Chapter 22 Chapter 22 Beware of the Third Person

"Help me over there." Long Chuxia said suddenly. "Mr. Long!" Zhu Yikai wanted to stop him, but Long Chuxia shook his head: "It's okay, help me there." Zhu Yikai had no choice but to help her to the TV. A picture appeared, and the signal was still not good, but it could be vaguely seen that it was a local TV station broadcasting news, and the date displayed was August 22. "Now broadcast a piece of local news...the teachers and students who disappeared in Lujingshan on the 17th...one was rescued...the other was killed..." The screen jumped, and the snowflakes resumed. The two looked at each other. Today is August 17 But it was August 22 on the TV. Could it be that this is the future news? The teachers and students who disappeared on the 17th, aren’t they the ones you are talking about?In other words, they will be rescued after five days, but only one person will be rescued.

Another person was killed, by whom?Why was he killed? Long Chuxia hooked his lips and said with a smile: "I thought there was some clever trick, so it turned out that they wanted to provoke us to kill each other." Zhu Yikai looked at the water cup on the bed: "There are two cups. Could it be that there were also two people who lived here before, and were forced to kill each other to death by this TV?" Long Chuxia sneered and said, "Stupid, not worthy of pity." Zhu Yikai was speechless. At this moment, Long Chuxia suddenly raised his head: "The bat has moved."

The wind swept over the head, and the bat fluttered its wings. Long Chuxia hurriedly said: "Quick, keep up." The two hurried away, and the TV screen jumped again, and suddenly a picture covered with dense snowflakes appeared. On the top is a ferocious and smiling face. The cave was deep and long, Zhu Yikai felt like walking through hell, Long Chuxia paused: "Did you hear any sound?" Zhu Yikai pricked up his ears, and the surroundings were extremely quiet, so quiet that only the sound of water droplets and his own heartbeat could be heard.After listening for a while, he shook his head and said, "Nothing."

"Really?" Long Chuxia was thoughtful, "Maybe I heard it wrong." The two walked with the bat for a while, and Long Chuxia's face changed suddenly, "No, there is really something here!" Before the words fell , I heard a click, and then the sound of flapping wings and teeth chewing bones.She gasped and said, "My bat was eaten." There was a rustling overhead, and it sounded like a giant centipede was sprinting across the stalactites, and there was more than one.The breathing of the two began to become short, Zhu Yikai put his arms around Long Chuxia's waist, hugged him horizontally, and ran away.The ground under his feet was uneven, but he ran with ease, the sound of countless feet squirming gradually faded away, and the world returned to deathly silence, he finally stopped, panting heavily: "Mr. Long, go back and get the beer!" Quit it."

Long Chuxia didn't speak, and stared straight ahead with a pair of eyes. "Look." Zhu Yikai looked up, goosebumps all over his body suddenly appeared, a hole like a dog hole, an old TV, ran around, and they returned to that room. "Impossible." Zhu Yikai muttered to himself, and Long Chuxia said with a wry smile: "It's nothing impossible, we're lost. Now that we've come, let's rest easy. You're tired. Let's sleep here and think about it after we've recuperated." way out." At this point, there was really no other way, he could only hold the teacher and crawl into the hole, there was a strange smell in the air, like dried bacon, both of them's stomachs growled.Long Chuxia took a picture of the source of the smell with a flashlight, and was shocked. On the bed that was empty, there were now two people lying there, no, two corpses.

Lying down is not a good image, because one of them was lying down, the other was riding on his body, with each other's necks stuck, the upper one stabbed the lower one's chest with a dagger, and the upper one had half of his head collapsed. These are two human beings. Zhu Yikai suddenly understood where the smell of bacon came from, his stomach began to churn again, his face was ashen, he covered his mouth and came out of the hole to vomit.Long Chuxia's complexion was not good. She looked around carefully, and she was sure that this was the cave she stayed in before. She couldn't help wondering, where did these two corpses come from?You can't come here by yourself, can you?

