Chapter 62 Confetti
He Xiaojianqiang didn't hear Zhang Zuo say anything about how he died, so he didn't understand why my face became so ugly and said, "What's wrong? Do you know something?"
I hesitated whether I should tell him what Zhang Zuo said, and I was worried that all this was just a random guess. Maybe this was an ordinary doll and had nothing to do with Zhang Zuo. In that case, I would tell Zhang Zuo’s secrets to increase the psychological burden on each other. So after thinking for a long time, I shook my head and signaled that He Xiaojianqiang, I was fine.
He Xiaojianqiang could naturally see that I was lying, but he didn't say much. He looked at the arm over and over for a long time, but he didn't see any reason. He put his hand aside and began to look at the cave again. Because of the coincidence of the previous arm, I also started to get up to the cave. After a while, I saw a hand slowly stretching out from the cave, and it was also the doll's arm. It looked the same as before, but it was just a difference between one left and one right.
When I saw one arm again, my heart began to panic, and Zhang Zuo's words appeared again: "...One arm is over, the other arm..." I stared blankly at the arm that seemed to be desperately trying to emerge from the cave. I didn't know what to do, but He Xiaojianqiang seemed to be a little impatient and said fiercely: "Damn, I don't believe in this evil!" As he said, he reached out to grab the arm again.
It's strange that the arm was trying hard to drill out, but as soon as He Xiaojianqiang grabbed it, he began to retract forcefully. It was extremely powerful, obviously even stronger than the last time. It seemed as if he wanted to pull He Xiaojianqiang in with all his might. He Xiaojianqiang's body trembled and gradually tilted into the water, but he probably was ruthless and refused to let go.
I was suddenly shocked by my own thoughts. If this is true, could this arm that had tried hard to drill out before was actually just bait? Its real purpose was to pull us in, just like the scenes Zhang Zuo saw. Those rocks would scrape our flesh and cut our bones. The more I thought about it, the more I became scared, and I couldn't help but shout: "Let go!" Then I used the best strength to pull He Xiaojianqiang's arm that stretched out from the cave and slapped him hard. Then I hugged him and pulled him back.
He Xiaojianqiang didn't expect that I would make a sudden move this time, so I was pulled and fell heavily to the ground. However, he quickly got up. Judging from his grinning look, he should have fallen a lot. After my trouble, the stretched arm quickly shrank back. He Xiaojianqiang looked at me without saying a word. I knew he was waiting for me to explain to him.
I knew it was impossible to continue hiding it at this time, so I didn't hesitate anymore and told He Xiaojianqiang what Zhang Zuo said and my own analysis. The more He Xiaojianqiang listened, the more serious He looked. Obviously, he also felt that what I said made sense. Until I finished everything, he did not express his opinion. After a while, he said, "There is a problem in one place."
I asked: "What's the question?"
He Xiaojianqiang said: "From the length of the hair you pulled out, this cave seems to be about one meter deep, but if it is really about one meter deep, what's going on with this arm?" He kicked the arm that was previously pulled off by us and said: "This arm is only about twenty centimeters long. If the cave is really one meter deep, it can't even stretch out, let alone have the strength to pull us in, so..."
I looked at He Xiaojianqiang and waited for him to tell me the answer.
He Xiaojianqiang said: "So, I don't know what's going on."
I almost didn't suffocate to death, but then He Xiaojianqiang said, "So, I think your previous idea is right. We should find the space behind the cave first. Anyway, with you there, there will definitely be no danger."
This is the second time I have heard He Xiaojianqiang say such things. The first time I was on it, but I didn’t take it seriously. When I heard him say it again, I began to feel strange. Could it be that he had discovered something during the time he was following the doll?
I became more and more curious and asked, "Why do you say that?"
He Xiaojianqiang shook his head, smiled, and didn't answer anything, just said, "It's better to go up now and look for the other side of the cave."
I nodded, and the two of them were about to set off. He Xiaojianqiang thought for a while and said, "Wait a minute." Then he took out a few pieces of paper from his body and looked at the top of the piece. I was embarrassed to look carefully on the side. I felt that it seemed to be something was drawing, but I didn't see clearly. He Xiaojianqiang folded the top of the paper and put it in his pocket. Then he tore the paper into very small pieces and poured them all into the water, saying, "It's a pity that there are too few, otherwise even if we can't find the place we want to find, the underground river water will always flow out, sprinkle some paper, hoping that there will be multiple clues to know where it will flow in the end."
I know this method. It is said that there is a bottomless pit on the coast of the ancient city of Ados in Greece. There are more than 30,000 tons of sea water flowing into this cave every day, but it has never been filled. People have been curious about where the sea water went. Later, the inspection team members studied and created a light rose-colored plastic particle. This plastic particle is slightly lighter than sea water. It can float on the water surface without sinking the bottom, and will not be dissolved by sea water. They poured 130 kilograms of plastic particles into the sea water, and then mobilized many people to search in the waters in various places for more than a year, but they did not even find a plastic particle. He Xiaojianqiang used this method, but there were too few papers. I don’t think it could really help us.
He Xiaojian also felt that these pieces of paper were too few and could not play any role, so he smiled awkwardly and said, "Let's go."
Although the two were ready to find the space on the other side of the cave, the problem was that they didn't know where to start. I wouldn't simply think that as long as I climbed up and walked another meter to the right eye, I could see the place we were looking for. Perhaps there was such a space there, but it was buried deep in the ground. We could never dig a fifty-meter hole with our hands. So when the two crawled out of the underground world and stood outside, they didn't know what to do. They had seen the right eye position long ago. In addition to the mountain, they were also mountains, and there was no cave leading to the bottom.
