Chapter 40 Escape Game 13
Lu Qianqian and Kong Yuling were getting closer and closer to the figure at the other end of the corridor. In just a few seconds, they had reached the window.
Kong Yuling opened the window and looked into the distance with longing. The next moment, she climbed up to the window.
Yunyan wanted to see the blurry figure in the darkness clearly, but she couldn't, as if there was a layer of fog covering her.
Just when Kong Yuling was about to jump, Qin Yiming rushed to the window and pulled her down.
She stuffed two heart-clearing pills into their mouths, and Kong Yuling and Lu Qianqian quickly regained consciousness.
"Brother Yiming, why are we here?"
Lu Qianqian felt it was a little unbelievable. She was clearly sleeping in the room and had even locked the door.
Kong Yuling was a little scared.
"Brother Yiming, is there something unclean?"
Qin Yiming also found it very strange. That weird singing voice had the ability to bewitch people. If he hadn't noticed something was wrong and rushed over in time, Kong Yuling and Lu Qianqian would have most likely jumped down.
But the dark shadow that was there just now disappeared out of thin air.
Qin Yiming looked downstairs through the window and saw that a huge wooden board had appeared for no reason on the originally empty ground.
There were rows of long nails nailed on the wooden boards, and under the moonlight, the nails were shining with a creepy cold light.
Lu Qianqian and Kong Yuling looked down in the direction Qin Yiming was looking, and both of them shuddered involuntarily.
If they had just jumped, the consequences could be imagined.
"What should we do? Brother Yiming." Lu Qianqian pulled Qin Yiming's clothes, seeking shelter.
Qin Yiming took a deep breath.
"Don't be afraid, let's go back to the room first."
The three of them supported each other and walked towards the room.
But after walking for several minutes, they still hadn't reached the door. This shouldn't be the case. It was clearly a walk of less than a minute, but they couldn't reach the door no matter how hard they walked.
Kong Yuling was feeling very nervous. She clutched the corner of Qin Yiming's clothes tightly, and cold sweat kept coming out on her forehead.
Suddenly, sad and mournful singing was heard again in the silent corridor.
A black figure appeared at the end of the corridor.
Qin Yiming and the other two were very conscious, but their feet walked towards the end of the corridor uncontrollably.
As they approached, a deep female voice suddenly appeared in the air.
"Why don't you obey? Those who don't obey will become sacrifices."
Kong Yuling was so scared that her voice trembled.
"Please, please, let us go! We promise to be obedient."
The owner of the voice just sneered.
"Hehe, people who break the rules don't deserve to be forgiven."
The dark shadow watched them climb up to the window, and the next second, what was expected did not happen.
It was Qin Yiming! He used the prop card to turn the tide and avoid a crisis at a critical moment.
An invisible force bounced the three people back into the corridor.
The black shadow watched them escape, sneered, and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.
"Those who break the rules don't deserve to be forgiven!"
Her voice echoed in the air, and it was obvious that she would come back.
The lights in the corridor came on, and Qin Yiming and the other two finally returned to the room safely.
Yunyan took in everything in the corridor, and she left a mental mark on the figure.
She put on an invisibility talisman and a breath-suppressing talisman and chased the shadow all the way to a cliff, but she could no longer follow it.
Looking at the bottomless cliff, Yunyan fell into deep thought. There was a mysterious power here that prevented her from continuing to track.
She didn't know the situation yet, so she couldn't act rashly. Yunyan turned around and went back to the B&B without any regrets.
A dark shadow suddenly appeared on the edge of the cliff, and she stared quietly at Yunyan's departing back.
This person is really special.
……
The sunlight came into the room through the window, and the chirping of birds outside the window woke Yunyan up.
She got up, packed herself up, and prepared to go out for a look.
Yunyan opened the door, and the door of 204 opposite also opened.
Cui Peng was very surprised to see Yunyan going out.
Yunyan ignored him and walked towards the stairs.
"Wait, Miss Duan." Cui Peng's voice came from behind.
Yunyan turned around and asked calmly: "What's the matter?"
Cui Peng scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly.
"Miss Duan, where are you going? Can I follow you?"
Yunyan ignored him and went downstairs.
Cui Peng: Miss Duan didn't say anything, which means she didn't refuse.
He shamelessly followed behind.
Yunyan ignored this little tail. Let him follow her if he wanted. She wouldn't care if anything happened.
Yunyan came to the cliff where she had been last night. There were already many tourists taking photos and checking in.
I found out after asking the old lady who was selling things at the stall next to me.
This is the Cliff of Broken Love, a sacred place for their ethnic group to worship. The mayor burns incense and worships here every month.
Because of the magical worship ceremony and special worship songs and dances, this place has become a popular check-in spot for tourists.
"So when is the worship ceremony held this month?"
The old lady smiled and replied: "Today is the day. Otherwise, why are there so many people here?"
Yunyan thanked the old lady and bought a mask from her stall. The moment she put on the mask, some scenes flashed before her eyes.
But it happened so fast in just a split second that she didn't have time to see clearly.
What on earth was it? Yunyan turned back to look at the old lady, who was now attending to her business again.
The sacrificial ceremony began under the watchful eyes of thousands of people.
Yunyan watched the gray-haired mayor kneel down and worship devoutly. There were also some people wearing ethnic costumes beside him, reciting some words he could not understand.
Yunyan guessed that this should be a sacrificial scripture of ethnic minorities.
After about half an hour, the kneeling ceremony ended.
People wearing ethnic minority costumes began to sing and dance, and the atmosphere was very lively. Soon, the hospitable locals pulled the foreign tourists to dance together.
Yunyan, wearing a mask, was forced to join the carnival, and Cui Peng was also pulled in by a beautiful girl.
The atmosphere here is really joyful, no wonder it has become a place for internet celebrities to check in.
On the other side of the cliff, a young girl watched all this quietly, with both nostalgia and hatred in her eyes.
Yunyan had strong mental power. When she noticed someone was looking at this side, she immediately stepped out of the crowd and looked across the cliff. There was nothing there.
"Miss Duan, what are you looking at? They are singing folk songs over there! Let's go and take a look!"
Cui Peng invited Yunyan in a very familiar manner.
Yunyan looked back at him, then glanced at the group of people singing over there.
The tune sounded familiar, and Yunyan remembered it almost instantly. This was the tune that the black shadow sang last night.
So, the black shadow should be a local.
Yunyan began to brainstorm.
The singing, the sacrifice, and the words the shadow said last night.
Could it be that the man broke some rules and was sacrificed as a sacrifice?
Yunyan felt that she was getting closer to the truth.
