XXXIV. First Contact
I stood in the midst of the shrine, and the eerie atmosphere surrounded me all the time. In the depths of the darkness, a footstep sounded regularly as I walked, and my nerves were tense all over my body, and I didn't dare to take a breath, and only my crazy heartbeat seemed to be heard in the entire ancestral hall.
I still didn't turn around, I looked at the ghost statue in front of me, the triangular plank and the two huge cylinders, and at this moment I don't know if my head was short-circuited, I suddenly saw a black shadow coming out of the walls on both sides, silently, it was wearing a mask, I even saw it as myself, I was like shouting for a moment, but I forcibly covered my mouth.
It's a ghost, there's no doubt it's a ghost, there's not a statue inside the ancestral hall, but where did this thing come from? Damn, I cursed in my heart, what the hell is this place, even though it's a tomb, but it's necessary to be so ghostly?
My brain exploded and I almost didn't have any thoughts, I opened my legs and turned around and ran backwards, and at the same time, the sound of footsteps continued to sound with my footsteps, like an echo, echoes lingering back and forth in this small ancestral hall, stimulating my spirit for a while, like a trembling musical score.
I was going crazy, I kept my head down and didn't care about those things, just kept running forward, and finally I seemed to hit a wooden wall, the flashlight fell to the ground with a bang, the whole person's mask was almost stuck to the wall, and my mind was turbulent, after a long time I calmed down, I turned around, only to realize that I was now in a small space, and behind me was a plank.
", again?" When I think of that changing mechanism, my heart is either disgusted or afraid, and I have to say how many people can run in and out besides the builder of the tomb?
"Phew" I spat out, lowered my head and picked up the flashlight, just about to turn around, suddenly heard something beating outside, I was happy in my heart, but then I thought about it, damn it wrong! What kind of place is there no one in this place, and then a dark shadow flashed in my mind, and I thought that it couldn't be the fucking ghost outside, right? Thinking about it, I suddenly became scared, and I could only randomly touch around brainlessly, trying to find something to hold down this plank, but slowly as I mastered the shape, I suddenly found that I was inside a coffin.
"Didn't I hit the wall?" I began to panic in my heart, "And why is this coffin erected?" ”
Standing a coffin? There is such a thing popping up in my mind, if I hadn't seen it in that ghost building before, I wouldn't have thought that way at all, so it's no accident that there will be a coffin here, but there is another thing I still can't understand, that is, this ancestral hall has an empty field of vision, I have never seen any coffins and people, and why do they all pop up now?
Could it be said? A bad idea came to mind. I took a big breath of the impure air in the coffin, and when the sound outside was much quieter, I slowly opened a small opening in the gap of the coffin, and then the pupils reflected a group of zombies, and sure enough, the wooden planks on the outside of this ancestral hall are fucking coffin boards, that is to say, this place is a morgue, all the walls are made of coffins, and now I don't know why the lid of the coffin has been opened, and the corpses inside have run out one by one.
I held my trembling arm and hid back in the coffin, I cowered in one place, turned off the flashlight, now I can't say any fear and fear in my mind, I just don't know why this place attaches so much importance to ghost culture, isn't this a tomb? Are there really ghosts in the world? The noise outside was getting louder and louder, but at that moment a sudden sound like a bomb rang out. Then came the sound of machine guns and the noise of people.
I opened a little gap and saw that the place where the statue had been blasted before, and a group of people swarmed through the hole, they had guns in their hands, helmets on their heads, and they looked like well-armed habitual thieves, and I counted the number of 4 people, and 2 of them were seriously wounded, and they were carried.
"It's ghouls, just break their necks, there's no need to waste bullets." A person said, as soon as his voice came out, I immediately remembered, this person is their head, that is to say, the person who wants to find the black shadow, if nothing else, he is likely to be the person of Pangu.
"Ghouls?" A man lay dying on his back.
"This place is a ghost shrine, in order to renew the life of that old guy, and those coffins are all primers to continue life, so they let them make a standing coffin." He fired a shot and said casually, seemingly not taking this thing seriously at all.
"Use people to give ghosts a life? I didn't think there was such a thing. ”
"What's this, those living people have made seventy-two different zombies according to the 72 methods of Qiankun to continue life, if you wait for them to come out, you will know."
I didn't dare to breathe a sigh of air in the coffin for a while, compared to those zombies who were sacrificed as life-sustaining sacrifices, I could tell from their mouths that their target was indeed that shadow, but no matter what those people asked, that person didn't say a word about that person, no one knew who he was or why he came in, but I did know a little, a final news that seemed to be related but unrelated - he came for me.
The things outside have been wiped out, and sure enough, equipment is king, and these people are all familiar with it, it is obvious that we started from the same starting point, but they came to this place before me, and what is even more embarrassing is that they have already experienced some things and have begun to find the way back.
But it seems that they didn't find that person, or that they lost that person, otherwise they wouldn't have returned, so where were they lost? What's inside this tomb? I closed my coffin and listened quietly to their conversation.
