Haunted Houses’ Chronicles

Chapter 233: stairs

Views:

When I looked at it, my sight was blocked by dense tree trunks, and I couldn't see anything.

My heart started to feel a little fuzzy. This Yin River is a legendary thing, and now we have found it. I wonder how many people will believe me when I tell people about this experience in the future

follow me. Wan Jinrong walked forward without looking back.

After walking another fifty or so meters, we finally came out of the woods, and our eyes suddenly opened up. We were standing on a natural embankment almost two meters high.

In front of us is the endless water, the water surface is as calm as a mirror, and there is no wave in sight. You can't even be sure it's fluid.

My heart beat up to my throat, this kind of shock has nothing to do with Yinhe.

I have never seen such an expanse of water, and I even have the urge to kneel, to put it shamefully.

This piece of water exudes an oppressive majesty, which is completely different from the sea.

Looking left and right, there is nothing on the river bank, and there is also no end in sight.

I can't measure the length and width of this river at all, and the only thought in my mind is that I may never want to see this river again in this life.

It took me a while to say a word, is this Yinhe

Wan Jinrong nodded with a smile, it was the same as you when I saw it for the first time, so don't take it too seriously. Mortals are doomed to be small.

Wan Jinrong leaned down, pointed to the direction on the other side of the river, and said, that is where we are going. If we don’t go today, we will go sooner or later.

I followed his fingers and saw nothing but water.

It was very dark at this time, but the visibility was surprisingly good. The strange thing is that not only is there no moonlight in the sky, there is not even a single star. Let me have some doubts, this river will shine by itself. It's just that this kind of light is special and won't be noticeable.

I took a deep breath, and there was no smell in the air that is unique to the water.

I said, then we are going to cross the river now? Are you looking for a ferryman

No, we can only walk along the river. Remember, stay away from the river. No one can save you if you fall.

Wan Jinrong tried a few times on the ground with his feet, and the soil was very firm, so he started to move towards one side.

I walked more cautiously behind, and suddenly I remembered a saying, as the saying goes, there is no way to keep your shoes wet when you often stand by the river. Thinking of this sentence now is scarier than the fucking river.

This walk completely ignores time. Every now and then I stop and look around. Anyway, there is only one way to walk along the river bank, so you don't have to worry about getting lost.

I haven't seen anything special, but I found that the water is not only infinitely long, but even the woods on the other side can't see the edge.

This can explain why there are marks in the woods. If a person gets lost in such a large forest, he is basically dead.

Wan Jinrong has never intended to stop and rest. People have come to the point where they are almost exhausted.

I seem to see some dots of light on the other side of the river.

The light was very blurry, and it was impossible to tell what was emitting it. But from the analysis of the distance, it must be a few large pieces of light.

I took a picture of Wan Jinrong and said, look, there is light on the other side. Someone is setting fire

no. Wan Jinrong didn't answer, did you forget what this river is? Opposite is the legendary underworld, of course there will be lights.

My mouth is wide open. Hades? Is the underworld like this? It suddenly looks similar to the feeling of looking at the city at night. Is the co-author here also feasting and feasting at midnight? We male ghosts and female ghosts are happily living the nightlife

I said, is there a city over there

Wan Jinrong suddenly turned around and said, now is not the time to be curious. We are coming.

He turned his shoulders, and I saw a strange building standing in the woods on the right front.

This building is tens of meters high, and the whole body is dark gray. It just blends in with the surrounding environment, and it's hard to find if you don't get close.

I never thought there would be such a tall building in this kind of place. And this building is surprisingly thin, like an unusually tall lighthouse or monument, I don't know what it will look like inside.

I looked up, my neck was already sore.

My heart was overwhelmed, and everything in front of me was obviously beyond my original worldview. Even though I have seen so many things that subvert the world view, I am still amazed when I see this building now.

Wan Jinrong patted me, meaning to continue walking.

Every time I took a step toward that building, my heartbeat seemed to quicken a little. I don't know where this tension comes from.

I wondered whether it was a human or a ghost, they probably would not choose to live in this place. If there really was something inside, would it welcome our two uninvited guests

Soon, the two arrived under the building.

From this position, the whole building is more majestic and majestic. There are no cracks in the bricks on the outer wall, and I don't know if it was painted with a layer of exterior wall paint, or if this thing is not built of bricks at all.

Turning a corner along the base of the wall, I saw a dark door.

Doors should be wooden. There were no patterns or handrails on the door. Wan Jinrong gently pushed it with both hands, and the door opened slowly as if opening by itself. There was only darkness and a damp smell inside.

Wan Jinrong rubbed his hands together and said to me, don't look back when walking up. Whatever you feel is behind it.

I nodded and reached out to take a photo with my phone. Being suppressed by Wan Jinrong, there can be no light, remember, light is a taboo in this place.

Before I could understand his words, he had already gone inside.

I could hear the creak of his feet on the wooden floor, and I quickly followed.

As soon as people entered the building, the damp smell became more obvious. At this moment, I can already feel that this smell is the same as the mud found in that box. Unconsciously, he covered his mouth and nose, and tried to find a place to help with the other hand.

Because the area of the whole building is too small, after walking a few steps, Wan Jinrong turned around and reminded me that there were stairs.

I tried to step up with my feet, and the feeling from the bottom of my feet made me feel a little uneasy. The stairs are also made of wood, but the wood is obviously rotten. Fortunately, Wan Jinrong was walking ahead of me, so I couldn't help but be on guard. If he misses, don't be dragged down.

Originally, I had no strength, but I only found out when I climbed the stairs. The challenge has just begun.

The building itself is very tall, and each section of the stairs is set very steeply. After climbing about dozens of knots, my legs were so sore that I could hardly lift them up.

Wan Jinrong's physical strength is surprisingly good, and he didn't mean to accommodate me.

I had no choice but to grit my teeth and follow, the sweat on my forehead began to fall drop by drop.

After walking for a while, Wan Jinrong suddenly stopped. I thought we had climbed to the top of the building, but it was so dark that we couldn't see anything in front of him.

I said, why don't you leave? Here we are

hush. Wan Jinrong whispered, do you feel the stairs shaking

Only then did I suddenly realize that I had been moving before, so I couldn't even notice it. Now that I stopped, I realized that the stairs were shaking regularly. This clearly tells us that we are not the only ones on the stairs now.

I strained my ears to listen, but heard no footsteps or creaking wooden stairs.

Presumably the other party is still relatively far away from us.

what to do? I whispered to Wan Jinrong.

Let's hurry up, Wan Jinrong tugged at me and said, you'd better hold on, otherwise I will have to kick you off and delay the time.

Just as I was about to speak, I suddenly felt that the vibration of the stairs increased significantly. And the frequency started to mess up.

There are only two possibilities.

One, the opponent quickened his pace. Two, there are more people on the stairs.

Either way, it's not good news for us.

Wan Jinrong continued to walk up without looking back, and his steps became faster and faster.

I have exhausted all my breastfeeding energy, and I can barely keep up with him.

Such a walk is no longer a pure physical test, but a struggle of will.

In the end, I was already climbing the stairs completely by inertia, and I lost all feeling in my legs for a long time.

Finally, just as I reached the limit, we stopped again, this time really at the apex of the building, and there were no more stairs ahead, but a door.
