Endless Fall-Chapter 137 - 137 Unexpected Encounter with the Dolls
137 Unexpected Encounter with the Dolls
What followed was a strange cry.
Zhou Yanshen had expected this to happen, so he quickly pulled Qian Yue back to the edge of the wall.
They held their breaths and waited for the mystery to unfold. Occasionally, they would look at each other.
“Why isn’t the thing here yet?” Qu Shao was impatient.
He rubbed his ears and clicked his tongue. “The horror effect here is terrible.”
“I think so too.”
Shen Yi raised his hand and pressed the second button.
Just as he was about to wonder what would follow, a cold wind blew past and a few dolls with long hair fell from above.
The dolls swayed in the air with a smile on their bloody faces.
“Damn… This is too f*cking scary!”
“Their hair is still dripping with blood.”
“Their eyeballs are falling out too!”
The eyeballs dropped to the ground and rolled around.
Everyone was overly stimulated by the scene.
Zhou Yanshen hugged Qian Yue, who was hiding in his arms, and took a few steps to the right, trying to get away from the swaying dolls.
He was not in the mood to feel the warmth of her body in his arms. As he walked, he reminded Pei Zhi to be careful not to fall.
“Shen Yi, press it again.” Pei Zhi wrapped Lin Jiao in his jacket and moved to the stone door.
He lowered his head and comforted her, “Don’t be afraid. We’ll be out soon.”
“It’s open.” Shen Yi pushed aside the hair in front of her eyes.
He kicked the arm of the doll that was blocking the way. “This door will close automatically. Hurry up.”
Seeing that the stone door was gradually descending, the group of people bent down and successfully reached the other end.
The creepy sound disappeared.
The moment the stone door closed, they had time to catch their breath.
“Damn it!” Qu Shao stepped on one of the eyeballs that had been brought over and patted his jacket up and down. “My jacket is stained with fake blood.”
“Mine too.”
“How annoying. Can you wash it off?”
“I think so.”
Pei Yilan felt something on the back of her neck and grabbed a handful of hair. She was so disgusted that she felt nauseous.
“Chu Yuzhou.” She turned her back to him, her voice still trembling. “Help me find if there’s any on my back.”
Chu Yuzhou searched in her hood and found a broken nose.
“That’s all.” He threw it far away. “There are candles over there. We can turn off the flashlight.”
Lin Jiao looked up at the rows of candles not far away, her facial expression gradually returning to normal.
She followed them unhurriedly, occasionally admiring the murals carved, and the fear in her heart was greatly reduced.
Seeing that she had relaxed, Pei Zhi retracted his gaze from her face. “Yanshen, is there a vending machine outside the cave?”
Zhou Yanshen took out the map. “Yes.” He pointed at one of the icons. “After we get out, let’s rest.”
“How much longer do we have to walk?”
“Soon, I think.
Under the guidance of the candles, they passed through two stone doors and stopped in front of three wooden boxes.
There was a sign beside the wooden box. The task was very simple. As long as they could take out three keys, they could leave.
Chu Yuzhou knocked on the box.
He tilted his head to listen to the movement inside. After confirming that there was no strange sound, he was relieved. “Shall we open them one by one?”
“Yes.” Shen Yi stepped forward to help.
When he saw that the first box was filled with mealworms, he immediately walked away.
“I can’t do that.” He couldn’t stand insects the most. Just looking at them made his scalp tingle.
“What is it?”
“Mealworm.”
Pei Zhi approached the wooden box. “Jiaojiao, do you have a bag in your totes?”
“Is a makeup bag okay?”
“Sure.”
Lin Jiao poured out the cosmetics.
She handed him the bag and watched him reach his hand in through the hole.
“I think it’s in the upper left corner.” She endured the discomfort and helped him find the key among the insects. free𝚠𝚎𝚋𝒏𝚘ѵ𝐞l.𝑐oｍ
Pei Zhi pinpointed hte key accurately.
He shook off the mealworms that were crawling on the bag and threw the key on the tissue. “Open the next one.”
A sizzling sound was heard.
When the light shone on them, more than twenty black snakes stuck out their tongues and stared at Chu Yuzhou’s face, scaring him so much that he quickly closed the wooden box.
“What is it this time?”
“Snake.”
“Let me do it.” Zhou Yanshen rolled up his sleeves.
He had caught snakes with his grandpa many times in the past and was already immune to them.
Qian Yue frowned. “Don’t you want to use the bag?”
“No need. They’re not poisonous.”
“Then be careful.”
“Yes.” Zhou Yanshen pushed aside the black snakes without fear and found the key.
He pulled away the snakes that were wrapping around his wrist. His smooth handling of the snakes made Qian Yue admire him even more.
He opened the third wooden box and found the last key among the ants.
“We can finally go out.” When the door opened, Qu Shao felt much more relaxed.
He handed them a cigarette each and walked out while humming a tune.
When the sun poured down, the fresh air was brought to the tip of their noses by the wind and brushed past gently.
The sound of birds chirping lingered in their ears, accompanied by the rustling of the trees.
They sat at the table and enjoyed the moment without being disturbed by the outside world. They chatted and laughed at times, making the atmosphere even livelier.
Qian Yue tightened the cap of the mineral water bottle and called her besties to the washroom. They stood in front of the mirror to touch up their makeup.
She opened the air cushion. “I think your brother is quite manly, especially when he’s finding the keys.”
“Do you like him?”
“Very much so.”
“He’s been protecting you the whole time.” Pei Yilan washed her hands. “He’s probably into you too.”
“Not yet,” Qian Yue said truthfully. “So far, he is only slightly into me.”
“That’s better than nothing.”
“That’s true, but it won’t be easy to keep him interested in me.”
“Then what do you plan to do?” Lin Jiao pursed her lips and looked at her in the mirror.
“Play hard to get.”
“Aren’t you afraid he’ll give up?”
“If you play it well, he won’t give up.” Qian Yue had always been confident in controlling men.
Pei Yilan was in no hurry to ask her for tips.
She was more concerned about something else. “How far do you plan to go with Brother Yanshen?”
“You want to hear honest words?”
“Why would I want lies?”
Qian Yue smiled and said, “Before yesterday, I only wanted to get him and have him.”
Like encountering a challenging prey, she only wanted to catch him and win his heart.
“And now?”
“It’s different now.” She turned to look at Lin Jiao. “To be precise, it’s your interaction with Pei Zhi that changed my mind.”
Lin Jiao seemed to understand the emotions in her eyes.
She pulled out a tissue and wiped the water off her fingertips. “You want to have a future with him?”
