Chapter Seventy-Five: Don't You Have No Shadow?
(Two chapters a day from this Sunday until next Sunday to see how the data goes.) οΌ
I watched as the light hit the wall through Ali's body, and it took me almost half a minute to react. The first reaction was that Ali was dead, and now her ghost was talking to me.
Ghosts don't have jaws. I said to myself, thinking that I would stand up and walk over to Ali and reach out to pinch her chin.
Ali was stunned for a moment when I pinched her face coldly, but immediately came back to her senses: "Brother, what are you doing?" β
There's a chin. My heart said. Could it be that the patriarch's statement is wrong? Thinking about it, I bowed my head to Ali's feet. Ghosts walk with floating, and only living people walk with legs.
"Brother, what are you doing?" Ali's face was inexplicable.
I kicked her in the foot, it was real. Only then did he reassure: "Oh, nothing. β
"Nothing?" Ali frowned at me, "What's the point you're frowning about?" β
I smiled: "It's really nothing, I'm afraid I'll scare you if I say it." β
"Say," Ali thrust her hands into her waist, "I haven't been afraid of anything." β
I saw that she was so persistent, so I pointed behind her: "Well, you can see for yourself." β
Ali turned around and looked around, thinking I was saying she had something on her back, and pulled her clothes backhanded. Still didn't find anything.
"It's not you." I said, pointing to the wall behind her, "You didn't notice that you didn't have a shadow?" β
"Shadows?" Ali turned to look at the wall. As I expected, Ali showed a surprised expression: "Ah, where is my shadow? β
Although I don't know what the situation is, since I was sure that Ali was a living person, I was much more relieved, so I deliberately scared her: "Shadow? Probably float with your corpse on the surface of the lake outside. β
Ali was really startled by me, and after a few seconds of froze, she pinched her chin like I had just done, then looked down at her feet and walked a few steps.
"Didn't you say that you weren't afraid?" I asked her, "Scare you." β
Ali came back to her senses, and when she heard me say this, she glared at me and was about to get angry, but she was stunned before she could say anything.
"How?" I noticed that Ali was staring straight behind me with her eyes straight behind me, and her heart was a little hairy. The heart said that there must be something unclean behind me, right? Thinking about it, I snapped a glance back.
Behind him is a graveyard with no end in sight, and there is nothing. But Ali still stared at her stunned, as if she was thinking about something.
"Hey, what are you looking at?" I walked over and held out my hand and shook it in front of her eyes.
"Brother," Ali frowned. This time the frown is worse than just now, and I can almost wring out the water.
I could see that she wasn't joking, so I asked her what was wrong.
"Don't you have no shadow either?" Ali said, pointing behind me.
"Me?" I subconsciously turned around to look at the ground.
There really is no shadow.
"Damn, where's my shadow?" I screamed, and subconsciously tried to pinch my chin. But after thinking about it, I still controlled myself.
"We're in the tomb, and it's understandable that something strange is happening." I comforted Ali. Actually, I was comforting myself. "Believe me, it's explainable. It's just that we haven't found a breakthrough yet. β
Ali looked at me, pinched her face again to make sure she was still alive, and said, "I think let's find Brother He Tao and them quickly." I always felt like something unclean was watching us. With that, he picked up his backpack.
I nodded, and picked up my backpack as well. Ali and I just entered the mausoleum, and we encountered such a strange thing, and I don't know what happened to Hetao and them.
In order to save fuel, Ali turned off the wind lamp and switched to a flashlight.
"Ali, the blueprint is yours, you still have some impressions, right?" As I walked, I asked her, "Can you get an idea of where we are now?" β
Ali blinked and thought for a moment, then stretched out her finger and drew a few times in the void in front of her, before finally saying, "Well-I don't know." We came in from a hole dug by someone else, and I don't know where the person who hit the hole in the first place hit it. After speaking, he paused again: "But since this senior who fights the thief hole can beat the thief hole into the mausoleum, it proves that he is still a little level." If we follow this tomb path, we should be able to find some traces of the past. β
I looked at her sideways: "You seem to be very confident. β
Ali also turned her face to look at me: "Brother, when there is no way to solve the problem, blind confidence is the last resort. β
Lost self-confidence. I said in my heart.
We walked in the graveyard for almost two hours, during which we did not even turn a corner.
This time it was different from the last time I was under the Thousand Coffin Plank Road, this time I was followed by an Ali, which made me feel much less afraid of the ancient tomb. Of course, after a tomb robbery, my nerves were much bigger.
"Why are you still walking in a straight line, and you haven't reached the end yet?" Ali said suddenly, and then stopped.
"Why don't you take a break?" I asked her, "It's almost over." β
Ali fastened the flashlight to her shoulder, took the water bottle from her backpack with her backhand, unscrewed it and took a sip: "At our speed, these two hours are enough time for us to cross the entire mausoleum." With that, Ali put the water bottle back in her bag: "It's not quite right. β
"Maybe we're still wandering around the periphery of the mausoleum and haven't gone in yet?" I said.
"Impossible," Ali shook her head, "I can't memorize the details of the mausoleum's design, but I still have an impression of the general outline." β
I laughed dryly: "So now are we?" β
Ali ignored me, looking down at herself and pondering. I saw that she was thinking, and I didn't bother anymore. After all, I'm not even a rookie in the inverted bucket industry. Some rookies can fly, but I can't even fly, at most I can be regarded as a rookie. I can't help but laugh when I think about it.
Before I could laugh a few times, Ali suddenly raised her head, and I saw her eyes light up, as if she had thought of something.
"What, do you think of anything?" I asked her.
Ali nodded, and fastened the backpack to her body at great speed: "I thought of a possibility. β
"What?"
"Brother, how is your physical strength?"
"Strea?" I was stunned for a moment, and my heart said why are you asking this? Immediately, I answered her in my heart: Brother, I have good stamina. "When I was in college, I practiced long-distance running - what's wrong?"
Ali raised her hand and looked at the dark tomb in front of her: "You can't walk, let's run." β
"Run?" I was stunned again, "What the hell did you think of?" β
"If my guess is correct, you'll find out later." Ali said. After speaking, he added in a whisper: "I hope my conjecture is wrong." β
"You" I was about to ask her again what she had guessed, but before I could finish asking, I saw her make a sprint.
"Heyβrun slower!" I yelled and hurried to follow.