The two of them looked at me and I looked at you, but they didn't know what to do next. I sighed. Since I couldn't find the secret of becoming a doll, and we have no direction at all now, then there seems to be only one thing we can do next, that is, let He Xiaojianqiang take me to the room full of dolls that look very much like me.
He Xiaojianqiang nodded and agreed with my proposal. He stood up and patted the soil on his butt, and said, "You should have gone to that place once."
I said no, and He Xiaojianqiang said again: "If we really have something to do, you have to take care of it."
I smiled bitterly: "You look down on me too much. You know, this is my first time here in this ghost place. You can't think that the person behind this is my admirer just because those dolls look like me. I don't believe that I have such great charm."
He Xiaojianqiang opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he said nothing, just patted my shoulder and said, "Let's go."
At this time, the sky was already white, so we turned off the searchlight. After all, it was inconvenient to charge here, so we could save as much as possible. He Xiaojianqiang led the way in front and gradually walked up the mountain behind the village. The more I walked, I felt a little uneasy and asked, "How far is the place you are going?"
He Xiaojianqiang said: "At this speed, there are about twenty minutes left."
I stopped and looked forward. He Xiaojianqiang looked surprised: "What's wrong?"
I said slowly, "Do you remember the Fengmen Village I told you? It's exactly the same as here. There is also an old house in the Fengmen Village location. There is no old house here, but there is a stone room you mentioned."
He Xiaojianqiang also fell silent. Both of them knew that these two strange villages must have something that we didn’t know, but we just didn’t understand. He Xiaojianqiang asked: “What do you think, or not to go?”
I replied, "Go, of course I have to go, and suddenly I have a very strange feeling that someone is waiting for me and calling me."
This statement is too illusory, but I think that feeling is very real. What's strange is that He Xiaojianqiang looks like he is right, as if I don't have such an idea, it's abnormal. I didn't ask him why, and walked forward with my legs raised. Of course, this time I was walking in front.
He Xiaojianqiang followed me without saying anything, which made me know that the road I was walking was right. The twenty-minute journey was soon completed. I saw that there should be an old house in Fengmen Village. It was a flat land with weeds and trees growing on it. He Xiaojianqiang walked out from behind me and said, "Follow me, the stone room is underground."
There is a cave in the grass, just like what we saw in that place first, the difference is that there are layers of stone steps here, which saves us from the trouble of climbing again.
The stone steps were very long and the ground was very dark. He Xiaojianqiang turned on the searchlight in front. In order to save electricity, my searchlight did not turn on, but just followed him tightly. After walking for about twenty minutes, He Xiaojianqiang suddenly stopped. Because the passage where the stone steps were not wide and only allowed to walk alone, I could not see the things in front of him at all, and could only recognize some light. At this time, he stopped and asked, "Have you arrived?"
He Xiaojianqiang pushed me back with one hand and said, "You go back first."
I heard his bad tone, so I hurriedly took a few steps back, stood high and looked down, and found a person standing not far in front of him, followed by a searchlight in He Xiaojianqiang's hand. I saw that the person was Yang Zijiang, who had not seen for a long time.
I immediately walked forward a few steps and stood behind He Xiaojianqiang, and shouted: "What are you doing here?"
This is a bit rude. After all, this place is not owned by me, and anyone can come in. However, I get angry when I see Yang Zijiang, so no matter how hard it is, I always feel that everything is wrong with him.
I wanted to continue saying something, He Xiaojianqiang pulled my hand and whispered: "Look at his shoulder."
I hurriedly looked at his shoulder. He Xiaojianqiang's searchlight kept illuminating Yang Zijiang. Yang Zijiang did not hide and said nothing. I looked through the light and found that Yang Zijiang's shoulders and hair were covered with many small white dots. He Xiaojianqiang whispered: "Fragments, his shoulders and hair are fragments I torn off."
I was shocked: He Xiaojianqiang's eyesight is much better than mine, and I don't think that in such a place, there will be people who are bored to get some paper confetti and throw it on his head to play. The only explanation is that Yang Zijiang should be on the other end of the cave. Because there are not many paper confetti, and it has been several hours since the moment we put down the paper confetti to the present. If Yang Zijiang had only come into contact with these paper confetti far from the cave, there would definitely be so many on his body. After all, paper confetti will soon soak into the bottom of the water. This is why I didn't like them at the beginning. Now there are so many paper confetti on Yang Zijiang's body, it is only because shortly after we put them down, these paper confettis were stained on him, so he must be on the other side of the cave at that time.
Yang Zijiang had been lowering his head and not talking, but then he slowly raised his head, staring at us with his eyes tightly. I felt that his whole body was starting to feel cold. If you really can kill people, Yang Zijiang was definitely the level of a super expert. But he was cold in his heart, but he didn't necessarily feel afraid. After all, we are two people now, and He Xiaoqiang's skills are no worse than Yang Zijiang. In addition, I was knocking on the edge and tripping the stick. It should be no problem to deal with him. It's just a pity that this place is too small, and there is no way for two people to rush up and fight together. Moreover, in such a small space, it seems that they can't use any moves. They can only punch and kick straight.
I was still thinking about how to beat Yang Zijiang, and He Xiaojianqiang pushed me back and whispered: "You go out first, I will lead him out, and then entangle him, you can go down alone."
I wanted to say something, but suddenly I felt something in my palm, and it was a piece of folded paper. Then I heard He Xiaojianqiang say, "You will be fine."
