Chapter 30: The House of the Underworld

The difficult wading through the wild grass, even the smell of rotten branches and leaves is so clear, and the mansion left in the shadows makes people feel weird. Sneer...... Snort. Mu Tianyu stopped, there was an obvious abnormality behind him, he turned around, it was just a pile of weeds, but then, he noticed that the grass was shaking slightly. Snake! He snapped back a few steps, a reptile in his mind. It can't be, they're hibernating right now! Although I was taken aback, my thinking was still clear. He walked cautiously, a slight noise under his feet, as if to attract its attention, and the strangeness in the haystack disappeared again. After much hesitation, he bent down and reached out to push the grass away. "What?" The words in his mouth were slightly surprised, a vine, just inconspicuous, full of wormhole stumps, stretched out a slightly trembling fingertip to touch it, although it was wet, but it was very sticky. "What is this?" Mu Tianyu muttered to himself, he tried to pull it up hard, it was very long with the vine, spreading into the barren grass and not seeing the bottom.

Suddenly, he felt a chill in his hand, and the vines slid through his hand like an eel in the deep sea, and he was very surprised, and he suddenly got up and stepped back. Then, the whole grass began to shake violently, and the sound was like a torrential rain, like a beast lurking in the depths, roaring uneasily. He was stunned by the scene in front of him, but the crazy picture had just been released, and the vines sunk into the grass, freezing the cold air around them, rose from the ground, and the sound was like a long whip swinging frantically. The earth was shaking, Mu Tianyu couldn't stabilize his body, and he retreated in a panic and almost fell, if it weren't for clinging to the weeds around him that were as tall as himself. With a stunned expression, he watched as a huge towering tree shook in anger, and it was tearing apart the house in front of him! It's an earthquake, it's an earthquake! Mu Tianyu guessed in his mind, he looked down and noticed that the ground under his feet was also cracked, at this moment, he was extremely frightened, he was afraid of the disasters of nature, ruthless can destroy anyone. Turning around and trying to escape, the frightened nerves could no longer be suppressed, only the other side of the path was calm, despair had already hallucinated him, he took hasty steps, clutched his head frantically, he couldn't even believe what he saw with his own eyes. However, there was a terrible pain in his left ankle, accompanied by the whole state of weightlessness, and he exclaimed! The line of sight has changed! "Oh, no...... No! He could feel like he had never screamed so heartbreakingly, filled with endless fear and despair of the unknown. Although he was head-down, he was not blind to it, his left leg was entwined by vines, and he was ruthlessly dragged into the abyss of death by the mad tree. The cleft limbs were like a monster opening its mouth, and the unevenly chipped dead wood was like its misshapen teeth. "No!" There was only an unwilling scream in his head, and the surroundings fell into pitch black and silent.

Oh my God, this, what the hell is going on, Mu Tianyu gasped, he looked at the villa in front of him in amazement, and then looked around in a panic. The weeds were desolate, the shady woods obscured the warm winter sun, the horrors of the past were gone, the lawn with rotting leaves was not cracked, and the house was not torn. This, is this an illusion? Only the cold sweat on his forehead rained down, soaking through his clothes and wetting his back. He looked down at his left foot, nothing unusual, just a little numb! Tempering the tension he had never felt before, he walked towards the house even though he could hear his heart beating like a wild horse.

The door was hidden, and there was a crack in the window next to it, and the glass was not thickened, and it was difficult to withstand a blow from a blunt object, and it was a pity that it was not broken. As soon as I stepped on the steps outside the door, the squeak of the wooden planks shook violently, probably due to the dampness, and it had not been taken care of for a long time. How long has the family been out of here? Mu Tianyu was very suspicious of this, and reached out to gently push the door open, very light, as soon as his fingertips touched, the door slowly opened, and the creaking sound made people's hearts furious. The room was dim, and if I hadn't felt that I was real at this time, I was afraid that I would have thought it would be in a black and white video. He hesitated, but he didn't have anything in his head, at most his limbs couldn't keep up with the rhythm, or he had a feeling that he didn't want to go in. Yes, that's what he thought at this point, it was just a feeling, so he walked in.

