Chapter 50 Shadow
I don't know who this person is. I don't know whether he is a man or a woman. There is just a blurry shadow on the wall, which looks a bit like the black and white portraits seen in surveillance videos with extremely poor resolution.
This person is suspended in the air, his whole body is black, and only his face is white. The facial features on the white face are blurred, and only two dark eye holes can be seen, and a triangular-shaped black mouth that looks like a snake.
Wang Chen's first feeling was not fear, but horror. He thought he was hallucinating or the special light and shadow effect formed by the interlacing flashlight lights in the dark corridor. When he was about to look away, he found that the shadow was moving, and his body was moving.
It is getting bigger and bigger, and there is a very strange visual effect. The wall is like a window, and the figure is getting closer and closer from a far away place, trying to get down from the wall.
Moreover, according to Wang Chen's description, although the facial features of the figure on the wall were unclear, he could feel that the figure was laughing eerily, with its disheveled black hair dancing wildly.
Wang Chen said with certainty that if the figure on the wall had a gender, it must be a woman.
He was so frightened that he didn't dare to move. His whole body was stiff, as if he was trapped by something. Only him and the ghostly shadow opposite him were left in the world. At the moment when the ghostly shadow filled the wall and seemed to break out of the wall,
It suddenly changed direction, followed the wall all the way up, and disappeared in the direction of the rooftop.
This whole process sounds complicated, but in fact, in just two or three seconds, Wang Chen seemed to have gone through hell-like torture, with cold sweat on his head. This kid is very cool, and he has long bangs, which are sticky at this time.
On the forehead, there are strands of strands, which look quite pitiful.
Hearing Wang Chen's description, Li Yang and I were fine. Qin Dan was not that scared, but frowned and thought. Tong Suo was the most timid, licking his lips constantly and leaning close to us, very worried.
Restlessly shining a flashlight on the stairs leading to the rooftop.
After a while, Li Yang said: "This may be some kind of cover-up, to scare us back, as a warning."
I thought about it and said to Wang Chen: "Why don't you go back? This place is really not suitable for you. Let's do what we can. No one will laugh at us."
Wang Chen nodded dejectedly, finally knowing how much he weighed. He hesitated: "I, I, Lao Liu, come with me."
I wanted to laugh, but he was obviously scared. Okay, I brought the person to you, and I am responsible for his safety both emotionally and rationally.
I said to Li Yang and the three of them: "Don't move. I'll take him to the elevator and come back."
Li Yang said: "Don't worry, we won't go unless you come."
I took Wang Chen and started walking down. The stairs below were only three meters long. If I walked quickly, I could walk down there in a few minutes. I couldn't help but blame him. If it weren't for this diamond diamond, don't do the porcelain work. You are the only one who has the guts to follow me.
We were hanging out and while we were talking, I suddenly stopped.
Wang Chen stopped behind me and asked what happened.
I turned my head, and he was frightened by my ferocious expression: "Old Liu, don't scare me, it's not such a joke. What did you see?"
My heartbeat quickened and I said to him: "Quick, quick, go back."
The two of us ran back in a hurry, and Wang Chen almost climbed all the way back to the landing. Li Yang and the other three were standing talking. Seeing that we were back, they asked what was going on.
I was panting and pointed down and said, "We can't go back."
"What's going on?" Li Yang's eyes widened.
I really couldn't calmly describe what happened, so I forced myself to calm down and slowly told them.
Wang Chen and I were going down the stairs just now, and I was walking at the front. The light flickered in the darkness, reflecting the scene below the stairs.
It was a space of about a hundred square meters, filled with debris. The two thick white iron doors were very conspicuous, with door locks hung on them and fastened tightly. There was written in black ink on the door: The rooftop is dangerous.
At that time, my heart was beating so fast that I almost dropped my pants. Yes, right under the stairs was supposed to be the deep corridor in the doorway. That was the only way for us to leave. Now it turned out to be the top floor of the rooftop.
