Who is my upstairs

Chapter 136 The Fourth Person
Soon Yang Xiaofan saw the bright flashlight that Xu Gang hung on his waist shining in the dark, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

Slowly waiting for Xu Gang to slide down from the climbing rope, Xu Gang's movements are very slow, much slower than Yang Xiaofan, an unfamiliar novice.

After a while, Xu just descended to the bottom and joined Yang Xiaofan.

Xu Gang seemed to have a fear of heights. After he came down, he gasped for breath and said loudly, "I almost scared me to death just now... It's so damn tall, why is the ground so deep!"

How deep is it down here?

The three of them, each with a 15-meter climbing rope, were all connected together, just long enough.

I thought it would be a "cellar" of a few meters at most, but I didn't expect the depth below to reach a depth of 50 to [-] meters. The amount of work to be dug deep is definitely not small.

"Yes, it's so high here. Let's go up in a while, how do we go up?"

After Yang Xiaofan waited for Xu Gang to put on the black hiking bag, the two searched for a while on the altar with a bright flashlight.

Looking up at the climbing rope, Xu Gang trembled. He said, "Let's find Huangzi quickly. When we find Huangzi, let him go up first and then pull us up. I don't want to climb up again. If I accidentally slipped my hand and let go of this thing, then I won’t be able to return to its place.”

What Xu Gang said was correct. If Li Shaohuang hadn't been found, it would be extremely difficult to go up with the courage of the two of them.

Right now, only by finding Li Shaohuang first, can the three of them leave this terrible place at the same time.

This altar gave people an unspeakable weirdness. Right in the center of the altar, there stood a wooden stake about two meters long, and the wooden stake was stained with blood.

There are also several turns of hemp rope tied to the stake, and this hemp rope is probably used to bind living sacrifices.

There was also a wooden barrel on the ground next to the stake, and inside the barrel was a shallow layer of scabbed blood.This wooden barrel should be the container used to hold the blood drawn from the sacrificial body.

On the other side of the barrel is connected a [-]-centimeter-long miniature steel pipe with the mouth of the steel pipe facing down. Once the barrel is filled with liquid, the liquid inside will flow out along the mouth of the steel pipe.

Why did Yang Xiaofan look more and more familiar with this installation, she was not only taken aback, this installation is the scene in the mural in the living room.

The device painted on the surface of the mural actually appeared in this place. I am afraid that Chihiro also participated in the robbery and digging of the tomb of the Tang Dynasty, so he made the exact same device according to the instructions of the mural in the tomb.

"Xu Gang...this device is..." Yang Xiaofan was about to tell Xu Gang what he thought, when there were a few footsteps in the darkness, these steps were very light.

But at this place tens of meters away from the ground, it can be heard so clearly that the footsteps of "tower, tower, tower—" seem to be nearby.

Xu Gang didn't seem to notice the footsteps, and continued to explore the way forward. He didn't know what he bumped into, and suddenly took a step back.

With the searchlight in his hand, he almost scared the crap out of him, "Damn it, who put a dead person here, scared me to death, ouch, what a bad luck."

I saw that the position where the beam of light in his hand irradiated was a lifelike portrait.

The figure had a melon-seeded face, the skin on the face was pale, with a pair of phoenix eyes open, and a layer of rouge was applied on the mouth, but it had become oxidized after a long time, and it looked a bit gloomy.

The portrait held a wick in its hand, and a flame the size of soybeans was lit on the wick, faintly blue.

No matter how you look at this thing, it doesn't look like it was artificially shaped, and the expression on its face is no different from that of a stranger. Just when Xu just wanted to touch the portrait with his hand, he heard Yang Xiaofan shout: "Be careful... Be careful of mercury poisoning."

Mercury poisoning, what the hell is that?
Xu Gang's hands froze in mid-air, and after thinking for a while, he realized that she was talking about mercury poisoning.Just like what they guessed was buried in the tree, the specimens of virgin boys and girls made of mercury.

Could this portrait be made by a dead person?
Xu Gang was so disgusted that he was about to vomit, so he took a step back and didn't look at that thing.

Yang Xiaofan couldn't help being curious about the condition of the living figurines placed in front of the wooden pile, so he took a careful photo with the beam of the flashlight.

Under the photo, the scalp became more numb.

Not far in front of the wooden post, there were about two rows of figurines neatly arranged, and each of them was lit with a strange wick in their hands.

The two of them were holding flashlights, and they were used to looking at the strong beam of light, so they didn't notice the faint fire in the darkness.

Therefore, Xu Hui didn't pay attention just now, and bumped into a living figurine.

When the two of them were about to walk in front of the bronze tree, Yang Xiaofan heard footsteps behind him again, and Yang Xiaofan's heart became tense again.

Yang Xiaofan turned his head and glanced at the back, and said to Xu Gang in front: "You said that there are other people besides the three of us? Could there be someone else? Shaohuang just came here, and he reminded us that there is danger below."

When Xu Gang heard this, he paused for a moment, and the bright flashlight in his hand shone around, yelling in his mouth, "Master Xu, after this, all ghosts and snake gods will get out of here. If you dare to come out to make trouble, don't Blame me, Master Xu, for being rude."

As soon as he finished yelling, Yang Xiaofan realized that the sound of their footsteps followed behind him and disappeared.

It seems that there really is a fourth person here, and this person has been hiding in the dark and has not shown up for a long time, so he must have an ulterior secret.

The beam of the flashlight searched around the trunk of the bronze tree, there seemed to be a person lying in the darkness, Yang Xiaofan paused for a moment and dared not move forward.

Xu Gang also stopped in his tracks, frowned, and said, "The old rice dumpling under the tree won't suddenly cheat the corpse?"

"Could it be Shaohuang in front?" Yang Xiaofan took a light with the beam of the flashlight, only the outline of that person could be seen in the darkness, but he couldn't see it very clearly.

"Li Shaohuang... Li Shaohuang, if it's you, just stand up, if it's rice dumplings, Master Xu, I'll treat him to a gun."

After Xu Gang finished speaking, Yang Xiaofan realized that Xu Gang was actually holding a Browning pistol in his hand in the darkness.

He... he... brought the pistol from the living room drawer before he left! !

The person lying on the ground was motionless, unable to answer Xu Gang's words at all.

The pistol in Xu Gang's hand was loaded, Yang Xiaofan slowly approached him, and pointed the flashlight in that direction.

She always thought, why does this person look so much like Li Shaohuang?
Seeing the loaded gun in Xu Gang's hand, Yang Xiaofan was also afraid of accidentally injuring Li Shaohuang, so he rushed forward eager to verify whether the owner of that body was Li Shaohuang.

When I got closer, I saw clearly that the body had lost its head!

Yang Xiaofan's whole body trembled, she couldn't believe that Li Shaohuang would be beheaded.

"Shaohuang, Shaohuang..." Yang Xiaofan shouted Li Shaohuang's name in panic even though he didn't caress the corpse.

"Xiao Fan." Li Shaohuang's voice came from behind the tree. The voice was very soft, and it echoed in the dark underground, with a weird and charming feeling.
