Chapter 16: Strange Fragrances
Woo - where is this? It's white, it's so bright!
I looked at everything around me in confusion, not knowing where I was. I remember my brother carrying me to the chain bridge, and then ・・・・・・ and then I didn't know how to be very weak and wanted to sleep, and then ・・・・・・ was here.
"Hey! Anyone? Anyone?! Where is this?! I tried to scream a few times, but there was no half-dead response. I wondered, what's going on?
Well? That's ・・・・・・
"Hello, girl!" An old man with a white beard floated leisurely in this white expanse, and then stopped in front of me.
"You are ・・・・・・" I didn't know who the old man was, but I knew I had never seen him. The old man seems to be very charitable, but I don't think he is simple. The old man smiled, but I felt dizzy again.
"Girl, my name is Eli. Your life force Kunmu will give back to you, and the moment you die, I will take you out of here and give you a new life. Good bye! The old man's voice came to my ears, and I fell into a coma again.
===== divider =====
"Woo・・・・・・"
When I opened my eyes, my head was still a little heavy, and I looked at everyone in a bit of confusion. Brother, Fangzi, chattering man, and Huahua. I looked at them strangely, what kind of expressions did they have?
"Hey, what's wrong with you? It was as if I was going to die. I blinked and looked at them strangely, wondering why they were all around me.
"Sister, are you ・・・・・・ okay?" My brother patted my face lightly with his hand, as if he felt incredulous. Obviously fainted with weakness, why did he suddenly "resurrect with full blood"? And looking at the old lady, it seems that she doesn't remember anything about herself fainting?
"Master!" Flowey threw herself into my arms excitedly, and she almost cried.
I looked at them amusedly, "What's wrong with all of you?" What's going on? "I feel depressed, what's wrong with them? Why do you all look at me like that?
The chatter man coughed slightly, and said, "Since it's okay, let's leave quickly, I don't know how to cross this chain bridge." After speaking, the chatter man pretended to stand up calmly, but the soles of his feet slipped and fell to the ground.
uh・・・・・・
"Ahem, cough・・・・・・ mistakes, mistakes. Hee-hee, let's go! The chatter man became hippie again, but ・・・・・・ no one saw the trace of loss that flashed in his eyes.
I stood up, and then I saw the chain bridge in front of me.
"What now? Is it to cross the chain bridge? I asked as I tugged at my brother's sleeve.
The elder brother made a "quiet" gesture, and then took out a glutinous rice dumpling and a small box of rooster blood from his bag. He took two small steps forward, and then first kneaded the glutinous rice into a small ball, and threw them at the chains in different places; Then the elder brother sprinkled the small box of rooster blood on the chain.
The elder brother observed for a while and found that the iron chains had not changed, so he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Fortunately, these iron chains are just ordinary iron chains, we can climb over them directly." ”
"Then climb!" The chatter man acted indifferent, and then the first one crawled towards the chain. The elder brother first glanced at me, saw me nodded, and said, "You climb first, I'll be last." ”
"Okay." I looked at Yoshiko again, "Yoshiko, can you?" Fangzi saw that I was a little worried about her, so she pretended to be bold and rude and said, "Of course I can!" Isn't it just crossing a chain bridge! With that, Yoshiko wiped her face and climbed onto the chain bridge.
"Oh Yoshiko・・・・・・" I called out, and found that she didn't seem to hear. I knew I couldn't waste any more time, so I quickly climbed the chain bridge.
I was slightly afraid of heights and didn't dare to look down, so I crawled vigorously. Although these chains are not very dense, they are not loose and are relatively easy to climb. It's just that the chain bridge seems to be quite long, and we climbed for about ten minutes, and I didn't even see the end.
"Be careful!" I exclaimed softly, and by the way, I pulled Fangzi, who almost fell. Yoshiko gasped a little frightened, obviously a little afraid.
Huahua was lying on my shoulder, she liked Fangzi very much, and couldn't help but say, "Sister Fangzi, be careful!" Yoshiko nodded gratefully at me, and smiled softly at the friendly Akatsuka.
It was just a small episode, and it took about forty minutes before we crawled to the end.
I guess there were too many ghosts and things I encountered before, but I wondered why there were no ghosts or monsters on this chain bridge. But it's better that everyone is okay.
There was nothing unusual at the end of the chain bridge, it had become dark again, and it was not too spacious, allowing only two people to walk side by side, and it was very damp, giving it a very oppressive and unsettling feeling.
"What kind of place is this? Why does ・・・・・・ feel that something is wrong? The chatter man frowned, looking around and feeling a little weird.
"Indeed・・・・・・" Flowey habitually puffed out her cheeks, flew up above us and spun around, and then stopped on my shoulder, "It's strange, there's a strange smell in the air・・・・・・ salty, sweet ・・・・・・"
"Taste?" I sniffed hard with my nose, but I didn't smell anything, "What's the smell?" I just think it's damp. However, as soon as I finished speaking, my brother retorted to me.
"No, it does smell like it." The elder brother walked to the side, took out something that seemed to be a stick (I don't know how the elder brother has so many strange things), put it in the air and waited for a while, then put it in his mouth・・・・・・ uh・・・・・・ tasted it.
"Well・・・・・・ it's salty and sweet indeed." The elder brother pondered carefully for a moment, and then replied.
Yoshiko and I looked at each other at the same time, and then said in unison, confusedly, "This can also taste good?" Or sweet and salty?! Then Fangzi pushed the chatter and asked, "Hey, Nai Jiuwen, do you think there is any difference in this air?" ”
The chatter man didn't speak, but smelled the air very carefully: "Strange smell・・・・・・ contradictory smell・・・・・・"
"Salty, sweet!"
"Salty, sweet!"
Yoshiko and I said in unison. Ha ha! Yoshiko and I looked at each other again and laughed in unison.
"Ahem, ahem, ahem・・・・・・" The chatter rolled his eyes at me and Fangzi, "Can you be serious?" This is in an ancient tomb, and it may be dangerous at any time, okay? You two ・・・・・・ cut! I won't tell you! The chatter man saw that Fangzi and I looked heartless, and he was very helpless.
"Alright, stop making a fuss. I'm afraid there will be danger ・・・・・・ here! The elder brother had a solemn face and felt very uneasy. None of us dared to move forward for the time being, and only observed in the same place, trying to find some clues.
"Uh-huh? What is that? "I shook my head and looked around, but I caught a glimpse of some patterns on the wall. The pattern ・・・・・・ I walked in, trying to see what was on the wall.
"What's wrong?" My brother stopped me, "What do you see?" I pointed to the wall and said, "Look, brother, there seems to be a pattern on the wall." "My brother followed my finger and found the pattern on the wall.
"Come and have a look!"
