Chapter 229

"Merlin beard..." Chloe groaned, speechless.

Ankel, as always, is nobody's business and runs away.

The other three followed, none of them daring to make fun of their own lives. At this moment, the street has been engulfed by fog, almost nothing can be seen. The man turned into a centipede wriggled behind Hoffa in an extremely strange posture.

"Where are we going?" Chloe asked anxiously.

"How do I know where to go?" Hoffa wanted to be crazy. He pointed to Aldo in the rush: "ask him! These are his subconscious projections! "

"Hey, cheer up!" Chloe cheers Aldo up.

Aldo was short of breath and wanted to look behind him.

Chloe firmly held his head down and didn't let him look back: "come on, think quickly, where is the safest place for you?"

Chloe's words seemed to have a very strong calming effect. Aldo's mood became more stable again, and the thick fog immediately dispersed.

This time, a 40-50-meter-high hill hill appeared in the fog. There was an old abandoned pit in the middle of the hill. The pit was paved with railway tracks. It was probably the tunnel that once produced coal mines.

Without much warning, the four rushed into the mine.

As soon as I went in, the huge monster with half human and half insect behind me hit the hole heavily. The whole mountain was rocking and the gravel was falling.

There are a lot of wood and stones in the cave. Hoffa didn't hesitate to break the wooden beam used as support at the entrance of the mine. Without support, more gravel fell under the fierce impact, until the narrow hole was completely sealed, it could be restored to stability.

There was no light in the cave. He panted back. He didn't know whose leg he stepped on. He fell to the ground with a plop. I was too tired to move. I couldn't get up at all.

"Hiss!"

The monsters outside the cave made a startling sound of insects, and innumerable abdominal feet pierced in from every corner of the stone wall, like sharp metal javelins.

A real nightmare.

"Shh! Shh! Shh... It's all over. It's all in the past. It doesn't exist. "

Chloe pressed Aldo's shoulder and spoke fast in Aldo's ear. Finally, after his mood gradually stabilized, the voice of the monster outside the cave subsided, and the stomach and feet were slowly pulled out.

Chloe stopped comforting each other. She leaned against the wall, too tired to say a word. The other three were not much better. Ankel gasped for breath and just counted his fastest. Aldo was too frightened to breathe well. Foo's law made every effort to meditate and try to recover his magic power.

I don't know how long after that, there was a light of fire in the dark cave.

It was ankel who started a fire.

Hoffa found himself leaning on Aldo's leg and moved away in disgust.

There were many old and rotten wooden boxes in the cave. Ankel fumbled to collect some, and a fire broke out among four people.

The fire lit up the cave. There was a huge shadow in the cave. When several people saw the shadow, they felt a thump in their hearts.

However, the shadow did not move. On a closer look, it turned out to be a rusty steam locomotive, more than ten meters long, which was probably a part of Aldo's childhood memory.

A false alarm.

Several people wiped the cold sweat on their forehead almost at the same time.

Hoffa: "Aldo, is this cave safe? If that monster comes in again, the cave is so narrow, we have no place to hide."

"It's absolutely safe here." Aldo's voice was as quiet as a mosquito. "When I was a child, all my treasures would be hidden in this cave. When I was in a bad mood, I would often come to this cave to sit for a while."

"Cut," ankel snorted with disdain, "don't say that some of them are not. You are also highly valued by the high level in the association. I didn't expect that you are so unbearable that you can't even stand the devastation of this evil spirit. "

Aldo didn't retort and sat in the corner.

"When I go back this time, don't blame me for reporting this in writing. Your state is too unstable. I really don't know how you passed the examination at the beginning."

Ankel kept talking. Hoffa stopped him.

"Come on, don't talk about it. Besides, he is unstable, and the monster will become stronger."

Ankel is full of opinions, but he is also quite afraid of the monster in the nightmare, so he just chooses to shut up.

Four people no longer speak, they sit around the fire in a circle, some kind of pessimism began to spread among them.

Under the blessing of darkness, the brain seems to have inserted the wings of fantasy and begin to outline what may appear in the darkness.

Hoffa pounded his head. He couldn't help thinking of other people. He thought of playing cowboy and Indian with two friends in Hogwarts grass in his first grade. His two friends will hide, secretly look out, and then secretly run to another tree, hide again.At this time, Hoffa could see their skirts or robes swaying in the mottled light and shadow of the forest, and then he would "fire" at them with his wand. But even if you hit them. They don't want to get their clothes dirty. They always refuse to lie on the grass and pretend to be dead.

