Chapter 5 of the Chinese New Year Short Story

As consciousness slowly returned, the first thing I felt was the cold sensation of something on one cheek. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info I opened my eyes suddenly, but there was only a blinding light as far as I could see. The light was eerie and inexplicable, like staring at a huge sun up close, and it made me dizzy.

I hurriedly closed my eyes again, turned over, and groped around with my hands, there seemed to be two very low walls on either side of my body, and I didn't have time to think about it, so I grabbed the upper end of the wall with both hands and sat up with my body propped up.

As soon as I sat up, and before I could open my eyes again, a sharp pain suddenly came from the back of my head. This sudden feeling was extremely strong, as if someone was using a stick to insert it into the brain, which not only hurt but also made my brain a mess.

I sat with my eyes closed, my hands on the back of my head, rubbing and rubbing, and my brain had no time to think about anything other than to try to alleviate the pain. I don't know how long it took until the pain subsided, and my consciousness returned to normal again......

it! Dr. Koh didn't remind me that it hurt so much! I cursed, I took a deep breath, and then I opened my eyes again. This time, what I saw was no longer the dazzling light, but the vision became clear and abnormal, and I could see everything in the vicinity very clearly.

I looked around briefly, barely a circle, and was sure that I was in an old burial chamber. He sighed self-deprecatingly, shook his head, and inevitably smiled bitterly in his heart, Dr. Xu's words were really right, and he was really looking for weaknesses. I'm sure if someone asks me, what's the last place you want to go? I will definitely answer without hesitation, Tomb.

The structure of the tomb is very simple, about 100 square meters, surrounded by the tomb wall made of old blue-gray bricks, and some simple patterns are carved more or less at the top of the tomb wall, and there is no strange and peculiar place.

In one of the tomb walls, there is a small bronze door that is more than one person high, and the bronze door can be seen to be made of dark green bronze, and there is no excessive pattern embellishment, which is really nothing special, but obviously this small bronze door is the only entrance and exit of this tomb.

The interior of the burial chamber was empty, with no furnishings except for a sarcophagus in the center that could accommodate about one person.

The material of this sarcophagus does not look special, it is made of ordinary blue-gray stone polished and carved, still any pattern embellishment, simple and old, but on top of the sarcophagus, but there is no coffin lid.

The inside of the sarcophagus was nothing but me. Yes, I was sitting in the sarcophagus in the center of the burial chamber. When I sat up before, the hands supported by the coffin wall on both sides of the sarcophagus were naturally not very low, but the coffin walls on both sides of the sarcophagus......

I sat in the sarcophagus in a daze, and looked around again, I was sure that this simple burial chamber had never existed in my memory, but why did it give me an extremely strong sense of familiarity? It felt like I'd been here a thousand times, and I knew it to the fullest.

He touched the wall of the coffin on his side again with his hand, and suddenly a cold feeling spread along his fingertips, and his heart was shocked, and he reached out in disbelief and pinched his cheek fiercely. it! This pinch, it was really good to cry out of pain.

I rubbed my swollen cheeks, but my heart was full of doubts, what was going on, was this really just an illusion? It's so real to see and feel that it's hard to believe it's just a dream.

For a moment, I hesitated, and began to look left and right again, and there was nothing in the whole chamber except for the sarcophagus under me. Obviously, my only way out was the bronze door, but where did this unusually familiar feeling come from?

After thinking about it for a while, although I still didn't remember where this familiarity came from, I suddenly realized another anomaly, damn it! Empty?! There were no lighting fixtures such as lanterns in this tomb, and theoretically there should be a vast darkness in this tomb. But at this time, I can really see everything, and without any light source, my vision is not affected in any way!

So abnormal! Sure enough, it's a dream! In my heart, I affirmed my judgment. Since it was just a dream, my mood relaxed a little, and I thought about how to find the hidden memory next, while standing up with my hands on the coffin wall.

As soon as I got up, there was a crisp sound of "dangchang" in my ears, as if something had fallen on the ground. Kindness? I hurriedly looked back and looked at the bottom of the coffin, only to see a palm-smash-sized, dark black thing falling at the bottom of the coffin.

Hurriedly bent over, picked up the thing, I took it in my hand and looked at it carefully, only then did I understand what it was, it turned out to be a huge key cast from dark black unknown metal.

