Chapter 10 The Haunting of the Quarry

 The toilet is built in the far corner on the left side of the house.

Far away from the hall, far away from the noise of people, it was so quiet that it made people feel sick.

Da Tou had just finished draining the water, and his stomach rebelled again, so he had to choose a toilet grid and crawled in again.

There are no toilets in the wilderness, there are squatting pits, and the bathroom grid is small, no more than one meter square. Closing the door seems to separate a lonely space, and everything outside is no longer connected, just like other people in this house.

Like a grid.

Like a living coffin.

Thinking of this, Datou's heart suddenly jumped, and the partition door that was originally closed quietly opened a small gap. After thinking about it again, he simply pushed it open completely.

"It's not because I'm brave! It's not because the ghost story in the toilet just now was scary."

He defended himself secretly.

"I just want to ventilate and be careful of those bastards who come and play tricks."

"Well, yes! That's it..."

"Snapped."

He was cheering himself up, but suddenly, the lights turned off.

My eyes suddenly fell into darkness.

His whole body tensed up, and he hurriedly took out his cell phone and looked into the darkness.

Left!

right!

superior!

Down!

"call."

He breathed a sigh of relief unconsciously.

Nothing.

Nothing happened.

"The power supply is insufficient or the connection is poor." He smiled, "Let me just say, there are no ghosts in the world."

But.

"Creak, creak, creak..."

That was the sound of the door shaft rubbing.

With this sound, in the meager light of the mobile phone, the partition door slowly closed little by little, and it also raised goosebumps on his skin little by little, and slowly tightened his heart.

It was clear that he could push the door open with just a touch of his hand, but he did nothing. He just watched the door slowly approach and finally close it completely, trapping him in this small one-meter-square space. He could only hear himself.

heart……

"thump."

"thump."

"It's the wind!"

He told himself desperately.

It was the wind that closed the door.

However, he then thought: when he first came in, the doors and windows of the entire toilet were closed tightly by himself.

Where does the wind come from?

At this moment, an inexplicable wind blew through the gap in the door, letting out some sobs that sounded like weeping. Well, those sobs seemed to be mixed with some low laughter.

then.

"Clang."

Something was knocked to the ground?!

Li Datou shrank his neck, widened his eyes, and had a cry in his tone.

"Zhang San? Li Si? Wang Mazi? Is it you who lied?"

No one responded.

"Don't scare me."

Just when his heart and liver were about to burst out with tears.

"Snapped."

The electric light suddenly turned on, and the soft light dispelled the darkness, and all the abnormal noises disappeared. There was no more whimpering from the wind, and no more vague laughter.

Li Datou waited anxiously for a long time. It seemed that everything had calmed down, and then he slowly felt relieved.

But.

The tension in his mind had just calmed down, and some random thoughts couldn't stop rising again.

For no reason, he remembered again the ending of the previous ghost story.

"... Just when Xiao Li thought everything was over, there was suddenly a slight noise above his head. Xiao Li looked up suddenly and saw a disheveled head with a pair of red eyes on the toilet door.

Stare straight at him!"

I don’t know if it’s a psychological effect or if it actually exists.

A short, weak sound suddenly sounded from above.

"Don't look up!"

He tried desperately to stop himself.

"Don't look!"

But fear pulled his hair, pulling his eyes upward little by little, and he saw that the top of the door edge was... empty, only the ceiling with large mold stains.

"Haaha..."

This tone finally relaxed completely, and the valley road that had been previously stagnated due to tension became smoother. Li Datou laughed and scolded himself as "suspicious" and turned to get toilet paper...

His face suddenly turned pale.

On the wall behind him, there was actually a ghostly figure with disheveled hair.

"ah!"

This ghost figure, who didn't know when it appeared or how long it had been staring at him silently, finally defeated Li Datou's sanity.

He didn't care about his pants or toilet paper, he screamed and ran out of the toilet door.

But at some point, the trash can in the toilet was knocked over, and the messy garbage inside was spilled on the floor. In his haste, he actually stepped on a piece of watermelon rind.

My feet slipped... I made room for my body, and I seemed to see a mouse under the light bulb, with a mouse riding on it...

"Boom."

His head hit the floor hard.

His eyes went black and he fell unconscious.

