Ghost Blowing Lantern II

It was really unexpected that we came out of the tunnel outside the building facilities. According to the escape map, there should be a large botanical garden at this exit. We must go around here first to go to the main research building, so we originally Because I didn't want to take a detour, I decided to go straight through the sewer. Could it be that the Russian intelligence was false?

It was already twilight, and the morning mist at dawn shrouded the surrounding areas. In the light mist, we could faintly see a low mountain across a dense forest. Half of the mountain facing us had been dug out, and it was broken. The cross-section of the mountain is covered with caves of various sizes, as if an apple with bug eyes has been cut through it. It seems that these caves are all naturally formed. I can’t count them in detail, but visual inspection estimates that there are at least a hundred of them. entrance of the cave.

In the middle of the excavated mountainside, a very tall giant stone beast was exposed out of the earth. The four of us looked at each other and finally understood why this place was called the "Hundred Eyes Cave". It turned out that there were hundreds of natural caves. It seems that the cavernous stone mountain was completely wrong. What surprised me was more than that. The layout of the stone mountain cave and the ferocious stone beast reminded me of the "Ghost Yamen" I heard Yanzi talk about not long ago. The legend That place is the gate to the underworld. Anyone who enters by mistake has no hope of survival. But they only know the legend of "Ghost Yamen" and that it is somewhere in the mountains, but no one can tell the details. .

The Russian’s suicide note also mentioned that the Japanese had dug a gate to hell. The facts and legends corroborate it. It turned out to be located here. The Hundred-Eyed Cave is the gate to hell that leads to the underworld. I didn’t believe it. There are ghosts in the world, but a series of abnormal events in this secret research facility have to make people doubt their own worldview.

The fat man also felt that the hillside over there looked very familiar. He stared at it for a long time before remembering: "Isn't this the big ghost government office? The ones we saw in Tuanshanzi are much smaller than this one. I guess this place is the real deal. What do you think? Can there really be a connection to the underworld? I think this is quite suspenseful..."

The locust poison that Ding Sitian was infected with was a neurological infection, not a blood infection, and the onset was not fast. Although she had a low fever, she was still in good spirits. She looked at the hillside with big holes and small eyes and said to me and the fat man: "The underworld? Those densely packed caves make people feel uncomfortable. Have you seen them in other places before? What is the place inside?"

I felt that there was no need to hide the matter now, so I asked the fat man to briefly tell her about the past events. After listening to this, Ding Sitian and Lao Yangpi both had surprised expressions on their faces. They looked at the mountain in fear. That Da Xianbei There is a legend that the cave where the female corpse is hidden is the entrance to the underworld? The Japanese must have dug out too many evil spirits from the corpse hole to keep burning in such a crematorium full of talismans.

I thought to myself that I had to find some excuse to stabilize the morale of the army. The best way was nothing more than "class struggle, which can be solved as soon as you catch it." So I said to everyone: "Some of the things we encountered here are really shocking. Horrible, it is difficult to speculate with common sense, but I think there may not be any underworld in the world. If there is, it is the destination of emperors, generals, ministers, talents and beauties. It has nothing to do with us proletarians. There is no need to worry too much about the cave. Besides, there is this Kangxi sword. Shocked, forgive those monsters who dare not make mistakes. I think this is absolutely reliable. It is not because this sword was used by the emperor. Any weapon that has commanded the three armies or been used on the battlefield has its own characteristics. With three points of evil spirit, any unclean things can be blocked."

These words made Lao Yangpi nod his head repeatedly. He believed this statement very much, but Ding Sitian suddenly asked me: "Then we... where will we go after we die? Heaven? Hell? Or eternal nothingness? "

I was speechless when asked. I had never thought about this matter before, so I had to tell her: "What is eternal nothingness? It is a typical theory of annihilation of class struggle. We all have to live well and carry out the revolution to the end, even if it is You can’t die worthless in a hellish place like this.”

