Chapter 27 wedge

Lightning flashed across the night silently, but the rain did not fall for a long time. The air was humid and hot, and a few frogs lurked in the darkness and screamed feebly, as if they were dying. A few faltering candles suddenly bloomed in the dark night, and beside the candles, several faces wearing hideous demon masks appeared.Each masked figure wore black robes, and candles were held in the palms of their hands.After they looked at each other, one of them waved his hand, and a flash of lightning flashed across the sky in time, reflecting a dark three-story building behind them.The exterior walls of this small building have long been mottled, the windows are riddled with holes, and none of the glass remains intact, and the walls are covered with dark green vines.

Obviously, this is an old abandoned house. "Chief, is this the place?" A masked man asked softly, his voice trembling slightly.From the immature voice, it can be heard that he is a shy boy.The masked man named Chief who waved his hand just now nodded, and replied, "Yes, it's here." Her voice was very crisp, and it turned out to be a girl. There are five people wearing masks.Led by the chief, they walked towards the abandoned old house holding candles.The door of the old house was tightly closed, and several wall-climbing tigers hung down from the top of the lintel, covering the upper half of the iron gate.The chief went to the door, stretched out his hand and pushed it lightly, only to hear a piercing groan, and the door opened—it turned out that the iron door was not locked.

"I didn't expect that the iron gate of this old house was not locked." The chief said in surprise. The shy boy wearing a mask said cautiously: "Originally, this door was locked. However, when I came to explore the way in the afternoon, I only used two thin wires, and it took two minutes to pry it open." Open the door lock." He paused and said, "If you wait until now to unlock it, it will take a lot of time." Five juvenile fish run through the entry hole.When I first entered the old house, the raindrops finally fell densely, making the window lattices crackle and crackle.When the raindrops fell, the wind also picked up, and the wind poured into the house through the missing glass windows. Several candles struggled and shook a few times, and suddenly went out.

"Light the candles!" urged the Chief. "Pa-ta!" A partner lit the lighter and lit the candle in his hand.Then, someone else lit a candle. The chief struck a match, lit the candle in his hand, and looked around, only to find that only four candles were lit in the room. "Hey, who hasn't lit the candle yet?" she asked in surprise.But everyone was wearing a hideous demon mask, and she couldn't tell who didn't light the candle at all. "Who are you all? Say your names!" said the Chief. The other three masked teenagers replied respectively: "I am bronze.", "I am ears.", "I am Thor." Bronze and Thor are both boys, and ears are girls.These strange names are their screen names.

The chief also realized that the only thing missing from the answer was the shy boy just now. She remembered that the boy's online name was Earthworm.Before coming to the old house, the chief once asked him why he took such a strange screen name. Earthworm said that he was already used to being buried in the ground so that no one would find out, and he liked being alone.The chief always felt that the boy named Earthworm was autistic. The four teenagers guarded the candlelight with their hands, looking for earthworms in the gloomy old house.The chief shouted loudly: "Earthworm, come out, don't be joking. Such jokes are not funny at all!" But the earthworm did not answer her.

At this time, the chief saw clearly the situation in the old house by candlelight. This is a very spacious room with neatly arranged tables.The table was covered with thick dust, and there were many large and small glasses and jars on it.The air was filled with a very strange smell, a little sour and astringent, like the smell of disinfectant in a hospital. The chief walked to a table with a candle in his hand, and when he was about to pick up a jar to have a look, he suddenly tripped and fell to the ground with something.When she fell to the ground, the candle in her hand went out. The other three teenagers hurried to the place where the chief fell, and held out the candle to her side.At this time, they saw the thing that tripped the chief.They uttered a scream at the same time, threw away the candle, and staggered out of the doorway in panic, into the rain.

Beside the chief lay a boy wearing a mask. Blood oozed from the boy's body, forming a pool of blood.In the back of the boy's heart, stuck a sharp dagger——this boy is an earthworm, and he has stopped breathing. The chief uttered a sharp scream, groped in the dark and got up, struggling to escape from the horrible old house.But as soon as he took a step, he found that his ankle was caught by a wet hand.Just as a flash of lightning passed outside the house, she turned her head and saw that the earthworm's eyes had opened, and two lines of bright red blood had slid down from the eye sockets.

Earthworms are grinning.
