Haunted Places Live

The author has something to say: some important details of this chapter and the previous chapter have been modified, and Indian crystal pendants have been added.

Walking on the sleeping Shoggoth is as difficult as practicing light kung fu.I couldn't use my strength to step down, and they staggered, rolling and crawling one by one.They managed to find a piece of ground not yet covered by the body of the Shoggoth on the edge of the Shoggoth and the passage, and quickly slid down from between the soft, sticky black substance and the eyeballs, and the feeling of stepping on the solid ground was very strong. beautiful outside.

It's just that the arrows pointed at them in the next few moments and the bone battle ax that may be thrown over at any time slightly spoiled the feeling of relaxation.

In fact, Lynch could show off his star power at any time, but he didn't want to hurt the lives of these Indians unless it was a critical moment.After all, they simply want to avenge their lost land and homeland.

What's more, the Presbyterian Church also strictly prohibits the use of stigmata to take the lives of uninfected observers below the third level in the original reality when their lives are not absolutely threatened.At least the current rules of the club are still following the rules that have existed for hundreds of years.He is also not sure what will happen if the radicals take power.

In addition, if the opportunity permits, he also wants to know what the ancients left here.After all, even if Shoggoth is asleep now, his mobile phone still cannot get in touch with the outside world.This shows that apart from the Shoggoths, there is something else that can isolate them from the worldwide network of the Council of Elders.

And the crystals hanging around the necks of those Indians also made him a little concerned.If this thing can make them immune to their singing, it will be an extremely terrible weapon. . .If it is obtained by radicals. . .

Chu Yang followed behind Lin Qi, while those Awaniche people followed behind Chu Yang.There are a lot of light brown slime left by the Shoggoths on the ground, but through the translucent liquid, one can vaguely see that the worn and corroded ground is perfectly spliced ​​by exquisite geometric shapes, almost With a bit of postmodernism.In the light of the flashlight, it can be seen that the smooth wall is also covered with some strange connections of points and lines, some of which are like a map of the starry sky, but neither Lynch nor Chu Yang recognizes the constellations drawn on it, as if It is not the starry sky observed from the earth, but the starry sky observed on a planet with advanced civilization in another distant galaxy.

This passage was so long that it seemed to never end, until the huge body of Shoggoth had come to an end, but the passage continued.Chu Yang suspected that they had entered a deep underground, and the air around them gradually became damp and stuffy, and the smell of the tomb became stronger and stronger.

Then, two forks appeared on both sides of the passage.Three passages that looked equally tall and spacious were in front of them.

Chu Yang felt the huge underground space, and a sense of fear of emptiness and darkness pervaded faintly, so he asked Lynch in a low voice, "How much power is there in the flashlight? Do we have spare batteries?"

Lynch shook his head, "I lost it during the earthquake just now."

At this time, the young Awanich interpreter spoke, pointing to the left road, "Go here."

Lynch thought that if he was looking for crystals, the lack of light would indeed be a problem.So he raised the flashlight, pointed to the light source, and waved his hand, "It's almost out of power. It's not safe."

The young man turned around and translated a sentence, but obviously the leader did not intend to give up, nor did he intend to waste time going back to find an alternative light source, and still pointed to the left road with the tip of the arrow stubbornly.

Chu Yang and Lin Qi had no choice but to move on.

But this passage did not last long, and the light was thrown into a vast and dark void.Lynch stopped vigilantly, and made a stop gesture backwards.Chu Yang approached him, but saw Lynch shining the flashlight on the ground, moving forward little by little, until suddenly the floor disappeared, replaced by a steep and winding slope, deeply engraved on the steep cliff.The hollow wind blows on the face, the light source is too dim, and the whole picture cannot be seen clearly, but anyone who stands in front of the abyss will know that it is a magnificent and huge space.The light of the flashlight can only vaguely find the outline of the roof of a similar building, but nothing can be seen clearly.

Perhaps this is the underground city.

Such a deep underground, such a vast space.People can't help thinking, in the long time counted by thousands of years, is this lost city really purely frozen and dead?

Seeing the slopes, the Awaniche motioned for the two to go down first.At this time, Chu Yang felt a strong sense of resistance. The darkness in front of him gave him a feeling of being too empty, and the unknown emptiness stared at him maliciously, which made him worry that if the flashlight really ran out of power, They will fall into complete darkness in this strange and ancient dungeon.

Who knows what might be hiding in that darkness?

