This time, the order of arrangement between us was a little different from just now. Since the Huozhezi was in my hand, I walked in the front, Andrew followed closely behind me, and Zhang Jisheng and Xiang Yu walked in the front.
Last.
I don’t know the order in which Zhang Jisheng and Xiang Yu walked. Anyway, after walking about ten flights of stairs, Zhang Jisheng suddenly said that Xiang Yu was missing.
"Zhang Jisheng, weren't you walking behind Xiangyu just now? How could you not even know why she disappeared? There are stone walls on both sides of this staircase, and there are no other branches at all. Is it possible that such a big living thing is impossible?
How can people disappear out of thin air?" Andrew was very excited, and it was obvious that he loved Xiangyu as a student.
"I, she," Zhang Jisheng said a little incoherently, "Xiang Yu was walking at the end just now, I..."
"What, in this environment, you can't see your fingers, and you let a girl walk at the back, I, I really want to punch you twice now." When I heard Zhang Jisheng said that Xiangyu was walking at the back,
I finally saw the true face of this person clearly.
"Zhou, what should we do now? This staircase leads to the end. Apart from the dollhouse we just walked along, there are no other side roads. Yu doesn't know how long she has been missing, and she doesn't know if she has been missing.
When faced with danger, she is a weak woman and she is no match for them no matter what she encounters."
It can be seen that Andrew is already a little nervous. Along the way, I feel that whether he encounters a green snake or is in a tunnel, he always has his own clear judgment and choice. But this time, somehow,
But he seemed to be a bit out of his element. Could it be that the teacher-student friendship between him and Xiang Yu was already so strong?
"Now I can only go up the stairs to see if Xiangyu feels unwell and where to rest." My current mentality is okay for the time being. Although I am also worried, I am not as nervous as Andrew, but I am really not.
What's a good idea is to go back the same way and try your luck.
"Then why are you still standing? Let's go quickly." Andrew said, he took out another fire stick, lit it, and walked up first.
Upon seeing this, Zhang Jisheng and I followed closely behind him.
At this time, we couldn't care too much anymore. Everyone let go of their throats and shouted loudly: "Xiangyu, Xiangyu..." However, all we heard was the echo, and then there was our own breathing, and Xiangyu
, not even a hair was seen.
In less than half a minute, we had already returned to the room halfway up the stairs, but for some reason, the carved wooden door was closed. When we just left, no one should have closed the door.
"Jisheng, you and Xiangyu were the last to leave the house just now. Did you close the door?" I turned around and asked Zhang Jisheng.
"No, this house looks so scary. Xiangyu and I are too late to follow you. How can we think about closing the door?" Zhang Jisheng said, shrinking back, with a look of fear on his face.
Hearing what Zhang Jisheng said, Andrew and I looked at each other. In fact, we were a little mentally prepared. Xiangyu was most likely in this room.
Before I could react, Andrew had already kicked the carved wooden door open. Under the influence of Andrew's big feet, the door knocker shook violently and made a crisp sound.
We shined two fire sticks into the room, and the originally small room suddenly became bright. The rattan wooden horse in the corner that had calmed down, the jigsaw puzzle scattered on the ground, and the Luban lock fell into our eyes one by one.
, but I didn’t see Xiangyu.
Could it be that Xiangyu is not in this room? I thought to myself.
"Zhou, this room is empty. It's obvious at a glance that Xiangyu is not here. Let's go up and look for it." Andrew looked restless, and the hand that wasn't holding the fire fold couldn't help but twitch on the top of his shirt.
Rubbing the corners.
"Andrew, please calm down. Xiangyu talked to us when we first arrived in this room, which means that the location of her disappearance was from this room to the time we just discovered that Xiangyu was gone. You
Think about it, Xiangyu is a living person, if she encounters any attack, her stress reaction will make her cry out, and she disappeared quietly behind us, which shows
, During this journey, there may be some traps such as secret passages and secret rooms. Xiangyu fell into it without any psychological preparation, so we were not aware of it at all." I analyzed calmly.
"So what should we do now?" Andrew was already in a state of anxiety and anger, without any idea of his own.
"Let's do this. Let's act separately and walk up alone. Although the possibility of Xiangyu being on the stairs above is very low, we can't let go of any possible chance. The other two people walk down and carefully
Let’s explore this staircase to see if there are any secret passages.” I said.
"That week, you and I can go down to find the secret passage. Zhang Jisheng, you can go up." Andrew said.
Maybe Xiangyu's disappearance also made Zhang Jisheng feel a little embarrassed, so he was very serious about helping to find Xiangyu along the way, but when he heard Andrew's arrangement, he immediately stopped working.
Zhang Jisheng's face changed, and he said in a very unfriendly tone: "Why are you two together, and then you want me to be alone? If you find the so-called secret passages of the agency, and then the two of you quietly walk away, then I
what to do?"
"Jisheng, we won't do this, and time is running out now. It's important to find Xiangyu first." I suppressed the fire in my chest and said in a good voice.
"Anyway, no matter what you say, I will go with you for other interviews." Zhang Jisheng said and simply sat down next to me.
Faced with his unreasonable cheating, I really had no choice but to say to Andrew: "How about we act together."
Andrew cursed angrily: "Zhang Jisheng, you beast."
"To each other, stinking Americans." Zhang Jisheng replied not to be outdone.
"That's enough, now is not the time for internal strife. Xiangyu is in danger." I shouted, and all the fire in my heart burst out.
Just when the three of us were about to start fighting, Zhang Jisheng, who was sitting on the ground, suddenly turned as pale as dirt and his mouth trembled uncontrollably, "Up, up, up..." After he repeated the word "up" three times, the ground
A puddle of water actually appeared on it.
Incontinence of urine!
When I saw this, I could already imagine how terrifying what he saw was. Although I was fully prepared mentally, when I looked up at the eaves, my legs still couldn't help but soften, and my whole body collapsed on the ground.
superior.
Andrew was immediately frightened and stood there, frozen like a sculpture.
On the beam directly above our heads, there is a human-shaped thing standing. This thing's body is covered with white wireworms, and every part of its body is slowly squirming. At this moment, he is half-kneeling.
On top of the beam, the palms of both hands were pointing down to support the upper body. Those two empty eyes without eyeballs were staring at the three of us under the beam, as if they were about to attack at any time.
Xiangyu, on the other hand, was stretched across the beam and was already unconscious.
This time, I was the first to realize that this insect man was Lao Li.
The iron worms had eaten all of Lao Li's body, then attached themselves to Lao Li's skeleton, and followed us into the secret passage. Just when the wall door behind the bronze mirror was about to close, what I saw
That figure is indeed Lao Li.
Thinking of this, I felt a burst of sadness in my heart. These damn iron worms had sucked up all the flesh and blood from Lao Li's torso and refused to give up. They even used his skeleton to attack us. It was really unforgivable.
I just don't know why they haven't attacked Xiangyu yet, they just put it on the beam.
Just before I could sort out what was going on, the bug-man on the beam suddenly moved. He jumped and flew towards Andrew.
"Andrew, get out of the way." I shouted loudly and pushed Andrew away.
The insect man missed the target and then shifted his target to me.
