Chapter Seventy-Four: Where Is Your Shadow?

(The update is delivered, and it will continue tomorrow.) ）

This man has been hanging here for I don't know how many years, and when the searchlight shines up from below, all I can see is the white face that has been blistered to the point of extreme expansion.

It hasn't rotted yet, and it shouldn't have been long since it died. My heart said. And judging from the clothes of this person, he is also a modern person, at least this post-80s generation at the latest. But how did he end up here? I looked around and didn't find the man's diving equipment. How did he get into this building without diving equipment?

I fixed my mind and went upstream to see the corpse.

It's a male corpse. A rope around his neck hung him from the roof. Hang oneself? That's not right, you're full of food and you sneak into this hellish place to hang yourself? And even if he hangs himself here, he can't be hanged under the buoyancy of the water. I took advantage of the thrust of the water to look around the corpse and noticed that the corpse was in a strange position.

The joints on all of his limbs were twisted in a particularly strange way, as if someone had forcibly twisted his joints with an external force. And I also noticed that there were no strangulation marks on his neck. How is it possible that a person who hanged himself and was strangled did not have even a single strangulation mark on his neck? I was stunned, and my heart said that this person did not commit suicide but he killed him? Damn, the person who killed him is also perverted enough, and after killing him, he will be brought here to hang, what kind of hatred and grudge?

I was still thinking about it, but I didn't want something to hit my back with the current. I was caught off guard and was photographed on the wall. Before I could turn around, I suddenly felt a tingling sensation in my back. Apparently something stabbed me.

The tingling passed all at once, and I didn't pay much attention to it. Unexpectedly, after a few seconds, an electrocution-like paralysis began to spread from his back to his whole body. I realized that I might have been stung by some bug in the water, and immediately wanted to open my mouth and call for Ali to come and help me. But now I found that even my tongue was tingling, and I couldn't move at all.

With less limb interaction in the water, I quickly fell from the wall to the ground.

I was about to roll my eyes to find Ali's location, but I didn't expect a feeling of suffocation to hit me.

It's over, could it be that the oxygen has run out. I subconsciously wanted to raise my hand to get the barometer. But after a few attempts, I realized that I couldn't even move my fingers in my whole body now.

I began to breathe heavily. It can be found that although the nostrils are maximally dilated, very little oxygen enters the nasal cavity. Gradually, the view began to blur, and the beam from the searchlight turned into a particularly large spot of light. I blinked and tried to stay conscious, but after a few attempts I knew it was over, and there was no way to resist this mental attack. I started to feel sleepy, and my eyes opened and closed a few times before falling asleep completely.

That's right, I'm not dead yet. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to describe all these things in front of the computer now. Before I passed out completely, I saw a figure approaching me. If that's right, it's Ali.

Before I woke up, I had a dream. It's a simple, simple dream. The background of the dream was a gray color, and there was a person standing with his back to me. From the back, it's a woman. I don't know why, but my body involuntarily walked towards her. But then I found out that no matter how I walked, she kept her distance from me. An inexplicable anxiety rose in my heart, and I began to run towards her. But as you can imagine, I still can't get close to her.

That's what the whole dream is about. When I woke up, I even had the feeling that I had already run around the equator.

When I woke up, I realized that I was lying on the ground. Really on the ground. This made me a little inexplicably happy.

Then I saw Ali sitting next to me. At her feet was a wind lamp, a flickering flame illuminating the wall in front of her.

On the wall, there is a wall here. I digested the information a little. If there is a wall, how can there be a wall? Am I at home? No, the walls of my house are not like this.

My eyes fell on my hands, I noticed the wetsuit I was wearing, and all the information came flooding back for a moment. Ximatang, a huge building at the bottom of the lake, the building enshrines the incense of my Wei family, and the body that hanged in the house later seemed to faint.

"Brother, you're finally awake." Ali noticed that I was awake and moved the lantern to my side. Practically and psychologically, the pale yellow light from the wind lamp made me feel warm. It's like being blessed by a mage's magic in the game, and I feel my strength slowly recovering.

"Where is this?" I sat up with my body propped up, but after trying to fail, I was about to lie down again, but Ali helped me up.

"It's cold on the ground, just sit when you wake up." Ali said, "We are inside the Ximatang Mausoleum. ”

"Inside?" I was stunned for a moment, "We're not"

Ali smirked, "I found a tunnel in that room," she said, holding out a finger and slashing it in front of me, "Whoa—straight to here." ”

"No wonder you dare to let He Tao and them go first, it turns out that it is—no, what about He Tao and them?"

"Don't worry, they're fine. The design drawing is on Brother Hetao, and it will be safe to follow that design drawing. Ali said, and as she spoke, I saw her sigh: "Alas, brother, I see that you are still worried about us now." ”

"Worried about us?" I was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously looked around. We are now at the end of a cemetery. There is a two- or three-meter-square waterhole here, and it is pitch black at the other end, and I don't know where it leads. "What's wrong with us?" I asked.

"We can't get out for a while." Ali propped her head, looking a little depressed.

"How?"

Ali pointed to the waterhole next to her, "That's where we came in." ”

"Then let's get out of here again." I said it as a matter of course.

"Brother," Ali smiled wryly, and then pointed to the diving gear that was taken off the side, "Your oxygen ran out when you were in that room." And I ran out of oxygen when I swam with you. ”

I thought to myself, isn't it bad luck? "Can we swim out with a breath in our breath, then?"

Ali smiled bitterly again: "Brother, you fainted at the time, you didn't know that from the thief hole in the house to here, at least two hundred meters." As she spoke, Ali stretched out her hand and measured the length: "As far as I know, no one has been able to swim so far in one breath." ”

"Then let's go this way." As I spoke, I pointed to the other side of the graveyard. "Find Hetao and them, they should still have a surplus of oxygen. If it doesn't work, let them go up and bring enough oxygen down to save us. ”

"It's not like I've never thought of this method." Ali said, "But the blueprint is not in my possession, and I don't know the way." ”

As soon as I heard this, I was stunned and hurriedly asked her, "Why don't you bring such an important thing with you?" ”

Ali was also a little aggrieved when I said this: "You said it, Brother He Tao is our own person, we can trust him - you said so, then I naturally did it." He sniffled as he spoke.

I was most afraid that the girl would cry, so I hurriedly stopped: "Hey, okay, anyway, they're in here, let's follow this road to find it." Make a few more noises along the way to get their attention, and you'll always find them. ”

Ali nodded, sniffed and began to clean up the above things.

I saw that she didn't continue to cry, and I was relieved, and said in my heart that as long as He Tao and the others were in this mausoleum, then we would have a way to get out. Thinking about it made me relax.

But before I could catch my breath, I saw something that creeped me out.

When Ali was cleaning up the wind lamp, there was no shadow of her on the wall under the light of the wind lamp.
