Chapter 9: The Ghost Strikes the Wall
I sat here against the wall again, thinking about what my grandfather had told me about how to break the ghost wall. For example, you can tell your direction by using the North Star, throw down a bead and let it roll and follow it. But none of them will work here.
After trying those methods one by one, I got up again, this time removing the gauze that had been tied to my arm and throwing it here. He started walking in the opposite direction, the previous two times along the other path.
This time, every one to two hundred meters along the straight, I cut off a small piece of gauze and threw it on the ground, putting it a little denser in the closest place to the backpack, and putting it down at a distance of thirty or forty meters, and putting the gauze on the ground as I walked.
Walking in the opposite direction means walking in the direction of the footsteps, although the footsteps have stopped, but the fear of the footsteps in my heart has not passed. It's just that if you want to get out of the ghost wall now, you have to go over and have a look.
I walked very slowly, with my flashlight shining everywhere, ready for sudden accidents. But in the silent graveyard, except for the sound of my footsteps and breathing, it was silent and lifeless.
Walking to the place where the footsteps probably appeared, I began to feel palpitations and began to feel a little dizzy, but the jade pendant on my chest and the bronze medal on my waist were not hot, which means that my dizziness may be just a psychological effect, and there is no resentment around, which also reassures me a lot.
After putting down a large piece of gauze in the place where I was dizzy, I forced myself to endure my exhaustion and began to walk forward, cutting the gauze and putting it down as I went. It was only half an hour before I returned to the original point, and this time I walked for nearly an hour before I returned to that place again.
Back where I was again, I was so tired that I didn't want to move anymore. I flipped through my backpack, drank some water, ate something, and leaned back to close my eyes and get up. If you want to get out, physical strength is essential, and at the end of this day, I was in a state of high tension and non-stop running, and now my legs are like lead.
I reached out and looked at my watch, and found that I didn't know when it had stopped, and the watch had cracked. took out the mobile phone to look at the time, only to find that the mobile phone did not know when it had been broken and could not be turned on. I guess it's already night, and night is the time when those ghosts are at their most powerful.
I knew that I had to go now, but I really didn't want to move, and I told myself in my heart that I should take a rest again, rest for half an hour and an hour, and then leave and walk out when my legs are rested. After struggling and contradicting like this for almost an hour, this time I had to get up, because the half of the jade pendant on my chest and the bronze medal on my waist were hot at the same time, reminding me that there were a lot of resentful spirits around me.
Frightened, he grabbed his backpack and hurried forward regardless of the pain all over his body. The movement behind me became louder and louder, and I glanced back, startled, and in an instant the speed increased again. I saw dark green grimaces again, scarlet eyes glaring at me, and a strange smile on the corners of my mouth, as if mocking me, and this time not just one, but several of them floated after me.
I was fast, the grimaces were even faster, and within a few minutes, the grimaces were catching up. I saw a grimace with its mouth open and bite at my neck. I quickly unhooked my backpack and smashed it into the grimace. The grimace was smashed hard by me, hitting the wall of the tomb and falling to the ground. But then he floated up again and chased after me.
And just like that, I ran and smashed the grimaces with my backpack. But what happened next made me more and more frightened, and every time I ran a distance, the grimace came out a few more. Some parts of my clothes had been bitten, two more were gnawing on my backpack, and I felt like my legs had been bitten.
Now I don't have the heart to care about these things, the desire to survive has overcome the pain in my body, and I keep running, trying to get rid of these grimaces around me. The devil knows if these things will be added more.
But then I was almost desperate, because I was back to the place where I had started. This means that I have just run so many roads, almost for nothing, except for adding dozens of more grimaces, I have found nothing. At this time, I almost wanted to give up, but the thought of living in this dark tomb and waiting for the newcomers to see a skeleton made me a little unwilling.
I'm still running, because if I don't, I'll be bitten to death here by those grimaces. While running, I thought about countermeasures, and now I can only really get rid of my grimace by going out. If you can't get out, then you can only add dozens of grimaces per lap by running down again and again, and nothing else will have any effect.
If you want to really go out, you must find something different from other places, and if you find that difference, then it is likely to be the exit of this ghost wall. With this in mind, I began to search in my head for the difference between the place that I had run several times.
