Chapter 157 Bewitched
All the corpses, all hanging densely on the cave roof, said hanging, just because I really can't find an exact word to describe this kind of scene, just like sunbathing clothes, these corpses, one after another, as if someone had carefully organized them, neat and tidy, a little scary. Even if there were a hundred or so in a row, but looking at the total number, it was at least a thousand.
I couldn't see at all what was holding them up to keep them from falling, because I couldn't see the ropes or anything else that was supporting them. But as soon as I thought that above my head, there were corpses everywhere, and maybe there were quite a few of them, gazing coldly at me with their eyes open, goosebumps rose all over my body, and a chill ran down my back.
I held my breath, not even dare to take a big breath, try to stabilize my trembling hands and feet, stumbling towards the hole, but when I forward, I suddenly realized that with the emergence of these corpses, the hole where the light came in, suddenly disappeared!
But the light in the hole did not disappear, do not know where the source of light, as if to come here, all the things, are unimaginable can not understand, will be my original world view are all broken.
I didn't know what I was supposed to do, I just looked up and stared blankly at the bodies above me until I was sure they weren't going to make a move, and only then did I manage to breathe a sigh of relief. I walked over to the wall and groped along it bit by bit, as if trying to figure out a mechanism from the wall that could open a secret door, but in the last lap I walked over, I still found nothing. Instead, he felt that this idea was naive and ridiculous.
Time passes little by little, the light in the cave has never changed, I huddle alone in the corner, from time to time to look up to see on a glance, and then hold legs, brain blank, want to think about something, but a little clues are not.
I don't know how long this has passed, my stomach is hungry, but I can't do anything except hold back. It was as if I was being slowly worn down by this environment. Until finally, I suddenly heard a slight sound that made my whole body tense up again.
That sound came from the top of my head, and at first it was just a slight scuffling sound, but in the end, it suddenly became more and more dense.
I hurriedly stood up, hand into the pants pocket, tightly holding the spirit bell, the head of the body suddenly as if the wind blew, gently swing back and forth, all my attention fell on them, and finally suddenly "pop" sound, a body as if the thread is broken, violently from the top fell down.
I shuddered in fear, looked at him nervously, but I did not expect that this is just the beginning, followed by countless bodies, one after another, crackling down, as if a rain of corpses in general! I hurriedly retreated towards the wall, wanting to stay as far away as possible, but in a few minutes time, the corpses that were still hanging above my head earlier, have all piled up within this cave. One on top of the other, as if they were the rotting flesh of those hacked to pieces in the market.
I had no idea what was going on here. But before my mind could turn a corner, I saw these corpses move, their arms and legs spasming slightly, either bracing themselves on the ground or crouching on top of the corpses underneath them, standing up with a lurch.
I was too nervous to let out my breath, but I didn't regret at all that I saw these things after ringing the bell, because in that kind of darkness, not knowing what you're about to face is the most terrifying thing of all.
Those corpses slowly straightened up, some had rotted to the point where only a bone was left, and some didn't even have complete limbs, but they stood up one after another, with an extraordinarily oozing look.
I even saw a lot of bodies without heads, some of the best preserved here. They seemed to be the same villagers who had been invoked by the Uncanny Soul, they slowly climbed down from the pile of corpses, as if they could still see the world in front of them even though they had no heads. One by one, they turned to face me, as if they were watching me with their headless bodies.
I stood still and looked at them with the same nervousness, unable to figure out what they wanted to do.
But before long, they suddenly turned their bodies, slowly, toward one side of the cave, as if there was a pattern of movement. I turned my head towards the direction they went to look, only to find that the cave that exit do not know when, and suddenly appeared, this on the front of the walker, so step by step, towards the exit of the attack of light in the past.
I hesitated for a moment to do what to do, my heart tangled for a long time, before I slowly took a step, followed them towards that exit.
I kept almost the same pace as these corpses, not daring to go too fast or slow down, as if I had to pretend to be one of them. From time to time, a few corpses would turn their heads to look at me, and I also turned my head to look at them, I was either too nervous or too stupid, and even subconsciously nodded my head to them as if to say hello. Those corpses face expression did not change at all, is so look at me for a moment, and then turned his head away from me.
