Volume 2 The Eye of the Deep Chapter 57 The White Face Grows Right
I was surprised in my heart, if the person behind me was the second uncle, the person who knocked down the Lantern Festival in front should be Wenmo, so who is the figure in the fluorescence in front? Could it be Zhou Cheng? But it doesn't look like it.
But even if the person in front of them is Zhou Cheng, what are they doing so nervously. I struggled to turn my head to see the person behind me.
The second uncle sensed my intentions and whispered in my ear, "I let go of my hand, don't make a sound." ”
I quickly nodded, and then the second uncle slowly let go of the hand holding me, I turned around and looked, through the faint green light, I saw that it was really the second uncle behind me, I tried to keep my voice as low as possible, "Second uncle!" What are you doing here? ”
The second uncle waved his hand at me and pointed in the direction of the glow stick, I looked in the direction of his finger, only to see that the man had already stood up, still carrying a backpack and walking around the glow stick, but his movements were a little stiff, as if he was drunk. The dark figure slowly walked over to the rope we came down from, grabbed it with his hand, and began to shake.
When I looked at it, I was shocked to find that it was this black shadow that was shaking the rope just now.
I pointed at the person and said softly, "Is it Zhou Cheng?" ”
The second uncle nodded, but then said, "Not exactly." ”
I was confused all of a sudden, yes, no, no, what is not exactly. I looked at the second uncle very suspiciously, but the second uncle waved his hand and pointed to Wenmo in front of him.
I saw Wenmo take out something I don't know what it was from his bag, I only heard a "bang", and then a thing was thrown out by Wenmo in a parabola with a large arc.
I saw a bright spot streak through the air, and I immediately understood what it was, it was a cold firework.
The cold fireworks landed accurately at the feet of the black shadow next to the glow stick, and the black shadow's figure suddenly paused, looking down at the thing that had just landed at his feet.
And at this moment, the cold flame burst out, and the intense white light suddenly illuminated the surroundings as bright as day. And we saw the true face of the black shadow at once, and for a moment, I was so shocked that my heart almost stopped beating.
That black shadow is Zhou Cheng, but what he is carrying behind his back is not a backpack. It was a humanoid thing covered with yellow hair, stimulated by the strong white light of the cold fireworks, the thing bared its fangs, and the demonstration was generally directed in our direction, and it screamed bitterly, and the big white face made me feel numb in my scalp.
Soon, the light of the cold fireworks gradually dimmed.
Immediately after that, the glow stick was black, so the whole burial chamber was completely black, without a trace of light.
At this time, Wen Mo and the second uncle turned on the flashlight and quickly ran towards the position where the black shadow was just now, followed by Lantern Xiao and me. And when we got to that position, we saw a man lying on the ground, and the thing on his back was missing.
We hurriedly stepped forward and turned him over, this person was really Zhou Cheng, but he was already unconscious at this time. Lantern Xiao patted Zhou Cheng's face and called his name a few times, but Zhou Cheng didn't react.
The second uncle patted the Lantern Festival and asked him not to waste his efforts, and then turned Zhou Cheng over again. Wen Mo gently pulled down the collar of Zhou Cheng, revealing the back of his neck underneath. We were amazed to find two purple-red blood blisters on the upper part of his shoulder blades.
Wen Mo reached out and took out his short knife, and with a slight pick of the tip of the knife, a stream of black blood flowed out of the blood bubble. After the black blood was drained, Wen Mo took out a small iron box from his bag. After opening it, I saw that there was some gray powder inside. Wenmo took out some and poured them on the lid of the tin box, and then lightly baked them under the lid of the tin box, and when the powder wafted out wisps of green smoke, Wenmo put away the fire fold, and then said to us: "Hold him down, don't let him move." ”
Although I didn't know what Wenmo was going to do, I still pressed Zhou Cheng's two legs according to what he said. When we were all ready, Wen Mo picked up a little gray powder with the tip of the knife and gently sprinkled it on the blood blister behind Zhou Cheng's back, and in an instant, Zhou Cheng's entire body shook violently, and his body writhed strongly, and the three of us could barely suppress him. I gritted my teeth and pressed him down with all my might. After some tossing, I was tired and sweating profusely.
And Zhou Cheng gradually stopped struggling and writhing, and the two blood blisters that had been deflated gradually dried out and a stream of green gas rose at the same time.
Lantern Xiao and I glanced at each other, and this scene was actually not unfamiliar to the two of us.
