429 Hunters? 2
readx;? Ian sensed danger, it was a hunter's instinct. Something very threatening was rushing towards them, and the entire sealed corridor trembled with www.biquge.info pen.
"Come with me, if you don't want to die. Manhe's voice came from the darkness, "Trust me, those guys aren't up for you. ”
With that, Manhe ran to the side of the hallway. Ian hesitated, he already believed Manhe's words, he gritted his teeth, and followed, at this time there was no light source, he could only run forward by feeling, after running a few steps, he suddenly remembered that Bernie was still lying there, so he turned around, but there was only endless darkness in his eyes.
The sound of noisy footsteps was close at hand, and Ian knew that the so-called [ghosts] were not far from him. However, he had nowhere to run, both front and back, flanked by bluestone bricks. In the darkness, he couldn't find Manhe's place at all.
"Above. Manhe's voice came from overhead, "Jump up and use all your strength." ”
Ian didn't hesitate, because there wasn't enough time for him to think so much. He jumped hard, and his strong body made him jump almost two meters high, originally he thought that his head would hit the bluestone brick, but no, there was nothing above his head. He jumped to the highest point and then began to fall, at which point a thick arm grabbed him in time.
"Climb up!" said Manhe, "Hurry up!"
Ian grabbed Manhe's hand and rolled over, feeling the solid ground again, and a foul smell at the same time. He still couldn't see anything, just let Manhe grab his hand and take more than ten steps forward. He knew that he was at the top of the hallway, and that there should be a ceiling at his feet, and that the so-called [ghosts] were only a wall away from him, but he couldn't see anything.
I don't know how long I walked, but Manhe finally stopped. Ian was a little overwhelmed, but with a "click", the candle appeared on the match in Manhe's hand. With the light source, Ian can see where he is. He looked around, and there were still rows of bluestone bricks, but they were much darker than the ones he had seen before, and there seemed to be a thick layer of dirt on them. And they were in a small corner, less than two meters apart from the upper and lower bricks, and under their feet were a few dirty bedding, and three or two bones that I didn't know what kind of creature they belonged to.
There was also an oil lamp, which Manhe lit with a match. He sat comfortably in the futon, like a declining king, and it was clear that this was where he lived.
"Where is this?"
"You can understand that compartments. "The ghost town doesn't have just one floor, we used to be on the third basement floor, and we're now on the third basement floor and the second basement floor. ”
Three basement floors?
Ian didn't know how far it was from the surface. Of course, he had already begun to believe Manhe's words, if there were no so-called [ghosts] in this world, then who could bring an entire team of hunters to the depths of the earth?
So, here's the problem.
"What the hell is a ghost?"
"That's a good question, but I can't give you an answer. "Because I can't tell you exactly what it is." ”
"You said you've been here for twenty years, why don't you know. ”
"I just don't know how to classify it. Manhe sighed, "Can it be counted as a living thing? they don't need food and water like animals, nor do they need air and nutrients like plants." They don't need anything, they can't be counted as living creatures, they can only be said to be dead things, can you understand that?"
Ian hesitated for a moment, then nodded slightly.
"You're strong. Manhe said, "Your bouncing height scared me so high that I almost didn't catch you." It's not like me, I want to come up here and hold on to the rope and climb up slowly, but I'm not slow, but it must take a lot more time than it takes you to jump. In this way, it is indeed not a coincidence that you were able to fight against your inner demons and not be swallowed up by the darkness of the ghost town, and I believe that you can survive well in the ghost town. ”
"Why should I survive here?" Ian said coldly, "I'm going out." ”
"Who doesn't want to go out?" said Manhe, "I've been thinking about it for twenty years, but I'm not here?" I just said I'd take you out, just because I didn't want to see you frozen there and eaten by those [ghosts]." ”
Ian frowned, and before he could speak, he watched as Manhe pulled a dull yellow stick out of his arms and began to stuff it into his mouth. At first, he thought it was bread, but when he thought about it, how could this guy have bread if he had been trapped for twenty years, and then looked closely.
It's an arm.
Manhe had just taken a bite, but the flesh had not yet melted in his mouth, so he didn't dare to move. Because Ian's guardianship was already around his neck.
"Isn't that good for your savior?"
"What are you eating?"
"Human flesh, what's the problem?" Manhe grinned, showing his bloody teeth, "I finally have fresh meat to eat, would you like some?"
Fresh meat?
"You're damned. Ian gripped the hilt of the Guardian's sword, and it only took a second for him to kill the old dwarf in front of him that disgusted him.
"Hey, hey, what are you doing? You and I are the only living people in the ghost town. Manhe's expression sank, "Kill me, are you sure? Your companions were not killed by me, they are dead, this is waste utilization, so that our living people can survive better. ”
"Are you afraid of death?"
"No, no, no, no, I'm not afraid of death, how can a person who has been trapped here for twenty years be afraid of death?" Manhe said, "I just don't want to die like this, it's better to die than to live, do I?"
Ian's hands were trembling slightly, and to be honest, he really wanted to deal with the old dwarf in front of him who disgusted him so much. What was he doing? He was gnawing at his companions?!, but he couldn't do anything, and the blade of the guard was frozen in mid-air, slightly reflecting the fire.
"Please, even if you really want to go out, you need to eat. Manhe whispered, "It's the best food, if you know what I eat on a regular basis." They are no longer your companions, they are dead. ”
Ian's eyes froze, and he swung his knife sharply. The blade of the guard slashed through the old dwarf's neck.
After a few seconds, the old dwarf was unharmed, but the arm in his hand was cut into several pieces.
Ian withdrew his guard and looked at Manhe with a blank face, "Don't let me see it again, I'll really kill you next time." ”
