Even if a fisherman enters an infinite game, he still has to cast a rod

When the two men avoided the patrolling angels at the door, climbed over the iron fence, and came to the depths of the dense forest in the back mountain, the setting sun just went out.

The moon hangs on the branches, and the cicadas are chirping mournfully, shouting non-stop in the ancient forest.

But once you enter the cool cave, the noise is blocked out and stops abruptly.

The entrance of the cave discovered by Master Jiang was on the side close to the steep cliff. It was an irregular semicircle, not much bigger than a normal door. It was also covered by huge rocks and dead trees, so it was easy to miss it if you were not careful.

There is a wolf den near the cave entrance.

But Jiang Jian had already cleaned it up in the afternoon, and now it had become a den of dead wolves.

A strong flashlight lit up, dispelling the darkness in the cave.

The two men wore safety helmets, held flashlights, and walked into the narrow cave.

The four sides were made of hard gray stone, it was damp and cramped, with tree roots hanging overhead and large pieces of gravel underfoot.

The two walked one after the other, and soon they reached a 90-degree corner.

"drop..."

"Tick tock...."

Water drops fall from a great height and hit the surface of the pool.

The sound echoed in the silent space and after being amplified several times, it sounded like a beating heartbeat.

Just after turning the corner, a chilly breeze blew in from the depths of the cave, carrying with it the familiar smell of moist moss and rust.

Jiang Jian: "I only walked here this afternoon. It was too dark to see clearly further in."

Jiang Yuan looked at the dried blood on the ground, sniffed it, and said, "There's 'that' in here."

Jiang Jian: "Hmm, the smell is quite strong, it must have been quite a bit."

The master and the apprentice put on disposable protective raincoats and safety helmets, made all preparations, and then continued forward.

After walking for about a few hundred meters, we soon entered a larger cave.

The footsteps woke up the pairs of bloody red lights in the dome.

It's a bloodthirsty bat.

Before they could get close, they spread their ugly, bare wings and attacked them in an overwhelming manner.

However, under Fan Wen's protection, the two of them simply bent down and calmly avoided the swarm of bats.

This is not over yet.

After the blood-thirsty bats flew away, various small creatures from the cave, such as poisonous snakes, bedbugs, rats, corpse ants, etc., fell from the top of the cave.

But they were all bounced off by the raincoats and helmets, and no harm was caused.

The flashlight shone upwards, revealing the nest where the small creatures lived.

Just as Jiang Yuan expected, the top of the cave did not have beautiful stalactites, but was hung with human corpses.

They were all tied up in chains, hanging upside down from the ceiling of the cave with their heads down and their feet up.

Like in the south in winter, the balconies of wealthy families are hung with bacon.

Due to good ventilation conditions in the cave, the corpses were well preserved. Some of them were fresh and blood was dripping from them, forming blood puddles of varying sizes on the ground.

This is the origin of the sound of dripping water along the way.

Some of the corpses had holes of varying sizes. In the stomachs of several fresh corpses, one could see newborn bats, biting the sticky intestines with their mouths open.

It provides both food and shelter, and to some extent, achieves the perfect integration of man and nature.

Jiang Jian clicked his tongue and said disdainfully, "Tsk, another stalactite corpse forest."

The stalactite corpse forest is a homonym of stalactite forest, which is specifically used to describe the dead bodies hanging on the ceiling of the cave like stalactites.

This is a classic spectacle that often appears in caves of many tomb-robbing or suspense adventure games. It once caused a sensation, but now it has become an old-fashioned plot that even children will not be afraid of.

“It’s a little different.”

Jiang Yuan released Fan Wen and picked out two of the freshest corpses from the dense pile of corpses on the top of the cave. He cut off the rusty iron locks, lowered them down for careful inspection, and came to a conclusion.

"Master, you see, they have no brains."

