Chapter 192: Answering the phone
Turtledove and Worm had just arrived at the ruins of the city, and the two of them were wrapped in the strange atmosphere here, experiencing a palpitation that penetrated deep into the bone marrow, and just as Turtledove was about to talk to Worm again and let her discourage her from continuing to explore here, the phone rang inexplicably in the phone booth not far away.
This scene is as terrifying as it can be.
The whole person of the turtledove was frightened and stupid, and he didn't know what to do, he didn't know what to do, he hadn't seen a phone booth, and he hadn't heard the phone ring, but don't forget what kind of place this is, this is the ruins of a city that has been abandoned for an unknown number of years, and there is not even a figure in the city, how can the phone ring.
But the phone was ringing, and the turtledove twitched his mouth, and seeing that it was not a hallucination, he looked at the worm beside him, hoping that she would do something.
No matter how clever Worm is, she's just a girl, and she hasn't encountered a situation where the phone rings suddenly, plus Worm has read a lot of horror comics before, and in those comics, similar episodes are always used as a precursor to the beginning of real horror.
Could it be that the ruins of the city are haunted?
……
In the bleak and silent streets, in the mottled but ringing telephone booths, the turtledove and the little worm stood in their place helplessly, listening to the sound of the bell in their ears, and the little worm trembled and touched the turtledove with his elbow and motioned for him to come over and see what it meant.
The turtledove shook its head, indicating that it would not pass it anyway.
The phone rang for about half a minute, and this time seemed like 10,000 years had passed for the turtledove and the worm, but fortunately, the phone ringing finally stopped, and the two of them looked at me, I looked at you, and finally raised their hands to wipe the cold sweat on their heads.
"Y-What did you just want to tell me?"
The worm's voice was trembling, she was indeed frightened.
"Otherwise, let's get out of here first," the turtledove doesn't look much better than the little worm, "I don't think this place has anything to do with the new empire, let's go to the other places marked by the coordinates first." ”
"Good idea."
The worm said yes.
Just a few minutes ago, the turtledove and the little worm had come to this abandoned city, and because of the strange atmosphere here, the turtledove had asked the little worm if she could go any further, because the place gave him a bad feeling.
But what did the little worm say at that time, she naturally felt the "not very good feeling" that the turtledove said, but the little worm didn't show it, and took the opportunity to ridicule the turtledove for being timid, saying that he was such a big man, how could he be like a woman, and this was not what happened, so he was frightened and chirped and retreated.
Although the turtle dove knew that the little worm was joking with him, and he was not really mocking himself with malice, but these words of the little worm still deeply stimulated the turtle dove, so the turtle dove didn't talk nonsense with the little worm anymore, and walked faster than the little worm with his neck.
Until an abrupt phone ring reached his and the worm's ears.
Now the little worm didn't dare to say the turtledove anymore, after all, she really heard the phone ringing, and the little worm was also frightened, a little face was white, like seeing a ghost alive.
Didn't they just live to see the hell?
……
In the ruins of the deserted city, a sudden ringing of the telephone rang from the telephone booth, and everyone would have to be scared half to death, so the turtledove once again suggested to leave here, and the little worm immediately agreed, - she didn't want to stay here for a minute now.
"Jingle bells, jingle bells......"
As soon as the little worm and the turtledove turned around and were about to leave, the phone not far behind them rang again, so the footsteps of the turtledove and the turtledove froze at the same time, they looked at each other, and were silent for about a few seconds, the turtledove gritted his teeth violently and said:
"What shit, I'm really scared?"
As he spoke, the turtledove turned around and walked towards the telephone booth with the bell ringing, but he had only walked out a few steps, and all the courage he had gathered was leaked, swallowing his spit and clenching his fists, and the turtledove could not stop when he took a step, and then sat on the ground and rested for half an hour.
The phone continued to ring, and the turtledove walked slower and slower, but as soon as he did so, the little worm also mustered up the courage to follow, and the two stood side by side outside the phone booth, not daring to take another step forward for a long time.
The bell stopped again.
The turtledove outside the phone booth secretly breathed a sigh of relief, he looked at the phone booth where the red paint was almost all gone, and said to himself, this thing is broken like this, how can the phone inside still ring?
……
"Are you really going to take it?"
The little insect stood next to the turtledove, and she was slightly half a body away from the phone booth than the turtledove, and it was this half of the body that allowed the little insect to hide behind the turtledove at any time.
"Why don't you answer," Turtledove said in a very arrogant voice, but his tone was a little out of shape, "I want to see who is calling the two of us." ”
"Don't don't, if you want to call, it's for you to call alone, it has nothing to do with me."
The little worm shook his hands without hesitation, without half a minute of hesitation, seeing that the little worm was so unrighteous, and the turtledove had nothing to say, he simply took two steps forward and walked into the phone booth, and said:
"You see you're scared, who is the two of us now?"
"It's you," Wormheart said that she was originally a woman, and it didn't matter, "Of course it's you!" ”
In fact, the turtledove himself was panicked, but in front of the little worm, he couldn't be too timid, not to mention that the little worm had mocked him before, after a short panic, the turtledove wondered if this was not his chance to win back a city?
Anyway, no matter how you look at it now, it's just that the phone is ringing, and if you have the courage to answer the phone, nothing should happen, is it possible that something will crawl along the phone line from the other side, and then get out of the microphone and bite yourself to death?
How can there be such a thing in the world.
Therefore, Ikadove thinks that this is a great opportunity to show his "true boyishness", even if something happens, he will just hang up the phone and be fine.
……
"Jingle bells, jingle bells......"
After a long but short wait, the telephone in the phone booth finally rang for the third time, and the turtledove reached out and glanced back at the little worm behind him, and the little worm slowly moved backwards, and at the same time comforted the turtledove:
"Don't be afraid, I'm not with you."
Licking his slightly dry lips, Ikaruga slowly stretched out his right hand, and he held the microphone for a few seconds, and finally picked it up with a "click" and put it to his ear.
