Not long after, Gu Chen called again.
Looking at Gu Chen's phone call, I was overjoyed suddenly, but then sank again. Now that Gu Chen called, he must have discovered something. But it is not certain whether this discovery is joy or sorrow. There are only two possibilities for Gu Chen's call. One, Guan Zengbin is fine, and the other is that Guan Zengbin is dead.
The phone kept ringing. I looked at the green button and dared not press it for a long time.
People who live in this world will die one day, which is the normal state of people. We live in this world just to say goodbye to a person around us. We bid farewell to our childhood friends, we bid farewell to the little girl we had a crush on, we bid farewell to our college classmates, we bid farewell to our parents, and our lovers.
Finally, we are left alone, and then die alone, saying goodbye to this short and lonely life.
But on the road of life, there will always be friends who don't want to leave, lovers who don't want to leave, relatives who don't want to leave. And I can no longer tell what kind of feeling I have about Guan Zengbin. Is it love, friendship, or family affection.
No one is born to be close to others. I always like to be alone, but before I know it, Guan Zengbin has become an indispensable part of my life. Finally someone walked into my life, but will I lose it in a short time
After taking a few deep breaths, I pressed the button and put the phone to my ear.
Except for the sound of cars driving fast, there was silence all around, and the other side was silent for a moment, and then said: "Wu Meng, it turns out that this tombstone can be moved. After we removed this tombstone, we found the inside of the tombstone." There is a staircase. Now we are going down, there is no signal underground, no matter what happens, you can’t get in touch, don’t worry, if you can make it here, come down, if we come out first, I will call you.”
Gu Chen and others are going to go down to search, and we still have about two hours to reach Xingdong Village.
"Got it, be careful." I said slowly.
"Understood." Gu Chen said.
Then, the opposite party hung up the phone.
I closed my eyes. Since last night, my nerves have been tense. At this moment, I just feel exhausted and want to sleep.
Whether two hours is long or short is a philosophical question. When we are playing games, two hours is extremely short. When we are taking exams, we feel that these two hours are extremely long. And when I woke up alone, I realized that we had already arrived in Xingdong Village.
I looked at my mobile phone, there was no call from Gu Chen, which means that Gu Chen is still underground at the moment.
Thinking of this, I called the village chief. The village chief just experienced a thrilling scene in the early hours of this morning. The first thing he said when he received my call was: "Brother Wu, have you caught the murderer?"
I said: "The murderer was indeed caught, so I want you to help watch the murderer."
"Me?" the village head said.
I hurriedly said: "Look for the young man in your village, it's time to get up now, hurry up, come to the foot of the mountain."
As I said that, I turned my head and said to the rest of the people: "You wait here for the village chief, and the rest of you will go in with me."
After all, I didn't want to stay any longer, so I took the remaining two people and walked up. When I came to the mountain, I followed the path before and saw that the tombstone had been pushed away. Use a flashlight to shine inside, and you can see a long step.
We looked at each other, and for a moment, we all walked on. This is a very long step. Going down the steps, there are more than 20 steps. The further you go down, the warmer the underground is. I breathed a sigh of relief. If it was this temperature, Guan Zengbin would not have been frozen to death when he was underground.
The steps are not neatly built, but they are solid.
We finally walked down the stairs and shone around with a flashlight, only to realize that this is a very wide space. It seems that it can stop several heavy vehicles. The ground and walls were plastered with cement, but I don't know why such a large space was built.
The range that the Spike Flashlight can illuminate is very wide, but there are many forked roads that can be seen in the distance.
I looked at these fork roads, and there were no obvious signs. No wonder Gu Chen hasn't come out from here for more than an hour, and that means that what the uncle-type personality said before is likely to be true, he really doesn't know this place. But, what on earth is this place used for repair by the murderer
And who is the personality who built this underground space
I looked at the four forks, and there were only three of us.
"Let's go." I said: "Be careful, move separately, if you encounter other forks in the road, come out, understand, don't detour yourself into it."
Several people looked at me, wondering if they should listen to me.
From the eyes of several people, I can see a different emotion, which is like a kind of spying on others. I understood in my heart that when I was underground in Dongxing City, it was very likely that Xiao Liu saw my movements. But Xiao Liu didn't choose to say it, but chose to let people watch me. Is Xiao Liu suspicious of me? I suddenly remembered that after I went to Zhao Mingkun's appointment that day, Xiao Liu came back after I came back.
Does Xiao Liu know anything, and how will he choose
I just feel that everyone is mixed together at this moment, like fish in a fish pond in muddy water, everyone can feel who exists, but no one can see who.
Some fish swim carefree in the pond, completely unaware that a storm is coming. And some fishes vaguely discovered that something was wrong, and hid it in advance. And some fish have hibernated from the beginning, waiting for the storm to come. However, some fish have shown incomparable domineering from the very beginning, commanding the overall situation.
And more fish are just spectators in this pond.
And me, which one will it be
I knew several people were monitoring my activities, so I said, "There are people whose lives are in danger, now is not the time to do this."
With that said, I walked directly into a fork in the road.
I looked back, the three of them looked at each other, and the other two chose to walk into different forks.
The fork in the road I chose, if I illuminate it with a flashlight, I can't see the end at a glance. Such a dark and cramped passageway makes people feel a little scared without realizing it.
While thinking, he walked into the passage. After walking for a while, the front suddenly became clear.
Here is another space, but when I walked into this space, I only felt a cold breath coming out. It was a clammy feeling that reminded me of my previous winters in the South. Some people say that the cold in the north is a physical attack, it is dry and cold, and it hits you directly. But the coldness in the south is a magical attack. Although the temperature is not as low as that in the north, it is the kind of coldness that invades the bone marrow.
And this kind of coldness shows that there is water vapor in it.
I closed my eyes and remembered the map I saw when I was looking for the old city of Dongxing City. Next to Dongxing Village, there is a Xingdong River. It's just that this river is not a big river, and there is no way for water transportation. This river is only about ten meters deep, and it is very turbid, with a lot of sediment.
I estimated that when I left just now, I felt that I was going down all the time, and this meant that I was constantly going deep underground. Based on the 20 steps just now, I should be at a depth of more than ten meters underground. The tombstone is on the mountainside, which means that I should be deep in the mountain. And I have been going down all the time, and I have walked a few meters deep. At this moment, I should be completely in the mountain.
And the moisture I feel should be the hidden river of Xingdong River, that is to say, if I break the wall here, the dark river will probably flow in. Although the power of this river is not strong, it can also be known that the impact is also great.
I touched the surrounding walls and felt extremely cool. I put my ears on it, and I could hear the subtle sound of water flowing by.
I frowned, why is this underground space made so large, and there are many forks.
At this moment, I suddenly remembered the countless forked roads when I was in Linfen's tomb. These forked roads should be used to confuse us. There must be only one right road here. And I don't know at the moment whether this is the right path.
I used the flashlight to shine on other places, only to find that there were also several forks ahead.
After thinking about it, I used the stones on the ground to draw a unique sign on a side road, and then walked in.
But after not walking for a long time, I heard the sound of someone running in front of me.
"Who?" I asked.
But no one answered, only the sound of "da da" running could be heard.
"Who are you!" I yelled again, but the man running in the distance still didn't answer me.
If the other party is also one of our own, they will definitely stop when they hear my shout. But after this person heard my shout, he ran even faster.
Thinking of this, I immediately chased after it, but at this moment, I heard a sound coming from a distance.
The sound of "touch" spread far away in this silent space.
And I could hear that the sound was coming from not far in front of me.
What happened
