Path of the Dead Prequel: Wings of Silver

A deep tunnel lay in front of us. The mountain wind that often blew in the surrounding hilly areas was squeezed into this winding wind tunnel when it reached the stone mountain. Hair blowing. Even if it's only daytime, standing in front of the weed-covered railway tracks, we can't help but feel a little frightened and worried.

Although the residents of the town said that nothing happened, even the young people who loved fun said so, but this is where Lao Qian's experience began. Do we really want to live it again? What if our foreigners, who have different physiques from Georgians, are particularly suitable for the tastes of the filth? No one can say for sure. I couldn't help but hesitate a little, and held Krys' hand tightly again.

A white dot swayed in the shadow, running towards us quickly and making a chirping sound. He bumped into us when he arrived and couldn't help but stop where he was. Not long after, I heard a voice deep in the tunnel shouting to stop and wait for me, and soon another head popped up. This is a local black kid and his village dog. They are carrying some fishing nets. They may be fishing nearby.

"What did I think? Even the children with runny noses were running around, but we are not as bold as others."I took a long breath and bumped Krys with my shoulder, indicating that we can start.

"Don't worry, I'll call the detectives first and let them know. You also know that Van Si likes to work alone. Last night he suggested walking through the tunnel first. He must not be angry with Lao Dai and Lao You."She thought for a moment and took out her mobile phone.

While Krys was talking on the phone, I walked over to the black kid to see what he was doing, and by the way, I placed the glass jar he dropped on the mud floor. It turned out that this guy would As soon as the fishing rod was put down, he was busy catching soil toads. This is a very small terrestrial toad that likes to hide in grass piles, soil lumps and puddles, feeding on moths, fly larvae and water fleas, as long as there is wasteland. The river beaches are full of them. In the past, people who loved fishing usually used them as bait and strung them on wires to catch loaches.

"The shrimps we have here are big and sweet, and there are so many in the pond beyond Heifengkou that you could catch them all in a month."The child saw that I was watching him busy with interest, but there was no sign of anything happening, so he asked,"Uncle, are you and that woman waiting for someone?"

"No, we're not waiting for anyone, we're just walking around. This tunnel is very old and looks a bit eerie. I am considering whether to go through it to the other side of the mountain. I leaned over, took out half a piece of chocolate, and asked,"Do you often come here to play alone?""

"Sometimes I come, this is a deserted tunnel, what's so scary about it? But the woman might be afraid, because there were many toads crawling inside, each one as big as a fist."With quick hands and feet, the black child twisted the toad's hind legs, stood up and threw it to the ground. The little frog died immediately. Then he took out a knife, chopped off the head and limbs skillfully, peeled the skin and threw it into a glass jar. It's over. I used to do this kind of thing when I was a kid, but my methods were no more civilized than his. Now that I'm an adult, I feel a little cruel. In the blink of an eye, he killed a few more, raised his head and said,"My name is Eugene. Just come with me and go shrimp fishing."

Krys, who was not far away, waved his hand to me. After the call was finished, Lao Dai said that it was okay to go and have a look first. The sun was strong and there should be no problem. Why didn't Fan Pang drive back to Gibson and tell him? In this way, there would be less We got a car. They are looking for information in the five surrounding towns. Some national detectives will come back soon, because the four-eyed woman found something very interesting, which may be a major clue.

Seeing us taking our time, the black child has already He ran into the tunnel and disappeared, while the village dog squatted in the grass and looked at Krys in a daze. She and I turned on the flashlight, called the dog, and just started walking deeper and deeper into the darkness. Instead of calling it A tunnel is more appropriately called a cave, because it is a cave that was cut out of the rock. It has only been reinforced and wired, and the rocks underneath have been shoveled and the rails have been paved. The toil of the last century. Public work is so rough and heroic, you have to accept it. In the old days, there were no various risk assessments and objections from neighboring residents. Once the land was bought, people were hurriedly found to start the work, and hiring was indispensable. It is very common for immigrants to have various accidents, and there is no special supervision agency to talk about it.

Some civil rights books like to use rhetorical techniques to describe the working people before large-scale infrastructure construction, and there is a corpse lying under every meter of railway track. , black slaves had chains strung around their necks, and were driven to death in batches by shouts and whips. In fact, it was not that exaggerated. Mechanized operations had begun at that time, and the strong laborers were working step by step. It really means exploitation. , that is, the hourly wages are too low, and no one cares about casualties. Modern concept engineering vehicles have appeared, and there are certainly deaths, but not to that extent. If so many people die, it will be a huge loss to the mine owner himself. He still has to hire people to fill in the work. If you encounter some unscrupulous colleagues who secretly stumble you or use legal procedures to delay your construction period, then bankruptcy and closure is almost a 100% possibility.

"So, you think that’s all nonsense? Krys looked around and asked,"But the records in the book are unlikely to be wrong, right?""

