Chapter 47: The Snake Shadow
Tan Jian was woken up by me here, he probably fell asleep, and he hadn't found the north yet, coughing and trying to touch the pillow to smash people, and finally touched a snow ghost skin to wake up.
At this awakening, he immediately rolled over from the bed and said, "Why am I in bed." ”
Zhou Xuanye wiped his face and said, "We fell in love and were stunned." "There was also a medicinal smell of incense in the air, and the incense was located next to a pillar in the small hall. There was a big Tibetan incense burner, it was too dark before, so I didn't notice it, but now when I light the lamp, I can see smoke slowly drifting out of the incense burner.
Zhou Xuanye's words made me feel wrong, it seemed that they were carried to the bed after fainting.
However, at that time, these people were all in the attic, who could light incense in the incense burner without knowing it?
With the vigilance of Tan Jian and the others, it is impossible for this kind of problem to occur.
Obviously, Zhou Xuanye was also very concerned about this matter, he didn't bother to talk to me, but walked to the incense burner, held the oil lamp, and opened the lid of the stove. In the incense burner in between, there was a palm-sized, black thing, irregular shape, not quite the same as the incense we usually see, but these smokes that emitted the smell of medicine were indeed emitted by it.
I covered my nose and said to the crowd, "Be careful of being stunned by it again." ”
Zhou Xuanye didn't pay attention to my words, but leaned down, sniffed deeply, and said; "This is not incense, it's just Tibetan incense, which is beneficial and harmless to the human body, we will faint before, and it has nothing to do with this incense." He frowned as he said this.
I lowered my hand covering my mouth and nose, only to feel more confused. If it weren't for the incense, how would Zhou Xuanye and the others be dizzy?
"Brother Zhou, what happened after I left?"
Zhou Xuanye and the others all looked thoughtful, and finally Ma Fatzi said: "You go, I'll just wander around, see how many treasures are still in this place, I've been wandering, when I got dizzy, how I got to bed, I don't know." ”
Zhou Xuanye nodded slightly, and said, "The same, I don't know when I fainted, it seems that everyone in this place should be more careful." "If you can put everyone down without any obstacles, you can naturally kill everyone without any obstacles. We are now, like fish on a board, although we can't see where the enemy is, as long as the other party wants to make a move, they can kill us at any time.
After he finished speaking, he immediately asked me, "...... By the way, Tiangu, how is the situation with that person? Why did you come back by yourself? ”
When he asked, I suddenly remembered what happened just now, and I didn't care about answering Zhou Xuanye's question, so I hurriedly said: "In this attic, there is a beautiful snake hidden!" With that, I recounted what had just happened.
Hiding from a beautiful snake in the room is definitely not something that can be ignored, it hides in the shadows, and it may appear at any time and bite off people's heads. As soon as I said this, Tan Jian and Zhou Xuanye didn't dare to be careless, and immediately took out a powerful searchlight from their equipment bag.
He placed the lamp on the ground, and the light hit the roof of the attic, and the strong light was reflected into a light that was brighter than an incandescent lamp, illuminating the entire second floor.
At this moment, the eyes that have adapted to the darkness have even been stimulated to close subconsciously, and when they open again, there is a brief period of blindness. This process only lasted about two seconds, and then the whole attic was very clearly displayed in front of our eyes. The straight light makes the surrounding objects not even have a slanted shadow.
Tan Jian made a gesture and motioned for us to search, and everyone didn't dare to separate, in groups of three, they immediately turned over the entire second floor, but just like me before, not to mention the beauty snake, I didn't even see a ghost.
After more than ten minutes, we regathered in the small hall, the Tibetan incense in the incense burner was still burning, the smell of Tibetan medicine made our minds more and more clear, which made me realize that Zhou Xuanye's words were right, and it was definitely not this incense that stunned them.
But who lit this incense?
And how did that man stun people?
Seeing that Zhou Xuanye and the others were sleeping comfortably on the bed just now, I guess that the person who stunned them should not have malicious intent, otherwise they would not have lifted the person to the bed, and they would have covered it with snow ghost skin.
There are many strange things about this little Fusang, and now to find the mysterious person who stunned everyone, it is better to think about the whereabouts of the beautiful snake. It's not scary to know the enemy, it's scary to know where the enemy is hiding and when it will attack you.
