Chapter 399: Through the Bloody Labyrinth
Quetzaltenango is the second largest city in Guatemala and the capital of the province of Quetzaltenango, located at the foot of the volcano of Santa Maria, at an altitude of 2,334 meters.
Guatemala is one of the main birthplaces of black witchcraft in Central America, in addition to the black witchcraft pope in the country, there are a variety of strange witchcraft schools, spell casting methods and witchcraft materials 'flowers' variety, than the traditional Chinese sense of Miaojiang Gu magic 10,000 times more complicated.
The "Black Witchcraft Blood Cave" mentioned by Donna is on the back 'shade' side of the Santa Maria volcano, which was originally a natural rock 'cave' with beautiful scenery, and the inner 'hole' and 'cave' are surrounded to form a natural 'labyrinth' palace. In addition, there is a fairy 'girl' hot stream that seeps out from the spring in the center of the mountain, and the water temperature is as high as 50 degrees Celsius, attracting tens of thousands of tourists every year.
Around 1995, the rock 'cave' changed overnight, and the hot creek became a blood stream, and the rock 'cave' was painted with blood with various black witchcraft curse symbols. At the same time, more than 400 tourists who entered the mountain disappeared at the same time. More and faster chapters here. Forensic experts used high-tech DNA testing equipment to distinguish the blood, which was completely consistent with the blood characteristics of the missing tourists. As a result, the rock 'cave' was immediately blocked by the Guatemalan authorities, and the nearby ten kilometers were designated as a dangerous forbidden area, and received the infamy of "black witchcraft blood cave".
Donna mentioned this strange event, and the meaning of it was self-evident, that is, it was very likely that someone in the darkness smeared a large number of curse symbols on the stone walls with blood, so that the air was filled with a terrible smell of blood.
Lin Xuan took a deep breath and responded in a low voice: "This is not Guatemala, it has nothing to do with black witchcraft, don't think about it."
Donna immediately asked, "So, where should this be?" Are we in Asia, Europe, or somewhere else? In the dark, anything was possible, because I even smelled the dried 'flowers' of Australian double-bud hyacinths......"
Before Lin Xuan could answer, Tang Na sighed again and continued: "Forget it, forget it, I can't think about it anymore, because that will affect your judgment as soon as it is updated now, I only listen to you, what do you do, I will sacrifice my life to accompany you."
"Don't be in a hurry, settle down and let me take care of it." Lin Xuan comforted Tang Na in a low voice.
"Okay, I'll listen to you, I'll listen to you......" Donna let out a long breath.
The two were silent for a while, and a qiē sound disappeared in the darkness, and only the sound of each other's heartbeats could be heard.
"If we are facing a qiē like the 'Black Witchcraft Blood Cave', there is no escaping it. We slipped down from an extremely high place, and it was impossible to go backwards, only to break through the darkness and move forward, which was the only option. If you don't get out of the labyrinth, you're going to die here. Don't be afraid of anything, let me bear it." After Lin Xuan said this, he rubbed his palms, and the heat in his palms increased greatly, emitting a faint coal-like light.
As the light intensified, it illuminated a small stone wall on the side.
The stone wall was unusually smooth, as if it had been carefully polished, showing a dark red 'color' texture, and above that texture, there was a bubbling red 'color' liquid.
It is like a living animal being dissected longitudinally, and the dynamic functioning of the blood vessels in its body is fully revealed.
Lin Xuan moved his palm closer to the stone wall, and the two of them could see more clearly, those branch-like textures were indeed like blood vessels extending in all directions, but the surface was extremely smooth, as if covered with a transparent film.
"Try it and see if it gets on your hands?" Lin Xuan commanded.
Donna reached out and 'touched' the "blood vessels" with her fingertips, making sure that they were covered by a "film" and would not leak out.
"If the source of the smell of blood isn't them, it must be—" Lin Xuan sniffed slightly, determined that the main source of the smell was the right front, and then strode forward.
