Iron Snow Clouds

Chapter 2119 (Two Thousand One Hundred and Nineteen) Legs Weak

"Hasn't found it anywhere?" Tie Wandao asked.

"Yes, Chief." The subordinate said, "There is none... anywhere."

"Then did you go there for nothing?" Tie Wandao said, "You must have discovered something!"

"I...I found that there was no one...anyone up there." the subordinate replied.

Tie Wandao said, "You look so frightened. What scary thing happened to you just now?"

"Clan... Clan leader, this... this matter is scary enough." said the subordinate.

Tie Wandao glanced at him and said, "Is that all?"

"Yes." The subordinate said, "There is no one up there, really no one! But...but there is singing, there is really singing! There is no one...then where does the singing come from?"

"Who are you asking?" Tie Wandao said, "If I knew everything, would I have asked you to go up and watch? You speak as if I were the one singing it!"

"No... that's not what I meant. I still feel that the sound is like... like it came from above the Muxi Pavilion, but the sound is vague, and I can't... find where it is coming from." said the subordinate.

Tie Wandao asked: "You didn't find anything, so why did you stay there for so long?" "I... I was looking." said the subordinate.

"Is there such a big place up there?" Tie Wandao asked, "Did you spend so much time looking for it?"

"I...I searched very carefully." the subordinate replied.

Tie Wandao asked: "Are you so scared that your legs are weak and you are walking very slowly, afraid of running into a monster every time you take a step?"

Tie Wandao just asked casually, but to a certain extent he accurately described the state of his subordinates at that time.

At that time, the subordinate kept thinking of the ghost stories he had heard when he was a child. Since he went up there, he had been worried about what the ghost would do to him after he met it, so he always felt something was unusual when he saw it. When he saw the wall, he felt that there was a strange shadow on the wall, but when he looked closely, he found that there was no shadow at all. When he saw the spider web, he felt that he saw a spider on it. The spider was getting bigger and bigger, and its legs stretched out to him, as if it wanted to grab him, but when he looked closely, he found that there was only a spider web there. Similar things happened again and again, hitting his heart again and again, and he had difficulty walking when his legs were weak with fear. Sometimes, although he was walking, he felt that he was crawling on the ground with fear, and his actual speed was very slow. He had experienced this feeling of fear many times on the way to Muxi Pavilion the day before, and later he realized that he seemed to have seen those scenes because he was just thinking too much. Every time he felt something unusual around him on Muxi Pavilion, he would soon know that those terrifying scenes were not real, but were probably his own imagination. He felt that this was closely related to the ghost stories he heard in his childhood. When he told Tie Wandao about this later, he naturally would not describe the scene he seemed to have seen before. He knew that if Tie Wandao took it seriously, he would most likely be considered to have deceived Tie Wandao, and the consequences would be too serious.

At this moment, after hearing Tie Wandao ask him that, the subordinate said, "To be honest with you, Chief, I... my legs did feel weak at that time."

Tie Wandao said: "You are still sweating! You are so scared!"

The subordinate wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve and said, "Please forgive me, Chief. I really feel very scared! There is no one around, but there is singing."
