The mountain was too big and the map was not very clear. It was really difficult to find the flag, but she was not a person who would give up easily. How could she give up halfway?But when you think about the weirdness and what the woman said, it makes you shudder. Is there really anything weird about this mountain?She was shocked at her own thought. She was an atheist. How could she believe in curses?She shook her head in amusement, dismissing her thoughts, but the feeling of uneasiness persisted.
"Nicole, do you have any ideas?"Chu Feifan went to Nicole's side, for her to block the grass in the middle of the road.
Nicole shook her head and said, "No, just a little uneasy."
He looked at the pretty girl in front of him. The calmness she had shown just now was admirable. He had expected a girl like her to be one who would scream at the sight of an animal bone, but her calmness was beyond his imagination.
Ahead of her, Nicole stopped short. She stood still, the wind blowing her smooth black hair, which smelled faintly of shampoo.
'What's the matter?
The crowd began to feel uneasy as they watched her serious expression.
The humidity in the woods was heavy, the leaves on the ground smelled damp, and everyone looked heavy.
Nicole put her index finger to her lips and made a silent gesture.
After a while, she looked in a certain direction and said, "I think I hear someone crying."
Her words seemed to drop a bomb on the crowd, and everyone's heart began to tense up, the thought of the woman and what she had burned would make their scalp tingle.
"It sounded like a woman's voice."Zuo Yi said in the side.
"Could it be that woman?"'said Stella.
Zuo Yi shook his head: "Not the same, the voice sounds bitter, the woman just cried too sad."
"Well, and it should be a young woman."Nicole, still looking ahead, said earnestly.
"Start a detective agency with a few of you."Peter said with a smile, also because of her joke, let everyone feel a lot better.
"Never mind who's crying, everyone, just find the flag and get the hell out of here!"Zhang Junsheng, who had not spoken, said suddenly that he was a very ordinary boy. It seemed that his character was a little withdrawn and he was not willing to talk to everyone. He was just walking behind him with a stick.
None of them spoke again. They agreed to find the flag and leave. Although Nicole kept finding the sound disturbing her, she didn't forget why she was there.
Nothing strange happened during the journey, and no one spoke. Stella took Nicole's hand and kept talking, as she put it, to make the atmosphere more tense.And Xu Lingling is still careful to follow behind Chu Feifan, from time to time to pull his coat corner.
At this time, the smell of humidity in the air is more obvious, the temperature around is like an instant drop several degrees, wearing a dress Xu Lingling shivered cold, after she sneezed continuously, Chu Feifan had to give her his clothes.
"The flag must be somewhere around here!Everybody look."Chu Feifan said with a map.
The flag was marked where they were now, but no one could see it yet.
If you stumble upon this narrative on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen from Royal Road. Please report it.
To the left of where they were standing, there was a slope that seemed very deep, so that the bottom could not be seen because there were many trees and some unknown grass. Nicole was standing on the edge of the slope, looking down. Something had always attracted her.
Her peripheral vision suddenly caught something red. She leaned forward, and then she saw the red corner of the flag.
"There's the flag."Her voice was quiet enough for everyone to hear. There was no sound in the wood except the wind and the squeaking of the leaves. So far they had heard no birds.
Hearing her words, Chu Feifan walked to her side, looked at her and said, "I'll go down and get it. You wait."
"I'd better go down!"Zuo Yi said suddenly.
Zuo Yi is also a very handsome boy, he and Chu Feifan are the kind of very quiet boys, look at the kind of people like, he seems to be good friends with Chu Feifan, although they did not see a few words along the way, but they looked at each other when the eyes is enough to explain their relationship.
Chu Feifan thought for a moment, nodded and said: "Good, you be careful."
Because the flag is in the middle of the slope, if you want to get it, you have to go down, because the coach said when we came here that we might use the rope, so each group has a belt, they tie the rope to Zuo Yi's waist, and then several boys hold the rope to prevent him from accidentally falling down.
"I don't understand why the school would put the flag in such a dangerous place."Peter said discontentedly, she looked at the left Yi's eyes are full of concern.
