Chapter 255: Mouse Door
The shape of this small iron door is very strange. The reason why I say it is strange is that I have never seen such a door before.
This is an inverted triangular door. Several bloody handprints can be faintly seen on the rusty iron door. A ferocious rat head is carved in the middle of the iron door.
Under the illumination of the flashlight, it looked particularly eerie, and I always felt that the rat head was staring at me.
"Fat man, have you ever seen a door like this?" I asked.
"No." The fat man shook his head like a rattle: "Chinese dynasties have never had a tradition of making doors into triangles! What's more, they put a mouse head on it."
"Is this the tomb of a certain ethnic minority?" I adjusted the flashlight to the maximum and carefully illuminated the carvings on the door.
I know that many ethnic minorities in China believe in strange animals. For example, the Yao people believe in toads and the Yi people believe in deer. So, could the rat in front of me be a totem of a certain ethnic group?
Unfortunately, there is no word on the small iron door except for the oversized rat head, so I can't judge its origin at all.
"Don't worry about it, just go in and take a look and you'll find out!" The fat man's eyes flashed as he ducked in the door.
But I stayed where I was and didn't take any risks with the fat man, because I always felt that this was too weird.
If this is an ancient tomb, why is the tomb door open? How can the owner of the tomb leave the door wide open for tomb robbers?
And who left the bloody fingerprints on the small iron door?
Could the lifelike rat head relief be related to the corpse rat?
The fat man's body was too bulky, like a clumsy big bear. He rubbed against the small iron door again and again. The iron door creaked but he couldn't get in.
It seems that if he wants to go in, he needs to learn the bone-shrinking technique.
I ignored the fat man, but held lanterns with Wang Yuanchao and observed this mysterious underground space.
This place is like an air-raid shelter used to avoid Japanese bombings during the Anti-Japanese War. Both sides are covered with thick soil, and the entire tunnel is dark and long.
Strange, why was such a tunnel dug halfway up the mountain?
What would be the scene behind the small iron gate? Big question marks popped up in my mind.
Unfortunately, my flashlight didn't shine far, and the gap in the middle of the small iron door was blocked by Fatty. It was impossible to see what was behind the door, so I asked Fatty to hurry in.
"Fat man, hurry up, everyone is waiting for you alone..." I said as I walked forward with a flashlight on.
But halfway through, I stopped because I suddenly realized that something seemed to be following behind me, and that thing kept staring at me.
Staring at him made my spine tingle.
Who wouldn't be afraid of such a sudden feeling in such a place where you can't even see your fingers?
I glanced back secretly from the corner of my eye. It didn't matter if I didn't look. I was almost scared out of my mind when I saw it.
A pair of big green eyes were floating in the darkness, staring at my ears!
This eye is as big as a light bulb, much larger than the previous corpse rat's eyes.
I was startled by the sudden appearance of these eyes, and the flashlight fell to the ground with a 'pop'. I wanted to join the fat man like crazy, but my legs felt like they were filled with lead, and I couldn't move no matter how hard I tried.
.
Just when I was scared out of my mind, the fat man's voice came from the other side of the small iron door: "Dingdang, what the hell are you doing there? Can you come over and help me? The fat man's ass is making the door jammed.
Already."
I quickly picked up the flashlight and flashed the light a few times to signal the fat man in the dark to stop talking.
We had agreed before setting off that flashing the flashlight three times meant danger.
When the fat man saw my warning, his tone suddenly became more serious and asked: "Dingdang, what's wrong with you?"
I knew that the fat man didn't see the pair of green eyes behind me, so I squatted down and carefully shined the flashlight behind me: "There is something behind me, I don't know if it is a human or a ghost."
"It's over now!" When the fat man saw those eyes, he screamed instantly, and his reaction seemed to be even more intense than mine.
When I saw the fat man looking like this, I secretly thought something was wrong.
Fatty is usually not a serious person, so anything that makes him serious must be a big deal.
"Ding Dong, have you noticed that there are still many corpse rats outside that have not followed?" the fat man said with a stern face.
"Corpse rat?" I immediately realized the problem.
Yes, although we fell into the pit, corpse rats themselves are animals that live in tombs. This ancient tomb is their hometown, so there is no reason for them not to follow us? But right now... only a few are here.
That's all, even the corpse rats that were previously stuck to Fatty's body are all gone. The only answer that can be explained is that the place where we fell may be inhabited by something even more terrifying than corpse rats!
I suddenly remembered the black shadow that Wang Yuanchao was following when we first boarded the ghost ship. Wang Yuanchao said that the black shadow was almost as big as a cow. Could it be that the black shadow followed us?
The more I thought about it, the more scared I became.
Just when I was in a panic, a dazzling light suddenly appeared in the darkness. It turned out that Wang Yuanchao took out the green phosphorus from the lantern and polished it again.
The moment green phosphorus is polished, it will release a large amount of light and heat, just like the flash of a camera. Through the light, we can clearly see every plant and tree within a radius of ten meters.
But this brightness can only be maintained for two or three seconds, so I don't care about anything at the moment and look at those green eyes as fast as possible.