Jiang Jian took a look and found that it was indeed the case: "Judging from their ferocious expressions and scratched fingers, their brains must have been removed alive... Could there be a brain-eating zombie inside?"

"No, the bone incision is clean and neat, like a medical wire saw." Jiang Yuan straightened the hideous face of the corpse and said:

"This is old John. I've seen him in the patient file. His condition is not serious. He was just discharged after two months of treatment. And this one, Mrs. Mason, was discharged half a month ago. The patients said she was going to the beach for a vacation."

Jiang Jian: "Bring back the discharged patients, cut off their brains, and hang them up..."

Combining the magical worldview of this place, he thought of a possibility.

"Is it some special sacrificial ritual that requires their painful death?"

Jiang Yuan did not answer. He stroked his chin and lowered his head into deep thought.

"...tick-tock..."

Another drop of blood fell into the red pool, splashing up a blood crown.

"Oops!"

Jiang Jian was startled by Jiang Yuan's shout and asked quickly:

"what happened?"

But there was no time to explain.

Jiang Yuan raised his foot and rushed forward. In the blink of an eye, he had distanced himself from his master, leaving only these words behind.

"Master! Wait here for me, don't move! Don't move! I'll be back soon! Don't move!"

Jiang Jian hurriedly asked: "Where are you going?!"

But no one responded.

The figure in the white dress had disappeared at the end of the cave.

Master Jiang was annoyed.

"You little brat, do you think of me as a burden?!"

Outrageous!

Jiang has been in the business world for many years, worked as an executive for more than ten years, and taken over countless games, but he has never been looked down upon like this!

It's not worth it to just save face, especially when the other party is his own disciple!

When Jiang Jian got angry, he threw his apprentice's instructions to the back of his mind, rolled up his sleeves and walked forward, determined to let Jiang Yuan see how powerful he was!

After walking a few steps, two forks in the road appeared in the darkness ahead.

There was a sound coming from one of the forks in the road, and Jiang Jian guessed that was the direction Jiang Yuan was going, so he went in that direction.

Walked a few dozen meters more.

Soon, a figure appeared in front.

However, this figure was very small, less than half the size of the apprentice.

"one..."

"Two...three...one..."

"Two, three, one, two, three..."

In the middle of the cave, there stood a girl playing with a ball.

She was wearing a pink linen floral dress, her hair tied in two braids with bows, and she was patting a three-color leather ball. With her back to Jiang Jian, she kept counting one, two, three over and over again like a broken clockwork doll.

Any modern person with common sense knows that in a terrifying cave full of corpses, there is usually not a clean girl in a pink skirt playing with a ball.

If so, she is definitely not normal.

Jiang Jian pondered: Could this be the danger that Xiao Jiang was talking about?

According to the nature of this game, this girl must be a trap, just like the nightmare that roamed last night.

In order not to disturb her and cause unnecessary trouble, Jiang Jian turned off the flashlight, hunched his back, stood on tiptoe, and leaned against the wall, preparing to go around the girl from the left side.

But just as he was about to get away from the sound of "one, two, three."

Somehow, the ball slipped from the girl's hands and rolled "gurgle, gurgle" to the side of Jiang Jian's leather boots, bumping into him.

Jiang Jian's heart skipped a beat.

Was discovered.

An innocent child's voice was heard in the darkness.

"Uncle, can you help me pick up the ball?"

When the flashlight was turned on again, the "girl" had silently moved in front of Jiang Jian, staring at the man face to face.

Under the thick and neat bangs is a small, pale, withered skull-like face.

From a pair of pitch-black skull eye sockets, bloated fat maggots were dropping like pearls.

It almost spilled on Jiang Jian's pants.

Her upper and lower jaw opened and closed, repeating sweetly once more.

"Uncle, can you help me pick up the ball?"

I shone the flashlight downwards, and as expected, there was no ball there.

Instead, it was a bloody, skullless dead head with flies flying around and a terrible stench.

no solution anymore.

