Chapter 666 Falling into Darkness
The stairs were unusually quiet.
In the pitch-black environment, the only sound was the slight crackling of burning torches.
Everyone looked around and swallowed nervously. It was obvious that there was something else in this staircase besides them!
Something that can't be seen but can be touched!
But that thing hasn't launched an attack yet, and the crowd has no way to find it for the time being, so they can only bite the bullet and move on.
The further they went down, the more depressed everyone felt.
Although the staircase is very empty, it gives people a very crowded feeling, just like walking on the stairs in a busy shopping mall.
Sometimes I feel like I am hit by a transparent man, sometimes I hear breathing sounds behind me, and it seems like something is blowing behind my neck. Although there is no wind, I can feel the disturbance of air flow coming from my side, as if something is passing by me quickly.
The further down you go, the more crowded the feeling becomes.
In addition to being crowded, there is another very strange thing about this staircase.
Every ten minutes or so, Wu Xian and others could hear a strange heavy bass sound that lasted for two seconds. The sound was low and strange, like something's unconscious mumbling in a dream.
「Ahh……」
Every time this strange sound appeared, everyone's scalp tingled, and even the hairs on their bodies trembled along with the sound.
And when this sound appeared, the feeling of 'crowding' also intensified.
The last time the strange sound of "wuah" appeared, Wu Xian reached to his side and ended up grabbing the corner of a person's clothes.
But when the strange sound disappeared, the corner of the clothes in his hand disappeared out of thin air.
Then Wu Xian put his hand into his sleeve, and one end of the soul-catching lock was rubbing the back of his hand.
Perhaps when the strange sound of "wuah" appears next time, those invisible things in the stairs will suddenly become solid and pounce on them at the same time, so Wu Xian must be prepared for battle.
But what Wu Xian didn't expect was that before they were attacked, they had already walked down the stairs and entered a huge room.
The floor of the room was paved with stone slabs. When you stepped on them, you could feel that there was nothing underneath the slabs. It was pitch black all around, and you couldn't tell how big the room was. Every few steps, you could see narrow stairs leading down.
These stairs have different directions and slopes, and are chaotically intertwined, making it unknown where they will lead to in the end.
Wu Xian frowned.
Which staircase will lead them to their destination?
Are all of these stairs the correct way, or are none of them the correct way, or is only one the correct way?
Confused.
Suddenly, everyone heard a woman humming softly in the darkness.
"I am yours...she is your eyes...teeth, and flesh, and bones...they flow in your veins."
The humming tune is weird, the lyrics are illogical, the voice is high and low, and there is no rhythmic beauty at all.
Holding a torch, Wu Xian followed the sound and saw a woman sitting with her back to them at the entrance of a staircase.
The woman was wearing a mink coat and her body swayed slightly as she hummed.
Wu Xian's expression was slightly surprised.
He knew this woman. She was one of their original teammates, Bai Yuxin, who was ambushed by a madman in the crack cave and fell into the Valley of the Dead!
She was not dead and appeared here!
Wu Xian suppressed his doubts and observed and tested Bai Yuxin for a while.
His testing methods vary, including verbal soothing and stimulation, testing nerve reflexes, and violent tests such as slapping and covering the nose.
In the end, Wu Xian confirmed that Bai Yuxin had no injuries on her body, but her consciousness had disappeared. What was left here was just an empty shell that could sing.
After reaching this conclusion, everyone hesitated a little. They couldn't stay here for too long, they had to move on soon, so what should Bai Yuxin do?
The risk of taking her with me is too great. Not to mention that she needs someone to take care of her in her current condition, her appearance here may not be a coincidence, and she is very likely hiding a huge danger.
But it's not right to leave her here.
After all, she is a teammate, and she may be hiding some important clues.
So after thinking for a moment, Wu Xian took out the body bag he had obtained before, waved it lightly at Bai Yuxin, and her body was put into the bag!
“It actually fits in there.”
Wu Xian was shocked. He used the body bag to put the person in it just as a test on a whim, but he didn't expect it to be successful.
This means that according to the definition of a body bag, Bai Yuxin’s current state is that of a corpse!
After putting away Bai Yuxin's body, everyone prepared to start looking for the right path, but before the exploration even began, everyone's faces turned ugly again.
"I am your...eyes, and she is your teeth..."
Ming Yuxin had clearly been trapped, but the strange humming sound had not ended yet. Instead, it was getting louder and louder, as if many people were singing in chorus!
「Ahh……」
At the same time, the strange humming sound that everyone had heard on the stairs before appeared again!
The sound was extremely low, like the sound of a high-power subwoofer, causing Wu Xian and the others to feel numb physically.
The moment the voice appeared, Wu Xian saw a woman with a numb expression sitting in front of him!
The woman's sitting posture was the same as Bai Yuxin before, with a faint white light emanating from her body. Her body was shaking slightly, and half of the flesh on her face had fallen off, revealing the bones and half of her tongue in her mouth.
It wasn't just this woman. The room, which was empty just a moment ago, suddenly had hundreds of people in it!
These people were glowing faintly, their movements were in unison, and they were humming the song sung by Bai Yuxin in a whispering tone!
After two or three seconds, the strange sound stopped and the figures of these people gradually faded.
This means that these people are actually always there, but can only be seen by the public under certain circumstances.
The sudden appearance and disappearance of people looked a bit strange, but everyone's expressions were okay, after all, they already knew there was something around.
Now that I can see what these things look like with my own eyes, the sense of horror has been reduced a lot.
After these people disappear, everyone will have enough safe time to find a way to continue going down.
But just when everyone was about to breathe a sigh of relief, something unexpected happened again. All the figures sitting on the ground stood up!
The white light on their bodies became more intense, and their empty eyes were filled with black substance. Hundreds of eyes were staring at Wu Xian and the other twelve people.
The expressionless faces were replaced with crazy and intoxicated expressions. They waved their arms wildly and shouted to everyone in an almost crazy tone:
"The evil spirit is mine!"
"I won't let you take my work away from me!"
"No one can go down. This is mine. All mine..."
As these people shouted loudly, the entire room began to shake violently, as if there was an earthquake, and cracks began to appear on the stone floor.
"not good!"
Wu Xian was startled and realizing what was about to happen, he hurriedly ran towards the stairs he came from.
But he was still a step too slow, and all the stone slabs in the room shattered, and twelve people fell down without warning.
Falling into bottomless darkness...