It was cold enough in the room, and a cold snap hit him, and he shuddered, wrapped in his coat, and the sound echoed throughout the house. Creak...... Squeak, Mu Tianyu stopped, frowned and turned his head, the door gradually closed lightly, and he could clearly notice that the light in his eyes had dimmed a lot. Syllable! The crisp sound of the door closing, the room was quieter. He looked back and let out a long breath, it was just the tension of claustrophobia, and he gave himself a reason, which is very common in psychology. All that was left of the room was his slow footsteps, the fireplace had not been used for a long time, and several gray pieces of wood had burned out. The year before last, the city hall issued a notice that fireplaces were not allowed to be installed, and those that had been installed must be dismantled or deactivated, because of the protection of the environment. Staying in front of the fireplace, Mu Tianyu scratched his head, there was a large-size mural hanging on it, to be precise, it was a photo frame, but the photo was taken away, it should be Zhong Yi and his family. The frame was a little tilted, the rivet on the left had protruded, he took a few steps back, staring at the wooden frame, the room was so quiet that there was no sound, vague, faint, as if there was really a family in the frame! On the left is Zhong Yi, wearing a white coat, as if he had just come out of the research institute; Next to him was a child, a boy, wearing a peaked cap; On the right is a woman, I can't see it clearly, it should be Zhong Yi's wife, smiling sweetly, with her right hand on the child's shoulder; But there's one more person in the back! I can't tell whether it's a man or a woman, I should be very tall, standing behind Zhong Yi, more than half a head, but I look very twisted, and I always feel that something is wrong. Oh...... Understood, Mu Tianyu took a deep breath, this person's height and limb proportions did not match at all, it was unbelievable that the limbs with a height of only one meter six looked like they were one meter eight tall, as if the whole person was floating! Yes, that's right, it's getting more and more like, it's floating. Mu Tianyu shook his head violently, his heart contracted rapidly, he couldn't believe what he was seeing. It's a mutilated picture frame, and there's no picture on it! He took a deep breath, startled by his own speculation.

Then he heard a strange noise, coming from overhead, and when he looked up, it was just a chandelier of the Wanbo style, without any shaking, and even if there was, it should be a crisp and pleasant sound, and the dull knocking came from upstairs. He tried to put aside the tense melody, and the more he calmed down, the clearer the strange sound became. Bang bang bang, bang...... Bang bang! The sound frequency is fixed, and nothing else has been found. He looked at the corner of the staircase, which would make the living room look expansive, but some people didn't like it, preferring to stand in the hallway and see beyond the door, and they belonged to such a group. The corners were even darker, as if the sun had set in the evening, and the afterglow had completely disappeared from the sky. He stood still beyond the steps, staring blankly upstairs. Bang bang bang, the tapping sound continued, it was not his hallucination, he took out his phone, it was ten o'clock in the morning, and with a faint light, he cautiously walked up the stairs. Squeak, squeak...... Creak. Mu Tianyu stopped for three seconds, the sound of the wooden board was probably only audible to himself, the sound was very small, and his hand holding the railing was very hard to reduce the friction sound. Bang bang! It was the sound of tapping the plank, which became more and more fresh as I went upstairs. Could it be that someone is up there, and who is it that the door of the house was hidden when he came in before? Will it be Zhong Yi's wife? She's back? Mu Tianyu guessed, and just wanted to open his mouth but closed it again. No, when I first entered the house, I forgot to ask if there was anyone, and now I suddenly ask, it will definitely cause a misunderstanding. Standing in the corridor on the second floor, Mu Tianyu was very entangled in his heart.

Bang bang! The sound came from the room at the end, and although the door was closed, the source of the sound could not be wrong. Someone's knocking on the door? A wisp of doubt drifted through Mu Tianyu's mind. He didn't move in the slightest, just lowered his whole body, his eyes fluttering slightly, and he was more focused on the gap under the door. The inside of the room should still be facing the sun, so the outside of the corridor looks very dark, and the light inside is more obvious. Bang bang! The voice resounded in his ears, but the light in the gap did not shake, not like a person. Could it really be Zhong Yi's wife? With this mentality, Mu Tianyu slowly walked towards the depths of the corridor. Bang bang...... Bang bang! There was an extremely regular knock on the door, and this distance that seemed to be less than twenty meters seemed to have been walked for a century. The cold sweat on his forehead came out again, and he felt an inexplicable discomfort in his heart, Mu Tianyu kept getting closer, focusing on the light and shadow in the gap under the door, until he stood outside the door, and he didn't notice any abnormal movement. Bang bang! The sound came from inside the house, but it wasn't from the door in front of it, from a corner of the room, and there was still some distance to go. About six or seven meters? Or eight or nine meters? Mu Tianyu measured, the depression in his heart became heavier and heavier, as if it was difficult to even breathe, which was a sign of extreme panic! "I, what the hell am I afraid of. Hmph, it must be Zhong Yi's wife back, maybe ...... Maybe it's a thief! Or maybe it's a homeless person. Hmph, what's there to be afraid of. He should be afraid of me. Secretly mocking in his heart, Mu Tianyu stretched out his hand, twisted the doorknob, clicked, he pushed the door in.
