“Something’s not right!”
Standing in the well, Wang Wenlong had a strange feeling, as if he had fallen into the deep sea and his body was sinking.
His chest felt a little stuffy, so he didn't dare to stop and bent down to pick up the school sign on the ground.
His fingers touched the edge of the school badge, and the moment he picked it up, Wang Wenlong discovered that there seemed to be something pressing underneath it.
The size of a thumb, buried in the fine sand.
"Mechanism?" Wang Wenlong was very cautious. He did not touch the bulge, but pushed away the fine sand near the bulge.
"What's hidden under the sand?" His fingers had already touched the other thing. It felt different from fine sand and gravel, in that it was softer and cooler.
As the gravel slid down, a human face soon emerged, and the protrusion was the tip of the nose.
"Shit!" Wang Wenlong quickly retracted his hands. He had looked carefully before coming in and didn't find anything unusual: "It's too poisonous! It's buried under the sand!"
If Wang Wenlong had known that there was a "corpse" buried under the sand, he would never have jumped into the well alone.
He panicked and picked up the two school badges on the ground and threw them out of the dry well: "Pei Hu, help me, hurry up! There is also a dummy hidden in the well!"
"Is there a dummy in the well?" Pei Hu even took a photo with his mobile phone. There was a man's face facing the wellhead in the sand.
He shuddered and reached his hand into the well: "Strange, it didn't seem this deep when you went down just now."
Wang Wenlong grabbed Pei Hu's hand and stepped on the hideous dig marks on the wall of the well. Just as he was about to push his body upwards, he suddenly felt his ankle being touched by something cold.
He slipped his foot and fell back into the well.
"Wenlong, what's wrong with you?"
"It seemed like something touched me just now." Wang Wenlong looked at his ankle, but there was clearly nothing there.
“Could it be a gecko or a bug?”
"I don't know." Wang Wenlong looked around and found that the sand and gravel on the "corpse" at the bottom of the well would slide to both sides by itself even if no one touched it. Soon most of the corpse was exposed, and it seemed like it was about to sit up.
"It can move by itself? It can't be an actor in the haunted house! I just jumped down from such a high place. If it was a real person, he would definitely scream if I stepped on him." Wang Wenlong's mind became more and more confused, and his thoughts became unclear: "Pei Hu, pull me up quickly!"
He shouted loudly. Pei Hu, who was outside the dry well, heard Wang Wenlong's voice and quickly reached into the dry well: "Catch me!"
This time Pei Hu behaved very bravely. He held up his mobile phone in one hand to light up the well and reached the other hand into the well. His broad shoulders made him look very reliable.
"Okay!" The voice of his teammate made Wang Wenlong feel a little relieved. He grabbed Pei Hu's hand, stepped on the wall of the well, and pushed hard, lifting his body upwards.
When his upper body was about to come out, his legs that were hanging in the air were suddenly grabbed by someone!
“What the hell?!”
Halfway through the jump, he was pulled back. Wang Wenlong turned his head in disbelief and the scene he saw made him feel cold all over.
The face in the fine sand opened its eyes at some point!
"The dummy pulled me down?"
Wang Wenlong looked at the corpse buried in the sand. He always felt that the other person's eyes were looking at him intentionally or unintentionally.
"Isn't this too weird?" With his body pressed against the wall of the well, Wang Wenlong looked up. The light from the well mouth seemed to be getting farther and farther away from him. "No, I have to get out quickly! Pei Hu!"
"Keep your voice down! I feel like something strange is coming this way." Pei Hu stretched out his fat hand into the well and held it with Wang Wenlong: "Come on! Try again!"
Pei Hu pulled hard out, but Wang Wenlong seemed to have another accident in the well.
He was careful this time, and when he felt someone grabbing his calf, he turned his head and looked down.
There was nothing on his legs, but a "female corpse" emerged from the sand where he had just stood.
"There are two dummies buried in the dry well? I just stepped on the woman's head?" Wang Wenlong felt a chill in his heart, and at the same time he had a worse idea: "Could there be more dummies under the sand? Is the person who designed the haunted house crazy? Bury the dummies in the well, and then wait for the living people to jump down..."
He grabbed Pei Hu's hand and kicked his legs in the air, trying to break free from the restraints on his calves.
"Don't move! I can't hold on any longer!" Pei Hu pulled up hard, his face flushed.
He supported himself on the edge of the well with one hand, and as he dragged Wang Wenlong on the net, the feeling of uneasiness became stronger and stronger.
Pei Hu turned his head and looked around from time to time. When he looked at the road he came from, he was shocked.
At the first fork in the haunted house, there stood a girl in school uniform with her head lowered.
The dark school uniform was stained with blood, making her skin look particularly pale.
"It was the puppet I carried out!" Pei Hu felt a chill in the air he breathed, his arms trembling. "Isn't its head missing? Did the staff put it together and put it at the intersection? Yes, that must be the case. How could the puppet move by itself?"
"Push harder! The dummy's eyes are open!" Pei Hu had just calmed down when Wang Wenlong's crying voice came from the dry well.
The sound was very loud, and at the same time, the puppet with its head bowed at the fork in the road raised its head stiffly, and its face dotted with purple blood spots looked in the direction of the dry well.
"The head is moving. There might be a mechanism inside the neck. I should have thought of it earlier." Pei Hu took a breath and looked away: "We can't be disturbed. No matter what we say today, we must rescue Wenlong first!"
He concentrated his attention, but his eyes kept looking at the fork in the road unconsciously. It would have been better if he didn't look at it, but after a glance, Pei Hu's heart almost jumped out of his chest.
The puppet girl who was supposed to be standing at the fork in the road has already entered the corridor on the left!
She stood in the middle of the road, still smiling.
Pei Hu's breathing became rapid, his palms were sweating, and the fat on his body was trembling slightly.
"What are you daydreaming about?" Wang Wenlong struggled desperately, sweating anxiously as if his legs were tangled in seaweed while swimming. He saw with his own eyes the man and woman buried in the well open their eyes. Now he didn't want to think about anything else but to escape quickly: "Pull up!"
Pei Hu gritted his teeth and pulled Wang Wenlong up a few centimeters. A cold wind blew from the other side of the corridor, and he heard a slight sound by his ear. He looked out of the corner of his eye.
In the narrow corridor, the doll fell down at some point, and the simulated human head with a strange smile seemed to be pushed by a force and rolled rapidly towards the dry well!
The face of the girl, who was suffocating to death, was gradually approaching. Pei Hu's facial features were distorted with fear. At this moment, he once again obeyed the voice in his heart. He shook off Wang Wenlong's hand without hesitation, and rushed into the nearby room 303 at a speed that was completely inconsistent with his body size, and slammed the door shut.
His hand was shaken off and Wang Wenlong's body fell down. He looked at the wellhead that was so close to him, and his expression froze!
