Chapter 541 Next Stop (8)
Qiao Xi was a little surprised.
Perhaps she hadn't expected Ye Ran to take the initiative to ask her to team up with him. So when she heard the boy say this, she nodded slightly and agreed with a smile without much hesitation.
"OK."
The rules state that everyone must have at least one experience of getting off the train.
Sooner or later, you have to go through this again.
Sooner or later, someone will have to join her team. Qiao Xi originally thought that by then, they probably wouldn't be too willing to do so.
After all, she is indeed having difficulty moving now.
So in the eyes of normal people, this is equivalent to a burden. Whether it is Zhang Qianxia or Chen Kexin, their attitude is indeed a normal reaction.
People must consider themselves first.
In addition, when girls team up with other girls, there is no way to quickly make up for the difference in physical fitness or strength.
So I was paired with two other boys.
It is indeed their best choice.
When it comes to life and death, it's not a big deal. It's human nature to think about yourself. At least they didn't mock Qiao Xi or look down on her outright.
No one can blame them for such behavior.
It's just human nature.
Perhaps they might be criticized morally, or feel guilty or uneasy, but they are powerless to change the facts before them.
so.
I really waited until Qiao Xi got off the bus.
There still has to be a boy who stands up to team up with her, but choosing to team up with her means bringing a burden, and the probability of death is very high.
Not everyone has the courage.
By then, she will most likely be abandoned.
But now that Ye Ran had taken the initiative to propose it, Qiao Xi felt a little surprised. After all, in her expectation, it would take at least some debate before a reluctant person would be chosen.
Qiao Xi sat aside and opened her lunch box.
Ye Ran didn't mean to leave. He just sat in the seat next to her and chatted with her casually.
In the live broadcast room.
The user who had previously gifted Qiao Xi a paper figurine also saw it and felt a little regretful.
[Cement Crack: Alas, this child is so yielding, he is bound to suffer losses]
The audience member who gave Qiao Xi a reward with the soul-summoning talisman also appeared at this time and echoed the words.
[Lying down: The crying child gets candy, but the sensible child gets no love]
Because everyone knows that sensible children will not act unreasonably.
We also understand that although sensible children may be a little unhappy, they will be willing to give up their share after being coaxed.
So no sugar.
Used to coax children who are crybaby, willful and like to play tricks.
When the audience in the live broadcast room were discussing.
Zhang Qianxia and Chu Mingjie had also gotten off the car. Chu Mingjie kept his fists clenched and started looking around as soon as he got off the car.
This is different from the previous site.
A place like an ancient temple.
When they got off the bus, they were right at the entrance of the ancient temple.
The temple is filled with thick
"It seems like there's an update on my phone."
Zhang Qianxia looked around and noticed her phone vibrating. At this moment, she took out the distributed phone to check the latest announcement.
They arrived at the second stop.
The updated announcement is the same as last time, just wishing them a good time.
but……
Zhang Qianxia held her phone tightly and couldn't help but look back.
They stood at the door of the ancient temple.
Behind him were tangled brush and a tattered fence, and in the distance, a forest shrouded in thick fog. The sky was dark, and visibility was very low in the thick fog.
Only the shadows of a few trees were visible.
The breeze blowing in their faces was a little chilly, and in front of them, only the ancient temple had some light.
Lighted candles.
The flames danced, creating a faint halo.
The ancient temple looked a bit dilapidated. In the middle was a statue of an unknown object, not the Buddha that Zhang Qianxia was familiar with.
She thought.
Maybe it's a god?
"Are you okay?" Zhang Qianxia turned her head to look at Chu Mingjie, who was clenching his fists and taking several deep breaths to adjust his mentality.
To be honest.
She was a little worried, she couldn't quite empathize.
Although I was afraid that something might suddenly run out, I wasn't so scared that I couldn't move my legs or walk.
so.
When Zhang Qianxia discovered that Chu Mingjie's condition seemed a little abnormal, she was also worried.
Hear her voice.
“…”
Chu Mingjie just shook his head silently and let out a long sigh, as if he was struggling and hesitating about something.
Regroup your mood.
He calmed himself down and hesitated for a long time before hesitantly stepped over the threshold and walked into the ancient temple.
Zhang Qianxia saw this.
I didn't know what to say, so I could only hurry and follow.
The little paper figure standing on her shoulder.
