I’m asking for leave again today and will make up for it tomorrow.
The night black is so thick, it's like being able to pull out silk.
All light was swallowed up, and the searchlight in his hand was compressed into a corner by darkness. It was not enough for illumination, and at most it could provide some psychological comfort.
Tick tock, tick tock...
There is the sound of water droplets around, which is extremely clear and easy to distinguish.
The searchlight was raised upwards, approaching the location where the sound of water dripping came from.
The biting night wind blows head-on, like a fishy stench wrapped in gauze, hitting your face, suffocating and frightening.
When a weak light was placed near the source of the sound, the blood dripping down the corpse was extremely red under the pale light.
Drop by drop, it hit the thumb-width hairy grass, slid down the grass stem, and soaked into the brown-gray soil, dyeing the soil reddish-brown.
Ta, tap, tap...
Normally no one would notice a very subtle sound, but to nervous people, any sound would be amplified a hundred times in the dark.
The dead person was a twenty-year-old girl, wearing a white college jacket. There was a tear mole the size of a rice grain in the corner of her eye. At this moment, the piece of flesh was torn apart by something.
But her expression didn't show any pain, and she looked like she was in a state of ecstasy and enjoying herself, even though her limbs were broken, rotated 180 degrees and tied in knots behind her back.
But for the living people, the more this is the case, the more it makes people feel numb and desperate.
"This is the third person killed."
The young man closest to the corpse spoke. He pushed up the glasses on the bridge of his nose. He seemed calm but could not hide the fear in his eyes, and his body was shaking imperceptibly.
His name is Li Rui, he is the organizer of this supernatural adventure, the president of the supernatural club, and a senior.
"Everyone, don't get lost anymore, and quickly find a way to get out of here."
After speaking, Li Rui turned around and faced the others, unwilling to take another look at the body.
Some of the students who were opposite Li Rui noticed that after Li Rui turned around, the corpse's eyes moved, glaring fiercely at his back from top to bottom, but no one dared to say anything more, and even suspected that it might be... I saw it wrong.
Although they are members of the supernatural club, they only join it for fun and do not believe in the existence of monsters and ghosts.
After going up the mountain, when the first person had an accident, Li Rui announced the end of the event and took everyone back the same way, but for some unknown reason, they got lost.
"We can't see anything in the dark at night. We've lost our way again. President, why don't we find a place to rest for the night and then start our journey tomorrow?"
"It was Xu Lu before, and this time it's Li Xia. Let's not talk about whether we can find a way back, but what if something happens to someone again?"
A short and chubby boy made a dissatisfied noise. He held a compass watch tightly in his right hand. With his fingers hard, the hands of the watch rotated irregularly. It was unknown whether it was pinched or for other reasons.
Li Rui instinctively felt bored and angry when he heard the complaint in Pang Dun's tone, and wanted to scold him, but his eyes touched the tired and pale faces of others, and the words on his lips changed.
"Okay, let's find an open place to rest for the night. We will go down the mountain early tomorrow morning. Everyone will take turns keeping watch tonight. One person must be left awake."
After speaking, Li Rui didn't care what others thought, and took the lead to leave the place where a corpse was still hanging.
People in the club were having troubles one after another. It was a crisis to stay in this eerie place for a second longer, but it was so late and people's energy was limited. It was true that he was eager to lead people to find a way out, but that didn't mean that others were happy.
"Bah! You are so self-righteous. If he hadn't started this bullshit activity, would we be like this?" After Li Rui walked a few meters away, Fat Dun spat, muttered a few words in a low voice, then threw away the broken guide sheet and followed.
The faces of the men and women surrounding Fatty showed dissatisfaction, and they did not dare to lag behind Li Rui.
A gust of cold wind blew from the other side of the woods. The corpse hanging on the treetop swayed in the wind, and the warm blood was thrown on several students who were closer to the corpse, scaring them so much that they screamed and ran after Li Rui.
The students did not dare to go into the woods, so they returned along the path they had found. They remembered that when they came, there was a creek outside the woods, and on both sides of the creek were grasslands with a wider view.
There is no road in this mountain. There are old trees that block the sky and sun, thorns covered with barbs, or wormwood covering the waist.
Because it is summer, even if you wear long sleeves and long pants, you still can't stop all kinds of bugs from getting into your clothes. At first, some female classmates were so frightened that they screamed. Now they have become accustomed to it. However, if they encounter it, they will still ask the boys around them for help. .
Brushing away the weeds blocking the road, stepping on their roots and moving forward, the searchlight swayed as he walked, and it suddenly seemed that he was stepping on a woman's hair.
When they heard the sound of gurgling water like blood flowing in their veins, everyone's tense nerves relaxed a little.
A man and a woman were the first to run to the stream, holding water from the stream in both hands and pouring it on their faces.
"It's great. I can finally rest. It's been a whole day. We'll leave here tomorrow."
"Well, we can leave tomorrow!"
One after another people walked to the grass, put down their backpacks, took out the tents they had prepared, and started to set up camp.
Li Rui chose a location to camp close to the creek. The angle was just right to put everyone under his nose, and it also had the widest viewing angle.
"Yin Li, let's stay together for half the night."
A pair of big, calloused hands were placed on his shoulders. Yin Li turned his head and glanced at the taller boy wearing a red T-shirt beside him and nodded slightly.
But just after nodding, Yin Li didn't know what he thought of, and quickly shook his head: "Brother, I'll watch you for half the night, you can watch the rest of the night."
When the accident first occurred, the entire club was in chaos, pushing and pulling. If something happened at night, the night watchers might not have time to escape. Although everyone seems to be calmer now, this is because of the horror. Things don’t appear head-on.
"Okay, then I'll keep watch for half the night and you can keep watch for the rest of the night." The boy nodded, but he didn't care about it. He just wanted to keep watch with Yin Li so that he could have someone to talk to.
As he spoke, the boy turned his eyes and used the lanterns lit by the people around him to notice something that seemed to be between the fur and grass in the distance, up to his thigh.
"Isn't this a cemetery?" He came casually.
The girl who was packing her backpack next to Yin Li's two cousins jumped up in fright, and scolded in a shrill voice: "Song Ning asked you if you are still free, aren't you scary enough? Can you please stop talking nonsense!"
Hearing the girl's angry tone, the boy rolled his eyes speechlessly, and shined the searchlight in his hand into the grass: "How big is your face? What do you have to scare me?"
Song Ningwen's disdainful tone made the girl blush. Her eyes followed the light of the searchlight and fell on the moss-covered stone tablet in the grass. The rosy cheeks that Song Ningwen had reprimanded suddenly turned pale, and her whole body became cold and screamed. He stepped back and fell to the ground in a panic.
