Chapter 53: The Giant Face
I walked to the edge of the cave entrance, lowered my head, and looked down with the light, only to see that around the mouth of the cave was a pit wall, on which a section of wooden stakes embedded in the earth was made, which was very similar to the tomb of the Queen of Treasure Elephants recorded in my grandfather's notes.
At this time, the rest of the people also gathered around, and the light of our flashlights converged together, and the range of light was even larger, but the light still could not reach the bottom, and I didn't know how deep this hole was.
Zhong Gong said, "We can go down these wooden stakes." ”
The wooden stake is black, and it looks like it is also a tree hole, and the plank road on the cliff is of the same material, so it should be relatively strong.
I nodded, and said that I would go down first, so I was about to put the flashlight in my mouth, but before this action was completed, all of a sudden, something white appeared at the entrance of the hole.
It stands to reason that there is no light at the bottom of the hole in the ground, and there is no light, and we should not be able to see anything underneath, whether it is white or black. But at this moment, the white thing occupied the entire bottom of the cave, like a big white bun.
I couldn't help but stop the movement of my hand, put the flashlight that was about to be put to my mouth, and hit it down again, and I could see the specific appearance of the thing clearly, however, our light could not reach the bottom, so what we saw was still only a vague white bun.
Just as everyone was staring at it, Tofu's voice rang out from under the hole in the ground: "Come down!" The voice was no longer as urgent as we had heard before, but rather like a casual remark, however, with this voice, the white thing under the hole in the ground gradually revealed its true face.
"Ahh When Feng Ghost Hand saw it, he shouted.
It was a huge human face, looking at us with its head tilted down from the bottom of the cavern, and its whole face was filled with the bottom of the cavern.
That face...... It is the face of the tofu.
To be exact, it's like the face of tofu after it has been swollen.
With the same white eyes open, it looked straight at us, and with a weird smile on its huge face, it continued to shout at us, "Come down." ”
"Ah......h This sound was called out by me, and immediately after, my legs went limp, and the whole person fell to the ground with a thud, and the feeling of fear was absolutely incomprehensible to people who had not experienced it personally.
"Come down."
"Come down......"
Under the cave, the voice kept repeating, my mind was full of the human face that filled the entire hole, and that face still belonged to my best brother, listening to this familiar voice, I almost collapsed, it was a complex feeling of fear, anger, and madness, I didn't know what to say, and when I controlled myself, I had already unloaded a probe shovel from my waist, and the horseshoe-shaped heavy sharp probe was facing downward, like throwing a benchmark, and stabbed down fiercely.
The next second, the shovel pierced the man's face, and in an instant, I heard a whistle in my ears, which was exactly the same as the previous sound, and it also came from the hole in the ground, and then the face was gone.
Deep underground, there was darkness, as if nothing had happened. The voices were gone, the faces were gone, and there were only a few of us frightened limps at the edge of the cavern, and our intertwined gasps.
The terrifying scene just now made even Zhen Rui's face change. I don't know what I look like at this moment, I only know that I really lost control just now, and my whole back is still cold at this moment, and I reached out and wiped it on my face, all cold sweat.
Zhong Gong was shocked: "How can this be. What was that just now? Is it really a ghost? ”
Zhen Rui said in a deep voice: "Even if it's a ghost, how can he become his appearance." "This he, naturally, refers to tofu. Not only the appearance, but even the sound, is it...... Is it really like what Ghost Feng said with a crow's mouth in his hand, tofu has become a ghost? He folded in this bucket and became a ghost?
No! I don't believe it!
Even if Tofu really becomes a ghost, he won't harm me!
In the chaos, I remembered the previous situation, the whistle in the burial pit, the change of air holes when the fire hit, and let us escape into the tomb, obviously, these are all related to Tofu, he is obviously helping us, how can he harm us?
The reason why I did that was because of the extreme fear and anger out of control, the fear of the huge face, the anger at why it turned into tofu. And at this moment, I have a terrible thought in my heart: Tofu, is it dead......
I flashlighted and stared at the bottomless black hole below, my head felt like it had exploded, leaving only a ruin, and my whole mind was chaotic. It wasn't until Feng Ghost asked what to do next that I adjusted my mentality.
