It's still a brilliant sunny day, or from the beginning here, the sky doesn't have any meaning to rain. Lin Banxia and the three men packed up their luggage and simply ate breakfast. They first have to pass the wide, but not deep river in front of them. They explored it when Lin Banxia went down to catch fish yesterday. The deepest part of this river is only the knee, and you can carry your luggage on your back , Be careful when wading over.
Lin Banxia is good at water, and volunteers to be at the forefront, Li Su is at the second, and Sergey is at the end. He took off his shoes and socks, rolled up his trouser legs again, carefully stepped on the smooth stone and walked across the river, beckoning them to Li Su and beckoning them to come.
In the daytime, Li Su was armed again, and he had to wear a pair of sunglasses and masks. Like Lin Banxia, ​​he also arrived safely on the other side.
By Sergey, in fact, he was the strongest of the three, and it was logical that it was not difficult to pass this non-rapid river in front of him. So Lin Banxia and Li Su were not too worried, but the accident happened suddenly.
Sergey, who had walked to the middle of the river, suddenly slipped, and the whole person fell into the river. The river was not deep. He could have stood up immediately. Whoever has never seen him can only see the constant struggling. Splashes.
Lin Banxia immediately reacted to something wrong, he flew into the river without hesitation, as soon as he entered, he understood why Sergey could not struggle. I saw a few rope-shaped things wrapped around his feet. At first Lin Banxia thought it was aquatic grass or something, but when he swam closer, he found that it was actually long and thin, like a snake. Human hands. The arms of these hands had become slender and emerged from the mud of the river. Like a rope, they grabbed Sergey violently and dragged him down. Sergey struggled weakly, spitting out a string of bubbles in his mouth, and it was almost impossible. Lin Banxia grabbed those things and pulled out the daggers tied to the outside of his thighs, constantly cutting the slender arms like snakes. Fortunately, these things were quickly cleared away, Lin Banxia dragged Shel Covering the heavy body, he floated the surface of the water, coughing heavily, and shouted: "Quick-take the hand-he is too heavy-"
Li Su quickly reached out and pulled the two up in sequence.
Lin Banxia landed on the ground, sitting on the ground and gasping for breath, said: "Sergey, how are you?"
Sergey obviously couldn't understand what he said. He spit on the ground and spit a few sips of water before slowing down. He spoke a few words in Russian, listening to the tone, as if swearing.
"Why didn't the thing in the river attack the two of us?" Lin Banxia wondered. "Don't you like to eat locals if you are not satisfied with it?"
Li Su couldn't help crying: "Don't tell a joke at this time." He exchanged a few words with Sergey, and then he was relieved when he learned that he was fine.
However, although Sergey survived, his baggage was sown, and was washed down by the river. The body was wet, the cold wind blew, Lin Banxia shivered, said: "Why is it so cold in May."
"Baby, this is Russia." Li Su said, "Go to a fire and dry your clothes. Don't get a fever. If you go back and tell others that your teammate died of a bad cold, you might be laughed." He With that said, he quickly found some dry wood and raised the fire.
Lin Banxia started baking his clothes again.
After Sergey eased over, he thanked Lin Banxia repeatedly, and Lin Banxia waved his hand: "You still have to be careful, you feel bad luck."
Li Su helped Lin Banxia translate this, and Sergey glanced at the river behind him. He said, "Until now, I'm not sure that you two are the kind of monsters."
"Then you gave me so easily yesterday?" Li Su raised an eyebrow.
"Being beaten to death is not a painful method of death." Sergey said with a wry smile. "At least ... I don't want to be like Elena." A long time ago, he and Elena had agreed. If the other party is unfortunately turned into a terrible monster in a certain task, as the partner of the other party, please don't be soft. Because the person at this time, the spiritual world may have been destroyed, no longer that one. In this case, it is better to die happy.
He was so fulfilling his promise, but he was very afraid that he would become that look, but no one ended him.
Lin Banxia couldn't understand what they were talking about, silently roasting clothes beside him.
