There was a sound of clothes rubbing in the dark, Liu Yanlei quickly put a homemade earplug into his ear hole, and then grabbed the hands of the people sitting on both sides of him - after agreeing that everyone should try to hold together as much as possible.
Holding Yu Long in his left hand and Chen Xinai in his right hand, he found that both of their hands were cold, wet and trembling slightly.
The room without light was already very dark, but suddenly a thicker darkness quietly invaded and enveloped everything.
Time slipped slowly and sticky, and the sound of the turbid sea water rushing in came in unhurriedly through the ship's board.
woo-woo-
The voice sounded distant and vast, hollow and dead.
Nothingness and darkness blur the boundaries of time, and it seems that a long period of time has passed.
Crunch, crunch.
In the narrow passage outside the room, from weak to strong, from far to near, there was a slow sound of something rolling on the wooden floor.
Crunch, crunch, crunch.
The sound stopped outside the door of the room.
There was a dead silence in the darkness, as if something was standing quietly at the door, feeling the twelve fragile humans in the room.
Liu Yanlei felt wrong.
He obviously plugged his ears, why can he still hear the voice clearly
- Ear plugs don't work!
Liu Yanlei was startled, forced his composure, and tentatively called out to his right in a very low voice: "Xin Ai?"
"Yan... Yan Lei..." Chen Xinai's voice trembled with extreme fear, "I... I... I am afraid... afraid..."
"Shh... it's okay... it's okay... don't move... just don't move..." Liu Yanlei comforted her, but he was also comforting himself. He firmly held Chen Xin'ai's cold and trembling hand, and he told himself that he loved her very much, maybe not before. , but she will definitely be the person he loves the most in the future, he will protect her, he will believe her, just like the hero in every heroic movie, he is willing to risk his own life to protect her.
Chen Xinai also held his hand tightly, but she was shaking more and more, so that the words that were forcibly pressed in her throat were shaken out: "No... No... There is something... No, no, no... Yanyan Yanlei... Yan Lei! Yan Lei! Something! Something! Ah-ah-"
Chen Xinai screamed loudly, her voice as if it had been slashed with flesh and blood by a sharp axe, shrill and twisted: "Help - no - ah - ah - Yan Lei - save me - ah!!!!!!"
Liu Yanlei's nerves, which were already tense and were about to rupture, were instantly shattered by Chen Xinai's sound, which was almost incomparable to a human being. She went to hold her again, but heard Chen Xinai slapped her body frantically in the dark, screaming like her throat had been torn open: "Ah-ah-no-no-save me-leech-leech- So many leeches - got into my flesh - they got into my flesh - ah - Yan Lei - save me - ah ah -"
Liu Yanlei was shocked. He was still desperately trying to touch Chen Xinai's hand in the dark and subconsciously retracted it again, and his body also went backwards several meters - Leech? ! Where did the leeches come from in the vast sea? ! Is it an illusion
Liu Yanlei was judging and analyzing in panic, when he heard everyone's exclamations suddenly sounded in the room one after another, women's screams and men's heavy shouts, every sound was terrified and shrill, everyone was in a mess, slapping their bodies. The sound of rolling around on the floor, and even the sound of banging against the wall. In these chaotic sounds, there are also sounds that make the scalp numb, and the sound of snakes and insects wriggling.
Liu Yanlei was stunned. He could no longer judge whether what he heard in his ears was an illusion, so he had to keep moving his body back to avoid being stepped on and bumped by others.
The room is not big, he only took a few steps back, and his back reached the wall of the room, but unexpectedly, the hand used to support the moving body accidentally pressed it on a sticky filament in the corner, Liu Yanlei hurriedly I flicked my hand, but I couldn't shake it off at all. On the contrary, the more I flicked, the more filaments stuck to my hand.
-what is this? !
Liu Yanlei was in a panic, he used the other hand to twist the filaments, the filaments were light and sticky, and they almost disappeared with a twist of his fingers.
- Spider, spider silk? !
- There are spider webs in the corners!
Liu Yanlei's whole body was numb, from the top of his head to the back of his feet, he had goosebumps all over his body.
The most disgusting thing he was afraid of was spiders.
This kind of fear is different from the fear of ghosts and death. This is a kind of physiological disgusting rejection. This kind of fear has nothing to do with being a man or a woman. Many people have things that they can't bear and feel numb when they see it. Things, for example, some people are afraid of mice, some people are afraid of snakes, some people are afraid of insects, and some people are afraid of toads.
Liu Yanlei is afraid of spiders, no matter how big or small, as long as he sees this kind of creature that crawls quickly with several long slender legs, he feels that his whole body is like being crawled by the long legs of this thing, and the place where he crawls will give birth. There were dense red pimples, white tips popped out from the pimples one by one, pus from the white tips flowed out, and then a string of small spiders crawled out of these broken pimples...
Whenever he saw a spider, he couldn't help but imagine it, making himself sick and sick to the point of death.
Right now, he couldn't help imagining such a scene again, and he hurriedly leaned to the side to dodge, rubbing his hands on his clothes desperately, trying to rub off the spider silk and the spiders that might be attached to it.
