I Can Rewind Chapter 159

  Chapter 159 Treacherous Branch Task (4) (33)

   Unexpectedly, the dark space in front of me is very large, about the size of a lecture theater with large classes in the school.

  The moment Yan Junze turned on the flashlight and looked forward, he was completely frightened by the scene in front of him.

  I saw dense crowds of people standing within the range illuminated by the flashlight.

  These people all turned their backs to him, and the clothes on each of them were old, even torn. There were men and women, standing silently, without any movement, as if... they were all dead.

  The people standing here occupy at least one-third of the entire underground space.

  Yan Junze scanned the surrounding area with his flashlight, and found that there were people standing on the other three sides except for the side near the tunnel.

  There are so many dead people crowded here, but there is no peculiar smell. It seems that they have been dead for a long time and all of them are in the state of mummies.

  Yan Junze didn't dare to move easily. After observing the surrounding environment like this, he began to think about his next move.

  My head is getting more and more painful, and my breathing is also very cloudy. I must find a way to eliminate the ghost thread connecting the four families as soon as possible.

   Otherwise, if he delays for a while, he himself will fall down here.

  Thinking of this level, he slowly stood up and walked towards the standing corpse closest to him.

  The back of the corpse looks like a young man, the clothes are covered with dust, and the damage is serious, the original appearance can no longer be seen.

  After approaching, Yan Junze first carefully leaned behind to observe whether there was anything unusual about the corpse standing here, or if there was something as a support.

   Otherwise, it would be fine, and it would be impossible for dozens of corpses to stand neatly in this underground space.

   After observing it again, it seemed that there was nothing there, but when Yan Junze turned to look at the front of the corpse, he trembled in fright at the strange scene in front of him.

   I saw that there were no eyeballs in the eye sockets of the young man's corpse, they were just black holes, and the mouth was also wide open. Not only him, this row looks like this, regardless of men and women.

  The chill in his heart was getting stronger and stronger, Yan Junze couldn't help touching the goosebumps floating on his arms, the skin there had been scratched just now in the tunnel, and it was blue and purple.

   At this moment, he fixed his eyes and looked into the young man's mouth, and the flashlight shone directly into his mouth.

  I saw an extremely thin thread protruding from the man's mouth, turning a corner at the corner of his mouth, as if the thread extended to the back.

   Turned to the back of the man's head and looked, but couldn't see anything unusual.

  After the silk thread extended to the rear, it seemed to disappear suddenly.

  Yan Junze thought for a while, and stretched out his hand to lightly touch the silk thread that was still outside the corner of his mouth, but it may be because it is too small, and there is almost no tactile sensation. It's as insensible as touching a spider's silk with your hands.

  If this thing is a thread, how can it be cut off? Just unplug it?

  I also don't know where the source of the ghost thread connection of the four families is.

  In the space of the corpses, the cold breath became more and more obvious at this moment, and Yan Junze felt as if a layer of gauze was covered between the nose and mouth, and his breathing was not smooth.

  I can't find the reason here, maybe I can find clues by walking inside.

   Thoughts popped up, Yan Junze no longer cared about these corpses, and instead walked to the innermost part of the underground space.

  When he walked out about ten steps and came to a position close to the middle, a female corpse that was nearer to the rock wall tunnel suddenly moved with a silk thread at the corner of its mouth.

  In the second after the silk thread was pulled, the female corpse turned around slowly, facing Yan Junze's direction, with her mouth wide open, her dark eye sockets seemed to be staring at Yan Junze's back.

  Everything was silent, Yan Junze was a little dizzy at the moment, and didn't notice anything unusual behind him.

  Standing in the middle of this underground space for a moment, he walked inside again, where there were two rows of standing corpses, also facing the outside.

  After Yan Junze moved, the female corpse who turned around suddenly started to move, walking towards him silently.

  Yan Junze shuddered suddenly, feeling that the more he walked inside, the colder his body became.

  Both flashlights were shining forward, he didn't notice the movement behind, and from the time the female corpse turned around to when it started to move, there was no sound at all.

   Soon Yan Junze stopped and looked behind the innermost row of corpses.

  The female corpse that was approaching behind her also stopped at this moment, with her mouth open, standing quietly.

   This row of corpses looks the same, with silk threads extending from the mouth, turning a corner at the corner of the mouth, and then disappearing.

  Yan Junze did not observe the corpse itself carefully this time, but lowered his head to see if there was any abnormality in the innermost part of the space.

  Looking at it this way, under the light of the flashlight, I really made a discovery.

   I saw another hole in the wall at the innermost corner of the last row of corpses, but this hole was much narrower.

  Of course, it is also possible for Yan Junze to go in, but compared to the tunnel he just passed through, this is a lot more laborious, and there is no guarantee that the size of the space inside will be the same as what he sees now.

  Currently, this underground space is already very dangerous, and the air is extremely bad. Even if he can drill into this hole, he is not going to go in again.

  If the key to solving this branch task is still inside, then Yan Junze can only give up and can't take any more risks. Because it is very possible that the guy from the main mission is inside.

  Looking at the entrance of the cave, Yan Junze suddenly showed a strange expression, noticing that the position of the entrance of the cave was strange, he immediately walked over with a flashlight.

  After he walked, the female corpse not far behind began to move again, still silently, and the distance between one person and one corpse was getting closer.

After arriving at the entrance of the cave, Yan Junze squatted down and took a flashlight to shine on the edge of the cave, and found that there were a lot of tangled silk screens around the edge. There were countless thread ends of these screens facing outwards, but the end facing outwards also passed through after a certain distance. Disappear.

   It is exactly the same as the silk threads outside the mouth corners of those corpses.

  Yan Junze became thoughtful.

   "Could it be that after the silk thread stretches out, it becomes invisible?"

  A weird thought came to him, he looked sideways at the row of corpses standing closest to him, "If the silk thread at the corner of the mouth of the corpse is connected to the position of the silk thread at the hole, then I can't see part of it."

   At this moment, he felt a chill approaching quickly.

  Because he turned his head sideways, he didn't look back, but the chill was getting closer. Intuitively, it seems that a corpse is approaching him, very close.

  Looking from the direction of the hole full of silk threads, Yan Junze turned his face sideways, and behind him on the left, a female corpse opened its mouth and moved its head closer.

   At this moment, both stand still.

   "Is there something behind?" Yan Junze maintained this posture without any other movements. He glanced sideways and rearward from the corner of his eyes, and felt a figure squatting there.

   "What does this guy want?"

  At the same time, he also noticed that the person approaching from the side did not make any other movements, and seemed to stop suddenly, staring at him.

  If I don't move, that person doesn't move either.

  Looking down at the opening of the hole again, I found that the silk thread wrapped outside the hole suddenly began to turn black at this moment, as if soaked in ink, and the black part quickly spread up along the thread.
