I held my breath, my empty fingertips slowly passing through the strange crack, every pore extremely sensitive, and suddenly, I touched something like hair, a pinch of white hair, déjà vu.

Isn't this the white hair that fell off Wu Santong's body, did he come before, I guessed well, there must be something hidden in it, and I very much suspect that he told us a big lie.

I shook off my white fur and stretched out my hand again, this time I quickened, but at the same time, a strong suction force caught me in the air, and sucked it up the stairs again, and watched the cooked duck fly, so anxious that I was so anxious that I struggled to no avail.

In just two or three seconds, I jumped up like a grasshopper while I was sleeping on the ground, and the movement was so loud that Dai Ma and Wu Santong stared at me with wide eyes as if they had seen a ghost.

I quickly explained, only to say that I had a nightmare.

"Good guy, it's not good for people to sleep, I'll find somewhere else to sleep." Wu Santong rushed to the door with a "whoosh".

Wu Santong's departure was exactly what I wanted, and I took the opportunity to quickly run to Dai Ma's side and said to him: "I saw something in the dark room just now, which may be related to 'antiquities', you come with me." ”

Confused, Daema stopped me and asked, "Didn't you just sleep, when did you go to the dark room, and how did you find that place?" ”

"I can't say it clearly for a while, anyway, come with me first, and besides, you can't tell Wu Santong about this matter, he is not honest." Seeing that I was anxious, Daima had to put aside his doubts for the time being.

I lit two candles and handed them to the back of the Daima. He hurried down to the dark room, and without the special state he had before, he realized how worthy of the name of the dark room was—it was completely pitch black.

But in this way, the eyes are much cleaner, and you don't have to worry about those torture tools.

In the dim light of the candles, I cautiously descended the second step below, and when I bent down to look, I was stunned for a moment, the peculiar cracks were gone, and at last I checked each step in succession. There was no such thing as the thirteen dandelion-like fissures.

I went limp right away. Sitting on the steps, I thought: What is going on, was I really dreaming just now? No way, I wouldn't be schizophrenic to this kind of Cheng dù. Through the light of the candle, I was sure it was impossible. Because the qiē in front of him is exactly the same as what he saw before: a board for handcuffs, rivets, hammers, machetes and other torture instruments. A large hoop on the wall. Three large spatulas, and those scattered marks. I was reminded that this was my second time here.

Daima saw that I hesitated. Without saying a word, he asked me softly: "Layue, are you in the wrong place?" ”

"No, absolutely not, I've been here, the one in the dark room is exactly the same as what I saw, it's just now, how could I be wrong, besides, there is only this one in the dark room!" In case the Chiang family had a second identical darkroom in store, I sought confirmation from Daima.

"Yes, the Jiang family only has this one dark room. Layue, what happened just now, have you been here, don't go into a dead end alone, you might as well sue me if you see anything. Daema put his hand on my shoulder and comforted me a few more words.

I said, "While we were sleeping, I suspected that I was out of my body and had not only come to this dark room, but also ...... I also saw some regular cracks in the middle of the second step, I reached in and groped, but unexpectedly let me get the white hair that Wu Santong fell off, and when I wanted to find out more, a force sucked me back...... I woke up with a ......."

Daema listened to me, pondered for a moment, and then asked me, "What kind of crack?" ”

"If I'm not mistaken, it's thirteen dandelion-shaped flowers."

"What, are you sure you're right?" Completely ignoring the candle in his hand, Daima leaped towards me, and because he was so fast, the candlelight went out a moment after he got up.

I was startled by his actions and thought he was going to pounce on me, but he stopped a centimeter in front of me and made a surprised expression.

"What's the matter, is there anything dirty on my face?" I asked hurriedly.

Dai Ma changed his expression to Yan Sù and asked extremely seriously: "Think about it again, which step appeared, we must not be mistaken, we only have one chance." ”

I didn't have time to ask in detail, I was infected by his stern state, closed my eyes and thought about it again in my mind, and after confirming the position, I pointed to the middle of the penultimate staircase.

Dai Ma looked at it, and confirmed it with his hand inch by inch several times, then took out a palm-sized gossip mirror from his body, took the candle in my hand, placed it between the steps and the gossip mirror, and after moving it sideways a few times, a miracle appeared.

I shouted, "Yes, yes, this is the pattern." ”

After turning back and making a silent gesture to me, Daima quickly returned to his "working state", and the pattern became more and more obvious, as if it was emerging from the inside of the steps.

I could feel how nervous Daima was, and the heat emanating from him made my pores sweat before I knew it.

"It's almost there." Daima said casually.

As I wiped my sweat, the pattern was completely unfolded in front of my eyes, and it turned out that it was not in the shape of a dandelion, but a continuous feather, and I did not count the number wrong, there were thirteen.

Dama was so tired that he sat down on the steps, the candle in his hand only had a wax head left, and the candlelight flickered......

Is this the end, I muttered to myself, and asked Daima, who just waved his hand and asked me to sit down too.

I sat down with him, and not only was the candle about to burn out, but I saw that the gossip mirror in his hand was also blackened, so I picked up the candle he had thrown away and lit it.

"Wait."

"Ah, what are you waiting for, how long are you going to wait?"

"This matter is not in a hurry, the more urgent the time passes, the first step is not dangerous, and when the day dawns, the second step will probably be."

"The second step you mean is time?"

"Yes, as long as the first step is completed, it means that we are not wrong, so don't worry, but if we want to know what is hidden inside, I'm afraid we won't know, and we can only give the answer in time. The reason why I am more nervous than you is because of what you said, you said that you were suddenly sucked back by a powerful force, and I have had the same experience before, but not when I was out of my body, but from that time, I realized that the pattern of these thirteen feathers was warning of something, how dangerous it was, and how intimidating what was hidden inside.