I asked Wenmo what he was doing. Wenmo told me that it was because of the thing on Zhou Cheng's back just now that Zhou Cheng was poisoned and controlled by that thing. And those two blood bubbles were the wounds that injected toxins into Zhou Cheng's body. And the gray powder that was used just now is red sandalwood ash, which can disperse and decompose the poisonous gas in the wound, and the green gas just now is.
For Wenmo's explanation, I once again remembered the small temple in the Qilian Mountain Gorge, when Shi Tao was injured by fog, and this is how the old lama drove away the corpse poison for Shi Tao, but the old lama used lamp oil at that time. It seems that these methods are similar in principle, and if you master the mysteries, you will be able to understand everything.
I opened my mouth and asked, "What is that thing on Zhou Cheng's back just now?" ”
The second uncle replied: "That thing is called the white face and the right side." It is an ape with four ears. This white-faced man is extremely agile and able to read and control the behavior of other animals or humans. In fact, it is this white-faced body that has a neurotoxin in the body that can control your nerves and act according to its ideas. ”
We were talking, at this time, Zhou Cheng, who was still unconscious just now, suddenly took a deep breath and slowly woke up. He opened his eyes and looked at us a little blankly, "Why are you here?" What's wrong with me? ”
Lantern Xiao handed the kettle to Zhou Cheng, "Brother Cheng, you were tricked and attacked by the white-faced Changyou." ”
Zhou Cheng was very surprised, "I was tricked?" What is the white face and long right? ”
I was a little surprised and asked, "What?" Brother Cheng, don't you remember? So what happened when you came down from above? ”
Zhou Cheng frowned and recalled carefully, and said, "I remember that after I got down from above, I first looked around to confirm whether it was dangerous. But just as I turned around, I swept it with my peripheral vision, and I noticed a white shadow flashing behind me. In this kind of place, if this happens, the other party will definitely not be a normal person. So I pulled out my gun and shot it, and I heard a strange scream, and I thought I should have hit it. I chased after it, and I don't know what happened next. ”
After listening to Zhou Cheng's story, I nodded, "It seems that the person who shook the rope is really not Zhou Cheng, in this case, it is the white-faced Changyou." ”
The second uncle said: "Just now, not long after we separated, Wenmo and I found Zhou Cheng's traces, fortunately, Wenmo found that Zhou Cheng was a little wrong, otherwise we would have rushed over, and we would definitely fall in love with this white-faced long right way." So we followed all the way and also found the white-faced Changyou lying on his back behind him. Perhaps attracted by the light of the glow stick, the white-faced Changyou took Zhou Cheng back to the position where we first came down. And just as we were about to do it, the two of you showed up and yelled so hard that it almost ruined you. So we can only control you first. ”
The second uncle's words also made me understand why we haven't seen the second uncle's flashlight, it turns out that they turned off the flashlight early in the morning.
After listening to the second uncle's words, we all nodded, it turned out that something like this happened just now. There are still such animals in this world, and I suddenly thought of a question, "If the white-faced Changyou are talking about exists, then what do they rely on to survive in this underground?" And I don't think I've ever heard of this animal. ”
Wen Mo said: "The white-faced Changyou has long been extinct in the outside world, and this animal is called an island creature, which refers to an animal that can only be seen in a certain closed environment. And this white face is one of them. There must be an ecological environment that they can adapt to. ”
As we were talking, suddenly I heard a faint moan in my ears. This sudden sound made my heart move. I know that my hearing ability is a bit extraordinary, but this situation where everyone is drunk and I am alone makes me feel unconfident sometimes.
I couldn't help but look at Wenmo again, and he was looking at me at the same time, and nodded at me, and now I was sure I heard the voice.
Is there really someone else here? The second uncle noticed the change in Wenmo's expressions and me, so he asked, "What did you find?" ”
I looked in the direction the voice came from and said, "We heard moaning. ”、
"Moans?" The second uncle straightened up suddenly, "How is this possible, I haven't heard anything?" ”
Wen Mo got up, took the lead in turning on the flashlight and walked into the darkness, "Follow me, be careful." ”
We followed the sound to find it, and as we advanced, the moaning sound became more and more obvious, and even the second uncle, Wen Mo and Zhou Cheng heard it, and their faces changed, "Someone is injured?" ”
The second uncle immediately reacted again, "It doesn't have to be a person!" Be careful, everyone! ”
The crowd immediately became alert and drew their weapons.
My heart beat louder as the voice got closer to us, until we came to a hidden corner that we had just ignored and didn't notice if there was anything unusual here.
And now, we all saw that there seemed to be a dark shadow curled up there.
