The Ninth Secret Bureau

v4 Chapter 82: Instinctive fear

Walking along the spiral staircase to the bottom of the well, the gloomy space puts a lot of pressure on everyone, especially after the air became thinner, Chen Xian had some symptoms of hypoxia, and the whole person seemed to be lacking in energy. , That kind of malaise made everyone sweat in their hearts.

Chen Xian is more aware of his own state than outsiders, so he is also a little heavy at this time, because he found that his malaise is not due to the thin air in the shaft and lack of oxygen...At this moment, even Lu Yisheng is still alive. Can barely maintain a normal state, if it is hypoxia, how can it be the first to suffer? There is nothing to do with my lack of energy and lack of oxygen, it's just because...some strange things, like some kind of energy that can be sensed.

Those energy gathered at the bottom of the well and continued to spread in all directions.

But this kind of energy is different from the breath of Meishan God, and the one who can perceive their existence... seems to be the only person.

Chen Xian followed behind Mr. Skull, holding the bricks on the wall of the well with his hand, and slowly walking under the spiral staircase, his expression was gloomy from beginning to end.

When he perceives the existence of those energies, he finds some strange changes in his body.

Limbs are weak, dizzy, breathing has become much shorter, and every step down the ladder must be under great pressure.

What exactly is that energy? ?

Chen Xian is constantly analyzing in his brain, eager to find an answer, but at present he can't find the answer at all, because the feeling of these energy is somewhat familiar to him, but if you want to study it... ...But it is different from the energy forms that have been encountered in the past or seen in the literature.

Although they are floating in the air, they feel very heavy, like some liquid that is constantly sinking.

Cold and dull, sticky, thick and slippery.

This hoistway is like a swamp in a tropical rain forest where there is no sunshine all year round. The energy is the hidden mud in the swamp. Every minute and every second, it drags people deeper, as if the whole body is completely controlled by them... ...That kind of unmovable depression is what Chen Xian feels at this time.

"What's the matter with you?" Mr. Skull asked without looking back. He seemed to have noticed that Chen Xian was wrong, and the tone of the question was a little worried, "The heartbeat has become much faster, and the body temperature is also dropping... Are you sick?"

"no."

Chen Xian replied with furrowed brows, then looked back at the people behind him, and asked calmly.

"Do you feel something wrong?"

Hearing this question, everyone looked at each other for a while, shaking their heads and saying no, and Lu Yisheng's reaction was not slow, and he immediately realized that the situation had changed.

If the lack of oxygen is caused by the lack of air circulation in the shaft...I don't have any reaction, how can the boss get caught? ?

"Nothing is wrong, boss, what's wrong with you?"

"It's a bit boring here, right? Chen Xian, what did you find?"

Hearing these suspicious replies, the expression on Chen Xian's face became more and more ugly, because he found that the only person affected by those energies at this moment seemed to be himself...

"I feel uncomfortable." Mu He took Chen Xian's hand and walked aside. She was quiet from beginning to end, but she suddenly opened her mouth, her small face was a little paler than usual, and her breathing rate was almost equal to Chen Xian's. , There was a lot of sweat in the palm of his hand, "It looks like a stone is pressed...It's so uncomfortable..."

Since entering the well, Mu He has always said very little. If we really want to count it, she should be the first person to have this "adverse reaction". Before the well was closed, her face became like It's just as ugly now, and it's because of this that she was so quiet. She remained silent from beginning to end, but silently followed Chen Xian's side without saying a word.

Mu He is very afraid that Chen Xian will find her health unwell, because she knows that once Chen Xian discovers this, she will inevitably increase a lot of worries. At this time when the "future" of life and death is uncertain... she doesn't want to give it. Chen Xian added any more burdens.

"Are you uncomfortable?"

Sure enough, as Mu He had first guessed, Chen Xian immediately became nervous when he heard this, especially when he found that Mu He's "symptoms" were very similar to him... which would not avoid Chen Xian. Think about it.