"Let's go."
"Wait a while, you collect the guns and make statistics and make arrangements, I'm afraid that there won't be enough bullets when I go back." The leader spoke suddenly.
"You're really ink, put them down, and take a break to shoot the gun." The other person who was not injured also gladly accepted his offer.
After a moment of silence, they didn't seem to care at all about what the coffin boards had not yet been opened, and what was still being talked about.
"By the way, where do you personally think that person will flee?" After a while, the hired man asked, "What do I want to do?"
"This is not something you should know, I will chase it, our purpose now is to get out of here."
"Chasing? How to chase? That door is closed, where can you go? ”
"You're not bothered." In the cracks, I saw the man staring at the other person with a fierce gaze. It was as if he had been told something on his mind, and his expression was like a hungry wolf for a moment.
"Oops, oops. Don't look at it, we are your employers, and you have the right to choose silence. He quietly wiped the gun alone, and then looked at his accomplice lying on the ground without squinting, and loaded the bullets into the rifle one by one.
The atmosphere was different, after getting the gun, the tone of the man changed completely, sure enough, the tomb robbers would tear up the tickets, seeing them with bulging backpacks, of course I knew how many things they took, and the person who was threatened seemed to be their employer, that is, the voice I heard before, "Pull out the rats." ”
"It's him, it's definitely not wrong, this person knows everything, it must be like this, but I can't tell if he's the so-called Pangu organization. Is there any way to get me close to him. "Suddenly, a bold idea came to my head.
"Below the door is the sea, right?" The man suddenly said aggressively, "I see, the sea is overhead?" What is that place? By the way, I have to say, even we didn't know that there would be such a thing under the mausoleum in the middle of the mountain, and how did the black shadow know? His tone was slow and a little careless, but I could hear it, I really heard it, with my own eyes, no, with my own ears, and under this mountain was the sea, and the sea was opposite, and the sea was overhead, and it was here, in the place they called the door, and that was what the man on the phone said, why? Isn't that a joke? No, no, no, I seem to have overlooked something, Yang Shizhong's mobile phone was lost, and then we received a phone call, the call said that he was in a place where the sea was overhead, and there was a huge sound of waves, and he kept shouting, who is he? Who picked up Yang Shizhong's mobile phone? Or is it said that waiting for Da Niu, by the way, that person called Ah Zhu's nickname, that is, Da Niu, then this person must be their acquaintance, could it be that Yang Shizhong's mobile phone was stolen? In the end, that person entered this tomb, and he had to call Asuke for help?
I thought about it, in this case, and in that case, it must be to press and hold the call button, and directly dial the nearest contact, I remember that Ah Zhu and I said that they had contact when Yang Shizhong sent me over at that time, so that's right, the person who stole the mobile phone must be someone who knows Yang Shizhong and knows Ah Zhu, and he is also the one who has the opportunity to get close to Yang Shizhong, but why did he steal the mobile phone? Just because you're poor? By the way, could it really be poor? It suddenly occurred to me that 3 of the people outside were local, and they couldn't resist the temptation of the treasure to enter here, and the mausoleum in this place seemed to be well known, so could it be that person happened to come into contact with a group of tomb robbers so he was brought into this place?
Then I just need to find out if the thief is checking if he has been in contact with people from other places lately.
And just when I was fully yy, the three "bang-bang" sounds directly broke my thoughts.
"Someone died."
"You know a little bit more, friend." I immediately knew it was the mercenary when I heard the voice, I reopened the coffin, and saw that he was holding a small gun in his hand, the muzzle of the gun was emitting white smoke, and the muzzle flickering light under the light of the flashlight was unusually dazzling, I couldn't believe it, the man offered to give the gun to another person, but who knew that he still had one hidden on his body, it seemed that he had planned it all a long time ago.
"You." Until he died, the man couldn't believe it, he was still holding the handful of blessings in his hand, and his eyes were wide open.
"You really know too much, and I know your greed, but this is enough for you to be carefree for the rest of your life, so what else do you need? So go to another world. "Then I saw the man trying to put his hand on his eye.
"Me."
I heard the sound of bullets sinking into the flesh and splashing out, and the frustration was eye-catching.
"Don't think about what's down there, I told you a long time ago that there's nothing there, huh." After a pause, the man stood up and said to him, "You have 5 more minutes to live, and after 5 minutes your vision will blur, your blood will interfere, and there will be no more greedy people like you in the world." Then I'd like to make a bet with you to see if you're dying sooner or later. "I heard a few gunshots, and then the lids of the coffins were opened one by one.
"It's over, the corpse tide is coming." I thought to myself.
"The matter has been settled, hurry up and pick me up, the people have escaped, and I found something interesting." In the cracks, I saw the man put on a headset, and then looked at his hand, no, no, it was his fingernails, and there seemed to be a few lights flashing on it, and then he said, "Stupid, down there, there's a sinkhole here, can't you see?" ”
