MTL - Urban Tales of Demons and Spirits-Chapter 192 Sink
I followed the cat owner suspiciously and moved forward. Bayi Chinese Network W? WZW. 81ZW. The path in COM alley is different from the last time I came here. The road became dark and narrow. I almost touched the wall and couldn't see anything, but the footsteps of the cat owner were steady and powerful. No hesitation. I had to swallow the puppet in my heart and walk forward behind him.
Gradually, the narrow alley widened, and the faint blue light gradually appeared in front of it. It took a closer look and it turned out that there were faint flames floating in the air.
"What is this ..." I muttered.
"It's a ghost fire." The cat boss, who had been silent, said suddenly, startling me.
"Ghost, ghost fire?" I asked stuttering.
"Human souls are burning, floating in the air and turning into ghost fires. If you get closer, you can still hear them screaming." The cat owner said without change, and continued to move forward, "most It's better not to be near them. "
I have a doubt in my stomach, but somehow I don't know what to say. I curiously looked at the blue ghost fires, which floated in the air like ordinary flames, burning quietly.
"Cat boss ..." I finally couldn't help but say, "Is this really the way to the noodle shop? Why is it the same as last time ..."
"Oh, I didn't say I was going to the noodle shop." The cat owner said with a smile.
"What?" I couldn't help but stop, "Where are we going?"
"Well, I don't think you would want to know." The cat boss still said calmly and calmly, without slowing down.
"I want to know." I said alertly.
"But even if I didn't specify the destination, didn't you follow me?" The cat owner turned and smiled at me kindly.
That's right ... even if the cat owner didn't say it, I almost knew where he was going to take me. I nodded, keeping up with the cat boss.
The further you go, the thicker the darkness, but the more faint blue ghost fires, like a small lantern, illuminate the way forward for us.
"How come there are so many ghost fires?" I mumbled as I looked around.
"Don't worry, they won't burn your clothes." The cat boss joked with a smile.
"Uh, I'm not worried about that ..."
"The situation has changed." The cat owner didn't know if he was answering me or saying to himself, "The soul is crying and burning itself. The balance of yin and yang has been fluctuated, and these innocent souls are pitiful."
"Cat boss, Wen Jiubai--" I couldn't help but blurt out, but was interrupted by the finger raised by the cat boss.
"Shh, don't say, don't say." The boss of the cat shook his head. "Ru's fate, you can only break it yourself. The secret of heaven cannot be leaked. You need to explore the road ahead."
The more I listened, the more I became angry. Whether it is the cat owner, or Bai, or even Zhu Xuan, it seems that they know the truth of the matter, and it is only me who is blinded by the drum.
"So what is the so-called fate really so important?" I frowned and couldn't help raising my voice. "More important than life, more important than losing friends?"
"Son of mankind, don't be so anxious." No matter what I say, the cat owner is still the smiling face. "In this world, everything is connected by cause and effect. Fate is the fate of everything, or it is born or To die, to leave or to leave, everything is connected. "
I was confused and even more irritable. "Of course I know that there is a connection, but I don't care about the connection. I just want to know how it all happened and why it suddenly became like this. And where is Wen Jiubai, why would anyone attack him? I-- "
The cat owner once again raised a forefinger to his lips and shook his head. "Don't believe too much in front of your eyes. Your eyes will sometimes blind your thinking and make you indistinguishable. Where the facts are, you still have to It's up to you to tell. I can't help you. "
I resisted the urge to roll my eyes, and knew in my heart that no one could rely on me at this time.
"Well, even if you all choose to sit on the sidelines, I can find him alone!" I said angrily, "you just tell me how to go!"
The cat owner stopped and looked at me. With the fluff of his furry cat's claws, the ghost fires floating around gathered together, lighting up the road in front of us.
I was immediately frightened by a cold sweat, because the ghost fire came over, and I realized that my feet was a step forward. If I walked a little forward, I would have fallen now.