When Li Su saw that the atmosphere had calmed down, he joked with Lin Banxia: "Do you know how you dragged him upstream just like a little hamster carrying a large piece of biscuit."
Lin Banxia glanced at the six abdominal muscles that he was barely obvious, and then glanced at Sher's chest covered with chest hair, and he slapped: "Well then, I am so physique, even if I am thin Do not mean that I am a hamster? "
Li Su laughed.
After spending most of the morning, the two finally dried their clothes, and the three continued on the road towards the middle of the wasteland.
As they went deeper into the wilderness, the surrounding environment became more and more similar to Li Su ’s video. Lin Banxia asked Li Su several times what happened to them. Li Su had vaguely carried it. Continue to ask, he will helplessly said: "Banxia, ​​do not tell you that there is a reason, do our business ... curiosity is really not a good habit. If you must ask me, then I can only tell you, if it is What little secret did you find, please do n’t tell it, or else it ’s been heard by that thing, maybe something else will appear.

"Come on." Lin Banxia saw that he did not want to let go of his life, so he had to give up.
Although Sergey and Lin Banxia confirmed each other's human identity, his mental state seemed to be a bit unsatisfactory. The whole person seemed to be in a state of dissatisfaction. Sometimes Li Su said something to him, and he was in a trance, It will take a while to react.
"Did you feel uncomfortable?" Li Su asked Sergey.
"No, no, I'm fine." Sergey responded vaguely, but his entire face was slumped sluggishly. He was originally tall, but inexplicably gave a sense of decadence, hitting behind him from time to time. Look, as if something behind them followed them.
Both Li Su and Lin Banxia naturally noticed, but now they are on the endless wilderness. If they follow something behind, they can turn around and see that the low bushes cannot cover the track of the tracker.
That night, after the campfire was fired, Li Su took out two dice identical to those used by Song Qingluo and asked Sergey to undergo a mental examination.
Seeing the dice, Sergey actually panicked. Lin Banxia has always been very strange. Why do they mind throwing the dice so much that the two dice in front of them are even more terrible than monsters. Mou Xinsi, who met in the mountain village before That's it, she was unwilling to roll the dice under the pressure of Song Qingluo.
Sergey stared at the dice without reaching for it, swallowing up and down uncontrollably, casting a pleading glance at Li Su, and refused to reach for the dice in Li Su's hand.
Li Su was not in a hurry, just waited so calmly.
"I should be fine." Sergey said, "Can't you, don't dice ..."
"Dice it." Li Su said warmly, his temper seemed to be very good. Even at this time, he was not tense. Instead, it was like a gurgling stream, with a soothing taste. He said, "At least don't deceive yourself. Myself. "
Sergey smiled bitterly, and finally compromised. He stabilized his trembling hand, slowly reached for the dice, then took a deep breath and threw the dice onto the ground. Grumbling, the dice rolled a few times, and stopped, one white and one black, 7 and 6, respectively, a total of 76, did not exceed the dangerous value.
"Huh--" Sergey breathed out a long time after seeing the result, which was much better than he thought.
"Why are they all so afraid?" Lin Banxia wondered, "Don't you just check your mental state?"
Li Su carefully put away the dice. He heard Lin Banxia's question, and there was a little helplessness in his voice. He said: "Panxia, ​​not everyone is as dull as your nerves, usually this value of mental pollution Once the danger point is breached, it means one thing. "
Lin Banxia said, "What?"
"It means that you may have gone crazy." Li Su said in a heavy tone, "Or, you have become something else, this is something more terrible than death, you never thought about it, when you saw it in front of you If everything is false, how terrible should it be? "He considered the words and wanted to make Lin Banxia as clear as possible." In some cases, if your spiritual value exceeds the limit, Then your companion has the power to execute you-haven't you read the agreement carefully? "
Lin Banxia told me honestly: "Just look at the salary and insurance money."
Li Su: "..."
Lin Banxia laughed a few times to relieve the embarrassment: "Hahaha."
Li Su was silent for a while, did not know what to say for a while, and finally suffocated a sentence: "Song Qingluo this guy should really go to another training class !!!"
