Chapter Seventy-Six: A Desperate Situation
The lighter in his hand didn't seem to be able to withstand the pressure, and the flame was even smaller, lonely like a bean. As the other party approached, the wounds on its body became clearer and clearer in front of my eyes.
The more I looked at it, the more I felt that it didn't look like a living thing.
Its exposed muscles were blackened, bloodless, and instead looked like a dried corpse.
And its eyes are blue-blue, and it can't see the pupils at all. What creatures would be like this? This reminds me of the corpse of the red-haired woman, could it be that this monster in front of me is also a product of the corpse? But Zhou Xuanye told me that the corpse of the corpse will have hair on its body, so it is also called a hairy corpse, but the thing in front of him has no hair on the body!
What to do?
I didn't want to wait to die, but there was nothing else to do right now, and those needle-like fingers seemed to be inserted into my brain in the next moment. In times of despair, people will always do a lot of unbelievable things, such as now, when I am cornered, and I think of some movie plots in my mind.
In the movie, if you encounter something like a hairy corpse, it is said that you just need to hold your breath and pretend to be dead. Because the hairy corpse judges the direction according to the breath of the person. I rushed to the doctor, and this thought came to my mind, so I took a long breath and quickly held it.
The monster's action really paused, and I was overjoyed, and I said: It's really a blind cat encountering a dead mouse, I didn't expect this method to really work. However, in the next second, my joy was disappointed, and it turned out that the moment of the hairy corpse was not frightened by me, but tripped by a string of beads under my feet.
It tilted its head and stepped directly on the string of emerald green beads, so close that I could even smell its breath. That's right, this thing breathes, it's not a hairy corpse at all! My scalp exploded, my whole body stiffened, and I even felt the urge to fight with it.
But how to spell it now? As long as I get close, I can be torn in half by it.
However, at this moment, I suddenly heard the voice of a man speaking in my ears. The voice was not big or small, the timbre was vague but there was a sense of solemnity.
"Séance!" The voice seemed to ring in my ears, but I knew that there was no one around me at the moment.
As these two words drilled into my mind, a sudden heat slammed down on my hood, instantly melting the stiff and cold muscles of my body from hood to foot. At this moment, I felt a surge of strength in my body.
The whole process, just in the blink of an eye, with this warmth, my consciousness suddenly became blurred, and at this moment, I fell asleep very comfortably!
I knew I shouldn't sleep, but the extreme relaxation and refreshment after exhaustion was really hard for ordinary people to resist, so later, my meaning completely faded.
When I woke up again, I was even a little dazed.
What just happened?
Why did I fall to the ground?
What about the monster?
In the dark, I listened intently, and there was no movement around me, but I smelled a very strong fishy smell, much stronger than before.
I didn't know what was going on, so I didn't dare to move, and I only remembered the previous experience in my mind. I did hear two words in my ear: séance.
I thought of Zhou Xuanye's séance, but eighty percent of that talisman had already been soaked in the water.
Besides, before Zhou Xuanye wanted to use the séance talisman on Qiu Huangxi, he had to send the talisman to the closest place to Qiu Huangxi, and now, I don't know how far away Zhou Xuanye is, how can he use the séance on me?
What the hell is all this going on?
Where did that monster go? The strong smell of fish in the air made me realize that something must have happened.
In order to understand my current situation, I subconsciously touched the lighter, and I felt empty after touching it, and then I remembered that before I fell asleep, or before I fainted, to be exact, the lighter had been held in my hand.
Eighty percent of this dizziness fell nearby, and I crawled on the ground and began to grope around. I touched some cold utensils, and I touched things like hanging beads, but I just didn't touch my lighter.
I was a little anxious, and only when one was completely plunged into darkness would one understand the importance of light and fire. I lay on my stomach on the ground, calculating the distance, and slowly groping around the place where I had just woken up. It took me more than ten minutes to touch it, and thankfully, I finally touched it.
I immediately tried to light the lighter, but after several blows, the flame did not light up at all, except for sparks.
