global collapse

"Or won't you go down?" Gu Mian took out the rope and acted to tie one end of the rope to the fortune teller.

The fortune teller quickly waved his hand and stepped back: "No, no, no, you'd better go down and I'll just take a look at it."

Gu Mian's action efficiency soon, he quickly knitted iron nails on the ground near the deep space, wrapped one end of the rope and tied a dead knot, and tied the other end to his waist.

The fortune teller looked at the iron nail chiseled into the ground with great concern. Everyone saw Gu Mian's luck in seeing his head. She doubted whether the nail could hold Gu Mian's weight, and also doubted whether the rope would suddenly break when Gu Mian went down.

She was wondering whether to send a message to the fat man in the apartment and tell him that your dear doctor might have to perform free fall exercises next.

Just as the fortune teller was worried, Gu Mian was already ready.

Of course, Gu Mian knew that relying on that iron nail alone would not work, and he also asked Guigu and Xiaoqiao to grab the rope on the ground. Even if the iron nail could not support it, there were at least two people to protect him.

He gave the high-power flashlight to Guigu, which was near the edge of the deep pit, and asked him to help illuminate it underneath. Gu Mian himself took the fortune teller's small power flashlight. The area of ​​those small caves was too small, and it was easy to blind himself by exploring it with high-power flashlights inside.

"Be careful." Guigu, who acts as an electric light on it, carefully controlled the angle of the flashlight in his hand to avoid letting the light flash into Gu Mian's eyes.

Gu Mian stepped on the rock wall with his feet pulling the rope in his hand, and he didn't have much effort. After sliding down, he felt the left foot below stomping in. He looked down and found that his left foot had already penetrated into the cave closest to the ground.

It is the one who the fortune teller said there is a ghost inside.

Guigu adjusted the angle and tried to let the light of the flashlight shine into the cave under Gu Mian's feet: "Be careful, that cave has arrived."

Now Guigu has to put the three words "be careful" in front of a sentence, obviously very worried about Gu Mian's safety.

The fortune teller moved a distance along the edge of the deep pit to the distance, trying to see a deeper part of the cave from other angles. However, the high-power flashlight was on Guigu, and the area illuminated by Guigu was limited. She could only see a small part of the edge of the cave entrance.

At this time, Gu Mian had already slid down and fell to the ground at the entrance of the cave.

The entrance of the cave is not big and the width is about two meters long, so that three people can walk side by side. As soon as Gu Mian lands, he quickly took out the flashlight from his waist and shines it in. He thought the caves would be very deep, but he didn't expect that when he turned on the light, he saw the wall blocking in front of him.

It turned out to be a dead end.

The distance of the fortune teller's flashlight was only about five meters, which means that the length of the cave was less than five meters. Gu Mian could see his head at a glance at such a larger place. He looked at the entire cave at the first time but did not see the ghost mentioned by the fortune teller.

"How is it? Did you see a ghost?" The fortune teller didn't know what was going on below and asked Gu Mian on it.

Gu Mian shone the flashlight to the walls on both sides. The surrounding walls were black and thudded, which were generally not flat, but the traces of manual excavation could be seen. These small caves should have been dug by hand.

He thought about tapping it. The texture of the wall is very hard and it will take a lot of effort to dig these caves.

There were traces of people living in the cave. Gu Mian noticed that the ground in the northeast corner was flatter than other places. It looked like someone often slept here and smoothed the ground.

Except for the flattened ground in the northeast corner, the entire cave is in a very wild war-damaging style without any modifications.

Gu Mian felt strange that there were so many artificial caves underground in Lianhua City, and there were traces of people living in the caves, which was too suspicious. However, these caves may not have existed here before, and may have been formed with the upside-down city.

Last time I witnessed the formation of the upside down city in Paradise World, Gu Mian didn't pay attention to the big hole on the ground, and didn't know if the same scene was under the upside down city.

At this time, the fortune teller had returned to the ground above the cave where Gu Mian was, and her voice came from the top of her head: "What's going on inside?"