The TV was still on, she adjusted the channel, and it was still snowflakes. She turned around the TV again and saw something on the ground, a faint smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.Just when Zhu Yikai came back from vomiting, she heard her say, "This is not the cave from before." Zhu Yikai was taken aback: "Why?" "The location of the plug." Long Chuxia said, "I remember that in that cave, there was a small depression next to the plug, and some water accumulated, but there is no here." "what do you mean--" Long Chuxia's face turned cold: "Aside from us, there is another person in this cave. This person hid in the dark and moved the TV, water cups and other things here, creating the illusion that we have returned to the original point. And those two corpses were originally In this cave."

Zhu Yikai frowned and said, "Why did he do this? It took such a lot of trouble, is it just to scare us?" Long Chuxia was silent for a while, carefully observing the two figures. They were wearing blue cloth clothes from the 1980s. One older, one younger.She fumbled carefully in Renba's pocket for a while, and took out a piece of dark yellow paper from the old man's trousers pocket. It is said to be paper, but it is rough to the touch, more like air-dried sheepskin. It looks very old. A symbol was drawn with a pen on the leather. The ink soaked into the leather and became darker due to the age. dark.Zhu Yikai came over to take a look: "Is it a seal character?"

"In seal script, the word is 'it'." Zhu Yikai was secretly startled, it refers to the animal, the word refers to the giant python, or... Thinking of the many-legged insect crawling among the stalactites, his scalp tingled for a while. "However, in divination, this word has other meanings." Long Chuxia looked up at him with a dark look in his eyes, "Be wary of the existence of third parties." Zhu Yikai's face changed suddenly. If this piece of parchment was the last words left by Ren La, who was the third party he was talking about?What is he lurking in this cave, exactly?What is the relationship between those corpses all over the mountains and plains and him?

The sound of footsteps, the sound of heavy footsteps, was particularly ear-piercing in this dead and silent cave. Every nerve in the two of them was tense, and the sound of footsteps was like a heavy hammer hitting their chests.Zhu Yikai turned off the flashlight, stood in front of Long Chuxia, and took out the stun gun from his backpack. His eyes were fixed on the entrance of the cave, and his temples were dripping with cold sweat. Come, who will it be? is a person?still…… "Tap", the sound of footsteps stopped outside the door, Zhu Yikai's heart beat into his throat, and the palms of his hands holding the stun gun were covered with cold sweat.There was a slight rubbing sound from the entrance of the cave, his expression changed, and the man came in.