They walked seventy steps to the right front, only to find themselves in a narrow cul-de-sac with no way out of the road.
Lin Xuan commanded in a low voice: "You stand here and don't move, I'll go to the front. Pay attention to the top of your head, if there is no 'door' into the ground, the way out must be from above."
The faint light emitted by the palm of the hand can only illuminate the eyes, a meter away, extremely blurry.
The reason why he arranged it this way was that he didn't want Donna to enter the dangerous place, and would rather go alone to explore the way first.
Lin Xuan walked ten steps forward, until he reached the end of the dead end, slowly raised his hand upward, and vaguely saw that there was an oval 'hole' at a height of about three meters, with a diameter of about one meter, and it was from there that the smell of blood came from. More and faster chapters here.
"Is that a way to survive or a dead end? If you go in, will you survive in a desperate situation or will you fall into the net?" Lin Xuan hesitated under the 'hole' that he accidentally discovered.
In many adventure materials, there are ghost monsters setting up complex passages to guard the plot. Explorers sneak through the labyrinth, ecstatic at the sudden discovery of the exit, unaware that it is the monster's weirdly open jaw.
"Bloody mouths? The mouth of the 'hole' that smells of blood...... What to do? What to do?" Lin Xuan put down his palm and closed his eyes in contemplation.
After repeated comparisons and calculations, he still chose to move forward.
"In this case, God blocks and kills God, Buddha blocks and kills Buddha, fight in one breath!" He told himself in the bottom of his heart.
The two of them used a human ladder to enter the oval 'hole', which was nothing to the two well-trained special operations masters. The scary thing is that this space is still a 'labyrinth' of extreme darkness. The two of them had their previous experience, and after quickly exploring the confined space, they found a 'hole' diagonally downward. In this repeated search for the 'hole' opening. [,! In the process, the two no longer pay attention to where the smell of blood comes from, but go all out to find an outlet.
Lin Xuan had always had a strange feeling in his heart, the two of them seemed to be 'messing around' in the belly of a man-eating monster.
"What does the dark end look like? Is it safe and sound, and the whole body retreats, or just left the tiger's mouth and entered the wolf's 'den'?" He asked himself this question in his heart, but there was no answer. The only thing that made him feel gratified was that Donna was by his side, which filled his heart with great courage to overcome obstacles and not flinch.
In the battle of the ghost lake, he couldn't be by Donna's side, and she jumped into the mysterious lake crack alone. He was so remorseful that he couldn't kill himself by swallowing a gun on the shore of the lake as a way to apologize to Donna. Fortunately, Heaven gave him another chance to take care of Donna, so that his withered love was rejuvenated again. This time, he couldn't miss it again.
In the midst of his hurried running, he slowed down several times and waited for Donna to catch up.
He didn't speak, but the heart that loved her hung cautiously, always keeping an eye on her.
Finally, after breaking through the 'labyrinth' more than a dozen times, there was suddenly light in front of the two of them.
The light is a hundred paces away, and after passing through this long square tunnel in front of you, you should be able to stand under the light again.
Donna suddenly collapsed and staggered to the ground.
"Right there...... We're finally out......" Donna covered her mouth with an unusually painful expression, "I felt that disgusting smell of blood filling my lungs, as if I had just crawled out of a pile of dead people."
Lin Xuan nodded, sat down cross-legged, and let Donna rest on her 'legs'.
There is indeed light ahead, but what is behind the light? No one can be sure that there is no danger in a safe environment, and he has been through a hundred battles and knows the truth of "the undercurrent surging under still water". Therefore, he is not in a hurry to rush out to embrace the light and breathe fresh air, but to rest in place and wait for his body to recover before slowly walking out.
"How are you?" Donna asked, looking up.
"Luckily, the wilderness survival training I received in the past was not much better than this one. So, just now in the dark, I completely thought of myself as a recruit who was going through extreme training for the first time. When I think about it that way, I feel much calmer." Lin Xuan smiled in return.
