Chapter 5: The River Styx
Liancheng looked at Qi Meishan who was hung into the air, and he was also anxious!
If this woman dies, he will then have to live alone in this horrible castle! Just thinking about it makes him feel terrifying!
Ghost...... Find a ghost and hang it!
However, at this moment, the rope sleeve in Liancheng's hand suddenly became larger. Liancheng then felt a little strange, and the rope didn't know how to get rid of it. And then...... When he reacted, the noose was already around his neck!
This tree of the hanged will hang them with its own noose!
Subsequently, the noose is immediately tightened! Liancheng immediately stretched out his hands, but his left and right hands reached out to his neck, were covered by rope sleeves, and hung up fiercely!
After Liancheng was hung up again, the dagger was still in his right hand! And the moment he was hoisted, his body leaned against Qi Meishan's side!
And Qi Meishan was already rolling her eyes, and the blood on her face began to fade, obviously helpless.
"Ah......" Liancheng's hand was also tied by a rope sleeve, so he couldn't move flexibly, and the dagger couldn't cut the rope at all. Although the hands bear some gravity, it is obvious that it will not last long, because the noose is getting tighter and tighter!
He didn't want to die anyway!
And at this moment, it seemed that a gust of wind was blowing, and Qi Meishan's body was suddenly blown to the side of Liancheng!
At this moment, he suddenly heard a voice above him: "Don't move! I'll help you go down now! ”
When Liancheng heard this voice, he almost couldn't believe it!
When I looked up, it turned out to be ...... Qi Meishan climbed on the branches, holding a dagger in his hand, cutting the rope that was wrapped around the branches!
That...... Who is the hanged Qi Mi-sun?
As soon as he thought of this, he felt his arm being grabbed by one hand! And when he looked closely, where was the corpse of Qi Meishan who was hanged in front of him, it was clearly a corpse with a split skull from it!
"Ahh
At this moment, the rope was finally cut, and Liancheng fell down again! And Qi Meishan also jumped down with him!
This time, it was still the backpack that hit the ground first, but Liancheng's left hand was smashed more badly, and it seemed to be broken, and there was no major problem elsewhere. And Qi Meishan seems to have good motor nerves, and after jumping directly, he was not damaged too much.
"Are you alright?" Qi Meishan helped Liancheng up and said, "Hurry up and escape!" ”
Fortunately, Liancheng's feet were not injured too much, just abrasions.
"Yes, run...... When did you climb the tree? Lian Cheng suddenly asked.
"The first time you were hoisted, I climbed up the tree from behind."
Although they have been running in the castle, resulting in serious physical exhaustion, at this life-and-death juncture, the two of them still burst out with strong potential!
However, when he ran for a long time, Liancheng looked back...... Suddenly there was no blood on his face!
That tree...... It's always behind, and he and Qi Meishan haven't left it much distance at all!
Then he noticed that there was an empty noose under a branch of the tree!
However, Liancheng also noticed that they were indeed moving, because the surrounding scene had obviously changed, which meant that the tree had been chasing them!
Qi Meishan also turned around and found this, and naturally panicked!
"That tree...... Always following us? ”
The distance between the two of them was no more than ten meters from the tree! It seems that there is no way to get out of this range at all!
Immediately after, the empty rope sleeve suddenly began to extend to the ground, and immediately, it quickly moved in the direction of Liancheng and Qi Meishan!
"Run apart!" In such an environment, Qi Meishan still kept calm and escaped around the tree in the opposite direction!
Liancheng also knew how terrible this tree was, so he hurriedly protected his neck and kept running to the other side. And that rope noose...... Eventually, it's time to chase him!
"Why? Why are you chasing me? ”
Is it because he is the executor of the Demon King-level blood letter instructions?
The noose moved very fast, and he ran around the tree to the other end, and the noose followed!
If you can't get more than ten meters away from this tree, that is, you can only move within a circle with a radius of ten meters, you will be hanged by this rope sleeve sooner or later!
No, after all, if there is no way out, this is a dead end!