Suddenly, a fluffy thing landed on his forehead. Liu Yanlei reached out to touch it reflexively, but the tentacle was a spider the size of a palm.
For a time, Liu Yanlei felt that he was in a frenzy like everyone else. The screams and screams around him were constantly affecting his mood, disrupting his reason and calm, and the big spider on his head firmly grabbed him. The flesh covered most of his face, and Liu Yanlei even felt its "nose pliers" eager to try it between his nose and mouth.
He remembered the human-faced spider mentioned in the book he had read, which left a deep psychological shadow on him. If the human body is injected with toxins from this spider, the muscles will cramp and cannot move any more. A digestive juice will be injected into the human body to turn the flesh and blood inside the skin into a liquid. In this process, the human will always be alive and have all the sensations, but he cannot move, and he can feel himself being melted and being eaten by spiders. .
—Whether it’s true or not, Liu Yanlei is very afraid of spiders. He is afraid that he will fall into such a situation. At this moment, the spider on his face, with its eight long legs, seems to be holding his face harder and harder, Liu Yanlei dare not Touching it with his hand, he can only shake his head desperately, but no matter how he shakes it, he can't shake it off. Liu Yanlei screams frantically, just like the others around him, screaming non-stop, frantically, and hysterically.
He was really going crazy. At the moment when his nerves completely collapsed, he heard someone screaming, stumbling, and desperately running out of the room, followed by a second person, a third person, and the sound of footsteps, clattering Rush in the direction of the door.
Everyone was rushing out, Liu Yanlei was in a hurry, he was afraid of being abandoned, he was afraid that they would leave him here alone and let him die tragically. He rushed forward, fiercely, with all his strength, smashed the two or three people who were rushing in front of him, and successfully rushed out the door.
A strong, fishy smell of sea water instantly entered his nostrils.
Liu Yanlei thought, where did the spider come from
There are also leeches... By the way, Chen Xinai is most afraid of leeches, that kind of fat, ugly and terrible worm will burrow into human flesh and suck human blood. When it burrows into the flesh, absolutely You can't pull it with your hands, trying to pull it out of the flesh, as soon as you pull it, its body will be broken, half of it will be pulled out by you, and the other half will continue to drill into your flesh, you can only use it. The sole is patted on the flesh next to it, patting it out little by little.
I heard that the leech will not only suck human blood after burrowing into the flesh, but it will also lay eggs in human blood.
Liu Yanlei didn't know if these were true, he just heard Chen Xinai say this, because she was afraid of leeches, just like he was afraid of spiders, and was always willing to exaggerate and terrify them.
But where do spiders and leeches come from
Is it an illusion
What did they say before the darkness came
No matter what happens, don't leave the place.
But why are they all running out the door
Liu Yanlei recalled the herd mentality mentioned in the job training class.
When everyone is afraid, he is also afraid, everyone is screaming, he can't help screaming, everyone runs out of the door, he... He also ran out without thinking about it...
Liu Yanlei raised his hand in a daze and touched his face.
The spider on it disappeared at some point, and he only touched it, the sea water in one hand.
…
When Ke Xun switched on the lighting function of the mobile phone to illuminate the room, all the people were very embarrassed.
After confirming that Mu Yiran and a few companions were okay, Ke Xun pulled his leg out of Luo Xun's arms: "Why are you having a loose bladder or something, why are you urinating again?!"
"Brother, I'm scared to death..." Luo Meng fell to the ground with a pale face, "please let me slow down..."
"Click the number of people." Mu Yiran's voice sounded calmly, and Ke Xun hurriedly used his mobile phone to take a picture of the entire room.
"Six, seven, eight, nine..." Ke Xun's voice paused, "Liu Yanlei is missing."
Chen Xinai crawled on the ground and cried bitterly.
Everyone was silent for a while, and then they heard Shao Ling say: "Go to the deck first."
The sea breeze in the early morning has a strong salty and rancid odor, the sky is overcast and gray, the sea water is dark, there are no big waves, just the constant microwaves for thousands of miles, the vastness extends to the end of the world, as if there is only such a beach between heaven and earth. A sea like stagnant water, and a boat of eleven people on the sea.
Everyone looked at each other a few times, but saw that most of them were quite haggard, as if they had suffered a lot of mental torture.
"Now, let's talk about our own experiences last night." Shao Ling spread out the bamboo slips that he used to record yesterday and picked up his pen, "Tell me about myself first, it was still dark last night, and I couldn't see anything, but I could Hearing the sound, also feeling the touch. What I'm feeling is... well, I hope it doesn't make you feel uncomfortable - what I'm feeling are cockroach eggs, probably, hundreds or even thousands, constantly coming out of my hair And it fell out of my clothes, and then burst open, squirting countless small cockroaches and falling on me..."
"Ouch--" Wei Dong and Luo Yu vomited together.
"So, is the illusion last night the most disgusting thing for each of us?" Zhu Haowen said coldly.
"What is Haowen's illusion?" Qin Ci asked casually.
"I touched the faces of locusts and mantises." Zhu Haowen was expressionless.
Qin Ci: "..." What kind of strange evil(ě) point is this