…………

"Big head?"

"Li Datou!"

After the burning pain on his face passed, Li Datou slowly woke up.

As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw several faces surrounding him, one of them said:

"Why are you sleeping on the ground with your pants off? Are you free gliding?"

You are so free gliding!

He had the intention to curse back, but when he opened his mouth, it turned out to be.

"hiss."

The back of my head is in excruciating pain.

Seeing this, several people pulled him up, helped him deal with the dirt on his body, and helped him back to the hall.

After Li Datou asked for a while, he found out that they had heard his scream and ran over, which meant that he had not been unconscious for a few minutes.

I just sat down.

Zhang San smiled and asked: "How is it? Do you want to continue telling the ghost story?"

Tell your sister's ghost story, I... Li Datou was just about to curse, but suddenly he thought, had he been tricked by these three bastards just now? But, how did they do it?

Datou looked at the three of them suspiciously, and saw the three of them exchanging glances, sly eyebrows, and snickering.

He became more and more suspicious in his heart, and the rejection on his lips also changed.

"Speak! Keep talking! Whoever is afraid is the son of a bitch!"

At worst, it goes in one ear and out the other, it doesn't go through the brain, so you can't scare me.

Of course, Li Datou said this to himself in his heart.

Then, Wang Mazi next to him cleared his throat and told the story he had not finished before:

…………

What I am telling you now is a true story.

This thing didn't happen anywhere else, it happened under our feet, in this quarry.

You all recognize Huang Laowu, and the newcomers all think that he was sent to a mental hospital because his head was broken. But the elders all know that the reason is not that simple.

About seven or eight years ago, the company was short of manpower, but Huang Laowu was old, slippery, and unreliable in other matters, so he was left to guard the quarry.

It was also such a summer night.

Huang Laowu fell asleep in a daze in the middle of the night. A young man shook him awake and asked him to patrol the stone cell together.

This is a rule from above, and the "stone cell" must be patrolled every few hours.

But it stands to reason that the stone grids are all cut out of the rock, and the iron lids are thick and heavy, so the people inside can't escape at all, so there is no need to patrol so diligently.

Actually there is a reason for this.

There was no such rule at first, but things got busy for a while and the guards were careless. One prisoner fell ill and died inside. When he was found, his flesh was rotten!

We used iron hooks to hook the body, but before the body could be hooked out, the nose was worn off first. If we continued, we were afraid that what would come out would just be meat paste wrapped in a pile of bones. We simply stuffed the body back, and then put this

The grid has sealed the matter. If there is such an ugly death that is difficult to deal with in the future, this method will be followed.

Therefore, this patrol is not to see if the prisoner can escape, but to see if the prisoner dies.

Huang Laowu was sleeping soundly and definitely didn't want to get up. But the young man said that he was new here and didn't know what to do, so he half-coaxed and half-persuaded Huang Laowu to get up.

Arrive at the stone cell.

Huang Laowu saw that the young man was new here, and while he was dozing off, he ordered the young man to "beat the dog gong".

"Knock the dog gong" does not require knocking, just shine the flashlight into the vent. The people inside are so locked up that they are going crazy and are very sensitive to any stimulation from the outside world. As long as there is a little light, they will see it like a hungry dog.

A piece of shit rushed up and hit the iron lid, making a "dong" sound like a gong.

That’s why it’s called “beating the dog gong”.

Young people "knock" first.

There was a "boom" sound, and someone inside scolded: "The mud horse sells hemp skin, let go..."

This means that people are still alive, but they are not closed enough.

The young man "knocked" the second one.

There was still a "dong" sound, and someone inside cried: "Please let me out."

This means it's almost closed, but a little less heated.

The young man "knocks" the third one.

There was also a "dong" sound, and someone inside made a sound, but he couldn't speak clearly. He just yelled "ah" and "woo" randomly.

Then this person can be released depending on the situation.



Until the young man "knocked" on the tenth number.

There was still a "dong" sound, and someone was talking inside, but the voice was too weak to be heard clearly.

The young man was about to put his ear to it and listen to what was going on, but Huang Laowu suddenly jumped over, grabbed the young man and ran out.

He walked all the way through the empty corridor and ran into the empty control room.

The young man watched Huang Laowu panting and closing the door, very puzzled.

