Chapter 51: Where the Light Can't
"We have to go down quickly," said Flora.
"Uh... let's go slowly, we'll arrive soon."
Su Ming couldn't think of a good reason, so he could only treat the other party casually.
Flora stared at the steps beneath her feet, was stunned for a while, and nodded blankly.
The three of them continued to walk down, and as they continued to move down, Flora's spirit became even more abnormal.
Her originally dull spirit gradually became tense. She often looked around sensitively, as if she was looking for something.
She now looks like a sensitive mentally ill patient, and like a herbivore targeted by a carnivore.
In this staircase, the lighting range of light is only one meter away. No matter how she observes the surroundings, she only sees dark black like ink. But Flora cannot stop looking around, as if she tried to open her eyes wide and could see what was behind the darkness.
"Su Ming, do you feel it? Someone is watching us." Frola pulled Rasuming's sleeve and lowered her voice.
Su Ming stopped, felt it for a while, and shook his head.
"I didn't feel anything."
"Yes, really!" Frora held Su Ming's hand tightly, her knuckles turned white, "Let's go quickly!"
Su Ming could no longer say anything comforting, so he had to continue walking.
Maybe half an hour or an hour?
Su Ming can't estimate it.
In short, after walking down for a long time, unexpected situations happened.
This time, the accident happened Flora. She first raised her doubts and said that the light of the flashlight seemed to have become brighter.
At that time, Su Ming didn't find anything strange, because they had just changed the battery of the flashlight.
But after walking down for a few minutes, Flora began to become something wrong. She suddenly stopped and grabbed Su Ming who was going downstairs.
"Hmm? What's wrong?" Su Ming said with concern.
Flora opened her eyes wide and stared at the darkness in front of her, her body trembling uncontrollably.
Her hands holding the flashlight kept shaking, and the light of the light kept shaking.
Su Ming, who was very close to her, could hear her intermittently, like the sound of breathing squeezed out of her lungs.
Her chest kept rising and falling, and her breathing gradually became rapid and heavy.
Suddenly, Flora seemed to lose her strength and her body fell backwards. Su Ming was quick-eyed and quickly hugged the other person's waist so that she would not fall on the steps.
Su Ming felt that the other party's body was as cold as ice.
"What's wrong with Flora! You're talking!" Su Ming looked in the direction of Flora's sight and saw nothing.
Flora held the railing and maintained her body's balance, saying in an almost trembling voice: "You...didn't you see it?"
The moment he saw the other person's eyes, Su Ming's heart suddenly tightened, and they were eyes stained with fear.
"What did you see?"
"... strange... thing!" Flora squeezed out two words from her mouth.
"What monster?"
"But, Alice... is still below... she is calling me." Flora said in a crying voice.
She began to answer questions that were irrelevant.
"Calm down, calm down, I didn't see any monsters, it was you who had an illusion." Su Ming kept rubbing the other party's hands, trying to attract the other party's attention in this way and relieve the other party's emotions.
But Flora seemed to have not heard it, and her eyes could not be moved away from the darkness, as if there was a monster hidden there.
But Su Ming couldn't feel anything there. At this moment, he really hoped that super intuition could work and told him if there were any monsters ahead, but super intuition had no prompts.
No, maybe there was no abnormality at all, so his intuition was unresponsive.
Is this Flora's hallucination?
Not necessarily, he remembered that in the information, people who enter here will encounter monsters, and perhaps Flora really saw the monsters.
As for why only Flora saw it, it was probably because of the most abnormally affected by the three of them.
In short, necessary intelligence must be investigated.
Thinking of this, Su Ming asked again: "Flora, can you see it clearly?"
Flora nodded stiffly, her expression was very painful and entangled.
“How far is it from us?”
“…”
"Tell me! How far is it!" Su Ming raised his voice and said.
"3 meters...4 meters? I don't know... it's very close." She said in a low voice.
Su Ming hesitated for a moment, turned to Xia Xiaoyu and said, "You cover me up, the monsters here are likely not to hurt the people coming in, but I may be out of control."
"If you lose control, I will control you." Xia Xiaoyu said.
Su Ming nodded, comforted Flora a few more words, letting the other party stay where he was. He carried the flashlight and walked down, and Xia Xiaoyu followed closely behind him.
He walked very carefully. Every time he went down the stairs, he would stop, sense the surroundings, listen to whether there was any noise in the darkness, and whether his intuition was reacting.
step.
Two steps.
Three steps.
...
Four steps.
There was no movement, nor did I see anything strange.
Su Ming frowned, raised his hand and hooked his fingers, signaling Xia Xiaoyu behind him to follow, and he continued to walk down several steps.
No, nothing, let alone the shadow of the monster, there is no change in the scene in front of you.
There was still a cross-welded iron railing next to it, and the steps under his feet were the same as before. Su Ming was sure that the distance he had gone down had exceeded three meters, but he saw nothing, and he had no reaction in his super intuition.
Su Ming frowned and looked at Xia Xiaoyu behind him, "Did you feel anything?"
Xia Xiaoyu shook his head with a serious expression.
"I've left almost five meters, right?" Su Ming asked.
"It must be there." Xia Xiaoyu replied.
"I think so, it seems that Flora had an illusion." Su Ming breathed a sigh of relief and turned around and shouted, "Flora, there is nothing here!"
Su Ming's voice spread out, but after a short distance, his shouting did not stir up a slight echo in the empty space.
Similarly, Flora above the steps did not respond... Didn't he hear it?
Su Ming suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart, so he turned around and walked upwards.
One step, two steps, three steps...
One meter, two meter...5 meter...
Su Ming's pace was getting faster and faster, and Xia Xiaoyu, behind him, kept following closely.
Su Ming was sure that he had just walked about twenty steps down, but now he had already walked about thirty steps up.
But Flora is no longer there.
She disappeared.
"She ran away?" Xia Xiaoyu hesitated.
Su Ming shook his head: "I didn't hear the sound."
"It is possible that there will be no sound coming from the darkness, and this may be the characteristic of this place." Xia Xiaoyu said.
Su Ming pondered for a long time and said, "Let's keep going."
"What about Flora?"
"I can't find her even if I keep moving up." Su Ming didn't look back, "Follow me closely and don't let me leave your sight."
Su Ming paused and added: "There is a problem in the places where the light cannot be shined."
