Chapter 190: The Empty Corridor
"Returning the piano-" The woman let out a long call and leaned into the corridor, her voice like a flat and sharp blade, which shook me!
"It's not the sound of painting the sea. Jicheng approached and said close to my ear. His hand grasped my palmβmy hand was colder than the hand of one of his bloods!
Long Ring grabbed Huanqin's sister and said in a low voice, "Don't act rashly - are you sure it's your sister's voice?"
The snow corridor was dark and dreary, only the ground at the top of the corridor and at our feet was a dull snow blue, and the light shone up and down, crossing us, reflecting a blurred shadow on our faces.
Everyone looked like a frightened, mournful ghost.
"Let go of me!It's the sound of Huanqin!How could I have heard it wrong?!" Huanqin's sister's frightened strings, which had been tightening, were cut by this scream, and she screamed wildly, struggling to break free of the dragon ring's hand, and ran forward without a head.
It's just that, in a panic, she ran in the wrong direction and hit her head on the wall of the snow corridor!
The dragon ring flashed forward and held her up. She had fainted.
"It's nice to be quieter. The spider said indifferently, walked to the side of the snow corridor, and reached out to touch the corridor wall, which should also be made of silk weaving and then bricking, but compared to the snow hall and the snow wall, it looks denser and smoother.
"No!" said Spider.
"How?" I asked.
"The two sides of this snow corridor were originally cells next to each other, with the door of the Nightmare as the door, and the Nightmare King himself sealed it with a spell...... How could it be that it was suddenly gone?" Spider wondered.
"Could it be an illusion?" asked Yoshijo.
"It's definitely an illusion. The spider pressed her palm against the wall of the corridor and muttered, "I just don't know what the Lord of the Nightmare means by sealing all these cells one by one?"
The spider said, sticking out her fingers, smearing some blood stains on her severed arm and drawing some strange symbols on the walls of the porch.
The symbol glows faintly red, and it looks extremely eerie.
But soon, those dark red symbols dried up.
"It's a blockade...... I can't crack it, I can't do it. The spider sighed against the smooth wall.
Jicheng let go of my hand, put his ear close to the wall, and whispered, "I can't hear any movement. β
"The scream just now was clearly coming from the depths of the snow corridor. "I warn Jicheng.
"That's right. Jicheng said: "Let's go to the front and take a look, the cells on both sides of the city can't get in anyway, and we can't hear any noise." β
Everyone nodded.
"What about this 'sister'?" the dragon ring held the sister who returned to the qin, who had not yet woken up.
"Take her with you, firstly, it will be safer, and secondly, if she really finds her sister, she must want to know that her sister is safe and sound as soon as possible. I whispered.
When Long Ring heard me say this, he had no objection, and lifted his backhand and carried the sister who returned to the qin on his back.
I glanced at him, the handsome and depressed dragon ring, speaking and acting very neatly, but since I made the words clear with the blue dragon in the stone box of the two-tailed demon, I could no longer hear his "giggle" laughter.
"Hey, little spider," Jicheng stared at the spider, pointing to the wall, and asked, "Are you really unable to crack this illusion?"
"Don't say it, let's go! The voice just now was so terrible and frightened, something must have happened!" I pulled the spider and ran towards the depths of the snow corridor.
This guy from Jicheng, things have come to this point, the spider has exchanged his broken arm for the hole in the dome, what else can't he trust the other party? Trapped in this snowmare palace, if there is no trust, it is really difficult to move an inch!
The crowd had no words and followed.
The spider was on my right, side by side with me, and I noticed that his red eyes were roaming back and forth to and fro on the snow corridor, to the right and on the top, and on the ground, without saying a word.
I also looked at the snow gallery, which was a wide arch, cylindrical shape, smooth on both sides, without any trace of "cells next to each other", and there was no trace of dragging or struggling on the ground. The entire corridor is a dull snow blue, which makes people feel very unreal, as if walking through a tunnel of time leading to the center of the earth, but this tunnel has long been forgotten and abandoned by the world.
I couldn't hear anything out of the ordinary. Except for a few of us who breathed heavily.
The exclamation I heard when I entered the corridor just now didn't seem to have gone away, like a little ghost, repeatedly rubbing in my ears, making me wonder for a moment: Did I hear that exclamation just now?
Maybe it's just auditory hallucinations?
Could it be that everyone is having auditory hallucinations at the same time?
I breathed a sigh of relief, and my heart became more and more shocked.
