Chapter 32 Shirt Sleeves
While I was still energetic, I simply told all the stories of how the three big stars and Adjutant Li came to the Death Valley through all the obstacles, and how they were tragically dumped off the car.
They also kept making heart-wrenching expressions when they heard this, sighing that no matter which road it was, it was really not easy to enter Death Valley alive. It was true that this place had no return!
Everyone has said so much, and although they have figured out some things, the main problem is still at the end of the pipeline.
The end is obviously far away in Kunlun Mountain, so we can't see it. This well is at most a transit station. Mouse and the others speculate that the original purpose here should be a place where craftsmen use to replenish supplies and rest.
On the other side of the pipeline, although everyone dived into Tosu Lake, the harvest can only be said to be average. The most important witness, Mr. Dong, is not here now. We have no idea whether he saw Wurile or something else. After a few people got separated from him, until he carved the oxygen tank and floated it to us. What did he experience alone? If we had not found him, we would never know.
I was worried that I was dying. As Mr. Dong grew older, his arthritis became more and more severe. It was obviously not possible for him to soak in cold ice water for a long time. Moreover, he was in a very poor mental state during this period. He had to deal with Dong Xingcai's funeral and also took into account the trip to Kunlun. Although he looked like a big bull with a strong head, I knew that even the strong bull would be weak!
We have no way to contact him now. After arriving at the Death Valley, we have been here for a while, and we have never waited for him. We can't even know whether he is still at the bottom of the Lake Toso!
I don't know what else I can do for him. If my strength is stronger, maybe he will not have to be so tired as the captain, right? Thinking of this, I feel more and more that I cry and howl at the top of my throat without moving, and they...
Eh? They?
I patted my hot face that was roasted by the bonfire: "Brother Mouse?"
"What's the matter?"
"Brother Dao?"
"I'm here."
"Where is the little prince? After talking for a long time, where did he go?"
"I haven't come back." The mouse spread his hands again, "And, we don't plan to wait for him to come back."
"He... went out of this well?"
"Well, I said I wanted to explore the way, and then I lost it. I haven't come yet. We can't be a frog in the well to wait for him... so I left a few words and left first." Chao Wendao pointed to the stone slab next to the fire, and the arrows carved on the blade, "Fortunately, we didn't go too far, otherwise we wouldn't be able to catch up and save you."
I sorted out my somewhat confused thoughts. Those big shots who are more courageous than me and are much more agile must have known the situation in the pit!
"What exactly are 'they'? Could it be female ghosts? I still don't want to believe that there are ghosts in the world!"
"This cannot be asserted, it's real and false!" The mouse pulled open his waist bag, pulled out a piece of rag strip from it, and threw it in front of me, "Xiao Liuyi, look at this thing, tore it off from the 'female ghost' you mentioned."
"'Tear off'? Have you all fought?"
I thought they were really much more powerful than me. I picked up the rag and found that it was actually a piece of cuff that was torn off the clothes.
Apart from a drop of blood or two, the cuff looks very clean. It seems that it has just been cleaned for a few days, and there are two buttons with a few threads hanging on the cuff!
I thought about it and found that the cuffs should have been torn off from a long-sleeved shirt. In other words, in the big pit in the Inoue, there is a female ghost in the innermost clothes that are not only clean but also pretty good in style?
"I'll go, what's going on? Brother Mouse, how did you fight at that time?"
"It's hard to describe it, I've been hit more than once..." The mouse tidied up his collar and showed me the scar of someone's fingernail scratching him. "At that time, the little prince was still in the team. We climbed up from the well and were almost exhausted. As soon as we went out, we heard a group of women singing something untuned. I guess you heard this song Xiao Liuyi, right?"
I nodded. What he said must be the nursery rhyme of people eating at night. Brother Mouse continued: "The three of us crawled out and were confused. We couldn't even guess where this place belongs. Suddenly, a group of women came, which scared me **!"
He said vividly, and I understand their feelings at that time. They are much more innocent than us. Who would have thought that he would go from one city to another after a coma!
"I thought to myself, it should be great if there are too many women. I have been running outside for so many years. Not to mention getting close to a few women, I don't have the chance to get close to a few female monkeys. This group of people is like dreaming!"
