Chapter Fourteen: The Weird Night Traveler
Not long after we advanced, we saw a hole appeared on the top of the grotto. It was estimated that it could lead directly to the outside, but we didn’t know where the exit was. But I think it was not accessible to ordinary people, otherwise no one would have opened the passage under the coffin.
Connected here.
At this moment, Liu Qingping suddenly screamed and took a step back unconsciously. It turned out that there was a human-shaped black shadow with a clear outline at the end of our light ahead.
This time it was definitely not a stone sculpture, because the black shadow was still moving from time to time, although it was very slow, but it was indeed moving.
"What is it? Could it be a ghost?" Han Qiwei's eyes were straight and he looked a little nervous, and he spoke without any taboos. In this industry, that word is taboo, and you are not allowed to mention that word when you go to the ground with you, but this opportunity
We have almost destroyed it. When I was with Fat Monkey, I always talked about ghosts and monsters, but now I don’t feel anything about it anymore.
When I see something moving in a place like this, I can't help but think about it. I'm a little nervous, but there are so many people here, so I don't feel scared at all. I took the lead and walked forward, and the black shadow got closer and closer.
The outline becomes clearer, and it does look like a person.
But just when we were still about twenty meters away from the black shadow, the black shadow suddenly made a movement, as if it was wrapping something on its body. In an instant, the shadow suddenly distorted, changing from its original human form to a human form.
Weird shape.
Only then did I realize that it seemed to be a big bird. It spread its wings and flew up, then hung upside down on the top of the grotto, crawling back and forth like that from time to time.
Everyone was a little horrified, it seemed unreal. At this time, Shuiyue suddenly patted my shoulder and motioned for us to lie down on the ground.
Seeing that her face looked a little ugly, I lay down on the ground without asking any questions, and the others followed me. The big bird moved again, grabbing the roof of the cave with its claws and slowly moving towards us. Very quickly
We can almost see what it looks like, and it looks like an owl, but it's too big. Its eyes are slightly emitting a green light, which is caused by the reflection of the light, but it looks particularly chilling.
Especially her eyes, which seemed to have a kind of cruelty and incomparable malice, as if she hated everything, which made me feel chilly from the bottom of my heart.
How could an owl have such emotions? It's so humane, and it's this humanity that makes it feel weird.
Everyone was too embarrassed to tell the joke, who knew what it was and whether it could eat people, etc. No one did not cherish their own lives.
Soon the owl climbed right above us. At this time, it stopped, hooked its hands on the rocks above, and moved its head from time to time, as if observing what was going on below.
"Pa!" Shuiyue turned off the flashlight, and I followed suit. The others followed suit, and soon the cave was pitch black and nothing could be seen. I could only hear slight movements from above and the crowd.
Heavy breathing.
I suddenly felt that there was something standing next to me. I couldn't see it with my eyes or hear it with my ears. It was just a feeling, but it was extremely real. I could even feel that there was a pair of vicious eyes staring closely at me.
my back.
The pressure in my heart suddenly increased. Although I was not attacked, I slowly broke out in a sweat. This feeling of quietly waiting for "judgment" in the dark was very bad. But I didn't dare to do anything yet. Keep yourself as calm as possible, for fear that the smallest movement will bring disaster.
The dull and depressing atmosphere lasted for a long time, until people's senses became blurred from the initial clarity. In the end, I even doubted whether I was the only one left around.
There was another crisp "pop" sound, and the surrounding area became bright again. It was Shuiyue who turned on the light again. I hurriedly looked towards the top of the cave. The huge owl had disappeared, and its traces were also lost around me. Everyone turned on Guangming got up from where he was, and sat on the ground like they were exhausted, breathing heavily.
"What kind of bird was that just now? How could it be so big?" Liu Qingping stood up and looked around with his eyes. The others were similar to him, especially the two women Guo Yingying and Song Meiting, whose little faces were frightened. They were so pale, I guess they were regretting staying.
But at this time, Shuiyue said something even more terrifying. Her first words were: "That's not a bird, that's a human."
"Brothers and sisters, you are not mistaken, that is obviously a bird, at best it is bigger. We have all seen this, how can we say it is a human being?" Liu Qingping exclaimed.
"Yes, it is indeed a bird, but it was transformed by humans." Shuiyue talked softly, and finally I understood what it was.
