Chapter 124 (2/2)

But before he finished shouting, the water poured in. The strong current rolled it and Aoki's body, withdrew from the cave and fell into the dark abyss.

Before falling, the coal boss quickly grasped Aoki's hair with his sharp claws.

……

Aoki is being etched by the brand of consciousness. He suddenly feels that the surrounding space is collapsing rapidly, just like the feeling that the space collapses when he wakes up in a dream, but he can't withdraw calmly as in the past, and his consciousness sinks into the darkness.

The only remaining perception is the feeling that the hair on the head is pulled by something.

It was not long before he regained consciousness.

When I opened my eyes, there was still darkness in front of me and I couldn't see anything. He was wet and could feel the water rising slowly.

Aoki wanted to sit up, but his head hit the top with a bang.

He felt in his pocket and found his cell phone. The mobile phone was stained with water, but it still worked. He turned on the flashlight.

He found himself still in the arched cave.

The top of the cave is painted with a pattern, which is blurred under the cover of moss.

He wiped the moss with his hand and the two triangles appeared. When he touched again with his hands and felt with his spiritual force, there was nothing but a cold feeling.

When he was ready to give up, he found that there seemed to be some small nicks beside the symbol. He scraped away all the moss marks and sediment with his fingernails. When he looked closely, he found that it was a line of Japanese:

Kitano Zhenwu dreams here.

……

The water level rose, and the waterfall outside the cave began to grow larger, with the sound of running water.

Aoki had to withdraw from the arch. He was also sure that he had withdrawn from his dream at the moment.

That symbol may not only be the back door left by the dreamer, but also a self destruction device. He or the crow must have triggered something just now, causing the underlying architecture of the dream to collapse.

The cuckoo as like as two peas in the river outside the cave, and the clothes that are exactly the same as those in the small wooden building, have no tattered marks. The river had flooded her body. Qingmu went up and touched her breath and neck, opened her eyelids and gave up the idea of rescue.

Iron cages are hung on the bank wall of the river, the wires on the rock wall above have fallen off, and the spotlights have corroded and rusted.

The cage half submerged in water reflects a dark black light under the irradiation of a flashlight. Many cages are scattered with white bones, and some are still complete human shapes.

Qingmu walked back along the river bank and soon heard the cry of ”Wuwu” and the cry of ”help”.

He walked over and saw that Han laizi's father and several brothers were locked in a row of cages. At the moment, he saw the light of his mobile phone, lying on the iron railing and looking at him for help. Han laizi didn't move at all. He was lying in the water and obviously dead.

The iron door of the cage at the end was open, and Aoki knew that this was the cage he had just been closed. Normally, between him and Han laizi, there was a crazy beggar. Strangely enough, the door of the cage was open, but the crazy beggar disappeared.

A string of keys hung on the cage door.

Aoki took down the key and went to the cage of Han laizi's family. He weighed the key in his hand: ”I'll give the key to Xiaoqin. You wait, if she is willing to save you.”

The men in the cages looked at him with hatred for killing people in their eyes.

But as Aoki turned and left, no matter how much resentment, anger, regret and fear, everything was swallowed up by boundless darkness and silence, in addition to the sound of footsteps in the distance.