Seeing this, the fat man swallowed his saliva and said, "I think let's not stay in this room, let's go find the red-robed boy, he must know." Hiss...... The attic was arranged by that kid, and the incident of our fainting must have something to do with him. After speaking, he immediately asked me: "Brother, didn't you follow him, why did you come back by yourself?" "I didn't find any trace of the beautiful snake at this time, so I told me what happened next.
When I mentioned the black shadow hiding behind the pillar, Ma Fatzi said: "Maybe he was the one who knocked us out, I said Xiao Su, why didn't you chase in and catch that person at that time." ”
I suddenly had the urge to smoke him: "Don't stand and talk without backache, your tonnage has been knocked down without much effort, can I arrest someone these two times." ”
Ma Fatzi said: "Yes, you little white face, it's quite difficult for you to fight with others." ”
"Shut up." Tan Jian drank a sentence and motioned to me and the fat man not to talk nonsense, he frowned, and said coldly: "Leave this place first and go find that kid." "Staying in this attic is really frightening, that natural stay has been together for five days, and we are acquaintances, we all decided to go back to that hall and find him out.
Unbeknownst to us, just as we went downstairs and turned around, I suddenly caught a glimpse of the shadow on the wall behind me.
I was taken aback.
If the shadow appears behind, then that thing should be in front of me.
And at the moment, we are going down the attic, that is, it should be on the second floor leading to the third floor.
We didn't use oil lamps, which was inconvenient, so we now use our own flashlights. The moment I saw that shadow, I slammed my flashlight into the corridor on the third floor.
"What for!" The rapid light change made the rest of the people stop, and the fat man screamed in surprise.
I stared at the entrance to the stairs, which was empty and empty. I looked back again, and on the wall, the shadow of the beautiful snake was still there. The shadows of the six people, plus the shadow of a beautiful snake, are entangled together, which looks very weird.
I didn't answer the fat man, but pointed to the wall and motioned for him to see for himself.
After the fat man turned his head to take a look, his eyes widened suddenly, and then he covered his mouth.
Estelle couldn't hold back her words, and in the dead silence of the night, she suddenly shouted: "Ah!! One more shadow! There are snakes! ”
Compared with the reactions of Ma Fatzi and Estelle, Zhou Xuanye and Tan Jian were much calmer, and the surnamed Tan just raised his eyebrows in surprise, without even a superfluous expression, and the flashlight in his hand slammed into the stairs on the third floor as before.
At the same time, Zhou Xuanye's reaction was more direct, he pulled out the Si Ghost Sword with a bang, turned around and quickly ran to the third floor, without any fear, as if he was going to learn how to slash the snake from Han Gaozu.
Otherwise, people can't be compared, and everyone reacts differently to the same thing. Some people are cowardly, while some people are naturally admirable. With Zhou Xuanye taking the lead, everyone's courage has grown. Especially Ma Fatzi, he saw Zhou Xuanye kill those snow ghosts, knowing that Zhou Xuanye had an unstoppable power with a sword, he immediately chased after him excitedly, and the stairs of his huge body shook with a squeak.
Estelle and I followed, Tan Jian followed unhurriedly.
After going all the way up to the third floor, we turned the place over again, but again, there was no sign of the thing, and there was no shadow of it.
The beautiful snake is so elusive that it looks like we're going to have a hard time finding it tonight. Zhou Xuanye searched for a while, then carried his sword and said, "Don't look for it, leave here first." "This time, it didn't come out again.
We went out of the attic, and the pillars of powerful searchlights shrouded the surrounding dark buildings in a layer of dazzling white light. Except for the building at the top, which is still a little obscure, the rest can even be seen clearly.
Immediately, I led the way in front and led everyone to the main hall where the natural stay was.
While walking, the fat man said: "You say this place is strange, why does it seem like there are just a few of us alive." ”
I said, "There are still people here, but there are very few, and when I came, I saw a woman crying." ”
Zhou Xuanye said: "The woman is crying? ”
"yes." I pointed to the small building with the lights on in the darkness in the distance, and said, "That's it, the only one with the lights on, and there's a woman crying." ”
Estelle tiptoed and said, "Where is the light, why can't I see it?" ”
"There, it's so obvious." I pointed again.
At this time, everyone looked at me, showing a strange look, Zhou Xuanye frowned slightly, and his voice was a little low: "Tiangu, I didn't see a light either." ”
The fat man swallowed his saliva and shook his hand in front of my eyes: "I didn't see it either, did you have something wrong with your eyes?" ”
I was stunned for a moment, looked at them, and then looked at the small building with the lights on in the distance, and suddenly felt creepy.
