Chapter 31: The Trapped Man
Tofu was looking at it with his neck stretched, and as soon as I closed the door, he tilted his head and asked, "What?" Hand cramps? I felt that my throat and eyes were a little dry, so I winked at Tofu and Zhen Rui and said, "There are a pair of feet behind the door." ”
Hearing this, everyone changed color in unison, and even Zhen Rui, who had always looked calm, couldn't help but change his face, and said in a deep voice: "What else is there besides feet?" ”
I thought back to the scene just now, and I only felt palpitations, as soon as anyone pushed the door open, they saw a pair of hanging feet hanging in the air, and I guess I couldn't calm down. The feet were about the height of my waist, and I couldn't see what was above the feet, but I guess what was behind the door was probably the same as what we saw behind the sails.
For a while, everyone didn't dare to act rashly, but it was not a way to block the door like this, I made up my mind and motioned to everyone to take out their weapons, no matter what it was, it was impossible to dodge, and if you wanted to figure out the truth of the matter, you had to move forward.
Immediately afterwards, I pushed the door violently, the vermilion wooden door made a creaky sound, suddenly opened, for a time the dust was flying, everyone had guns in their hands, some had knives, and the tofu was copying the shovel and looking ready to smash people at any time, who knew that the door was pushed open, everyone was stunned, because the door was empty behind the door, there was only a dark corridor, how could there be any feet.
Zhen Rui raised his eyebrows, half of his disfigured face was facing me, his bulging eyes looked extremely terrifying, and said, "What's the matter?" "I'd rather he face me with the other half of his face, because this half of his face, in this environment, is even more terrifying, it's really hard to get used to.
Tofu touched his head and said, "Lao Chen, are you too nervous and dazzled." ”
I looked at the scene very well, and thought back to the scene just now, it was absolutely impossible to be wrong, so I motioned for everyone to gather the light source in one place, and carefully observed the corridor behind the door. On one side of this corridor is a forest garden, and on the other side is a side hall with a closed gate, and the flowers and plants in the forest garden grow wildly, showing their teeth and claws in the light, and the thought of these flowers and plants that have been buried under the swamp many years ago, and now appear in this form before our eyes, it is extremely strange.
Gu Wenmin glanced at it a few times and said, "That thing must have entangled us, so everyone should be careful." ”
Xiao Jing said: "I don't know what to do with such a large building, you say, where does this corridor lead?" ”
Tofu's eyes rolled, and he wanted to scare her again, and said: "It is said that this is built in imitation of the Yin Si Treasure Palace, so ah, the corridors and rooms here are for the little ghosts in the underworld to enter and exit, and this passage may be connected to hell." Hearing this, Zhen Ji laughed, pointed to the tofu and said, "Fooling people as three-year-old children, do you think they are all as easy to be fooled as you." ”
Yes, within a few days, Zhen Ji also saw through the essence of tofu. His words hit the tofu very hard, the tofu did not achieve the goal, so he was very depressed, waved the flashlight, and walked into the corridor first, everyone rushed in, and when he walked to the door of the closed side hall, Zhen Rui suddenly sighed and said loudly: "Chen Hang, come and see." ”
He pointed to the closed wooden door, as if he had found something.
I walked in front of him, just looking around, worried that the hidden thing would suddenly come out, so I was a little distracted, and now I looked in the direction of Zhen Rui's finger, and I couldn't help but be stunned, because there was a fork on the wooden door of the side hall.
This fork is drawn with something like a dagger, and under the fork, there is a strange symbol, a bit like a deformed character, like a white character, like a Japanese character, and like a Xiang character.
What does that mean?
When everyone came together, they heard him say, "It seems to have been marked by someone." He knew about me and asked me, "Brother Chen, could it be the mark left by Old Man Chen and his party?" ”
I stared at the deformed word and said, "Possibly, this word is very much like a white word." "When I invited my grandfather to come, wasn't it just a blank letter?
Gu Wenmin frowned slightly and said, "What does this fork mean?" ”
Tofu touched his chin and said, "The fork is the wrong meaning, could this mark be a sue to us, in this side hall, there is no old man Chen what they are looking for, so there is no need to go in?" This speculation is quite reliable, think about it, the simplest understanding, it seems to be like this.
Xiao Jing said: "Since it's wrong, then we don't have to go in, right?" I thought about it, and said in my heart: Since there is a mark left by Grandpa and his party on this door, they must have entered, maybe there are any clues left in it, according to their whereabouts, maybe they can find out the purpose of Grandpa's trip. As soon as these thoughts turned, I had the heart to go in and explore, so I said to Xiao Jing: "If you are afraid, stay outside, and I will go in and explore." ”
Zhen Rui and the others were even more afraid of things, and they were completely in the same place as me, and immediately everyone was about to push the door in, but Zhen Ji pushed it violently, and couldn't help but sigh, saying, "The door is locked from the inside." As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at each other, all confused. It's normal for a door to be locked from the outside, but it's not normal to lock it from the inside.