Moreover, he did not forget that since there is an empty noose, it means that there is a ghost who has escaped from the noose!
"Liancheng!" Suddenly, Qi Meishan shouted: "Here! ”
He hurriedly looked over and saw Qi Meishan standing in front of him, at her feet...... It's a floor that has been lifted! And under the floor that was lifted, a staircase was revealed!
What is it? Is it a way to live?
He immediately ran over and asked, "You, how did you find it?" ”
"This floor is a lot bigger than the others around, so I opened it and took a look!" Then she went down and said, "Come down quickly!" No time! ”
Liancheng looked at the rope noose that was approaching behind him, and immediately walked in and re-covered the floor.
It's a long staircase, and it takes turns from time to time. Inside this narrow staircase, it is surrounded by walls made of bricks.
When you go to the bottom, there is a door.
Liancheng and Qi Meishan walked out, and the ...... who appeared in front of them But it's a boundless black river!
In front of this black river, the bank is only six meters long and five meters wide, and there are more than ten steps on both sides, and the bottom of the steps is immersed in the black river! And below the stairs, there is a small boat.
"The River ......"
Lian Cheng raised his head, and the ceiling was at least a few dozen meters above it, covered in darkness. But how could he have walked down the stairs so deep into the ground?
However, of course, this castle cannot be inferred by common sense.
Along the stairs, the two walked to the river, and Liancheng took out a bundle of long rope from his backpack and put the long rope inside, wanting to test the depth.
After the rope was put into the water, he kept going deeper, but after a long time, it still didn't reach the end!
"The river ...... It's deep! ”
Lian Cheng frowned, he even doubted...... Could this be a bottomless river at all!
"Liancheng!"
Liancheng suddenly heard Qi Meishan's shout, and when he looked back, he was also stunned! I saw that at the exit of this basement, a bloody hand stretched out with that rope noose!
That ship is in front of the two of them at this moment, and it is the only hope! There was still wood pulp on board, so there were only two.
There is no way, only to go up!
Lian Cheng and Qi Mishan both stepped onto the wooden boat, then grabbed the oars and paddled on the water!
And Qi Meishan held the oar the stairs, kept the boat away, and then kept accelerating the oar!
The wooden boat was not big, and when the two of them sat and rowed together, they both felt a little crowded. And as the two of them continued to speed up the row, they were already a certain distance from the shore behind.
When I looked back, I didn't see any trace of the ghost.
"We ...... What to do? Qi Meishan's expression at this time also gradually sank: "If it goes on like this, it will be farther and farther away from the exit!" ”
Liancheng also looked at her sympathetically, even if he had the ability to return to the apartment directly, if he brought her back, would she also enter the apartment and become a resident? If you want to enter that kind of apartment, it is better to die in this castle.
As time went on, the distance from the shore became farther and farther away.
Next...... It's the same as facing those endless ghosts on this river!
There must be a way to live! Liancheng thought that no matter what, he must find a way to survive!
The water of this river is pure black, the river is not turbulent, it flows very slowly.
Finally, when you can't see the shore at all, there is an endless river in all directions. It's not like a river, it's like the sea. The boat was as small as dust on this black river.
"I ...... I can't move anymore. Qi Meishan let go of the oar and said, "Let me rest...... Take a break. ”
Then she lowered her head and suddenly began to hide her face and sob.
"What the hell is this place! I, I want to go home, I want to go home! ”
Qi Meishan was a girl after all, and she finally couldn't bear this huge horror anymore at this time, and cried. In fact, it is not easy for her to hold on until now.
Liancheng also knew very well that maybe this woman would never be able to leave this hellish castle.
Maybe I'll be like her...... However, Liancheng also has a trace of jealousy for this woman in his heart.
She...... Is it really a living person?
Will the average person be able to live in this castle for a whole day? And know so many rules...... Is everything she said true?
However, her words were not entirely false, and Liancheng decided to stay with her for this alone, so that the hope of escape would be a little greater.
