Chapter 137: Sewers (3)
The light of the flashlight tore through the corner of the darkness, and the light slowly moved forward, and the world was swallowed up by endless darkness again. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
The sound of the loss gradually faded away. Now I can't hear a single sound outside. The whole world is terrifyingly quiet, and deep underground, that silence will make you shudder. In the tunnel, the visual range is very small, and the projection to the optic nerve is easy to give people a strong sense of depression. I felt the balance of excitation and inhibition in my cerebral cortex being disrupted, and I was constantly worried about whether the dirt would bury me alive if it collapsed. Coupled with the lack of oxygen the deeper I went, my breathing became more rapid, and sweat soaked through my clothes.
I gritted my teeth and continued to walk inside, when suddenly a three-way intersection appeared in front of me. Standing here, I'm ...... confused and don't know which path to choose. I took the flashlight and shone it inside, but I found that I couldn't see the end at a glance.
Which path should I choose?
I looked around and saw that my parents had left no trace. This is really a headache, and if you don't have any confidence in choosing a path, there will be a 1 in 2 chance that your parents will miss it.
I was hesitating when I suddenly saw a bright light coming in.
Who is it? I panicked, and just as I wanted to get into a fork in the road to hide, I heard Li Ming's voice: "Qiu Ci, don't be afraid, it's us!" ā
Li Ming, why did they come down?
After a while, Li Ming, Shen Shuang, and Tian Tian walked here, and the originally not spacious underground passage became crowded.
Seeing that the way back was tightly blocked by the three of them, the sweat on my forehead became more and more at this time.
"We're worried about you, so we're all down." Li Ming said. "Why don't you leave?"
I wiped the sweat from my forehead, pointed to the two forks in front of me and said with a wry smile: "I also want to go, I don't know which one to choose?" ā
Shen Shuang poked his head out from behind, stared at the fork in front of him, and said, "When uncle and aunt enter the door, are you used to which leg to step first?" ā
"Which leg first?" I was stunned for a moment, and suddenly understood that Shen Shuang was tactfully asking my parents if they had any obsessive-compulsive disorder. If they are in the same situation as us, they are likely to choose the route that the subconscious mind.
But I don't think they have any examples of OCD. Maybe they do, but I haven't cared about it. So I shook my head and said, "I don't know about that." ā
"Then uncle, you choose a path, and we'll go over and have a look. If we don't find it, we turn it back. Then came a sweet voice.
Until now, there was no better way.
I closed my eyes and pondered for a moment. Then choose one of the passages on the left without hesitation.
This passage is particularly humid.
The walls "tick tick tick! "Dripping water.
From time to time, cold water droplets fall into the neck, and in the cold winter, the body is steaming, and every step is like torture.
I took off my shirt, put it on my head, and headed inside.
Walking, walking.
Suddenly, I felt as if there was something in front of me, so I quickly turned off the flashlight.
Darkness filled the entire passage in an instant, and it was pitch black, and you couldn't see your fingers.
Directly in front, there is a faint light in the hair.
"Click!" Li Ming didn't know why I turned off the flashlight, so he turned it on.
"Turn it off!"
"Huh?" Li Ming was puzzled for a moment, then turned off the flashlight, "What?" Is there anything up front? ā
This tunnel was originally very narrow, and it was normal for me to walk in front to cover their vision, and Li Ming didn't see it.
So, I half-squatted down and whispered, "Look ahead!" ā
There was still a flickering light ahead.
When I saw the light, my heart rose to my throat. Entering the underground passage, I have always been ambivalent. One is to hope that there are people in here, and the other is to hope that there is nothing here. I know that these are two strange and contradictory psychology, and I can't explain it myself.
Slowly getting closer, the front is getting brighter and brighter.
Finally I saw it clearly.
In front is a twenty-square-meter room, with a candle on a stone pier in the middle of the room.
In the darkness of the world, the candles glow red and eerie.
When I entered this room, I saw the furnishings inside: in addition to this table, there was a stone bed against the wall, which was covered with weeds. In front of the bed is a quaint wooden table. On the walls are pictures of singers from the eighties and nineties of the last century, and there is a tunnel in the lower left that leads to nowhere.
"Someone living here?" Shen Shuang touched the table.
"Yes. Otherwise, there would be no such burning candle. After saying that, I walked to the table, opened the first drawer, and found a book inside: "Hypnotism: A Study of Freud's Psychology" by Yongxi.
This is written by Yongxi? This is the second time I've seen his writings. Such a knowledgeable person may have helped me, and thinking of this, I packed this book in my backpack.
Then open the second drawer.
The second drawer was full of women's toiletries, and I picked up one of the bottles and glanced at the date on it: [October 10, 2016], which looked like it had just been bought.
Someone lives in this tiny room, and nine times out of ten it's a woman. But why did she read Yongxi's book? I can't figure out who this guy really is.
So, I opened the third drawer, and to my shock, it was a thick pile full of pictures of Yongxi.
I took him out of the drawer, looked at them one by one, and found that they were all photos taken by Yongxi in different scenic spots, and there was no difference. However, the last few photos are photos of Yongxi and Deng's mother's landlord.
In the photo, the landlord is smiling very happily and hugging Yongxi tightly.
Could it be that this secret room belongs to the landlord?
Seeing these photos, I'm still not quite sure who this room is. The landlord's home is in the Splendid Community, a full twenty kilometers away from here, and according to common sense, this should not be her room.
My mind was spinning rapidly, and the names of several people appeared. The first thing that comes to mind is Xu Chao, this is his territory, most likely his room, but he is still in prison. So it can't be his, so whose is this? His wife's refuge?
While I was guessing, there was a crisp sound in the tunnel.
I ran to the entrance of the cave with an arrow step, and the flashlight in my hand shone inside.
The back of a woman in a red coat appeared in my field of vision.
"Brush!" I pulled out my dagger and ran from inside.
I finally saw a living person, and at this moment I could not have any timidity, three steps into two steps, hunched over and running quickly.
The woman in front of her is relatively obese, and her speed is definitely not as fast as mine.
Suddenly, I grabbed her by the collar and stretched out the knife in my hand: "Don't move, or I'll kill you!" ā
After hearing me say this, she really didn't move, and raised her hands.
"Okay, I'm not moving."
