"Hey! I'm here!"
There was a creaking sound, and the tightly closed door was suddenly pulled open. Nan Song's clear and loud voice instantly came in:
"What are you guys doing? You're acting weird, are you stealing?"
However, when she pulled the door open with force, she was shocked to find that the three people in the room were turning their heads to look at her in amazement, as if they had seen something incredible.
Nansong couldn't help but feel a little puzzled. She frowned and asked:
"What the hell is going on? Why are you three looking at me like that?"
At this moment, Blore looked around quickly and found that everything around him had returned to normal.
He subconsciously looked down at the palm of his hand, only to see that it was empty. What should have been there seemed to be only some fine dust left.
Blore gave an awkward smile and lowered his hand sheepishly.
At this moment, a sudden loud noise broke the brief silence - "dong-clang-clang"
The loud noise, like the sound of a heavy hammer, came from above the cabin where they were.
The noise was so loud, as if an extremely heavy object had fallen heavily on top, making people worry that it would directly smash through the floor beneath their feet. And for the four people below, that was the ceiling above their heads!
At the same time, the large neem-colored "jellyfish" in the large water tank behind Nan Song seemed to have noticed something was wrong. Its slender tentacles quickly stretched out and flexibly wrapped around Nan Song's wrist.
Nan Song turned his head in surprise and tried to break free from the "jellyfish", but the tentacles wrapped around him tightly and refused to let go.
Just as the three people in the room were about to help, a strange voice suddenly sounded in their ears:
"Eh? The four of you standing here are..."
As the voice faded away, a figure slowly "floated" out from not far away like a ghost.
Looking closely, I found that this person's clothing was very strange and unique.
He was wearing a coat made of purple and bright red. The two colors complemented each other, making him look particularly bright and dazzling, making people unforgettable at first sight.
"Ah? Brother, you..." Ma Tuan's face twitched involuntarily.
"Haha, stop rambling! Let's cut to the chase and get straight to the point!"
The man who came in hugged Nansong's big water jar with great courage and with smooth movements, he squeezed Nansong, who was standing beside him, into the room.
At this moment, the door that was originally open seemed to have a spirit and slowly closed by itself. With a slight "creak" sound, it was closed tightly.
However, the noise outside the house did not subside at all, but became even louder.
The sound of footsteps and shouting mixed together, sounding menacing. It was obvious that the people who came had bad intentions and were not to be easily dealt with.
"Brothers, please lend me a helping hand!"
The man clasped his hands and bowed to the other four people in the room, winking and saying:
"We are all family, we have to lend a hand to our brothers at the critical moment!"
After saying that, without waiting for others to respond, he jumped onto the upper bunk in one step, then pulled the quilt over himself, and his whole body was wrapped tightly in an instant. Looking from above, not even a trace of his figure could be seen.
"But...that up there..."
Blore was about to speak when he heard a deafening knock on the door, like thunder, which startled everyone.
"Is there anyone inside? Excuse me, it seems like you were the only ones closing the door just now?"
Although the voice sounded soft, it formed a strange contrast with the loud and rapid knocking sound.
The knock on the door was like a muffled thunder, especially loud in the quiet night, as if it was going to shake the whole house down.
At this moment, Ma Tuan quickly winked at the other three people.
Everyone understood what he meant and got into bed quietly and quickly, as nimbly as a cat.
The thunderous knock on the door made the subtle noises they made as they got into bed almost completely negligible.
"Hello! We are from the expedition team. Hey, everyone is asleep. What's going on?"
Ma Tuan deliberately coughed twice, then lowered his voice and spoke in a tone that sounded a little dissatisfied and helpless.
He tried to make his voice sound natural and real, hoping to deceive the person outside the door.
However, the person behind the door did not seem to believe Ma Tuan's words easily.
The man asked in a soft voice, "Are you from the expedition team? Are you going to investigate that incident?"
This strange voice makes people feel creepy, as if it comes from another world.
Before Ma Tuan could answer, the person at the door asked again:
"So you just..."
The conversation suddenly stopped here, leaving people with endless room for imagination.
Faced with this series of questions, Ma Tuan calmed down a little, then lowered his voice and continued to explain:
"Oh, it was me just now! I caught a jellyfish in the sea and just put it in the tank and brought it in. My companions were all asleep, and I was the last one to go in. The tank was a bit heavy, so I came back a little late..."
“Oh… sorry to bother you guys…”
