"It's very evil under the altar. Some things are unclear, but we can at least be sure that they are not in the palace building. We still have to go outside again."
Yue Guanchao knew in his heart that if even the backpack disappeared, it meant they were really not here anymore.
The two of them knew that it would be useless to continue searching, so they immediately went down the stairs and returned to the building door.
The place has long been quiet. Yue Guanchao leaned down and opened the crack in the door to take a closer look. It seemed that the female corpse figurines were not found alive. They kept wandering in the altar, like a group of headless flies, sometimes getting together and sometimes scattering, and they let out an unpleasant whine in their throats. Ah.
Seeing that he was about to open the door, Lu Fengjian quickly stopped him: "Guan Chao, I have been thinking just now, why we have been walking around for so long without seeing any movement among the female corpses. Siyuan woke them up after taking a photo only once. The problem may be that camera."
"You mean, they are afraid of being photographed?"
Lu Fengjian shook his head and pointed to the flashlight in his hand: "I'm afraid of the light source!"
He paused and his tone became mysterious:
"Have you not noticed that since we entered the altar, there are fewer and fewer caves above our heads, and the only light sources are very dim. We can only see clearly with a flashlight."
"The violent flash of the camera woke them up. In addition, in order to see the direction clearly, we could only turn on the flashlight. It is like an injured hare, which will continuously attract wild wolves. If we understand it this way, we can Explain why they keep chasing us."
After being reminded by Lu Fengjian, Yue Guanchao suddenly realized and slapped the back of his head:
"Oh, you mean, they don't care about the light source, they just regard the things that can emit light as living creatures, so they attack us."
"right!"
Lu Fengjian continued his efforts and proposed his own method: "If we continue to look for them with a flashlight, we will only attract the female corpse figurines. I think we can only look for them in the dark."
"Is this really what you said?"
Although Yue Guanchao was willing to believe it, he still had some doubts. If his guess was wrong, they wouldn't even be able to tell the direction of their escape without the help of flashlight light.
"So, we have to try it to make sure they are indeed sensitive to light sources."
Lu Fengjian wanted to open the window and turn on the flashlight, but Yue Guanchao grabbed it and stretched it out the window. The moment he turned on the flashlight, the female corpse figurines were alert at the same time. They looked at the window with horrified white eyes. Some corpse figurines even turned their heads. My neck is about to break.
In an instant, all the corpse figurines were running toward the flashlight light. Yue Guanchao turned off the flashlight in time just as they were about to surround the window.
"Hoho~ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh"
The female corpse figurines originally came to chase the light source. The sudden darkness made them stop shouting violently in an instant, and they continued to scratch at the window coffin. The creaking sound was like nails scratching a wooden board, which made people extremely irritable.
Yue Guanchao observed carefully and found that it became extremely quiet after the light source disappeared. From this point of view, it was indeed more sensitive to the light source, but he didn't know why.
He nodded to Lu Fengjian through the dim light, and the two of them opened the door carefully. Even though it was proved that the female corpse figurine was sensitive to light, they didn't feel confident opening the door rashly.
The two took a deep breath and walked out of the gate with their hearts beating nervously.
After taking one step...two steps to confirm that the female corpse figurine had no interest in them, Yue Guanchao and the others were relieved and became less nervous.
"Watching the tide, we have to find a way to attract the female corpse figurines. If they walk around, it will be dangerous for us to find people."
"clear!"
Yue Guanchao stopped, took Lu Fengjian's flashlight, and threw it into the gatehouse as soon as he opened it.
The female corpse figurine noticed the light, and rushed towards the flashlight one after another, scratching and biting into the air.
They thought they were devouring living creatures, but in fact they were just the corpses of other female figurines, like a group of cockroaches in a dark corner, biting away the corpses of their companions.
In just the blink of an eye, dozens of corpse figurines were already standing near the gatehouse!
They walked fairly smoothly in front of the gatehouse with the help of a flashlight, but as they walked further and further away, the surroundings lost their light source and sank into darkness.
As the field of vision disappeared, subtle noises began to appear in the ears of Yue Guanchao and Lu Fengjian:
The messy steps, the hoarse growl, the squeaking and rubbing of fingernails, the swaying of skirts, the tapping of stone slabs...
Although the two of them could not see clearly, their auditory senses were stimulated to their maximum potential. Movements that they would not normally notice were constantly reaching their ears from all directions.
Both Yue Guanchao and Lu Fengjian understood that without the lighting of a flashlight, it was equivalent to being blind, and the only thing they could rely on was their hearing.
If they don't listen carefully to the sound, they will be doomed once they hit the corpse puppet.
The two of them thought clearly, each of them worked hard, and kept listening to the slightest movement in the air with their ears raised.
Plop~Plop~Plop~
In the absolute silence, they could even hear the rustling and thumping of their heartbeats. All the slightest movement was beating in their ears, disturbing their concentration.
They took a deep breath and went upstream along the wave of corpse figurines, walking among the corpses and avoiding one monster after another.
