"Okay!" Feng Li nodded in agreement, then looked back at the frightened people behind him and asked, "Should you stay first or follow us?"
Meng Fan immediately stood up and said, "If we don't want to stay, let's leave first."
The remaining three young people also nodded quickly, indicating that they would set off with us. Looking at their eager expressions, I smiled bitterly in my heart. The situation is unknown now, and the first group of people going downstairs are actually more dangerous.
However, they have already taken the initiative, so I don’t want to pour cold water on them. I just told the four of them to keep up and not fall behind at all.
Mr. Liu took out the chicken blood thread from his arms again, handed it to me, and asked me to hold it while I went downstairs. If there was any danger, I would pull the rope immediately, and he and Zhou Kun would rush to the rescue immediately.
I nodded, tied the red thread around my wrist, took the flashlight in my other hand, pointed it at the dark corridor, and was the first to walk into the stairs.
This stairway is very long and narrow, pitch black and opaque. Even under the illumination of a flashlight, it still looks eerie.
Not long after walking, I felt the wind blowing in the stairs. The cold wind penetrated from the trouser legs and reached the chrysanthemums, making people sway unconsciously. This flow of wind also made Feng Li and I become cautious and continue walking.
After a while, Feng Li suddenly stopped and said to me, no, look at the fog downstairs.
Sure enough, when I looked back, I found that in the dark space below the corridor, for some reason, there were layers of thick white fog. It was very light at first, but as time went by, it became more and more obvious, as if it was beating.
The waves of the sea reef rolled crazily and came towards us.
"What should I do?" I had never seen such a strange situation. I was suddenly frightened and turned to look at Feng Li.
Feng Li frowned and didn't answer. The thick fog was getting deeper and deeper, rolling crazily in the narrow and dark passage, like an endless abyss of hell. There was a faint, shrill sound deep in the thick fog.
The ghost cries were heard. It was very faint at first, just a faint sound. Later, it turned into endless ghost cries, stumbling back and forth in the narrow passage.
This strange situation made people feel horrified, and a chill spread from the tailbone to the Tianling Cap.
Xiao Lan, Meng Fan and others were trembling with fear, and there was a sound of chattering teeth, gurgle... which added a bit of horror to this weird environment.
In the silent closed space, there was no sound everywhere, no one spoke, except for the sound of a few people's teeth chattering, the only sound left was our breathing. I felt something was wrong, so I hurriedly pulled the red rope on my wrist, intending to call Lou.
The people on top came down to think of a solution.
As a result, when I pulled it, I felt that the red thread was light and fluffy, with no force at all. I felt anxious and pulled the red thread sharply, and the broken thread immediately jumped out in front of me.
Oops, why is this red line broken?
I looked at the torn red thread with a look of astonishment on my face. Feng Li was also surprised. He hurriedly picked up the thread, looked at the torn marks on it, and said in a deep voice, "It was bitten by someone's teeth.
"
Hearing this, I immediately turned around and looked at the four people behind me. The four of them were already crowded together like chickens in fear. They were all trembling, but their expressions were normal. Feng Li patted me on the shoulder and said, stop looking.
It wasn't these four people who did it.
I was shocked. If they hadn’t broken the red line, who could it be? It couldn’t be Mr. Liu himself, could it? Feng Li was silent, lowered his head, looking at the strange staircase filled with endless ghost cries, his face as dark as ink.
, "Let's go and talk about it when we get back!"
I nodded vigorously, waved hurriedly, and asked the four people behind me to go back first. They were so frightened that they turned around and ran up when they saw my gesture. But not long after I ran upstairs, I heard Xiaolan exclaiming,
"Ah... the person is missing!"
"Who's missing?" Feng Li and I looked at each other, quickened our pace, and hurriedly squeezed through the people in front of us, only to find that Mr. Liu and Zhou Kun, who were supposed to stay upstairs to meet us, had disappeared.
"Where have they gone?" My heart skipped a beat, and I couldn't help but be extremely vigilant. I was about to look around for traces of them, but Feng Li touched my arm, pointed forward, and said in a deep voice, "No, we seem to be on the third floor."
!
This statement made me inexplicably frightened. It was impossible. We were obviously walking down the stairs, but how could we suddenly jump a floor and reach the third floor?
Feng Li said if you don’t believe it, just see it for yourself!
As he said that, he pointed forward, and I responded and went to look. Sure enough... the corpse that had been drained of blood was lying in the corridor. If I remember correctly, this corpse was on the third floor.
But this is wrong...
I said with shame, "We obviously started from the second floor and walked down to the first floor. Why did we turn around and go directly to the third floor? Where did we go to the second floor?"
Feng Li's face was also not very good-looking. He swallowed and took off the mold, saying he didn't know, but now it seems that there seems to be some kind of space magic circle in these stairs, which has disturbed our judgment of the environment.
When he said this, I became even more nervous. Meng Fan and the others also noticed something was wrong, and they all swarmed up and asked us in tears what should we do?
I didn't answer. I squinted my eyes and thought for a long time. Then I suddenly slapped my forehead and said to Feng Li, "If the problem really occurs on the stairs, then wouldn't it be enough if we don't take the stairs?"
"What do you mean, just jump down?" Feng Li looked at me in surprise, and I pointed to the stone pillars at the end of the corridor and said that's not necessary. These stone pillars are connected to the first floor. We only need to climb down along the stone pillars.
.
After saying that, I took the lead towards the stone pillar at the edge of the corridor, pressed my hand on the relief on the surface of the stone pillar, tested it out, and thought I could try it, so I turned around and said to the four guys behind me, "Do me a favor and put your
Take off your shirt."
Seeing them all looking at me in confusion, I coughed and explained, "We can't walk up the stairs. We have to find another way. You take off your shirts, twist out a rope, and go down along the stone pillars."
Meng Fan swallowed his saliva, his face was full of beating muscles and nerve lines, "Is this possible?" Several colleagues next to him were also hesitant and did not take action.
Even if I say no, you have to, unless you plan to go back to the stairs just now.
"I'll do it first!" Unexpectedly, the first person to respond to me was Xiaolan, the only woman in the team. She took off her top and jacket, revealing the knitted sweater underneath, and asked me if it was enough?
I quickly said enough is enough. It's cold weather and the clothes on everyone's body are very thick. One or two pieces per person should be enough to hang down to the first floor.
In this way, I gathered everyone's tops and twisted them into a simple rope. Then I fixed one end of the rope and asked them who would come up first.
The person who responded to me this time was a man named Zhou Chao. He quickly stepped forward and put the rope around his waist. He looked at me again and said in a trembling voice, "Brother, you must hold on."
