, I faintly smelled a fishy smell in my nose. Following the smell, I walked slowly and found that the room in front of me was actually a toilet.

I was overjoyed, and when I was about to step into the toilet, I was surprised to see Wang Qiang squatting in the toilet with his back to me. "Wang Qiang, why are you here? What are you doing? I called out to him softly.

Wang Qiang turned his head slowly, it was a face that resembled Wang Qiang, and unlike Wang Qiang, that face was slowly rotting. I screamed in fright, only to see that terrible face smiling at me, with a piece of flesh dripping with blood hanging from the corner of his mouth.

In front of him, I saw the missing Zhang Erxi. He lay quietly on the toilet floor, twitching from time to time, and one arm had already allowed Wang Qiang to gnaw on only the white bones.

Wang Qiang rushed towards me with a cruel smile, I screamed in fright, and suddenly it was dark in front of me. When I woke up, I was shocked to find that I was still standing at the end of the hallway, facing the uneven rock at the end.

I was terrified, and I was relieved to see that people outside were still walking around. Was what I just saw hallucinating? I mustered up the courage to stretch out a finger and gently poke the rock.

Where it touched, it was cold. The rocks were harder than I could have imagined, and they were no longer as empty as they had just seen. I fixed my mind and secretly laughed at myself for hallucinating at this time.

"Xiaomo, what are you still doing here?" An anxious voice sounded behind me, scaring me into screaming.

Wang Qiang stepped forward and said strangely: "Xiaomo, what's wrong with you?" Surprised! Hurry up and go out to see, Zhang Erxi found it, but unfortunately, he also died. ”

I looked at Wang Qiang's serious and nervous face, and I really couldn't associate him with the terrifying face I had just seen. He urged me again, and I came to my senses, and quickly followed him to the flat place.

In one corner of the field, two corpses lay silently. From the clothing of the new corpse, I recognized at a glance that he was the missing Zhang Erxi.

I asked in surprise, "Wang Qiang, how did Zhang Erxi's body be found?" ”

Wang Qiang sighed and said: "It's really strange that Zhang Erxi's body was actually hung on the top of that ladder, just because there were clouds on it, so everyone didn't find it at first." ”

The shadow of death looms over everyone, but there is no way out for everyone. The way down the mountain had been cut off and burned by the men themselves, and the only hope was to climb over that mountain by ladder.

It's just that there is always a cloud on the ladder, and according to what the blind fortune teller said, if you don't find the little book that records the secret, even if you climb the ladder, you will fall from it, and eventually end up dead without a body.

The rest of the people looked around for the little book as if they were crazy, and everyone's mental state became worse and worse. It's just very strange that although I live in the same room with Wang Qiang, we seem to be timed, and when it gets dark, we will fall asleep. And when we woke up every day, we would find that there was one less person with us, and one more corpse.

It wasn't until the third person died that an inexplicable sense of fear came crashing down on me. It's just me and Wang Qiang, and the more scared I am, the more calm Wang Qiang seems to be.

I couldn't help but ask, "Wang Qiang, you say, did you kill those people?" ”

Wang Qiang paused for a moment and said, "Xiaomo, how can you have this idea?" Don't we live in the same room? How could I possibly go and kill someone? ”

I couldn't take it anymore, and the visions I had seen that day came out in my mind. Wang Qiang paused for a long time, showed a strange smile and said: "It's really mysterious that nothing happened, okay, I'll tell you the truth." That's right, I killed all of these people. ”

Although I still had a hunch in my heart, I screamed in fright because he admitted it so directly. On the top of this mountain, he has already killed all the others, so is the next person he wants to kill, is it me?

Seeing that Wang Qiang was still smiling and did not show murderous intentions to me, I couldn't help but feel a little lucky in my heart. I asked anxiously, "Wang Qiang, why do you want to kill them?" How do you do that? ”

Wang Qiang smiled and said, "Xiaomo, in fact, it wasn't me who killed them, it was the two of us who killed them." You are a smart person and super capable. It's just a pity that the smarter people in this world, if they have bad intentions, then their destructive power and harm will be stronger. ”

"What are we climbing this mountain for? Do you really think it's for the people? Wrong, of course, for power and wealth. You see, those people are under our feet, supporting us, are they very tired and bitter? This is their destiny, and we are inherently superior to them. ”

"At first, we had so many people, but along the way, there were fewer and fewer people. This is the inevitable result of embarking on an official career! is almost at the peak of power, how can there be so many people? Besides, what do we want to do? It's just to get the great treasures and riches on the other side of the mountain. Now that hope is in sight, can you guarantee that others don't want to monopolize it? If we don't kill them, then they will kill us. ”

I said in horror: "No, I didn't kill anyone, don't put the charge of murder on my head!" ”

Wang Qiang sneered and said, "According to your words, I didn't kill anyone. In fact, we killed. Do you remember the strange mountain wall at the end of the corridor you said? That is actually the embodiment of the human heart, and our current position is the bright side of human nature, which is shown to the world. And the other side of the mountain wall is the dark side of our human nature. You have great powers, and at night, we both entered the darkness at the same time, luring them in and getting rid of them one by one. ”

Wang Qiang's unbelievable words made me say like a fog cover in the clouds, and I couldn't believe his words. Seeing that I didn't believe it, Wang Qiang smiled slyly and said, "Xiaomo, it's been more than ten days since we arrived at the top of this mountain, don't you want to think about it, what is there for us to eat on this mountaintop?" If we hadn't devoured their flesh, would we have survived to this day? ”

It was only after he said this that I thought of the meat that was magically prepared in the room every day, and although it tasted delicious, it really wasn't like any meat I had eaten before. Is this really the flesh and blood of those dead comrades? I suddenly felt a tumbling sensation in my stomach, and I couldn't stop vomiting.

Wang Qiang smiled and said: "Xiaomo, if you want to survive in this world, you have to deceive me, and the weak eat the strong." What is the point of sucking their flesh? What kind of food do we eat every day that is not the carcass of an animal or a plant? ”

In the face of Wang Qiang's coercion and temptation, I had to accept his terrifying and disgusting theory. If I want to survive, I really can't live without him, a well-informed and nasty guy.

I hesitated for a moment and asked, "Wang Qiang, then why did you choose to cooperate with me, but not cooperate with any of them, and kill me first?" ”

Wang Qiang smiled and said, "Xiaomo, let me tell you the truth, where did you get any secrets?" This is all to coax them, just to induce their inner greed, and take advantage of this, we will lead them into the dark side of human nature and then kill them. I've known the secret for a long time, that is, we have to climb this mountain, and this ladder is still a little bit away. We have to borrow strength to get over the top of the mountain and get that amazing fortune. ”

I was surprised, "You mean the ladder isn't high enough?" ”

Wang Qiang nodded and said, "Yes, this ladder is still one person's height away from the real mountain peak." What to do? We have no way back, we must climb over this mountain. However, this ladder can only accommodate two people, and cannot bear the weight of a third person. Therefore, only two of our people can survive, and these two people have to cooperate to reach the pinnacle of this official career and successfully obtain that wealth. ”

I said in horror, "Then why did you choose to cooperate with me?" When I said this, I secretly felt lucky in my heart, if Wang Qiang chose someone else, I was afraid that I would have become a corpse at this time.

Unexpectedly, Wang Qiang smiled and said: "Xiaomo, you are the best person to cooperate with me, I have no choice but you." Think about it, that ladder is one person's height, how can we go up? The only way is for two people to cooperate, one person supports the other person underneath, and when the other person reaches the top, then pulls the person below up. ”
