Chapter 57: Hanging
Li Yang said to us, "Don't let any of you move. He jumped in, polished his lighter, and followed the sound. In the firelight, I saw the copper lock kneeling on the ground, his little face pale, and he was helped up by Li Yang.
Li Yang bent down, groped on the ground for a long time, and picked up the lighter that the copper lock had thrown away.
Li Yang scolded: "Calm down! Like a man! What is there to be afraid of. ”
The brass lock shivered and lit his lighter, and the two flames lit up and shone upwards together.
In the light was a huge bull's head, even the fur and skin had fallen off, leaving only a bare skeleton with some black flesh, and the bull's eye was a deep black hole. The bull's head was tied to the air with a rope, and his expression was very hideous.
Behind the bull's head is a cement wall, Li Yang is much smarter, he walks in a circle with a copper lock against the root of the wall. Walking in circles is the fastest way to determine the size of the room. Following the light in their hands, every seven or eight steps out of the secret room, a dead animal or head hung in the air appeared, including a dead chicken, a sheep's head, a pig's head, or something. Qin Dan looked at it strangely, and said softly: "Isn't this the five animals?" ”
"What's that?" I asked.
"Five animals are five kinds of animals used to sacrifice in ancient times, different sayings in various places, I saw pigs, cattle and sheep, and I immediately thought of this." Qin Dan said.
Wang Chen said "oh": "So, some kind of special ceremony has really been held here. ”
Li Yang walked around with the copper lock, and then returned to the entrance of the cave, Li Yang said: "I already know the size of the secret room, now I will go to the middle to see if there is a long container." ”
My heart was pounding, "Be careful. ”
The copper lock leaned against the entrance of the cave, covered his heart and said, "You go first, I'll cover." ”
Li Yang glared at him, walked straight forward with a lighter, and walked for a while, almost reaching the middle of the secret room. He slowly bent down, the lighter shone down, and in the faint light of the fire, a white container appeared.
When we saw this thing, we couldn't help but laugh, it turned out that this was not a coffin, it was a bathtub.
The bathtub looked dirty, and the white porcelain was covered with a layer of yellow scale and dirty ash, and Li Yang walked slowly along its edge to illuminate it. This bathtub is nothing special except that it is very dirty, and it is common in homes or hotels, and it is very ordinary.
Li Yang slowly poked the lighter into the bathtub, the light faded, and the weak light faintly emanated from the bathtub and reflected on his face.
Li Yang leaned into the tank almost half of his body, not knowing what to follow. Our hearts are in our throats. Somehow, I had a premonition of obsessive-compulsive disorder, and I always felt that there was a female corpse lying in the bathtub, and I couldn't control thinking about it in my head.
After a short time, Li Yang straightened his waist, turned his face to look at us outside the cave, and slowly shook his head.
That means it's empty, and there's nothing in it.
Copper Lock turned his head to us and said, "What the, where did Luo Feng run away?" Could it be that after becoming an immortal, the corpse is wiped out? ”
At this time, Wang Chen, who was beside me, raised his hand and pointed at the copper lock, his throat gurgling, obviously frightened and speechless. The copper lock was looked at by him, and his body stiffened and he didn't dare to turn back: "I said Brother Wang, don't scare me, is there a ...... behind me?" Person? ”
Qin Dan and I also saw it, and our hearts were so frightened that our hearts seemed to jump out. It's not that there is someone behind the copper lock, but behind Li Yang not far away, a foreign object has appeared!
It was a very thick rope, and it was pulled into a sleeve. The size of the set is just right to fit the neck of an adult. I'm sure there was absolutely no such rope just now, but somehow it suddenly appeared out of thin air in the darkness, dangling slightly at the position of Li Yang's head.
This set is obviously used to hang yourself.
Although Li Yang didn't look back, he also noticed something unusual, he took a few quick steps in our direction, then suddenly looked back and shouted, "Fuck." ”
Ordinary people would have been paralyzed with fright, but he could still calmly lift the lighter, slowly lift it up, and shine it in the direction of the rope.
The rope was firmly tied to the ceiling, suspended in mid-air, and swayed slightly. We were so nervous and frightened that we almost suffocated, was this rope used by Luo Feng to hang himself?
After thinking about it, Luo Feng's autopsy suicide was actually hanging.
We seem to see a woman with her head stretched out in a noose, her long hair hanging low, her feet dangling in the air, and her body hanging in the air and swaying gently.
Now there are two questions that have almost no answers: Does Luo Feng's suicide by hanging himself have anything to do with the hanging sacrifice of the five animals? They were all hung in the air by ropes; The second question is where is Luo Feng's body? Is it really an autopsy?
It was getting colder and colder in the room, and we all shivered. It stands to reason that things have developed to this point, and they have reached a dead end.
There was silence, barely audible of breathing.
Li Yang extinguished the hot lighter and blew on the hot fingers.
At this moment, I don't know if it's a psychological effect, but I feel as if something is coming in through the iron door in the back. I didn't dare to turn my head to look, for fear of seeing some terrible scene, so I turned my face slightly and observed with a side light, and there was nothing unusual. I wondered if I was nervous.
The temperature in the room seemed to be low again, and we shivered from the cold, and the cold emanated from the cracks in the bones of our bodies.
I can't stay in this place anymore.
Wang Chen's voice was hoarse, and he said weakly: "Or...... Let's go? ”
Before the words fell, suddenly there was a strange sound from the ceiling of the secret room, in the area where the hanging rope was hung. Tiny pieces, at first glance, sound like something slowly crawling inside.
