The doorway to the stairwell on the first floor was short and narrow, and I had to bend my body to get in.
When I first entered the stairwell, the smell of dead rats hit my nostrils. I looked down on the ground with a chill on my face and found many dead rats lying here.
The corpses of these dead mice are very strange. They don't look like they died naturally. They look like they were swallowed by a snake and then spit out by the snake.
I could see the rotting flesh on the dead rat carcasses. It was so disgusting that I almost vomited the food in my stomach.
After kicking away some dead rat carcasses, I hurriedly looked for the painting.
In fact, the stairwell is not big, just a small corner. I found it without any effort.
This is a very strange painting. It hangs quietly on the wall in the corner, but no matter which direction you look at it, it always appears in the middle of your field of vision, as if it compresses your field of vision.
When I looked at this painting, I felt creepy, as if I was looking at a painting made by a ghost.
This painting depicts a female snake. This female snake is very old, with gray and sparse hair. There are only two tusks left in her mouth. However, these two tusks are very sharp. They line up straight from the bottom of the gums to the top.
The upper row of gums is like two long nails embedded in the mouth.
In the painting, the snake woman's whole body is wrapped in snake scales, only a pair of narrow eyes are exposed. I looked into her eyes, and she was also looking at me, which made me feel terrified.
There are many holes in the painting around the snake woman, as if the painting has been bitten by snakes, and there are some bloody fingerprints on some of the paintings. It is not known whether they were pressed in by people or painted on.
"The woman said that the secret passage leading to the underground is behind the painting." I touched my chin and thought for a while, then put my hands on the edge of the frame and prepared to take the painting off.
But when I put my hands against the frame, my palms felt hot, and the frame actually stuck to my hands with a sticky feeling!
"It's really weird." I shook my hands, but not only was the frame not thrown away, but a pair of bloody hands stretched out from the painting, trying to grab my wrist.
I was so anxious that I tried my best to throw it away, but the frame finally fell to the ground with a clang.
I took two steps back and looked at the ground. The painting was quietly abandoned on the ground. There were no bloody hands on it at all.
"Is it an illusion?" I stretched my brows and looked at the wall where the snake painting was originally hung.
Without the cover of the snake painting, a small square hole appeared on the wall.
"Is this the secret passage that leads underground? Is it too small?" This hole is so small that if you want to go in, you can only stretch your legs in first.
I approached the hole and looked inside. It was so dark inside that I had no idea what was there.
Looking at the dark area inside, I hesitated to go in. After all, the flashlight was out of battery. Just when I was hesitating, I remembered that there was a mobile phone in the black backpack.
I turned on the flashlight that came with my phone and shined it at the small hole.
The darkness in the cave is split by the light source, and a cabinet-shaped elevator room is visible.
"There is actually an elevator inside? But this elevator is a bit weird. The iron walls around it are blood red, like a corpse elevator." I was a little reluctant to enter the elevator. If something unexpected happened in the elevator, I would have no way out.
And I have severe claustrophobia. When I am in a closed space for a long time, I will have hallucinations and auditory hallucinations.
This narrow elevator room is the perfect place for me to get sick. I usually feel scared whenever I see an elevator.
The reason why I chose Snake Tower to live in was because it didn't have an elevator.
"The most critical point of the mission is underground, but if you don't enter the elevator, you can't go underground, and you can't complete the mission. No matter what, you will die. You have to fight." In order to complete the mission, I could only grit my teeth and persevere.
I did not choose to put my legs in first, but I chose to put my head in first, so that I could pay attention to every move in the elevator. If I put my legs in first, what if something forcefully drags me in?
But obviously I was overthinking it, as there was no accident when I entered the elevator.
The only surprise was that when I stood in the elevator, the elevator light above my head actually turned on.
Moreover, the light was blood red, and it shone on me, making me feel like I was bathing in a sea of blood.
After entering the elevator room, I saw details that were invisible outside the cave. The elevator wall was not only blood red, but also had a humanoid drawing painted on it. These humanoid drawings seemed to be the passengers of the elevator. They only had one-touch eyes.
His eyes kept staring at me, staring into the depths of my heart.
The elevator fell automatically, yes, it didn't slide down slowly, it fell, falling quickly like a wild horse that had escaped the reins!
As the elevator fell, the blood-red light flickered on and off. I was really afraid that the next time the light flashed, I would see someone else next to me.
The elevator fell for a very long time, just like there is no bottom in the ground. I wonder if you have ever experienced the feeling of falling from an elevator. The moment you fall, you will feel frightened. Your heartbeat will jump to the highest level within a second. I am now
This feeling.
But because the elevator didn't fall to the ground for a long time, the panic in my heart accumulated more and more, and it was about to burst my heart.
My claustrophobia started to attack, but I didn't dare to hold on to the blood-red elevator walls. I could only close my eyes and feel the feeling of the elevator falling.
Suddenly, I felt very cold on my neck, as if someone was strangling my neck. My breathing began to become difficult. I tried to open those hands, but the strength of those hands became stronger and stronger, and I couldn't break free at all.
.
"Go away!" I howled.
"Boom!"
The elevator fell to the ground, a huge shock hit my body, and I suddenly opened my eyes.
The elevator has stopped, the elevator lights have returned to stability and no longer flicker, and the elevator door in front of you opens automatically.
There was a blood-red drizzle outside the elevator door, but I didn't act rashly.
I checked my body first and found that my body was fine.
"How could it be? The longer the elevator fell, the greater the accumulated ground force would be, enough to shatter my body, but I was fine."
I muttered to myself, then shined the flashlight of my phone outside, and saw snakes crawling outside the elevator door.
Moreover, these snakes were not alive. Their snake bodies were all bloody and bloody. I even saw snake tendons in their flesh, but they just went against common sense, squirming and staring at me with their faint snake eyes.
Sensing the light source, these corpse snakes crawled towards the elevator one after another. I panicked and quickly turned off the flashlight on my phone, but they still crawled towards me in groups.
Yes! The elevator light was still on! I hurriedly took out the kitchen knife from my bag and chopped it on the light bulb.
The elevator lights went out instantly, leaving the elevator in darkness.
Without the light source, the corpse snakes lost their target and turned into dead objects lying on the ground.
"It turns out that light attracts them." I breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the kitchen knife in my hand in silence.
When I saw the woman lying in a pool of blood, I put the kitchen knife away to avoid her suspicion.
Now in order to chop the bulb, I took it out again.
