Chapter 2 Darkness
"Ah... Haha, it's just a dead person. You, you can't scare me... Do you think this is a Resident Evil? No, it's all hallucinations. You're just an illusion, you can't deceive me..."
Zhou Qi's fingers trembled more frequently than his teeth. The moment he got the key, he rushed towards the prison door like crazy, and his mouth was filled with vague nonsense, as if only in this way could he move his almost stiff tongue.
This is a typical medieval style key, cold and heavy. The hand holding the key touched the darkness and depth outside the door for the first time through the gap between the iron gate of the prison door. His hand was fumbled in panic. The key kept bumping and jingling on the iron gate. Through the prison door, he could only judge the location of the keyhole based on his previous experience. Of course, this is actually very simple. If the keyhole is not on the left, it must be on the right.
"Finished! Found!" After muttering a little nervously, he trembled and inserted the key into the lock. He grabbed the key handle with his fingers, his eyes full of anticipation and turned to one side.
"Kata..." Like the sound of nature, in the hoarse and stubborn voice, the sound of the lock core opening and closing came.
With a "creak", Zhou Qi tried hard to open the heavy prison door. As soon as he stepped forward, he turned his head and looked at the corner behind him!
There, except for a pool of foul-smelling liquid on the ground, it was empty!
Zhou Qi instinctively let out a howl like a beast before he died, turned his head and ran away. The result of the instant activation was that his right foot tripped on the half-foot-high threshold. He staggered out and fell into the boundless darkness outside the door.
At this moment, he vaguely remembered that at the moment he turned his head, his nose seemed to convey a message to him, and a strong stench quickly passed by his side.
The ground seemed paved with irregular meadow, rough, wet and cold.
Zhou Qi used his hands and feet, regardless of the tingling pain from his palms and knees, and fled in panic. He vaguely heard the sound of dripping water in the corner of the wall, and the sound of an old tire dragging came from the passage behind him.
It's it! It's alive! It's caught up!
It seemed like an endless passage, surrounded by endless darkness. Zhou Qi didn't know how far he had run. If it were before that damn dataization, he would probably have collapsed on the ground at this moment. He could only run because the footsteps that seemed to be dragging in his ears were always lingering. It was not far behind him.
Zhou Qi tried hard to tear open his neckline and gasped greedily. Although he felt that his breathing was not that bad, he needed such breathing. It seemed that only his breathing sound could prove that he was still alive at this moment. Although this invisibly amplified his fear.
Suddenly, his feet lightened, and then he thumped, and he fell into the water. Zhou Qi struggled desperately with his limbs, filled with salty and fishy water, with the smell of rotten earth, poured into his mouth in big mouth.
When he thought he was about to drown, he stood up desperately.
Yes, I stood up, unable to tell whether it was fear or self-deprecating tears, bursting out from my eyes. The water seemed to have just passed his knee.
Zhou Qi kicked her feet angrily, causing the water surface to rust. He reached out to wipe the water stains on his face. The next moment, he was stunned.
A faint sky light was in the tunnel not far away in front of me.
He ran hard in the water. When his knees hit the cold wall, he estimated that the pool behind him was about ten meters square.
Zhou Qi was weak all over and climbed up to the edge of the pond with wetness. It felt so good to be down-to-earth again. He struggled to run to the place where the light was. Judging from the task he received, he instinctively realized that the light represented hope and life.
The light penetrated from a gap similar to a sewer vagina, from the ground where he was, to the entrance, about 20 meters. Fortunately, on the wall leading to the entrance, he saw an iron ladder close to the wall.
Zhou Qi was undoubtedly in pain and happiness at this moment. For the first time, the happiness brought by hope exceeded the fear that grew from darkness.
The rustling sound of the pool behind him suddenly stopped.
No! The sound of the pool behind you! Damn it!
Even if you go out, you will be like a sea of swords and fire. Zhou Qi climbed up the iron ladder without hesitation and climbed up hard.
It's approaching! Finally, it's approaching, and the light becomes dazzling! He seems to have touched the lead-gray sky at the end of the ladder.
At this moment, one hand grabbed his ankle tightly! It was like an iron hoop, firmly embedded in his flesh!
"No! You deserve it, let go!" Zhou Qi climbed up desperately, his hand was already on the edge of the well, feeling the cold wind, and the moment he raised his head, he could breathe the wet and cold air.
In the passage below "其," the echo of the bone friction with the iron ladder was so close to him.
"No! Go to die!" Zhou Qi roared loudly in his mouth, and his left leg, which was caught, struggled to step onto a staircase. His right foot used all his strength and kicked down desperately! The sound of "crack" cracks sounded, and at the same time, there was a hoarse and vague roar.
Finally, with a lighter body and with force on his arms, he drilled out of the ground from the narrow passage! A pounce came from the sewer below, and the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground.
"No. 5106 kills the wandering soul and obtains bloody point 20."
Zhou Qi was gasping heavily, and a mechanical female voice sounded in his ears.
"It turns out that this guy is called Youhun." However, when he thought of the prompt to get a blood point of 2,000 in the mission, the joy of escaping from death instantly left him.
