Chapter 137: The Trapped Room

Because of Xiaobai's departure, I sat in the car and became a little uneasy. I, who have never been motion sick, actually felt a little dizzy.

"Zhou Qian, I want to sleep......" The girl leaned her head on Zhou Qian's shoulder, her face a little ugly.

"Then let's get some sleep." Zhou Qian's voice also sounded a little tired.

The girl leaned on Zhou Qian and closed her eyes, the car drove forward smoothly, the scenery outside the window regressed rapidly, my eyes widened, and I couldn't see clearly at all.

"Are you too tired?" I whispered to myself, my eyes opening and closing unconsciously, "Why don't you sleep first?"

I didn't understand why I was so sleepy, and Mu Ling, who was sitting next to me, leaned and fell limply on my knees.

"Mu Ling, you ......" I wanted to help her up, but my arms were weak and I couldn't lift my strength, and I barely opened my eyes, only to see the tourists in the front row lying on their seats or crookedly.

"There seems to be something... Something is wrong......" A flash of alarm flashed through my mind, and I closed my eyes in a drowsy state and lost consciousness.

…………………………

Although I believe that there are ghosts in this world, I still don't know what kind of mechanism the ghost world operates. After death, the soul leaves the body, and the original body loses its vitality and gradually dies out, but what about after the person falls asleep? Does the soul leave the body?

Some experts claim that dreams are a chemical reaction produced by the discharge of biological substances in the cerebral cortex, but why do sometimes, when people encounter a certain scene, they have the feeling that they have experienced that scene? Have you ever seen that scene in a dream?

Here's how I understand this phenomenon: when dreaming, the human soul travels through time and space out of the body, sees a certain fragment of the future, and then stores it in the mind, and all of them sometimes have this strange déjà vu phenomenon.

………………………

I came to a strange place, in the darkness, suddenly lightning and thunder in the sky, thunder and thunder in my ears, the wind howled, I found myself holding a simple wooden sword in my hand, the tip of the sword pointed to the sky, a lightning bolt in the sky from the black clouds slashed wildly, thunder roared, the whole world was white, the eyes were round but could not see anything clearly, as far as the eye could see was the bright light of lightning......

In the midst of that terrifying apocalyptic scene, I slowly pulled away from awakening......

"It turned out to be a dream......," I thought to myself with some trepidation, "what a strange dream...... "I slowly opened my eyes, and my eyes were a little dim, "Did you sleep until dark?" "I thought to myself, the memories before I fell asleep came back to my mind, and I couldn't help but be agitated, and I was completely awake.

I found myself lying down, and I touched it with my hand, and there were hard bricks underneath me, "Didn't I sit on the bus?" Where is it now? "I sat up slowly, and I noticed that my body was aching and my head was groggy.

"Are you awake?" A familiar voice beside him said.

I turned my head to look, only to see Zhou Qian's long face looming in the hazy light, his brows tightly locked, and a clear trace of melancholy could be seen in his expression.

"What's going on? Where are we now? I touched my sore skull and asked, confused.

"If I'm not mistaken......" Zhou Qian's voice was filled with anxiety, "we're locked up"

"Locked up?" Startled, I turned my head to take a closer look at where I was, and then I realized that something was wrong.

This should be a four-walled secret room, I don't see the existence of doors or windows, the soles of the feet are paved with hard yellow bricks, and the top of the head is also a yellow top wall, the whole secret room is not large, I roughly estimated, it is more than 100 square meters.

"It's ...... Where? ”

Zhou Qian replied: "I don't know what kind of place this is, I woke up earlier than you, and I have carefully checked the whole place, and I haven't found a place to go out." ”

I was silent for a moment, my eyes turned, and suddenly I found several black shadows lying on the ground not far away, one of them looked a little familiar, I walked over to take a look, and found that it was Mu Ling who was lying down.

Mu Ling's eyes were closed, and her chest was heaved together, letting me know that she was just asleep and not dead.

I didn't wake Mu Ling, but stood up and walked to one of the walls, which was also made of yellow bricks, and I touched it with my hand, and found it as hard as the one on the ground.

"There are no doors, no windows, and no tunnels to get out." Zhou Qian walked up to me, "At least I haven't found it yet." ”

"What's going on? Where is this? I unconsciously repeated the question I had just asked, and at the moment my mind was more confused than afraid.

I was sitting on the bus well, but I suddenly fell asleep, and woke up to find myself in a closed secret room, can this make people wonder?

Can anyone explain to me what this is all about?

"We should be underground now." A voice suddenly sounded in the darkness, and a black figure came out of the corner, a middle-aged man of medium stature and a thoughtful face.