Gu Mian moved outward and came to the edge of the cave so that the three people above could hear their voices more clearly: "A dead-end road less than five meters looks like a manual digging, but there is nothing here, the walls and the ground are not very flat, but the ground in one corner is slightly flat. I suspect someone has lived in this cave, and the man has been in that position when he slept, so he smoothed the place."

Guigu's doubtful voice came from above: "Is the cave dug by artificially?"

After saying this, he paused for a moment. Gu Mian felt that during this period of time he paused, he might be calculating how many such caves there were in his sight.

Obviously, Guigu soon gave up on the calculation because there were too many caves below, which was only part of what they saw. Half of Lianhua City rose to the sky, and the edge of the pit formed below was extremely long. Even if Gu Mian drove the hearse to take them around, he had to drive for half an hour to circle around.

"If the walls below are full of such caves, what a large amount of engineering would it be?" Gu Mian heard Guigu say this.

"Now the ground above our heads is flying upside down in violation of the laws of physics. It's nothing compared to finding a few small holes under the ground." The fortune teller said it is reasonable and well-founded, "I care more about the traces of people living in the cave that Gu Mian said."

As the fortune teller changed his mind, he asked Gu Mian again: "Didn't you find a person or a ghost in it?"

Gu Mian stood at the edge of the cave and looked up at the top: "No, there is not a single human hair."

The three fortune tellers who stood at this position could not be seen directly above, but could only see the upside down city hanging above the deep pit.

Looking up from below, the deep pit entrance is like a wellhead, and the upside-down city is like a huge mosaic cloud that is strongly squeezed the sky to the edge of the wellhead. The sky is squeezed like a machete, and Gu Mian feels that he has become the frog that is watching the sky in a well.

"It's strange, what's the face I just saw? In this short time, Kung Fu and the ghost won't suddenly disappear." The diviner's mutter came from the top of his head, "And Xiao Qiao said just now that there were people below."

At this time, Gu Mian, who looked up at the sky, suddenly realized something: "No, there is another place I haven't checked."

Overhead.

He did not observe the top of the cave.

The walls inside are all dark, and it is easy to ignore the situation above your head if you look at them.

Thinking of this, Gu Mian took a few steps back and turned around and shone the flashlight towards the wall on the top of the front. The wall on the top of the cave was also uneven, and there was no spider-like ghost crawling on it. But when his eyes moved to his head, Gu Mian found a dark hole directly above the top of his head.

In order to see more clearly that he adjusted the flashlight angle and shone upwards, a colorful face jumped into his eyes.

"What are Gu Mian doing below? Leave a word, I went in again without checking it." The fortune teller looked at the trembling rope in Guigu's hand. The trembling came from below, with a very large amplitude. She even suspected that Gu Mian was dancing to the radio gymnastics below.

Guigu held the rope in his hand tightly, and his palms were sweating: "It must be time to check the places he hadn't checked just now."

Seeing the frequency of the rope shaking, Gu Mian should have made big moves below, and the scene of Gu Mian finding a ghost fighting with the ghost below appeared in his mind.

But there was no sound below. Although Gu Mian would not shout slogans when he beats ghosts, he should shout when he was beaten. But the bottom was very quiet, as if the head teacher was peeping in the classroom.

He wanted to ask what happened below Gu Mian, but he was afraid that his voice would affect Gu Mian, who was not sure what he was doing, so he had to shut up and think that he would wait until the rope stopped shaking before asking.

Gu Mian below is climbing a hole.

That's right, he climbed into the hole above his head.

Just now, he could see the scene in the hole clearly after scanning the flashlight. The face in the hole was neither a human nor a ghost, but a human head model with no material. The human head body left it on one day, leaving only this head dryly in the hole.

Gu Mian couldn't see how it could not fall off in the vertical hole. She could only see the large patches of colors on its face. Those colors were no longer bright and gray, and the rough eyes also faded, making these eyes look like the eyes of dead fish at first glance.

It was quite impactful to see such a head wrapped in oil paint in the dark cave. If the head suddenly yelled and rushed down, it would be even more supernatural.

In order to prevent it from rushing down, Gu Mian rushed up first.

The entrance of the cave was just above Gu Mian's head and could accommodate a person's body. He easily got in with his hands. It was not easy to climb upright, so Gu Mian could only use his hands and feet to support the walls on both sides to move upwards in a "big" shape.

