Chapter 74: The Guardian of the Tomb (1)
Ninety-nine, when I counted to ninety-nine, there were no steps under my feet, I moved a few steps forward, my hand touched the wall first, the pimples on the wall did not know what was inlaid with pimples, I felt that there was no mechanism on this wall, and the echo was thick, and it did not seem to have a dark grid.
There was another gunshot, I judged the direction of the gunfire to my left, I felt the walls on both sides and walked all the way, and after walking a few steps, I saw a little light in the darkness ahead, this light was in a trance, as if someone was holding a flashlight and kept walking, and there were many egg-sized black shadows moving up and down in the light and shadow.
With the light, although it is very faint, in this extremely dark environment, I can still see the direction ahead.
Around the corner, there was a cat-like animal lying on the ground, with snow-white fur and thick limbs, which at first glance looked a bit like a larger Samoyed, but I knew it was definitely not, it was not breathing, although its head was covered by fur and it was not real, but I saw that there were red marks over there, and there was a faint smell of blood, I was sure that this monster was dead, so I dared to lean over, and I saw a strange face.
I've never seen this animal, its face is flat, and it has four eyes, two large and two small, the nose is very similar to a human's, a row of snow-white teeth plus two pairs of fangs, in fact, these are more acceptable, the most shocking thing to me is the eyes of this monster, even if it is dead, the eyes are still open, and it looks like it is dead.
I had the courage to lift its head, and I found that there were two wounds on its head, one from a knife wound and the other from a gunshot wound.
Walking along this passage, I found a flashlight on the ground, the ground next to the flashlight was crawling with black insects the size of soybeans, I cautiously jumped to the flashlight and kicked it with my foot, the flashlight rolled on the ground a few times, those black bugs may have been frightened, one by one away from the flashlight, I took advantage of this time to pick up and check the situation of the flashlight, and then held the flashlight to look around.
Strictly speaking, this passage is already a road, the murals on both sides are as bright as new, and the people on the picture, young and old, are all wearing black veils, but judging from the eyes and eyebrows and their hair accessories, most of the people on this mural are young women, and these women seem to be beautiful and exquisite, but their eyes are full of despair.
My hand involuntarily reached over and touched their eyes, and at that moment, I seemed to see them alive, living in the mural, walking towards me.
Suddenly there was a sound of wind in my ears, and I suddenly felt that I was in a bloody battlefield, and someone seemed to be calling me, the voice was familiar, but so unfamiliar.
A blood mist rose from the scorched earth under my feet, and in the mist, a man suddenly appeared, he looked at me, and I looked at him, and I suddenly felt that I had seen this face somewhere, and many times.
In my home, there is a place where no one is allowed to enter, and in the Duobao Pavilion in my study, there is a photograph of the people in the photograph who are my parents, and I know very little about them.
"You," I stepped back, "Dad?" ”
I instantly felt the fishy smell in my mouth, and one hand picked me up, "I told you so much, I'm deaf." ”
I ran after him and scolded, "Grasshopper, you kid has no hands, you use your feet every time." ”
During this time, I saw that there were many forks on both sides of the road, but the grasshopper had no intention of turning at all, and kept moving forward, and I even thought that this was also my illusion.
Along the way, we also "picked up" Zhang Yang, who was leaning against the wall and gasping for breath, as if he had just finished running a marathon, and when she saw us, especially me, seemed to be calm, as if he had known that I would be here.
"Got it." The Grasshopper said this to Zhang Yang, who nodded.
The three of them continued to walk along this road, the speed of their feet slowed down a lot, but their vigilance was many times higher in an instant, and Zhang Yang's left arm seemed very wrong, I asked him, and he said that it might be a broken bone, I was surprised, but he didn't say much.
The slower and slower we walked, not because we were physically exhausted, but because the road under our feet was becoming more and more difficult to walk, which was originally a smooth stone slab, but now there are a lot of iron thorns, which were sparse at first, but the more we go inside, the more iron thorns under our feet, and in the end there is even no way out.
I looked at the flashlight and shone in front, looked back at Zhang Yang who was leaning on the side, and asked him, "Dude, what's going on?" ”
A smile rose at the corner of Zhang Yang's mouth, and he asked rhetorically, "What do you want to know?" ”
I was stunned, glanced at the gnats next to me, and replied, "Anything you want, you can say it." ”
I can only listen to what he wants to say to this person, because those words make it possible to speak the truth.
"We are ready to tell you everything, including the previous lies. ”
I was stunned again, "Lying to me? ”
Zhang Yang frowned, it may be the severe pain caused by his broken arm, I remembered that I still had a little medicine close to my body, that is my habit all along, a little painkiller close to my body, I won't use it until I have to.
I handed him the medicine, "This is painkiller, you take it first." ”
The Grasshopper took out a red ring, handed it to me, and said, "There is only one of the three boxes in your hand, and the other two boxes contain Gu worms, but fortunately you are not greedy and did not open these boxes." ”
I subconsciously touched the package containing the three boxes, and immediately took it out and handed it to them, "What about this?"
The grasshopper took the package and placed it on the ground, then opened it and picked one of the rings out of it, and then placed the other two boxes in a corner of the wall to remind us not to touch them.
As soon as he stood up, I felt something approaching, and the grasshopper wanted to go over and pick up the two boxes but was stopped by Zhang Yang, because the corner where the box was placed was already covered with black insects, and I also saw that those black insects were actually gnawing on the box containing Gu worms.
"Let's go."
I will never forget that I once walked through the "nail board" underground, the three of us rushed into this road with iron thorns regardless of it, the feet were pierced and messy, after running over, there was a fork in the road in front, Zhang Yang and I ran into the right, and the grasshopper ran into the left, when we separated, I wanted to pull Zhang Yang and then go over to call the grasshopper, but Zhang Yang said it was too late.
After he said this, I heard the sound of rustling behind me, and the feeling of being chased by thousands of insects was a kind of fear from the soul.
"How can we meet like this!"
I put my hands on my knees and gasped, "I'm not running, I can't run." ”
"If you don't leave, you'll be eaten by those Gu worms."
I looked at his exhausted appearance and smiled bitterly, "Look at you, can you still walk?" Don't hold it up, we can't get rid of them if we run like this, find a place. ”
Zhang Yang looked around and looked intently at the front of Yongdao, "If you want to find a place to hide, you can only go back." ”
I also looked at the front of the road, and I couldn't see anything in the dark, and asked him, "Where are you going?" ”
Zhang Yang sneered, "The core of the Wangling Underground Palace, the Huangquan Underground Palace." ”
I didn't have time to think about it, because I felt that those Gu worms were not far from us, so I pulled him and ran towards the depths of the Yongdao, "Huangquan Underground Palace, that's it." ”
The door was open, and I rushed in without hesitation, and Zhang Yang hesitated at the door, but soon he also followed, and at the same time, the grasshopper also rushed in, and half of the heart that hung when I saw him fell, because I saw them here again, and at this moment, the two sides stood in a very delicate position.