These words made Ding Sitian feel at ease. After I finished speaking, I asked everyone to rest for a while and check the map again. I found that it was not the Russian map that had errors, but the huge contrast in the environment that gave us an illusion. After all, the ground plan mainly focuses on underground waterways, and there are only symbols on the surface buildings. The exit we drilled out of the drainage facility is indeed the closed plant area, but the ceiling has long since completely collapsed, and there are still some broken walls and iron around it. The net is hidden among the dead trees. Through the dead trees, under the hillside full of caves, there is a low blue-gray building. That should be the main research building. It contains the power distribution room, the medical room, There are storage rooms, communication rooms and other units, but the ground scale seems to be much smaller than expected.

The situation in that building was unknown, and it was not easy to find the antidote there. The closer I got to the target, the less sure I was. Seeing the greenness in Ding Sitian's brows getting heavier, I knew that now I could only treat a dead horse as a living thing. The horse was cured. At this time, the fog among the hills and trees became thicker, and the visibility gradually decreased. I looked at the direction, waved my hand to everyone, picked up Ding Sitian, and hurriedly got into the dead trees and grass.

The dead leaves and weeds were so dense that they made a rustling sound when people's clothes were rubbed against them. The birds in the forest were startled and flew away, making several shrill calls. I pulled out my long knife to clear a path, and cut through the dense tangle. The dead branches of the grass were cut off, and a path was opened. The fog in the grass became thicker and thicker, and the trees and grass were extremely dense. When I walked deeper, I could only see a few steps, so I had to slow down. , so as not to get separated from others in the forest.

Just when I was worried that I would lose the correct direction because of the fog, a collapsed ancient vine appeared in front of me, blocking the way. We had to stop. This is the Guanyin vine covered with thorns and barbs, which is the golden-scaled vine. The shelter. When we left the incineration room, the worm was locked in the crematorium, but we don’t know what is going on now. I saw that the Guanyin vine grew very huge. It was so thick that several people could hug it. It was rare in the soil of Baiyan Cave. Abnormally, it can nourish corpses, otherwise the giant vines in the south would not be able to grow here. This is probably one of the reasons why the Japanese anti-epidemic and water supply troops set up research facilities here.

The fallen Guanyin vine was broken into pieces, but the vine was too big and full of barbs. It was not easy to climb over it. We looked at it for a few times and sighed at the vine, so we had to prepare to cut it from the vegetation on both sides. We went around the dense place, and then the fat man came up with a way. We put some Russian clothes on the vines to cover the thorns, and we could climb over directly.

We didn’t want to take a detour from both sides, because the ancient wood and wolf forests in those areas were so intertwined that there was almost no place to stay. It was extremely difficult to open a road with a long knife and it took a lot of effort. Fatty heard that this idea was not bad and it was rare. He had a good idea, so he immediately adopted it. I followed the law and climbed up the fallen vine easily. Due to limited clothing, everyone had to pass through together. The fat man and I climbed up first, and then Ding Si Tian and Laoyangpi were also dragged up.

Just as he was about to lower the vine from the opposite side, Lao Sheepskin suddenly stepped on the ground. He fell down on the spot and pushed his knees to the outside of the clothes that were used to support his feet. He was immediately stabbed to death by Guanyin's hard vertical thorns, and his knees were covered with bone seams. , the feeling of being pricked by a vine thorn can be imagined, and the pain suddenly made him "ahhhh" and gasped. Just when Lao Sheeppi slipped and slipped, I wanted to reach out and pull him, but at that moment , I can hardly believe my own eyes.

Lao Yangpi carried a furoshiki on his back, which contained some groceries we brought out from the Russian researcher's room. The fat man had always been carrying it, but since the fat man and I had to clear the way for everyone to climb up the vine first, we temporarily carried it on the back. When I went to pull him, I saw two white-haired arms stretching out from the bundle on his back. As soon as I glanced over, the arms retracted with a "swish". Got the baggage.

The fog was hazy and the sky was dim. It was definitely not because of the light that made my eyes dazzled. The white hands covered with hair were exactly the same as what we saw at the door of the incineration room. That time I saw only the white on the glass window. The shadow flickered, and I didn't dare to take a closer look at it, but I did see such a pair of human hands. Although it was foggy, it was still daytime after all, and there was only so much space in that bag, so how could it stretch out two arms? , is there really a ghost that has been following us here?

