Chapter 197: The Charm of the Spirit
Although Chen Jianqiu guessed that Holmes's reaction in this state might not be normal.
But I still didn't expect that the geologist, who was usually powerless, would suddenly spread his feet and run out.
Chen Jianqiu rushed forward with an arrow step and grabbed the back of his heart with one hand.
If it was placed in normal times, even if he let Holmes run a few more steps, Chen Jianqiu would be able to catch him with a sprint.
He'd done it more than once before.
However, when Chen Jianqiu's hand was about to touch the back neckline of the geologist, the person in front of him pounced forward as if he had eyes on the back of his head.
Chen Jianqiu actually caught a void.
Holmes threw himself on the ground, but then jumped up like a spring with his hands on the ground, and stumbled forward in an odd position.
"Holmes!" Chen Jianqiu couldn't care about any resonance, roared angrily, and chased after him in three steps and two steps.
However, the geologists in front ran into the darkness at an incredible speed.
This is not the speed of a normal person.
He was getting closer and closer to the edge of the torch's glow.
At the moment when his back was about to sink into darkness, Holmes suddenly turned his head and grinned in the direction of Chen Jianqiu.
An evil smile appeared on the geologist's face.
Holmes is crazy!
Chen Jianqiu didn't have time to think about it, picked up the torch in his hand and threw it at the geologist.
However, the torch crossed an arc and landed directly on the ground.
Nothing hit.
Chen Jianqiu ran over, picked up a torch from the ground, and raised it to illuminate the surroundings.
There was a bare patch around, and there was nothing.
Holmes, gone.
In the empty cavern, there were no footsteps, no echo, as if the world had evaporated.
It's weird.
This situation has never been encountered since Chen Jianqiu crossed.
Chen Jianqiu focused his attention, and he tried to turn on the shooter mode.
He had practiced these things very skillfully, and did not need any assistance, and in this respect, he was even more accomplished than his master Adam.
Today, however, it doesn't seem to be the same.
Chen Jianqiu only felt as if his brain was being pressed by something.
Whenever he wanted to improve his attention, he couldn't get the echo of his body.
After a few attempts, Chen Jianqiu gave up.
Chen Jianqiu looked around.
The torch light lit up the darkness around him, like an iron curtain, enveloping him in it, making people feel an inexplicable suffocation.
Just now, he chased Holmes all the way, and he didn't pay attention to the direction, so naturally he couldn't judge where his current position was.
Suddenly, he noticed that not far away, there was a faint glimmer of fire.
It should be Sean and them, who came out with Holmes to see the situation before, and asked them to wait at the entrance now.
Let's join the army first, and discuss the matter of finding Holmes.
Chen Jianqiu held the torch and walked in the direction of the firelight.
He walked for a while, only to find a problem.
The firelight, which seemed to be not far away, had not been reached until now.
Chen Jianqiu remembered that he and Holmes should not have gone far just now, they just walked some distance along the edge of the square.
No matter how big this cave is, the diameter cannot be so exaggerated.
What's even more outrageous is that he has walked for so long, and he finds that the distance between himself and the firelight has not shortened at all.
In the dark, there may be some deviations in the judgment of distance and time, but it will never be zero to positive infinity.
"Sean! Danny! Chen Jianqiu tentatively shouted twice.
No one responded,
This place is a bit of a cult place indeed.
Chen Jianqiu snorted.
He was not a staunch atheist, but he was never afraid of the unknown, on the contrary, he was happy to deal with these evil things.
Chen Jianqiu faced the direction of the firelight.
He thought for a moment, then closed his eyes and took his own steps.
Anyway, it was dark all around, so I didn't even look at it, and walked in the direction I had determined.
No matter what bulls, ghosts, snakes, and gods, I will only go all the way.
After counting eighty steps, Chen Jianqiu slowly opened his eyes.
Sure enough, the flame was already close at hand.
But when Chen Jianqiu approached the firelight, he still frowned.
Because he found that the so-called fire in front of him was not the torch in the hands of Sean and Danny, but a bonfire.
Two men were sitting with their backs to him, on two stones by the campfire,
Half an hour ago, someone had told Chen Jianqiu that there were two people sitting by a campfire at the bottom of this dark cave in a closed valley with an exit on a cliff and thousands of bats.
Chen Jianqiu must have thought he was crazy.
Moreover, when I came down the road just now, I didn't see any living people or bonfires!
Where did these two people come from?
If the light of the fire is not the torch of the great army, then where did everyone but Holmes go?
He even wondered if he was still at the bottom of the original cave!
However, for this kind of thing, Chen Jianqiu has always had his own guidelines for dealing with it.
Since the mystery is in these two people, it is good to start with these two people.
He walked towards the campfire.
One of the two seemed to hear the noise and turned around.
This is an old Chinese man dressed in a horse coat, with a goatee and white hair.
