Chapter 11 Chapter Ten Into the Boundless Darkness

All the servants looked at each other after hearing what I said, but no one spoke. I was even more angry: "Among you, if none of you let go, you should call the police and wait for the police to go down!" The servant had a bitter face: "Mr. Ruan has ordered that the police are not allowed to be notified, only we are allowed to notify you!" I literally yelled, "So, why didn't you call me sooner?" After yelling like this, I realized that now, let alone yelling, even if I beat each of these dozen or so servants, it would be useless. Therefore, I immediately said: "Now, what are you waiting for, quickly pull up the rope!"

These servants obeyed the order to do things, and their hands and feet were quite fast. Two servants immediately turned the reel, and the rope was pulled up yard by yard. Come over the walkie-talkie. It was a radio walkie-talkie with very good performance, and the voice of the other party could be heard clearly from ten miles away. I called Ruan Yao's name to the walkie-talkie: "You can definitely hear my voice, Ruan Yao Yao, no matter what happened to you, even if you can't speak, find a way to make a little noise. Let me know how you are!" I flipped the switch and pressed the walkie-talkie to my ear, expecting nothing but the faintest sound.

However, nothing can be heard! This situation is very unusual for a walkie-talkie, and there is almost only one possibility that this situation will occur, that is, another walkie-talkie has been completely damaged! I tried for five minutes, then gave up trying, because if Ruan Yao could make any noise, then I would be able to hear it. Now, the situation is speculated according to common sense. The biggest possibility is that after 3,000 yards, Ruan Yao has not yet reached the bottom, but Ruan Yao fell, and he may fall another few hundred yards, or even deeper. However, the series of events are so mysterious and unpredictable, who can say that there will be no unexpected events?

I looked at the two servants who were turning the reel, and saw that the rope was only more than two hundred yards away. At this moment, a police car drove up, and Colonel Jack walked over with several police officers in strides. As he walked, the colonel yelled, "Ruan Yao, you come to accept the closure order!" I heard Colonel Jack yelling like that, and couldn't help laughing bitterly! It would be great if Ruan Yao could appear in front of our eyes now! Colonel Jack came up to him, only to realize that Ruan Yao was not there, and everyone had strange expressions on his face. He was stunned for a while, looking straight at me: "Why, what happened?"

I used the simplest words to describe what happened. Colonel Jack's complexion became extremely ugly. At this time, the rope was all twisted up, and the chair appeared at the entrance of the cave. That chair is a very ordinary chair with armrests, and there is a rather wide belt between the armrests on both sides.Ordinarily, an adult sitting on such a chair would not fall down, but Ruan Yao was gone! Jack repeatedly said: "Madman, Ruan Yao is a lunatic!" I looked at Colonel Jack: "Colonel, I'll go down and find him right away!" The colonel screamed: "No, I want to enforce the closure order, and no one is allowed to approach here!"

I still looked at him and said: "Colonel, I must go down. He may have just been in a little accident, and he didn't die. He needs my help urgently. I must go!" Colonel Jack shouted, "No!" I firmly said: "If you don't let me go down, I will testify in court in the future, and I will say that Ruan Yao's misfortune is due to your obstruction!" Colonel Jack was trembling with anger, and said loudly, "You donkey, I'm doing it for your own good!" I spread my hands: "I know, I can't help it, I can't just watch something happen to Ruan Yao, and I don't do anything, I can bring the best equipment, even a small parachute."

Jack froze for a moment before he yelled loudly. What Colonel Jack called at this time was not to prevent me from going down, but to loudly order his men to prepare things for me to go down the deep cave, including preparing small parachutes. Everyone outside the cave has been in a state of chaos. When I sat on the chair and prepared to enter the deep cave with all my equipment, it was already two hours later. Jack held my hand tightly, looked at me for a while, and then said: : "You're still a donkey, but a brave one." I smiled wryly: "You are wrong, I am not brave at all, I am just a donkey being carried on a shelf!"

Colonel Jack said: "Then you don't have to go down." I took a breath: "If Ruan Yao died on this chair and his body was pulled up, then I must advocate that the cave should be closed immediately, and this matter will never be mentioned again, but now, we can't know for sure. Ruan Yao's life and death, he may be in extreme danger and desperately need help, so I have to go down!" Colonel Jack sighed: "Yes, sometimes things are helpless." He paused for a moment, then said again: "Check what you should bring, is the flashlight easy to use?" I pressed the flashlight with a powerful battery, nodded, and he asked again, "Where's the walkie-talkie?"