Li Yang re-lit the lighter and looked up, the ceiling was an old-fashioned wooden lattice structure, and the sound came from inside, and he could vaguely see the white ash falling.
He thought for a moment, made a surprising move, jumped up, grabbed the upper rope, and pulled down hard.
I only heard a loud "click", even the rope with the ceiling, and dragged down a large piece of the whole thing, the dust was filled, the smoke was everywhere, and the flame of the lighter was immediately extinguished. At the moment when the fire was extinguished, I saw the corpse of a female cadre, dressed in red, falling in a large cloud of dust and dust.
We choked and coughed, and the dark chamber was filled with smoke. I crouched on the ground with my head in my hands, my eyes glazed over. Vaguely, I heard Qin Dan shouting: "Li Yang, Li Yang, you have nothing to do, right?" ”
Then came the voice of the brass lock: "What's wrong?" Is Lao Li gone? Mixed with Wang Chen's incessant coughing, the coughing sound did not stop, and Wang Chen was heard yelling: "Don't ......"
There was a sour "crunch" sound, and I poured cold water on it, because it came from the iron door of the room. I rubbed my red eyes and saw Wang Chen rushing towards the iron gate like a rabbit, but it was still a step too late, and the door closed with a bang.
I staggered over, Wang Chen's anxious lips turned white: "Lao Liu, it's broken, why can't this door be closed and opened?" ”
I pushed the door hard with him, and the iron door closed tightly. Wang Chen was in a hurry and hit it with his shoulder, but the door was so locked that he couldn't open it at all.
He was sweating: "What the hell is going on?" There is no wind, why is the iron door closed? How do we get out? My daughter-in-law is still waiting outside. ”
At this time, Qin Dan shouted: "Don't get the door, come and save Li Yang." ”
Wang Chen didn't hear it, he was still dealing with the iron gate, this time he was ruthless, raised his leg and kicked it according to the iron gate, there was a loud bang, and the door didn't move at all.
His voice was crying: "Hurry up...... I don't want to die here! ”
I dusted off my head and grabbed his arm: "Go and save Lao Li first, let's slowly figure out a way to this door." ”
Wang Chen didn't listen, and kept kicking the door there. This kid has lost his mind, so it's good for him to vent.
I turned around and ran to Qin Dan's side and asked what was wrong.
Qin Dan said anxiously: "Li Yang didn't make any sound inside, don't have any accidents, the copper lock has already gone to find him." ”
I patted her, "Don't worry. I pointed to Wang Chen, who was kicking the door, again: "That person is handed over to you." ”
As I spoke, I plunged into the black hole and entered the chamber. The darkness of the chamber was immune to electricity, and I lit the lighter, and there was smoke and dirt, and the ground was white, and wood was everywhere. I walked a little way to the middle, and sure enough, I saw the copper lock crouching on the ground, helping a man up.
The man was Li Yang, his face was covered with dust, as if he had just come out of the refugee camp, coughing constantly, but it seemed that there was no big problem.
I walked over and asked, "Is it all right?" ”
Li Yang waved his hand: "It's okay, it's okay." I pulled a corpse out of the ceiling just now, and you're still there? ”
The copper lock was mixed with him and he said, "You have made such a virtue, and you still have the heart to take care of the corpse?" ”
Li Yang coughed: "You know an egg." Do you know why I'm going to pull the ceiling down? Let's see if the corpse is there! ”
"So do you want it to be there or not?" Copper Lock asked.
Li Yang ignored him and looked at me. I walked to the place where the ceiling had collapsed, carefully lowered the lighter, wanted to look but didn't dare to look closely, probably swept the ground, and vaguely saw a cloud of red, and I said, "Yes, yes." ”
Li Yang said: "Have you read carefully? ”
Let him ask that, I feel a little weak. I had to bite the bullet, took a few steps forward, and used a lighter to take a closer look. The mass of red clothes was lost in a large mass of rubble, and it was impossible to see if there were any corpses inside. I squatted on the ground, trying to pull the red clothes, but I felt unlucky, so I picked up a wooden stick and pulled it slowly.
Pulled back and forth, revealing a thin foot under his clothes. My scalp was numb, so I quickly threw the wooden stick and ran back, saying as I ran, "The corpse is here, the corpse is here." ”
When I came to the entrance of the cave, I saw that they were all there. Qin Dan and Wang Chen also got in. Wang Chen cried and said nothing, and held Qin Dan's hand tightly. Qin Dan was like a big sister, comforting in a low voice. The copper lock held Li Yang and stood aside. I looked at the four of them and thought to myself that nothing had happened to them, and we had to fight together......
Tong Suo couldn't help complaining about Li Yang's actions Meng Lang, either it would be a big deal if something didn't happen, and he would be happy until he couldn't clean it up.
Li Yang frowned: "Shut up." Do you know what I pull the rope for? He then explained that just now, he suddenly felt something enter the room. It felt the same way I did, and I thought I was nervous. Li Yang said that although he couldn't see what the thing was, he felt it very strongly, and the thing burrowed into the ceiling, and then there was a strange sound of small fragments coming from the ceiling.
Qin Dan said softly: "I also feel that something has come in." You didn't see it, but I saw what it was. ”
"Oh? What is it? I asked.
As soon as this sentence came out, the lighter in our hands was actually extinguished at the same time, and we fell into darkness.
I was the first to light the lighter, and I shone it with trembling hands, for fear that they would all disappear suddenly.
"What is it?" Li Yang, who was next to me, asked.
There was also a light on the opposite side, revealing Wang Chen and Qin Dan. Qin Dan said: "That's a shadow. ”
