"Cold Forest Altar? What does that mean? It looks like it's for memorials. I asked Li Yang.

Li Yang said: "You are right. The Cold Forest Altar is dedicated to the worship of lonely souls and wild ghosts. ”

I laughed dryly, laughing worse than crying: "Don't scare people. ”

"Is it interesting for me to scare you?" Li Yang said: "This building is really an evil gate, get out of here quickly." ”

We both chose to walk through the side door, and as soon as we pushed the door open, we realized that something was wrong.

Outside the side door is a long hallway, with windows on one side and residents' homes on the other. The corridor was in ruins, as if it had been burned by a fire, and the doors of the residents' rooms were black holes, covered with black dirty ash, and the walls were broken everywhere, and the walls were full of black burn marks.

We looked at each other and it felt incredible. I've never heard of a fire in this building, and judging by the current scene, this fire is quite large, and if there was a fire of this magnitude, the local news would have spread on the Internet long ago.

At the corner of the hallway, there was a faint light. The light is natural and does not look like a light bulb. Flickering and dimming, it should be a burning candle. I touched Li Yang, and Li Yang said softly: "Go over and take a look." ”

We cautiously walked through the hallway, our shoes still creaking as we stepped on the ground covered with sawdust bricks.

The light around the corner casts a large black shadow on the wall, and the shape of the shadow looks like a static sculpture.

Turning the corner, we saw a strange pattern drawn in white chalk on the black ground. It is octagonal in shape, and the outside of each edge is lined with strange earthworm scripts. On the four corners of the pattern, east, west, north and south, four long red waxes are burning, faintly flashing with flames. On the side line was a small wine cup, full of incense ash, and three long incense sticks were inserted side by side, burning with thin green smoke, tumbling and drifting. In the middle of the whole pattern, there is a statue of a fairy, holding a whip and wearing a red hat, which looks a bit similar to Zhao Gongming.

The huge black shadow we saw on the wall was projected by this immortal statue in the candlelight.

The two of us leaned over to take a closer look, and in the middle of the pattern were written in white chalk side by side with a few lines of very beautiful regular script fonts: Hell Lights Shine, Infinite Heaven, Dead Souls Go Out, Evil Spirits Are All Over the Street.

As he was reading, the wind behind him suddenly rose, and goosebumps rose all over his body. Li Yang and I couldn't help but look back together, the long corridor was empty, the windows of the corridor were tightly closed, and the black ashes burned on the ground rose without wind, slowly swirling in the air.

My hands and feet were cold, and I didn't dare to move. Li Yang said: "Let's hurry up, this place is too evil." ”

The two of us walked to the elevator door, and the elevator's indicator board still didn't turn on, indicating that the elevator was currently unavailable. What can I do? My teeth chattered and almost collapsed. The elevator can't get down, the corridor ghost hits the wall, do we have to live and die here?

Li Yang patted his thigh: "Don't forget, there is a freight elevator in the emergency passage." Let's see if it works. ”

The freight elevator is the only way in the building to enter the private space. I followed him into the emergency aisle and came to the freight elevator, where I almost cried tears of joy when I saw the light on. This elevator is available and we can go down and escape the building!

I was about to press the button when the floor light suddenly lit up and the elevator started running. When I saw the floor numbers it displayed, I felt like I was pouring cold water on my head for a while.

The number of floors on the elevator is actually "22". The elevator is coming down from the 22nd floor! You must know that the highest floor of this building is 21 floors, and the 22nd floor is a huge space hidden in the middle of the building!

The elevator slowly descended from the 22nd floor, and Li Yang and I glanced at each other. A huge chill enveloped me tightly, and I couldn't breathe. My heart was pounding, I couldn't imagine who was coming down from the 22nd floor.

Could it be Master Xie?

At this time, the elevator stopped on our floor, and there was a crisp sound of "ding dong", and the metal door slowly opened.

I made countless assumptions, but I never imagined that this would be the scene in the elevator.

It was empty, there was nothing.

The lights in the elevator were dim, and Li Yang and I didn't dare to walk in, always feeling that there was something clean hidden in this cramped space.

The metal door began to close, and Li Yang asked me in a trembling voice, "Do you want to go?" ”

I hesitated, but I still collapsed forward, and at this time, suddenly a cold wind blew from the elevator, which made my skin hurt, and the cotton jacket on my body was like nothing, blowing my cold hair to stand on end, as if falling into an ice hole.

Li Yang and I ran back in a panic, this elevator was too weird. We ran back to the hallway, and found that the four long waxes on the strange pattern had actually been extinguished, and the wick of the candle was still slowly drifting with the smoke of the extinguished flames, which looked like it had been blown out by the wind. The strangest thing is that the three long incense sticks in the wine cup were dozens of centimeters just now, and now, in the blink of an eye, they were actually burned into short incense heads.

What's going on?

The hallway was pitch black, and the only light was the pale moonlight that came in through the window. I touched Li Yang: "Did you hear any sound?" ”

"What?"