Be the first to strike first. The electro-acupuncture was shot, but missed, Zhu Yikai only felt the wind sweeping in front of him, he was shocked, he got short, and dodged a heavy punch.The man didn't intend to let him go, and he pressed on every step of the way. He always felt a little weird when he fought against that man, but the man was very fast, so he couldn't allow him to think too much, and his mind was only dodging and attacking. , It was a bit difficult. Suddenly the light of the flashlight flashed, and Long Chuxia said in shock: "Sima Fanti?" The two who fought were stunned, their bodies staggered, and stopped a few steps away from each other.Sima Fanti saw the two of them clearly, and was both surprised and delighted: "Why are you here?" "Of course I came to look for you." Long Chuxia glanced at him dissatisfied, and he smiled awkwardly: "I dived from an underground river and entered this cave. I wanted to come back to inform you, but I didn't expect to be attacked. " "What attack?" "It's a huge myriad. When I was fighting with it, the oxygen tank broke. I wanted to find a way out, but I didn't expect that I can't even use a compass in this damn place." Sima Fan cursed, "What, Have you encountered that bug too?" Zhu Yikai patiently explained the ins and outs of the future, Sima Fanti laughed at his cleanliness without exception, and then Sima Fanti took out a dead fish from his arms, Long Chuxia asked: "This is an ordinary silver carp , where did you find it?" "I found a stream ahead." Sima Fanti said, "There is this kind of fish in it, and its eyes are normal, which means it doesn't live in the dark river all year round." The two were overjoyed. There were ordinary fish in the cave, which were probably washed in from the outside. If they followed the stream to find the source, they might be able to get out. Sima Fanti picked up Long Chuxia on his back and led Zhu Yikai to the depths of the cave. After walking for about half an hour, he saw a deep pool and a stream flowing into it.The three of them walked along the stream, and the road was a bit rough. Zhu Yikai held up the flashlight and carefully observed the stalactites around him. He always had a strange sixth sense: in the gaps of those stalactites, it was dark and dark, as if a huge hole would emerge at any moment. Here come the myriads. "Teacher, there is something here." He said suddenly, and the flashlight stopped on a stalactite on the left, and the two of them gathered around, and saw the word "it" engraved on it. Long Chuxia reached out and touched it: "It's a little fuzzy, it seems to be quite old." "Is it left by that person?" "So, he also found this stream." Long Chuxia pondered, "Then why didn't he go out?" "Don't worry about it so much for now." Sima Fanti said, "Let's go out first." After walking for a while, Zhu Yikai couldn't help looking at his watch. It was already the morning of the 18th. They had walked along the stream for two hours. How long is this cave? "Teacher," he said in surprise, "there is another mark." It is still a seal character, which seems to be carved out of stone, and every stroke and every painting are carved into wood three points, as if with uncontrollable hatred. Long Chuxia was fascinated by the seal characters, and Sima Fanti was a little impatient, urging him: "Let's go, Chu Xia's wound has already started to inflame, and it must be healed quickly." Long Chuxia remained silent, and the three of them walked for a while. Long Chuxia said: "Sima, you are tired too, why don't you let Kaizi carry me for a while." Sima Fan couldn't hold back her, so he had to ask Zhu Yikai to replace her.Long Chuxia lay on the boy's back, and suddenly whispered in his ear in a voice that was barely audible: "Do you still remember the meaning of that seal character?" Zhu Yikai was taken aback, turned his head slightly to look at her, and she continued, "Beware of the existence of a third party." Zhu Yikai's heart sank, and he distanced himself from Sima Fanti who was walking in front, and said in a low voice: "Teacher, He's the boss." "The real Sima Fanti will not hurt us." Long Chuxia said, "However, are you sure he is the real Sima Fanti?" Zhu Yikai took a deep breath. This Sima Fanti's appearance was indeed very strange. He appeared as soon as the talisman that was looking for him was eaten, as if it was premeditated. "I have a way to tell if he's real or not." Long Chuxia whispered, took out a talisman paper from his backpack, bit his finger, and drew a talisman on it, "Take a chance and stick this on his wearing On the hand with the chain, if he is really Sima Fanti, his skin will be burned." "What is this?" Zhu Yikai was a little curious, but Long Chuxia didn't explain, just said: "Just do as I tell you." When Zhu Yikai took the talisman paper, she touched Long Chuxia's hand, and her skin was terribly hot. "You have a fever?" "It's okay, I can take it." The cave is getting