Liancheng is also well aware that the residents do not have any way to distinguish between a person and a ghost, except for whether or not they can enter the apartment. In the past, only Ying Ziye was in the blood character of the ghost mirror, and he used the habit of ghost writing to judge it once.
What if on this black river, this woman suddenly turns into a ghost? There's no way to escape!
Even if you can swim...... Who knows, what's in the river? If this was an ordinary black river, he would not believe it anyway.
At this time, Liancheng raised his head and looked, but immediately opened his mouth!
At first, although the ceiling was dozens of meters high, it was still faintly visible. But now, when I look up, the ceiling is at least a hundred meters high, and it is almost impossible to see clearly!
Between heaven and earth, it seems that only this black river remains! Because there is no reference, even the city can't even discern the direction.
"Miss Qi......" Liancheng pointed to the sky and said, "Look at ......"
Qi Meishan also raised her head, and in her eyes, the ceiling ......, "How, how come!" ”
The ceiling is simply out of reach! This is beyond the limits of what can be seen with the naked eye, as if it were on the clouds!
Liancheng also raised his head to see this scene!
Just now, I could barely see the ceiling, but now, I can't see it at all!
Suddenly, an idea occurred to him. Could it be that this black river is getting closer to the ground? However, his shadow did not activate the curse, indicating that this place is still within the scope of what the apartment considers to be "Hell Castle".
What exactly is this river...... The eerie atmosphere began to reverberate, and both of them sensed that terror was creeping in.
Liancheng, who is paddling the oars, is also constantly vigilant around, always paying attention to any wind and grass on the water surface!
At this time, he suddenly stumbled and almost fell into the water!
"What's wrong?" Qi Meishan also noticed his abnormality, and hurriedly asked, "What happened?" ”
"...... below" Lian Cheng pointed to the black water and said, "Below...... Something tugging at this oar! ”
And then, Lian Cheng felt the thing below, and his strength became stronger and stronger, and he finally had to let go and let the oar be pulled into the black river!
"Put the other oar away!" Lian Cheng immediately grabbed the other oar, in this black river, he didn't use the oars but paddled with his hands, he felt terrifying just thinking about it!
Then, the ship fell into a deathly silence. Without oars, the boat would have stopped. The current itself is so smooth that the boat cannot move.
Thinking about the unknown thing under the water, Liancheng didn't know what to do. If you paddle another paddle, you'll be dragged in!
However, there is a saying that says it well. Blessings are incomparable, and disasters are not singular.
"Liancheng!" Qi Meishan took Liancheng's hand and said, "Look at the back!" ”
Liancheng turned around...... Suddenly, his mouth opened wide!
Behind the water, a black ship much larger than this wooden ship appeared. The black ship looked like a large pleasure boat in ancient times, and there was even a pavilion built on board. On the bow of the ship is a black skull!
On both sides of the boat, there were several black-robed people, holding huge black oars, rowing the boat!
Those oars, several times larger than the wooden oars in their hands, were getting closer and closer to them as they stroked!
At present, this big black ship is actually quite far away from their wooden ship, about thirty meters away. But at their speed, it didn't take long to get close to this wooden ship!
Seeing this scene, Liancheng could only stretch the wooden paddle into the black river and row desperately!
He could feel the huge black shadow that appeared from the coffin in that room before, the black shadow that seemed to completely swallow up all the light in heaven and earth...... It's on that boat!
And...... More than one!
Qi Meishan also put her hand into the black river and kept paddling, both of them were full of energy, and as a result, there was a high splash, and both of them were completely wet. But at this time, who will bother with this, just thinking about escaping!
But, after all, the difference is too far. The black-robed man on that black boat was already getting closer and closer to this wooden boat just by paddling very easily! Looking back, the distance is less than ten meters!
"No, don't!" Qi Meishan's face was also full of fear, and she also felt the terrifying existence on the black ship pavilion like Liancheng.
"Hell ......" Liancheng suddenly became hysterical: "Here, it's the real hell!" Sure enough, it shouldn't have come, this river must be the River Styx, we ...... We're on our way to the bottom of hell! ”
At this time, the black ship was less than five meters away from the wooden boat!