"Lin Qi..." Chu Yang called nervously.He didn't continue talking, but Lynch seemed to understand his worry, and gently squeezed his palm.

"If I let out the starlight, we can go out now... but it will inevitably hurt people's lives. And I suspect that there may be some other things here besides Shoggoth. And the neck of these Indians There is also a problem with the pendant, I don't know where it came from... Maybe they know something, so they have to come in." Lynch whispered, "Persevere, when we get down, the darkness may become our weapon."

Chu Yang nodded hesitantly. Although he was very ignorant, Lynch should have something to worry about.He told himself that it was just anxiety caused by Sanity's instability and that he should be brave.

Down the slope that is too steep for ordinary people, there are many pipe-like things beside the road along the way.They descended about 200 meters, and the stairs stopped. About 200 meters away in front of them, a huge arched door was faintly visible. Although it was old, the lines were very smooth and simple.The foot of the arched door spread smoothly to both sides, forming a wall about [-] meters high.

A group of people approached the huge door that could only be seen by looking up. The closer they got, the more they felt a kind of unfathomable coldness.The thick walls are covered with fossils of shellfish, molluscs, seaweed and corals, and other marine organisms. The rocks also have traces of being washed by sea water. It is presumably because this mountain has not yet been uplifted by plate compression 1000 million years ago. Still sinking under the sea's sake.

Thinking of the last time there were "people" here, they were still soaked in the heavy sea water, but now they are far away from the sea, buried deep in the mountains and the earth, that kind of empty and unfathomable sense of heaviness and oppression It filled Chu Yang's heart again.Just like the feeling that arose in his heart when he wrote the song performed by Lynch.

The Awanichi people behind him also obviously saw these huge creations whose size far exceeds that of human buildings for the first time, and they kept sighing in awe and awe.Some people even knelt down directly in front of the gate, tears streaming from their eyes.

The leader of Awaniche was obviously also very excited, but he still held the bow and arrow vigilantly, urging Lynch and Chu Yang to move on.There seemed to be a vast square behind the gate. Their flashlights disappeared into the darkness. For a while, nothing could be seen except the flat but dust-covered ground spliced ​​with similar geometric floor tiles.After about 300 meters, they climbed up a steep slope again, and finally saw the outline of the building.

The shapes and angles of those buildings, columns, corridors and towers were all wrong.Some buildings look so crumbling, as if they couldn't stand on the ground.There are also some roads that look like those surreal paintings that break through the dimension of space. Just looking at it makes me feel dizzy and unsure of my bearings.They passed between the huge, tomb-like silent and dusty buildings, like a pair of ants in a procession.Along the way, I saw many traces of being destroyed and damaged.Some towers were cut off at the middle, huge rubble was scattered everywhere, and some colonnades crossed the road, blocking their way like a ridge, so they could only go around.

The Awaniche snatched the flashlight from Lynch's hand and tried to enter some buildings with closed doors, but it was obviously impossible to push such a heavy door with human strength.

Seeing the translator standing outside, Chu Yang seemed a little shivering, so he quietly asked, "Why did you come down?"

The young man glanced at him and didn't speak at first. Just when Chu Yang suspected that the other party didn't understand and wanted to repeat, the young man said, "Treasures...weapons...the god of betrayal has blocked the way. Not coming."

Chu Yang frowned. Does the god of betrayal refer to Shoggoth?

What is the weapon?What weapons are there in this underground city that should have been deserted for so long?How did they know?

The bad premonition became stronger, he walked back to Lynch, and said in a low voice, "Let's get out of here as soon as possible... I feel very bad."

Although Lynch wanted to go further into the city to find a possible crystal storage place, but looking at Chu Yang's expression, he began to worry that his Sanity would further decline.He hesitated a little, glanced at the two Awannitch men who were still staring at them fiercely, and nodded with determination, "Well, when my flashlight suddenly goes out, all of them will panic. By then When you follow me, we take the opportunity to escape."

As for the crystal, there should be a chance to come down and look for it in the future.

"It's pitch black, can we escape?" Chu Yang asked quietly.

"You will be surprised how other senses can help you when you can't see." Lynch said softly, and then suddenly smiled bitterly, "I originally wanted to take you on vacation, but it turned out to be like this."

Chu Yang felt a slight lump in his throat, lowered his eyes guiltily, and said in a daze, "It's my fault, I will cause trouble wherever I go. Maybe I should be like that Professor Jiang, stay in one place and never go out."

