Volume 3 Chapter 33: Reconciliation
The sound was a little different this time, with a slight echo, as if it were coming from a very deep place. With the rhythm of the sound, I could also clearly feel that the bronze chains were vibrating slightly, as if the other end were resting on a giant’s artery.
This phenomenon gave me an irresistible chill, because I didn’t feel a breath of wind blowing up from below, and the two of us couldn’t possibly have caused such a heavy bronze chain to vibrate at such a high frequency.
Wang listened quietly, pondering. He hadn’t experienced anything like this before, so he should have been more scared than I was, but his expression was strangely calm, as if he were judging something.
After a while, the sound finally died down, and the bronze chains stopped vibrating. After a while, the sound finally died down, and the bronze chains stopped vibrating. I was relieved for no reason, and I almost fell over from the chains.
Mr. Wang still didn’t react. He thought quietly for a while, took out a cigarette, lit it, took a deep drag, and then took out a small flashlight from his pocket, shook it twice, and turned on the light inside.
I didn’t know what he was doing, and I looked at him coldly. When the glow stick reached its brightest, he suddenly threw it down the bronze chain, and the green light beam fell in a circle.
The light circle became smaller and smaller, and quickly disappeared from my field of vision. I thought it would keep falling until it disappeared into the darkness. Suddenly, at the visual limit of sight and blindness, the glow stick hit something, “bang” and bounced, flew to the bronze wall on the side, and fell back down, disappearing in an instant.
There was something hanging about 50 or 60 meters below the There was something hanging about 50 or 60 meters below the bronze chain, but unfortunately the light from the glow stick was too weak. I could only see a general outline, which looked like a crystal coffin with a hint of yellow. It could also be a more common merchant’s coffin (a translucent yellow stone).
Mr. Wang Wang looked at me defiantly, then suddenly loosened the belt in his hand, lit a cigarette, and began to slide down. Soon, he disappeared into the darkness, and all I could see was a tiny, shrinking fire.
I thought for a moment, not knowing why I felt something was wrong. Mr. Wang seemed to be confident, and he knew all kinds of strange objects. Could it be that he already knew what was down there and was going to get it? I thought I thought of what Lao Yi had told me, and I couldn’t help but feel unwilling to fall into his hands like this. I quickly pulled out the hunting knife on my hand and followed him down.
The speed of our descent began to be very fast. The roots that were winding down from above disappeared below. By the end, our speed had slowed down. In about ten seconds, we had already reached the estimated height. I saw the fire below stop, and I quickly tightened my legs and stopped the chain.
I looked down I looked down and saw that Mr. Wang had reached the end of the chain. A few meters below him was where the fluorescent stick had hit. He was crouching down and using his lighter to shine the light, but because the light was too weak, he couldn’t see the shape of the object as a whole.
I turned on the flashlight’s aperture, and under the glare of the flashlight, the whole shape of the object suddenly appeared.
To my my expectations, the bronze chain hanging below was not a stone coffin, not even a coffin, but a huge amber-colored boulder in the shape of a coffin. It seemed to be natural and very transparent. Under the light of the flashlight, it reflected a golden-like glass light. As long as you slightly turn the angle of the flashlight, the entire space presents a magnificent and extraordinary scene.
From the top the four bronze chains hanging from the top, which had been cast into the interior of the amber, and looking along the chains, one could also see a black human-shaped shadow inside the amber, very faint, barely able to distinguish the head and shoulders, the shoulders of the shadow towering high, like two humps, the whole person curled up, like a fetus in the womb.
I I had never seen anything like it before. I was stunned and speechless for a moment, but Mr. Wang was surprisingly calm. He just looked at it for a moment and then slid down, trying to step on the amber. I quickly called out, “Don’t!”
Mr. Wang turned around and looked at me in bewilderment.
I said to him, “I’ve never seen such a large piece of amber before. It might be a rosin stone. If you step on it, it might break.”
Mr. Wang board smiled contemptuously and said, “You know nothing. What amber? This is a corpse cocoon.” He had already stepped on it, and the corpse cocoon was indeed very strong, swaying a little but not making a sound.
I I saw that he was fine, so I didn’t want to be left behind. I let go of my feet and slipped onto the amber cocoon. At the same time, I took the short-handled hunting knife and tried to put it back on my waist, so that I wouldn’t have to walk on the slippery amber cocoon with a flashlight in one hand and a dagger in the other.
I didn’t think I didn’t expect that Mr. Wang would have misunderstood my meaning. When he saw me coming down, he crouched down in a defensive position, pulled his belt frame up to his chest, and was ready to fight. I was shocked, and the short knife I had originally planned to put back on my waist was also raised.
For a moment tension reached a peak, but no one moved because both of them knew that in this place, a slight mistake would not be resolved by a kick.
After a moment of stalemate, he first waved his hand and said to me, “Youngster, at this point, everyone should take a step back. It’s not worth it to die together. It doesn’t matter who dies, it’s not good for anyone. It’s not good for anyone to die, and this place is not one that one person can climb up.”
I looked up and saw that he was right. In this place, at least two people are needed to climb up. As long as he is still down here, he should not dare to move me, otherwise he may die more miserably than I do. But this person is very cunning and cannot be trusted too much.
I first slowly put down the hunting knife, made a gesture of reconciliation, and briefly repeated what had happened with the radio interference, so that both sides could have a way out. After all, I had just been ready to kill him, and he couldn’t possibly lower his guard so easily.
Mr. Wang took out his own walkie-talkie and opened it with some skepticism. Inside, a series of high-decibel static noises suddenly exploded, the sound extremely piercing, as if someone was screaming at the top of their lungs. Mr. Wang board heard the sound and was scared to death. He quickly turned off the walkie-talkie and cursed, “Fuck.”
I was also scared to death. The sound must have been so loud because we were so close to the source of the interference. I really didn’t expect there to be such a terrible sound in the world. If I had listened for a few more seconds, I might have lost my mind and jumped off.
Mr. Wang tied the belt back around his waist and said, “This time I was wrong. You know, we are in the business of running around, and we can’t afford to be careless.” He pointed pointed to the swollen area on his face. “Youngster, you didn’t go easy on me. Let’s call it even this time. We’ll settle our personal grudges later. What do you say?”
I sneered inwardly. He had just revealed his true nature. I had already decided that he must have planned to silence us after we got out. Now he was just stalling. But at this point, we really needed to use each other. So I nodded and threw him the flashlight as a gesture of balance.
We temporarily reconciled, but I still didn’t dare to get too close to him, in case he suddenly pushed me off. He obviously had the same concerns, and the two of us tacitly agreed to keep a close eye on each other while carefully crouching down to take a closer look at the corpse cocoon at our feet.
The surface of the corpse cocoon had many naturally formed lines, and the transparency inside was not high. It was unlikely that the corpse could be seen from the outside, and it might be necessary to pass an X-ray scan or break the corpse cocoon. The most strange The most peculiar thing is the human-shaped shadow inside. This should be the corpse wrapped inside, but the shape of this corpse is too strange. No matter how you look at it, it doesn’t look like a human.