I couldn't hold on to more than a dozen hits, and my thumb hurt, but I still didn't fight.
Damn, at this critical moment, there is actually no gas!
I didn't give up, and continued to fight with the burning pain of my thumb, but there was nothing but sparks from the flints. In the end, I had to give up and sit down in the same place.
What should I do now?
The darkness makes people look particularly fragile, I was depressed for a long time, and finally comforted myself: It's good to be alive, I tossed for a long time just now, and I didn't see the movement of the monster, the monster is gone, so my life is not in danger for the time being.
Thinking of this, I was in much better spirits and decided to run out in inky black!
Although I can't see the surroundings now, the way I came here is still very deep in my mind, as long as there is no danger around, I can slowly touch back into the stone room! I had lit the wall lamp in that place before.
Thinking of this, my heart suddenly chuckled.
When I fainted, I didn't know what had happened. Why didn't the monster hurt me, where did it leave here? If that monster also returned the same way, would it attack Tan Jian in the stone room?
Thinking of this possibility, I suddenly felt that my scalp was numb, where did I dare to delay, and immediately began to feel dark.
I didn't know the direction at this point, so I decided to touch a wall first, and then crawl in a straight line on the ground, and soon I touched the wall. Then I began to find a direction to move forward, hoping to find the place where I had come in before.
As soon as the human eyesight is gone, the rest of the senses become very sensitive, and I groped my way along the stone wall, turning four corners, touching around, and returning to the first corner, but I did not touch the entrance.
I remember that the mechanism was an upside-down stone door, and when we came in, the stone door closed.
Perhaps, I'll have to find the trigger to open it?
Damn, I don't know how to do it, and secondly, it's dark here, so how can I find it!
Wait a minute......
I couldn't help but hiss, and wondered: How did that monster get out? Could it be that it will look for mechanisms? The monster can walk in the dark, apparently with night vision, and the conditions are much better than mine.
I don't believe that a person who has been baptized by civilization is not as good as a monster! It can find a way out, and I'm sure I can too!
It's just that it takes time......
I've been trapped for too long. It didn't matter if I wasted any more time, so I started to feel my way up again, walking along the walls, from top to bottom. It was a patient and long process, with no clocks, no references, and I didn't know how long I had been fumbling around, but when I got back to the first corner, I still didn't find anything.
I panicked.
Because of the last time I groped, I really used a lot of energy, so serious, so focused, so careful and nothing came of it, can I really not find a way out?
Light I need light. I pulled out my lighter and hit it again, and I was greeted only by Mars.
In the process of exploring just now, I touched the wall lamp in this storeroom and tried to light it with a lighter. Although there is no fire, there is still Mars, and primitive people drilled wood to make fire, didn't they rely on that little bit of Mars?
But some of the grease in the wall lamp was well protected, and some of it had formed hard lumps, so most of it could not be ignited. I didn't light any of the wall lamps in this storeroom.
Darkness, like a big net, wraps people tightly. I slid down against the wall and sat on the ground, feeling a sense of fear for the first time.
Am I going to be stuck in this place like this?
Has Tan Jian been gnawed by that monster?
I thought of the dried corpses, the dried corpses that died in this place silently and in vain.
Am I going to follow in their footsteps?
They're dead, maybe someone is still worried, and someone remembers that there is a person in this world, and it's just missing.
What if I die?
I died, disappeared from this world, who would have known that there was once such a person as me in the world? Who is going to try to find me?
At this moment, the entry that flashed in my mind was the shadow of Zhou Xuanye.
In fact, the three of us have only known each other for a few months, perhaps because of the experience during this time, I trusted someone so quickly. I think that if I really died, Zhou Xuanye should still remember that there was such a person as me.
Perhaps......
A little longer, it will still be forgotten in memory.
It's a sad realization.
I don't want to die, the ants are still stealing life. So after resting for a while, I got up and continued to search, over and over again, until I collapsed to the ground from exhaustion. The injured body is particularly prone to fatigue, and eventually it can't withstand the exhaustion and falls asleep again.