We didn't speak any more. We nervously looked at the shadow of Zuo Yi going down more and more, knowing that we could only see the black hair on his head. We held our breath and waited anxiously until Zuo Yi's voice came up from below and said, "I got it.
However, the Left Yi was pulled up to make their hearts tense again, because Left Yi's face was pale and bloodless.
"What do you see?"
"Bones, lots of them."His simple answer, not yet out of fear.
At his words, everyone gasped and was glad it wasn't them.
You're right. It's not easy here.
"Damn it!Now that you've got the flag, hurry down the hill!"Zhang Junsheng said discontentedly, he seems to have a big opinion of the military training, all the way his brow is tightly knitted.
"We'll retrace our steps."
Knowing that there were bones under the slope, no one was willing to stand on the edge, one by one to hide far away.
Nicole deliberately walked at the back. She had a question for Zhang Junsheng, a boy who seemed to know something about the mountain.She did not know why she had to investigate the mountain. It was a place she had never been before, and she should not have felt so strongly about it, but there was something mysterious about it that drew her to it, and it seemed to have some connection with her.
When everyone was some distance away, Nicole asked, "Jun Zhang, you seem to know something about this place."
Hearing her words, Zhang Jun had a moment of wonder. He looked at Nicole's beautiful face, then lowered his head and said, "How is that possible?This is my first time here."
'You lie!'she said.
"From the moment you entered this mountain, you were afraid. You hid it well, but your eyes did not deceive me."
Zhang Jun looked at her again. Her long lashes looked like a gauze curtain, and her eyes looked like a clear lake. No, not so much the lake as the black hole with bright light, which attracted him to infinite destruction.
He looked away from her in a panic. "So what if it was?I have the right to remain silent."
His words drove a nail into her heart, and he was right. She had no right to be told anything. She had seen too much of Holmes herself to be so sensitive.
"I'm sorry, I'm just nervous."
Upon hearing her apology, Zhang Jun also thought her speech was too straight. He blushed and said, "That's all right. Let's catch up with them."Then he strode forward.
It was getting dark and everyone was exhausted, but they could not find the way down the mountain. They got lost.
"How did you lead the way?What happened to backtracking?What about the old way?"Xu Meng became more and more agitated. The flickering white shadow he had just seen remained in his mind made his legs tremble with fear.
"We seem to be going around in circles."Nicole pointed to a tree and said, "I put a rock under this tree an hour ago.This is the one."
She pointed to a stone under a tree. This stone was round without any corners.
"Do you think you're remembering it wrong?"'Peter asked, taking her arm.
"We've been going round and round, but I've been following the map!"
"Maybe we have a ghost wall."Danica, who had been silent, finally spoke.
Ghost the wall?
The word hit everyone's heart like a heavy hammer.
"Please!Will you keep your mouth shut?"Xu Lingling said with her neck constricted.
Everyone was more and more frightened and bewildered as the sky grew darker and darker.
I don't know whether the other students have returned to the bus, are anxiously waiting for their return.
"Don't worry, everybody. Let's try it again."Chu Feifan and Zuo Yi tried to identify the map, because of the dark, they can hardly see.
Nicole took out a flashlight from her purse and lit it for them, a habit she had picked up since childhood. She still remembered that when she was ten years old, she was at her grandmother's house. One night, she came home late because of a lot of fun, so Hadron walked her home, but on the way, she accidentally stepped on something soft and found it was a flattened dead snake by the moonlight. It became her habit to carry a torch with her.
Using Nicole's flashlight, they followed the map again. An hour later, they were back at the rock-marked spot.
Xu Lingling could not bear it any longer. She squatted down on the ground and cried.
"Shut up, do you want to attract ghosts?We're not unlucky enough, are we?""Zhang Jun said loudly.
Xu Lingling's crying got stuck in her throat.
"Damn it, how did it happen? It shouldn't have happened."
Zhang Jun sat down under a tree as he spoke. His mood was extremely depressed.
With tears on her face, Xu Lingling raised her head and innocently looked at Chu Feifan and said, "What should we do?I don't want to sleep here."
"Are you the only one who doesn't want to sleep here?Will you stop crying in there?We're upset enough without you making it worse."At last Stella could not bear to watch.
