51. Terrifying face
If Song Qiuli could see the actions of that black shadow at this moment, he would definitely feel very strange, but Song Qiuli couldn't see him at all.
Although there was a slight amount of skylight exposed in the gap overhead, the cave was still very dark, and Song Qiuli didn't seem to be able to adapt to the darkness in the cave.
Moreover, when he had just fallen from it into the deep pool, the strong water pressure caused his eyes to be temporarily blinded.
Then, the man actually began to mumble to himself, and a pair of originally dim eyes suddenly flashed with a meteor-like light, and kept saying: Like ...... It's too similar...... It's so much like that.
Song Qiuli rubbed his eyes, he still couldn't see the person hiding in the dark, but after hearing his words, he was a little strange, and said: I don't know what the predecessor meant by "too similar"?
The man was so excited that he seemed to be a little unable to help himself, and his breathing began to become rapid, and he said, "I mean, you are too similar to a person, really too similar."
Song Qiuli was even more strange.
He looked hard in the direction from which the voice came, but could still only see the boundless darkness around him, and then, reaching forward and touching it, but he did not touch anything, so he had to say:
There is a black rumbling everywhere here, and even if the seniors have the ability to see things at night, at most they only see my general outline, and they can't see my specific appearance and facial features clearly, so how do you know that I have a resemblance to the person you said?
If the black shadow hiding in the darkness had any hesitation about Song Qiuli just now, then, at this moment, he could already be completely sure that the person standing in front of him at this moment was definitely the person he thought he was.
His panting voice became thicker and thicker, and his emotions became more and more excited, as if he had suddenly found a way out of this boundless dark and closed cave, and said in a deep voice:
Although a person's appearance, mannerisms, and even swordsmanship can be changed, so that others can't see it, but a person's voice can't be changed.
Because no matter how you change your appearance, no matter how you change your tone, or even swallow charcoal and poison at the cost of destroying your voice, but when you speak, you will still retain the original traces.
For example, before speaking, I cough inadvertently, or I stutter a little when I am nervous about lying, or I breathe in slowly when I start thinking about something.
Perhaps, people who are not familiar with you will never notice this, but those who have lived and played with you since childhood, or even spent time and night, will definitely notice.
When you do these things, you may be careless, even invisible, but anyone who has known you well will surely notice this.
Just now, when I asked your name, there was a sudden pause in your answer, and then, listening carefully, I realized that the way you speak to a person is too similar.
Song Qiuli's face changed again, as if he had completely said what he was thinking, but he had to pretend to be very innocent, and said loudly: I don't know who this person is that the predecessor said?
The man's emotions were even more excited, but he was trying his best to suppress his agitated emotions, and then said the following words, saying: What I am talking about is the second son of the Golden Villa, Bai Qingyi.
Song Qiuli's hand was clenched tightly, biting his lip hard, as if he was also controlling his emotions, and said: I am not a white light clothes.
The man seemed to have expected him to say this, and suddenly sighed as if relieved, and his tone was not as cold as it was at the beginning, and said lightly:
It is precisely because you are not in white light clothes that I wonder how you have those habits, and there seems to be a very familiar smell on your body.
Song Qiuli tried hard to support his body to prevent himself from falling, and then, trying to touch it in the dark, trying to touch the person who was talking as soon as possible, but although the person was close, it still made Song Qiuli uncertain.
Song Qiuli had no choice but to give up looking for him, and said loudly: Of course I have a smell that you are very familiar with, because you have lived in this hellish black hole all day long, smelling this water that is even more smelly than a dead corpse, and I just fell into this pool and soaked in stinky water, of course you are familiar with it.
The man seemed to sigh and laugh.
Song Qiuli glanced in the direction where the voice came from, and suddenly showed a very strange expression, and then, as if trying his best to suppress his feelings, said: So, the senior and Bai Qingyi seem to be very familiar?
Hearing this, the man suddenly burst out laughing, his voice full of pathos and sadness, as if he had been touched by some sad past, and he couldn't stop laughing.
When he heard the words "Bai Qingyi", he even had a proud feeling in his tone, and said in a deep voice: Not only is it very familiar, it is simply inseparable.
Song Qiuli bit his lip.
Although he hadn't seen the appearance of this person in the darkness at the moment, he had already vaguely guessed who this person was.
If there is light in the cave now, you will definitely find that Song Qiuli's face is ugly at the moment, and it is still that kind of frightened and ugly, as if he has encountered something that he has been worried about for a long time, and said: So, senior, can you let me see what you look like?
The man suddenly sighed and said, "Since you want to see me so much, then you see, I am afraid that you will be scared when you see it."
Song Qiuli looked at the black shadow, but he still couldn't see anything, so he couldn't help but sigh and said loudly: The ugliness in the rivers and lakes, I think I've seen a lot, and even seen death, what else can I be afraid of now.
Besides, I also know that although the seniors spoke coldly, they were actually not big treacherous people, so there was no reason to be afraid.
However, you see that the hole is black, you can't see anything at all, and it seems that you broke your eyes when you just fell from above, so did the seniors ......
It was only then that the man suddenly realized that the cave was dark, and said, "Oh, I almost forgot that there is no light in the cave, and I haven't lit a light here for almost twenty years."
Hearing this, Song Qiuli was even more surprised, and muttered in an incredible tone: Could it be ...... Predecessor...... You've never lit a fire here.
As soon as the words fell, I saw that the black shadow suddenly raised his hand and threw out a small stone, and the stone and the stone wall collided with each other, rubbing out a few faint sparks.
Then, the lights in the cave suddenly flashed, like fireflies in the dark night, and the sparks that were scrapped fell on a few torches hanging on the stone wall.
Suddenly, the cave lit up.
Seeing such a strong light for the first time, Song Qiuli's eyes suddenly stinged a little, so he covered his eyes with his sleeves, and then tried his best to look at the person who lit the fire.
Against the backdrop of the firelight, Song Qiuli only saw a bleak face, a terrifying face.
It's not so much a face as a skull wrapped in wax paper.
On this face, there is no flesh at all, let alone expression, and the completely protruding cheekbones almost pierce the dry and old skin.
His whole body was so thin that it was almost like a rock, a piece of rusty scrap metal, or rather a piece of dry and rotten wood, like a peeling wall, completely devoid of human appearance.
If it was a real ghost who saw him, he would probably be scared away.