Yes, I am the leader of this team, and Zhen Rui and Zhong Gong all followed me to take risks, and now is not the time for chaos. As for the reason why Ghost Feng came over, I don't have the strength to think about it.
I thought about it for a moment and said, "I'm going down, I'm going to figure out what's going on." To live to see people, to die to see corpses. ”
Feng Ghost Hand said, "You can think clearly, I think of that thing just now, hiss...... I feel creepy, no matter how I look at it, it doesn't look like I'm kind. Thinking about Wu Shui's previous injuries, do you really want to go down? ”
I said, "I must go, and if you are afraid, wait for us here." ”
Feng Ghost Hand immediately sneered and said I would be scared? I've been all over the world, and I've never been afraid. Judging by the way he looks, he is going to go down with us. I can't figure it out, Tofu and I gave him a shadow in the bureau at the beginning, what good is it for him to do it now?
A more dark idea, I even suspect that he wants to put a hidden gun in his back, but the price of this hidden gun is inevitably too great. Looking at Feng Ghost's indifferent expression, I didn't think much about it, so according to the original plan, I took a flashlight in my hand, and started to walk down the wooden stake embedded in the cave wall, lowering my head and closely watching the movement below, with Zhen Rui and the others behind me.
The hole in the ground is straight up and down, and the range of the flashlight is so radiant that you can't see anything other than the wooden stakes. Just when I was halfway down, a yellow and clear thing suddenly appeared in my sight, and the light shone upward, reflecting the misty yellow light, and I saw clearly in an instant, it turned out that in the center of the bottom of this big hole, there was a huge brass mirror, and almost stood at the bottom two-thirds of the space.
At this moment, in the brass mirror, the figures of the four of us moving on the stake are reflected, vaguely, I can't help but think, could it be that the face I saw just now is actually in this mirror? But why do you see a face in the mirror?
The reflection of the mirror corresponds, and if the face is facing us in the mirror at that time, then the corresponding ...... Opposite the face, there should also be a face!
When I thought of this, my whole body was numb, and I looked up violently!
I thought I would see the face I had seen at the top of the cave, but I was too worried. There was a black hole on it, nothing, no human face as I imagined. For some reason, I breathed a sigh of relief.
At this time, Zhen Rui was surprised: "There is actually a bronze mirror underneath." ”
Feng Ghost said: "What's more, you see, isn't the shovel that was thrown down just now on the bronze mirror?" It seems that the face is actually in the mirror! Feng Ghost Hand obviously thought of one thing with me, and he also looked up, and finally sighed and said, "What is the name of this bronze mirror in this place?" ”
Zhen Rui was silent for a moment, spit out two words, and said, "Scary." ”
"Scary?" I'm a little puzzled.
Zhen Rui explained in a deep voice: "The mechanism in the dungeon is not only what it looks like on the surface, just like some ancient tombs will engrave some curses, in fact, it is to scare away tomb robbers. You look at the bronze mirror, don't you see anything wrong? ”
As soon as he said this, I couldn't help but look closely at the huge bronze mirror, and at this glance, I suddenly realized that the surface of the bronze mirror was not flat, but convex. Anyone with a little common sense knows that such a mirror will diffuse and amplify the influence of the object.
I exclaimed, "That face just now...... In fact, it is a magnified face! ”
Zhen Rui nodded, and finally shook his head again, and said: "According to legend, the ancient mirror can identify ghosts, if it is really a projection, then there must always be light and a reference." But there was no light just now, and ...... There are also no references. In the end, Zhen Rui is very experienced, and after a while, he analyzed it very thoroughly, and he continued: "There is no light, there is no reference, so there is only one possibility for the face that appeared in the ancient mirror just now...... Ghost. ”
Everyone was silent, their eyes fixed on the bronze mirror below. The further down we went, the more distorted and enlarged the figure became puffy in the mirror, and now it looked like almost four huge balls of flesh. But looking at it, my scalp suddenly tingled, and I said, "No, it's not our shadow." ”
Why do I say that?
Because I found that although our figures slowly puffed up in the mirror as our bodies moved, there were also projections on the wooden stakes around us, and in the ancient mirror, the projections of those wooden stakes did not change!
In other words, only our shadow is changing.