I swallowed: "The sound of chewing." ”

Yes, I heard someone eating again. Li Yang looked horrified, nodded and said, "Damn, I heard it too." ”

This time it wasn't one person chewing, it was a lot of people eating at the same time, like asking Hanako to participate in a gluttonous feast, and the food was delicious.

The sound seemed far away, and it seemed close to us. I pointed to the end of the hallway, and the sound came from the stairwell in the side door.

Li Yang took out a small flashlight, such equipment he has been with all year round, pushed the button away, and shot a faint light. Although the light is not strong, it is better than nothing.

He walked in front, I followed, and we walked down the hallway together, trying to get over and see what was going on.

Things have developed so far that they are beyond my cognitive and psychological capacity, and every second seems to be tormenting. I thought it was all a nightmare, someone slapped me in the mouth and woke me up to the morning sun.

We came to the side door outside the stairwell, and there was a small window in the door that barely allowed us to see inside.

Li Yang glanced inward, his body was obviously frozen, as if he had seen some unbelievable scene. Frightened and curious, I hid behind him and looked in with my feet crossed.

I saw that in the corridor, under the dim light, there were more than 20 people squatting densely. These people, old and young, are like victims who came from the countryside in a famine year, wearing tattered clothes, unkempt, and dirty. Scattered in capes, huddled together, squatting on the ground, holding food in their hands and desperately stuffing it into their mouths.

They devoured what they ate, didn't even chew it, threw it in their mouths and swallowed it directly, and then stuffed it again. It's a fucking rice bucket, if you weren't hungry, you wouldn't have been able to eat like this.

What surprised me was that there were many people, but they were squatting in a very particular place, guarding a small house with the words "Cold Forest Altar" written on it, and the food was fished out of the paint bucket with incense ash in front of the door.

My brain "buzzed", I grass his mother's, the cold forest altar is dedicated to lonely souls and wild ghosts, are these people all ...... Devil?

The lights of hell shine, the sky is endless, the souls go out, and the evil ghosts are all over the streets.

Don't play with us like that.

Li Yang obviously thought of it too, and he stiffly turned his neck and made a lip shape at me. I didn't see it, but I was pondering what he was talking about, when one of the people eating inside stopped and looked up suddenly. It was a lifeless old lady's face, pale and bloodless, and her eyes stared at me in a daze.

Only then did it occur to me that Li Yang was saying "Run!" ”

Where to run? The only way I can count on to escape now is by freight elevator. Li Yangsa and I ran into the corridor and ran wildly to the freight elevator in the emergency passage.

At this moment, the door of the stairwell behind me seemed to be pushed open, and I clearly heard a "squeak". My scalp tingled with fear, and I didn't dare to look behind me.

Running to the freight elevator, Li Yang pressed the button wildly, and we saw the elevator coming down from the 22nd floor again!

When I was frightened, the elevator stopped on our floor, and the elevator door opened, and I saw the scene inside, almost not pulling Xiang into my trouser pocket.

The elevator was actually full of people this time, including men and women, and I don't know how many, crowded and densely packed together. They were dressed in tattered clothes like Hanako, and their faces were as white as paper, and they looked at each other from the elevator. Li Yang and I were outside the elevator, they were standing in the elevator, and the two metal doors formed an obvious boundary between light and dark, just like two worlds.

Don't look at so many people, but I don't feel safe at all, but I feel that these people are ghostly, unpopular, and exude a strong chill from the elevator.

The strong sense of fear made the two of us can't help but slowly retreat. The elevator door closed slowly, and at the moment of closing, an old hand as thin as a withered branch grabbed the elevator door and forced it apart. The leader is a gloomy old man, his face is bloodless reflected by the light in the elevator, and the most bizarre thing is that his two ears are very large, and the earlobes are particularly long, in comparison, a face looks thin and small, wrinkled, like a rabbit into a sperm.

The old man was the first to get out of the elevator, and the strange people behind him followed silently, with a terrifying momentum.

Cold sweat soaked from my forehead, wiped it with my sleeve, turned my head to look at Li Yang, only to find that this kid was gone, and when I raised my eyes again, I saw him running away in the corridor. I was grass, something, he actually threw me down and ran away on his own.

The crowd in the elevator walked slowly, with a cloudy wind, and began to approach me. I came out of the emergency passage and was about to cross the corridor when I saw Li Yang running back with two long legs.

"You ......" I haven't said anything yet.

Li Yang panted and pointed behind him, his facial features distorted in fright.

I looked behind him and was stunned. The people who were in the corridor just now walked out and were squatting at the end of the corridor to eat, their hands flying up and down, desperately stuffing food into their mouths, as if there was no such shop after this village, and they were eating as if they were dead.

Looking at the emergency passage again, the old man led the people in the elevator to come out.

The floor was getting colder and colder, and the padded jacket I was wearing couldn't suppress the cold at all, and I felt frozen all over. Although it is a high-rise building, it is ten points colder than the open air in the wilderness, and it is so cold that my snot comes out.

We were forced into the hallway by two groups of people. I looked at the window and smiled bitterly, didn't we jump out of the window?

At this time, Li Yang touched me and pointed behind him. Behind is a house, which is dark and dark and invisible, and the gate has long been burned down, leaving only a large hole.
