Chapter 55 Nightmare
He had forgotten how long he had been in this darkness. Every time he opened his eyes, he saw nothing but boundless darkness.

"Hello? Is anyone here?" He tried to shout around, but except for the sound of wind passing by his ears, there was no movement.

It was eerily quiet here, as if except for him, an old man over fifty years old, there was no sign of any living person. Only his own breathing sounded loudly in this space.

Taking a deep breath, he tentatively took a few steps forward, his palms sweating uncontrollably.

Yes, his body was indeed in bad condition, and now he was out of breath even if he took a few steps.Therefore, in the current situation, it is undoubtedly a kind of torture for him.

However, luck will not fall from the sky, and twists and turns will not appear at this time.

After he walked for a long time and felt severe pain in his feet, he slowly bent down and rested on the spot.

He clenched his fist and knocked slowly and weakly on his leg a few times, which slightly relieved the pain.

The surroundings were still quiet, and he smiled to himself in the darkness, his nervousness slightly relieved.

Because he could no longer walk, he casually hummed a ditty.

The deep and hoarse voice is full of the vicissitudes of time, but the music he spits out is mixed with a bit of freedom and ease.

He seemed to be fascinated by the hum, and his head shook involuntarily.

Ta, tap, tap.There seemed to be water dripping down, and the sound woke up the old man who was addicted to the tune.

Is it the sound of water?He has been here for so long and he hasn't heard any other sounds?

With a bit of joy in his heart and a hidden hope of getting out, he stood up from the ground with his hands on the ground.

My feet were caught off guard and became numb, and a heart-wrenching feeling spread as soon as I touched the ground.

But he doesn't care about so much now. As long as he can get out, it is more important than anything else.

He dragged his tired body and hurried towards the place where the sound of water came from. When he got close, he listened carefully again, stretched out his hand and touched the ground until he felt wet water stains, and then he was sure that the source of the water was there. nearby.

despair.Another drop of water fell and landed on the old man's face.

He no longer hesitated this time, and stretched out his hand towards the spot where the water dripped.

Suddenly, there was a slight sound fluctuation in the air.The old man's body sensed the approaching danger before his thoughts, so he no longer hesitated and immediately ran in the opposite direction.

The thing behind him seemed a little angry, and was chasing after him. It kept making squawking sounds, and with the dust on the ground flying, he vaguely guessed what it was, so he ran even harder, but after all, he was When I get old, I lose my strength all of a sudden.

The moment he lay on the ground, he thought, this is it. Today, his life will end here.

He released his strength, put his whole body back, and pressed against the stone wall behind him.

Click, a dull sound sounded.It turned out that there was a cave inside the stone wall. The old man was driven by the rotating stone wall and his whole body was sent inside.

The thing outside was about to get in, but unexpectedly it was firmly blocked from the outside. The mechanism returned to its original state. The thing searched carefully against the stone wall several times, but couldn't seem to find the trick, so it bumped into it unwillingly. A pair of dark eyes stared closely at the stone wall, and after waiting for a while, he slowly left.

However, no one noticed it in the darkness. It only took a few steps before its entire body dissipated like black smoke.But indoors, which was completely different from the outside, the old man was unconscious and everything was quiet.

……

"Miss Xu Deng, can you really cure my old man's disease?" A luxuriously dressed old lady looked at the little girl in front of her, and she had some calculations in her mind.

If the junior member of the Xuan family hadn't introduced this person to her, she would never have allowed such a young girl to make mischief.After all, human life is at stake.

Xuan Mo, who was beside her, was not anxious when he heard this. He just kept a suitable smile and watched the interaction between the two, like a handsome young man coming to watch the fun.

Even though assistant Xiao Zhou didn't accept Xu Deng, he was a little speechless watching from the side.

God, my eldest young master, why are you so calm? Your sweetheart is like this, and I don’t see you doing anything to help or say anything. You just watch other people’s excitement. How can you win over them? I feel good about it.

However, Xu Deng was actually questioning the old lady's question, and was not anxious. Instead, he remained calm and asked: "Mrs. Qian, did your family member ever go out or even be with anyone before he became ill?" Have you been there before?"

Mrs. Qian did not hesitate and said: "Of course not. He has always been obsessed with research and doesn't like to go out on weekdays."

The people I invited before have also asked about this, and they all said that evil spirits have entered the house, and they have to do something to eliminate it. However, after so many attempts, the final result is often nothing.

She finally understood.She didn't know how difficult this disease was, but she knew very well whether the people she found were capable.

Seeing the look of disbelief in her eyes and brows, Xu Deng didn't waste any more time and asked a few more questions about her old man concisely.

"So, according to what you said, he has been ill for a while, and during this time he complained to you that he always dreamed of walking in the dark?" Xu Deng frowned, with a suspicion in his eyes. .

"Exactly. I didn't take it seriously at first, but seeing others getting worse and worse day by day and sleeping longer and longer every day, I couldn't help but not believe it."

"If only I had discovered it earlier, our old Qian wouldn't be like this." After saying that, Mrs. Qian wiped her tears, and her white hair seemed to be covered with a layer of frost.

"Mrs. Qian, don't be too sad to avoid hurting your body." Xuan Mo, who was standing aside, spoke at the right time. He seemed to look at Xu Deng inadvertently as he spoke, as if asking her if she was sure.

Xu Deng actually had a clue, but if he really wanted to find out what happened, he still had to go and see for himself.

She walked a few steps and said to the old lady: "In that case, please take me to see the old gentleman. Traditional Chinese medicine often says: 'look, smell, ask, and feel'. Without seeing it with my own eyes, I'm really not sure."

So, Xu Deng helped the old lady and walked into the old gentleman's room together.

This is a typical scholar's room, and the atmosphere that greets you is the smell of knowledge.But as soon as he entered the door, Xu Deng looked at Mr. Qian lying on the bed with emotion.

The old man on the bed was pale, with a trace of black air lingering on his forehead, and his breathing was a bit rapid, looking like he was being stupefied.

Sure enough, it was not much different from what I thought.Xu Deng's face was condensed. Although he understood in his heart, he did not relax because of it.