I tried the walkie-talkie again, although I had tried it several times before. Colonel Jack untied his pistol again and gave it to me, saying: "Perhaps, you want to use a weapon!" I accepted his pistol, but smiled wryly: "If there is something down there, then it must not be able to be dealt with by ordinary weapons, don't you think?" Colonel Jack also smiled wryly: "I can only say, I wish you well!" Colonel Jack took a step back, shouting orders, and I held on to the arm of the chair, which was already going down. I looked up, and the light above was rapidly shrinking. I heard the voice of the colonel on the intercom, and he said: "Now, the depth of your cave is 150 yards, how are you?"

I used a powerful flashlight to shine light on all sides. The hole was not very big, it was slightly circular and about forty feet in diameter. The soil on the walls of the hole seemed to be nothing special. I raised my head, Nairan could see the light from the entrance of the cave, I replied: "I'm fine, I haven't found anything." My body continued to sink, and the voice of Colonel Jack continued to come from the intercom, telling me the current depth. When he said "a thousand yards", his voice was a bit hurried. I replied to him: "Until now, there is still no accident. This deep hole seems to have no bottom. The wall of the hole is no longer mud, but a kind of black rock, which is as flat as if it had been cut by an axe!"

While I was talking to Colonel Jack, I was constantly taking pictures with a camera equipped with an infrared device. I was on the intercom, and I could clearly hear Colonel Jack panting. He was constantly reporting the depth of my entry into the hole. When he reached 2,000 yards, he paused: "Do you think it's time to come up?" I said: "Of course not. When Ruan Yao disappeared, the depth was 3,000 yards. And now, I feel very good. There are no accidents, and I don't even have difficulty breathing." I heard Colonel Jack sigh, and then I went down again. Colonel Jack’s voice was just as clear, and I had reached a depth of 2,800 yards! This depth is actually impossible, but I did go deep into the ground and reached this depth, and, looking down, it seems to be far away from the bottom of the cave! I said to the walkie-talkie: "The rope is only 3,000 yards, let's talk about it after we let it go." Colonel Jack, as usual, will answer me immediately. But this time, after I spoke, there was no answer from him, and the chair I was sitting on stopped moving. I cannot estimate the exact time when I lost contact with Colonel Jack, but I heard his voice at 2,800 yards, and now that the chair has stopped, it must have been lowered at 3,000 yards. During these two or three minutes, I really didn't feel any change, but why did the walkie-talkie suddenly fail?I shone down with a flashlight and saw the bottom of the cave. The bottom of the hole was only about two yards from me, and I uttered a cry and jumped down. When I fell to the bottom of the cave, I turned to the walkie-talkie and shouted loudly: "Colonel, I have come to the bottom of the cave!" But I still didn't get an answer. I looked up, but I couldn't see the light at the entrance of the cave at all! Moreover, I saw that the chair that let me get off was going up rapidly. I yelled, "Hey, don't pull the chair!" My voice echoed loudly in this deep hole, but my words were useless, the chair was still rising rapidly, and in a blink of an eye, it was beyond the reach of my flashlight. out of range! I can imagine why the chair that I got off went up. I can imagine it. Of course, Colonel Jack was on it and suddenly realized that he had lost contact, so he hurriedly pulled the chair up. I yelled loudly a few times, and the echo shook my ears. I knew that the yelling was fruitless, and I thought, since I am at the bottom of the cave now, Ruan Yao’s experience may be the same as mine. I should be able to Found his. I shone around with a flashlight, but the light of the flashlight was rapidly weakening. There is absolutely no reason for this, the battery can supply 24 hours, but within half a minute, the flashlight has been so weak that only a faint yellow line remains, and then, there is no light at all, and it is as dark as paint. , surround me in the center. I panted quickly, moved my body quickly, and walked forward. After a while, my hands touched the wall of the cave. Although in the present situation I have touched the wall, it is of no help to me, and even if I were a gecko, I would not have been able to climb the wall of the three thousand yards. But no matter what, it always makes me feel a little dependent. I tried my best to calm myself down, thinking about what to do, I had no time to think about why the walkie-talkie failed, why the electricity disappeared, I just thought, what should I do? And at that moment, I felt the cave wall I was pressing on was moving slowly. It was a very slow movement, but I could definitely feel it: the cave wall was moving, or, rather than "moving", it was better to say that the cave wall was retracting inward, as if what I was pressing was not hard. The mountain rock, but something very soft like that. In an instant, my whole body was shaken. And almost at