Finale (I) Chapter 38 A Strange Shadow in the Wall
The situation inside is exactly the same as the fat man said, although the ghost man does not explain how the tunnels work.
But I can also roughly guess that these mechanisms must have taken advantage of the human psyche and the natural cracks of the mountain. Maybe as I dig deeper, I'll find more clues.
Using this tunnel opening, you can enter the tunnel where the fat man went through a lot of hardships at that time. We went in with our cats, because the ghost man and the fat man said there would be no danger in it, so we walked fast and had no worries.
Along the way, we shone our flashlights on the walls of the tunnel, looking for the unusual shadow that the ghost man said.
The walls of the entire tunnel are a translucent green, and our flashlight is wrapped in a green cloth given by the ghostly man, like a light that can see through, and it is clear that the stones here are particularly suitable for green light penetration.
In this light, we can even see some superficial layers of human skin. I haven't looked at it closely, and all I see is a shadow.
I just think the face of this thing is very strange, the smaller the shadow, the more similar the face to a person, but if it is a relatively large shadow, the face will be very long.
Among the green stones, they all had their eyes closed, as if they were sleeping.
The fat man told me not to get too close to the rocks, the ghost man said that these things would gather in hot places, so we couldn't stay in one place for too long.
Along the way, we almost all watched with all our energy, for fear of missing a shadow, but we didn't see the kind of "strangeness" that the ghost man said after walking a long distance.
"Do you think this is anything out of the ordinary?" The fat man pursued a policy of preferring to kill by mistake rather than let go, and when he saw something strange, he said, "Look at this shadow, it looks like Zhao Benshan, could it be this?" ”
"I don't think that ghost man can have a chance to know Zhao Benshan. So he couldn't possibly think there was something wrong with this shadow. I said.
"What about this?" The fat man snorted at the other, a shadow in a swimming posture, "Doesn't this look like a dog?" ”
"I don't think it's like looking at pictures and talking. The anomaly must not be so simple, otherwise all the shadows here will have problems. I said. I couldn't help but be a little worried, thinking that it might be because the ghost people overestimated our ability to discriminate.
The fat man shook his head and said that he felt that in that case, the ghost man would not make such a mistake, this guy was a secret service, and an "imprecise narrative" was impossible for him.
I had to believe it. The two of them continued to move on, looking at each other one by one, and soon our activity became a test of imagination.
"Look, this shadow seems to be holding back."
"Look. Damn, this boobs are huge, hey, why is there a tail underneath. ”
It's actually quite interesting at first, and it can also relieve our anxiety.
Later, we watched so much that we didn't even speak*, but just looked at it mechanically from shadow to shadow.
I don't know how long I walked inside, but I didn't see Xiaohua and them, and I didn't find the shadow. And the tunnels seem endless.
Just as we were about to sleepwalk, we saw a shadow!
The fat man and I were awakened almost at the same time, and we shivered. They looked at each other. I realized that the ghost man was right, and we found it.
And indeed, as long as you pay attention to the shadows, this one will never be missed.
It's definitely a shadow that feels very strange.
We saw this shadow in the rock wall, and its hands and feet were very long, and they even grew longer than the height of this shadow.
According to the proportions we see, it is almost like five snakes entwined together to form the shadow of this human figure, and it also looks like a dancing girl wearing long neon sleeves.
"Hands over knees, Liu Bei." The fat man muttered. "Twenty-headed, really good figure."
"Why is this shadow different from the others? Is it a deformed child? I thought to myself. A little nervous, I took the flashlight and walked forward.
But this shadow was quite deep in the rocks, and the flashlight shone away. There is only one dark shadow.
"What's next?" The fat man asked me, "What did he say?" I forgot. ”
"Take the place where this shadow is as the core point, and use oil. What about our oil? ”
The fat man took out the kettle and gave it to me: "Here, save some money." ”
"It's okay, don't you still have you when you run out?" I said. He took the pot and immediately poured it on the ground.
"Neurotic, fat man, how can my god fat be used by you to do such a low thing?" The fat man scolded, "And we don't have the equipment to boil oil." ”
As soon as the oil hits the ground, it immediately begins to penetrate. I found that the rock face on the ground seemed to be only rudely hewn, but in fact the lines on it were learned. The oil immediately began to spread rapidly, flowing to one place.
"There's a door." The fat man said. We walked slowly all the way in the direction of the spread of the oil, and after walking a few steps, we saw a fork in the tunnel wall in front of us, which was very small and could only be entered by bending down.
"God, why didn't we see it just now?" The fat man said, "How did this hole come about?" ”
I got to the fork in the road, and found that the mouth was wet, and when I touched it, I found that it was very sticky, and I felt strange, and a flash of lightning flashed in my head, and I suddenly felt as if I understood the mechanism of the mechanism here.
But after thinking about it carefully, I couldn't figure it out, and when I was in a daze, I suddenly saw a white light light light in the fork in the road, and it seemed that a flashlight was shining through.
I was shocked, and immediately went to look, and saw that there was a white light source in the depths of the tunnel, not as bright as the flashlight, and it was far away and pressed by the light, so I couldn't see clearly.
I used my flashlight to illuminate it, offset the white light, and shone it all the way into more than ten meters, but found that there was no one inside. The fat man also saw it, and cried out to the hole: "Who? ”
When I moved the flashlight away, the white light dimmed.
"What was that, Firefly?" I asked.
"It's a firefly, it's awesome, this light is so bright, how big this insect should be, at least it has to be about the same size as my shoes."
"What light was that? Could it be a ghost fire? I said, "The white light just now is so real, it feels like it must be an artificial light source." ”
"You're out of the imagination." The fat man said, "Based on my life experience, the light just now should be a mobile phone." ”
"Xiaohua's phone?" (To be continued)