As for the rooftop, it should be in the direction above the stairs. Why is it that when you go down, you actually go around in a circle and come down from the top? Is this a trick on the wall?
Li Yang pondered thoughtfully: "We have been to the rooftop many times. It is already the highest rooftop. There must be no stairs leading up. If you are going around in circles, how could you appear on the non-existent stairs on the rooftop?
"
Tongsuo said: "This is not easy. I have the best way to deal with the ghosts hitting the wall. We are divided into two groups, one group goes up to the rooftop, and the other group goes down to see if we can meet in the end."
We looked at each other, it was unimaginable that we had collided with an experience that could only exist in novels.
The atmosphere at this time was very solemn, but Qin Dan chuckled: "That's right, little Tongsuo, you can use your brain."
Tongsuo said: "I've always been smart, okay?"
His proposal was the best choice under the current situation, but there was something vaguely wrong in my heart. I couldn't explain the reason. My eyelids were twitching, and I felt like something was going to happen.
"Even if we divide into two groups, we should pay attention to one problem." I said: "When each group is exploring up or down, it is best to stay on the stairs instead of going over the stairs to the rooftop."
"What are you worried about?" Li Yang raised his eyebrows.
I took a deep breath: "I feel uneasy. I always feel that the ghost wall we encountered this time is very evil. We will explore different spaces separately. I'm afraid that once we lose contact, the danger will be maximized."
Li Yang nodded: "Old Liu is right. Let's do this. Tongsuo and I will go up in a group, and the three of you will go down in a group to see if we can meet in the end."
After the division of labor was completed, without any nonsense, Li Yang led Tongsuo up the stairs, and I took Wang Chen and Qin Dan and started walking down.
Soon, we descended to the middle of the stairs. Qin Dan shined a flashlight downwards, and the girl's face was filled with horror. Under the stairs, there was a rooftop that was piled with debris and closed with an iron door.
This time I was mentally prepared and calm enough to observe carefully.
Our current location should be on the inner wall on the west side of the rooftop. According to my memory, there are no stairs at all in that area of the real rooftop, just a tall white wall.
The three of us continued walking down and came to the bottom of the stairs. There were still a few steps before we reached the rooftop. According to everyone's agreement before departure, our range of activities could only be on the stairs, and no one was allowed to cross this boundary.
.
Three powerful beams of light from the wolf-eye flashlight were shining on the roof of the rooftop in front of us. Within the light range, no one could be seen. We focused on the stairs leading to the rooftop, and there was no one there at all.
Suddenly, without any mental preparation, Qin Dan shouted in a girl's sharp voice: "Li Yang, Tongsuo, can you hear me?"
I was so scared. Damn it, this girl couldn't say hello in advance before she shouted. Wang Chen was a young boy, and he was as timid as a mouse in this kind of environment. This voice scared him so much that he couldn't hold the flashlight in his hand steadily.
Falling on the stairs, he rolled down and landed on the top floor platform.
The flashlight still maintains super brightness. As the scrolling direction continues to change, the huge light and shadow on the wall is also constantly shaking, like a spotlight in a dark theater.
We looked at each other. Wang Chen's face turned pale and he held me tightly, his teeth chattering.
At this time, from a place that seemed very far above, a buzzing voice came from a copper lock: "We are just one step away from reaching the top floor. We are shining a flashlight on the wall, have you seen it?"
Qin Dan turned his face sideways and shouted: "I didn't see it"
Now I can be sure that the rooftops our two groups went to are basically two places.
The pores all over my body opened instantly, and a strong fear came over me like a tide. At this time, I made a decisive decision: "Go up quickly."
But both of them were dumbfounded and motionless, especially Wang Chen, whose eyes bulged, his throat kept twitching, and his trembling hands pointed in one direction.
