As he left Belfast from the main street and passed the long-abandoned old city wall, Lu Li had already seen this with his eyes.
On the back side of the mountain, large areas of farmland and scattered houses are scattered on both sides of the trail. The lights are like fireflies, scattered in the darkness, like stars in the night sky with poor visibility, and the lights of some towns are like a galaxy.
Interestingly, most residents of Belfast look down on the country people on the back of the hill, and mock them for speaking with an accent that sounds like they have pudding in their mouths.
Although they are both on Sugard Mountain, they are only a few dozen miles apart.
On the desolate road, a lonely fire moved slowly.
After leaving Belfast, Lu Li lit a torch. This came from the carriage owner's reminder: darkness is everywhere, where light cannot reach, evil breeds, and only light can drive them away. Where you are
The brighter it is, the safer it is.
But Lu Li was not alone. Occasionally he would meet travelers and convoys coming from far away on the road. They had a special way of greeting each other at night - giving each other a torch.
It's cheap and it saves lives.
In the darkness, Lu Li remained vigilant until the carriage arrived at the town named "Watch Town" on the map.
The Abandoned Asylum is on the edge of Watchtown.
The light represented by civilization dispelled the darkness, and after arriving at Watchtown, it seemed that even the sound of horse hooves became clearer.
The guards at the entrance to the town were unwary of outsiders entering the town at night, as if they were not here to be wary of passers-by, but something else.
Da da da--
The horses' hooves were treading on the bluestone road. Lu Li followed the directions on the map and turned to a dark path.
The surroundings became desolate again, with fewer and fewer houses with lights on, and then fewer and fewer houses. Ten minutes later, Lu Li arrived at the abandoned lunatic asylum two or three miles away from Watch Town.
A building lies dormant in darkness, the iron bars of the door reflecting the light of torches.
The surrounding darkness was filled with deathly silence, with only the sounds of horse hooves and wheels turning.
Lu Li slowed down at the gate, and the carriage passed through the gate and slowly approached the dark building.
As the lunatic asylum was abandoned, untrimmed plants grew unchecked on the roadside.
Ten seconds later, the carriage approached the mental hospital.
The exterior walls of this two-story hospital building are peeling off and covered with vines. The desolate scene makes it look eerie.
The glass door at the entrance has long been broken, and the glass is scattered all over the floor. The hall behind the door frame is in a mess. Debris, rags, tables and chair parts are mixed together, most of the ceiling has fallen off, and a few pieces are held by silk threads and fall in the air. The peeling wallpaper appears.
A blood-like trace.
It looked like it had been looted, burned, and in dilapidated condition.
But considering that there may have been a group of mentally ill patients here - it makes sense.
Stopping in front of the steps, Lu Li opened the car curtain and said to Anna who was huddled in the car: "You stay."
"Eh? Won't I follow you?"
Anna, who was scared, was stunned.
"I paid a 400 shilling deposit for the carriage. At the same time, you can move regardless of the terrain and come over as soon as I encounter any trouble." Lu Li explained.
Anna raised her eyes and glanced at the dark building, then decisively gave in and said, "Then I'll wait for you outside."
After checking the psychic gun in the holster, Lu Li picked up the oil lamp, got out of the car and walked up the steps.
Anna's eyes followed Lu Li as he walked up the steps. He held an oil lamp and the light filled his body for several meters as he walked towards the dark building.
A strange feeling filled her heart, and she felt that this scene was full of a sense of déjà vu in a horror novel.
…
Click——
His shoes stepped on the broken glass. Lu Li, who was approaching the door, stopped and raised his flashlight to shine inside.
There is nothing unusual about the messy hall.
Suddenly, a short black shadow flashed from the left corridor and quietly entered a room.
Lu Li frowned slightly and held the handle of the gun for a moment.
Darkness enveloped my soul, but I didn't feel anything existed in the corridor. Wasn't it a ghost...
He walked past the broken glass in front of the door, lowered his head and walked into the hall.
The sound of footsteps echoed in the empty space, and the debris all over the hall was illuminated by the oil lamp, forming various strange black shadows, shaking as if they came to life.
Lu Li avoided the debris and followed into the corridor where the short black figure was running.
The corridor follows the style of a hall, with dilapidated walls and ceilings that are faded, and brown garbage whose original appearance is unclear.
The concrete walls after the peeling off the wall coverings were painted and carved with various meaningless patterns.
The darkness stretches from the side to the end.
The oil lamp swayed, and the shadows in the ravines on the wall swayed, and Lu Li suddenly felt that something was watching him.
Lu Li never believed in illusions, he was sure that he really felt something.
Standing at the entrance of the corridor, the flashlight light slowly turned from left to right, then from right to left, and the black eyes suddenly shrank.
On the wall next to a door on the right, there is a blood-red eye.
That eye was stimulated by the flashlight, and Gululu turned around with hatred, which was strange and horrifying.
No one can remain calm under the gaze of this scarlet pupil.
Lu Li took steps and walked to the eye.
It was an eyeball carved on the wall, scrawled with red crayon. As the light swayed, the pupils seemed to come alive and rotated accordingly.
Even if it is confirmed to be a fake, the red eyes on the wall still have a permeating malice.
Lu Li bent down to pick up a stone, and used the sharp edge to scratch his eyeball hard.
Whistle, rustle——
Amidst the harsh friction sound, the mud fell, and the red eyeball was shattered, revealing the stone behind it.
After destroying the eyeball, Lu Li threw away the stone. This time, the feeling of being spied on disappeared.
Lu Li turned around and walked towards the room where the short figure ran in.
The dilapidated room was covered with a thick layer of dust, and a clear footprint extended from the doorway to the narrow ventilation duct.
Lu Li was not in a hurry to check for traces of footprints. He walked into the room, stood in front of the door and looked around.
This may be used as a doctor's office, with a row of filing cabinets in the corner and two desks put together under the window.
Everything is covered in gray, with one exception: a worn notebook on the desk.
Although it is also stained with dust, it is very obvious compared with other things in the room, just like when someone comes in, you can see it at first glance, and then go over to open this notebook.
boom!
There was a muffled sound, and the door behind him suddenly closed at this moment.
Lu Li turned his head and narrowed his eyes slightly as the dust fell. He walked to the door and raised his hand with a little force.
The door didn't move at all, as if it was being blocked from the outside.
Lu Li quietly took a few steps back, then suddenly accelerated his pace and bumped into the door with his shoulder.
Bang!
A large amount of dust flew open, and the closed door was knocked open ajar. At the same time, there was a dull sound of falling to the ground from behind the door, and then the echoing sound of someone running quickly into the corridor.
Lu Li loosened his grip on the handle of the gun, but he still didn't feel the ghost.
After thinking for a moment, Lu Li turned around and retreated to the room, not rushing out.
