Chapter 255: Cruel and ruthless Xu Ercong
"Refuse to receive guests?"
Xu Ercong frowned. This bank has a bit of a temper. Aren’t they afraid of being complained by people... or ghosts?
"No! I have to go in and see what's going on today!"
Xu Ercong also got angry. He ignored the warning and forced the door open. The rolling door made a loud rattling sound.
Finally, the hard work paid off and the door opened.
The rolling door was not pried open by Xu Ercong, but opened by itself.
Xu Ercong felt a sense of accomplishment as he watched the rolling door automatically roll up on the net.
The glass door inside the rolling shutter door had also slowly opened, and it was pitch black inside. Xu Ercong looked at the eerie darkness, and still couldn't help but murmur in his heart.
"What on earth could be in here?"
Xu Ercong thought, he had been knocking on the door just now, and now the door had opened by itself, it would be unreasonable if he didn't go in.
Go in and take a look, the worst that can happen is that you'll lose your virginity and die!
Xu Ercong made up his mind, dragged his suitcase and walked into the darkness.
Endless darkness enveloped Xu Ercong. Even though he used the flashlight on his mobile phone to shine around, he could only barely see the scene within one meter in front of him. Anywhere further away was pitch black.
With the faint light, Xu Ercong could roughly see the dark scene in front of him. Several bank counters were scattered in the hall, and a pitch-black screen hung above. The overall structure of the bank hall was no different from the banks Xu Ercong had seen in the real world.
The biggest difference may be that there is silence all around, without any movement or sound.
Xu Ercong could vaguely hear a soft voice from the depths of the darkness, which was a little blurry and unclear, as if it came from a very far away place.
"Tick! Tick!"
The further Xu Ercong walked in, the more obvious the sound became, as if it was the sound of water dripping.
Xu Ercong followed the sound and walked deep into the bank. At the back of several bank counters was a passage.
"This should be a safe passage, but there is no sign and the gate of this passage is also very strange."
Xu Ercong checked around. The doors of the passage were out of tune with the modern bank structure. There were unknown strange patterns engraved on the two doors, which looked like ferocious and roaring ghost faces, and many mysterious patterns that Xu Ercong did not recognize.
The entire gate seems to be made of iron rather than copper, and has a very ancient sacrificial style. Deep inside the open gate is an even denser darkness, a darkness that even the light from a mobile phone’s flashlight cannot dispel.
The sound came from inside this door. Xu Ercong hesitated a little, but still walked into the door dragging his suitcase.
Endless darkness swept in from all directions, enveloping Xu Ercong. The dim light only allowed Xu Ercong to see a range of less than half a meter in front of him. The chill in the air became stronger, and the feeling of being secretly watched became stronger.
Xu Ercong walked forward cautiously, looking around vigilantly. He had only taken two steps when he suddenly felt something blocking him in front of him.
I reached out and touched it. It felt stiff and cold, as if it were a lump of stone. It was covered with uneven marks and a little prickly.
"What the hell is this?"
Xu Ercong raised his cell phone and took a picture.
A pair of wide-open red eyes stared at Xu Ercong, looking silently at Xu Ercong.
"Fuck!"
Xu Ercong was so scared that he took a few steps back. He felt like his scalp was tingling.
No matter what it is, I am most afraid of it appearing suddenly.
Xu Ercong took a few steps back and saw clearly that it was a stiff ancient doll with the same height and proportions as a real person. It was wearing tattered armor, holding rusty chains in its hands, and had a ferocious, pale and terrifying expression on its face.
The doll is so lifelike that you can still tell the wax material on its face from the red paint that covers its lips and eyes.
The doll is wearing colorful clothes and has a colorful face, making it look like a clown. The combination looks weird no matter how you look at it.
"There's something strange about this bank!"
Xu Ercong muttered to himself: "Who would put this thing in the bank for no reason?"