Sergey passed the mental test, but he was still not happy. He thought he was crazy, but the value on the dice told him that he was still some distance away from being crazy. In this case, what he saw was what? Sergey licked his dry lips. Since he left the riverbank, he felt that something was following them. There was no shape and no sound. But Sergey could clearly feel that there was something. Following him, the thing has a face exactly like Elena's, and her body is soft. It seems to hide itself in the invisible sand, and no one else is aware of it. After Sergey made sure that he was not mad, he was even more painful, because a madman did n’t have to think about it, and he did n’t feel pain. Now he seems to be entangled with a ghost. He can feel it alone.
As night fell, the temperature on the wasteland dropped quickly.
Today is Lin Banxia and Sergey vigil, Li Su is a big-hearted person, he used a grass to make a soft bed for himself, and he went to bed and fell asleep.
It was only nine o'clock now, and Lin Banxia was a little unable to sleep, so he and Sergey sat next to the fire and roasted the fire. When he saw that Sergey was in a bad mood, he wanted to say a few words to him, but he couldn't speak the language. He could only speak fifty cents of English and barely say two sentences.
Sergey ’s English is not very good, but he is still very willing to communicate with Lin Banxia. After all, compared with Li Su, who is full of arms and looks strange, Lin Banxia is more like a normal person in their standards, and looks It's the kind that gets along well.
The two chatted on and off. Lin Banxia was quite productive, and felt that his English for fifty cents was one cent more expensive and six cents more expensive. Sergey apparently did not know that he became the object of sparring English. He felt that Lin Banxia was really good. Not only did he save himself, he also tried to comfort himself.
"You take a rest for a while." Lin Banxia felt that he was mentally ill, and wanted him to rest more and rest, thinking about how he would stay through for a while, and forget about today.
"Okay." Sergey didn't succeed and lay next to Li Su, breathing evenly after a while.
Lin Banxia watched the campfire and listened to the whistling wind in the wasteland. There are no shelters here, and every night, the wind is like howling, hovering above their heads. From time to time, tumbleweeds are wrapped in strong winds, and smoke rolls across their eyes. Desolation is the most appropriate adjective here. Lin Banxia caught a tumbleweed and increased the bonfire more. He looked up and looked at the bright night sky. From this scenery, he tasted an exotic beauty.
However, while Lin Banxia stared at the sky, the bright starry sky suddenly dimmed. At first, Lin Banxia thought he had a dark cloud floating above his head, but when a dense buzz came from his ear. , He suddenly realized-that is the voice of the arrival of the worm.
"Li Su, Sergei-wake up soon !!" After finding out that something was wrong, Lin Banxia shouted loudly, Li Su immediately woke up, although Sergey didn't know what Lin Banxia was calling, But he also heard an anxious tone from his voice, and after getting up from the ground, he even asked what happened.
"A lot of bugs--" Lin Banxia said anxiously, "I don't know what it is, you get up!"
Li Su also heard the dense buzzing sound. He raised his head and saw the sun-drenched insect swarms. These insects spread like sandstorms towards them at an extremely fast speed.
"Where is the trough, how the can you run away!" Experienced Li Su quickly judged the situation, knowing that if they raced against the swarm at this time, they would definitely not be able to run, he said loudly: "Quick Wrap your backpack and all your clothes on your head, lie on the ground and keep breathing— "
Lin Pinxia quickly followed suit. Although Sergey didn't know what was happening for a while, he could see most of the surrounding environment and Lin Pinxia's movements. He also learned what Li Su looked like, covering his mouth and nose with clothing.
But in a moment of effort, the black swarm of insects came to the front. Lin Banxia just felt a strong wind blowing, and his body seemed to be smashed by something. Then, his exposed skin felt The dense itching was obviously part of the swarm and fell on him.
Li Su knew that their own self-help measures were nothing short of money, and could only pray that these bugs were not interested in meat. Fortunately, after the arrival of the insect swarm, although he felt something fell on his body, he did not have the pain of biting, at least it shows that these insects do not eat people.
