Through the daily life of Ghost Slayer

Chapter 38
Zhang Xie agreed with Zuo Hezi's decision and walked back, away from danger and back to the sunshine.

Inoue was not happy, "Captain, we finally came here, maybe we can find treasures here," he added, "or find the ruins that explorers are looking for, and increase our prestige."

The last sentence caught Sawako's gaze, and Inoue's words planted the seeds of hope in her heart, took root and sprouted, and thrived. What did she come here for?Isn't it just to be a great explorer?
As early as her fifth birthday, her father's friend sent a nautical chart, which planted the seeds of adventure in her young mind. As she grew older, her dream of exploring became stronger.

She longed to one day have her name engraved in the history of explorers for future generations to learn and worship. Thinking of this, her face turned slightly red. Ten years later, she stood here as an explorer. How could she flinch?
Zhang Xie felt the change in the girl's mood behind him and secretly thought that something was wrong. The girl's mood could easily be incited by others.

"Okay, I want to be a respected and remembered explorer," Sawako clenched her pink fists and shouted, "Forward!"

The echo was booming and deafening, Zuo Hezi covered his ears, his face was pale.

As the team continued to advance, the corridor became narrower and narrower, unable to stand up, and had to lie down. The rough cloth rubbed against the earth and stones, stinging the skin, and the rustling sound echoed in the black cave.

After a while, the four lay down on the ground panting, only Zhang Xie was calm and relaxed.

"Is this a passage?"

Zuo Hezi's patience was worn out, and he looked at the bottomless black hole, and he felt like retreating again. When will he end when he climbs down like this?The surroundings began to become dry, and the commoner rubbed against the earth and stones, and a blue electric arc was faintly visible, and the numbness spread all over the body.

Okada's stature is too strong, in the narrow and long corridor, he was in a dilemma, pushing forward desperately, the hole became narrower and narrower, he didn't dare to go any further, he lay in the middle with a bitter expression on his face.

"It's definitely not going to work like this. There's no point in exploring this hole," Okada complained, moving his body back.

Inoue stopped talking, and he obviously didn't dare to move forward. He might get stuck somewhere, waiting to die in pain.

The team unanimously decided to retreat. Unable to turn around, they could only move back along the corridor. Every time they moved, someone screamed in pain.

"Ouch, you stepped on my head."

"Oh, where are you putting your feet?"

"Inoue, if you touch your hands again, believe it or not, I will kick your face to death?" Zuohezi's voice was high-pitched, echoing endlessly in the cave.

Poor Inoue protested, "You cover up the lights, I can't see."

Sawako held the lamp holder and lifted it up. The light became a little brighter.

The shadows of the five people were stretched out.

"Ouch," was the last person to scream.

Inoue stopped in a hurry, and Sawako asked with concern: "What's wrong? Who is calling?"

"It's not me," Okada replied in a low voice.

"It's definitely not me," Inoue tried his best to turn his head back, barely seeing the situation behind through the light, "it's Nagasawa."

In Zhang Xie's impression, Nagasawa was not talkative, almost silent, sitting on the side in a muffled voice, either baking canned food, building a tent, or sleeping silently, so he was not familiar with his voice, but the other three were It is impossible for the team members who get along day and night to be unfamiliar with its voice, right?

Sawako's voice became more and more trembling, "What's wrong with Nagasawa? Why did you stop? Get out quickly!"

The team made another move and began to retreat, but no one answered Sawako's question.

"What's wrong with Nagasawa?" Zuo Hezi raised his voice, and the cave echoed endlessly, as if countless people were whispering.

"I'm fine," Nagasawa's voice was slightly different from the previous scream.

"Your voice was weird just now," Zuo Hezi muttered without thinking, and concentrated on moving his body.

Darkness often breeds fear, and a dark and narrow space is more likely to cause people to collapse. In the quiet cave, there is only the sound of fine and coarse cloth rubbing against the earth and rocks, and the sound of searchlights hitting the stone wall is extremely harsh. No one speaks, only silent fear growing rapidly.

"Why haven't you gone out yet?" Sawako's voice was filled with tears.

They hadn't looked at the time and couldn't calculate the time it took to enter and exit the hole, so no one could answer Zuo Hezi. In a state of fear, it would naturally feel that the time was extremely long. This is an illusion. Zhang Xie thought to himself that the speed of retreating was obviously slow Due to the forward speed, the entrance of the cave has not widened yet, so they should still be at the end of the corridor.

"Zhang Xiejun," Zuo Hezi lowered his voice.

Zhang Xie hummed and waited for the next chapter.

"I feel very wrong," Zuo Hezi still couldn't hold back the crying.

"We are almost at the wide passage, as long as we can stand up," Zhang Xie whispered to comfort Sawako. The poor little girl was about to be driven crazy by the dark and narrow space.

"Why haven't you reached the wide passage yet?" After a while, Sawako began to sob.

Based on the time they walked, they should have arrived at the wide passage. After passing through the wide passage, they would arrive at the exit. However, after walking for more than half of the time, the surrounding area was still narrow, and they could hit the cold and dry stone wall as soon as they raised their heads.

Except for Zuo Hezi, the other three didn't speak anymore, Zuo Hezi was even more frightened, "Zhang Xiejun?"

Zhang Xie hummed lightly, and after getting the answer, Zuo Hezi lowered his voice again, "Mr. Okada?"

Okada, who was between Sawako and Zhang Xie, also gave a humming hum.

In the darkness, she heard Zuo Hezi let out a long breath, and she asked again in a low voice, "Mr. Inoue?"

Inoue didn't answer, and Zuo Hezi's heart immediately rose to her throat, and she tried to call out again: "Mr. Inoue?"

The black shadow at his feet was moving, but he didn't answer her, so Sawako raised his voice slightly: "Mr. Inoue?"

Inoue turned a deaf ear and moved her body on her own. Sawako wanted to turn the searchlight backwards, but the surrounding area was too narrow and she couldn't move at all. She tried again and finally gave up.

"Mr. Inoue, I misunderstood you just now, I'm really sorry," Zuo Hezi only said that Inoue was angry for what happened just now, so he apologized first.

There was still no response, and if it wasn't for the black shadows constantly moving under his feet, he would have thought that Inoue had disappeared.

"Nagasawa-kun?" Sawako changed his target.

Nagasawa didn't respond either, which made Zuo Hezi's face change drastically, and she raised her voice again: "Nagasawa-kun?"

The cave wall was still dry and narrow, and did not receive the long-awaited moisture. All of this was weird, and Zhang Xie's heart beat. He checked the time since Zuo Hezi started asking, and it has been two hours now.

No matter how long the time in consciousness is, it can never exceed two hours, and the team members behind have also become weird, especially Inoue and Nagasawa.

For some reason, Zhang Xie couldn’t feel the breath of evil spirits like other ghost-slaying swordsmen, so he was prone to suffer big losses when facing evil spirits who were good at hiding. , like his physique doesn't support this function at all.