the same time, the bottom of the cave where I was standing also began to move, and the bottom of the cave was gradually arching upwards. As if I were in a terrible nightmare, I pressed the flashlight desperately, hoping to shine a little light so that I could see the situation in front of me. However, there was still darkness before my eyes, and the movement continued. I don't know if you have ever had this kind of nightmare experience. When you desperately want light, all the lights fail for no reason, leaving only darkness, and you sweat coldly in the darkness. However, although the nightmares are terrifying, they will wake up in shock after being covered in cold sweat, and after waking up, all the horrible dreams will become a thing of the past.But at this moment, I am not in a dream, but actually in this terrifying situation! The fatal thing was here, the movement at the bottom of the cave became more and more violent, and I could no longer stand still. Suddenly, a large part of my footing was arched, and my whole body moved forward and fell out. Originally, I was standing in front of the cave wall. When my body fell forward, my hands naturally pressed forward, hoping to press on the cave wall to stabilize my body. However, when I pressed it, it was empty! The cave wall in front of me disappeared, my body fell straight forward, and then I rolled and fell straight down. It was an indescribable feeling. I felt that I was not in a In the space, falling downwards, I seem to be sinking in a very thin substance. The resistance of that substance seems to be similar to that of water, but I can float in the water, but now I can only fall downwards . Moreover, my breathing was not disturbed, I just fell down, and I screamed, and I could hear my own screams, the voice sounded muffled, like calling out from under the blanket! It was an extremely terrifying period of time. I don't know how long this period of time was, because no one could still be calm enough to calculate the time and how deep he had fallen in such a situation. Thankfully, the falling stopped. I fell on a pile of very soft things, and there was still darkness in front of my eyes. When I grabbed the soft thing and started to stand up, I felt that the pile of soft things was rapidly hardening. I stood still, I'm a person with a lot of imagination, and after I knew that Ruan Yao had gone down this deep hole but never came up, I had made all kinds of speculations. However, now, I can't imagine where I am, to such an unimaginable level, I don't even have any imagination at all! I stood, panting heavily, and then, I noticed that the place under my feet was moving. This time, it was real movement, and I was transported forward as if I were standing on a conveyor belt. In this situation, I had to resign myself to my fate. I made a last effort to speak to Colonel Jack, but the intercom kept failing. But I gradually heard a sound, I discerned this sound, it was like the sound of gurgling water. In the current situation, even if I heard the sound of water, it was enough to give me some confidence. I immediately thought that after I descended to the bottom of the cave, everything I encountered, since I was "moving", then, There must be a force that makes me "move". And this kind of force that makes me "move" doesn't seem like natural force at all! Of course, it is hard to imagine if there is someone controlling a force to make me "move" in such a deep underground, but the fact is true, there is indeed a force that makes me move! I tried my best to calm down, and said loudly, "I'm already here, no matter what kind of people you are, please show up!" My voice is no longer dull, I know that I am in a large space, and the sound of gurgling water is getting louder and louder, and I also stopped. When my body stopped and was not moved any more, I could feel water droplets splashing on my body. I slowly squatted down and stretched my hand forward. My hand immediately touched a torrent. I was busy Withdrawing his hands back, he yelled into the darkness again: "I think there must be someone here. Maybe it's not very appropriate for me to use the name 'human', but there must be creatures here who can answer me. Please speak up and tell me what to do." manage?" After I had said these few words, I at first had no hope of getting an answer at all. However, my voice just stopped. Amidst the gurgling water, I heard a sigh-like sound behind me. I turned around immediately, the surroundings were still pitch black, however, I felt that besides me, there was something else in the darkness. This kind of feeling can be said to be one of the animal instincts of human beings. It does not need to be seen or touched, but it is real and has such a feeling. I took a breath: "Who, Ruan Yao, is it you?" I heard a sound similar to a sigh again, and then, it seemed that something was rushing towards me—this is also a feeling of animal instinct, I felt something rushing towards me, and I quickly stretched out my hands, Think about this thing so it doesn't hit me.Immediately, I touched the thing with both hands and held him up. As soon as I held onto this thing, I immediately realized that it was a person! I was startled for