The three of them were lying on the ground, covered with dense insects. At this time, Lin Banxia only looked closely at the appearance of these insects. It was actually a black moth with a dark brown color and a strange back. At first, Lin Banxia thought it was just an ordinary moth, until a certain moth flew in front of Lin Banxia. Although the light was very dark, but between the ghosts and the gods, Lin Banxia suddenly recognized the moths on the back. Strange patterns-these patterns look like a woman's face. Lin Banxia looked closely at it, but actually felt that this face was very similar to Elena who once had a relationship, but the facial features were twisted a lot. At first glance, it was as if she were howling with her mouth open.
I don't know how long it passed. The buzzing near my ears gradually decreased. Lin Banxia felt that the resistance to the body was also alleviating, so he stood up reluctantly and saw that the swarm had gone. He shook his body and shook off all the moths attached to his clothes. His vision looked around to find Li Su and Sergey.
"Cough cough cough--" Not far from him, Li Su also got up from the ground with difficulty, reaching for his mouth and nose, and said, "Nausea is dead, nausea is dead."
Lin Banxia said: "Are you afraid of bugs?"
"Not afraid of bugs, afraid of moths." He shook his body vigorously, "You're going to take pictures for me, I'm sickened to death-how about Sergei?"
Lin Banxia said, "Where?"
With one finger, he found that Sergey, who was supposed to stand up, was still trembling on the ground. Lin Banxia gave him a strange look: "What's wrong with him?"
"I don't know, I'll ask." Li Su shook the bugs on his body and walked towards Sergey. He walked up to Sergey and whispered if he was uncomfortable. Sergey didn't answer.
"Sergey? Are you okay?" Li Su bent down and patted his shoulder gently.
Sergey's body shook violently and slowly raised his face, only to see that his face was covered with dense moths, and he didn't mean to disperse at all.
Li Su was originally afraid of moths, and was shocked by Sergey's appearance. Goose bumps immediately covered the entire arm, and he hurriedly shouted at Lin Banxia: "Quickly, come and help him—"
Lin Banxia strode over and reached out to take down the motionless moths on Sergey's face. When he took the shots, he found that the moths treated him and Sergey seemed to be different. To be precise, the moths were in them. It was just like passing by. When I came to Sergey, it seemed that he was coming towards him. Some moths even tried to get into Sergey ’s ears. Fortunately, they were too big to get in, but they also Creepy enough.
It took Lin Banxia some time to take all the moths clean, and then looking at Sergey, the whole person stood stiffly, standing still, like a stone statue, without even moving his eyes.
"Dude, are you okay?" Lin Banxia asked him worriedly.
Li Su also asked a question, his eyelids jerked abruptly, as if he was awake at the beginning of his dream, with words that Lin Banxia couldn't understand. I don't know if it's useful, but at least, Sergey's mumbling stopped.
Although the swarms have passed, the moths still crawling on the desolate sand and rocks. Lin Pinxia lit a bonfire to drive away the swarms as much as possible, leaving a place to rest. Throughout the process, Sergey stood motionless, and he suddenly opened his mouth to Li Su as if to ask a question.
After listening to Li Su, he did not answer.
Lin Banxia didn't understand, so he asked Li Sergey what he asked. Li Su glanced at Lin Banxia and said, "What are you most eager for? What are you most afraid of?"
Lin Banxia thought for a moment and was about to answer. Li Su made a stop gesture and took out a dollar from his pocket. He photographed Lin Banxia's chest and said: "Forget it, I know what you are afraid of- Be good, go light the campfire. "
"Good brother Li!" Lin Banxia was not afraid of anything, and the ignited beauty went away.
After a while, the fire ignited, and all three couldn't sleep. Sergey and Li Su squatted beside the fire and chatted. Lin Banxia used the firelight to carefully study the banknotes in his hand. Although the moth on Sergey's body was cleaned, his heart was severely traumatized. He stared faintly at the fire in front of him, and said some stories about himself and Elena in his mouth.
