Chapter 289: Secrets
What kind of quirks? It was this military commander spy, after recovering, as if he was enchanted, and he had to go to the "rotten egg pit" every day to sit for a long time. This quirk lasted until he died.
The more we listen to my cousin tell these stories about the "rotten egg pit", the more we find the pit weird.
"Cousin, what's going on with that pit? Have you ever thought about it? Why are things related to pits so secretive? Hongmei couldn't help but ask.
But my cousin just shook his head helplessly: "I also don't understand, I also asked my master, but he didn't say why, so I'm very worried about your actions tonight." ”
Hearing my cousin say this, several of us were silent. Even my cousin knows so little about that mysterious pit that it is difficult for us to get more information.
The shape shì is urgent, and there is not so much to manage, and by midnight, we have no other choice, no matter how dangerous it is, we can only give it a go.
Because we slept less last night, my cousin asked us to go to bed first to recuperate and move at night. So, we went to my cousin's house, each found a place, and fell asleep.
When I woke up in a daze, it was already late in the evening, and my cousin was not sleeping, but quietly preparing dinner in the kitchen.
Sister Li and the others didn't seem to wake up yet, and I didn't bother them, I walked to the window alone, silently looking out the window, it was already twilight outside, thinking about tonight's activities, I couldn't help but feel my heart pounding. Although I have experienced so many actions, for some reason, this time I feel particularly nervous, and for some reason, even my two eyelids suddenly jumped, I really don't know if it is good or bad.
About half an hour later, the three of them also woke up one after another, my cousin had already finished the meal, and we sat around and discussed the operation while eating, and imagined all kinds of dangers that might arise, but because we knew so little about the pit, we discussed it for a long time, and did not say why.
The time of the night passed so fast, before we knew it, it was about nine o'clock in the evening, and we began to pack our gear, and since the danger to be faced was unknown, we had no choice but to be well prepared.
Gas masks, daggers, tranquilizer guns, flashlights, these are all essential equipment.
Because we have to walk through the woods, bushes, and at night, we try to choose clothing that is close-fitting, but not tight, and has a zipper, so that it is not easy to hang.
Xiao Lei changed into a pair of combat boots, and it was the first time I saw him wearing combat boots.
This kind of combat boots have a high upper, which can protect the ankle well to avoid spraining, and the sole is specially non-slip designed, and the whole shoe is very strong, which can effectively prevent punctures and punctures, I admire Xiao Lei for thinking so thoughtfully, because tonight's action is the most suitable for wearing such boots - the woods are uneven, and there are all kinds of sharp branches and hard shells on the ground, if you are not careful, you may prick your foot; Moreover, the ground was quite slippery after such a heavy rain.
And wearing these boots can effectively solve these problems.
It's a pity that he just has a pair of combat boots, so we have to wear sneakers, but Xiao Lei wears these combat boots to explore the way for us, and it can also reduce a lot of risks for us.
At half-past nine, we did not dare to delay any longer, and decided to set off immediately, my cousin was an old man in his seventies after all, and although he would love to go with us, we still let him stay at home and wait for the results. He also told him to close the doors and windows, prepare his mobile phone, and call the police immediately if he encounters an attack by a blind man, and call us at the same time.
As the night deepened, the streets became scarcer.
When we soon arrived at the entrance of the heritage park, this place, which was sparsely populated during the day, was even more deserted at this time, except for the calls of unknown night birds and insects.
We turned on the bright flashlight, and in the woods where the vines and roses were intertwined, we followed Xiao Lei closely and walked forward with difficulty. Xiao Lei is our pioneer, holding a machete in one hand and a flashlight in the other, cutting down the branches and vines that stand in our way.
Xiao Lei also explained that when we move forward, we must not only pay attention to the situation ahead, but also be on guard in all directions. So, while we were moving forward, I looked to the right from time to time, Hongmei was in charge of the left, and Sister Li was constantly observing the situation behind. In this way, it can be observed in all directions.
In the face of this mysterious "rotten egg pit" and the unknowable danger, we are all nervous in our hearts, and the closer we get to that "rotten egg pit", the stronger this feeling becomes.
In the dark night dense forest, people feel an inexplicable depression, and even their breathing is a little panicked. Finally, after forty or fifty minutes, we came to the "rotten egg pit" deep in the woods.
In order not to startle the snake, when we are far away from the "rotten egg pit", we turn off all the flashlights, only turn on the fluorescent flashlight, and move forward quietly, this fluorescence is not easy to diverge, and it is not easy to attract attention, but as we get closer and closer to the pit, we even turn off the fluorescent flashlight.
