The cabinet door was opened by Jiang Shan, and the items inside made the two people's eyes widen again.
It was so stuffed that one thing even popped off and fell to the ground.
Jiang Shan picked it up from the ground. It turned out to be a folding knife. The rust could already be seen on the surface, but it could still be seen that the knife was extremely exquisitely made. The letters VICTORINOX were engraved on the blade. It was heavy and obviously not like the knife. It's an ordinary folding knife.
Zhao Ying's eyelids twitched: "Is it a Swiss Army Knife?"
It's not the common kind, it's a larger, wider and longer folding saber, and it looks like a limited edition.
Zhao Ying also has a mini Champion at home, which she usually uses to cut nails and peel fruits, but she would never buy such a big knife for daily household use.
Beijing and Hong Kong are very strict about the control of knives, and you will never be allowed to carry knives over a certain size, and the knife in front of you is obviously beyond the specifications.
"How can you pass the security check of the aquarium with such a knife?" Zhao Ying wondered.
Even employees cannot avoid security and bring knives in directly.
Not only the knife, Zhao Ying saw several clothes in the cabinet crumpled into a ball and stuffed inside. She reached out and pulled, and a coat was pulled out.
This dress is actually quite heavy, and the fabric is extremely thick, not like it is for this season at all.
Until Zhao Ying unfolded the entire clothes, showing a look of astonishment. There was a belt hanging around the waist of the clothes, and a carabiner was tied to the belt.
"This seems to be... mountaineering clothing?"
It’s a Swiss Army Knife, and it’s a mountaineering jacket. It doesn’t look like something that an aquarium staff would have, right?
"The air on the top of the mountain is thin and the temperature is low. Mountaineering clothing is designed to be windproof and cold-resistant. It is designed to protect people who climb." In any case, it is not what people who work in aquariums need.
At this time, Jiang Shan seemed to feel a pair of eyes in the darkness... as if staring at them.
Jiang Shan was immediately alert. She scanned the room. Is there a third person here?
But Jiang Shan didn't see anyone within his range of vision.
But the feeling of being stared at has not disappeared at all, and it seems to be very close.
Jiang Shan suddenly turned his head and stared at the closet.
This cabinet is very deep, and apart from the clothes Zhao Ying pulled out, there are obviously other things in it.
"Zhao Ying, be careful and stay away."
Zhao Ying was about to continue the inspection and couldn't help but paused: "What's wrong?"
Jiang Shan's muscles all over her body tensed up, and she saw something vaguely moving deep in the cabinet.
"Did you hear it?" There was a sound, which seemed to be hissing or crackling.
Zhao Ying was subconsciously nervous by Jiang Shan's appearance. She held the candle and took a half step back. "This wardrobe has been locked for several months. It's really strange that these clothes and items haven't turned to dust."
The Swiss Army Knife seems to be old, so it’s understandable that it’s kept until now, but these clothes are still quite intact.
"Squeak, squeak..." It was like something was scratching the bottom of the cabinet, making a sound.
Jiang Shan smelled a stink, which was different from the rotten stink of the aquarium. It was another, more disgusting stink.
The key is that Jiang Shan thought he had smelled it before. It still feels familiar.
Like the smell of dead cockroaches exuding from every corner of the orphanage.
Soon enough, a thick black shadow shot out from the depths of the cabinet, too fast to see clearly what it was.
Jiang Shan only reflexively hugged Zhao Ying, and the two of them rolled around wildly on the ground for several times, and hit the wall directly.
"Hey, my candle!" The candle in Zhao Ying's hand flew out and went out, and she couldn't help but cry out in pain. Also drowned in darkness again.
Jiang Shan turned his head to the direction of the cabinet just now, his eyes were as wide as bells, and his hands holding Zhao Ying were trembling.
That's, that's...
As soon as Zhao Ying recovered from her dizziness, she noticed Jiang Shan's abnormal body reaction. Jiang Shan was shaking even harder than her, and his body was like sieve chaff. Moreover, Jiang Shan held her neck tightly at this time, making her almost speechless.
Zhao Ying couldn't help but her eyes moved in panic in the darkness. Unfortunately, she couldn't see anything now. What's wrong? Why was Jiang Shan so scared suddenly?
Jiang Shan's intuition was not wrong. There were indeed "eyes" watching them both.
It's just that this eye is not human, it is one, only, only - a "compound eye".
Countless compound eyes only found in insects.
"Ashan, what did you see?" Zhao Ying finally asked in a trembling voice.
Jiang Shan seemed to be breathing heavily several times in the darkness, "Zhao Ying, let's, let's run."
Just as Jiang Shan finished his words, "cracking, crackling, crackling, crackling..." came from the darkness. This time the sound sounded very close to them.
Jiang Shan jumped up and dragged Zhao Ying up, "Quick! Run toward the door!"
Zhao Ying felt herself being pulled by Jiang Shan's strange force and rushed forward crazily. Her heart almost jumped out of her chest, especially on one of Jiang Shan's arms that she held tightly, as if a layer of blood was rising. Dense goosebumps.
I have never seen Jiang Shan lose his composure in such a scary library before. It feels like Jiang Shan's panic level has reached its peak at this moment.
"Help!" It was stuck in Jiang Shan's throat and could pop out at any time.
"Crack, crackle, crackle."
This voice seemed to have never been shaken away, and always seemed to be very close to them.
Jiang Shan was shaking more and more violently. Zhao Ying wanted to look back several times, but she also felt it. What on earth was following them?
She really wanted to scream for help, which was the body's subconscious mechanism.
The door is close at hand, you just need to hurry up and you can get out.
But Jiang Shan failed. Her two legs eventually failed to run through the "six legs".
Zhao Ying's eyes had somewhat adapted to the darkness at this time. She tried her best to look over. What was going on? Why was it that there seemed to be a "tortoise" lying in front of them?
"Crack, crackle, crackle."
How could any turtle make such a sound, and... the turtle in front of them "walked" toward them. Six, six legs?
Zhao Ying thought she was being deceived, looking at the thing slowly crawling towards them.
"Hiss, hiss." It's hard to describe the sound accurately, it's a bit like the sound of a fly flapping its wings.
A sound that makes people feel sick and bored.
Jiang Shan stood with a pale face. At this time, the thing was blocking the door. Jiang Shan couldn't get out even if he wanted to.
She was finally convinced that this thing should be a huge, ugly, mutated cockroach with green compound eyes, oozing pus and a foul smell.
She, she is really afraid of nausea!
Jiang Shan now wishes he didn't have these eyes. The clearer he sees, the more he wants to dig out his own eyes.