Xu Ercong looked at the doll warily, then kicked it a few times and poked it a few times with a steel pipe. The lifelike doll staggered to the ground, making a "clang" sound that echoed far away in the corridor.
For now, this doll should not be a ghost.
Xu Ercong breathed a sigh of relief and continued to move forward.
After walking for a while, Xu Ercong turned around and ran back.
He squatted on the ground, staring at the doll's tilted head.
One person, one doll.
In this endless darkness, they stared at each other in silence.
"You're really not a ghost?"
Xu Ercong suddenly spoke up, looking at the doll, and asked suspiciously: "I'll give you one chance. If you are a ghost, come out quickly, don't wait for me to do it myself."
The doll remained silent, without speaking or changing. It just lay quietly on the ground, with its head tilted to the side, looking at Xu Ercong.
“Puff!”
Xu Ercong picked up a steel pipe and poked it into the doll's eyes.
"Well, the impact feels a little rough. There is no flesh and blood inside. It looks like a vacuum."
Xu Ercong picked up a knife, cut off the doll's head, and then separated the doll's limbs, and quickly disassembled the doll successfully.
The doll does not look like it is made of steel or wood, and is easier to damage than paper. Xu Ercong studied the doll thoroughly from head to toe without much effort.
"The interior of the body is vacuum-free and not made of hard materials. The pigment on the face is quite precious and has not faded."
"It looks like it's quite old."
Xu Ercong looked at the doll parts scattered all over the floor with satisfaction, then stood up contentedly: "I gave you a chance, but you didn't cherish it, so don't blame me for being cruel and ruthless."
This doll looks weird. No matter what it is, we should disassemble it first. Even if it mutates, the danger should be reduced to a minimum.
Xu Ercong was ready to leave, but he quickly thought of another question: "Wait, will this thing assemble itself?"
Xu Ercong went back and took the doll parts out of the dark passage, found the bank counter, and placed the doll parts in different bank cabinets, and stuck the doll's head in the corner of the counter.
After eliminating all possibilities, Xu Ercong continued to go back to the depths of the passage and go deeper inside.
A few minutes after Xu Ercong left, as if to confirm that Xu Ercong would never come back, the cabinets of several bank counters suddenly shook, and the shaking became more and more intense, but they were still unable to escape the constraints of the cabinets.
"Bang! Bang!"
The doll's head stuck in the corner of the counter was also turning strangely, but it seemed like its head was too big. No matter how it rolled and turned, it couldn't leave the corner.
Strange noises occurred one after another in the bank lobby, with the sound of "bang bang bang" non-stop, like a weird symphony in the night.
…
Xu Ercong had been walking for almost half an hour, and the doll hadn't caught up with him. He was very satisfied with his previous arrangement.
It’s just that I don’t know when this dark passage will end.
After walking for almost ten minutes, Xu Ercong vaguely saw a candle light suddenly appear not far ahead, flickering as if it would go out at any time.
Xu Ercong walked over quickly.
There was some inexplicable light in the darkness, illuminating the front, just like a spotlight shining from above, allowing him to clearly see that the candlelight was actually an oil lamp.
A dim oil lamp was placed on a table, and behind the table sat a thin figure whose appearance could not be seen clearly.
"Hello!"
Xu Ercong shouted: "Who are you, a human or a ghost?"
The figure did not speak, and Xu Ercong did not move forward. Instead, he looked around.
The surroundings were still dark, except for the table about three or four meters in front of him. On the table were an oil lamp, a bamboo slip, and a broken wooden sword.
The air was very chilly and Xu Ercong couldn't help but shiver. He stared at the figure behind the table and spoke tentatively.
"I'll give you one chance. If you're a human or a ghost, speak up quickly, or else don't blame me for offending you."
After a while, just when Xu Ercong couldn't help but try it himself, a majestic voice came out.
The voice was low and hoarse, and seemed to come from all directions, making it impossible to hear the direction or tell whether it was a man or a woman.
"Who are you and what are you doing?"