deeper and deeper, Zhu Yikai began to wonder what is the end of this road, is he escaping from the sky, or falling into hell? "Boss," Zhu Yikai called out to Sima Fanti, "Teacher has a fever, please take a rest." Sima Fanti turned his head to look at him, then at Long Chuxia, and nodded.Zhu Yikai gently placed Long Chuxia on the side of the road, dipped a towel in water, and applied it to her forehead: "Boss, do you have alcohol?" Sima Fanti handed over the alcohol, and he took the opportunity to hide the talisman in his hand, took his hand. Sima Fanti's hand seemed to be scorched, making the sound of strong acid corroding the skin, and bursts of green smoke. He let out a loud cry, and waved his hand to hit Zhu Yikai's chest.Zhu Yikai flew out immediately.He used 80% of his strength for this blow, and Zhu Yikai hit the stalactite hard, smashing a stone into pieces. "What are you doing?" Sima Fanti was furious, and turned his head to glare at Long Chuxia, "Are you crazy?" Zhu Yikai felt as if his internal organs had been rummaged, every organ was turned upside down, he struggled to get up, looked at the angry boss, secretly surprised, Mr. Long was wrong?Is he really Sima Fanti? "Don't be angry," Long Chuxia forced a smile, with a trace of reproach in his tone, "I'm just in case." Sima Fanti glanced at her coldly and said, "Believe me now?" Long Chuxia nodded, stretched out his hand towards him, and said softly, "Of course I believe it. Is the injury serious? Let me see." Sima Fanti was a little moved, and his face softened.Long Chuxia held his hand and carefully looked at the scars on it. A large piece of skin had been burned, black and red mixed together, and rotted into one piece. It looked very scary.She said softly, "Does it hurt?" It was the first time Zhu Yikai heard her so gentle, his whole body trembled, and goose bumps fell all over the floor.But Sima Fanti seemed to be very useful, and his voice softened: "Fortunately, just bandage it up. Let me carry you. Let's get out as soon as possible." Long Chuxia nodded with a smile, supported his hand to stand up, and the moment she got up, she suddenly stretched out her hand and hit his throat.Sima Fanti didn't expect her to attack suddenly, he couldn't dodge in time, and was hit straight.He let out a low muffled grunt, and backed away hastily.Ordinary people would immediately faint after being hit by this blow, but he supported himself, his face ashen. Long Chuxia didn't give him a chance to fight back, so he took out a stun gun and hit him on the leg. He let out a low cry and knelt on his knees , trembling all over. "The magic talisman was taught to me by Sima. He once said that if you find something wrong, you can try it." Long Chuxia said in a deep voice, "You are not Sima at all, who are you?" Sima Fanti suddenly burst out laughing and raised his head with a ferocious expression. "Who says I'm not Sima Fanti? At least, this body belongs to him." Zhu Yikai endured the pain and came over, only to find that there seemed to be something wriggling in his throat. Sima Fan opened his mouth, and an insect head as big as a baby's fist stuck out. It's a centipede! The faces of the two of them changed suddenly. Sima Fanti grabbed the electric needle, pulled it out suddenly, and threw it with his hands, hitting Long Chuxia right on the body.Long Chuxia screamed loudly and fell to the ground. Zhu Yikai rushed to rescue him. Long Chuxia raised his arm and pressed it on his chest: "Go quickly and find Xiaozhou. She is the nemesis of worms." After the story was finished, Bai Xiaozhou paused for Zhu Yikai's hand that applied the hemostatic patch, his face turned slightly pale. "You mean, the boss is being controlled by that centipede? Isn't that bad news for Mr. Long?" Zhu Yikai grabbed her wrist and said, "Xiaozhou, come with me quickly, let's rescue the teacher." Bai Xiaozhou's brows frowned into a big "Chuan", as if he was very embarrassed.Zhu Yikai asked anxiously: "Why are you still hesitating?" Bai Xiaozhou had a bitter face, and it took him a long time to murmur: "I don't know how to dive..." Zhu Yikai straightened up and said solemnly: "There is still Teacher Long's hair in the research institute, maybe we can find another entrance." At Bai Xiaozhou's insistence, Zhu Yikai went to the hospital for a full-body examination. Fortunately, the wounds were all skin and flesh, and no internal organs were injured.He didn't want to rest for a moment, so he went back to Zhu's house and borrowed the pair of golden maces. The golden maces were four feet long, had no blade, and had four edges.This kind of ancient weapon is very heavy, and non-strong people can't use it freely, and its lethality is very impressive. Even through the armor, it can kill people alive. It is a family heirloom of the Zhu family.Qu Siqi also found the broken bronze sword from the storage room of the research institute. The body of the sword was covered