The masked man froze in place. No matter how Xu Dazhi scolded, he didn't move. Xu Dazhi roared twice, feeling that something was wrong, and was about to use a flashlight to take a closer look, when he saw a person stumbling in the darkness next to him.

This person seemed to crawl out of the mud, and the whole mud monkey almost cried when he saw Xu Dazhi. Lao Yuan shouted: "Brother Dazhi, it's me, you came to save me." ”

Xu Dazhi shone a flashlight on the past, it was Liu Yang. He suddenly realized a terrible question, since the person who ran over was Liu Yang, who was wearing a mask and patting himself on the shoulder?

The masked man was behind him, Xu Dazhi didn't dare to look back, the back of his neck was swishing through the cool breeze, and he felt that his joints were rusty.

Liu Yang ran over unkempt: "Brother Dazhi, hurry up, this place is too evil." ”

Xu Dazhi made a gesture and asked him to look behind him. Liu Yang took the flashlight from his hand and shone it behind him. It's okay if this is not photographed, as soon as he took a photo, Xu Dazhi saw that Liu Yang's eyes were straight, his teeth were rattling, and the muscles on his face were stiff.

"What's wrong? What do you see? Xu Dazhi asked.

Liu Yang pulled him, took a few steps back, and patted him: "Look for yourself." ”

At this time, Xu Dazhi had some courage, and he looked back. The sight behind him frightened him.

I saw a corpse hanging from the ceiling, the rope was tied around the neck, and the whole person had become a dried corpse, hanging in the air and spinning. The corpse was wearing Lee Damin's Son Jiro mask, and at first glance it looked like a female hanged ghost smiling at them.

The two looked at each other, and their legs went weak in fright. After a long time, Liu Yang asked, "Where did this corpse come from?" ”

Xu Dazhixin said you are stupid, how do I know. He said angrily: "Let's go, let's go out." ”

"What about the mask?" Liu Yangdao.

Xu Dazhi glanced at him: "If you want to take it, go over and get it." ”

Liu Yang wiped his face: "This mask is a very important clue, you can't stay here, you must take it!" Brother Dazhi, I will definitely take it, but don't go, come with me. ”

Xu Dazhi seemed to know him for the first time, and gave him a thumbs up: "You can do it, you are brave enough." ”

Liu Yang wanted to take a flashlight, but Xu Dazhi didn't give him many eyes. What if he hangs the ghost and cheats the corpse while he is taking the mask. At that time, my father can't take care of the wild mother, whoever runs fast will die, hold the flashlight by himself, and be down-to-earth.

The two came to the hanged man, Xu Dazhi didn't go forward anymore with the light, and mouthed the corpse. Liu Yang took a deep breath, walked over slowly, and stretched out his hand to undo the mask.

Xu Dazhi saw that his palms were sweaty in the back, but he couldn't help but wonder, how could this mask run to the face of this corpse? Liu Yang carefully took off the mask from the corpse's face as if he were doing surgery, and the whole movement was very gentle. The mask didn't dare to hold it with his hands, so he changed it to two fingers to pinch, shaking while pinching, sweating like pulp. Liu Yang had a lot of dust on his face, washed by sweat, like a kitten with a flowery face.

Finally took off the mask, revealing the true face of the corpse.

I don't know how long this dried corpse has been dead, it has long since turned into a skeleton, and the charred black skin is clinging to the outside of the bones, forming a very terrifying image. Liu Yang took the mask, turned back to Xu Dazhi and said, "Take care of its clothes." ”

Xu Dazhi admired Liu Yang's courage a little, he didn't run at this time, but wanted to do further research. He shone down with his flashlight, and in the light he saw that the clothes on the dead man's body had long been torn into strips. But it's still vaguely recognizable, and it's a very old-fashioned monochrome fabric. Such clothes were seen only in the seventies and eighties of the last century.

The corpse was very petite, and Liu Yang came to Xu Dazhi and said, "It should be a child." ”

Xu Dazhi nodded, judging from his stature, this deceased should not be more than fifteen years old.

Liu Yang said that when he went to get the mask just now, he found that the mask was not completely tied to the corpse's face, but was loosely attached to it. He judged that the mask should have fallen through a gap in the floor of the attic, and by coincidence, it happened to fall on the corpse's face, so this effect was caused.

Xu Dazhi laughed dryly: "It's like a story." ”

"Who knows?" Liu Yang shook his head: "This step is like a calculation. I don't know why the floor slab will collapse, I fell here, have you thought about it. ”

Xu Dazhi was in no mood to discuss with him, he just wanted to leave here, and simply said two words: "Find the door." ”

Liu Yang pointed to the window not far away and whispered: "Generally, the layout of the room is that the window is facing the door, and the door should be opposite. ”

Speaking of the window, Xu Dazhi's heart moved, and he just saw someone by the window. Thinking of this, I took a flashlight to shine it, and sure enough, the figure in front of the window was still there. He touched Liu Yang and showed him his mouth.