If you want to lock it from the inside, you have to have someone inside, is it possible, there are still people behind this wooden door?
This door is not as tightly closed as the current security door, there is a small slit in the middle, thinking of this, I can't help but close the light to the slit, and put my eyes on it to look in. At first glance, I met a cloudy yellow eyeball, which was also attached to the crack of the door, and was looking at me, and then the eyeball rolled a little.
My frightened hand shook, and the flashlight snapped to the ground, and I was not lightly frightened. Originally, I wanted to peek inside to see what was inside, but I found that there were people peeping on us inside, and it wasn't necessarily whether the things inside were people or ghosts, not to mention the terrifying feeling.
My reaction was so big that everyone was baffled, and Tofu's expression suddenly became nervous, and he said: "Lao Chen, aren't you not afraid of heaven and earth, what you see, you are scared of this virtue." I swallowed and said, "There's someone in there...... Maybe it's a ghost, it's, it's watching us through the crack in the door. ”
When Xiao Jing heard this, she screamed in fright, and hurriedly stayed away from the crack in the door, and hid behind me in fright. Tofu's face changed, and he said, "There are no living people in this place except us, it must be a zongzi...... No, how can Zongzi peep at us? Zhen Rui stared at the wooden door with straight eyes, and said darkly: "It's a person or a ghost, just go in and take a look." After saying that, Zhong Gong and Zhen Ji winked, and the two of them understood, and immediately began to bang on the door.
Tofu and I naturally can't be idle, scared and scared, but we weren't scared either, so we immediately slammed the door together.
Under the impact of several of our big men, the wooden door slammed open in a few clicks, Gu Wenmin had already held the gun, the gun was loaded, and he fired a shot without saying a word, who knew that as soon as the door was opened, it was dark behind it, and there was nothing as far as the eye could see.
Xiao Jing stood at the door and looked around, but didn't see anything terrible, so she cautiously walked into the hall and said, "Where are our things?" ”
Tofu looked around with a flashlight, and finally his gaze stayed on me and said, "Lao Chen, you're not mistaken, right?" ”
I always felt that something was wrong, the first time I opened the door, I found a pair of feet behind the door, but there was nothing when I opened it; The second time was an eye, and when it was opened, there was still nothing; Could it be that it was here to scare me? I have nothing to do with it, what does it do with me?
Thinking so, I ignored Tofu's words and ignored everyone's puzzled gazes, turned the flashlight to the maximum, and began to observe the side hall. There is nothing in the center of the side hall, and on the surrounding walls, many gloomy murals are painted, and at a glance, they are all a picture of a group of ghosts coming out of the nest. Those vivid ghosts, as if they are about to burst out of the wall, make people feel uncomfortable to look at.
At this moment, at the end of the light, a little reflection suddenly appeared, and the golden light flashed, as if there was something in the darkness. I couldn't help but quicken my pace and take a look, and I was suddenly surprised, because under the pillar in front of me, there was a man sitting impressively, to be exact, a white skeleton with rotten clothes, and a watch on his wrist, which was reflected just now.
Who is he?
I immediately realized that he was the one who locked the door behind me.
Could it be that there was some danger outside the door at that time that made him hide in this side hall and lock the door tightly?
Looking at the white bones in front of me, I saw the burden next to the white bones at a glance, the backpack was flat, I squatted in front of the white bones, picked open the backpack with a dagger, and found that there was no food and water in it, the only thing left was a rope, a dagger, and some chisels. Apparently, the man was trapped and died after running out of food.
At this time, the rest of the people also gathered around, and after observing for a while, Zhen Rui suddenly turned his head to the door, glanced at Zhong Gong, and said, "Bring a gun and go to the door to guard." Obviously, the corpse in front of him made him realize that there was probably something dangerous hidden outside the temple gate, otherwise this person would not have been trapped in such a situation.
Zhen Ji said thoughtfully: "He still has a dagger in his equipment, if I were him, even if I didn't have a weapon, I would fight and never sit still." I think either the man was too timid, or the situation was peculiar. "We don't know what this strange method is.
Zhong Gong guarded the door of the hall with a gun, let us feel a little more at ease, he is a strict and reliable person, with him guarding the door, we also have one less layer of worries.
At this time, Gu Wenmin squatted down and said softly: "Let's see if there are any identity clues in his clothes pocket." ”
Hearing this, I couldn't help but pat my forehead, and said in my heart that the police comrades were still careful, and they forgot the most important thing after thinking about it just now.
Who could be this person in front of you?
He could have been anyone on that team, or even my grandfather. Of course, I don't think my grandfather is such a timid person, even if he is desperate, he will fight to the death, and I think this character is reflected in Chen Ci and me.
The word sit and wait will not appear in the Chen family.