We slowly came to the cave entrance, at this time, I realized that the light is very bright, very bright, piercing my eyes are difficult to open, completely unable to see clearly what will be outside the cave. This feeling was as if I was standing on a wooden coffin and could not see the world underneath it.
I had just stepped into the light, when the chains on my neck suddenly tightened, and like snakes, they began to shrink. I was shocked in my heart, busy turning my head to look behind me, and suddenly I saw the changeless standing at the other end of the cave, his white figure was especially obvious, his clothes fluttering without wind, quite a feeling of a god, the other end of the chain, tugging at his hands.
His white eyes looked at me, no thoughts or emotions, but it seems that he does not want me to leave this place, but strangely enough, he similarly did not pull this chain backward, only that this chain seems to have its own consciousness, tightened more and more tightly, I could not breathe, and all of a sudden collapsed on the ground, coughing continuously. But I don't know why, my body was enveloped in this white light, although I couldn't breathe and my consciousness was getting blurred, deep in my heart, there was a warm feeling, as if my soul unconsciously wanted to run out of my body and accept this baptism.
It's a pity that not much time passed, I guess not more than a minute, the last bit of my consciousness, also disappeared.
I don't know how long I continued to be unconscious in this state, but when I gradually came to my senses, I suddenly felt that the thing underneath me was a little soft, no longer as hard as the previous land. I slightly moved my body, but obviously feel that I am still covered with a quilt, I completely puzzled, I am now lying in a bed!
I just wanted to understand, a fierce energy to sit up from the bed, open my eyes, and found that at this time, the sky is not yet bright, and the layout of the room, I'm not strange at all, I actually stayed in their own room, lying in their own bed, here, is my family's old mansion!
I blankly looked at everything in front of me, the heart is surprised beyond measure, reached out towards the neck to touch a hand, found that the neck chains are gone, the previous body wounds, also all good, did not leave a little scar, even more bizarre is that I wore the blood perp, even disappeared!
I hurriedly stood up from the bed, casually grabbed a piece of clothing to put on, just ready, want to go to understand the reasons for these changes, I suddenly heard a subtle footsteps outside the door, followed by the sound of knocking on the door. The knocking sound has not stopped, and then I heard a voice that I am familiar with, shouted outside the room, said, Xiao Xi, wake up or not, the time is almost up, in not get up can not catch the car.
I can't tell you what it's like to hear this voice again, in my heart. I can not speak, slowly toward the door over, gently open a crack, to see the door that familiar face.
My mother stood there, wearing her favorite clothes, seems to have just woken up like, see me, only a faint smile, said, up, then quickly go to wash up, breakfast I'm ready, eat it quickly go out to go.
I froze and looked at her, did not say a word, she seemed to notice my strange place, puzzled frowned, asked me to say, what's wrong? Didn't you sleep well last night?
I paused for a long time, then slowly shook my head, felt wrong, nodded again, muttered under my breath, said no, quite good.
She seemed a bit disbelieving, but in the end did not say anything more, just frowned and explained a few words to me to let me move faster, then turned around and left. Only left me standing in the room, frozen for a long time, still did not react to what happened.
Until she shouted again outside, I just jerked awake, "bang" a closed the door of the room, towards the mirror to look at a glance, only to find that I even some changes in appearance, no longer the kind of sleep deprivation at any time hanging with dark circles under the eyes of the appearance of the whole person's state of mind are better than before to many, even the hair is to be shorter than before. The hair is even shorter than before.
At this time, placed on the bedside table on the cell phone rang, is my alarm clock time, I picked up a look, found only seven thirty. But then look at the day, I was silly, no wonder there is always a kind of inexplicable familiar feeling, this day is the first day of the Lunar New Year, I need to go back to work day!
My hand is soft, the phone "bang" fell on the bed, I can not understand my current situation, I am traveling back to the previous time, or that I have experienced everything before, are just a long dream?
Chapter 158: Dream Butterfly
I tried hard to think back, everything I had experienced before was still fresh in my mind, but what I saw and heard now was also so real. I can't help but pinch myself hard, it is said that people in the dream, is not going to feel the pain, but in the past when I was injured, I can feel that pain deeply, and now, it is the same, I pinch my own tears are almost out, which realized that this method does not help me at all.
I picked up my cell phone from the bed and flipped through the address book, there was no Tintin, no little ghost nor Lu Yao, only Lin Tian's number, still as before, existed in the phone book.