Now it has changed into a sitting position and looks very well-behaved. With this little paper figure, Zhang Qianxia feels a lot more at ease.
The two began to explore the ancient temple.
The photo album in the group requires uploading photos of checking in at tourist attractions, which means finding a statue to take a photo at sunrise.
Even a picture of the statue was given.
It's still a twenty-four hour countdown.
Zhang Qianxia had heard Ye Ran say before that twenty-four hours was not the time they had to wait for sunrise, but the countdown for them to eliminate the hidden monsters.
The monster is dead.
There is sunrise.
Zhang Qianxia was extremely nervous, her heart was pounding, and she was so flustered that she couldn't calm down.
She was so nervous herself.
Naturally, she didn't have any extra time to care about Chu Mingjie, who was standing next to her in an even more serious condition than her.
The two remained silent.
Walking side by side in the ancient temple, Chu Mingjie also turned on the flashlight function of his mobile phone.
Walk into a dark passage leading underground in the ancient temple.
Nothing.
There was only the sound of their intertwined footsteps and their even breathing.
In this atmosphere, Zhang Qianxia couldn't help but clench her palms. She didn't know if it was because of her emotions or because she was just too nervous.
Gradually.
She began to feel something strange.
And this feeling was one she was all too familiar with, the feeling of being about to explode.
The air seemed to be slowly being sucked out at this moment.
To become thinner.
She felt as if her chest was blocked by something, and suddenly became heavy and stuffy. It was as if someone began to extract oxygen from her lungs, and then deprived her of it bit by bit.
Zhang Qianxia was a little flustered.
Unable to control her hands which were already showing signs of trembling, she suppressed the strong urge to cough and hurriedly searched for the aerosol from her body.
Proceed as usual.
She opened the bottle cap, sprayed it, and inhaled it. The heavy, suffocating feeling that had been weighing heavily on her chest dissipated a lot.
Chu Mingjie noticed her actions.
He also slowed down his pace and looked back at Zhang Qianxia.
"How are you feeling?"
He seemed to have considered it for a while before he slowly asked.
If you listen carefully.
It wasn't hard to tell that Chu Mingjie's voice was trembling. Clearly, he couldn't get over the hurdle in his heart; his fear of the unknown demon was far beyond his imagination.
Only courage was not defeated.
That's already the maximum limit.
"I'm fine, I'm feeling better." Seeing this, Zhang Qianxia put away the aerosol and smiled, a little unnaturally.
It had only just begun.
She's showing signs of an attack...
Zhang Qianxia's mood also became a little heavy, and she secretly condemned herself for being useless.
Chu Mingjie didn't say anything else.
However, a thin layer of sweat had already seeped out of the man's clenched palms, and he was on the verge of a fierce emotional struggle.
Zhang Qianxia didn't say anything else.
I fell into self-blame and began to worry about whether my body could hold on.
The two fell silent again.
Chen Kexin, who was looking at the display screen in the carriage and paying close attention to their movements, began to feel a little anxious.
"Can they do it?"
Chen Kexin looked at Chu Mingjie and Zhang Qianxia who fell into silence again, and finally couldn't help but complain.
"One or two of them are so bored, what should we do?"
Fortunately, her first stop was to team up with Ye Ran.
If it weren't for Ye Ran livening up the atmosphere and arguing with her, the process would have been a little easier. Otherwise, it would have been Chen Kexin alone.
It's hard to say whether it can hold on.
Fortunately, it was Ye Ran who pulled her away.
If she teamed up with someone like Chu Mingjie, she would be suffocated to death, or both of them would be finished.
Now Zhang Qianxia follows Chu Mingjie.
It's impossible to say that she's not worried. Although her relationship with Zhang Qianxia has been a little bad recently, it did ease a little yesterday.
Everyone is already here.
The matter was settled, and Chen Kexin was no longer so angry about being dragged here by Zhang Qianxia. She still had to find a way to survive first.
Although Ye Ran seems unreliable.
But it is reliable at critical moments and can give people a full sense of security.
Anyway, Chen Kexin herself was quite fortunate.
But now it was Zhang Qianxia's turn. Even through the screen, she felt depressed by the atmosphere.
Each one more nervous than the other.
What should I do?
"Maybe they won't make any progress for a while."
Ye Ran, who had already taken some snacks, sat on a seat on the side, eating a bag of potato chips while glancing at the big screen.
They have basically no entertainment here.
