Chapter 22: The Staircase
I swung my arms frantically, little by little, breaking free of the suction and heading upstream.
There was some blackness in front of my eyes, and I resisted the urge to inhale, and with all my strength, I flew like an arrow. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
But the boundless darkness seemed to be endless, I had used the fastest speed in my life, and still did not touch the water, and my calf suddenly hurt, and at this time I actually had cramps.
The oxygen in my lungs had run out, and I was unwilling to call for help, but I only spit out countless bubbles that rose, and water kept pouring in from my mouth and nose, and I couldn't control my body anymore and began to fall down.
A beam of light shot through, and I vaguely saw a figure with a huge head swimming towards me with a flashlight in its mouth, and I was relieved and fainted directly.
"Poof!"
My abdomen hurt, my mouth opened, and a stream of water rushed out of my throat, I turned to the side, spit a few more mouthfuls of water, and couldn't wait to open my mouth wide and gulp in the oxygen outside.
"Fortunately, I can't wait to go down and take a look, otherwise I will only find your body."
There was a big head sound next to me, I wiped the corners of my mouth, looked up, the big head was covered with water, his hair was split ends, squatting next to me, he saw that I was awake, and asked, "How old is Chen Tian?" He didn't come down? ā
The mushroom lamp above his head emitted a white light, and there was no one around except for the big head, Chen Tianming went into the water in front of me, why hasn't he come out for so long, what is he doing underwater?
I remembered the human-faced fish I had just seen, and when I told the big head, he looked at me in surprise: "The fish has a human face?" Why didn't I see that you almost drowned just now and are still in the mood to be scary? ā
"Play with your sister!" I saw that the big man didn't believe it, and said angrily: "I'll tell you, Chen Tian is very wrong, he may know something." If you don't believe it now, if something weird happens in the future, don't blame me for not saying it. ā
"Hey, I didn't say I didn't believe it," the big head covered my mouth and whispered, "As soon as we met him, I found out that there was something wrong with him, his current way of speaking and movement habits are completely different from what I know, as if he is completely two people." ā
I broke his hand and whispered, "You already knew?" So what do you think? ā
"You said that it could be someone else who changed his face and lurked around us, I think it is very likely, and the face of the human-faced spider is very vivid." Big Head touched his chin and speculated.
"I haven't heard of any technology that can complete the face replacement surgery in a short period of time, and the people in your National Africa Bureau are very knowledgeable, have you really seen anything like this?" I looked at him in amazement.
The big head shook his head and denied: "No matter how powerful the face replacement surgery is, you will see the clues, and it is impossible not to have the slightest trace." ā
"But I don't see anything unnatural about Chen Tian's face, because except for his face, everything else is abnormal." I covered my head, and I couldn't think of how people who had just met for a day could be so weird as if they had changed their brains.
"I don't know what happened to him, but it all may be related to this Spring Mountain, and there is definitely a shocking secret in it!" The big head took out the half box of chocolates from his crotch, took out a few slices and put them in his mouth, and said vaguely.
I rejected the chocolate he handed me, made a disgusted expression, and relaxed.
This guy has a really big heart, and he looks like how I should live when the sky falls, so that I am also infected, and most of the fear that has been haunting my heart since I found out that I can't get out of the mountain has dissipated.
"I found you to be a fit for a special department like the National Africa Bureau." I sighed, "Huh? The big head asked, not understanding what I meant.
At this time, there was movement in the water, and there was a sound of water, and a person crawled out of the water, with strips of cloth tied to his shoulders and a long scar on his face, which was Chen Tian.
He stood on the shore and saw that I was like a big head, and ripped the strip of cloth off my shoulder, revealing a large blood-red scar, and I was amazed at how quickly I recovered.
"Let's go!" Neither Big Head nor I asked him why he came up so late, but Big Head nodded to him and walked on first.
Chen Tian smiled at me, walked a few steps, suddenly bent down and hugged his head, the blue tendons on his forehead exploded, his expression became very painful, I looked wrong, and asked, "What's wrong with you?" ā
He returned to normal in an instant, but his eyes, nose, ears, and mouth all flowed out of thin blood, this is the seven-hole bleeding, I saw someone suddenly bleeding from the seven holes in front of me for the first time, and smiled at me very naturally.
The horror of the smile was indescribable, and I didn't dare to look at him at all, so I ran forward as fast as I could.
I told the big head about Chen Tian's sudden bleeding from seven holes, but the big head just glanced at Chen Tian lightly, gave me a look, and continued to walk forward.
I walked very depressed, always peeking at Chen Tian, for fear that he would suddenly go crazy and attack me and Datou, but we were pleasantly surprised by the fact that there was an upward staircase a few hundred meters away, which was likely to be an exit to the ground.
Datou looked at the empty passage in front of him and said to Chen Tian, "Let's take the stairs." ā
I agreed, and Chen Tian did not express his opinion, he had rarely spoken since the seven holes were bleeding, and he was silent like a mute.
As soon as I entered the staircase, my head seemed to have been pricked by a needle, and it hurt a little, and recently I have been suffering from a sudden headache that made me wonder if I had a stroke.
"Youwei, let's go!" The big head turned back to me and barked.
"Here we go!" Patting my forehead, I sighed secretly, because I rarely go to the hospital, I don't know what is going on with this symptom, if I have the life to go back, I must do a full body physical examination, and twice a year.
Climbing two flights of stairs, there was no entrance to the upper floor, only old and even somewhat rotten walls, we climbed two more floors, and there were still walls around us.
I began to wonder if there was an exit to this staircase, and continued to climb five floors, and sure enough, as I guessed, the big head's expression changed, and he suddenly exclaimed, "Not good! "Reflexively ran down.
Chen Tian kept his head down, just following us, I didn't dare to stay with him alone, and when I saw the big head running downstairs, I secretly scolded him for throwing me down like a convulsion, and also ran downstairs.
The sound of footsteps behind me came from the back of my head, my scalp was a little numb, Chen Tian ran so fast but kept following my back, what did he want to do?
The faster I ran, the faster I looked, I didn't look at the road under my feet, my right foot stepped on the air, accidentally planted down, fortunately caught the railing in time, I heard Chen Tian's footsteps behind me slow down, approaching me, I was stunned, not waiting to stand up and even roll down the ground and crawl.
Descending the ninth floor, I saw the big head standing against the railing, panting and running to him, asking, "Why don't you come out of ......?"
I looked in the direction of the passage we had entered, which had been blocked by old stone walls, and the stairs in front of me stretched down as if leading to an unknown abyss......