Jelena was the longest partner he had been with. The two were very close together and even had private contact. He thought he knew her well. However, he knew that Jelena was dead and he found nothing about this girl. Knowing that he did n’t even know she was pregnant. If he knew, he would n’t let her take the task. When he went out, he must find Elena ’s irresponsible boyfriend, beat him hard, and beat him hard. He said this sentence many times, and he could see his regret and pain in his expression.
Li Su listened next to him, and did not try to give any suggestions for people coming. He has been doing this for a long time. He has been used to this kind of thing. Not only the recorder, but even the talented monitors have been killed and injured, heresy. No one can anticipate the danger posed by the thing, and only the strong spirit and keen judgment can resist it.
How many people can have a strong spirit, Li Su thinks, most people are just ordinary people who have barely withstood some tests.
Elena is an ordinary person, and Alexei is also an ordinary person, so they are all dead, and no one even figured out how they died.
The sorrow in Sergey's voice grew stronger, and he said, "Did you think Irina blamed me before she died."
Li Su said: "If she is really the girl in the description, I think she will not blame you."
"But I always feel that she is behind me." Sergey lowered his voice, with a panic in his tone. "Always ... following me."
Li Su frowned. Yesterday, he finished the mental test for Sergey and determined that Sergey was not crazy. So why would someone who is not crazy say such a thing?
Today's day, the light is extremely slow.
The rising sun rises slowly from the horizon, and the light shining thinly does not make people feel warm. The wind in the wasteland was even stronger. The campfire was covered with charred corpses of moths. They had tried to pounce on the light, but did not realize that the fire was an illusion. When the real light came, it was no longer reachable.
The three were on the road again.
The sight is desolate, and I can't see where the end is.
Lin Banxia did not know how long they would continue to walk like this. This endless journey made people feel more desperate and tortured. Since the moth came, Sergey's mental state is getting worse and taller. His body gradually rickets, often looking back from time to time. But there was only a wasteland behind them. No one knew what Sergey was looking for.
After five or six days of walking like this, on a certain evening, a strong wind suddenly blew up in the wilderness, enveloping the sand, and obscured their vision. The three were forced to stop and camp on the spot.
In the past few days, Lin Banxia kept trying to ask Li Su where their destination was, but Li Su refused to answer, just telling Lin Banxia that when he got there, he would know. Lin Banxia couldn't, but could only stop.
Sha Chen flew for one night, and the three didn't sleep well. Until dawn, the sand gradually faded away. Lin Banxia, ​​the vigil, suddenly saw a black building at the end of sand dust. He thought he had misread it at first, but only after sand dust stopped completely, he was sure that he did not have hallucinations. Not far from them, a small city really appeared.
Li Su, Li Su! ! "Lan Banxia pushed Li Su to wake up and shouted," You will wake up soon. " "
Li Su woke up and said, "What's wrong?"
Lin Banxia said: "Look, look!"
Li Su looked at the place where Lin Banxia pointed, and his eyes lit up. Lin Banxia said: "Is this the place we are looking for, that thing is inside?"
"Hush." ​​Li Su made a silent gesture, as if afraid of disturbing something. He glanced at Sergey who was still asleep next to him, and said, "We have to go."
Lin Banxia saw him with a serious expression, and felt a little strange in his heart. This small city didn't seem to be far away from them. Why Li Su's tone was so heavy, as if it was to reach the small city, it was not easy. Just when Lin Banxia thought so, Li Su gently awakened Sergey.
"Sergey." Li Su said, "Are you all right?"
Sergey opened his eyes, and the blankness in his eyes quickly faded. He heard Li Su's question and nodded.
"Do you want to go with us? It doesn't matter if you don't want to." Li Su said, "We leave you more food, you are here waiting for us ..."
Sergey said, "I want to be with you."
Li Su said, "Are you sure?"
Sergey said: "OK." His eyes were stubborn and firm, and he answered Li Su's questions without hesitation.
"Okay." Li Su said, "Let's go."
