Huo Liang lowered his voice and whispered in my ear, "Aren't we here to get the Suihou Ghost Pearl? Why are we going to the Thousand Human Graves?"
I shrugged and said, "Do you think Ning Changfeng would just hand over the Sui Hou Ghost Pearl to us so easily?"
Huo Liang was stunned.
I added, "What's more, this matter is related to Ning Xue, who still doesn't know the truth. Even if Ning Changfeng doesn't say anything, I will still investigate."
At this time, Ning Changfeng gave each of us a flashlight and asked us to go in. At first I didn't know, and I thought Ning Changfeng was going in with us because he also had a flashlight in his hand, but after we went in, before we could react, the boulder made another "boom" sound and quickly closed the Thousand People's Tomb.
"Fuck!" burst out of my mouth. What the hell was Ning Changfeng trying to do? Was he trying to lock us up in a mass grave? Why would he do that? Or rather, what was he afraid of? Was he afraid I'd uncover the truth, which was why he was so brutally killing me?
In an instant, all sorts of thoughts raced through my mind. In the pitch-black cemetery, I couldn't see my hand in front of me. The only sound I could hear was Huo Liang's voice comforting Zhao Xi. After a while, Huo Liang and Zhao Xi both turned on their flashlights and looked towards me.
I don't need a flashlight, I just put it in my bag.
Huo Liang walked up to me and said, "Now it's all over. We're all going to die in this mass grave."
Zhao Xi's face turned extremely pale. He asked me, "Xu Fei, what's going on? Why did Uncle Ning lock us up in this mass grave?"
I shook my head and said, "Even if you ask me, I don't know. Don't worry, go inside and take a look. There might be an exit."
As I said that, I took the lead and walked into the dark cave. Huo Liang and Zhao Xi saw me and quickly followed. They kept shining their flashlights behind me, which made me very depressed. I said, "Don't shine the flashlight on me. Shine it on the ground or the side."
Huo Liang asked in surprise, "Can you see the road clearly without a flashlight?"
I said nonchalantly, "I can even see ghosts, do you think I can see the road clearly?"
The mention of "ghost," especially given the current situation, frightened Huo Liang and Zhao Xi, who suddenly hugged each other tightly. I didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so I said nothing more. I walked in a dozen steps before realizing there was a thick wall ahead. There was no way out!
After returning, he explored several other rugged acupuncture points, only to find bones scattered all over the ground, cold winds howling, and solid walls on all sides. There was no exit at all!
We returned to the massive stone gate of the Thousand Massacre Tomb in vain. We could still faintly hear car horns honking from outside, but no human voices could be heard either in or out. But one thing was certain: Ning Changfeng had left.
At this time, Zhao Xi's stomach was still aching badly. She was about three or four months pregnant, and her belly had already begun to swell. I asked Huo Liang to take care of Zhao Xi while I went inside to check again, but still couldn't find the exit. When I returned, Zhao Xi and the others were already rumbling with hunger. No wonder, Ning Changfeng had taken us to the Thousand People's Tomb and locked us in so early in the morning without even having breakfast.
It was already around ten in the morning. Seeing Zhao Xi's stomach aching and being hungry, I couldn't bear it and quickly took out two loaves of bread and a bottle of mineral water from my bag. Perhaps they found it strange that I had bread and other things hidden in my bag, so they both looked at me in surprise.
I said noncommittally, "I usually don't have a fixed place to stay. I eat wherever I go, so it's normal for me to carry food with me. It's not much, though. Only enough for one person for three or four days. If there are three of us, I'm afraid it won't last more than two days."
I also ate a piece of bread and drank two sips of mineral water. At this time, Huo Liang took out his cell phone, as if to call for help. After a long time, he found that his phone had no signal. Even more strangely, even the emergency number was dead. The same thing happened to Zhao Xi's phone.
Not to mention I don't have a cell phone.
Huo Liang kept muttering, "How could the emergency call be muted? This is impossible..."
Generally speaking, for an emergency call, no matter where you are, even if there is no signal or network, you can dial a number like 110. However, in the Thousand Mass Graves, for some reason, no matter what number you dial, there is either no signal or no sound.
Finally, Huo Liang sat on the ground in frustration, shouting, "It's over, it's over... We're all going to die here."
Zhao Xi looked at him and said, "Don't be discouraged, we still have time. - Right, Xu Fei?" She turned to look at me, but her eyes were helpless and pitiful.
I nodded in a daze. I only knew that I couldn't let Zhao Xi down!
"You guys rest here for a while, I'll go inside and take a look." After saying that, he walked inside.
All I saw along the way were corpses strewn across the ground, and the stench of decay drifted into my nostrils on the chilling wind. Frowning, I walked into a dead end and groped around the walls, finding that while they were solid, they felt like dried sand. The slightest touch would cause chunks of mud and rocks to fall off.
I followed this dead end, slowly groping my way along the wall. Suddenly, I felt a tingling sensation in my fingertips, causing me to pull my hand back. I looked up at the wall and saw that there was a small arc in it. If I approached it, I would get shocked.
There's hope!
The more this happened, the more excited I became. I slowly reached out and touched the curved wall. At first, it was like a kitten playing with a ball of string, and it would bounce back as soon as I touched it. Then, I gradually got used to it. The electric numbness was not that strong, and I could still hold on.
