Chapter 114: Suggest Renaming: The Cabin In The Woods
Lin Yan followed around everywhere today and wasn’t too tired. Plus, this wilderness wooden house had a real R star game vibe, so he really didn’t want to sleep. He just wanted to chat with Lao Yang to pass his night watch time.
So hearing Lao Yang say this, he shook his head without thinking: “Not sleepy, it’s fine. Isn’t it just staying up late? I’m used to it. By the way, is it true what you said before about sleeping in the mountains attracting wild beasts? Have you encountered any?”
At that moment, a wolf howl came from outside right on cue, and Lao Yang’s face got even worse: “We haven’t encountered any. It’s—it’s Cousin who said it. You, you hear outside, isn’t that a wolf—howling?”
Lao Yang was a bit scared, but Lin Yan didn’t care. He just found it thrilling. In his previous life, where did he ever have the chance to go to real wilderness like this? He hadn’t even climbed a mountain, at most he’d gone to Badaling and gotten half-dead tired. The famous mountains and rivers depicted by ancient people, he’d only seen them on TV. Now he finally had this opportunity, so of course he had to enjoy it to the fullest? It was like coming for tourism, without spending his own money—wasn’t that great?
Lao Yang originally wanted to scare Lin Yan a bit, so he could stand night watch alone with his rich experience, righteously sending him to sleep. He didn’t expect Lin Yan to hit back with: “Yeah, it sounds pretty good. This is the first time in my life I’ve heard a real wolf howl!”
“.” Lao Yang was very confused, Lao Yang was very despairing. Why didn’t this guy follow the script?
With the conversation here, seeing Lao Yang hesitate to speak, even Lin Yan knew Lao Yang wanted to chase him off to sleep. He didn’t quite understand— wasn’t it better to have one more person on night watch? What if he accidentally fell asleep? Or was it… that he planned to do something behind their backs while Lin Yan and Wu Xie were sleeping?
Fine, Lao Yang had successfully piqued his curiosity. In just a few hours, could he even make a trip inside the tomb and come back?
So after awkwardly chatting for nearly half an hour, he exaggeratedly yawned, hugged Xiao Bai Jiang tighter in his arms, and closed his eyes.
After a few minutes, seeing he had no movement, Lao Yang visibly breathed a sigh of relief.
Warmth from the fire pit came from in front, and the tip of his nose smelled dry grass and wood. Even though Lin Yan originally didn’t want to sleep much, not long after closing his eyes, he felt a wave of drowsiness come over him. If he didn’t want to know what Lao Yang was going to do, he would’ve been dead to the world asleep like Wu Xie long ago.
After more than half an hour, he felt footsteps quietly approaching him. It got dark in front of his eyes, as if Lao Yang’s hand was waving in front of his face. Lin Yan could even feel Lao Yang’s hand brushing his nose tip.
Strongly holding back the impulse to sneeze, Lin Yan tried his best to keep his eyeballs under his eyelids from moving, and kept his breathing steady.
A few seconds later, Lao Yang seemed to believe he was fast asleep and turned to Wu Xie’s side.
After confirming they were both asleep, Lao Yang lightened his footsteps as much as possible and went to the door. Lin Yan felt a cold wind blow through, the fire in the fire pit flickered nonstop, then quickly steadied.
Lao Yang went out.
He opened his eyes and scrambled up, ready to follow. Just then, he heard a “creak” from the attic upstairs, something falling on it. With that thing’s movement, the already somewhat rotten attic floor made continuous sounds, as if that thing was moving nonstop.
Gradually, that thing seemed to move right above his head.
Although the wooden house was still very warm, the combo of late night + unknown creature + oblivious companions made him a bit panicked, cold sweat beading at the tip of his nose.
That thing seemed to have stopped and didn’t move again. From the sound, it shouldn’t be anything big, but in this mystical tomb raiding world, anything was possible… He didn’t dare look up, hugged Xiao Bai Jiang, and softly asked it: “Xiao Bai Bai, do you know what thing is up there? Is it a threat to us?”
Xiao Bai Jiang jumped onto his shoulder, rubbed his neck very affectionately, and said in a cheerful tone: “Ying Ying Ying?”
Ah, he forgot he didn’t understand ying language! But from Xiao Bai Jiang’s tone, it probably wasn’t anything too threatening?
Thinking it over, Lin Yan decided it was better to share the fun. This kind of “good” thing only made sense shared with others… So he slapped Wu Xie awake.
Wu Xie was slapped awake and didn’t know what was going on yet. Just as he was about to speak, Lin Yan covered his mouth: “Shh!”
Mouth covered right after waking, Wu Xie instinctively started struggling, but calmed down after seeing it was Lin Yan. Looking around, he saw only Lin Yan and hurriedly looked into his eyes asking: Where’s Lao Yang?
After confirming Wu Xie wouldn’t yell and alert the thing upstairs, Lin Yan let go, shook his head: He went out just now… But never mind that first, there’s something in this attic!
For things like strange creatures crawling out from odd places, Wu Xie was used to it. He reflexively drew his dagger and asked Lin Yan: Where?
Lin Yan carefully pointed upwards: On the attic right above my head. I didn’t dare go up to look.
Had to say, two people had more courage than one. Though both were a bit scared, at least they could step up to the attic. Wu Xie went first, Lin Yan with Xiao Bai Jiang behind. Wu Xie felt Lin Yan tugging the back of his clothes nonstop, and walking along, he got a bit helpless: “Can you stop tugging my clothes? I’m already in front!”
Lin Yan was overjoyed: “Then I’ll go?”
Wu Xie: “…Shut up, you’re not going! You fucking dragged me into this. If you dare go, I’ll—” He reached back, pulled Xiao Bai Jiang into his arms: “This is called using the Son of Heaven to command the vassals!” Damn it, dog Lin Yan. Wasn’t he scared half to death too and still here? Slip away? In his dreams!
“Holy shit!” Lin Yan only felt a chill on his neck as Furball went into Wu Xie’s arms. This wasn’t scientific. Wu Xie had learned to be bad, even threatening now? But ditching Wu Xie now wouldn’t be good. It was he who’d disturbed his sweet dreams… But what if it was a ghost? He was really scared!
Lin Yan shrank his neck and honestly followed behind Wu Xie.
Wu Xie held dagger in one hand and flashlight in the other. After going up to the attic, he scanned around first and found nothing: “Lin Yan, did you hear wrong? There’s nothing here.”
Lin Yan finally dared to poke his head out and looked around the attic by Wu Xie’s flashlight light: “Impossible, I heard the attic floor creaking. There was no sound before we came up. It must be here!”
No sooner had he spoken than they exchanged a glance, both sensing something wrong, thinking of some rather supernatural possibility… Lin Yan’s face turned green. Forest, wooden house, cluttered attic… No wonder it felt so familiar!
If it weren’t for no obvious curse-looking thing inside and no certain book, wouldn’t this be The Cabin in the Woods?! Though not abroad here, given this notebook world’s view, he really couldn’t guarantee there were no ghosts in the world!
At this moment, Wu Xie’s gaze suddenly froze above Lin Yan. There, in the spot his flashlight light didn’t fully reach, a black shadow appeared.
