Chapter 43: Falling into a Hallucination
I was afraid that I would lose this black shadow, so I didn't dare to rest the whole time.
Crossing the woods again, there was another coffin tombstone in front of us, and we came back again.
Cui Hao's expression was abrupt, and he walked up to me thoughtfully.
"It seems that we should have encountered a ghost hitting the wall this time, could it be that there are masters here?"
You must know that when we came, it was clearly a smooth road, and there was nothing unusual.
So now the sudden appearance of the ghost hitting the wall confused both of us in an instant.
I looked around and shouted into the jungle.
"Anyone? Your Excellency might as well come out and see it, and don't pretend to be a ghost in secret. ”
I shouted a few times at the woods, but I never got a response.
The forest was empty, and in the breeze, the black shadow appeared in front of the two of us again.
The thing still lingered in the forest under the cover of the surrounding trees, but it never showed its true form.
Cui Hao walked up to me, staring nervously at the shadow in the forest.
"Little Manye, what should we do? Do you want to go into the woods again to see what is going on? ”
I shook my head and rejected his offer.
"Even if I go a hundred more times, the result will be the same."
I carefully observed the breath in the surrounding woods, and the faintly wafted mist kept swirling and rising in the middle of the presence.
I looked at the coffin stele behind me again.
"Fatty, I think the problem should still be here. This anomaly happened when the two of us came out of here. ”
I pointed to the door we had drilled out earlier and stepped forward to check on the situation.
"Instead of going to the forest to find the answer, I think it's better to slowly move back from the beginning, maybe the problem has already appeared when we are underground, but the two of us don't notice it."
The moment I got to the front of the door, I reached out and clasped it on the mechanism.
A few clicks.
Suddenly a huge hole appeared in front of us, and the tunnel that we had climbed down once again appeared in front of me.
"What the hell is this?"
Cui Hao walked up to me in disbelief and stared at the empty crypt in shock.
"Isn't this tunnel unopenable?"
He turned to the door and quickly flipped the switch.
But just like just now, there was no way to open the door of life, and it was still tightly closed without revealing any holes.
Cui Hao couldn't help but swallow and foam.
"I'll go, is this weird here? In other words, only the two of us can still open this shocking door, and everything else is blocked, right? ”
Cui Hao didn't believe in evil, so he turned his head and immediately pressed all the other organs.
But the rest of the tombstones were standing steadily, and no passageway entrances were ever revealed below.
Even if Cui Hao doesn't believe it, he can only accept his fate now.
He reluctantly walked up to my side and stared silently at the dark passage in front of me.
"What to do? Shall we go down again? ”
As he spoke, he glanced nervously at the dense forest behind us.
The roar in the woods continued, and it seemed to be much closer to us.
I nodded, quickly struck the Soul Calming Nail, and climbed down with the rope.
"It seems that the problem is still in the passage, maybe the key to the so-called ghost hitting the wall is at the bottom of the passage. We've had to break down this hell wall before we can get out of here. ”
The two of us had no choice.
Although I don't want to go back to the tunnels and face the cold dungeon.
But now there is only one way in front of us, even if we don't want to go, we can only go back to the tunnel to face the terracotta figurines inside.
Cui Hao sighed helplessly, and crawled down the rope behind me.
The two of us were back on our feet in the dark tunnel, and I turned on my flashlight and pointed it ahead.
It was so cold that I looked at the chain bridge not far away, and I really didn't want to climb back again.
At this time, Cui Hao suddenly said.
"Little Manye, it's strange. When we came down, it felt very cold here, but why did I feel so hot standing here now? ”
Saying that, Cui Hao took a breath, he turned his head to look around, looked at the surrounding situation, and after a while, he sorted out his thoughts, and then spoke again.
"I had the feeling that it was wet and sticky, and that heat was rising and enveloping my body, as if we were still next to the hot pool."
At the moment when Cui Hao said this.
The cold feeling around me disappeared in an instant, and I felt a warm vapor rushing towards me.
Immediately afterward, the surrounding heat rose.
In an instant, the two of us were surrounded by a cloud of white smoke, and my body was constantly affected by the surrounding environment, emitting heat outward.
I couldn't help but pant for breath from the heat, and my body kept sweating.
But at this moment, I instantly felt that something was wrong.
