A few days later, when she learned about the former again.
People are dead.
She had seen corpses. They were crowded in a cabinet that even children could not get into. Their eyes were wide open and they were already so thin.
The doctor said...it was a sudden death due to a heart attack.
But she knew that all of this was done by Chen Ran.
Because...she found dense carvings in the cabinet where her teammate finally died, messy and twisted...each word seemed to be filled with boundless resentment and fear.
Chenran...disciple...
Disciples...
Diplodocus's body trembled unconsciously.
Are they involved too...
Damn...
"Click——"
A slight noise woke up Diplodocus, who was lost in memories. She was stunned for a moment, and then immediately retreated quietly, hiding her body in the darkness.
She lowered her body and hid beside a broken stone pillar, looking around cautiously.
Diplodocus's first reaction was that those who called themselves Blackstone Town had sneaked in, because the sound she heard came from the direction of the door.
Although she closed the door, she could climb in through the window.
Although the space here is huge, it is not easy to find a person due to the stone pillars and countless broken stone sculptures.
Of course, that's assuming those guys coming in...are actually human.
Rather than some weird weird stuff.
She held her breath and looked around with a pair of slightly bright eyes.
By the light of the fire not far away, she accidentally discovered that the surrounding terrain was much more complicated than she expected, covered with stone pillars and various stone carvings.
She blinked in confusion, but...why did she always feel like something was wrong?
This location was carefully chosen by her. It was located on the right side of the center of the building. It had a relatively wide field of vision, which would help her immediately detect the return of her teammates or who was coming.
Since when have there been so many obstacles around us?
She suddenly realized this.
Or... stone sculpture?
Her eyes slowly swept over the stone sculptures, and a very strange thought emerged in her mind. These stone sculptures were of different sizes, the large ones were three or four meters high, and the small ones were about 2 meters high.
The only thing they have in common is that they all look terrible.
They have different shapes, some look like a shark with a pair of wings behind it, some look like a combination of a toad and a lizard... In short, they all look like monsters that only exist in myths.
People who can carve these things are... pretty strange.
Or perhaps an abstract lunatic, Liang Long thought.
Just when she withdrew her gaze and prepared to concentrate on finding the "infiltrator", an accidental glance caught her attention.
Something seemed to...move at her side.
Turning her head to look, her heartstrings that were tense for a moment suddenly relaxed again.
"Huh-" She let out a long breath.
It is a stone sculpture.
At less than 2 meters, it is considered an inconspicuous little guy among all the stone sculptures.
The stone carvings were in dilapidated condition and were covered with fine cracks, as if they would break apart if touched.
However, what made Diplodocus slightly uncomfortable was that the stone sculpture tilted its head, and a pair of huge, fly-like symmetrical eyes looked right at his position.
"It's just a sculpture..." She comforted herself in her mind, and then forced herself to look away and search for a location she had not searched before.
Still starting near the fire, she slightly poked her head out and looked at the window.
But as soon as she took this posture, as if something was guiding her, her whole body suddenly paused.
"Why...why do I need to probe?"
You could clearly see the window when you squatted here just now, why can't you see it now?
Following her gaze, she discovered the reason.
A strange stone sculpture lying on the ground blocked part of her view.
As if she realized something, her teeth began to chatter uncontrollably. She turned her stiff neck, and soon, she saw a scene that she would never forget in her life.
Next to the fire, all the stone sculptures within sight were tilting their heads at a strange angle.
Stare at yourself.
...
Beside a dying fire, stood a large man, his shadow reflected on the ground, swaying with the occasional passing wind.
The reason why he is described as large rather than strong is because he is just fat.
"Did Diplodocus go back first because she was afraid?" Fatty asked after swallowing his saliva.
Jiang Cheng squatted on the ground, as if looking at something. After a while, he stood up, looked around, and said, "There's no way she can go back in the dark."
Jiang Cheng pointed to an inconspicuous corner on the ground, where a wooden stick with a burnt front end was thrown away.
This is their homemade torch.
The front end is wrapped with something similar to cloth found in the lighthouse basket, and then dipped in some grease, so that it can continue to burn for a long time.
When they came down, each of the four of them had one.
Although there were dead branches collected on the ground, these were obviously not as useful as torches.
Jiang Cheng took a few more steps, but it was mainly due to his nose that he smelled a very special smell. He found a pool of liquid less than 2 meters away from the fire.
The amount is small, but the smell... is really extraordinary.
Fatty Diandian followed, ensuring that the straight-line distance between himself and the doctor was within the 3-meter safety zone.
"This is... what is left here by Diplodocus..."
It wasn't a questioning tone, Fatty just thought that Diplodocus was quite cautious.
If it were him, he would never stray too far from the fire.
In a nightmare, there are not many things that can comfort oneself. The warmth and light brought by the flame are definitely what everyone dreams of.
"She goes to the bathroom here all the time, so she definitely won't go far away for no reason," Fatty said while touching his nose. "She must have run into something or something and left as a last resort."
"Maybe he died directly next to the fire," Chenran looked around and said, "That's hard to say."
The fat man, who was standing in front of the fire to keep warm, suddenly felt bad all over.
He avoided Chenran and chose to lean closer to the doctor, whispering: "Doctor, could it be that those guys in Blackstone Town captured Diplodocus?"
"No," Jiang Cheng didn't even want to answer.
The fat man blinked, "Why?"
"I can't figure out what their purpose is for doing this?" Jiang Cheng replied, "Is it to torture the intelligence? Or what? We have already sent him to the door. Wouldn't it be unnecessary for them to arrest Diplodocus again."
"Or do you think they think one Diplodocus is worth more than the three of us?"
Fatty thought for a while and nodded.
"Mr. Hao," Chenran's voice sounded from behind, "Look what I found?"
A metal sports watch appeared in Chenran's hand.
He pointed at his feet and indicated that he found it here. "It seems that Miss Liang's luck has not always been so good," Chenran said with a shrug.
