The feeling of fear is already too unfamiliar to Chen Zhi.
For a long time, Chen Zhi even thought that he would never be afraid again.
Unexpectedly, this familiar feeling would reappear in the ruins of this western border fortress.
A scientist in the West once believed that the reason why people feel fear is not actually fear in the traditional sense.
In its most essence, it is a prediction mechanism of the human body. When encountering severe danger ahead, a chemical reaction of self-preservation will occur in the human brain, prompting him not to continue moving forward.
This inexplicable emotion appears now, which proves that there is indeed something very powerful in these ruins, an unknown power.
Chen Zhi began to walk along that road and continued to move forward.
Fear, a primitive feeling, could not make him retreat.
What he needs to do now is to get to the temple quickly.
No matter if Fat Wei left for any reason, the ultimate goal is there, that is their common destination!
As long as Fat Wei is still alive, they will eventually meet there...
Chen Zhi's speed at this time had increased several times compared to before. He ignored the invisible thing behind him that had been following him, as if he didn't feel anything behind him at all.
But he was very sure that the ruins were completely different from what they were during the day.
There is something here that neither science nor common sense can explain. The indescribable pressure can drive people crazy.
The road suddenly became longer at night, like a road to the underworld with no end, but in the end, Chen Zhi still reached the end.
When Chen Zhi stepped into the huge temple again, he felt that the temple was obviously different.
Compared with when we saw it during the day, this temple is obviously much newer, and the interior decoration is clean. The paint on the ceiling is bright, and it is not a ruin at all.
You can see the Buddha statues on the surrounding Buddhist altars that are lifelike, colorful and well-preserved.
On the incense burner on the Buddhist altar, there are many long incense sticks that have just been lit, as if someone had just paid attention to the Buddha here...
However, the place is still empty, very quiet, and a bit eerie~~
Chen Zhi naturally turned his head and looked for the ladder again.
The ladder was still there, but this time it was more visible in the darkness.
The silver curved ladder handrails sparkled, mixed with colorful gems, and were very eye-catching in the dark, as if inviting him to come over.
Chen Zhi glanced around and saw no trace of Fat Wei or anyone else.
So he reached out and pulled out the bag from his trouser leg, and slowly walked towards the ladder.
The ladder still led to darkness, but the difference this time was that there was a faint candlelight in the darkness underground.
Chen Zhi's brain nerves immediately became tense. He understood Fat Wei's habits. Fat Wei would never act without permission before he arrived, let alone light candles in dangerous places.
And when they searched here during the day, they didn't see any candles or candlesticks.
In other words, someone must have entered here now, and this person is not from their team.
Then this person...
It is very likely that he is the murderer who killed the staff before.
Chen Zhi held on to the ladder and stepped down step by step.
This is the characteristic of metal ladders. No matter how sturdy they are, they will make a "squeaking, squeaking" sound every time they take a step.
But Chen Zhi did not step lightly, deliberately letting the people inside hear his footsteps.
Chen Zhi walked down step by step. When his body gradually disappeared into the darkness, he could clearly hear sounds coming from inside.
It was a clear gasp...
"Huh~~
Huhu~~
Huhu~~Huhu~~”
The gasping sound had clearly exposed the owner's position, and it was certain that it was a man's voice!
Chen Zhi walked to Shiping and looked down. Sure enough, there was a candlestick underground.
It was placed at the foot of the stone screen. It was a very ancient candlestick, made of pure gold. There were not many candles left on the candlestick, and the wax flowed all over the floor.
The weak firelight appeared extremely weak in the darkness, swaying slowly.
The murals on the stone screen gave off a strange feeling under the firelight.
The scene where Gao Changguo was attacked was very bloody, and at this time in the darkness, it seemed to become even more dazzling, and the blood-red color was shocking.
Chen Zhi took the candlestick and walked step by step into the darkness, chasing the sound of heavy breathing, and calmly explored inside.
"Huh~~
Huhu~~
Huhu~~Huhu~~”
And that heavy breathing sound came from the Buddha statue in front.
Chen Zhi did not turn on the searchlight, but used candlelight to shine forward.
The big Buddha still looks like that, but its belly is tightly closed, and there are no hidden compartments on the surface.
Chen Zhi walked forward step by step. He even stepped forward deliberately so that the people inside could hear his footsteps clearly.
And he was sure that the person inside heard his footsteps and his breathing became more rapid!
"Huh~~
Huhu~~
Huhu~~Huhu~~”
The man was so frightened that he almost suffocated.
Chen Zhi put his hand on the mechanism, and a gap suddenly appeared on the round belly of the golden Buddha. Then with a click, the secret door opened.
A face as pale as paper appeared in front of Chen Zhi.
When he saw Chen Zhi, he immediately screamed.
His scream was so miserable that it cut through the darkness like a bolt of lightning~~
When he saw this pale face, Chen Zhi's mind immediately went "boom~~", as if he had been hit hard by thunder.
He stood there in shock, looking at the familiar face in front of him in disbelief.