Compared to the daytime, the atmosphere here is more eerie and mysterious, and the smell of rotten eggs is much stronger than during the day. We didn't rush to the edge of the pit, but first hid behind a tree near the pit and quietly observed.
This is also what we planned in advance - to keep it absolutely hidden. Only in this way can the "headless creature" that we are longing to find be undisturbed and thus appear normally.
If there really is a "headless living thing" as we suppose, what kind of monster will it be? Because according to the description of Feng Shui masters, each "headless living thing" may not be the same - headless chicken, headless baby, one is more terrifying than the other, so what will appear tonight?
Fear, anticipation, excitement, etc., all came to my heart, and all kinds of complicated feelings made me feel a little breathless. In particular, the smell of rotten eggs, with the gust of breeze, was very strong and made me feel a little dizzy.
Suddenly, as if she had discovered something, Sister Li exclaimed in a low voice with great excitement and urgency: "Look, a glowing little white dragon!" ”
Hearing Sister Li say this, the three of us were also extremely shocked - a glowing little white dragon?! Where is it? Why didn't we see it?
When we asked Sister Li in a low voice, she seemed to be very surprised and asked us: "Just more than ten meters ahead, there are three or four meters long, and they are constantly flying, so obvious, you really don't see it?" ”
Hearing her say this, the three of us all followed her position and looked at it with wide eyes, but strangely, we still didn't see anything.
Could it be that only Sister Li can see this thing, but a few of us can't see it? What the hell, what the hell is going on?
Just when we were puzzled, Hongmei seemed to remember something, and hurriedly whispered to us, "Hurry up and bring a gas mask."
Why did Hongmei come to such a sentence without a head? Although we still can't figure it out for a while, as a doctor, she definitely knows much more than us in some aspects.
So, we didn't ask too much, and immediately put on the gas mask, in this kind of gas mask, there is a special voice diaphragm, so after wearing it, it basically does not affect speech. But even so, after we put it on, we didn't rush to ask Hongmei why she did it, but tacitly waited for her to explain the reason.
After about a minute, Hongmei asked Sister Li, "Sister Li, can you still see that glowing little white dragon now?" ”
"Strange, how did it disappear? I can't see it now."
"Then you take off your gas mask and try it again."
Sister Li took off the gas mask as Hongmei said, and after about a few tens of seconds, she shouted in a low voice with excitement and surprise: "It's so strange, that little white dragon has appeared again." ”
We hurriedly looked in the direction that Sister Li said, but we still didn't see anything!
And Hongmei just said calmly to Sister Li: "You put on the gas mask again and see if you can still see that little dragon."
When Hongmei put on the gas mask again, she was taken aback again: "Oh my God, how did you do it, as soon as you put on this mask, that little dragon will disappear, Hongmei, what's going on?" ”
It's so weird! Only Sister Li can see the glowing little white dragon, and as soon as she puts on the gas mask, the white dragon will disappear, this is really weird, does that little dragon have anything to do with the gas mask?
After such a real time, Hongmei seemed to confirm some of her conjectures, and she let out a sigh of relief, and then explained to us: "Well, it seems that I guessed correctly, the reason why Sister Li was able to see that little dragon just now was actually an illusion. ”
Hallucination? How can there be hallucinations?
Hongmei went on to explain: "Because that rotten egg-like gas can stimulate people's nerve discharge, and as soon as the nerve is discharged, people will have all kinds of hallucinations. For example, people often see ghosts and the like at dusk by the wooded river, which is also caused by this phenomenon of nerve discharge. ”
So that's what happened!
Hongmei further explained that when this smell stimulates people's nerves, everyone's specific reaction is different, which is why Sister Li can see the little white dragon, but the three of us can't.
"So is this gas harmful to people?" I couldn't help but ask Hongmei.
"If not inhaled excessively, in this ventilated environment, the danger to the human body is very small and negligible, but even so, it is better to wear a gas mask, after all, this gas can cause people to hallucinate and make us misjudge the real situation."
In this particular case, Hongmei's professional background plays a great role, otherwise, we are likely to be confused by this phenomenon and cannot understand the truth at all.
It's really extraneous, I didn't expect to encounter this kind of thing, it seems that this pit is indeed weird. Next, I don't know what else will happen unexpectedly.
I looked at the luminescent watch on my wrist, the hour hand was slowly pointing to twelve o'clock, and if the mysterious "headless creature" really appeared at midnight, then the success or failure of this operation, and the unpredictable mystery, would appear immediately!