At this time, he suddenly stood up and looked at the surrounding environment nervously under the dazzling light of the sky.
Under the desolate sky, he was in a medieval castle-style courtyard. He was facing two giant doors about 10 meters high. The gate was half open, just enough to accommodate a person to pass through. On the black ice mixed with mud, there were scattered piles of wreckage of buildings, and there were piles of dry brown marks attached to the wreckage. Zhou Qi was almost certain that it was the color of the blood stains.
Despite the weakening of pain, the biting cold wind still ruthlessly passed through his wet clothes, bringing him a deep cold.
This is the sky before snowing, making the whole space full of depression.
Zhou Qi kicked away his ankle in disgust and still grabbed half of his arm firmly. He spoke out a Chinese scolding with a slight elegance.
In the cold wind, he shivered and felt that he seemed to be much more energetic. His gradually calmed down also made him more careful about the surrounding environment.
The gate was the only exit. After two circles around the courtyard, Zhou Qi carefully touched the gap between the doors.
On the other side of the gate is a larger courtyard, about half the size of a football field. The castle-like building connects the corridors and houses, communicating countless secret passages and basements. A large area of open space is naturally formed in the corridors.
Obviously, the place in front of me is naturally not the gardens and martial arts venues of the ancient palace. Judging from the skylights with iron fences not far from the ground, as well as the tall and sharp walls on the surrounding buildings, this is more like a prison for prisoners! God knows which floor he is locked up on.
Zhou Qi walked forward carefully. The black ice under his feet did not completely cover the ground. He could clearly see the ground paved with rough squares of stone. He looked up and looked around. Just in front, just like behind him, were two huge iron gates, with the gate locked. On the surrounding corridors, there were two rust-covered gates on one left and the other on the right. One gate was half-closed, and the lower opening was filled with sharp pricks like a spearhead. A gap just passed by just one person was left. This seemed to be another only exit.
Zhou Qi slowly approached the gate and saw the darkness inside the gate. He shivered. The memory that impressed him half an hour ago once again surged in his body.
It was so fierce! With a loud "boom", it seemed like a tank fell to the ground from a height of 500 meters. The entire ground seemed to be moaning unbearable.
The strong tremor bounced Zhou Qi from the ground. Then his jaw hit hard on the cold ground. The violent impact made him dizzy for a moment.
Zhou Qi, who seemed to have the potential of a frightened bird, instinctively used the classic dodging skills after a brief dizziness and rolled on the spot. Perhaps several years later, he would sigh at the roll at that time.
Next was another "bang" sound, and the heavy metal and the collision sound of the ground were deafening. He only regained some hearing and was ravaged again. Several pieces of splashed gravel flew past like a blade, cutting a few bloody mouths on his face.
In the dust and smoke all over the ground, a giant axe, with the chaotic sparks, slashed hard at the place where he was standing just now! At the end of the axe handle, a mountain-like figure stood vaguely.
"Oh! No, what the hell is this!" Zhou Qi roared almost moaning.
"Roar!" With the thunderous roar, heavy and slow footsteps sounded. Walk out of the fog! He finally saw clearly what the mountain in front of him was!
Under the sharp horns on his forehead, blood-red eyes reflected the giant mouth covered with canine teeth. His body was 10 meters high, showing deformed bloatedness, and his dead gray skin was covered with sores. His thick limbs barely supported his body like a mountain. At the tail, a snake tail like a dragon, and a whip kept whipping the ground. In his hand, he was holding a strange-shaped battle axe the size of a door. Although it was far apart, Zhou Qi had already smelled the smell of moldy sulfur from his body and the huge mouth.
"Hehe! It's a demon, a demon!" Zhou Qi screamed in shock! Despite the prompts of the mission, he still recognized at a glance that the huge creature in front of him was a living demon!
The demon's blood-red eyes teased at the prey in front of him, revealing the inherent chaos and cruelty. His huge tail swung behind him, and it had already closed the door when Zhou Qi came. At the same time, accompanied by a harsh friction sound, Zhou Qi saw that the half-closed gate was closing!
If he had not escaped before the gate fell, the devil's rocky cracks of canine teeth had already revealed his fate soon.
"I'm fucking into the demon's kitchen!"
With almost no thought, Zhou Qi turned around and rushed towards the closed gate. Perhaps it was too scared, he was extremely calm and focused at this moment. All his strength seemed to be poured into his feet, a distance of 20 meters seemed to fly away from his feet in an instant. He had never felt that death was so close to him.
Sprint, jump out.
The gate fell, stirring up a piece of smoke and dust. Outside the gate, the demon's roar went from far to near. The demon's giant axe slashed hard on the gate. The loud noise of the collision of steel made the iron gate, a foot-thick iron gate moan unbearable.
"Warning, contractor number 5106 health is less than 50%, and it will be in medium injury"
In the darkness, Zhou Qi lay weakly on the ground, his eyes staring at the endless darkness in front of him. From time to time, the roar of demons came from behind him, telling him that he was still alive, but what was waiting for him in front?
