Chapter Twenty-Four: Alien Dimension
When she stepped into this corridor for the second time, she obviously had another feeling, Chen Miaoxue was uneasy, and always felt that there would be something on the dark stairs, maybe she would meet it if she went up one block more. She knew very well what form she was in now, even if no one was there, but there was always something that was watching over her. She felt the rope on her left wrist, and it was very strong, so that she had the courage to take a step and walk carefully up the stairs. She held her right hand high, and a faint guiding light gradually took shape, an ability that every soul seeker possessed.
The sackcloth rope tied to Chen Miaoxue's left wrist was not a simple rope, it had once bound a guardian from heaven in the realm of evil spirits. He had suffered and suffered, burned by the flames of rage, whipped by hatred and brutality in the endless abyss, the ropes drenched in his blood, and sunk deep in the blur of flesh. But the torment burned his rage, and the evil spirits trembled with fear against him, and were reduced to ashes in his angry self-fall. Legend has it that he was reborn at the last moment of his life, and in the endless abyss, only this bloody rope remained. Later, this rope was left behind and kept in the psychic monastery, where it was guarded by successive abbots. Until the temple finally collapsed, and the huge rope was split into thousands of parts and scattered in all corners of the world. (According to the holy book, the guardians of the kingdom of heaven are like giants, and the ropes bound are as thick as the towering trees.) Chen Miaoxue's father was fortunate enough to get one, which is now passed down to her. Some weaker soul seekers are easily seduced or even mutilated by evil spirits after venturing into the other world, and this rope can connect the soul with the body, so that they can escape in the right direction. But now, this blood-soaked rope has long been divided into thousands of sections, and as it is buried by the years, its power of holy light is gradually weakening. In recent years, there have been precedents for several soul seekers who have not been able to make their way out of the Atlas even with the help of ropes. Rumor has it that they have encountered powerful demons that most soul seekers may never encounter in their lifetime.
The heavy steps resounded in his mind, and the direction of the sound source seemed to be in the little girl's room, Chen Miaoxue stopped around the corner, because the footsteps suddenly disappeared. She was a little nervous, even though she had dealt with similar paranormal events. As time goes on, the whole world is chillingly quiet! The creepy feeling made her unconsciously step back, and at the same time she was extremely afraid that she would make a little noise. Even when her back was against the wall, she still didn't dare to let out the tension and fear in her heart with her breathing, and if the breathing was a little louder, it would definitely attract its attention. Chen Miaoxue thought like this, staring intently at the entrance of the building, the faint light spread in the quiet corridor on the second floor, and the mottled walls were shrouded in layers of dark shadows, as if they had been eroded by coagulated blood stains for many years. But this did not disturb her vision, only staring at the left side of the entrance of the stairs, the direction of the girl's room, if the head of a ghost suddenly sticks out, it is better to leave in time. In a headless corpse case half a year ago, she had nightmares for almost a month, and when she inadvertently looked back, she would see a bloody head outside the window. The hideous face, the old and pale skin, and the indistinguishability to distinguish between a man and a woman, will make the horror jump to the most sensitive part of the nerves and make people break down.
Waiting is like walking with death, never knowing when danger will come, no warning, no rehearsal, maybe you will close your eyes or die in the next second. Click, an extremely crisp but piercing sound hit, and the dim light in the corridor trembled with Chen Miaoxue's hand. The door to the girl's room is opened! Chen Miaoxue had a buzz in her head, and then came back to her senses. Someone went in? Is it Lin Qing himself? She just got back to her room from the bathroom? No, it can't be, such a heavy pace, definitely an adult! In an instant, countless questions entered Chen Miaoxue's mind. Her nervousness was aroused again, and after several hesitations, she still walked upstairs tremblingly. This time, the footsteps that resounded in the hallway seemed to move with their own pace, and with each step of the stairs, the creaking of the wooden planks was heard. Chen Miaoxue stopped at the last staircase, her eyes unsettled against the wall, and then she poked her head out.
She felt the tingling sensation coming from the cold wall on her face, but she still clung to it, as if to contain her breathing, and finally, she saw it. In the mist-shrouded corridor, she slowly stretched out the lantern in her hand. There was nothing in the hallway, and in the dim light, there was not a single person in the hallway. Then she walked up with her legs completely moving, and as she gasped slightly, releasing her previously suppressed uneasiness, the shadow of fear that had always surrounded her, and her back was wet. But she didn't hesitate, and continued to move slowly towards the girl's room, the old planks under her feet did not make a sound, and she controlled it very well. The distance is shortened, the line of sight is gradually clearer, the door is hidden, yes, it is hidden! There was a tiny gap, and the fog in the corridor was seeping in with the air currents. I could almost feel the cold mist caressing my hair, my back, my ankles, and then flowing into the casual crack in the door, as if my soul was constantly being absorbed and consumed by it.