No way? What's going on here? I held the key in my hand, kept looking left and right, and I didn't see the reason, the question marks in my heart were one after another, could it be that I used the key to open the small bronze door in front of me, and this matter was over? It's not that simple, is it? But then I thought about the case of the veteran that Dr. Xu said, since it is okay to persuade others to open the door, maybe I can also use the key to open the door myself.

After a moment's hesitation, I slowly and cautiously approached the small bronze door and took a closer look. After looking for a long time, not to mention finding any places where the key could be inserted on this old bronze door, even the doorknob, there was no trace. Where is this door? It's clearly an old bronze plate that can't be used anymore, right? I was even more puzzled in my heart, and I couldn't help but tentatively reach out and knock on the bronze door.

As a result, there was no other anomaly except for the sound of "dong dong" echoing around. No way! What the hell is going on? I should have known that Dr. Xu should have introduced a few more useful cases as a guide.

Thinking wildly, his hand tentatively stretched forward and pushed slightly towards the bronze door. A creaking sound came in, and the bronze door was pushed open like this......

it! Looking at the narrow gap that was pushed open, my heart suddenly became uneasy, and I couldn't stop beating wildly, it was really not that simple, it seems that this is the next topic, there won't be any thousand-year-old pythons or wild beasts outside the door waiting for me to go out and die, right?

Psychologically, though, I was prepared for what terrifying monsters I would see, at least I wouldn't be scared out of my mind in an instant. But the problem is that I'm in a situation where I'm going to defeat the other person, or even kill the other person, which seems a bit unrealistic for me who is currently unarmed. I believe that even the dragon-slaying buddy in Dr. Xu's mouth can't be able to beat the evil dragon with his bare hands, right?

After a moment's hesitation, I cautiously took a few more steps forward, deciding to get closer to the gap, thinking that I would probe the truth first.

I held my breath, and I couldn't hear anything in the whole tomb except for the sound of my own sudden and accelerating heartbeat, and cold sweat had already flowed down my forehead unconsciously, and the placket behind my back had already been soaked, and this time, I understood what real fear was.

For example, if you tell me that there is a giant serpent with eight heads, or a dragon with three heads, I will first sketch out the image you describe in my own subjective consciousness, so even if I do see it, I will feel shock at best, but not from the bottom of my heart.

And at this time...... What will be outside the door is completely filled by my own rich imagination, and this fear of the unknown mixed with the accelerant of imagination is simply indescribably terrifying.

My body trembled slightly involuntarily, I took a deep breath, held my breath again, and put my head close to the gap and looked out.

My gaze shot out of the door along the gap, and it seemed to be a stone road with no end in sight, except for the slightly old stone walls on both sides, but it was also empty, and there were no terrifying monsters waiting for my arrival.

My mother, I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief again, wiped the cold sweat on my forehead, and couldn't help but feel a little depressed. Damn, it's not okay to go on like this, this monster hasn't come yet, master, I'm scared half of myself to death first, it seems that this strategy still has to change, it's right to be cautious, but excessive caution becomes a little neurotic.

Thinking of this, I gritted my teeth, put my heart sideways, fuck, it seems that at this time I still have to take out the set that does not change the gold, take one step at a time, the soldiers will block the water to cover the earth, see that the move is the best, without saying a word, no longer think about it, I pushed the bronze door open with force, and walked out......

Walking out of the bronze gate, I had just stepped into the corridor, but I was blindfolded again, because what caught my eye was not a stone corridor, but two corridors with a 90-degree angle and different directions.

At this moment, I couldn't help but start to be a little entangled again, I don't know if there will be any dangerous mechanisms hidden in this corridor, which one can safely lead to the end, I carefully observed the corridor in front of me, and was making plans in my heart, and fell into hesitation for a while.

But right now! Suddenly! A shriveled arm with white hair and unusually long nails sticking out of my back. it! Before I could react, the white-haired monster had already strangled my neck from behind......

Damn it! It was plotted! There's a monster hiding behind the door! In an instant, horror, fear, remorse, sadness, all kinds of emotions were mixed, accompanied by the suffocating pain in my neck, and I tried to struggle again, but it was too late. The white-haired hand that strangled my neck made it extremely difficult for me to breathe, and my brain had lost its ability to dominate my limbs due to severe lack of oxygen, and I had completely lost any ability to resist.

Finished...... I didn't expect this to happen...... I was plotted. This dead person is too wronged, and he doesn't even know what the other party is, so he is confused and wants to say goodbye to that memory forever......

My consciousness became more and more blurred, the scene in front of me slowly dissipated, and the pain gradually disappeared, I really never thought that death was such an experience......