"One point that needs to be corrected is that I never said that the labor force at that time was not barbaric. The process of accumulating original capital must have been quite bloody. Only you can’t imagine it, but they couldn’t do it. But the fact that many people die every day must be a fabrication. There are only a few hundred people in the nearby town. Most of them settled here during the mining period, so it can be seen that the scale is not large. I don't like those who write books even more."I took out a cigarette from my bag and lit it. I handed her one and said with a smile,"What kind of saints do you really think they are? It would be too naive to think so. There is a driving force in everything you do. The owner of the mine does it for money, and the writer does it for fame. If he coincides with some trends of the times, he may be able to enter politics. This is like those working men and women sitting in the office, typing on the keyboard with manicured nails, while the working people are bleeding and sweating under the hot sun. As a result, they are all reported by anchors like Dixie, and they also take the credit. You Do you think it's fair? And after fifty years of reincarnation, almost two generations of people die, how can you still collect information? Is it like you've witnessed it with your own eyes? That's simply impossible. Don't take this kind of thing seriously. You can search for the debtor or company at that time and you will know clearly by looking at the data."

Krys walked towards the cave wall, caressed the rocks, and took a hand of black ash, which was left by the soot from the small trains that had been running freight for a long time throughout the ages. The whole tunnel was very noisy, with all kinds of toads chirping one after another. There are also strange sounds mixed in, just as the boys at the river said, a few grass snakes will occasionally swim by. Except for swooping out unexpectedly to stimulate you, there is no danger.

I originally thought that girls are especially afraid of insects, ants, snakes and frogs, but Krys She seems to be an anomaly. Even if a toad jumps on her instep, she doesn't take it seriously. She kicks it far away, then picks up a pebble and throws it, which immediately smashes it into meat cakes. As for those little snakes, she actually knows more than me. She said that all snakes crawling in places with snakes and strawberries are basically non-venomous. They live on snails, beetles, and moths, and they never grow big. No one would catch them for food. She used to live in Wyoming. I've seen a lot. As he spoke, Krys picked up one and played with it. When he felt tired, he grabbed both ends and twitched, as if he was throwing a hemp rope away. It can be seen that he was used to killing creatures when he was a child. , the cruelty of the technique and the nonchalance of the expression were not taken seriously at all.

People are always afraid of one or more things, for example, Lin Rui is most afraid of dead rats and freshly chopped off bloody pig heads, and she should be no exception. In the dark When I was tired of walking, I asked this question and wanted to know what she was afraid of. Krys asked me to give priority to men and said that the things she was afraid of did not exist in this country. I thought for a moment and if I really wanted to list a few things Come on, geckos are probably one of them, and the second one is the alpacas in Peru, because I was spat on by them. When I finished speaking, she didn’t answer anything and walked away with a smile.

"Eh? But if you don't play Truth or Dare like this, I've explained everything from my heart and soul, so you have to say a few words."I chased her away, and she ran away laughing, playing with each other in the dark. However, after all, she had not practiced in a dark environment like me, and she was captured by me not long after she ran away. This feeling is similar to that of being alone. It was like that when it was dark at the foot of the mountain. Miss Lukugu and I had a good time, and we were in a trance for a while. Soon I touched her plump breasts and smelled the fragrance on her neck, and then I let go of my hand, which seemed awkward. Uneasy. But Krys didn't care. Instead, he leaned down and tumbled among the rocks.

Looking at her concentrated back and the light coming from the mung bean-sized exit in the distance, this scene was so similar to the past few months. Before. But Krys had long pale blond hair, the same as in memoryShe can tell the difference. What's wrong with me? Why are you looking at her so obsessively? Could it be that I really did something worse than a beast last night? This feeling is really fucked up

"I remember Lao Qian said that the reason why he planned to go shopping at the other end of the tunnel was because he got a voucher for a vendor's reception. Do you want to see if this is true? Seeing me standing frozen, she waved her hand and came forward, holding up a piece of paper that was so torn that only the corners were left, pointing at the word Roulette, and asked:"Since it says a big carousel, it must refer to the casino. Don't you think so?" Frightened, I also looked around."

This is a good idea. If Lao Qian came here a few months ago and was trapped here all night, he would definitely leave some items behind. Moreover, this place has been deserted for too long. The townspeople use roads to enter and exit. On weekdays, No one moved around inside, and traces could be found. I followed her instructions and got busy on the other side. Soon I dug out a silk glove and a silver wine flask in the mud. Just as I was about to move forward, I heard her voice from the other side. The call seems to have made a major discovery

"What's wrong?"I fell a few times in the dark, rubbed my numb knees and came to her. What I saw in Krys's hand was a long feather, which looked very familiar. I couldn't help but reach out to her, wanting to get closer. Look carefully. When she raised her head and her eyes met, I only glanced at her. I was so shocked that I could not speak. My legs became weak and I collapsed on the ground. I pointed at her and was speechless.

