Chapter 16: Prison Break
When the old ghost saw us coming, he immediately slipped into the strange entrance. Duoduo and I also hurriedly quickened our pace and followed. As soon as we entered, we heard a "boom" behind us, as if something was collapsing.
This entrance is better than I expected, not a dead end. Not far away, a bright exit can be seen.
The three of us ran forward as hard as we could, and the old ghost ran at the front. I took Duoduo's hand and ran behind, pulling a long distance from the old ghost. Since there was no lighting equipment, I stumbled all the way. The only guide we had was the slightly brighter exit.
Seeing that he was about to catch up with the old ghost, he suddenly heard a muffled snort from the direction of the old ghost in front of him, as if the old ghost had fallen.
"Old ghost, are you alright?" I hurriedly shouted, but no one answered.
Duoduo and I hurriedly followed, and we couldn't see the shadow of the old ghost in our field of vision.
"Old ghost!" I screamed again nervously.
"I'm fine!" The old ghost said, "him, uncle, what's this thing under your feet......"
After the old ghost finished speaking, he was silent again.
"Ghosts?" I was worried that something was wrong, so I quickly called him.
"Don't make a noise, I just want to touch what's under my feet." The old ghost interrupted me, and suddenly, he shouted, ", dead! ”
Duoduo and I were taken aback by his shouting and surprised by what he said. Dead person? How can there be dead people here? I hurriedly lit the electronic watch in my hand and used the faint light to illuminate it. As soon as the watch was pressed on, a dead man's face suddenly came into view.
"Mom!" Duoduo was unprepared for the sudden appearance of the dead man's face, and screamed in fright.
I wasn't too surprised, but my hands were shaking slightly. I continued to shine my watch to the side, and I found two more people. I looked around the watch again, and there was no one else, just these three people.
I wanted to go back and confirm the situation of these three people again to see if there were any suspicious clues. Who knows, as soon as the light of the watch hit the face of the first person, he heard Duoduo exclaim: "Li Jun? ", followed by the second: "Dong Wei? The third: "Robert? ”
When I heard Duoduo call out a series of names, I knew it must be the students from both China and the United States who had gone with them to investigate. How could they die in this? If you look at it as an acquaintance, you won't be so scared. I immediately checked them again and made sure they were indeed dead.
I was just about to go up and check again, but at this moment, the whole secret passage seemed to shake a little, and a lot of sand and dust fell from the top of my head. As soon as the old ghost saw this movement, he immediately urged: "Two detectives, let's withdraw first, it will save a while that this place will collapse!" ”
The old ghost is right, let's protect ourselves first. Still with the old ghost in front of us, we got up and rushed to the only light.
Stumbling all the way, I finally came to the entrance of the cave. In front of me was a river with the sound of water murmuring and flowing endlessly. We finally got out of it, and we could finally stop and rest.
"Mom!" Duoduo suddenly screamed and quickly shook my hand away.
I hurriedly asked her what was wrong, and at the same time raised my hand to take her hand again. However, I found that my hand was in the moonlight, and it turned into white bones again!
I quickly lowered my head, put the coveralls on my head, and didn't look at Duoduo again. Because I know that my face must be a skeleton at this point.
"Fang Yu, I'm sorry!" Duoduo apologized to me apologetically, wanting to take my hand again, saying, "I didn't mean to......"
I hurriedly dodged her outstretched hand and said, "It's okay, it's an instinctive reaction, I don't blame you!" If it were me, I would be like this. ”
For a moment, this development was unexpected: Duoduo apologized for what he had just done. Although Duoduo knew my situation in advance, when I actually saw it, I still couldn't accept it and was shocked. And I, sad for myself to be like this, scared her. The old ghost didn't know who to persuade, so he was speechless for a while. The three of us were silent.
In the end, I broke the silence and said, "Let's go." ”
The old ghost hurriedly caught up with my topic, and said, "Where are you going, host?" ”
"Generally, rivers flow east into the sea, and if you follow the direction of the current, you should be able to reach the sea. When we got to the beach, we saw if we could find the boat, and if we found it, we could escape. I said.
"Clever!" The old ghost said, "Follow you is assured!" ”
Although the old ghost is praising me, I always feel awkward when I hear it. Just as he was about to speak, Duoduo grabbed my hand again. Her move was beyond my expectation, and she just wanted to break free. I heard Duoduo angrily say, "Don't let it go!" ”
"What? Don't you feel scared anymore? I asked.
"Of course! It's all you, what do I have to be afraid of? Duoduo said.
This made me feel a little more comfortable, so I simply let her lead me. At this time, the old ghost saw the needle and said, "Hey, I thought that the two of you would go their separate ways, so that I could take advantage of it." Fuck, the hope that was kindled is extinguished again! ”
"Die!" I said it at the same time as Duoduo.
The old ghost was shut up by what we said. Duoduo hurriedly said: "Old ghost, I sue you, Lisa is my good sister, don't talk nonsense." ”
"Damn, it's like what happened to me and Wu Lisha." The old ghost muttered, "That girl doesn't want to see me at all, but the other party is ...... rain."
I heard him start talking nonsense again, and he kicked him up. kicked him so badly that he almost didn't fall into the river. Suddenly, I heard something faintly moving in the woods behind the old ghost. I hurriedly made a silent gesture to the old ghost, signaling him to keep quiet.
As soon as the old ghost shut up, we heard a faint sound of pulling, as if someone was running. I pulled Duoduo and the old ghost and hurriedly found a random place and hid.
At this time, I heard a lot of chaotic footsteps. The group lit torches and hurried towards us. Although I couldn't understand what they were saying, I knew by their words and deeds that it must be the pursuers. The momentum came violently, and immediately the surroundings became ablaze.
The three of us hurriedly became shorter, and we didn't even dare to take a breath of air. I finally escaped, and if I catch it back, there will definitely be no good fruit to eat.
Thankfully, the group didn't notice us and ran past us screaming.
The three of us breathed a sigh of relief, and the old ghost just wanted to stand up, but I held him down. He was about to ask me what was wrong, but I quickly made a silent gesture to him. Sure enough, the group killed again. Seeing that there was no movement around, I left.
The old ghost pouted at me and said, "Whew~ almost fell into the path of 'devil'!" ”
As he spoke, I suddenly saw an extremely familiar figure in the woods not far away......
