Chapter 122: Fairy Tale Forest (Sixty-Eight) Voice
Help, help, help!
"Whoa, whoa"
With both hands firmly grasping the edge of the pool to support my body, I gasped for air without caring to touch the water flowing into my eyes along my forehead. The dull pain caused by suffocation in the chest cavity is still faintly attacking, there is a dizziness in the brain due to lack of oxygen, bursts of white light flashed in front of him, and he coughed twice uncontrollably, and the liquid poured into the mouth and nose was coughed out again, making the nasal cavity burn all the way to the throat.
"Mo Li? How are you doing? Mo Li!? ”
The wolf's tooth screamed from outside the door, and the familiar voice brought me back to my senses a little, and I raised my hand in shock to wipe the water on my face, took two big breaths to calm my frantic heartbeat, and then hurriedly returned to "I'm fine, don't worry"
Probably because of the choking, there was a tingling sensation in his throat between the words, and his voice was a little hoarser than usual.
"It's okay, come out quickly, you've been in there for a long time, and it's getting late."
The voice of the wolf's fangs after deliberately lowering came from outside the door, and after I said yes randomly, there was a rustling sound outside the door, and it should be that the wolffangs left.
The wet hair sticked to my face, making me feel a little itchy, and I raised my hand to pull the hair off my face, and I calmed down from the accident just now, and gradually understood what the situation was now.
After the strange middle-aged couple took us to the guest room and left, we first confirmed that this was indeed the fairy tale of Princess Pea from the exaggerated and peaculous bed and the peas under the mattress, and then searched the entire guest room. The bathrooms are luxurious, and the most important feature is a luxurious bath. This bath is a few points larger than the public baths I've seen before, and I'm afraid it's a mistake to accommodate dozens of people at the same time, and although I don't know what the principle is, the water in the bath is always flowing, and the temperature is moderate, just slightly hot and not unbearable.
After soaking wet in the rain, there's probably nothing more appealing than a hot tub and a soft, comfortable bed. Although the bath was big enough for all of us to enter together, there was no intimate friendship between us, and there was even some hostility, plus there was a difference between men and women, so the seven of us ended up taking turns using the bathroom one by one, and I happened to be the last.
When we arrived at the castle, it was actually more than eight o'clock in the evening, but the darkness caused by the heavy rain made it impossible for us to judge the time by the sky. By the time everyone else had washed up, it was a few hours later, and it was nearly eleven o'clock when I entered the bath, which was late at night.
Probably because of the exhaustion and rain and cold, I completely relaxed when I soaked in the slightly hot water, and the relaxation of my body brought about a dissolution of consciousness, and before I knew it, I fell asleep in the steaming heat.
In my sleep I seemed to have a dream, the dream was very vague, it was a misty and chaotic scene, as if I had opened my eyes in the water, only the shaking and turbulent water waves in front of me, but I couldn't see what was in the water, only the voice was very clear, as if someone was lying on my shoulder, leaning into my ear to pray, screaming.
It was a woman's voice, and she was crying out for help to me.
Is it a dream? It's a dream, I shook my head hesitantly, trying to wake myself up. In my sleep, my whole body slipped into the hot water, and I was enveloped and swallowed by the pool water, almost suffocating, and the painful struggle made me still have some heart palpitations. For a moment, I couldn't tell whether I was being engulfed in hot water or devoured by the screaming girl, and I didn't know whether it was the pain of suffocation or the call of the wolf's fangs that woke me up.
Maybe it's just that I'm too tired, don't you say that I think about it day and night and dream about it? I've been in a state of nervousness for the past two days, and I can't think of it all at once, so I'm going to have nightmares.
I thought about it for a year as I crawled out of the pool to find my clothes. I had washed my clothes and baked them next to a special crate containing steaming stones, which were now dry.
I felt that the whole person had been healed, and for a while I forgot all the dangers and hardships before, and the pain of almost drowning and suffocation just now, and I just wanted to jump into the big bed and sleep beautifully.
Danger or conspiracy, wait until I wake up!
With this in mind, I walked towards the bathroom door, and as I was about to step out of the bathroom, I immediately lay down in bed and slept a little willfully.
"Help me"
A voice rang out abruptly, and my hand holding the doorknob trembled, and my whole body froze. This time I'm sure I heard it! That voice wasn't my dream!