Liu Yang said in a low voice: "Forget it, don't make any extraneous branches, this place is too weird, let's go out and talk about it." ”

The two of them helped each other to walk, and after a short time, an iron door appeared on the Hesse wall in front of them. When the two of them came to the door, Xu Dazhi dragged it with his hand, completely locked, and the door was motionless. In the light and shadow, I saw that this iron door was very old, and there was an iron bolt on the door, which was tightly stuck on the door frame, and a rusty lock hung on it. The lock was the size of an adult's palm, rusty and covered with cobwebs.

Xu Dazhi estimated that even if he had the key in hand now, he couldn't open it, and the keyholes were rusty.

What to do? Xu Dazhi broke out in a cold sweat, could he only climb back to the attic? Just thinking about it, suddenly the door in front of him "banged" with a crisp sound. This sudden sound frightened the two of them, so they hung in their pants.

The two looked at each other, and kept swallowing saliva, why did this door ring for no reason.

At this time, the sound of urns outside the door came from the sound of urns: "Two children, are you inside?" ”

It's an old boy! The door was so thick that the sound was coming in from the outside, and the voice was distorted, and it sounded very strange. Xu Dazhi hurriedly shouted: "Here!" We're in! ”

The old boy shouted outside: "The door is locked, can it be opened inside?" ”

Xu Dazhi was sweating anxiously: "I can't open it, there is a lock inside." At this, he suddenly sensed that something was wrong. The door locks in ordinary rooms are hung on the outside of the door, how can the locks here be locked in the door?

At this time, the situation was urgent, and he couldn't think about it, Xu Dazhi knocked on the door: "Brother Tong, what now?" ”

"See if you can climb back to the attic where it collapsed." The old boy shouted.

Xu Dazhi and Liu Yang had no choice but to return to the collapsed place, looking up, the distance of more than three meters was really not fun. Again, it's in the middle of the room, and it's going to climb up, and there's not even a hand.

Xu Dazhi shouted anxiously: "Brother Tong, you can't climb up, what should I do?" ”

The old boy said outside: "Don't worry, I'll go find someone, you wait inside for a while." Be calm, don't be afraid, and wait for me to come back! ”

Liu Yang sat on the rubble and touched his face: "Brother Dazhi, it's already like this, then wait, is there smoke?" ”

Xu Dazhi said angrily: "There is smoke and no fire." ”

Liu Yang looked at the mask in his hand, and Xu Dazhi stood next to him and shone it with a flashlight. This legendary mask was finally seen with my own eyes today.

The mask is very realistic, and there is a certain toughness and texture when pinched, just like human skin. Pinching it in Liu Yang's hand, the expression of the mask actually changed with the deformation of the surface, crying or laughing, sad or angry, showing in the dim light, there was an extremely confused and frightened image.

Liu Yang rubbed for a while and handed it to Xu Dazhi.

Xu Dazhi didn't want to take it, he was a little unlucky, but he was really curious. Hesitate, but take it in your hand. The flashlight shines from behind the mask through the empty eye sockets, and the whole face seems to come alive. Xu Dazhi rubbed gently, and there was really a strange feeling of touching a woman's face.

At this moment, he was extremely infatuated and had an urge to put this mask on his face.

As soon as he was stunned, Liu Yang took the mask from his hand. Xu Dazhi's heart trembled, this thing is really evil.

At this moment, there was a sudden "commotion" in the silent room. The two of them were already highly nervous, and the sudden strange sound was frightened.

Liu Yang straightened up to the window and signaled where the voice came from. Xu Dazhi nodded.

The two supported each other and tiptoed over. The figure in front of the window was still the same figure, motionless, and it seemed to be a corpse.

"Let's take a look." Liu Yang said.

"I just realized how bold you are." Xu Dazhi said in a low voice.

Liu Yang smiled bitterly: "I let those friends practice it." I used to be not much more daring than a rabbit. Since I got to know the few pieces of the Lantern League, the frequent exploration of the murderous house and the haunted house has slowly grinded out. ”

"Lantern League? I think you wrote about this expedition in your novel. Is your novel true? Xu Dazhi asked this question again.

Liu Yang laughed: "In fact, the novels I have published are only a small part of the stories I have experienced. There are many other things that I didn't write into the manuscript, but organized into personal notes. When I have time and opportunity in the future, I will post a more complete version on the Internet, including all the content that is not in the manuscript. ”

At this time, the two walked to the window. Sure enough, there was a corpse lying on its stomach, facing the window, with its back to them, and judging by the clothes on it, it should be of the same age as the child who hanged it.
