Unexpectedly, Stern heard such a sentence from Anne's mouth, and the key was that this sentence made him shiver for no reason. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 He has never seen what a ghost looks like in reality, but it is described in many novels, and even many friends have talked about their ghost when they are bored at night, although this only exists in the human imagination.

But since entering the reincarnation city, Stern has indeed seen a few "ghosts"! The "ghosts" of his Vietnam teammates in nightmares, the "headless ghosts" he encountered when he was looking for Downey in the banyan maze, then the giant green eyes that came and went without a trace in the hollow of the banyan tree, and then the ghost phenomenon caused by electromagnetism mentioned by Professor Morrill in the boulder maze, and even the shadow that he saw faintly under the stone steps later, the ghost hand on the grotto wall...... The more Stern thought about it, the more frightened he became, especially now that his eyes were not swollen and he was almost blind, he seemed particularly panicked.

Stern had to feign his composure and continued to ask Anne, "What is the ghost up there?" Is it a specific ghost image or just a creature that looks like a ghost, because I remember you said that the reliefs on it are all carved about Brahmins raising all kinds of strange creatures in a stone chamber. ”

"Yes, I'm also very surprised that the other six paintings all depict similar species of creatures such as tarantulas, giant snakes, etc., which can be used as references in reality. However, this one is only carved with countless dry and thin ghost hands sticking out of the wall, and it is very realistically carved. ”

"Perhaps...... What about just human hands? ”

Stern tried to hide his fears, as if he had a premonition of an answer. He had already recalled the horrific scene he had seen under the grotto.

"If it's a human hand, why don't you just draw a complete human figure? Instead, he drew a bunch of hands there, still dry and skinny, and it felt like a ghost was coming out of the wall. ”

"I quite agree with Anne's statement, Anne will not easily say that there are ghosts, but this relief really seems to have a ghost struggling to come out of the wall, which is creepy to see." At this time, Donnie's suspicious voice also reached Stern's ears, and Stern now heard the real feelings of the ghost wall relief revealed in the words of the two.

"Click... Click..."

The clicking sound that came from nowhere startled everyone suddenly, and Stern was also frightened, and immediately stood up against the wall, listening carefully to the sudden movement.

"What... What's the sound? Why so suddenly? Isn't it... Why did you come here as soon as you finished speaking?" said Donnie incoherently.

"Click... Click..."

"Oh no, it's coming from the spiral staircase, you go and see if those tarantulas have escaped?"

"No... No way! Donnie stared at the stone door and said, "I remember we didn't seal the holes in those tarantula chambers?" We don't have the strength to fight these tarantulas anymore! ”

"Whether it's a tarantula or not, I'm already climbing the spiral staircase outside the door, and it seems that whatever is behind this stone door, we'll have to get there." Anne approached Stern and grabbed his arm: "How is the sergeant?" ”

Stern had wanted to wait a little longer to find out where the hidden stone door led to later, but the change came so quickly that they were caught in a dilemma and turned into an either/or situation. If you stay where you are, no matter what kind of thing comes in, there is a good chance that it will be either a tarantula or some other strange creature, and it is estimated that the Khmer people will raise them with living people, and it is estimated that they will pounce on them when they see a living person. In this way, there will inevitably be a burst of resistance, but they are now unarmed, and even hand-to-hand combat has no strength. And if you choose to open the secret door, it is to face all the unexpected things behind the secret door, especially the ghost hand on the relief just discussed is likely to indicate the situation behind the secret door, so whether it is a blessing or a curse depends on their luck.

Thinking of this, Stern gritted his teeth and said, "No matter, let's open the secret door first!" ”

Anne answered and called the taller Donnie to turn the sandalwood lotus lamp on the stone wall, and then waited with Stern Kansa beside him, staring at the gap in the stone wall, but who knew that Downey thought that the sandalwood lotus lamp was difficult to turn, so he turned around very hard, and then only heard a click behind the stone wall, and then there was a low sound of heavy objects lifting, just when everyone thought that the secret door was about to open, but only heard a bang, and the originally open stone door suddenly closed automatically!

This sudden change startled Donnie, he always thought that the secret door in front of him would open, so he also planned to hide back, but unexpectedly, the secret door was intact, but he saw that the stone door by the spiral ladder closed itself. Just froze motionless.

Unable to see, Stern thought that the stone door had been opened, so he asked Anne what was behind the door, but Anne told him that the secret door was not open, and that the stone door, which had been open, had suddenly closed. Stern was also shocked when he heard this, wondering what was going on. Could it be that he was mistaken, the lotus lantern mechanism that was supposed to open the secret door was actually the mechanism that closed the spiral stone door.

Just as Stern was puzzled for a while, there was another clicking sound in the stone wall, and after a while, Donnie's voice followed: "Oh no! I... I think I've broken the Lotus Lantern Mechanism! ”

Anne turned her head at the first hearing of Donnie's voice, and then saw the lotus lamp in his left hand and asked him what was the matter.

At this time, Donnie also had a look of disaster on his face, and stood next to the bronze statue in a daze. It wasn't until Anne asked him what had happened.

It turned out that Donnie first turned the lotus lantern to the left half a circle according to Anne said, but found that the stone door was unexpectedly closed, he was stunned for a while, and then thought that this lotus lantern was a two-way mechanism, which could control the opening and closing of two stone doors at the same time.

So Donnie turned to the right for most of the time without thinking about it, but he didn't expect him to turn it so casually, and the lotus lantern became loose. At that time, he already felt that the lotus lantern was a little strange, and just when he was at a loss, the lotus lantern bounced out of the bronze statue's hand. After feeling the lotus lantern popping out, he panicked and wanted to press the lotus lantern down and return to its original position, but then he couldn't recover to its original position, so he had to take the lotus lantern down.

"You bring me the lotus lantern to see." So Donnie handed the lotus lantern to Anne.

"Why is this lotus lantern so heavy?" Anne said this after taking the lotus lantern from Donnie's hand.

When Stern heard this, he anxiously asked her, "How is it?" Do you see what's so special coming about? ”

"This lotus lamp is very heavy, not like it is made of pure sandalwood, and at first glance there is nothing special about it, it is a copper-plated ebony candlestick rosette, with a slender stem attached to the bottom. The craftsmanship is quite in the style of the Khmer Kingdom, but I can't see how it controls the mechanism of this stone gate? ”

"Maybe it's connected to the bronze statue of the fairy to form a complete mechanism."

"Look at this secret door! It's as if a painting has appeared on it! Donnie suddenly pointed to the secret door and shouted in surprise.