Chen Jianqiu had seen him.
He had seen this man in his hallucinations while driving alone on the Thornton Trail near Papa James Ranch in Lincolnshire.
This old man still called himself "Chang Luo", which was the same as recorded in his previous memory fragments.
Hallucinations or hallucinations or anything, if I'm not mistaken, isn't this old man dead? He was still shot and died.
When the old man saw Chen Jianqiu, it was like seeing an enemy who didn't share the sky.
He stood there proudly like a green pine, pointed at Chen Jianqiu and shouted angrily:
"Criminals! I have expelled you from the sect, how dare you come now! ”
Chen Jianqiu was confused.
Where is this, uncle, whether you are a human or a ghost, are we very familiar with each other?
But before he could respond, another man by the campfire also stood up, his face turned to this side,
If the old man he saw just now still made Chen Jianqiu a little confused, this turned face completely dumbfounded him.
The light of the bonfire reflected on his face, his facial features were angular, his eyebrows were like swords, but those eyes were a little unfamiliar.
Isn't that who you are?
"Master, your old man is injured, I'll meet him for a while." The boy spoke, and when he had finished speaking, he rushed towards him like an arrow from a string.
Chen Jianqiu subconsciously went to dig out the gun on his waist, but found that the gun didn't know where it went.
The young man on the opposite side walked extremely sharply, and in two or three steps, he approached him and slapped at his neck.
Chen Jianqiu looked at the familiar moves, stepped away, buckled with his outer foot, and after dodging this chapter, he unfolded his body, broke his steps one by one, turned his palms into double knives, and rushed towards the waist of the young man opposite.
The young man who looked exactly like himself was not ambiguous at all, seeing the moves, his waist was like a shaft, and his hands were like wheels, and he was fighting together.
The steps and moves of the two men are almost identical.
One is to walk like a horse walking through the mud, like a chicken stepping on snow, a chicken leg dragon body, a crane walking monkey elephant; The other hand is like a cloud, the step is like flowing water, and the body is like a dragon swimming in the sky.
The two stood for dozens of rounds, but they were still entangled together, regardless of victory or defeat.
However, the more Chen Jianqiu fought, the more he understood in his mind, and he roughly knew what the situation was now.
I'm either in a dream, or I'm in my hallucination, or I'm crazy.
But even if he knew it in his heart, he didn't know how to wake himself up, and besides, he couldn't get rid of his hands.
It's all taught by a master, and you can't break the trick.
The offensive of the young man on the opposite side became more and more fierce, and Chen Jianqiu dismantled the move as he wanted.
The two of them fought, and then came to the edge of the field.
Chen Jianqiu glanced at the bottomless lake at the edge of the venue, and his heart suddenly changed.
He dodged the palm knife of the young man on the opposite side, performed a Mongolian wrestling move, and grabbed the young man's shoulders with both hands.
With one force, the two of them tilted their bodies and fell towards the lake at the same time.
Whatever the fuck you are, come with me and soak in the water.
The lake water was cold and biting, the young man who was holding his shoulders down did not struggle, Chen Jianqiu couldn't see his face, but felt that his hands were also clasping his shoulders at the same time,
Both of them were sinking, and the water was still pitch black, and nothing could be seen.
Chen Jianqiu secretly said that it was not good, could this be true? Are you going to be drowned in this lake by "yourself"?
Just when he was about to reach his limit, he suddenly felt that the "self" that he was grasping with his hands disappeared.
Chen Jianqiu knew that he might be back, he looked at the water above and found that above the water, there was a faint fire.
He struggled to swim towards the lake.
As he approached the surface of the lake, he jerked upward, leaping out of the water and gulping in the cavernous air.
"Quick! Fast! Don't suck the gas out of this lake, come ashore! Chen Jianqiu heard Holmes' voice.
He looked back and saw that the geologist was standing on the shore of the lake with a torch and a hand held out to him.
Chen Jianqiu swam to the shore and took his hand and climbed back to the shore.
"What happened to me?" Chen Jianqiu shook the water droplets on his head and asked.
"Well, you have been squatting and looking at the lake just now, and you didn't answer when I asked you, I thought you had something to do, so I went to see other places by myself, and then when I came back, I saw you punching in the clearing, and then suddenly jumped into the lake with a "bang". Holmes said.
"I researched it later, and there should be a gap at the bottom of this lake, and the gas coming up may be hallucinating." The geologist pointed to the bubbles that were floating in the lake all the way to the surface, "plus in this kind of closed cave, people are already prone to hallucinations. ”
"Okay." Chen Jian Qiuyun nodded lightly, as if nothing had happened just now, "What did you gain from that?" ”
As soon as Holmes heard about his work, he was in high spirits.
"Hey, don't tell me, I really found something useful, you can come with me to see it."