"Fatty, you have a poisonous mouth, right? When I came in just now, I clearly felt that it was cold here, and I shivered from the cold. But when you suddenly say that, how did the temperature go up? ”
The moment these words came out, I couldn't help but take a breath.
I suddenly remembered that when I was on the ground, it seemed to be the same thing.
I remember that in the forest before, Cui Hao said that it was a little cold, and a cold wind immediately surged around.
Could it be said?
I immediately dragged Cui Hao over, reached out and twisted it directly on his body.
Cui Hao was twisted by my arm, and immediately let out a miserable scream.
"Little Manye, what are you doing?"
With that, he slapped me away.
Cui Hao rubbed his arm, and at this time, a large red mark had been twisted out of his arm.
"Little Manye, it hurts me to death, why did you suddenly screw me? I didn't think I had said anything I shouldn't have said! ”
I shook my head, quickly shifting my gaze away and apologizing to him.
"It's okay, I just want to do an experiment. Don't move, just cooperate with me. ”
After speaking, I handed the flashlight to Cui Hao's hand and pointed to the space in front of me.
"You open the way in front, I'm in charge of guarding in the back, I always feel like there's something behind us."
Cui Hao looked back nervously, he took the flashlight handed over by me, clenched a dagger tightly, and nodded at me.
"Okay, then I'll open the way ahead. Little Man, you can guard my back, don't let me be stabbed. ”
The moment he said this, he turned his back to me and began to move forward.
I quickly pulled a dagger out of my body and plunged it directly into his arm.
Cui Hao seemed to have no feeling, so he cautiously walked forward with the dagger.
"Little Manye, what do you say is going on underground? And I've come so far, I haven't seen the key to that so-called ghost hitting the wall? ”
After speaking, Cui Hao glanced back at me.
"Also, are we really going to climb back on the chains in a moment? I didn't want to try that feeling again, it was so tired that my arms couldn't stand it. ”
I gently patted Cui Hao's shoulder and stretched out my finger to point to his arm.
"Fatty, don't you feel pain?"
Cui Hao looked at me blankly and shook his head strangely.
"It hurts, it seems to hurt a little. The moment you pinched me just now hurts, and there is no pain anywhere else. ”
As he spoke, he inadvertently touched his hand to his arm, and in an instant he felt the blade.
Cui Hao lowered his head and looked at his arm.
Only then did he realize that there was a knife stuck in the back of his arm.
Cui Hao was dumbfounded.
At this moment, he suddenly screamed.
"I'll go, when did this thing suddenly grow? It hurts Lao Tzu to death. ”
I was horrified, and immediately grabbed Cui Hao and pulled out the knife directly.
"Fatty, I know what's going on here, the two of us didn't go out at all."
With that, I looked around warily.
Cui Hao was still there holding his arms and shouting pain, and he didn't understand what I meant at all.
"Little Manye, I have always taken you as my brother, but I just said that you help me put away my back, and you stabbed me in the middle of the situation, is it appropriate for you to do this?"
I shook my head and quickly grabbed him to my side.
"Shut up, what are you talking nonsense?"
I briefly explained my suspicions and speculations.
"Fatty, I suspect that the two of us didn't go to the ground at all, and everything we have experienced before may be all our hallucinations."
Cui Hao was stunned for a moment, covering his arms for a long time before squeezing out a sentence.
"Little Manye, do you usually read too many essays, how can you say such things? The two of us are really back on the ground, how can this be fake? ”
I waved my hand and handed the dagger to Cui Hao.
"In this way, I will prove it to you."
I pointed to my back.
"I kept walking, and you followed me, and then stuck the knife in my back at random moments. Don't make any noise or remind me that you've stabbed me. Look at my reaction, maybe you'll know what's going on. ”
Cui Hao pinched the dagger and didn't come to his senses for a long time.
He was stunned for a long time before he muttered.
"I'm going to Xiao Manye, I didn't expect you to have a tendency to self-harm, and even want to take me with you, I may not play any perverted games with people."
I slapped him on the head.
"What are you thinking? I don't have that fetish either, so give it a try as I say, and you'll know why I said that. ”
Cui Hao was repeatedly urged by me, so he could only helplessly walk behind me with a dagger.
He shouted at me.
"Little Manye, you asked me to do it, if it hurts later, don't blame me for being ruthless."