Her confused eyes stared at the deep gap, as if she had been robbed of consciousness and lost her physical reactions. Suddenly, Chen Miaoxue turned around suddenly, and an extremely panicked uneasiness filled her brain, and suddenly, she was panicked, and she could no longer suppress the panic in her heart, although the entire corridor was filled with thick fog, her violently shaking hand had lifted the lantern to the highest point. "The sound of the door opening wasn't coming from the girl's room! Yes, on the other side of the promenade! She secretly said in her heart, and suddenly found this terrifying picture. The door had been opened, and there seemed to be a man standing in the dark room! No, it's not a person, Chen Miaoxue can't be sure, but the silhouette looks like a person! Horror is like a soul being withdrawn from the body, but she knows the current situation, and she exists in the form of a soul. The more I looked at the shadow, the more anxious I became, and I howled like crazy, but my voice was stuck in my throat and I couldn't make a sound. The fog around him was like a pair of cold and piercing minions, slamming his neck fiercely, almost suffocating. Chen Miaoxue's pupils contracted rapidly, if she stayed for another second, she would definitely collapse! Warnings of danger flashed through her mind.
In the quiet and cold living room, Chen Miaoxue's body suddenly began to twitch indirectly, as if she was infected with leprosy, a move that stunned Lin Yan opposite. Her shaking hand was also pulling Lin Qing's whole body to tremble at the moment. "She, what's wrong with her?" Panicked, Lin Yan's excited emotions were about to collapse, and her eyes were bloodshot.
Zhang Fang was also taken aback by this sudden movement, he ran from the midfield, and carefully examined Chen Miaoxue's face. "It's okay, don't worry, she might just have some problems." Having said that, his eyes were messy and his face was full of panic. He had seen this terrifying scene in the past, but later he heard Chen Miaoxue say that it was just that the soul had been separated from the body for too long, causing the body to be unable to carry the connection from the other world. But at this time, a painful expression appeared on Chen Miaoxue's face, and even a faint black mark began to appear on her neck, like two hand marks from hell. Just when everyone had nothing to do, Chen Miaoxue suddenly regained her composure, and in a blink of an eye, there was dead silence in the living room, but everyone looked at each other and was frightened.
Chen Miaoxue didn't dare to stay any longer, she glanced at the entrance of the stairs, which was too far away, and the fog overflowing from the opposite room became more and more heavy. She hurried a few steps back, slammed her back against the wooden door, and before she could turn back, she entered the girl's room, and then slammed the door shut. Syllable! She sat limply on the floor, the lantern in her hand toppled beside her, and the sealed room echoed only her fearful gasps and eerie shadows. Call...... Suck...... Call...... Suck...... The sound of his own breathing was ringing all over his head. Sweat was already soaking his back, and the cold sweat that slipped from his forehead dripped on his arms, shaking like an electric touch.
After her mood stabilized a little, she slowly stood up, threw the lamp in her hand behind her, and approached the door with a trembling head, trying to spy through the crack in the doorway for the hallway. The door was so closed that there was no gap, and then she turned her head sideways and pressed against the door frame, except for the faint humming sound of the old wood surface, the sound of extremely small and dense wormholes and the intertwining of the immersion air current. There was nothing outside, no heavy footsteps, no low moans, deathly seclusion. The tension finally dissipated, and she breathed deeply, as if she had just escaped from the plague zone.
However, another strange phenomenon quietly appeared in her calm eyes. Turning her sluggish head, she couldn't help but exclaim, "Ah! "There was a man standing in front of the window of the house! She was facing away from herself, under the dim light and shadow, this familiar back, she, she turned out to be Lin Qing! It turned out to be Lin Qing, not someone else. Chen Miaoxue's violent heartbeat gradually calmed down, she moved her stiff steps towards the window, and the lantern in her hand was only trembling slightly, but she had palpitations! In particular, Lin Qing's cheeks were reflected through the pale green window glass, like a dead corpse, with pupils that were dilated to the limit, making people's scalp tingle.