"Did you feel those things?" Chen Xian asked anxiously, using words as much as possible to describe the characteristics of those energies, "It's like water sinking in the air...like being Things are suppressed the same."

Mu He thought for a while, nodded and said yes.

"Where did those things seem to have been seen?" Mu He said suddenly, with doubts written on his little face, "I should have seen it, but I can't remember..."

After getting this answer, Chen Xian's mood suddenly became heavier again.

As far as the current situation is concerned, only oneself and Muhe can perceive this weird energy. Other people, including Mr. Skull, who is an ancient life, can’t perceive the existence of those energy... Only oneself and Muhe are the ones who perceive energy?

The only possibility lies in the "particularity" between himself and Muhe.

Lu Yisheng were humans, so they couldn't perceive those energies.

Mr. Skull is an unknown existence older than anomalous life, and he can't perceive those energies.

As for Chen Xian and Mu He... whether they are humans, they don't know this, at least in Chen Xian's eyes, this is a temporary unsolved mystery.

"Chen Xian! There is light below!"

Just when Chen Xianming was struggling for an answer, Mr. Skull stopped suddenly and stared at the bottom of the well under the spiral staircase.

At this moment, something similar to a golden bean had suddenly appeared there.

Looking at Chen Xian and the others, the object that appeared suddenly was no more than the size of a soybean, and exuded an extremely faint golden light all over the body. If it weren't for this golden light to look extremely conspicuous in the dark, its size would be really small. It must be discovered by Chen Xian and the others.

The golden light changed from weak to strong in just a few seconds. When this burst of light became more and more dazzling, the object also began to expand rapidly, gradually transforming from one point to one side, until the entire bottom space and the spiral staircase were covered by the golden light. All photos...

Except for Mr. Skull, everyone can no longer open their eyes and look directly at the golden light.

But when everyone was ready to meet the enemy, the golden light that appeared suddenly disappeared. There was no danger in the way, and even the shadow of the enemy was not seen...The golden light that appeared to be anticlimactic was also taken away. Everyone was at a loss.

what's the situation? ?

Just shake it for a while and it's gone? ?

"Is this giving us power?" Lu Yisheng muttered.

"Not necessarily." Xu Yanan whispered, "The old man said before that the mountain people who came to this ancient well first saw golden light at the bottom of the well, maybe it is the same as the golden light we see now... .."

"What is the meaning of their appearance?" Li Daosheng was puzzled.

At this moment, the old man who had been silent suddenly said: "It indicates that we are about to see that God."

After the golden light completely disappeared, everyone observed for a few minutes and determined that there was no other danger, and then they began to continue to the bottom of the well.

After about ten minutes, the last person in the team stepped off the spiral staircase.

There is no special place in the space at the bottom of the well, it is simply a disk-shaped open space, but there is an entrance to the tunnel on the wall directly in front of the well, about two meters high and half a meter wide, only enough for one person to enter at the same time .

Standing at the entrance, Chen Xian listened for a while, and could vaguely hear the sound of water coming from the depths of the tunnel.

It was not the sound of water flowing, but a sound of... something moving in the water.

It's like someone sitting in a bath and flicking splashes of water, and there is no sense of rhythm at all.

In addition, Chen Xian also found a strange smell in the air.

It seems to be the smell of human blood.

"Chen Xian?"

Hearing this slightly worried voice, Chen Xian instinctively turned his head and glanced at Mu He, and asked her what's wrong with his eyes?

"Are you scared?"

Mu He asked cautiously, speaking very softly, as if he dared not let others hear him.

Chen Xian smiled, then denied.

"Don't be afraid, what can I do..."

At this moment, Chen Xian was abruptly silent, because he discovered that Mu He's suspicion was not groundless.

I don’t know when, Chen Xian’s hands have been trembling faintly, like a beast that is being hunted and killed by a natural enemy and has been besieged in a dead end. The nervousness and fearlessness have made him unable to restrain. Those instinctive fear responses appeared in his body.

Chen Xian looked down at his trembling hands, his eyes full of self-doubt.

I......

Am I scared?