I looked at that number for a long time, pondered for a while, before dialing, but the phone has been in the state of no one to answer, I can understand why, usually at this time, Lin Tian are still asleep, not to mention the first day of the Lunar New Year today, must be less than noon will not get up. Therefore I had to give up, pack up their own things, which walked out of the room.
My mom has been on the table full of food, see me, face smiled a smile, said Xiaoxi you still froze there to do what, has been delayed for so long, in the delay for a while, the car can be gone, how do you still go back to work.
I did not answer, trembling walked to the table, looked at the above small dishes and noodles, but no appetite. I have already experienced this kind of scene once, it is exactly the same as the first day of the New Year, experienced those things re-enacted again. But I was still the same as before, I couldn't tell whether this was me traveling through the world, or whether I was having a dream that could foretell the future.
I was so bored that I couldn't eat any more, and I put my chopsticks on the table with a "snap". My mom looked at me like this, slightly froze for a moment, asked me, Xiao Xi, what's wrong with you, get up early in the morning is not right.
I looked straight at her, but she only had a look of uncertainty, I could not tell if it was true or not.
I wanted to hold back, but as a result, I did not hold back and still opened my mouth to ask her, saying Mom, I am dreaming, right?
She was stunned again, after so many seconds or two, before she said, what are you saying silly things, you haven't woken up yet.
She said on the one hand, one side also reached out to touch my forehead, to make sure that I did not get sick and fever, and frowned, asked me if you are not encountered what troublesome things?
I shook my head, thinking about how to be able to recognize the current situation, silent for a while, I only raised my head to ask her, said, I seem to have a dream, dreaming that you …… passed away, and then I started to bump into ghosts, and it turned out that the root cause of all this is because of your pair of blood perch pendants… …
Who knows that I have not finished my words, her hand carrying the bowl suddenly trembled, the bowl did not hold it steadily, and it fell to the ground at once and shattered.
I didn't expect her to react this way, seeing that she immediately stood up and looked at me nervously, asking, what did you just say, what exactly did you dream about!
Her words made me a little surprised, as if, all those things I experienced earlier, were real, or should I say, were actually going to happen, which means that I wasn't fantasizing out of thin air, or else my mom's reaction shouldn't have been so agitated.
She seemed to realize that she said the wrong words, quickly calm down, cover up, look at me, listen to you say dream that I died, was you startled, this New Year's Eve, don't say this kind of bad luck words.
Her words fell, not ready to clean up the broken bowl on the ground, but into my room will be my luggage out, said I see you do not have an appetite, it is better to leave now, later to the station to buy some bread and so on, the road hungry and then eat.
I looked at her this panicked look, know things must not be good, because usually even if encountered things, my mother is much more calm, almost nothing can make her so overwhelmed.
I did not Gu that luggage baggage, just stopped in front of her, asked her to say, Mom, where is your section of bloodper?
She looked at my eyes some dodge, just faint smile, said, that thing …… I have not worn for so many years, who knows where it is placed, and I do not know how you will dream of it. All right, don t say, you early on the road, this year the work can not be easy to find, you also have to do a good job.
I still want to argue a couple of sentences, but the phone rang at this time, I slightly pause for a moment, only then pulled out to look at a glance, found that it is Lin Tian to me back to the phone, I was busy picking up, "hello" a. His side looks particularly lively, and I'm not sure how it will dream of it, I don't know how it is.
His side looks extraordinarily lively, first laughed, said, boy, you are not back home to go, call me to pay tribute to the New Year's money how, I do not give!
I heard him that tone, like a joyful little two, and I now have the impression that because of the experience of those things and become gloomy and depressed Lin Tian is not the same at all, but this is Lin Tian's original appearance, almost can be said to be carefree, can make him annoyed with things is estimated to be only those who annoyed his sister.
I thought about it in my head for a while, which opened my mouth and said in a prudent tone, don't bullshit me, I have something urgent to ask for your help right now.
He coughed twice on the other end of the phone, feigned a serious tone, and asked me what happened.
I said, I am now telling you an address, you immediately go out and help me to see if there lives a woman named Yu Fangtong, everyone calls her Mrs. Nine, her son is called Ding Ding!