a moment, the man was still about to fall, I held him up, I touched his hand, his wrist, and also touched his wrist, where he was wearing a watch. My hand trembled, and I touched a square object around the man's waist. I was really surprised. It was a radio walkie-talkie, and I immediately knew who I was supporting. It was Ruan Yao. Immediately I stretched out my hand to feel his breath again. He was obviously not dead, but judging from the weakness of his body, he must be unconscious. I supported him and calmed down: "Thank you for returning my friend to me, what are you—" I originally wanted to ask "who are you", but I retracted the last word "person". I got no answer, but I heard that sigh for the third time. Then, where I was standing, it started to move again, and I was sent forward like I was on a conveyor belt. After I was sent out for quite a while, Ruan Yao groaned, and I hurriedly said, "Ruan Yao, how are you?" I heard Ruan Yao's panting, he asked me in the dark like a sleepwalker, "Who are you?" I said, "I'm Wesley, I'm coming down to find you, what do you think?" Ruan Yao straightened up, and at this moment, our bodies rose up, as if we were in some kind of thin object. Ruan Yao was panting heavily all the time, and after a while, all movements stopped. Ruan Yao and I were both standing. Suddenly, something bumped towards us. I immediately reached out and grabbed it. In an instant, I couldn't help but screamed in ecstasy, and said, "Ruan Yao, we can go up." !" What I grabbed was a chair! I hurriedly helped Ruan Yao to sit on the chair, and I grabbed the armrest of the chair. After waiting for about half an hour, the chair began to go up. I could tell that the chair had been lowered by Colonel Jack, who must have hoped to have the opportunity to lift me up again. However, during this period of time, no matter what questions I asked Ruan Yao, he just kept silent. Not long after the chair started to go up, I heard the colonel's urgent and anxious call from the intercom. He was calling my name and kept calling. I immediately replied: "I heard, Colonel, I'm fine, and I also found Ruan Yao!" Colonel Jack’s voice came out again, and I could hear him ordering people to pull us up quickly, while saying, “What’s the matter with you? You’ve stayed down there for so long!” I could only smile wryly: "In order to find Ruan Yao, I was at the bottom of the cave──" I just said this, Ruan Yao suddenly whispered: "Don't say anything!" Ruan Yao's voice was extremely low, I was stunned for a while, and immediately changed my words: "I have been unconscious at the bottom of the cave for quite a long time, I think Ruan Yao must be the same as me, but I'm fine now!" The chair continued to rise, and I could see the light at the entrance of the cave. I gasped for breath. After a while, we had already ascended to the entrance of the cave. When the light allowed me to see the situation in front of me, the first thing I did was, He just looked at Ruan Yao. I saw that Ruan Yao's face was surprisingly pale, but his eyes were quite bright, but his expression was full of doubts. Colonel Jack really complained to us, and then announced that no one was allowed to enter the vicinity of the cave before leaving. Ruan Yao and I entered the room together, Ruan Yao drank heavily at first, and then said: "What happened to you?" I thought for a while: "I haven't encountered anything, but I think there is something down there." Ruan Yao filled my wine glass, took another big sip, and listened to my story about what happened to me at the bottom of the cave. After I finished speaking, he said: "Then, I'm different from you, Wesley. I really can't believe it, but it's true!" I immediately became nervous and said, "Did you see them?" Ruan Yao was stunned for a moment, but he obviously understood my question.It is difficult for others to understand this question, but from Ruan Yao's expression, I can see that he understands what I mean by "they"? Of course, even I don't know what "they" represent when I ask this question, but what is certain is that there must be something under that deep hole--(I can't think of what to use What noun), this kind of "what" has a super power, which makes me be moved at the bottom of the cave, and when I meet Ruan Yao, I can leave with him. After hearing my question, Ruan Yao became very nervous. His hand holding the wine glass was trembling slightly. He said, "No, I haven't seen them. We mean—" When he spoke here, he paused for a moment, apparently not knowing how to proceed. I prompted him, saying, "You mean, you haven't seen anyone, or any creature?" Ruan Yao kept nodding his head: "Yes, but I saw some incredible things." I immediately became nervous: "What is it?" Ruan Yao frowned and stammered a bit: "What I saw may not be called a thing, it's just a phenomenon──" I became impatient: "There is no need to study the nouns, what did you see at the bottom of the cave, tell me quickly!" Ruan Yao took a breath: "Let's start from the beginning. It's easier for you to understand. I went down the deep hole and everything I encountered at the beginning was the same as you. I moved involuntarily in the dark. After I stopped, I heard running water."
