The sprain seemed to be serious, and Richard kept screaming while holding his right foot.
"You are not trustworthy!"
Richard's screams were mixed with angry accusations: "You should find me in an upright manner, instead of forcing me out by such underhanded means!"
Lu Li watched Richard, who was covered in dust, struggling to get up: "It's not necessary for you."
"Ha... the arrogance of a winner." Richard sneered and slowly raised his head. The blood mixed with the dust made his face look ferocious: "But do you really think you won?"
He limped around, but not towards Lu Li, but towards the side of the garden.
There is an abandoned woodshed or utility room there.
"You don't dare to kill me, and you want to know how to get rid of the ancient god's body from me. You can only watch me leave here with your own eyes."
Lu Li moved his hand away from the holster.
Just like Richard said, if Lu Li wants to get rid of the bloody tentacles, he needs a living Richard.
“Cough—bah!”
Richard spit out blood foam at Lu Li, but it only landed half a meter in front of him. He put his hand into his mouth, screamed and pulled out the movable tooth, raised it and laughed maniacally at Lu Li: "You and your
The ghost girlfriend can’t do anything!”
The smoke and fire rising from the madhouse behind him made him look like a madman.
Even though he is.
"you're right."
Lu Li said, holding Sequence 2, pointing it at Richard's legs, and pulling the trigger.
Bang!
Accompanied by the deafening gunfire, Richard screamed and fell to the ground hugging his calves.
He was afraid of pain, and his screams almost drowned out the crackling sounds of the burning asylum behind him and the sound of the wind swept by the fire.
"You can keep shooting!" Richard, whose mouth was full of blood, shouted at Lu Li, his cheeks twitching from pain constantly throwing out blood streaks: "But don't think I will tell you everything!"
Richard's threat worked. Lu Li put away Sequence 2 and stopped shooting at Richard.
The uncontrollable Richard could do anything.
Richard grinned, stood up again with his legs in his hands, and moved step by step towards the woodshed more than ten meters away: "You win the first half, but I will take the lead in the second half!"
"What do you want to do?" Lu Li looked at him calmly.
"I'm not like you, a despicable, shameless thief and robber who steals the master's finances. You...huh...you want to get the body of an ancient god? Do you want to know the truth?"
Richard, who moved to the door of the woodshed, stopped while holding on to the wooden wall, and opened the door tremblingly.
It was difficult for Lu Li to see what was going on behind the door. He could only see Richard taking off the oil lamp behind the door, lighting it, and looking back at him.
"Come down in person, I will wait for your arrival in the abyss."
Leaving behind words, Richard's figure disappeared into the space behind the door and disappeared.
Lu Li walked towards the woodshed and opened the door of the actor's room.
There are debris piled up in the narrow woodshed, but this is not the point. There is a damp and cold step extending downward, and at the end more than ten meters away, there is the faint light of an oil lamp swaying.
A moist sea breeze blew from under the steps, which reminded Lu Li of the third passage he saw during the second test.
This is the third test passage.
Similar to the situation in the cabin before, Anna could see it but couldn't get involved in it.
"You stay."
Lu Li said to Anna and shook the oil lamp.
There is still more than half of the kerosene, enough to last for more than six hours.
"This could be Richard's trap." Anna whispered.
"But it's also the best chance to deal with the bloody tentacles."
The origin of the ancient god's body, Richard's purpose, and how to get rid of the bloody tentacles.
The fire had spread to the second floor of the asylum, and terrifying black smoke almost covered the entire sky.
Before leaving, Lu Li said to Anna: "Hide yourself. If the police find you when they arrive, show up and tell them what happened. Don't argue."
Anna quietly stared at Lu Li's black eyes, her own figure reflected in them.
"Come back safely."
"Um."
As Anna watched, Lu Li walked into the passage holding an oil lamp.
This time, the passage extends straight down, with no corners blocking the view.
Strangely, Richard, who was only twenty meters ahead of Lu Li, disappeared and seemed to have reached further down.
What's even more strange is the uneven stone steps. Every time you go down one level, the steps will be a few centimeters higher than the previous step. After only going down a dozen floors, Lu Li had to face the steps with a drop of half a meter.
He stopped briefly and looked back at the way he came. There was a faint outline of a silhouette waiting for him at the end of the steps.
Withdrawing his gaze, Lu Li continued to move downward.
As you go down, the passage becomes more humid, the oil lamp shines brightly, and the rough walls reflect water stains. The shadow casts a large shadow behind you, shaking.
Like a dark shadow twitching.
Two minutes later, the gap between the steps became one meter.
After the drop exceeded one meter, Lu Li's movement began to become more and more difficult. Now, every time he went down a step, he had to put the oil lamp next to him and grab the edge of the step with both hands to lower his body.
This ever-increasing distance can't help but frighten people to think, is it possible that once you reach a certain level, you will find that you can't turn back and can only continue downward?
There are no words of advice on the wall, and there is no change. The third test seems to be just a passage that continues to extend downwards with an increasingly large gap.
Because it goes deep underground, the surrounding temperature gradually decreases.
A layer of goosebumps appeared on the exposed neck.
Bang--
Lu Li let go of his hand and landed on the next step.
The echo of the sole falling traveled far.
Lu Li stood on tiptoes, stretched out his hand to hold the bottom of the oil lamp, and shook it down.
The high steps are like a stone wall, blocking the view above.
He could no longer see the way he came, nor could he see the figure waiting at the starting point on the ground.
Looking down again, as the steps get higher, they also become longer, as if they are not prepared for humans, but for a larger existence.
But the passage is still narrow.
The intermittent blood stains on the steps told Lu Li that Richard was still moving downwards.
Lu Li continued downward. When the drop exceeded two meters, he had to bite the handle of the oil lamp with his mouth to prevent the lamp from being lost on the upper step.
He no longer looked back because it was meaningless. The height of the steps at this time had already exceeded his ability to return to the original path. Now he could only continue going down and hope that this passage would end.
At least as far as he can go.
After the steps exceeded two meters, Lu Li spent dozens of seconds on each step, and the soles of his feet became more and more painful as he continued to fall.
At a certain moment, Lu Li, who was standing by the steps like a high wall, suddenly held his breath and listened intently.
The sound of heartbeats filled the passage, becoming fainter as time went by and then disappearing.
Gradually, a sound came from the darkness that seemed like an abyss.
