00854 Human bones
Inside the unassuming globe is an intricately designed mechanism that emits a ray of light thinner than a laser to the rest of the room.
In the middle of it, Mannie couldn't help but marvel at the design.
However, Mannie soon felt that something was wrong, because such a hidden mechanism would normally be more cumbersome to design, but now it is a bit ...... to be able to discover this secret just by sitting at her desk
Of course, that wasn't the point, and Manny didn't have time to think about it, so she walked around the room to take a closer look at what the light was trying to show.
However, the light and shadow on the walls of the room are not some kind of text, and it is not even symbols.
But it was something like this that gave Mannie an inexplicable sense of familiarity...... It was as if she had been in the middle of it at some point......
Before she knew it, Mannie's eyes began to lose their brilliance, and soon after, as if she had lost her soul, she began to grope along the wall of the study, and when she reached the cabinet, her hand was pressed against the cabinet again, slowly, gently.
Until the "click" reappeared, the light was gone, the globe dimmed, and the study was silent, while Mannie stood outside the secret door that was open in a flash.
After a long time, Mannie's eyes shone again, and when she looked up at the door in front of her, Mannie was stunned for a moment, and then involuntarily took two steps back.
'What just happened?' How do I ......' Mannie remembers the feeling she felt like she was in that state, but she couldn't remember what happened.
But she remembered that feeling......
Those lights and shadows that don't even count as symbols...... It is the traces left by the factor order...... Over here...... Has there ever been a factor burst here?
Thinking back on what she had seen and what had happened in the past few days, Mannie could not have such doubts...... But...... It doesn't look like Gaia......
Could it be ......
Mannie didn't dare to think about it anymore, and after she calmed down, she turned on the light and walked towards the door with the torque blaster for self-defense.
After entering the secret door, I walked forward only two meters before I found a staircase.
Moreover, there are no walls on either side of the stairs, which is completely empty.
Mannie crouched down and leaned down to look down with the light, but the light was blocked by the fog deep underground, and it couldn't reach far.
This scared Mannie a little, and she didn't expect there to be fog underground.
After hesitating for a while, Mannie decided to check it out during the day, but as soon as she turned around, she found that the secret door was slowly closed, Mannie was startled when she saw this, and quickly ran over to try to open the secret door, but the closed secret door fit almost perfectly with the surrounding walls, Mannie tried for a long time, and finally gave up.
At the moment of giving up, Mannie felt that she was really an idiot and could still be trapped by such a stupid setting after watching so many movies.
It's okay now, if you don't want to go down, there's no way, so Mannie just let it out, it's nothing more than a death, she has already seen it.
So she mustered up her courage and took a step downward.
Even more unexpected happened, when she stepped down the stairs a few steps, many lights suddenly turned on in the thick fog, and then a loud "buzzing" sound was heard, as if some kind of ventilation system had been activated.
Mannie paused, feeling the change, and said to herself, 'There's no one alive here, is there?' Why didn't I notice this before? ’
Just as he was thinking, the fog began to reced.
As the fog cleared, Mannie's vision widened a lot, but when she looked at it, she couldn't help but gasp, and her whole body was fixed there.
I saw that there were hundreds of corpses densely packed in this underground world, and all of them were headless, leaving only their naked bodies neatly arranged on the platform under the steps.
Mannie had been through strong winds and waves, and it was not surprising that there were some corpses, but she was really rare to see so many headless corpses.
'Who the hell is this?' Murderer? Or a collector's killer? Shocked and confused, Mannie slowly walked down the steps.
When she got to the platform, Mannie realized that there was a rather large space in the darkness around the platform, but those places seemed to be coated with absorbent paint, and there was no margin in sight.
'Looks like the town's secrets are bloody......,' Mannie walked among the corpses, and after looking at them for a while, she frowned, and decided that she might as well find a way to leave first.
So she began to look around the corpse for other mechanisms.
However, this underground platform is very neat, and Mannie searched around and couldn't find anything suspicious, as if there were only corpses here, but it was these corpses that made Mannie sure that she must not have found the key location yet, after all, it was impossible for someone to transport so many corpses down at once, let alone cut off her head and lie here.
