Chapter 48: Being Chased by Cockroaches

  I was stunned for a moment, and nodded helplessly, saying: "You're right, this passage is not the one I took last time. Let's finish walking through this passage first, and then go walk through another passage? That way, it will feel more reassuring!" After I finished speaking, I glanced around at everything in this small room that was neither big nor small.

  Found that apart from some large boxes containing books, textbooks and data bags, there was nothing else, just like the basement of a library, no other abnormalities.

  However, the two of us discovered a manhole cover of a sewer and an exit that continued to move forward. Suddenly, we were both stunned. I saw Liu Yamei and me standing at the entrance of the sewer manhole cover, slightly hesitant. Liu Yamei was carefully examining the manhole cover of the sewer, seemingly very suspicious and hesitant.

  After a while, she looked at me with a strange expression and said: "This manhole cover can be opened, there should be a passage underneath? Where are we going to go first?" Liu Yamei curiously looked at me.

  I listened and immediately frowned, then looked at the iron door and said: "Let's go this way, I think it feels more complicated down there, it might be more dangerous too. Let's search for something simple first! By the way, do you have a phone signal? I didn't bring my phone!" I curiously looked at Liu Yamei and said.

  Liu Yamei listened and then took out her phone to take a look, only to find that there was no signal at all. She shook her head helplessly at me, I nodded, and then Liu Yamei and I opened the iron door and continued to move forward. We walked out of the iron door, and as we did, we saw ourselves walking in.

  Suddenly, a loud "bang" rang out, startling the two of us. We looked at each other with some embarrassment and glanced back at the iron door behind us. Liu Yamei tried to open it, but found that it couldn't be opened no matter what. She immediately lost her energy and scolded a few curses before falling silent.

  I suddenly felt a bit tense at this time, I don't know why, but I feel like we two have entered that mode of being stared at.

  I shone my flashlight around, discovering that this was a space similar to a library on the ground. Row upon row of bookshelves stood neatly in the light of my lamp, looking like rows of people standing at attention under my gaze. This illusion sent a chill down my spine as we two took stock of our surroundings.

  Suddenly a faint footstep sounded, Liu Yamei heard it and immediately felt a thrill in her heart. She excitedly pulled out her gun and rushed out, chasing towards the source of the sound while shouting: "Halt! Don't move, I'm a police officer!" I was also startled and quickly followed after her.

  However, the bookshelf was too long and there were many of them. The mysterious person seemed to be playing hide-and-seek with us, running back and forth in the bookshelves. Liu Yamei and I couldn't find that person at all, but instead got ourselves dizzy and disoriented. At this time, Liu Yamei and I leaned tightly against each other, motionless, staring intently at the footsteps.

  "Liu sister wait a minute, it seems something is not quite right! I suddenly discovered a clue, but wasn't quite sure, so I hastily called out to Liu Yamei and told her."

  Liu Yamei listened and suddenly paused for a moment, then hurriedly leaned in close to me and whispered: "What did you discover? Is it that the other party is not just one person?"

  "This footsteps sound a bit too stiff, listen carefully, it sounds like the footsteps are set to run from this side to that side and then back again, making us dizzy! I feel like these footsteps are fake!"

  At this time, the sound of footsteps came from the left bookshelf passage again. The two of us were suddenly startled and saw that Liu Yamei suddenly became furious, lifted one foot heavily and kicked it on the bookshelf.

  "With a loud crash, the three-meter-long bookshelf was kicked down by Liu Yamei. I looked at Liu Yamei's face with a strange expression, but soon we were both disappointed. We rushed to the front and shone our lights, only to find that there was no one there, just the sound of footsteps flashing by."

  The scene in front of me was too strange, and I couldn't help but feel a chill run down my spine. At this time, Liu Yamei kicked over the bookshelves here with a loud crash, one by one, and they all fell to the ground. After a while, almost all the bookshelves had fallen, but as we two held flashlights and looked around, there was not a single person in sight.

  My face changed color, and the footsteps continued to appear, as if there was an invisible person running around in a daze. My face turned extremely ugly, I looked at Liu Yamei to see if she had discovered anything, but her face was also pale, clearly not having noticed anything either.