"What's underneath ..." I tried to look forward to the bottom of the abyss, but it was only dark underneath and could see nothing.
"That's where you're going." The cat owner stood behind me and said leisurely, "You asked me to tell you where to go."
"What?" I looked back, and before I could respond to what he said, my back was slammed and my entire body fell forward unsteadily.
"Wait, Boss Cat! Hey!" I struggled a few times, but didn't catch the edges, and fell straight into the bottomless darkness. The fear of weightlessness closed my eyes. There was only one thought in my heart. After that, I was going to die this time. I didn't die in the mouth of various monsters, but I was killed in somehow!
However, the imaginary pain did not come. I opened my eyes and now I was standing on the gentle ground. The dizziness that can be dropped from a high level still remains on the head. I covered my head, walked two steps, and looked around.
I seem to be in a confined space, surrounded by gray brick walls, like some kind of maze, but also like an underground palace in a tomb novel. The top of his head was not sealed, but he could not see the sky, it was just a suppressed black.
Where am I?
A torch was inserted across the wall, but the burning flame on the torch was not red, but the same blue color as those ghost fires. I didn't even think about the fuel of the flame.
I walked towards the torch, and at the same time, there was a rattling water under my feet. I looked down and saw that I was stepping on the water barefoot. The entire labyrinthine building was covered with a thick layer of water on the ground, but strangely, I didn't feel the touch of water or the temperature at all.
I don't feel cold or hot, the body's perception system seems to be out of order, and nothing can be felt.
I didn't have time to think so much, I pulled a torch from the wall, illuminated the road ahead, and tempted to go forward.
The surroundings were so quiet that I couldn't hear a little wind. The long corridor seemed to only hear the sound of water and almost inaudible breathing as I walked.
Where exactly is this? Where is Wen Jiubai?
And ... is there such a large area that there is no one?
I don't know if you have experienced this kind of experience. The more you are in a quiet place, the more you dare not speak out. Even if you know that there is no one nearby except yourself, you dare not pant loudly.
Because in the subconscious, everyone knows that there is actually something in the darkness in the distance. Something is watching you.
"Who?"
I swear, just now, a dark shadow quickly passed over the corner of my eyes. Although there was no sound, I was pretty sure something ran over the intersection of the corridor.
However, when I looked back, there was nothing but air and endless walls behind me.
My heart was beating like a drum, and I hurried to the junction a few steps away, but there was nothing there, only a wall of silence and endlessness.
I swallowed, took the torch, and continued walking between the walls. I even feel that there is no end to this place. No matter where I go, turn left or right, the road is exactly the same, no difference.
I don't know how long I've been away, and suddenly there was a sound of splashing water near my ears.
It was right behind me, but I didn't walk.
"Who is it?" I turned around quickly, a figure ran quickly and disappeared around the corner.
"Wait! You come back!" I chased without hesitation, the water splashed a series of clashes under my feet. I ran out of breath, but when I chased that corner, I couldn't see anything.
This time, I was really goosebumps. I am even more convinced that in this maze-like corridor, there is definitely not only me, but also something that may not be human.
Where am I? Where is Wen Jiubai?
Just as I sighed and was about to give up and return from the same path, I turned around and stood behind a little girl in white clothes, staring straight at me.
"help me."
The little girl stared at me with an innocent expression on her face, repeating, "Help me."
I can't help but step back. The little girl appeared without warning and heard no sound. If you look closely, her feet are not standing on the ground at all, but rather the water on the ground. She is definitely not human.
But then again ... how could there be humans in the crevices of the underworld? I am afraid that in such a large area, I am the only human being.
"Please, help me." The little girl spoke again, as if begging me.
"Uh ..." I took a careful step forward, always keeping a certain distance from the little girl. "What happened to you? Is something wrong with you?"
However, there was no change in the expression on the little girl's face, just repeating blindly, "Please, help me, I'm scared, I don't know what to do."
