Chapter 37: The Cave Ghost Blows Out the Lamp
Stern eventually found Kansa in a hollow in a large tree that grew next to the cloister. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
He searched all the way through the tactical lamp, and found that the sandal shoe prints that were obvious to Kansa appeared on the dusty ground of the cave entrance, and then followed the direction of the shoe prints to the entrance of another cloister in the cave, which was actually the culmination of the cave door, and then at a three-way right angle to one of the cloisters where they were.
The direction of the shoe print is to another masonry corridor, which is a passage leading directly to the main hall of the palace, with only half-height stone balustrades on both sides of the passage, and then several stone pillars support the curved brick roof on the top of the cave, forming this corridor with ventilation on both sides. The cloister is flanked by an open-air pool and a small garden, and the edges are covered with tall tropical trees along the colonnade.
The footprints disappeared at a railing on the left side of the passageway, and Stern wondered how Kansa could have managed to get out of the cloister. So he climbed over the railing to search the garden and found Kansa hiding in a hollow in a tree. He was in the hollow of the tree with a pair of dark eyes open, looking out vigilantly, and if it weren't for Stern's chance to shine into the hollow, he wouldn't have been able to spot him at all.
"Ah......h
Before Stern could ask Kansa how he hid in the hollow of the tree, a creepy woman's scream suddenly came from the depths of the darkness!
Stern said badly, could it be that Annie and the others are in some danger? So he didn't care about Kansa, so he pulled him out and rushed all the way to the cave!
Kansa looked frightened, half-pulled behind by Stern, moaning as if to say not to go to the grotto.
Stern hurried to find Anne and the others, not paying much attention to what Kansa was saying, only that he was frightened by the serpent.
Stern followed the direction of the grotto entrance to the position where he and Anne were separated, and saw no one. So he looked deeper into the grotto, and found the footprints left by Anne and the others on the ground, and was about to follow the footprints, but found that the light was getting dimmer and dimmer.
Stern thought to himself what was going on, was it his own dazzled or the light, he patted the tactical light, and then the light suddenly became flickering and dim, and he suddenly remembered that the tactical light was installed on the gun for the poorly lit combat environment, although the illumination was strong, but the power consumption was large, and the durability was not good. What's more, they were once exposed to the strong magnetic Linga statue, and the components inside are estimated to have been affected.
He had no other lighting tools to use other than tactical lamps and the few glow sticks and candles he had left, so Stern had to endure the dimmer light and fumbled forward. Finally, just as he crossed a fork in the road, there was a sudden darkness in front of him!
It was at this time that he suddenly saw a faint light on the ground in the distance, and it was the glow stick that Stern had given Anne! With that, he quickly pulled Kansa towards the glow stick, and Kansa shouted as if he had lost his mind, saying that he wanted to get out of here.
Stern had no choice but to drag Kansa towards the place where the glow stick was, and just as he was only one step away from the position of the glow stick, there was a sudden sound of rustling in the darkness, like a strange sound made by thousands of claws scratching stones. Stern and Kansa heard it for a while, goosebumps all over their bodies, and their minds imagined that something terrible must have happened around them, and Stern thought to himself that Annie and they must have been attacked by this terrifying creature in the dark, and he regretted that he had been too hasty in the first place to let them take a glow stick and find the professor and Kansa separately.
Just as he was thinking that the sound of scratching the wall in the darkness was getting closer and closer, as if it would be in a few minutes, Stern's heart was pounding, and his eyes were trying to open but he still couldn't see anything in the dark, and he thought to himself that the thing was mostly the sound of scratching the wall, so he dragged Kansa away from the wall as best he could. However, there was no high-brightness lighting tool in his hand, so Stern had to take a step forward, grab the glow stick on the ground, wave his hand around, and try to see what was in the dark.
I saw that in the fluorescent hazy light, dozens of fluffy and slender black withered hands seemed to grow on the edge of the stone wall!
When Stern saw the slender black hand that suddenly grew on the wall, he immediately remembered the withered hand that had grabbed Anne under the banyan tree! Frightened, he pulled Kansa and shouted and stepped back.
Kansa in the dark was already in a state of fright, and before he could see what it was, he was pulled back by Stern for a while, thinking that he was pulled by something terrifying, so frightened that he quickly broke away from Stern, and then stood up and ran straight away! didn't know that he had already been targeted by the black hand on the wall, and as soon as seven or eight hand claws grabbed it directly, Kansa suddenly disappeared...
Stern didn't catch Kansa's hand, he had to retreat again and again, he didn't even notice when Kansa was gone, but he accidentally touched the hairy hand behind his back.
Stern was already terrified to the extreme at this time, so frightened that he didn't dare to move, terrible, he was still sensible, he immediately took out the dagger and slashed behind him, just to get a burst of psychological comfort, the dagger just hit the terrifying black hand in the back, but the black hand reacted quickly and immediately dodged, so his dagger was equivalent to a pounce.
Stern thought to himself that this black hand could actually dodge the dagger, which was too fast, he froze, stiffly held the glow stick and looked back, and found that the black hand had disappeared!
He thought to himself, what's going on? Is this grotto really haunted? Then he took a picture left and right, and then he realized that Kansa was gone! Stern, who had been holding his hand two minutes ago, now felt that compared to the horror of seeing the black hand on the wall, Kansa's sudden disappearance was the cause of Stern's psychological breakdown. He suddenly had the slightest idea of dying with the terrifying black hand in the darkness, so Stern shuddered and opened his backpack to find the grenades inside, but he saw a few candles scattered in the bag, as well as a change of clothes. Seeing these things, he calmed down a little, and thought to himself that even if he died, he would die well.