When I said these two names, I intentionally or unintentionally glanced at my mother, my mother also revealed a look of disbelief, as soon as I saw this look on her face, I was also able to understand that my mother really does know these things, no matter whether my previous experience was a dream or an omen, but Ding Ding and Mrs. Nine are definitely real people, my mother has something to hide from me.
Lin Tian still wanted to ask me some detailed things on the other end of the phone, but I don't have the heart to talk to him now, and directly hung up the phone, glaring at my mom, saying you really plan to hide it from me?
She did not reply, but took a deep breath and gazed at me, saying, Xiao Xi, you seem to have a dream that has been tampered with, and it seems like you know everything, since you think you understand it, do you still need to come and ask me ……?
I can not help but choke up, said I just want to hear you open your own mouth to tell me clearly, do you really have to wait for you to die like in the dream, and then take your life one at a time in order to understand a little bit of the truth!
But my mother did not answer, she just waved her hand, said don't scream, first let me be alone and quiet, I don't want to get involved in such unusual things to come, that dream of yours, although I can't say the reason, but I will certainly investigate, first let me be alone and think about it.
Her words fell, turned around and was ready to walk into the room, I do not know why I was so emotional, a step ahead of her rushed in, locking the door backhandedly, not letting my mom come in. My mother is also anxious, outside the door to make noise, but I can not care about her, immediately open her room drawers, rummage through the closet to find up, not long, finally in the closet under a pile of clothes, to find out that put the box of blood peroxide.
I opened a look, found two pieces of blood purity are in, respectively, placed, did not change the shape, I reached out and picked up a piece, the heart has a kind of lost and found the feeling, very complex.
But at this time, the door of the room "bang" sound, suddenly was knocked open, my mother rushed in, and her usual dignified appearance completely unrelated. She looked at me holding the blood peroxide, body suddenly stunned, open a pair of eyes, slowly toward me, look at me, and look at the blood peroxide a glance, suddenly raised his hand, a slap in my face, on the spot, I was knocked out.
Her eyes reddened at the same time, tears suddenly slipped down from her face, saying who you touched! Who let you touch! Do you know touching this thing will die!
I looked at her in a daze, want to say these things I know, but I also played with the same when I was a child, I don't understand why that time can, now suddenly can not.
But before I could make a sound, my mom snatched the bloodper out of my hand and pointed it at the door, yelling for me to get out. I stood unmoving, and as a result, she hissed and cursed again, and only then did I move out of the way and head for the door. Just as soon as I came out, she slammed the door to her room shut, and as I stood outside the door, I could still hear her wailing a sad cry inside.
As it turned out, I didn't leave that day, and when the company called to ask how I was doing, I could only make the excuse that there really wasn't a car available to take me back, so I guess I would be a little late.
I stayed outside my mom's door for a long time until it got dark and she didn't come out. I was like a child who had done something wrong, and my heart felt very bad. I even made a meal, but no matter how I called, my mom closed the door, so I had no choice but to set the dinner at the door of her room.
I went back to my room, collapsed on the bed, the heart also do not understand today's approach, in the end is wrong or right, but I feel more, in fact, is in fear, because according to the kind of development before, my mother's life has not a few months, I really hope that in such a short period of time, to be able to change some things.
As I lay in bed thinking this, sleepiness came over me and my consciousness gradually drifted away. Completely unaware of how I fell asleep. But when I waited to open my eyes, everything in front of me once again confused and shocked me!
I was back in that cave, the light around me was weak, and the previous exit had disappeared again. Only those densely packed corpses were left, and the wounds on my body were still painful, reminding me of the previous scene. What was even more terrifying was that I wasn't even underground now, but hanging on the top of the cave just like these corpses, as if I had become one of them, sandwiched between them, and before and after, there was an endless stream of corpses!
I look at the current situation and am completely devastated, wondering if this is what I am experiencing, or if this day of arguing with my mom at home is what I know to be true.
It's like that idiom that says, Zhuang Sheng dreams of butterflies, and I don't know if the butterflies dream of Zhuang Zhou, or if Zhuang Zhou dreams of butterflies. I can't tell if I'm in a coma now dreaming of things that happened before, or if I'm lying on my bed right now dreaming that I'm in the middle of a cave!
Because everything I can feel is incomparably real!