The software that can be downloaded on the mobile phone is very limited.
Ye Ran downloaded a few games for fun.
Nowadays, a simple game has almost reached a hundred levels. It is really boring to this extent.
Chen Kexin was still a little worried.
Ye Ran went back to his room to take a nap, while Qiao Xi held the little bear in the carriage, looking at the unchanging scenery outside the window.
It's getting dark.
Chu Mingjie and Zhang Qianxia were still groping in the ancient temple.
Since entering the underground passage, they had carefully remembered the way they came in. However, when they tried to get out, they found themselves back to where they started.
They kept circling in the deep end.
"Have we... encountered something unlucky? Perhaps the legendary ghost wall?"
Zhang Qianxia looked at the mark that appeared before her.
My heart gradually sank.
This was the third time they had returned to the starting point. Not to mention getting out of the underground passage, the endless darkness was almost causing them to have a mental breakdown.
Chu Mingjie was more silent than ever.
He just stared at the old mark that appeared before his eyes, muttering softly: "Curse..."
"What?"
Zhang Qianxia didn't hear clearly and wanted to get closer to hear what he was saying.
However.
Just as Zhang Qianxia took a step towards him, Chu Mingjie became excited in an instant as if facing a great enemy.
"This must be God's curse!"
His sudden increase in voice really scared Zhang Qianxia.
"Calm down, Chu Mingjie, this isn't true..."
Zhang Qianxia could only try her best to persuade him.
However, Chu Mingjie, who had completely collapsed mentally due to extreme fear, did not react at all to her words, and could not even hear a single word she said.
Just taking care of yourself.
He grabbed his hair in pain, held his head with both hands, struggled, and muttered in a low voice like a madman.
"You won't forgive me, you won't forgive me..."
He kept repeating this sentence.
His trembling pupils had completely exposed his intense uneasiness. Zhang Qianxia was also a little flustered. She had never expected Chu Mingjie to become like this.
"No, there will be a way, calm down!"
She also shouted louder.
However, Chu Mingjie could not hear anything, as if he was irritated by Zhang Qianxia in front of him. He glared at the woman in front of him with hatred.
He turned and ran, completely immersed in the darkness.
"Chu Mingjie!"
Zhang Qianxia shouted helplessly, but received no response. In just a few seconds, the darkness completely swallowed up the other person's figure.
She wanted to pursue him.
However……
The dull feeling of pain lingered, and Zhang Qianxia knew that if she started running, she would inevitably fall into the painful suffocation of being unable to breathe, and she couldn't take that risk.
I dare not.
What should I do now?
Zhang Qianxia stared blankly at the mark next to it. It was where she and Chu Mingjie had dripped wax from a candle.
After walking a certain distance, you have to turn.
They will mark it.
But I turned back several times, and it was the same no matter which way I went.
Zhang Qianxia felt a little helpless.
Looking at the darkness ahead, she felt as if something was chasing her from behind, driven by unprecedented loneliness and fear.
What should I do?
Can't be alone, it's too dangerous.
Moreover, Chu Mingjie's emotions are unstable, and it is very likely that something will happen to him.
At least it's safer for two people to act together.
Zhang Qianxia thought so.
She forced herself to look for Chu Mingjie in the direction he had disappeared. She turned on the flashlight on her phone, lighting the dark road ahead and retracing the path she had taken before.
And just as she walked away.
The few drops of wax that were supposed to serve as a mark where she and Chu Mingjie were standing suddenly disappeared.
It's like someone took it away.
The surging black shadows rushed along the wall.
In the darkness, a faint, not very real, snickering sound could be heard gradually fading away.
Until it disappears completely.
[Sister carrying a doll: Ah, this wave is so cute Barbie]
[Walking to the garden to see the cherry blossoms: I was getting anxious looking at them. Can't they see? There's a pair of hands covering their eyes, and they're sitting on their necks.]
[The baby is crying and looking for his mother: he may have vision problems]
[The bird in the tree is laughing: "It's been five hours, and they still haven't noticed. I feel a little worried."]
The audience in the live broadcast room was very confused.
They discovered it from the very beginning. When the two passengers entered the ancient temple, the doll flew out of the statue and rode on their necks.
He quietly covered their eyes with his hands.
It is said that when you enter the underground passage you will encounter a ghost wall.
Actually…
Chu Mingjie and Zhang Qianxia had been circling in the lobby of the ancient temple.