It turns out that it is the "Night Wandering God" that Shuiyue mentioned before. It has another name, called "Night Wandering Girl". It is said that it was transformed from a dead woman, and she was also pregnant. No one knows how it was formed. You know, it is a very evil and weird thing. It is covered with a kind of black "skin", and it will turn into a big bird like an owl. After taking off that layer of skin, it will turn into a woman. Because of the child in the belly It dies before being born, so it is very obsessed with children and often steals other people's children. This may be due to an obsession, so this thing is not a ghost but is more terrifying than a ghost.
I suddenly understood that the lost children in the village were all stolen by this kind of thing. The big flying bird that the villagers saw before and the floating and walking black shadow that Liu Xiaoyang saw were all from this night wandering girl. , it turns out that it is the culprit.
Then who became it? Zhao Yulian? It is possible that there is no body of Zhao Yulian in the coffin, and the dead children are hidden there, which makes people have to think so.
"Damn it, is there such a evil thing in this world? Uncle, I feel a little regretful. If I had known earlier, we shouldn't have come down. As soon as I saw that big guy, my legs started to tremble. I almost scared the shit out of my uncle just now. come out."
"Then if you want to go back now, it's still too late." I said to him.
"Forget it, we've already come here. Besides, if that thing runs behind and waits, wouldn't it be self-defeating if I go back alone? I won't do such stupid things, sir."
"Then do you think we should move forward?" I asked him with a smile.
Liu Qingping rolled his eyes, and then nodded heavily: "Of course we have to move forward. I think this place should hide a huge secret. If we reveal this secret, maybe we can become famous in one fell swoop!"
I couldn't help laughing. I guess this guy was still thinking about whether there was an ancient tomb here and whether there were any treasures in it. He was like a bear like Fatty, but Fatty was naked and unabashed.
, he also knew how to make small turns, but I think everyone should have heard the meaning of his words. Everyone's eyes flickered. Although they did not say it out loud, the desire was faintly revealed.
I can't help but feel a little worried. It's best if there are no ancient tombs here, otherwise people's nature will change under the influence of greed. This is a very bad phenomenon.
We regained our composure and continued walking forward. This grotto is really long. I estimate that we walked for more than an hour, but we still haven't reached the end. Even when I was getting a little impatient, a different scenery finally appeared in front of me, and the lights passed by.
Everything turned into nothingness, and I knew it was over.
Unexpectedly, the end of the grotto turned out to be a rocky place. We saw the night sky again, and the surrounding area was empty. This is a place surrounded by mountains. It does not look like a valley, but more like a mountain col formed by several peaks put together.
, there should be entrances elsewhere, but the ground is still very flat, just with some more strange rocks.
These stones should have rolled down from the mountain, and there is no pattern. You can see accumulated water in the low-lying area in the middle, forming a stream that is neither wide nor deep. In some places, the rocks are crowded together to form an isolation zone.
At that time, we could only climb over. We didn’t know how far the road ahead was, and there was nothing worth paying attention to around us, so we could only keep moving forward.
"There's something wrong with this place." Yang Yun suddenly said. I looked at him, and his face was full of suspicion. His eyes kept scanning around, and his expression was a little serious.
This person is very scheming and doesn't show any problems at all. But the more he is like this, the more people will take his words seriously. The things that can make him vigilant must also be serious issues.
He pointed around and said softly: "This place seems to have been formed for a long time. Why is there no plant around it? The water quality of this creek is clear, but there is not even a single fish or shrimp. It is like a restricted area for life.
.”
This is indeed a problem. Since we came out of the grotto, we have encountered nothing but stones, no birds, insects, ants, animals, and no flowers, grass, or trees. It can be said that except for the living people like us, there are no traces of any life.
But what is wrong? No one can tell. Everything around here looks normal, unless this is a mining area, and it is also a mining area for substances harmful to life.
"There shouldn't be any secret nuclear factory here, right?" Liu Qingping said suddenly.
I rolled my eyes at him. This guy's thinking jumped too much. Just now he said there might be an ancient tomb here, and now it's about a nuclear plant. I wonder if he will say that we have reached the moon if we continue.
superior.
I saw Shuiyue squatting in front of a rock, with lights focused in front of him, as if he was carefully identifying something. As soon as I walked over, I heard Shuiyue say: "Someone walked here, not long ago." She pointed to the rock.