The three of them carried their luggage on and went on. On the way, everyone was very quiet. Li Su didn't seem to want to talk. As the only interpreter, he didn't say it. Lin Banxia and Sergey could not talk naturally .
As the distance from the town got closer and closer, Lin Banxia also saw the building in front of him. This is a large block of stone building covered with blue moss, and there is no trace of human activity. From the perspective of architectural modeling, this is not like a residential area, but rather like a temple or something, but because it is old, it seems to be dilapidated, surrounded by many round long columns, the entrance is a tall arch The shape of the door is painted with complicated and delicate patterns, and it can be seen that the craftsman who made this arch has superb skills.
At the door, Li Su, who had been nervous, suddenly exhaled heavily and said: "Finally came in--"
Lin Banxia said, "Why are you so nervous?"
Li Su said: "Because our previous team has also seen this small city."
Lin Banxia said: "Why didn't you come in?"
Li Su said: "Because some people do not want to come in."
Lin Banxia froze for a while, and suddenly understood what Li Su meant. He experienced these things here, and vaguely felt the strangeness of this place, as if Alexei lured him with gold, this place , It seems that the most anticipated things in the human heart will appear. But the heart is as complicated as it is, and the most desired thing may change at any time and any place. Li Su's team also tried to enter this building. However, before approaching, he was changed by the idea of ​​someone in the team.
"I don't want to go in, I don't want to be close to here, I am afraid, I want to go back--" The longing thought formed the substance, and when Li Su and they responded, the building in front of them disappeared and they returned to the strange forest again Everything fell short of success.
It's no wonder that Li Su refused to tell Lin Banxia the truth, and he seemed so nervous when he saw this city.
Sergey didn't understand their conversation, and he didn't care about it. After he was sure there was no danger ahead, he took the lead.
"It seems to be an altar here." Sergey looked around and said, "On the map, here ... should it be a small town?"
Li Su looked at the map and said, "It should be."
He walked inside a few steps and stopped suddenly. He said, "What is that?"
Lin Banxia looked in Li Su's eyes, and actually saw a large blood stain on the ground. This is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that this blood stain is actually fresh. Someone has been here shortly before them! !
"Will it be your team? Or Song Qingluo them?" Lin Banxia came to the spirit.
"Go, look over." Li Su followed the blood stains all the way forward.
The blood stain continued until the front of a building was suddenly broken. Lin Banxia bent down to check the ground and was surprised: "This ground seems to be hollow--" He knocked hard, "Below There should be a secret way. "
"I'm coming." Li Su said.
Lin Banxia originally thought he would use some tricks to open this organ. Who knows Li Su picked up Sergey's □□ and loaded it, then slammed two shots at the ground. The stone slab was directly punched by him, and a dark tunnel was exposed in the back.
The strong smell that filled the tunnel suddenly poured into their noses. Lin Banxia was planning to ask Li Su if he wanted to go down, and felt that his feet were empty-the stone slabs under them were also empty. Li Su shot down directly There was a knock-on effect, and the stone slabs they stepped on were all shattered.
"Lying trough--" With a scream in his mouth, Lin Banxia didn't have time to respond, and fell off directly. He felt as if he had entered a long and narrow passage, his body constantly struck the wall, and finally fell heavily on the ground I was fortunate that I had a backpack as a cushion, so I felt a heavy object hit my stomach and almost didn't spit it out.
"Ah--" It was Sergey's cry.
"Quick, come down from me quickly, I will be killed by you—" Lin Banxia screamed.
Although Sergey didn't know what Lin Banxia was calling, he could understand from his bleak cry that he was hit by himself, so he scrambled up from him.
Lin Banxia held her stomach for a long time before slowing down. He even suspected that his ribs had been broken. The surroundings were dark. The air was filled with damp and smells, which made people feel very uncomfortable. He held on. The wall stood up and cried, "Li Su, Li Su, where are you?"
Li Su did not respond.
Lin Banxia heard a ticking sound from his ear. Something kept falling on his forehead and face. He stretched out his hand and smelled the rich smell in his palm. Lin Banxia was stiff Looked up at the darkness above his head.
