Chapter 15 Masked Man

The monster was so powerful that it hit three or four times in a row, and each time it hit the top of its head and dropped stone slag.

I was shocked to hear it. I wanted to be hit by it. It must be smashed.

The monster hit the outside twice, and finally let out a long roar and gave up the impact.

Then I heard "Dong! Dong!" The voice became farther and farther away, and finally breathed a sigh of relief and wiped a cold sweat.

At this time, there was a faint flame in front of me, and I saw a cold face lit up in the firelight.

I was almost scared to call out, but the man put his finger to his mouth and made a silent gesture, saying, "Do you still want to attract that thing?"

With the light of the torch in his hand, I saw that the cold face turned out to be a mask. The shape was actually the same style of the white-haired zombie outside. His eyes were closed and the corners of his mouth were upturned, which was extremely strange.

I immediately asked, "Who are you?" Why are you wearing a mask..."

The man snorted coldly and said, "Look back."

I was stunned for a moment and thought to myself why he inexplicably asked me to look back?

Although I was a little reluctant, I still turned my head.

At this time, I saw a bronze mirror behind me. Although it was not as big as the bronze mirror outside, it was not small and could take a clear picture of my whole body.

What surprised me most was that I saw a mask with the same mask on my face as him.

I suddenly saw sweat on my forehead and said that I didn't notice this mask on my face. It was really weird.

I was a little scared and wanted to reach out to take off the mask, but the man said, "If you want to die, take it off. If it hadn't been for this mask, you would have died long ago."

My hand stopped in mid-air, put it back, and hurriedly asked, "What do you mean?"

I didn't expect that the man did not answer me, but turned around with a torch and walked deeper.

"Hey! Wait!" I followed in a panic and asked all kinds of questions, such as who he was, why he was here, whether he had seen other shuan huan zhe and so on.

But the man said "um" at most and did not answer my questions directly. In the end, he was finally not annoyed and turned his head and said to me, "You will know the answers to all the questions when you get to the place."

The tone of his words reminds me of the innkeeper A Zhuo, but this man's voice is obviously very different from A Zhuo. A Zhuo always speaks with a Sichuan flavor, but this person speaks Mandarin with a coastal accent, which is very similar to the accent of one of my Fujian classmates.

What do people from coastal areas come to this black bamboo ditch where birds don't shit? I'm a little confused, but it's not easy to ask. So we walked a narrow corridor, only about two meters wide and three meters high. It was very humid, full of abrupt rocks and many fork roads.

These corridors are very similar to the passage to white-haired dumplings, but they are slightly more spacious. I don't know how many secret passages are in this mausoleum, and I don't know how they were designed when the mausoleum was built. If I drill in these secret passages, I may get lost soon.

After we left for a while, the man in front stopped and pointed to the front and said, "Are you interested in these two dead ghosts?"

"Dead ghost?" I was stunned and took a detour in front of him to look. I found that there was a turn in front of me, and there were two corpses leaning against the ground of the test wall.

Those are two rotten bodies with only bones left, wrapped in a thick leather coat, with a big mouth. It seems that it must be painful before death.

I saw two dead bodies in leather clothes again. It seems that they have been dead for decades, and I don't know why they died here. Thinking of the body I met outside, I touched the notebook in my arms and silently said, "Comrade, I have found your companion."

I remembered what the man said just now and suddenly felt a little strange. Why am I interested in the dead ghost when I have nothing to do?

When the man saw me standing there, he said, "If you are not interested, put on their clothes. It's cold in front of you."

"Is it cold in front?" I was a little confused and said to myself that even if the underground cave is a little cooler, it is still very sultry. No matter how cold it is in front of me, I don't need to wear these fur coats.

The man didn't care about my reaction, so he took off a skeleton and put it on himself.

I have no choice but to say that he has done so, so there is no reason for me not to do so. If I really meet the snow in June, I will still be frozen.

After walking forward for a while, I found that there was a white breath in my nose.

At the same time, I also felt a gust of cold wind blowing in front of me, and I couldn't help wrapping my leather coat.

We walked a distance of more than 100 meters, and my lips began to turn black, my teeth trembled a little, and the surrounding temperature dropped by more than ten degrees in an instant.

At this time, the man in front also stopped and said to me, "We have arrived..."

The mysterious man said to me, "We have arrived."

I was stunned for a moment and saw a stone wall in front of me blocking the way. It was like a dead end, but he said the place.

At this time, the light in front of him suddenly dimmed, and he was short and suddenly disappeared.

I was shocked. When I walked over and found that there was a small hole under the stone wall in front of me, the diameter was just enough for one person to enter.

A trace of cold air is coming out of the hole, and I don't know where it is connected.

A rope is firmly fixed on the stone wall next to the cave by an iron hook and goes straight into the depths of the cave.

The man had put out the torch, took out a flashlight, shook it twice from the hole, and said to me, "The flashlight is not much power. Come with me."

I suddenly hesitated and said that now we are already in a deep place in the belly of the mountain, and this hole goes straight to the ground, and I don't know where it is connected. Coupled with those inexplicable cold air, it makes people panic.

I said to the man, "Where are we going? If we want to find an exit, we should look for it in the main tomb."

"Main tomb?" The man thought for a while before he realized what I meant. Suddenly, he sneered and said, "Do you think the place where we came from is the main tomb? That's almost called a monster nest! Go back and feed the monsters by yourself.

After saying that, he climbed down the rope.

I walked around the hole and finally couldn't help following up, thinking that since this person had saved me, he could not hurt me.

To be honest, I was already weak and injured. Climbing the rope is killing me.

Although I only need to grab the rope with both hands and climb down with my feet on the wall of the cave, the rope is really rough. In addition, my arm strength is insufficient, and I almost fell down several times.

Fortunately, the man below helped me several times. I almost bit my teeth and rubbed off a layer of skin in my palm before I could barely support it.

Strangely, looking at me so clumsy, he didn't get angry, just climbed down silently... crawling down...

The air around me is getting colder and colder, but my heart is colder than the air, because I find that this hole seems to have no end.

I gritted my teeth and crawled while thinking about the problem. Suddenly, there was a stir in my mind. I said that I didn't know what the person below was and where to take me. Isn't it too stupid for me to follow him?

Thinking of this, I stopped and looked at the man below.

And the man still wore the strange mask that seemed to smile, holding a very dim flashlight in his hand, and the white fog filled around him, which looked particularly gloomy.

He saw me stop, but there was no response. He still raised his head and climbed down.

"Climb down with your head up..."

When I thought of this, my whole body seemed to be frozen and my face was blue, because I found that this man's posture of climbing the rope was extremely strange. He climbed down with his limbs, but his head kept looking up and staring at me!

I was extremely shocked. Not to mention how this person looked up at the road, but his neck seemed to be broken. He could only raise his head and stay motionless, always facing me with the smiling face. Looking at this mask reminds me of the mask worn by the white-haired zombie before, and I feel that this person is extremely strange.