"Spider," I called softly, "You just said that the three of you spent hundreds of years digging up this Snow Triangle, and you also dug up this Snow Corridor?"
"Yes. Spider replied, "Except for the sealed cell, I seem to feel that there is something different about this snow corridor. β
"Where does this snow corridor lead? How can it become quieter and quieter, empty and traceless, which makes people's hearts hairy!" Jicheng said with a raised voice behind him.
"Wei Jun took Meiyi's sister away, if he also took away a dozen people who didn't appear in the snow hall at the same time, and walked to the depths of the snow corridor, it would be impossible not to leave any traces," Long Ring said in a low voice: "But this snow corridor feels too quiet, and I have a bad feeling." β
"Me too!" I turned to the dragon ring and nodded, "Somehow, my heart is flustered." β
"Spider," I asked, turning back, "Isn't there no end to this snow corridor? It looks like it's been a long time......
"I know what's wrong!" Spider suddenly whispered, "This snow corridor...... It's too long, yes, it's too long, and although I rarely come into the porch, it's something I dug with my own hands after all, and I don't remember it being that long!"
"What's at the end of the corridor?" said Yoshijo's voice, which sounded a slight trembling.
"It's a huge cavern that Nightmare sometimes inhabits it. Spider said.
"Why didn't you say it earlier!" Jicheng shouted softly, "Wei Jun must be hiding in that cave with them!
"Wait a minute. Long Jie glanced at Jicheng, walked to the corridor wall, stood fixedly, looked at the corridor wall in front of him, and pondered for a moment.
He is really not ordinary, he is carrying his sister who returns the piano, just like no one. Walk, move, and be agile as usual.
He suddenly turned his face to Spider and asked, "Since the Snow Nightmare Palace was dug by you with your own hands, then I want to know what parts are contained in this palace?"
(Since the spiders have said that the end of the snow corridor is the cave where the Nightmare inhabites, what else is there to wait for!
"The Snow Nightmare Palace looks big, but in fact, the structure is very simple, it is a snow hall, a dome, a snow corridor and a prison cell, as well as the cave of the Nightmare at the end of this snow corridor. The spider replied.
"Is there anyone else in this palace besides your three spiders and hundreds of imprisoned people...... Or some other spider?" asked the dragon ring again.
"No other spiders? The three of us are the only snow spiders left in the world, that's what Silk said. The spider replied.
"You said you rarely enter the snow corridor, but what about Si'er?" asked Long Ring continued.
"He's very little. Back at the Palace of the Nightmare, we mainly spend our activities in the Snow Hall. Spider said.
"What about the Nightmare?" asked Long Ring in detail.
"Wei Jun went in and out of different cells, sometimes hiding in the cave and not going out for days, and Si'er and I didn't know what he was up to. The spider replied.
"Even if it's a prison, there must be a jailer. There are so many people imprisoned in the Snow Nightmare Palace, they want to eat, although they are all skinny, but they are not starving to death, which means that there must be someone or a spider in this Snow Nightmare Palace, and he manages and arranges the living and eating of these imprisoned people. And the three of you, no one has done this, so where is the person who did this?" asked Long Jie.
"When you say that, I think of it, it seems that there is such a person," Spider said, "I heard Si'er say that he specially gave the 'food' that Wei Jun had conjured up with illusion to the prisoners to eat, but, it is strange that I have never seen this person in person for so many years." Originally, I rarely went into the snow corridor, let alone near the cell, and occasionally passed by, as if I had seen a figure wandering around, but I had never taken a picture of it. What's the matter?
"It matters. Long Jie said: "This person doesn't need to meet you and Si'er, he is directly responsible for Wei Jun, directly manages the imprisoned people, and looks more like Wei Jun's henchmen than you." Do you think that if you catch this person, will you have a little more leverage to negotiate terms with Wei Jun?"
I looked at the dragon ring, his handsome and gloomy face, there was a hint of cunning, but his eyes were very clear.
This ring-transformed teenager, who followed the blue dragon and was trapped in the stone box for 5,000 years, has a hot-blooded temperament, and knows that this world is turbid, and it is indeed more than others, such as Jicheng, there are more cities and turns. I would like to believe his words, but I also know that there must be a lot of meaning in them.
"Such an empty corridor, Wei Jun doesn't know where to go, it's really desert......ed" Long Jie's voice paused slightly, suddenly jumped up, stretched out his hand, and grabbed the wall of the snow corridor beside him: "Why don't you show up to fulfill the friendship of the landlord?"
The dragon ring "giggled" while dragging a person out of the corridor wall!
