Chapter 35 Tingting
Su Mu did not expose his little trick. In the nightmare world full of dangers, Ye Fanyu still has value.
"Hey, arrange someone to go down and take a look."
"Yes, leader!" Zhao Chaoyao immediately assigned one of the team. The man was naturally fearless and directly lit the lantern and went down to the cellar.
Everyone watched from above, watching the faint candlelight gradually deepen, and then swallowed by the darkness bit by bit.
A moment later, the voice of the younger brother came from below: "Leader, there is no danger inside."
Su Mu's expression did not change. He did not go down, but ordered: "You come up first."
"Yes, leader!"
Then, the younger brother climbed up intact. After Su Mu looked carefully, he was completely sure that there should be no danger in the cellar.
Ye Fanyu said before that villagers can change their appearance and imitate close people. If a villager in the cellar killed the younger brother of the Viper Gang and turned into his appearance, it would be dangerous to go down rashly.
"What's down there?"
"It's very dark down there, there are some dried bloodstains on the walls, and there are torture instruments, but those torture instruments are quite special, mostly whips, chili oil, ropes, cross locks, etc...."
Ye Fanyu sneered: "It seems that this village chief is quite good at playing."
Su Mu frowned slightly: "Let's go down and take a look, Yang Dongqing will lead the way."
As a meat shield, Yang Dongqing naturally had to be at the front.
The silent Yang Dongqing took the lead and went into the cellar, followed by Ye Fanyu, and then Su Mu.
Soon, everyone entered the cellar, leaving only a few younger brothers to guard outside.
The cellar was about 50 square meters, and it was pitch black. Only the lantern in his hand could barely illuminate the way ahead, and it was filled with a rotten smell.
"Let me do it." Ye Fanyu might have been really hungry, and he couldn't wait any longer. He stretched out a finger, and swish!
A hot flame appeared at the fingertips, and the light it emitted was several times brighter than a candle, instantly illuminating the entire cellar.
At this time, everyone also saw the full picture of the cellar. The walls around were all cement, with many mottled bloodstains on them. Those bloodstains had long been imprinted on the walls under the influence of time, showing a dark color.
In the center of the cellar was a huge cross lock, and there were still bloodstains on the handcuffs and shackles on it. It seemed that someone was fixed on it, forming a big character.
Next to the cross lock was a wooden table, on which were displayed whips, short sticks, candles, and some women's clothes.
Seeing this, it was not difficult for everyone to imagine what this cellar was used for.
"Fuck!" Ye Fanyu cursed inwardly: "A good cellar doesn't store food, but has to do these things." He stepped forward and picked up the unused red candles on the table.
"Fortunately, there are still three candles, which are more or less useful. Mr. Su, there are many of you. I'll keep one of these candles, and you can share the rest."
The response to Ye Fanyu was a dead silence.
He tilted his head slightly, looked at Su Mu and others, and said in confusion: "Su..."
As soon as he said a word, he found something wrong, because Su Mu and others' eyes were all focused on the cross lock behind him.
His scalp was numb instantly, and he retreated without thinking, away from the cross lock. While retreating, he turned his head and looked with his peripheral vision, and his pupils suddenly shrank.
It turned out that a woman appeared on the empty cross lock at some point!
The woman was thin, with disheveled hair, wearing a blue and white floral dress, in the shape of a big character, and was fixed on the cross lock.
The messy hair blocked her face, and the floral dress was also stained with blood and filth.
Everyone looked at the woman as if they were facing a great enemy. Ye Fanyu, who was startled, was even more shocked and angry, and the flame bomb in his hand for lighting was ignited.
Leaving a long flame trail in the air, he blasted towards the woman fiercely.
However, the flame bullet went straight through the woman's body, as if it was passing through the air, and finally hit the corner of the cellar, bursting out a bright spark.
This blow made the entire cellar tremble, and a lot of dust fell from the roof.
Zhao Zhaoyao, who was quick-handed and quick-eyed, suddenly pulled the suit on his body, and then swung it violently, like an umbrella, and opened the suit to block Su Mu's head.
"This is... Time Silhouette!" Ye Fanyu said in doubt.
"What is Time Silhouette?" Yang Dongqing asked at Su Mu's eye signal.
Ye Fanyu took a deep breath: "I also heard from others that the so-called time silhouette is to cut out fragments or pictures of time like paper cutting. To put it bluntly, it is like watching a movie, and the director is time. Everything that happens is recorded by time, and then it is revealed because of some mysterious power.
The nightmare world is very special, and the time here is also distorted, so it is easy to have the phenomenon of time silhouette. It should be that I just took the candle and triggered some opportunity to cause the time silhouette.
Everyone can rest assured that the time silhouette only shows sound and picture, and there is no danger."
"Time is so boring? Everything is recorded?" Yang Dongqing frowned at the woman in the picture. He was very disgusted with this kind of thing.
Ye Fanyu shook his head: "Not everything is recorded, only some people or things with special meaning, or the protagonist in the picture is in some extreme emotions, resonating with time, will be recorded.
In this nightmare, the time silhouette was triggered. Maybe the woman in the picture is the source of the dream. In other words, this is her nightmare!"
"Her nightmare?" Yang Dongqing's eyes fell on the woman's floral dress: "Her clothes are very retro, not like modern people, but more like people from decades ago. Could this be a nightmare from decades ago?"
"It should be. The nightmare world is made up of endless nightmares. Modern people have nightmares, and so do ancient people. So sometimes it is possible to encounter ancient scenes in the nightmare world.
The boundary between dreams and reality is broken, and even time is chaotic."
While everyone was talking, another person suddenly appeared in the time silhouette. It was a young man with dark skin and a simple face. He appeared in the picture with a plate of steaming dumplings in his hand.
Su Mu's eyes showed a thoughtful look: "There was this man among the villagers before."
Everyone looked at him quickly and felt that he was familiar.
"Tingting! Tingting! I'm here to see you." The man walked quickly to the woman and said happily, "Tingting, look, I brought you your favorite dumplings."
At this time, the woman in the cross lock seemed to be awakened and raised her head with difficulty, and everyone finally saw her face clearly.
