Chapter 51: Where the Light Doesn't Shine
"We've got to get down there." Flora said.
"Uh...... Let's walk slowly, we'll be there soon. ”
Su Ming couldn't think of a good reason, so he could only casually perfunctory the other party.
Flora stared at the steps at her feet, stunned for a moment, and nodded blankly.
The three of them continued to walk down, and as they continued to descend, Flora's spirit became more abnormal.
Her spirit, which had been a little sluggish, slowly became tense, and she often looked around sensitively, as if she was looking for something.
She looks like a sensitive psychopath and a herbivore targeted by a carnivore.
In this staircase, the light was only a meter away, and no matter how she looked around, all she could see was inky blackness, but Flora couldn't stop looking around, as if she was trying to keep her eyes open to see what was behind the darkness.
"Su Ming, do you feel it? Someone is watching us. Flora pulled Su Min's sleeve and lowered her voice.
Su Ming stopped, felt it for a while, and shook his head.
"I didn't feel anything."
"Yes, there really is!" Flora held Su Ming's hand tightly, her knuckles white, "Let's go quickly!" ”
Su Ming couldn't say anything comforting anymore, so he had to continue walking.
Maybe half an hour, or an hour?
Su Ming couldn't estimate it.
In short, after going down a considerable distance, the unexpected happened.
This time it was Flora, who first raised her doubts, saying that the light of the flashlight seemed to be getting brighter.
At that time, Su Ming didn't think there was anything strange because they had indeed just changed the battery of the flashlight.
But after a few more minutes of walking, Flora began to feel wrong, she suddenly stopped, and grabbed Su Ming, who was going downstairs.
"Huh? What's wrong? Su Ming said with concern.
Flora's eyes widened, staring at the darkness in front of her, her body trembling uncontrollably.
Her hand holding the flashlight trembled, and the light of the light kept shaking.
Su Ming, who was very close to her, could hear her intermittent, like the sound of breathing squeezed out of her lungs.
Her chest rose and fell, and her breathing became rapid and heavy.
Suddenly, as if she had lost her strength, Flora's body fell backwards, and Su Ming's eyes were quick, and she immediately hugged the other party's waist so that she would not fall on the steps.
Su Ming felt that the other party's body was as cold as ice.
"What's the matter, Flora! You speak! Su Ming looked in the direction of Flora's gaze and saw nothing.
Flora leaned against the railing, maintaining her balance, and said in an almost trembling voice, "You...... Don't you see? ”
The moment he saw the other party's eyes, Su Ming's heart tightened suddenly, it was a pair of eyes soaked in fear.
"What do you see?"
“…… Blame...... Thing! Flora squeezed two words out of her mouth.
"What monster?"
"But, Alice...... Still down there...... She was calling me. Flora said with a crying voice.
She began to answer questions.
"Calm down, calm down, I didn't see any monsters, it was you who had a delusion." Su Ming kept rubbing the other party's hands, trying to attract the other party's attention and ease the other party's emotions in this way.
But Flora couldn't take her eyes off the darkness as if she hadn't heard, as if there really was a monster hiding there.
But Su Ming couldn't feel that there was something there, and he hoped that his super-intuition could play a role at this moment, telling him if there was a monster in front of him, but the super-intuition didn't have any hints.
No, maybe there wasn't anything unusual at all, so his instincts didn't react.
Is this also Flora's hallucination?
Not necessarily, he remembered that it was written on the information that anyone who entered here would encounter monsters, and perhaps Flora had really seen monsters.
As for why only Flora saw it, it was probably because she was the one who was most affected by the anomaly of the three of them.
In short, the necessary intelligence must be investigated.
Thinking of this, Su Ming asked again, "Flora, can you see it clearly?" ”
Flora nodded stiffly, her expression painful and tangled.
"How far away is it?"
“……”
"Tell me! How far! Su Ming raised his voice and said.
"3 meters...... 4 meters? I do not know...... It's close. She whispered.
Su Ming hesitated for a moment, then turned his head to Xia Xiaoyu and said, "You cover me, there is a high probability that the monsters here will not harm the people who come in, but I may behave out of control." ”
"If you get out of control, I'll control you." Xia Xiaoyu said.
Su Ming nodded, comforted Flora a few more words, let the other party stay where he was, and walked down with his own flashlight, Xia Xiaoyu followed closely behind him.
He walked very carefully, and every time he took the next step, he would stop and feel his surroundings, listen to whether there was any noise in the dark, and whether his intuition would react.
One-step.
Two steps.
Three steps.
……
Four steps.
There was no movement, and nothing strange was seen.
Su Ming frowned, raised his hand and hooked his fingers, signaling Xia Xiaoyu behind him to follow, while he continued to walk down a few steps.
No, nothing, let alone the shadow of the monster, not even the scene in front of me has not changed in the slightest.
There were still cross-welded iron railings next to him, and the steps under his feet were the same as before, Su Ming was sure that the distance he had gone down was more than three meters, but he didn't see anything, and his super instinct also didn't react at all.
Su Ming frowned and looked at Xia Xiaoyu behind him, "Did you feel something?" ”
Xia Xiaoyu shook her head solemnly.
"I've walked almost five meters, haven't I?" Su Ming asked.
"Definitely." Xia Xiaoyu replied.
"I think so, it seems that Flora was delusional." Su Ming breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and shouted, "Flora, there's nothing here!" ”
Su Ming's voice diffused, but after a short distance it dissipated, and his shouts did not provoke a single echo in the empty space.
Similarly, Flora above the steps did not respond in any way...... Didn't you hear it?
Su Ming suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart, so he turned around and walked up.
One-step, two-step, three-step......
One meter, two meters...... Five-meter ......
Su Ming's footsteps were getting faster and faster, and Xia Xiaoyu behind him kept up with him.
Su Ming was sure that he had just walked down more than twenty steps, and now, he had walked up more than thirty steps.
But Flora wasn't there.
She vanished.
"She ran away?" Xia Xiaoyu hesitated.
Su Ming shook his head: "I didn't hear the sound. ”
"It's possible that there won't be a sound in the dark, and that's probably the nature of this place." Xia Xiaoyu said.
Su Ming pondered for a long time and said, "Let's continue walking." ”
"What about Flora?"
"I can't find her anymore if I go up." Su Ming didn't look back, "Follow me, don't let me leave your sight." ”
Su Ming paused, and added: "There is a problem where the light is not visible." ”