  I lifted one foot at this time, slightly jumped up and down, jumped over a bookshelf. As soon as I landed, I suddenly felt like I had stepped on something. Curious, I bent down to shine my flashlight and suddenly made a very strange expression: "What is this thing? Liu sister come take a look! Is it this that's playing tricks on us?"

  My tone was very angry, and I felt that the two of us were definitely being fooled by this. After Liu Yamei heard my words, she jumped over and shone her flashlight around, then said angrily: "I didn't expect this place to be carefully designed, these footsteps are coming from here, it's really despicable, it's infuriating!"

  Liu Yamei stomped on another tiny speaker next to her, and I looked at the footsteps that slowly echoed around us with a face full of anger, only then did I realize that the sound was coming from these speakers, just to scare the two of us.

  "This guy who set all this up, definitely isn't an ordinary person, his mind is extremely big. He started by making us tense and scared, then letting us collapse from the inside out. If we hadn't discovered this in time, I estimate that ordinary people would have been scared to collapse."

  I listened to Liu Yamei's analysis and couldn't help but nod in agreement, I think she was right, if it wasn't for the two of us discovering it in time, I'm afraid we would have been scared out of our wits by this strange footstep sound, who would have thought that this was an attack on our mental defense.

  After understanding this point, the two of us ignored the constantly ringing footsteps and directly found a iron door leading to another direction. Liu Yamei seemed to be very angry about being teased earlier, and she kicked the iron door heavily with one foot, completely destroying it.

  I smiled awkwardly and followed Liu Yamei in, only to find that it was a straight passageway. Seeing Liu Yamei about to walk in directly, I hastily pulled her back and said, "Liu sister, let's be careful, what if there are any traps inside?!" Just thinking about my past experiences made me shudder.

  Liu Yamei thought I was a bit too worried, but she also agreed with me and nodded. We carefully observed the movement inside the passage before us. After a while, we found that there was nothing in the passage except for some running cockroaches.

  As I looked down at the ground, I suddenly felt a bit strange and muttered to myself: "There seem to be more cockroaches here!" Because as soon as I walked into this passageway on the right side, I could see many cockroaches all along the way until I got here and there were still so many cockroaches around, which made me feel a bit surprised.

  "What did you say?" Liu Yamei seemed to have heard my whisper, curiously asking, I hastily shook my head and smiled, at this time Liu Yamei directly walked in, and I also gathered my thoughts and followed.

  After we walked past, I suddenly saw a disgusting scene that made me feel very nauseous. A large number of cockroaches were eating the carcass of a dead kitten. After seeing this, I felt extremely disgusted and my scalp started to tingle.

  Really, my brain...

  My mind went blank all of a sudden!!

  It's so disgusting and infuriating!!

  Liu Yamei also frowned uncomfortably, the scene in front of her was a bit frightening, cockroaches could even eat corpses, this scene was indeed beyond the expectations of both of us.

  "What's going on here? There are so many cockroaches, and their heads seem to be much bigger than usual! Just then, I saw Liu Yamei stepping on the cockroaches with one foot after another, flattening some of the crawling cockroaches around her, killing them dead."

  I don't know why, but seeing Liu Yamei trample the cockroach to death, I had a very bad premonition in my heart. I quickly grabbed Liu Yamei's arm and said, "Liu sister, let's keep going, don't stay here, these are just ordinary cockroaches, let's continue searching!" After finishing speaking, I walked forward.

  Liu Yamei also looked at the cockroaches on the ground with hatred and trampled a few more to death, then followed me step by step. The two of us didn't look back, but we didn't see that after we left, the flattened bodies of the cockroaches suddenly began to twitch, as if they were alive, slowly swelling up.

  Only the cockroaches that were trampled to death by Liu Yamei, although they did not recover their original appearance, still maintained the appearance of being trampled to death. One by one, the flattened cockroaches had enlarged at least ten times or more in size, with a height of at least 20 centimeters and a length of about one meter.