In addition to many surprising and inexplicable things along the way, such as being locked in the crematorium; the door of the incinerator was opened again in the dark, and the golden-scaled cockroaches released almost killed everyone, and also caused Ding Sitian was poisoned and her life was hanging by a thread; when I was walking in the drainage ditch, I clearly saw a vague black shadow following behind me; in the room where the Russians lived, the burned remains of zombies appeared inexplicably. On the table, everyone was almost enchanted in their dreams. All of this showed that there was an undead person who planned to kill us and was following us closely, but I still couldn't find it. , from the very beginning, it was my openness against the dark, very passive.

I never expected that the thing that wanted to kill us was not following us, but closer. He was hiding on one of us. If Lao Sheeppi hadn't accidentally slipped, I'd be afraid. I haven't discovered the secret yet.

It was too late, but it was fast then. I saw the white shadow flashing in the bundle Lao Yangpi was carrying. I immediately grabbed his arm and shouted to Lao Yangpi: "Throw the baggage away!" Lao Yangpi might be suffering from knee pain. Ren, he didn’t understand what I meant. He just grinned in pain and couldn’t even speak.

I thought to myself that I couldn't explain this matter in a single sentence, and Lao Yangpi was stabbed in the knee. I don't know the extent of the injury, so I had to drag the person up first and then take care of it, but I couldn't pull Lao Yangpi at all, so I kicked it hard. , the clothes under my feet were unbuttoned, and the scene I just witnessed deeply touched me. In a popular saying at the time: "It has touched my soul", and it actually slipped off the vine.

At this time, Fatty and Ding Sitian also stretched out their hands, trying to help me pull the old sheepskin back to the vine, but the four of them were concentrated on one side, causing the center of gravity of the clothes under their feet to shift, and the hard thorns on the vine were hung up. The four of them somersaulted and fell from the vine at the same time. Fortunately, the fallen Guanyin vine was not too high, and there were branches and thick weeds underneath, so they did not fall directly and bubble.

Even so, the fall was not light, and when it fell, the force of the fall was not small. There happened to be a fallen dead tree under the vine. The roots of the tree were very big, withered and rotten, and the roots and stems were intertwined to form a tree. The hole was empty inside. The fat man rolled down into the grass and smashed through the rotten wood on the tree hole. Our bodies sank again and fell heavily to the bottom of the tree hole.

There were lumps of rotten wood under the tree hole. If I hadn’t fallen to the ground indirectly, my waist might have been broken. It seemed like all the joints in my body were falling apart. I heard the fat man grunting in pain, and I was about to struggle to get up. To see how they were doing, there was a loud roar above their heads. The dry and brittle Guanyin vine was stepped on by us. It couldn't bear it, and it immediately cracked, blocking the top of the head tightly. In an instant, the tree hole was filled with There was no light.

I called the names of my companions in the dark, and Fatty and Ding Sitian responded one after another. Although the fall was not light, it was nothing serious because of their young bodies and strong bones. They were just so painful that they broke out in cold sweats.

Seeing that these two people were okay, I relaxed a little and asked them to turn on the engineer lighting tubes on their bodies to see if Lao Sheepskin also fell into the tree hole? Why haven't you seen him for a long time? The tree hole is narrow at the top and wide at the bottom. The roots are several times thicker than a telegraph pole. It is densely packed and seems to be surrounded by a tree wall. There are no gaps around it. The bottom is about seven or eight square meters in size. The area is very limited. I am eager to find Lao Sheepskin. , without waiting for Ryoko, he endured the pain all over his body and started groping under the tree cave.

Suddenly I felt something sticky on my hand, which seemed to be blood. I was even more anxious and urged Fatty and Ding Sitian to turn on the lighting tubes quickly. However, the engineer lighting tubes were probably dropped and had poor contact. Why? It didn't light up even after slapping it. The fat man found half a candle in his pocket, so he had to take it out for a temporary emergency.

The fat man had just lit a match when suddenly there was a gust of cold wind, as if someone blew a breath of cold air, and immediately blew out the match. We had just felt that the tree hole had been tightly blocked from all sides, and there was no air inside. Circulation, where did the wind extinguish the match? The fat man hurriedly drew another one, but before the fire could light up, another gust of wind blew it out.
