Su Mu did not expose his little thoughts. In the nightmare world full of dangers, Ye Fanyu still had value.
"Hey, someone, please send someone to take a look."
"Yes, leader!" Zhao Chaoyao immediately assigned someone in the team. The man was naturally fearless. He lit the lantern and went down to the cellar.
Everyone was watching from above, watching the faint candlelight gradually go deeper and then be swallowed up by the darkness bit by bit.
After a moment, the younger brother's voice came from below: "Leader, there is no danger inside."
Su Mu's expression remained unchanged. He did not go down, but ordered, "You come up first."
"Yes, Chief!"
Afterwards, the younger brother climbed up unharmed. After Su Mu looked at him carefully, he was completely sure that there should be no danger in the cellar.
Ye Fanyu had said before that villagers could change their appearance and imitate people close to them. If a villager in the cellar killed a member of the Viper Gang and turned into his appearance, then going down rashly would definitely be dangerous.
"What's down there?"
"Reporting to the leader, it's very dark down there, there are some dried bloodstains on the wall, and there are also torture instruments, but those torture instruments are quite special, mostly whips, chili oil, ropes, cross locks, etc...."
Ye Fanyu laughed sarcastically: "It seems that this village chief is quite playful."
Su Mu frowned slightly: "Let's go down and take a look. Yang Dongqing will lead the way."
As a meat shield, Yang Dongqing naturally has to be at the front.
The silent Yang Dongqing took the lead and went into the cellar, followed by Ye Fanyu, and then Su Mu.
Soon, everyone went into the cellar, leaving only a few younger brothers to guard outside.
The cellar was about fifty square meters in size and was completely dark. Only the lantern in my hand could barely illuminate the way ahead, and the cellar was filled with the smell of decay.
"Let me do it." Ye Fanyu was probably really hungry and couldn't wait any longer. He stretched out a finger, and whoosh!
A blazing flame appeared at the fingertips, and the light it emitted was several times brighter than a candle, instantly illuminating the entire cellar.
At this time, everyone had a clear view of the cellar. The surrounding walls were all made of cement with many mottled bloodstains on them. Those bloodstains had long been imprinted on the walls over time, appearing a dark black color.
There was a huge cross lock in the middle of the cellar, with blood stains on the handcuffs and shackles. It looked like someone was fixed on it in the shape of a big character.
Next to the cross lock was a wooden table on which were displayed whips, short sticks, candles, and some women's clothing.
Seeing this, it is not difficult for everyone to imagine what this cellar is used for.
"Fuck!" Ye Fanyu cursed inwardly: "Why use a good cellar to store food instead of doing these things." He stepped forward and picked up the unused red candle on the table.
"Fortunately, there are still three candles left, which are still of some use. Mr. Su, there are many of you, so I'll keep one candle and share the rest among you."
Ye Fanyu was responded to by dead silence.
He tilted his head slightly, looked at Su Mu and others, and asked in confusion: "Su..."
As soon as he said a word, he realized something was wrong, because Su Mu and others' eyes were all focused on the cross lock behind him.
His scalp suddenly felt numb, and he retreated without thinking, away from the cross lock. As he retreated, he turned his head and looked out of the corner of his eye, and his pupils suddenly contracted.
It turned out that a woman appeared on the empty cross lock at some point!
The woman was thin, with disheveled hair, and wore a blue dress with white flowers. She was fixed in a cross lock in the shape of a big character.
Her messy hair blocked her face, and her floral dress was stained with blood and dirt.
Everyone looked at the woman as if they were facing a great enemy. Ye Fanyu, who was frightened, was even more shocked and angry, and he ignited the fire bomb in his hand that was used for lighting.
Leaving a long trail of fire in the air, it fiercely blasted towards the woman.
However, the flaming bullet went straight through the woman's body as if passing through the air, and finally hit the corner of the cellar, bursting into a bright spark.
The blow caused the entire cellar to tremble, and a lot of dust fell from the roof.
Zhao Chaoyao, with quick hands and eyes, suddenly pulled his suit off, then swung it violently, holding the suit open like an umbrella to block Su Mu's head.
"This is... a silhouette of time!" Ye Fanyu said in surprise.
"What is time silhouette?" Yang Dongqing asked at Su Mu's eye signal.
Ye Fanyu took a deep breath and said, "I also heard from others that the so-called time silhouette is to cut out fragments or pictures of time like paper cutting. To put it bluntly, it is like watching a movie, and the director is time. Everything that happens is recorded by time, and then because of some mysterious power, it appears.
The nightmare world is very special, and the time here is distorted, so the time silhouette phenomenon is very easy to occur. It should be that I just took the candle and triggered some opportunity, causing the time silhouette.
Everyone can rest assured that Time Silhouette only displays sound and images and does not pose any danger. "
"Is time so boring? Record everything?" Yang Dongqing frowned as he looked at the woman in the picture. He was very disgusted with this kind of thing.
Ye Fanyu shook his head: "Not everything is recorded, only some people or things with special meaning, or the protagonist in the picture is in some extreme emotions, which resonates with time, will be recorded.
In this nightmare, the time silhouette was actually triggered. Maybe the woman in the picture is the source of the dream. In other words, this is her nightmare!"
"Her nightmare?" Yang Dongqing's eyes fell on the woman's floral dress: "Her clothes are very retro. They don't look like modern people, but more like people from decades ago. Could this be a nightmare from decades ago?"
“That should be the case. The nightmare world is made up of endless nightmares. Modern people have nightmares, and so did ancient people. So sometimes it is possible to encounter ancient scenes in the nightmare world.
The boundary between dreams and reality is broken, and even time is in chaos."
While everyone was talking, suddenly one more person appeared in the time silhouette. It was a young man with dark skin and an honest face. He appeared in the picture with a plate of steaming dumplings in his hand.
A thoughtful look appeared in Su Mu's eyes: "There was this man among the villagers before."
Everyone looked over quickly and indeed felt that it looked somewhat familiar.
"Tingting! Tingting! I'm here to see you." The man walked quickly to the woman and said happily, "Tingting, look, I brought you your favorite dumplings."
At this moment, the woman in the cross lock seemed to be awakened and raised her head with difficulty, and everyone finally saw her face clearly.