"Indeed, the first time I received extreme training in the army, I first carried a weight-bearing marathon in the night, then climbed rocks with bare hands, swam in ice water, and had to cross a 15-kilometer-long wild beast gathering area by myself. At that time, I witnessed my companion being ambushed by a mongoose and having his throat torn open with a hole-sized in the mouth of the bowl...... For a recruit, that's really scary, but fortunately, I survived the initial intensive training and eventually stepped out of the extreme training camp as an excellent graduate." Thinking of the past, Donna also has a smile on her face.
After being silent for a while, Lin Xuan pretended to ask casually, "Tang Na, what do you think of the mirror universe and the parallel universe?"
Donna was puzzled: "What? Why do you suddenly ask such a question?"
Lin Xuan smiled: "It's nothing, it's just that I suddenly remembered this kind of very mysterious question. At that time, what did you think when you jumped off the ghost lake?"
He skillfully shifts the subject and avoids the point to be asked. Now, he must determine if Donna has appeared in another parallel world.
"I just want to find out the secret of the ghost lake by myself, as a top Russian explorer, I have the heavy responsibility of defending the honor of the country and realizing the value of life, so I refuse to miss any opportunity to break through the dilemma of solving the mystery at the first time Update At that time, the ghost lake was magically divided into two, 'exposed' out of the beach below, gravel, like the mythical Dragon Palace treasure 'door' opened. I'm sure any explorer would have made the same choice as me at the time – and you're no exception, right?" A flame of hope lit up in Donna's eyes.
Lin Xuan smiled: "Tang Na, haven't your instructors and superiors taught you to follow the operational principle of 'safety first' at all times?"
Donna nodded: "Of course I did."
Human life is only once, but there are infinite opportunities to perform tasks. Only by protecting one's own 'life' can we accomplish more tasks for the country and the organization to the greatest extent. The way of teaching that does not care about the life and death of the team members and encourages them to take risks is completely wrong, and only extremist organizations and cult followers will adopt it. As for the "human 'flesh' bomb, car bomb" and other "kill a thousand enemies, self-damage 800" style of play, it is even more stupid.
"Next time, before taking action, be sure to do what you can and make the most accurate judgment about the situation around you. If you go, you will advance, and if you can't, you will retreat, you know?" Lin Xuan, like an instructor who is good at 'seducing', points out Donna's mistakes in a relaxed chat, and then teaches her further.
Donna nodded: "I know, but after this incident, I have added a new worldview and values to my life, and I will not act impulsively as before."
She grabbed Lin Xuan's hand, pressed it against her face, and whispered: "From now on, every moment and every moment, I will first consider your existence. This is my deepest remorse after falling into a secret passage that I cannot go back to."
Lin Xuan keenly sensed the point of Tang Na's words, and then asked with a smile: "Do you think you can find the secret by entering the crack of the ghost lake?" As a result, they were imprisoned in the boundless darkness of unknown time and world, until the cliff collapsed, and they did not find their way?"
Donna nodded and admitted: "That's right, I just kept suspecting that I was dreaming during the rush, obviously I have been buried at the bottom of the mountain, how could I be suddenly saved. [,! And, the first time I'm saved, I'll see you—"
This conversation made Lin Xuan understand that the "Donna" in front of him was the real Donna, and the "Donna" that appeared in the blue 'color' three-dimensional ocean and the later "Donna" may all be another person named "Donna" who appeared in the parallel universe.
For Lin Xuan, that "Donna" is a short-lived passer-by in his life, although his facial features and appearance are the same, but he is not the person he is looking for.
Of course, for that "Donna", Lin Xuan is also a passerby in another time and space, and he can't keep it, just empty memories.
This kind of scene is extremely similar to the plot of a movie called "The Time Traveler's Wife" that Lin Xuan had seen before, but it was a fantasy movie made up by the screenwriter and performed by the actors, and the qiē in front of him was his personal experience.
"That's probably the best ending, isn't it?" He wrapped his arms around Donna's emaciated shoulders and whispered with both self-deprecation and happiness.