with copper rust, and the blade was so blunt that it might not even be able to cut through tofu. But Bai Xiaozhou had seen its power before. They couldn't have survived last year's battle royale. Looking at the two teenagers who were facing a formidable enemy, Bai Xiaozhou felt a little uneasy. What was waiting for them in that Lujing Mountain? It had been three days since they arrived at the foot of Lujing Mountain. There had just been a heavy rain, and the mountain road was so rugged that they couldn't walk by car, so the three had to get out of the car and walk.Qu Siqi ignited the talisman, and a white bird flew into the sky, hovering above their heads. The three felt a little uneasy. If there was no exit from the cave, the talisman would turn back to its original form of soot, and it would be even more difficult to find Long Chuxia. The three of them were as anxious as ants on a hot pot, but the damned bird seemed to deliberately oppose them. It flew around slowly twice, and then stopped on the branch for a while. Zhu Yikai never forgot to hurt Qu Siqi: "What is it really like?" What kind of talisman does a person with a man have, it won't think he's here for a trip, will he?" Qu Siqi wanted to tear his face off, and stared at the spell with hatred: Don't fight me again, be careful that I will roast you and eat you.The white bird seemed to feel his threat, flapped its wings, and flew towards the mountains and forests. Qu Siqi was overjoyed, glanced at Zhu Yikai triumphantly, and rushed after him immediately.Bai Xiaozhou looked at Zhu Yikai who was having a hard time walking, and was a little worried: "Kaizi, are your injuries okay? Why don't you wait for Qumeishan at the foot of the mountain, and Siqi and I can go." Zhu Yikai turned around and smiled at her: "It's a little hurt, it's not a problem, there is no food in the cave, every second is precious." Bai Xiaozhou hadn't seen him show such a gentle smile for a long time, and suddenly felt a world away feeling.Seeing that the two of them were in love with each other and their eyes were full of affection, Qu Siqi's face was so smelly that it could suffocate flies, and he pulled Zhu Yikai's arm: "Like a woman, this little injury is still whining, come, let me help you." Zhu Yikai squinted at him, smiled and said nothing. The mountains and forests are so quiet that you can't even hear the chirping of birds and insects, only the rustling of leaves. Because of this, a little noise is particularly clear and piercing.Bai Xiaozhou suddenly paused, looked around, and there was a bush shaking not far away, she frowned: "There is someone!" The two teenagers were startled, quickly pulled out their stun guns, let Bai Xiaozhou stay where he was, and carefully outflanked Bai Xiaozhou from two angles.There are fallen leaves and dead branches everywhere on the ground, and they rustle when stepped on.Zhu Yikai took off the golden mace wrapped in white cloth from his back, and was about to stretch it over to break open the branches, but saw the bushes shake for a while, and a pure white animal jumped out from it. Into the forest, scurrying among the bushes, and disappeared in the blink of an eye. "It turned out to be a rabbit." Qu Siqi breathed a sigh of relief, but Zhu Yikai said, "Have you ever seen a rabbit this big? It's a fox." Bai Xiaozhou took a sharp breath, fox?The weird dreams I had in the past few days flashed across my mind. The mother in the dream smiled sweetly, with nine tails unfolding behind her like a peacock spreading its tail. Could it be that just now... No, it's impossible, not to mention that my mother can't be a nine-tailed fox, even if it was, the one just now has only one tail.There are so many animals in the deep mountains and old forests, it must be because she misses her parents so much that she has such an illusion. The two youths didn't take the white fox that appeared suddenly to heart and continued on their way.The bird seemed to lead the three of them around in the forest, and they didn't see a cave when they turned around.Gradually, it was getting late, and it was extremely dangerous to walk in the deep mountains at night. I don't know what kind of beasts and spirits are hidden in this weird mountain forest. The three of them discussed for a long time, and decided to take back the magic talisman and find a place to live for a while. Night. The last time Zhu Yikai came, it was the road led by Mount Qumei, and he passed a hut halfway up the mountain. It is said that the forest guards lived there, but after the forest fire, the forest guards withdrew and it became vacant.Based on his memory, he searched half of the hill, and finally saw a brick house, which was a small two-story building.But both Qu Siqi and Bai Xiaozhou looked surprised and looked at him strangely: "Didn't you say it was abandoned? Why is the light on?" It was already dark, and the house was brightly lit with fluorescent lights.
