Chapter 15: The Cave
Although Zhao Long uttered these words, he was also slow to take a step. After all, anyone would think that there would definitely be something terrifying present inside.
"Well ……," Feng Yu, on the other hand, subconsciously took a step back, refusing to be the first to go in no matter what.
As for Ge Qi, he let out a bitter smile and said, "Is this …… really, really going to go in ……?"
Zhao Long could no longer hold back and said, "Fine! I'll be the first to go in! You guys follow me in!"
Feng Yu saw that Zhao Long had really moved, so he could only say, "Fine, fine! I know! I'll go in first!"
Feng Yu was truly afraid of offending Zhao Long completely, in case he saw what the way of life was but didn't tell himself, that would be too scary. Not being able to find the way to life and purely trying to rely on luck to survive until the end, it wasn't that it was absolutely impossible, but the probability was really low. You know, there's a drive back at the end of Bloodletter! The closer you get to the apartment, the weaker the restrictions on "those things" become! Entering the apartment will naturally clear the curse, but it's not unheard of for people to die in front of the apartment before they can get in!
Feng Yu stepped into the door, he bit his lips tightly, looking around, praying that he would not be the first target, praying that only the 4th floor is really dangerous, and the 5th floor is safe. ……
"Don't block the doorway, go in!" Zhao Long pushed Feng Yu from behind and walked in. Then, there was Zhao Long, Dong Xie and Dong Ning.
Dong Xie always grabbed Dong Ning's hand and whispered, "Listen …… don't act rashly in the future. You scared me to death just now."
"Staying at the door like this all the time? Can't count on those people, brother."
"A Ning …… has dangerous things, I will help you do just that."
Dong Xie was not some sage who sacrificed himself for others, but the only person he cared about the most in this world was his younger sister Dong Ning. He was not willing to let anything happen to his sister no matter what.
"Brother ……" Dong Ning gazed towards Dong Qi, her gaze incomparably firm: "Your life is as precious as mine. I must leave this damned apartment with you!"
Dong Xie listened to his sister's words, and a trace of warmth came over him.
After walking into the room, he kept looking around, noting if there was even an extremely small unnaturalness.
As Dong Xie read the bloodstained records and some insightful notes left behind by previous residents, he most admired Li Yin, who had left the apartment eight years ago! The reason why this man had survived to the end was because of his subtle observations and his ability to break through blind spots in his thinking. Some of the notes he left behind mentioned that the way to survive a bloodletter mission was to be aware of all the unnatural aspects and to avoid preconceptions into the blind spots of thinking. Many of the occupants of the Bloodletter Quest had fallen into traps because of their thinking and ended up stepping into death!
"The door here happens to be open …… Could it be by chance, or is it giving us some hints?"
Dong Qi saw that there was another door on the side, so he slowly approached that door.
"Give me your selfie stick, Ning."
"Oh …… good."
Dong Ning handed the selfie stick to Dong Qi. She knew that she couldn't argue with her brother, who was a person whose character was just very cognizant of death, and couldn't be pulled back by nine oxen when he had decided something. No matter what Dong Ning said, Dong Xie wanted to keep himself as far away from danger as possible.
The selfie stick pushed open the door of the room …… because Ge Qi, who was holding the lighter, did not come around here, so he could not see clearly what was inside the door of the room.
Dong Qi immediately pulled Dong Ning and began to take a few steps back.
"Here …… let s take a look?"
Ge Qi looked back at the door that had been pushed open by Dong Xie, so he began to take a step.
"You go in first." Ge Qi looked at the door of the room in front of him or his scalp was numb, and urged Dong Xie to walk in as a pathfinder.
"You're letting us go in first?" Dong Ning's eyes were even more disgruntled, "You're not going in first?"
"Well ……" Ge Qi also felt a little embarrassed, so he didn't answer Dong Ning's words, gradually approaching the doorway to shine a light inside. Although there is no abnormality, but …… he is always afraid that there will be something hidden between the door that he pushed open and the wall behind him …… Will he just hang up as soon as he goes in?
At this time, Zhao Long and Feng Yu also walked up.
"Go in first and take a look." Zhao Long glanced at Ge Qi and said, "We must now look for any areas that might have clues. There is no other way. This Bloodletter Quest, we won't survive if we can't find a way to survive!"
"Okay …… okay ……" Gerch could only clench his teeth and step into the room. Finally, what he feared didn't happen, there was still no furniture inside, no place to hide.
"Hmm?"
With the help of the firelight, Dong Qi realized that there was a small hole in the floor.
"Ge Qi, take a look at this!"
In normal times, Dong Xie's direct orders from such a new occupant would definitely upset Ge Qi. But all the way down, his performance was becoming more and more humiliating, on the contrary this brother and sister pair, as first time occupants carrying out the instructions of the Blood Character, were already quite calm, and Zhao Long looked at this brother and sister duo were both becoming more and more satisfied. So, displeased to be displeased, but Zhao Long watched, Ge Qi still reluctantly walked up and asked in a stiff tone, "Photograph what?"
Of course, upset to upset, Ge Qi wasn't someone who couldn't tell the difference between light and heavy. If Dong Qi had really made any discoveries that would allow him to explore the living path of the Bleeding Character, then he would also be very grateful to Dong Qi and would treat him as a benefactor. Therefore, he still had a few expectations.
Dong Xie pointed to the hole in the floor and said, "Look at this …… shine a light on it with a lighter ……"
Ge Qi squatted down and looked for half a day before finding the small hole in the floor.
"This …… is just a small hole in the floor broken, right?"
Ge Qi immediately disappointed, even wanted to move the lighter away, "Are you making a big deal out of it?"
Dong Ning naturally supported his brother Dong Qi unconditionally, saying, "This hole …… may be able to see downstairs …… that is, the 4th floor."
Ge Qi heard this and froze, he came close to the hole and shone a light, but he could not see anything.
He put his body down, put his eyes close to the hole, not caring about the lighter flame close to the eyes feel the high temperature, want to see clearly.
But …… still can not see anything. This bit of flame from the lighter was too weak, and the hole was just a little too small.
"Can't see." Ge Qi shook his head and said, "After all, it's just a lighter, not a flashlight."
Dong Qi gritted his teeth and said, "Let me take a look …… You hold the lighter as close as possible. I think …… this will probably be a clue to unlock the way to life."
"Let me do it, brother ……" Dong Ning volunteered, but Dong Xie did not hesitate to shake his head.
Dong Xie lay on the floor, approached the small hole, closed his left eye, and aimed his right eye at the hole.
It was pitch black.
At this time, Ge Qi brought the lighter close to Dong Xie's eyes, the flame almost reaching his eyelashes!
Immediately after the firelight came closer, Dong Xie saw …… an eye appearing at the other end of the cave mouth that was staring at him dead in the face!