"You deserve to be scratched. We all took out the knife. You said you should be merciful!" The weirdo muttered unwillingly, causing the mouse to roll his eyes at him a few times.
"It's the third update in the middle of the night! I don't have the good look you have! Didn't I suffer a loss later and fight for my life!"
I recalled the female ghost I had fought with and asked hurriedly: "How does it feel to fight? They seem to have breathing and pulse? And they are very strong!"
"Yes, I'll know that I'll be fooled after a few rounds. That's not a woman! I waved my hand and was like a bear's paw! The little prince's bald head was swollen!"
"So do you think that those 'female ghosts' actually have a man's body?" I spread out the sleeves of the shirt in my hand, "The style of this dress is also a man's style, right?"
The weird man nodded: "Not only is the man wearing men's clothes inside, but also, this person knows the little prince. You can guess the new and old levels of the fabric. This guy should have belonged to Song Dana and his team!"
The image of Lao Jiu immediately appeared in my mind. Their team was probably like a mouse monster. They left Lake Tosu and entered the Death Valley directly through the pipeline and the well of Hell Gate. But why did the guy Lao Jiu and the little prince know turned into a female ghost with a man's body? Is there really a situation of being collectively possessed?
"Later, we couldn't beat it, and jumped back into the well, and then found this space to rest in a panic. The mouse had already removed the mechanism on the door. But just staying like this was obviously not a solution. We waited until we calmed down outside and took it out quietly again, but it turned out worse and worse, and it was thundering outside!"
The weird guy put the dried blanket on me, and my cotton coat almost returned to normal now. He paused and asked me, "Dwarf snake, have you also seen the phantom?"
"A ghost movie? It turns out that everyone can see it the same way?!"
"Yes, as long as lightning strikes here, the movie will be played!" The weirdo looked very experienced. It seems that during the time they stayed here, lightning still often came to this big pit. "Anyway, we tried several times, but we couldn't run out of the well. We couldn't even find food everywhere. We could only secretly pick up a few branches to make a fire. Later, the little prince was always thinking about the acquaintances in Song Dana's team, so he offered to climb out and explore the way, and then he never came back. After he left, those women would still appear as usual, but there were many women here, and we couldn't tell who was the one who had no shirt cuffs, and we didn't know what the little prince was like."
I was worried about the heart that Master Dong was snatching, and half of it was split up. Those female ghosts wanted to eat people. If he never returned, would he be taken away and eaten?
If you think about it carefully, it is a bit contradictory. If outsiders who enter here will be harassed by female ghosts and will be treated as food by them, then Song Dana, who came half a year earlier than us, is of course considered outsiders!
However, two Lao Jiu who was possessed by the female snake spirit appeared outside the valley, and another team member appeared in the army of female ghosts arrested people. They were all serious Jinye secrets. Why did they join the female ghost team? If they accidentally fell into their hands when they ran out of the gate of hell, they should have been eaten and turned into nutrients, right?
"Just relying on the little information we are looking at in our eyes, we can't even pick out more clues." Brother Mouse came over and touched my collar, confirmed that all the well water had evaporated, so he cleaned up the few debris on the ground and made a gesture to set off-
"It's time to leave. Don't stay here for a long time. My project has to be carried out while walking. Take the time to go. Looking at the lightning, we also guessed that we had arrived at Death Valley. But what the valley looks like? Before I saw it, I was fooled in the pit all day long..."
I was wondering how to get out of here besides climbing out of the well. There is also a road that can lead to Kunlun Mountain under the water along the pipeline, but we humans can't hold on in the water, and the force that drives transportation has disappeared. It is a fantasy to swim up the mountain in the pipe.
However, the device installed by the Yellow Bird in Baigongshan Hotel should be able to infer what changes have occurred in each pipeline through the flow of various data?
I followed the mouse's gesture and the stone behind was dug a hole that could penetrate a person. He picked up a branch from the fire and shone it over. I found that a very long tunnel had formed inside. It turned out that what he said was the project he was carrying out while walking was digging a hole? The nickname was mouse, and he really knew how to dig holes!