"Where are you knocking?"Krys stepped forward to pull me, and her face returned to its original shape as she stood up. Seeing me sweating profusely, she was frightened and shouted,"Okay, I'm afraid of hamsters and lop-eared rabbits. I bit my finger, don't scare me on purpose!"

"No, it's okay."I didn't wait for her to come forward, and stood up quickly, grabbing the feather and looking at it carefully. Not only did she know this thing, I was even more familiar with it, because it was the bird feather on the wing of Lao Dai, which also showed that I had been there before. This damn place. Looking at it, I couldn’t help but murmur to myself:"How is this possible? I have never been to Georgia, why is Saga Wing in the tunnel?"

"Why are you so scared? Did you see something?"She felt scared, and hurriedly ran behind me, grabbed my shoulders, and began to look towards the entrance. She urged me to answer her from time to time. Being so close, the smell of her natural milk became stronger, and beads of sweat dripped on her face. It was extremely difficult to control. I waved my hand to her and said it was just because of the flashlight, it was just dazzling and nothing happened.

"You must have seen something and deliberately refused to tell me."She pushed my hand away angrily and walked straight ahead. Soon she found the tire mark with a cry. But I leaned against the rock wall and lit a cigarette, trying my best to suppress the panic and try to calm down. Of course I was. She saw something, but she shouldn't know it. The moment Krys raised his head, his whole face changed, and that person was Freesia! Yes, although we only met once, but I was in Cat Blood Shackles I have seen and hugged her before, and I will never forget her helplessness and loss of soul. That delicate face is more beautiful and more regrettable than Miss Lukugu.

Sure enough, Krys, Lin Rui and her, each other, There is a relationship, in other words, Freesia is always watching me in another world, and intends to get close to me through her, and wants to talk to me. But according to the description, she is already dead, that is a ghost! So, since Freesia Being able to control Lin Rui in another time and space line to trigger a vacuum blood explosion, her learning to control Krys is just a process. I don’t dare to think about what happens next. If I can’t find a countermeasure, I will be accused of being unkind and unjust. , reviled by all generations

"The tire tracks rubbed against the track, but it didn't stop and continued running forward."Krys was still talking to herself. She didn't notice anything strange about me, and ran further and further away by herself, shouting:"That car should have gone to the other end of the tunnel!"

"Hey, wait."I blindly stretched out my hand toward her back, and then lowered it quickly. So what if I told her to stop? I am the one with the problem now. I hope all this is just my guess, maybe it is really a dazzle.

Soon, Krys ran out of the tunnel, and I started running after her. As I was running, suddenly there was a strange whistling sound in my ears, as if there were people hiding around me laughing, no? They were an odd number but a large group, exactly the same as when I was attacked by the old Qian family, but they didn't fly around like in the nightmare, sometimes blocking the way and sometimes ruffling my long hair, which made me feel chilly and frightened.

I was busy He took out the loose objects from the soul sickle bag from his pocket and started throwing them in all directions. Thunderbolts hit the rock wall and exploded, releasing thick smoke at the same time. However, the loose objects were of no use at all, as if they were for those things. The bell rang, and more and more whispers seemed to have found an organization, gathering from all directions. I can't stay in this ghost tunnel. If I continue to sit here, I will go crazy sooner or later! No, maybe I have already gone crazy.!

I got up in panic, covered my ears and started running forward desperately. I just wanted to crawl through the endless darkness and return to the sun to catch my breath. Just as I was stumbling, a black shadow suddenly appeared in front of me. He didn't have time to stop, so he bumped into it, and soon rolled into a ball with the thing. When he stopped, he saw that he was lying in Krys's arms.

"This is really unreasonable!"I pushed her away and yelled in all directions:"Where are you? Why are you trying to frame me? This is someone else's girlfriend. You keep pushing me towards her. How long are you going to pester me? I don't even fucking know you!"

"I just heard the sound of firecrackers and came over to take a look. What's going on here? Alex, don't scare me! That's not fun!"She first took a few steps back and saw me sitting on the ground cursing. Then she slowly came over and asked,"Who are you talking to?"

"I think you have a problem too, why are you not annoyed at all? From morning to now, I have touched you more than once. If the fight was unintentional at first, I could explain it to myself as unintentional, and now they bump into each other again. If this continues, sooner or later I will cause a big mess!"

"bump? When did you touch me? She looked confused, blinked her big eyes, lifted me up, and walked towards the tunnel not far away. As she walked, she said,"Isn't it normal for us to bump into each other?" Even when moving furniture, it is easy to bump into each other. In the past, I even asked you to lie on my lap and pick my ears. Why don’t you think that’s called touching? Why don't we go back to the B&B to rest. I'm worried about you. You look very bad."

"No, I can go anywhere, but I just can’t go back to the hotel."I shook my head, threw her hand away, ran quickly into the sunshine, took out my mobile phone and dialed the number. As soon as the call was connected, I couldn't wait to shout into the phone:"Something big has happened!"