As for Hoffa, every time he dies, it's tragic and real. In his opinion, the purpose of the game is that his two friends want to see themselves die in various ways, and then watch him roll and get dirty on the ground.

Recalling the past, Hoffa can't help thinking that he hasn't sent any letters to his friends or tutors since he came here from England. All his actions are secret to them.

So he didn't get a letter or postcard from Miranda, Dumbledore, or osivia. This is totally different from Harry's future exploration in 50 years. Maybe his owl will carry letters around the world when he takes risks, so that he can keep close contact with the outside world.

If he writes a text message for help saying he wants to eat chocolate cake, it should be received in a few weeks.

Hoffa thought that if he died in the dark, probably no one would know. Maybe for those friends, when he decided to lose contact, he was already dead. Maybe Chloe is right. Double death has long been upon him. He is decadent, decadent.

"Hoffa, how are we going to get out of here?"

Chloe's question interrupted his fantasy. He looked up and found that the two German witches were also looking at him with bright eyes. No one wants to stay in this terrible place. They want to give some more important messages.

He sighed, shook his head and said, "there is too little observable information to unravel the essence of this nightmare."

After a moment's silence, ankel stood up and said, "enough, this dark place is really annoying. Just sitting down and waiting for death is no doubt. I think it's better to take the initiative."

"Without magic, what are you going to do?"

Hoffa sneered, "even if there is magic outside that monster may not be able to fight."

"What if Aldo loses consciousness?"

Ankel said. Aldo was shocked and looked pale at his cold faced companion.

Then, ankel suddenly pulled out a wooden stick which he didn't know when to hide from the back of his buttock and knocked on Aldo's head heavily.

Dong!!

With a dull sound, Aldo fell to the ground.

The head swelled up at a rate visible to the naked eye.

Chloe took a cold breath and drew back. Hoffa immediately stood up, picked up a torch in the fire and stood in front of Chloe.

Ankel threw away his stick, spread out his hand and gave a smile. He put his hand behind him and went around the fire.

"Just when the nun sang, I noticed that the more stable Aldo's mood was, the weaker the monster would be. Is that understandable? If Aldo lost his mood, the monster would disappear."

Hoffa couldn't say a word. He thought it was possible. But just because of this conjecture, he knocked his companion to death with a stick. This guy is too ruthless.

"Make a deal, Bach."

"What deal?"

"I'll collect the observation information, and you'll find a way to get us out of here. In return, I'll let you and miss lemme go when we get out. How about it? "

"Are you not afraid to blame the people above you?"

"To be honest with you, I don't care. Muller Mans is just a Muggle who can only paint cakes. I work under him only under the arrangement of the imperial wizard Association. Even if I can't finish his task, he can't do anything to me. "

Hoffa looked at the unconscious Aldo who fell on the ground and said slowly, "but knowing that the deal to be sold has to be done, I'm too stupid."

"Don't rush to a conclusion, my dear Mr. Bach. This is just a part of observation. If the monster outside disappears, it means that the nightmare is over. If you don't have...

"if you don't have it."

Hoffa interrupted him.

"If not, we just have to continue the experiment." Ankel smiles. "Until we find a way out of the dream."

Chloe whispered, "don't promise him, Hoffa." She went up to Aldo and pressed his carotid artery: "he just wanted to use you."

"Just use each other." "It seems that Miss lemme doesn't know anything about men's world," ankel said confidently

"You have a point. I can't find a reason to refuse."

Hoffa nodded, went to the blocked hole and put his ear to it. Ankel glanced at the angry Chloe with a sarcastic and mocking smile.

After listening for a moment, Hoffa turned his head and said, "there is no sound. What you do seems to work."

"Great. Is the nightmare over?" Encore excitedly picked up the torch and went to the entrance of the cave. He also put his ear on it.There is no sound outside. It's as quiet as a vacuum in the universe.

"It works."

"But it's no use just listening," ankel said. "We have to go out and have a look to see if the monster is really gone."

"You're right. You're damn right."

Hoffa said blandly, he gave way to a position: "then you come to open a way for us."

"You are very interesting." Ankel complains with a smile, reaching out to remove the rubble that had been knocked down by the monster.

But when he reached for it, his face changed. Because I don't know when, the obstacle composed of falling stones disappeared. Instead, a smooth and complete stone wall.

He couldn't believe it and touched it carefully again.

There is no doubt that the stone wall is so complete that even the most sophisticated instruments can not find a crack, as if it had been so complete since the birth of heaven and earth.

"What's going on?" Under the torch, ankel's face was confused and frightened.

Hoffa looked at him with a smile: "as you can see, we are completely trapped in the cave."