"Tsk, why are you here again. It's okay, don't introspect all the time, sometimes you live a little shamelessly, and you will find that life is much easier. Just like me." Lynch grinned at him and pointed his thumb Pointing to himself, with a proud face, "If you want to blame, don't blame yourself, everything is on my head, and I will help you."

Chu Yang laughed silently, and shook his head, "Crazy, do you want to be a blame man?"

Just as he was talking, he heard an exclamation from the Awaniche. It turned out that the flashlight suddenly flickered like a bad connection.The leader patted the flashlight vigorously, and the light stabilized again.

"The battery is about to run out. I calculated that it will take about 10 minutes before this happens." Lynch said softly next to Chu Yang's ear with a somewhat harsh voice, "For a while, hold me hands."

When the Awaniche turned to the next inverted trapezoidal building and started using an ax to destroy the entrance that looked weaker than the previous stone door, the flashlight flickered a few times and went out completely.At this moment, Chu Yang felt Lin Qi throwing him down, and he felt a gust of wind flying past his ears, followed by the exclamation of those Awaniche people.Chu Yang realized that the wind might be the panic of the Awaniche soldiers who suddenly fell into the darkness, and the hand that was holding the arrow pointing at them loosened.

If Lynch hadn't anticipated this possibility in advance, I'm afraid the arrow would be stuck in his head now.Chu Yang's heart was beating wildly, but he felt Lin Qi's hand tightly grasping his hand, pulling him up, and running towards a certain direction in the darkness.Suddenly lost the only light source, the darkness immediately engulfed everything mercilessly, this was the first time he was in such extreme darkness, without even the slightest glimmer of light, even if he opened his eyes, he couldn't see anything, as if he had gone blind generally.He staggered and followed Lynch's footsteps, he didn't even know how Lynch could judge the direction in such darkness.

The sound of arrows being shot continued to sound, but it was obviously out of order.Chu Yang could feel the wind passing by occasionally, but they didn't stop a step.They even heard the cries of pain from the Awanich people, obviously attacking and hurting their own people indiscriminately in the dark.

Lynch tugged at him hard, seeming to turn him in a different direction.The cries of the Indians grew farther and farther away from them, but the heavy silence grew thicker.He could hear his rapid breathing and even his own heartbeat.Unaccustomed to such absolute darkness, his brain began to create some distorted and strange colors in front of his eyes, and he didn't know if it was an illusion. He felt as if he could sense the surrounding environment.

Not seeing with the eyes, but a subtle sense, as if the senses are extending, touching everything around.He remembered that he had a similar feeling in the days when he just received the stigmata.

This feeling relieved him a little of the bewilderment of losing his eyesight, and finally gave him the energy to adjust his breathing.He felt that Lynch pulled him into a place like an "alley", with tall and heavy buildings crowded towards them on both sides.It wasn't until the depths of the alleyway that Lynch slowed down, and the two of them stopped and bent over to pant.Chu Yang pricked up his ears to listen to the voices of the Indians that were still audible in the distance, and the touch of Lynch's leather glove on his hands reassured him a little.

But in the next moment, a sense of tension suddenly caught him again.He remembered that when he fell from the ground just now, he held a hand, but later found that that hand was not Lynch's...

So is this hand Lynch's now?

The hairs all over his body stood on end at the thought that he might be running in the dark with an unknown hand.

"Lin Qi?" Chu Yang asked in a tentative voice with his heart hanging in his throat.

No echo.

Chu Yang immediately trembled all over.He immediately wanted to get rid of the "hand" that was holding him tightly, but he didn't expect that the "hand" was gripping his wrist with increasing force, even enough to bruise.He struggled hard, but felt that the hand gradually changed its shape, became soft and sticky, somewhat like the touch of a snail, and dragged him in a certain direction brutally.

"Lynch!!! Lynch!!!" Chu Yang shouted for help, but soon his mouth was blocked by another thing that exuded a fishy smell, and he could only make a whining sound.Both his wrists were firmly grasped, and he was dragged quickly, his body rubbed against the rough ground, and his back was burning with pain.He heard Lynch calling him from a distance, and he wanted to respond, but he couldn't make a sound.

The fear of being devoured by unknown creatures in the darkness confuses him.He thought about whether he should risk releasing the filthy twins in his chest to save his life, but just as he thought about it, he felt some sharp needles pricking his cervical spine.Under the severe pain, his body was suddenly paralyzed, and his mind quickly fell into an uncontrollable state of emptiness, unable to concentrate.

He was quickly dragged up a slope and disappeared through an open door.