I followed his hand and saw that the flashlight rolling around on the platform had stopped. The beam of light shot out from the top of the flashlight and was shining on the two tightly closed white iron doors leading to the rooftop.
Just in the light spot, there is a black shadow hanging faintly. What is scary is not its size, but its strange shape.
That is a person's shadow.
It is about 1.5 meters tall. It has a big head and looks like a bamboo basket in the countryside. Its body is in a weird rickets shape, and there are two arms as long as its body vaguely appearing on both sides of its body. It looks a bit like
Primitive man who just learned to walk upright.
Although it is just a vague outline of a shadow, judging from the first impression, it should be facing away from the light, rather than facing the wall.
Don't ask why, this is how I feel.
If it were just such a shadow, at least Qin Dan, who has experienced many battles, would not be frightened and freeze on the spot. Because there are many reasons for the shadow illusion, such as the intersection of light from different light sources, the transmission and refraction of special objects, etc., the reason why we now let
So scared because this shadow is alive.
It's moving.
Smart readers will remember this detail. Wang Chen's flashlight is still on the platform at this time, and the light source it emits is also stable. In other words, the shadow is moving, not because of the visual difference caused by the change of the light source, but because,
It's really moving on its own
The rickety back seemed to be looking for something. The shadow suddenly grew larger and smaller. In my opinion, its position was changing. It was suddenly very close to the wall and suddenly very far away from the wall.
Its movement is not haphazard, but seems to have a certain purpose.
My hands were covered in cold sweat. The stairs were silent at this time, and no one of us spoke. I guess the two of them couldn't even move their legs now.
The black shadow on the wall paused and stopped changing. Suddenly, it turned its head, very slowly, once and for a while. The direction it turned its head was facing the stairs where we were.
Wang Chen was so frightened that his two sides trembled. Qin Dan is a girl after all. Although she has experienced a lot, she is close to collapse at this time. I am the only one who still maintains a calm attitude. Not that I am very courageous.
, because my personality is very introverted. No matter how scared or fearful I am, I will squeeze my emotions into my heart to the maximum extent without releasing them. This kind of mentality is very bad and it is easy to become depressed. However, in some cases, it can lead to depression.
I am the most sober. For example, right now.
I shouted: "Run quickly." I grabbed Wang Chen with one hand and Qin Dan with the other, and pulled them both up the stairs with all my strength.
The shadow on the iron gate must have noticed us, and actually staggered in the light spot, dragging its two long arms, moving faster and faster, and quickly moved towards us on the wall.
The two of them finally came to their senses. They rolled around, hating that their parents had lost two legs. They ran like crazy upstairs. We didn't dare to look back, and I felt numbness on the back of my scalp. I really felt something.
Something was following not far behind, and the distance was getting closer and closer.
This kind of psychological pressure made it almost impossible to breathe. I missed my footing and fell to the ground. Ignoring the burning pain in my knees, I quickly got up and continued running up.
After not running far, we saw Li Yang and Tong Suo coming down from upstairs. The two men stood on a high place and shook us with flashlights. Tong Suo was surprised and said, "Oh my god, what happened to you? You were chased out by ghosts."
Qin Dan ran between them and leaned tightly against Tongsuo. The girl was panting: "Really, there really is a ghost."
Wang Chen hid behind Li Yang and shivered into a ball.
Not to mention that Li Yang really has the aura of a superior person. The more tense the situation is, the calmer his face becomes. He patted Wang Chen on the shoulder to signal not to panic, and asked me who climbed up: "Old Liu, what's going on?"
After I found the large army, I felt a little more at ease. I turned around and used my flashlight to shine down. It was dark deep in the stairs. Although I couldn't see anything, I always felt that there seemed to be something hidden in the deep darkness.
I rubbed my forehead, leaned against the wall, gasped for air, and waved my hands: "Let Qin Dan speak."
Tong Suo saw us looking panicked. He was also a little scared and carefully shined his flashlight on the stairs below.