The hole is too small and stretched straight, and it is difficult to move quickly inside. Gu Mian can only move slowly. He turned the flashlight on his waist, which allows him to see the surrounding scenes when he climbs up. In fact, the hole is too narrow and there is no sight to see. Looking around, there is only the wall around him close to his body.

Unfortunately, Gu Mian didn't plan to do "Stone Wall Fu", so these materials were not very useful.

However, he noticed that this vertical hole seemed to be dug by hand, and the excavation tools were much smaller than the spacious cave below.

Gu Mian is not a civil engineering major, but he has seen scenes when digging soil with a shovel. Each shovel cannot perfectly overlap with the plane of a shovel, which will cause a height difference with the surrounding area. By observing the arrangement density and shape of these height difference, you can mostly judge the size and type of excavation tools.

He gestured with his palm that was stuck to the wall: "Each piece of excavation trace below is almost as big as my two hands, like it was dug with a shovel, and this hole..."

He saw dense scratches on the wall pressing under his hands. The distance between each scratch was only about two centimeters, and the shape was too narrow. Who would have a good family who would use such narrow tools to dig holes with such narrow tools? And Gu Mian felt that the shapes of these strips looked more and more familiar as they looked.

He moved his fingers and found that his fingers could perfectly snuck into these slender depressions.

Gu Mian felt that he had discovered some truth, and then carefully observed the traces. He saw that most of these slender traces were five together, quite neatly.

Gu Mian looked at the five fingers on his hand and roughly understood what the excavation tool for this hole was - someone dug out this vertical upward passage with his hands. The direction was to dig upward, and the person wanted to dig up to the ground.

Did it be dug by someone living in the cave below? He wanted to escape from this place?

In an instant, many questions surged in Gu Mian's heart, but unfortunately no one could answer him here. There was a head of unknown material in the direction of his head, but it has not been able to mutate and make a ghost call. It seems that it can't count on it anymore.

Gu Mian thought about it while climbing up. The more he went up, he found that the digging traces became more messy, and the walls on all sides became tighter and tighter. The more he went up, the narrower the hole. It must be that the person who dug the hole was exhausted and had no strength to dig the surroundings as big as the one below when he was digging it up.

The messy excavation marks are mixed with dark red, which should be the marks left by the digger's fingers.

The passage is actually not long, but it is quite laborious to get up because it is vertical. It took Gu Mian a few minutes to reach the top.

When he reached the end, the width of the hole had shrunk to a very small size, and Gu Mian was squirming inside like an earthworm. He felt that he didn't need to support his body hard, and the passage was so small that it could trap him vertically inside.

His head was still moving. As soon as Gu Mian looked up, he met the human head model facing down above. He carefully looked at the face above his head with the light emitted by the flashlight at his waist. When he got close, he realized that it was actually a human head made of paper, but it was quite damaged. The bamboo weaving that supported the paper inside poked out a piece.

The space above is very small, and Gu Mian can see that the head is stuck on it.

This head is somewhat similar to the paper man sold in a paper-making shop. When Gu Mian was a child, he went to a paper-making shop to complete the manual work of "paper-folding building" arranged by the teacher. In order to complete the handicraft work of "paper-folding building" arranged by the teacher, he bought a large building to hand over his homework. When he bought the house, he also saw the paper man in the store, which looked similar to the one in front of him.

Gu Mian tried his best to squeeze his body aside so that his right arm could move in this narrow space. He tried to squeeze his right hand upwards, pushing his head to the top of his head to reach the paper head above.

But I don’t know how long this paper head has been underground and is already very fragile. As soon as Gu Mian touched it with his hands, a large piece of paper fell off his face before he could use his strength.

Gu Mian had to hold the exposed piece of bamboo weaving and gently pull it down. It took a lot of effort to pull the head out of the crowded cracks. The narrow and dark passage was not a good place to count the spoils, so Gu Mian took the head and planned to return to the cave below to observe carefully.

Just as he moved his legs and climbed down, he suddenly felt something blocked the hole below.

Gu Mian looked down and saw that he had a headless body.