Finally, I remembered the difference, that when I walked in the opposite direction, in the direction where the footsteps had just appeared, there was a place that made me feel palpitations and dizziness. When you come from the other direction, you don't feel that way. Then that is, that place is likely to be this breakthrough.
After thinking about this, I didn't hesitate any longer, turned around and picked up the broken backpack that had been bitten and slapped it randomly, opened a way, pulled my legs and ran that way, and the grimace was scattered and chased after me again.
This time, the grimace came even harder, and kept biting my quilt and clothes hard, pulling me back. And I could feel a grimace that bit my leg and drilled so hard that I almost fell in pain. I know now is not the time to fall, and if I fall now, I'll be bitten here by those grimaces very soon.
Just when I was about to lose it, I still arrived at the place that made my heart palpitate, and suddenly a burst of dizziness made me fall straight to the ground, and my knees hurt from this fall, and I suddenly woke up from the vertigo. I looked up at the grimaces, and I didn't dare to approach my side as if I was afraid of something.
And the grimace that had gotten into my leg crawled out as hard as he could, and as soon as he crawled out, he fled to his companion. Seeing that those grimaces were no longer close, I couldn't help but wonder what the reason was. Now the wound on my leg is bleeding non-stop, and I must treat it as soon as possible, otherwise this small wound in this graveyard may be fatal.
There wasn't much left in the backpack, and everything I ate fell out when the backpack was bitten just now. I opened my backpack and looked at it, and there were only some medicines left, and most of the bandages that had been used, as well as a small half bottle of water and a gas mask. The spare batteries for the flashlight, the rope, the shovel and so on were gone.
Looking at the grimaces that didn't dare to approach, and thinking about the footsteps from before, I began to hesitate now. Do you want to find an exit to get out? These grimaces must be afraid of something, which means that what they are afraid of is more powerful than them. I'm now in a state full of injuries, and once I find an exit and encounter something worse than a grimace, it will be equivalent to jumping out of the fire pit and into the oil pot.
Since the jade pendant on his chest and the bronze medal on his waist are not prompted, that powerful thing is definitely not a ghost. Thinking of the bronze medal on his waist, he remembered that this "Triple Life and Death Heaven" also had the effect of suppressing ghosts, so he took it off his waist and looked at it flipped.
Sure enough, when those grimaces saw the bronze medal, they retreated dozens of steps back in unison. But I still seem to be a little reluctant, looking at me from a distance of dozens of steps, like saying to me, if you have the ability, come out, see if I don't bite you to death.
I now know why those earth rats who came in hundreds of years ago died in the outermost layer of the tomb with bronze medals. When these seemingly low-level dark green grimaces saw this bronze medal, they only retreated dozens of paces. If the ghost thing is more powerful, then it may not be afraid of this bronze medal at all.
After treating the wound, I leaned against the wall again and closed my eyes. I don't want to search for the path right now, and I finally have a slightly safe place to rest here, which is what I can't ask for right now. As soon as I closed my eyes, a wave of sleepiness swept over me, and I finally couldn't resist the sleepiness and fell asleep.
I slept very restlessly, and I had nightmares all the time. For a while, I dreamed that I was in a hotel with my big head, and the cold knife opened its bloody mouth and bit my neck; For a while, I dreamed that my grandfather was bitten to death by a dark green grimace, but I couldn't do anything about it; After a while, I dreamed that Kong Sanye grabbed my neck and asked me to die.
When I woke up, I found that some of my tattered clothes were stuck to my body with sweat, which was uncomfortable, and I didn't know where those grimaces had gone.
I had the courage to mark here and walked forward again. I'm going to pick up the stuff that my backpack left off before, especially the stuff to eat. Here, if there is nothing to eat, no one knows how long they will be able to hold out.
Soon, I picked up the things I had left behind, and by the way, I picked up the bandages that had been marked on the ground piece by piece. After tying the broken bag tightly with those bandages and ropes, I put the food and medicine in my backpack again, and after shaking it a few times without leaking, I relaxed and began to look for a way out.
There is no doubt that the way out is here, but knowing is knowing, and finding it is troublesome. I touched all the walls and floors, and knocked on them to find that one section of the wall was empty.
