Chapter 9: "The Expressionless Woman" (1)
[The same desperate situation reveals the past, present, and future of the two of them. 】
I finally figured out what the reverberating clapping was all about.
The level of horror made Guan Tianxiang almost scream.
"Smack, smack, slap......"
The unchanged regular rhythm seems to indifferently pronounce Guan Tianxiang's bleak end.
"Wow......" Guan Tianxiang was so frightened that he slammed back, tripped over the thick rails, and fell causing a noisy collision sound.
Well...... The strange eyeless woman suddenly stopped clapping, her body like a stiff wax figure, but it seemed like she was about to pounce at any moment.
In 1977, a strange-looking woman broke into the Cedar Senai Hospital in Los Angeles with the carcass of a cat and brutally murdered the hospital's medical staff.
The most chilling thing is that the woman's eyes are expressionless, and her skin is as stiff and smooth as a puppet...... Guan Tianxiang lay down on the railroad tracks, not daring to look directly at the emotionless face.
Fear swells into the heart, and fragile souls beg for mercy from fate.
The woman's palms were stained with sticky blood...... Did she pull out her eyes on her own?
It's disgusting...... But...... What is the reason for doing such a painful and perverted thing?
Or is she not human at all...... Guan Tianxiang held his breath and turned around to peek at the little girl with long hair who was trembling constantly.
She was so trembling that she didn't dare to say anything, her innocent but trance-like eyes focused on Guan Tianxiang, as if she was worried about Guan Tianxiang's safety but was at a loss.
The limbs were caught between paralyzing fear, and the heart knew absolutely that there was no escape...... However, Guan Tianxiang was afraid that if he moved slightly, he would be killed by the expressionless woman...... Guan Tianxiang didn't know where the banshee came from, but he couldn't guess what would happen if he provoked her nerves—his eyes were unintentionally resting on the railroad track in front of his right leg, and next to the iron bar was a finger-sized piece of gravel, placed on the edge of his right hand's reach...... Maybe you just need to take a step forward and get it......
Thoughts suddenly became clear.
Yes, she is theoretically invisible...... The position of the prey can only be judged by both ears...... So, if you disturb her with a sound...... is still talking on paper, and there is no time to delay.
Guan Tianxiang suddenly jumped forward, grabbed the gravel in front of his leg, pulled his bow and smashed it into the pitch black behind the woman!
"Poof...... Burst...... Puff puff...... Puff puff puff ......" The whole process only took half a second, and the gravel landed somewhere 2 meters behind the strange girl, causing a sonorous echo.
She subconsciously turned around and looked back for half a second, but it was only a short half second, and half a line of life had already been created.
In a moment's time, Guan Tianxiang turned around with all his might, and pulled his legs violently towards the position of the little girl!
"Well......" The girl's crystal eyes suddenly stared at Guan Tianxiang, and her feet stayed in place paralyzed, until her white right hand was clenched by Guan Tianxiang without hesitation, and she raced towards the rear of the car.
She struggled to keep up with her hurried pace, and there might be a blanket loss on her face.
To escape...... To escape from this crazy nightmare...... behind the "pop, pop, pop......" again clapped applause, which became the most mysterious melody in the dark tunnel.
In the dark hell, Guan Tianxiang couldn't judge her position at all - how could Guan Tianxiang have the courage to look back.
The entire tunnel echoed with the sound of their footsteps, the cries of struggle on the brink of collapse.
"Whew...... ...... dizziness suddenly rushed into his thoughts, but Guan Tianxiang still couldn't stop...... "Bang, bang, bang...... Syllable. I don't know how long I ran, but the applause suddenly stopped, and the picture in front of me changed subtly at the same time......
The two of them stopped, staring at a dark green tram in front of them, silently blocking the lonely tracks in front of them.
The girl who saw the tram showed surprise on her face, and almost couldn't hold back her shouting, Guan Tianxiang anxiously signaled to her not to say anything, and to be careful not to expose her position.
She immediately covered her mouth with one hand, looking like she was fighting.
Guan Tianxiang slowed down and dragged her a few steps forward, the blurred green gradually became clear, and Guan Tianxiang witnessed the devil's number again.
“137”
Tram 137 again, the initiator of this purgatory journey.
They tragically rediscovered the starting point and determined that the tunnel space was nothing more than an infinitely reincarnated hell......
It's suffocating.
The feeling of powerlessness spread to the limbs like a peerless virus in seconds, and the legs finally softened.
It's really an extreme irony, he just wanted to take the night train home, but he encountered a series of strange horrors - at this moment, Guan Tianxiang can't even tell where he is...... The day has been forced to rent out the soul in exchange for survival the next day, how can even the breathing space in the middle of the night be taken away?
"Is it because you're tired of being too fast?" Qianqin's words in the tram came to mind, and Guan Tianxiang finally touched the helplessness of her soul
"Brother...... What are we going to do? The girl who held Guan Tianxiang's hand suddenly said, but she suppressed her voice, and her voice was so weak that only Guan Tianxiang beside her could hear it.
Guan Tianxiang listened, and shone the flashlight at the darkness behind him—it was still the tiresome long tunnel, the cables on the top, the lamps on both sides, and the parallel railroad tracks—the light shone for more than ten meters, but the strange woman was nowhere to be seen.
She...... Didn't catch up......
Who the hell is she? Guan Tianxiang turned around and stared at the poor girl, still palpitating - there were countless dangers lurking in the darkness all the time.
Now it's imperative to find a safe place to breathe, and then everything to come.
The most straightforward and concise answer immediately came to mind.
Guan Tianxiang stepped lightly at the entrance of the front of the tram, and the girl held Guan Tianxiang's hand tightly, and cautiously stepped into the empty lower level of No. 137, but fortunately there was no loud noise.
As soon as they entered the semi-soundproof carriage, the two of them sat down on the nearest bench, gasping for breath, and their hearts were beating loudly in the dead silence.
The light of the flashlight illuminated the girl's frightened expression, and under her paper-white cheeks were two lines of weak tears.