"Old Huang, what are you doing?"

"What am I going to do? Do you know that your baby owes me a life?!"

Huang Laowu explained:

"Those stone cells are also called 'living coffins'. Why? Because some contain living people and some contain dead people! The last cell you knocked on is for dead people. Why do dead people move?"

"Fake corpse?"

The young man's face changed and he asked:

"There is only one grid for the dead?"

"more than."

"Then are there other dead people who have 'moved' and run away?"

Huang Laowu trembled when he heard this, and quickly turned on the computer to check the monitoring.

There was no unusual movement in the corridor, hall, toilet... there was no unusual movement.

Huang Laowu changed his mind and asked the young man to watch the monitoring of the stone cell on another computer and count how many stone grids were opened.

There are twenty grids in total, three are sealed for the dead, and eleven are used for the living, so they should be open...

"See clearly."

"How many?"

Huang Laowu turned around and saw the young man smiling at him. The smile was getting bigger and bigger, the corners of his mouth were getting wider and wider, and the muscles on his face were pulling the skin around his nose to rupture.

at last.

The nose actually peeled off from the face.

He said:

"Seven."

…………

The more some people fear something, the more they can't help but pay attention to that thing.

Li Datou didn't want to hear this story at all, but every word was drilled into his heart with all his strength.

It wasn't until Wang Mazi blew out the candle that he seemed to wake up from his sleep.

"Big head!"

Yang Sanli suddenly called him over there.

Li Datou stood up suddenly as if he had been granted amnesty.

"Mr. Yang, what's going on?"

"Get ready to drive back to the city."

"oh."

He nodded hurriedly, and then said to the other three players in a pretentious manner:

"Oh, what a pity. This ghost story telling game is quite interesting, but I don't have enough time. I'll continue it next time if I have a chance."

After saying that, he smiled and touched his butt, but he was shocked.

Where are my keys?

Where is this big bunch of keys on my butt?!

So, he searched the hall inside and out, and even braved a trip to the toilet, but the key was nowhere to be seen.

"Did it fall over there with the 'living coffin'?"

"impossible."

Li Datou immediately retorted.

He clearly remembered that someone had thrown the key to him in the hall before.

How could it possibly fall on the side of the "living coffin"?!

Besides, it’s so scary over there.

"Then why can't you find it?"

This sentence left him speechless, and coupled with Yang Sanli's impatient urging, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and leave.

Originally, he wanted to call one or two people to go with him, but when he saw the joking eyes of a few bastards, he lost face and dared. Li Datou pretended not to care and walked out of the hall, but his hand was quietly

Got a steel pipe.

From the hall to the stone prison, you have to go through a long corridor.

Everyone is in the hall.

The corridor was empty, with only the dim lights reflecting some strange shadows.

The strong and brave face of Li Datou was already shattered the moment he stepped into the corridor.

He grasped the steel pipe tightly with both hands and hugged it to his chest without thinking. His eyes and ears were constantly alert to every movement in all directions.

Just a hundred steps, it's an extremely long walk.

Finally he arrived in front of the stone cell.

open the door.

The cold, damp air surged up.

He tried to turn on the light, but the filament in the glass bulb flickered a few times, made a "squeaky" sound, and stopped moving.

"The dog said it."

He cursed, hesitated at the door for a while, and finally stepped into the dark and dank cell, turned on the flashlight on his cell phone, and tried to find it.

But it’s still the same sentence: the more fearful something is, the more you can’t help but pay attention to it.

His eyes were involuntarily attracted to the grids on the stone wall, and he counted the open grids unconsciously.

Li Datou has never guarded a quarry, so he doesn't know exactly what is happening in which grid.

But he did know a rough number.

There are now thirty in total, six are sealed, and eighteen people are imprisoned. In other words, there should be some open cells... He counted them one by one.

"one two three four five six……"

His teeth were chattering, but he still counted out with a cry.

"seven!"

At this moment, a soft sound suddenly came from the side.

From the corner of his eye, he could see something moving in the darkness where the sound came from.

He hurriedly took a photo of his cell phone, but there was a man standing silently in the corner with his back to him. The man seemed to be alarmed by the light and turned around suddenly!

Li Datou's mind went blank for an instant.

The man has no nose on his face.