I swallowed, and reason told me that the voice, though strange, was probably an important clue in this fairy tale, and that I could not escape it, and that I had to hear what the woman who asked me to save her had to say. I comforted myself by telling myself not to be afraid, that there were wolf fangs outside the door, and that I would not be in danger, and I mustered up the courage to turn around suddenly, and grabbed the doorknob with one hand behind my back, ready to rush out at any moment.
The wolf tooth pendant on my chest was thrown up a small arc as I turned around, and then fell to my chest, a slight collision gave me courage, through the steaming heat I looked left and right for the source of the sound, when my eyes swept over the surface of the pool water, I found that there seemed to be something strange, but when I looked at it, I felt that the blood was going to coagulate in an instant - a human face appeared on the surface of the pool water!
"You, you?" I heard my voice tremble a little, but I wasn't in the mood to control it anymore.
I can't describe how I'm feeling right now, just when you're at your most relaxed and comfortable, all of a sudden fear really comes to you, and it's really not a good feeling.
The water had been flowing, so it was not calm, and now a human face appeared on it, making the fluctuations of nature a little strange in my eyes. The surface of the water is slightly convex, and the facial features depicted are clearly visible, even if you take a cursory glance, you can see that the face that emerges is a beauty, if it were not for the fact that the face is completely transparent and colorless, and the part that should be hair is completely integrated with the surrounding pool water, I would even suspect that this is just a woman who was originally hidden in the pool water, and now it has only surfaced.
"Save me, save me"
This time I could clearly see the mouth of the man's face opening and closing slightly, and the sound was indeed coming from it. What is this face? Water ghosts?
"How am I going to save you," I asked, swallowing, trying to ask.
"I'm below you, come to me below you, get me out, get me out"
The faint voice of the human face was like a complaining female ghost, with a little poignancy and pain, obviously not very sharp, but I still felt a discomfort in my ears when I heard it, which made me feel that the sound was like a needle, drilling from the ear into the nerves that pierced the brain, making my spirit in a trance, and even giving birth to a feeling of wanting to vomit.
However, after saying this, the man's face fluctuated twice, and dissipated as if it could no longer maintain this appearance, turning into a puddle of water and merging into the surrounding pool, and the pool water returned to its original normal appearance.
Before I could recover from this sudden strangeness, I stared blankly at the pool of water for a few more moments, and then I was sure that it had left, and hurriedly opened the bathroom door and rushed out of it.
Closing the bathroom door, leaning back against the bathroom and gasping for air, only now, the panic and fear in my heart broke out, clutching the wolf tooth pendant and trying to calm myself down in my heart, I looked around, only to find that everyone else had climbed into the high bed to rest, the surroundings were very quiet, there was almost no sound, it seemed that everyone was asleep, a safe and comfortable atmosphere, as if what I had just encountered was just my delusion.
"Mo Li?"
The voice of the wolf tooth came from the side, I followed the voice, and when I saw the wolf tooth sit up from the bed, my heart suddenly settled down a lot, and I hurriedly called out, "Wolf tooth, I just ran into a strange thing in the bathroom!" ”
"Weird stuff?" Wolf Fang repeated in a low voice, pausing for a few seconds as if thinking, "You wait for me to go down, everyone else is asleep." ”
Wolf Fang jumped off the high bed as he spoke, and he jumped so easily that he landed without making much noise, and did not affect the others who were asleep at all. After jumping out of bed, he walked up to me, leaned slightly against the bed next to him, and asked carefully, "What's wrong?" What happened to you? ”
"I met a woman in the bathroom! No, no, no, it doesn't mean that a woman is just a woman's face, coming out of the water, and I don't know what it should be called, but a woman's face appeared in the pool, and she said to me that I should go and save her, and that she was under me? ”
I thought back to the woman's words and told Wolf Fang what had happened before.
"But I don't understand what she means, I don't understand what's underneath."
"It's her down there," Wolf Fang repeated in a low voice, turning his head to look at the bathroom door, then around the guest room, and finally down his head as if thinking about something, "If this is some kind of hint, I guess it means where we are now?" ”
"Where are we now? You mean the first floor of the castle? I was slightly stunned and subconsciously looked at my feet.
Does the first floor of the castle refer to that hall?