The middle-aged man looked a little familiar, I thought about it, and remembered that he was also a tourist on the bus.

He's here too, has the entire bus been kidnapped and locked up here?

"I've just researched it, and judging from the bricks used here and the architectural style of the whole room, it's likely that this is a burial chamber," the middle-aged man said, pointing to one of the walls, "Look at the frescoes carved on the walls, and the arches on the top, that's the style of ancient tombs."

"This is the burial chamber?" I looked at the entire chamber and asked, "But I don't see a coffin here."

The whole secret room is empty, except that there is no coffin, and not even any burial goods have been found, which is too cold, right?

"There are not necessarily coffins in the tombs, and the ancient aristocratic mausoleums were afraid of tomb robbers, so they liked to make the main tomb and the auxiliary tomb, and put the burial goods in the auxiliary tomb, and there were no coffins." The middle-aged man explained.

I asked, "But there don't seem to be any burial goods here." ”

The middle-aged man paused: "The funeral goods may have been taken away." ”

Hearing this, I immediately remembered that someone had brought a bunch of us here, and if this was really a burial chamber as the middle-aged man said, it was not impossible that those antique burial goods would be taken away.

"Your assumption should be correct, this should be a burial chamber." Zhou Qian opened his mouth and said, "Look at the wall, except for the ancient tombs, I can't think of any place where there will be so many night pearls."

As he spoke, he pointed to the walls around him, where there was a soft glow every few meters, and if it weren't for these lights, the entire hermetically sealed stone chamber would have been plunged into complete darkness.

The light came from small balls the size of marbles, and there were small holes in the walls to store them.

Zhou Qian said that these small round balls that glow are the pearls of the night? I took a small ball from the wall and put it in my hand, feeling a little cool.

I have never seen a pearl of the night, but a bead that can shine in the dark night, what is it if it is not a pearl of the night?

I put the Night Pearl back into the distance and turned to look at the middle-aged man: "Are you an archaeologist?" ”

The middle-aged man shook his head: "I'm not an archaeologist, I'm just more interested in antiques." ”

Then we each introduced ourselves, a middle-aged man named Zhang Ming, also a member of the tour group, this time with his son to Beijing for a tour, like us, he also fell asleep on the bus, and woke up to find himself inexplicably in this tomb. He woke up a little earlier than I did, and after some research, he deduced that it was a burial chamber.

"What about your son? Is he okay? I looked at the shadows that were still asleep on the ground, and I didn't know which one was his son.

Zhang Ming's facial muscles trembled, and he said worriedly: "My son is gone, he is not in this tomb"

"Your son isn't here?"

Zhang Ming said anxiously: "Yes, the first thing I did when I woke up was to look for my son, but I searched the entire tomb and found no trace of him."

I looked at the dark shadow on the ground again, counted and found that there were six people in total, plus my Zhou Qian Zhang Ming, then there were a total of nine people in this tomb, and although there were not many tourists in the bus that day, there were more than a dozen people, and there were only nine here, so where did the rest of the people go?

A chill rose from the depths of my heart, and I felt like we were caught in some horrible whirlpool, a huge dark cloud hanging over our heads, but we had no idea what was behind the dark cloud

"Who the hell is he trying to do when he got us here, it's kidnapping and blackmail, you said, how much money do you mention," Zhang Ming shouted loudly, and then added in a low voice, "As long as you don't hurt my son......"

I don't know how to comfort this middle-aged man who is worried about his missing son, after all, I am now locked up here with him, and I can't protect myself.

After Zhang Ming's yell, the people who were originally lying on the ground woke up one after another, and they all slowly got up from the ground one by one, rubbing their heads, opening their confused eyes, and looking at this dim tomb with only the light of the night pearl in confusion.

"Where is this?"

"Why are we here?"

"What about my daughter? Qianqian, where are you, Qianqian? ”

Someone was talking to himself, someone was calling his daughter's name. It seems that not only Zhang Ming lost his son, but also lost his daughter.

"We ...... Where is this? Mu Ling's voice sounded beside her, and it turned out that she had also woken up, rubbing her head with a pale face.

I thought for a moment and said, "We should have been kidnapped, this is a catacomb, we are locked up here"

"Kidnapped?" Mu Ling opened her beautiful eyes in confusion and shock, and said in amazement, "Who did it?" ”

"The kidnappers haven't shown up yet, and the purpose is not yet clear," I shrugged, "I don't know who it is"

Mu Ling was silent, lost in thought.

"Zhou Qian?" I turned my head to look at my amazing cousin, who was brilliant and had solved many strange cases, hoping that he would find something, "Do you know what this is all about?" ”
