Chapter 34: Coming True
I froze all of a sudden, my feet went limp, my whole body was out of strength, I didn't dare to move again, I didn't dare to take my eyes off, and the searchlight kept shining in that direction.
Under the penetration of the powerful searchlight, the figure is quite clear, what is creepy is the posture of the person, this person's posture is very weird, the whole person is almost standing upright, the whole shoulder is collapsed, my first feeling is that this person is floating there like me, but it seems that the figure does not move at all, only the corpse will be like that.
The feeling of suffocation at that time had reached its limit, and this was probably the most unbelievable thing I had ever encountered, which could have been explained in countless ways on land, but this was at the bottom of the lake, at a depth of sixty or seventy meters, and this shadow stood there leisurely, motionless, definitely not a diver.
What the hell is this, a youkai, or a water ghost!
No one can survive underwater without an oxygen cylinder, and no one can stand so underwater. I'm furious in my heart, this time the fuck really hit the luck, I'm afraid I'm really a water ghost to Agui, I can't believe it.
When I think of the water ghosts, I immediately think of the bones we were looking for earlier: these are the dumplings that the corpses of those people in the archaeological team turned into in the water after they died? Is that the ghost of the village after it was flooded? The disappearance of the stuffy oil bottle and the fat man, is it a trick to fall for these things?
If it's a dumpling, it's okay, but I can't run slower than it with all my equipment, and if it's a ghost, I'm afraid I'll have to be his substitute. Fatty, if they are killed, I don't know if they will come out to help me. I was completely overwhelmed, and I didn't dare to move forward or turn around, for fear that as soon as I turned around, this thing would immediately pounce on me, and I would rather watch it kill me than suddenly feel something strange behind me.
I could only stare at the shadow. However, I froze for a moment, only to find that the shadow did not move at all, and that it was very strange, like a stone sculpture, and I could not see even the slightest movement. At the same time, I had an even stranger feeling that I had seen this shadow, as if I had seen it somewhere.
This feeling miraculously became stronger and stronger, as if the subconscious will was guiding me, and I mustered up courage, but the shape of the shadow on the screen began to change little by little. Cold sweat came down irrepressibly, and I watched the shadow change, and the feeling of déjà vu grew stronger and stronger, even overpowering my fear for a while. After walking about seven meters, this feeling has reached a pole, and at that moment, I remembered. My God, this shadow, this screen, isn't it the shadow in Brother Chu's photo!
Before I came to Banai, I received a photograph sent to me by my third uncle's old friend Chuge, which showed the interior of an old building with a screen inside. And behind the screen, there is also the shadow of a person. In retrospect, this figure turned out to be exactly the same as what I see now.
Because the ghost building in Golmud was written on the back of the photo, I judged that the photo was taken in the ghost building of Golmud, but now it seems that I was wrong, isn't the note after the photo a comment on the photo itself, could that photo be taken here?
But there was no trace of underwater in that photo at that time, that is, if it was taken like this, then when the photo was taken, the underwater ancient village had not been submerged.
That kind of photo should be from the thirties and forties at the earliest, could it be that the time when this ancient village was submerged is actually not as long as I thought? Photo...... Shadow...... Underwater...... Could it be that the photo that Brother Chu gave me contains a deep meaning that I don't understand, and I just used it as a piece of stationery? Did he give me that picture because he wanted me to find the shadow of it? My mind cleared up for a moment, and then it was filled with countless strange years.
What messes my mind is the shadow, in that photo, the shadow poses so strangely, but now this shadow is almost the same as in that photo.
If the picture was taken here, does that mean that after the photo was taken, the shadow didn't move at all and was here all the time? It couldn't have been a water ghost, because it hadn't sunk into the water at the time, and the shadow was supposed to be a dead thing.
I was stunned for a moment, and suddenly I had the courage to find a brick, swing my flippers, and swim towards the screen. When I was almost to the screen, I smashed the brick into the screen, and my heart said fuck you. But before I finished speaking, I regretted it.
The screen was so watery that it couldn't bear it at all, and the stone hit the pillar of the screen, and the screen suddenly fell over, and the corrosion floated up like snowflakes and rushed towards me. I immediately stepped back and took a searchlight to shine it, but it was all floating. I turned the lamp forward with my hand, and in the confusion, something came out of the floating debris and lunged at me.
I immediately blew up, struggling to retreat, and at the same time took the military thorn and began to stab indiscriminately, stabbing a dozen times, but nothing was stabbed, and the breathing apparatus in my mouth fell off.
I scrambled to grab it back, but the floating object in front of me had been swept away by the current, and all I had in front of me was a piece of driftwood with a white sè. I cursed, kicked it away, and used my searchlight to shine on the shadow behind the screen.
The shadow was still there, the float was thinning out a little, and its true face was more or less revealed. It was a humanoid thing, with a head, hands, and feet, standing there. Covered in white sè attachments, it presents a very stiff movement, as if it is a dead body that has been ossified, and after being hung up, it has somehow waxed and the body is wrapped. It's like a stone statue, and it's very indescribable.
Its face was completely covered, and it was not known if it had any expression, but it looked like a dead thing, because if it could move, the attachments on its body would certainly not accumulate so thickly......
What is this? The doubts in my heart were even greater.