Now that you're entangled, you have no choice but to deal with it.

"Okay, then stand still and I'll pick up the ball for you."

As Jiang Jian spoke, he bent down to pick up the ball.

The "girl" didn't expect the other party to be not afraid at all, and was a little confused.

But before she could think clearly, a green light flashed in front of her eyes, and she was cut in two by the flute sword.

As soon as she landed, Jiang Jian ran deep into the cave, trying to escape before the other party attacked.

But the sad thing is that at the end of this road is a complete stone wall.

He just took the wrong turn!

Behind him, the nightmare was already surging.

"...chatter......"

“Gulp…Gulp…Gulp…!”

"It hurts, uncle, it hurts!"

Looking back with the pale flashlight, Jiang Jian saw countless tumor-like things, filling the cave and rushing over.

On each tumor, there was one or several skull faces embedded, with creepy and disgusting maggots swirling inside the faces. They were quickly turning into big-headed flies in pink skirts and were rushing towards him like a tide.

It’s over.

These were the last two words Jiang Jian thought before he was swallowed.

Then he was swallowed up into the monster's nostrils.

The flashlight broke, the flute sword was blown away, and Jiang Jian felt like he was stuffed into a high-powered fully automatic washing machine. He was turned upside down by the swarm of monsters, his stomach was cramping, and he wanted to vomit, but he couldn't open his mouth.

My nose was blocked by something, my breathing stopped, and my lungs felt like they were about to explode.

At the moment before he was completely suffocated, Jiang Jian's eyes flashed with a kaleidoscope of thoughts and he thought about many things.

He regretted not listening to his apprentice just now. Why should he compete with young people when he is old?

What a pity! We haven’t had time to get a divorce yet. I really don’t want the pension to fall into the hands of that shrew.

And Xiaoda...Yixing...Hey, I still have a lot of things to do...

Just when his unwillingness and regret reached its peak and he was about to faint!

Jiang Jian's body suddenly felt lighter, all the monsters around him disappeared, and he fell down uncontrollably.

Before it hit the ground, it was suddenly caught by a large net and stopped ten centimeters above the ground.

Looking closely, it was Fan Wen who had woven a spider web to protect him.

Behind him, Jiang Yuan's voice was heard.

"Master, are you okay? Why did you come here? You scared me to death!"

Jiang Jian knelt on the ground after sucking in air. He retched dozens of times before he stood up with difficulty and asked, panting:

"Where have you been?"

"I'll go find this." Jiang Yuan picked up the broken glass jar in his hand and showed it to his master.

It was a translucent green glass jar.

There should have been a pink and yellow brain in the jar, with hundreds of thin nerves connected to it.

But now it had been smashed into pieces by Jiang Yuan, turned into a meat paste, and stuck to the broken glass jar, emitting a fresh smell of minced meat.

"I just saw that those bodies had no brains and were taken alive. I thought that the murderer might want to use them to do something that does not require a body but only a brain. Master, can you guess what it is?"

"Hint: The answer is not thinking."

Jiang Jian replied without any emotion: "...Dream on."

"Yep!"

Jiang Yuan clapped his hands in encouragement: "So, in order to prevent both of us from being trapped in the tunnel by nightmares, I rushed in before the nightmare appeared, broke the mechanism, found the brains, and smashed them one by one. The one in my hand is the last one."

"It's just... I didn't expect that Master would follow me."

When he said this, he tilted his head, blinked, and pretended to be curious:

"But why didn't you listen to my advice, Master? Why did you run away? If I had come a step later, you would have been killed."

Jiang Jian was also a man who cared about his reputation. He couldn't say that he was walking around just to vent his anger, so he could only grit his teeth and say:

"I'm...worried about you."

"Hahaha! I knew it!"

Jiang Yuan grinned, opened his arms, hugged Jiang Jian, and said happily:

"You are truly the best master in the world!"

Jiang Jian: “…”

hope so.
