25 Cave 09 Strange Sounds
Yan Shuang also handed over the ticket and stood beside Jing Ning and looked at him: "Is she?"
Jing Ning pursed her lips: "Maybe..."
After everyone checked their tickets from the woman, the woman, enveloped in white mist, suddenly shouted, "Sorry to bother you all!"
The sound seemed particularly abrupt and loud in the open space, making people feel a chill.
The echoes surged like waves, layer upon layer.
Jing Ning frowned and stared at the woman's every move.
The people around were caught off guard by the sudden, deafening shouting and trembled all over, with expressions of astonishment on their faces.
Then, they all looked in the direction of the sound with doubtful and vigilant eyes.
At this moment, the woman shouted the same words three times in succession. Her shrill voice seemed to have some kind of magic, piercing everyone's eardrums.
Finally, after the third shout, the fat man who had been standing silently nearby suddenly became extremely excited. He widened his eyes and shouted, "The fog is gone! The fog is gone!"
At the same time, the entire scene seemed to fall into a dead silence. Everyone stared blankly at the scene before them—the fog that had originally permeated the surroundings, as thick as ink, actually receded as quickly as the tide, disappearing without a trace in the blink of an eye.
What caught the eye were rows of red chairs in the theater that wrapped around the stage, with beams of red light shining on it, making it difficult to see what was going on.
Tall and stately stone pillars support the broad porch, carved with elaborate patterns and designs, and the walls are painted dark brown.
The woman also disappeared along with the fog.
"When did she disappear? Did anyone of you see her?" Ye Qi hid behind her boyfriend, her voice filled with horror.
"Gone?" Xu Yaoyu widened his eyes in disbelief and looked around.
"Don't look for it anymore." Lin Haichen said, "It really disappeared along with the fog."
Lin Haichen's words plunged the entire space into a dead silence. Everyone was silent, as if time had stopped.
Only Chen Rujing looked pale, his body trembling slightly, and he looked around nervously.
"Did you... hear any sound?" Chen Rujing asked anxiously, her face pale and her expression panicked.
The fat man gritted his teeth and tried to remain calm, but his eyes revealed a hint of panic: "Don't scare me, I have to pee!" Although his words were tough, they could not hide the fear in his heart.
"I think that woman is just playing tricks on herself...you are just scaring yourselves." With each sentence he said, the confidence in the fat man's eyes was gradually eroded, and was replaced by deep fear.
Lin Haichen suddenly stretched out his hand, tightly grasped Chen Rujing, who was already frightened to the point of being unable to bear it, and asked, "What did you hear?"
Chen Rujing was startled by this sudden action and instinctively tried to break free, but her left shoulder suddenly sank and Jing Ning held her down tightly, making her unable to move.
Jing Ning looked at Chen Rujing seriously and said word by word: "None of us heard any sound except you." His voice was low and powerful, like a sharp sword, piercing straight into Chen Rujing's heart.
Chen Rujing's heart was pounding wildly. He was already timid, and now he was terrified. Jing Ning's words filled him with immense fear, as if the entire danger was closing in on him. "You're the only one who can hear this now. If you don't tell us, then we can't help you," Jing Ning continued, his tone tinged with helplessness and determination. He then slowly loosened his grip, allowing Chen Rujing to regain her freedom.
However, Chen Rujing did not leave immediately. Instead, he stood there, his lips trembling, "Save me... Please... Save me... I don't want to die! Save me..." His voice was full of despair and fear, echoing in the silent air.
"There are so many people... so many voices..."
"You fucking..." The fat man's voice sounded irritably, but Jing Ning glared back at him before he finished speaking.
"What did you say?" Jing Ning asked.
Chen Rujing's face turned pale. "I can't hear clearly... Anyway, it's very noisy... It feels like the place is packed with people."
"This bastard must have been scared silly by this! Is he hallucinating?" The fat man tilted his head and looked at him.
Yan Shuang looked up at Jing Ning with a serious expression. He knew that Chen Rujing was definitely not hallucinating because of fright. He really heard the sound, or there was a group of invisible things here besides them.
But why was Chen Rujing the only one who could hear it? Or had the rules caught up with him?
"The time is coming." Lin Haichen said.
As time slowly approached, Chen Rujing became more and more anxious. His hands trembled more and more violently. He could hardly control his emotions and flew into a rage, "What should I do? Didn't you say you can help me if I tell you? Come up with a solution!"
"Calm down." Lin Hai said solemnly.
"I've been working for half a month without a break. I finally got a day off, but I ended up in this hellish place. Why did I have to go through all this?" Chen Rujing became increasingly agitated. "How can I stay calm? I was the only one who heard those strange noises. How can I stay calm? Oh, I finally understand you guys. You all talk better than you sing!"
The fat man watched the fun from the side and said, "Wow, you've made some progress."
"How can you say that? Who doesn't want to leave here?" Xu Yaoyu muttered.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I just…" Chen Rujing's expression darkened as if she had suddenly come to her senses. She clenched her fists tightly, her nails digging deep into her palms. "You guys have to have a way, right?" His voice was tearful, as if he was pinning all his hopes on the people before him.
"Some things are useless to rush." Yan Shuang looked at him and said, "We didn't say we won't help you, we just don't have any clues yet."
Jing Ning looked up at the center of the stage, seeing nothing had changed, and then said, "Let's go in."
Suddenly the fat man looked embarrassed and stared at the few people with pleading eyes.
"Are you scared now? Wasn't you very powerful in talking just now?" Tian Yiyi hugged her arms. Although she was about 1.6 meters tall, her aura was not inferior to that of the fat man.
"Big sister..."
"Who is your elder sister!" Tian Yiyi frowned.
"Miss..."
Tian Yiyi: “…” Can someone come and cut off his tongue?
"What do you mean by looking at us like that?" Tian Yiyi said, resisting the urge to roll her eyes.
"That's it..." The fat man hesitated, but still gritted his teeth and said, "My stomach hurts."
Seeing that they were indifferent, the fat man had a painful expression on his face. He covered his stomach with one hand and said with difficulty, "This time it's real. I really need to go to the bathroom."