Thinking of this, Mannie folded her hands and said to the corpses around her: "I'm sorry everyone, I didn't mean to offend, but now that I'm trapped here, I have no choice but to ask everyone to move the place!" ”
With that, Mannie bowed again and apologized.
However, Mannie is not superstitious, she only does it to convey respect for the deceased.
With that done, Mannie set about removing the body.
But as soon as she came into contact with the cold corpse, Mannie's heart still couldn't help but tremble, but fortunately, she slowly got used to it.
And when she pushed away the third row, the thirteenth corpse, it really allowed her to find a pit hidden under the corpse.
There was a small black box in the pit, and Mannie picked it up and looked at it, feeling as if she had seen it somewhere. The small box, which gave a sense of heaviness in both appearance and texture, looked very mysterious, and after Mannie took it in her hand and tested the weight, she carefully opened it.
In order to protect herself at the moment of opening, Mannie immediately dodged it.
But the imaginary danger is not there, and there is only one broken bone in the box.
'What is this?' Mannie frowned, picked up the box and looked at it carefully, the bone was supposed to be a human bone, but it was strange why someone would put a human bone here alone.
But anyway, I found out that it was still good.
So the devil sent the spirit, and Mannie reached out and took the bone and put it in her pocket.
But the moment it came into contact with that human bone, those messy lights and shadows from before reappeared, and the impact effect was far greater than before!
In a trance, Mannie's ears were filled with screams and screams of fleeing, crying, roaring, laughing, gunfire, explosions, and the sound of flesh being torn apart......
"Uh......" Mannie let out a slightly painful groan as she fell to her knees, her body flickering and trembling in light.
As the sound became more and more real, a scene began to appear in front of Mannie's eyes.
It was vague and messy at first, but it quickly became clear.
And in that moment of clarity, the first sight Mannie saw was a little girl lying in a pool of blood, her eyes wide open as if curious, and the lollipop crumbled in her hand.
Mannie was shocked by the shocking sight, and she wanted to get closer, to make sure the child was still alive.
As a result, suddenly a car rushed from a distance, with a continuous whistle, mercilessly ran over the little girl's body......
Blood splattered, and then a loud collision sound was heard, Mannie looked back, the car crashed into a house not far away, it had already started to catch fire, the people in the car struggled several times, trying to escape, but his body was firmly fixed in the driver's seat by the airbag and seat belt, he looked up, as if he saw Mannie, but only for a moment, the painful and confused eyes turned into horror!
Mannie was stunned, then turned back to see another car rushing past and crashing into the previous one.
Another accident, this time, the driver flew out of the front window, then landed on the street, falling to pieces......
Looking at the little girl before, she was still in place, and the car just drove past her, and it didn't really run over her, but ...... It only kept her intact, and the luster in those eyes had long since dimmed.
Mannie looked around, and the whole world seemed to go crazy.
Nothing but death can be seen......
Mannie closed her eyes, covered her ears, and crouched down sadly.
After a long time, when it was finally over, and when she opened her eyes again, Mannie found herself still on the underground platform, but when she looked up, she saw the secret door slowly opening.
And the human bone in her hand was gone, leaving only the feeling that it once existed.
Mannie stood up, looked at the bodies around her, and thought, 'Is this how you died......?'
No one answered her, and Mannie clenched her fists and got up and walked back up the steps back to the study.
The secret door closed again, and in that moment, Mannie had a hunch that the door might never be opened again, because ...... The purpose of its existence has been realized.
……
Early in the morning, push open the door of the villa and head back out onto the street.
The town was as quiet as ever, with no living creatures in sight, and Mannie walked slowly through the streets, knowing that she might have to continue her search, but she always had a hunch that behind all this mystery, the truth didn't seem to be discovered.
Or rather......
Mannie was really scared......
So on the evening of the sixth day, Mannie made a decision, she was going to leave this place and go out into the world, not necessarily with a purpose, but not to stay here...... Because then sooner or later she will be swallowed up by the dead silence here, and thus completely lost.
With this decision, Mannie began to pack her bags, taking very few things with her as she didn't need to eat, but when she left she yelled at the town, leaving a message: "I'm leaving!" If you really exist, this may be our farewell! ”
The town was quiet, and no one answered Mannie.
But when Mannie set out on the road with a smile on her face, she had a hunch that it was there, and that she must be watching the passerby's back as he left.
