Midnight, sub-hour.
The bamboo forests all over the mountain were trembling, making a tidal sound in the deep night, as if the whole sky was about to be blown down by the strong wind. He looked up at the dark sky, his deep gray eyes, which could no longer see the mountains around him, except for a few terrible bats, which seemed to sense the thunder and lightning in the clouds, and fluttered nervously over his head. “It’s tonight!”
When the cold rain fell on his eyes, he prayed silently in his heart. He looked back again, and the ruins in the deep mountain bamboo forest would soon be forgotten.
In an instant, the mountain rain and the wind covered the land, and he raised a dim kerosene lamp, and trotted into the dilapidated courtyard. The lights in the night rain flickered dimly like ghostly fire, but they still slightly illuminated the opening of the cave, like an eerie mouth in the night.
At the moment when the terrifying lightning pierced the night sky, he had cautiously entered the cavern, and a breath of rotting for an unknown number of years came to his nose, as if the storm outside was another world. Raising a kerosene lamp like a bean, it shone all around, and the deep darkness in the cave seemed to have no end.
He swallowed nervously, and as soon as he took a step forward, he heard a hoarse voice in the darkness: “You’re finally here.” “Yes, can I know the secret tonight?”
This sentence is not spoken fluently in Chinese, and it makes a trembling echo in the deep cavern, which is very terrifying. “Yes, tonight is a special day.” “I’ve been waiting for this whole year.” He anxiously carried the kerosene lamp, the dim light flickering constantly, reflecting a tall black shadow on the cave wall.
However, he still couldn’t see the other party’s face, and seemed to be just a ghost in the dark: “Okay, it’s destined to be tonight, please tell me your problem.” ”
A strange smile finally appeared on the corners of his mouth, and those gray eyes flickered faintly in the kerosene light, like a bat returning to a cave. He adjusted his breath and asked the old question faintly to the dark soul——— “Do you know what the 19th layer of hell is?” ”
