Chapter 693 Sleepwalking
Chapter 693 Sleepwalking
"Hey, wait!"
When Chen Yile chased out, he found that the worker he had just met was walking towards the depths of the distant mining area.
It was an abandoned area of the mining area, with almost no lights and complete darkness.
Fellow workers have told Chen Yile that the mining area has regulations that activities in abandoned areas are very dangerous and that no one can enter without permission, otherwise it is easy to get into danger.
However, this worker just walked towards the abandoned area without doing anything.
"Brother, come back soon!"
Seeing him walking further and further away, Chen Yile quickly reminded him.
But the man seemed not to hear it, and continued walking forward without turning back.
Chen Yile hurried over a few steps, came to his co-worker, and grabbed him.
Unexpectedly, the worker who had just been pushed away seemed to have become a completely different person.
He swung hard and actually threw Chen Yile aside.
Chen Yile only felt as if his shoulder was hit hard by something, and a sharp pain came over him.
He quickly stood up, but found himself thrown to the ground, covered in mud.
The worker didn't even look back and continued walking forward.
"Brother, what's wrong with you?"
Chen Yile felt something was wrong, and quickly attacked again, sending out a golden light that wrapped around his co-worker's waist.
This golden light is Chen Yile's special skill. Even if an ordinary person is entangled in it, it is difficult to break free.
Unexpectedly, the worker was as strong as an ox and he broke free from the golden light.
He continued forward, completely ignoring Chen Yile.
Chen Yile felt a little strange. How could this man become so unconscious?
It looked like something was hooking him.
Chen Yile had an idea. Instead of trying to stop him, he might as well follow him to see what attracted him so much.
Thinking of this, Chen Yile jumped up and chased after him.
The two men came to the entrance of the abandoned mining area. The worker continued to move forward, and Chen Yile followed quietly behind.
The abandoned mining area was pitch black, with only a few dim old-fashioned mining lamps emitting faint light in the cold darkness.
The roads here are bumpy and uneven, and some of them even have big grooves on the road, as if they have been blown open.
The two walked for a while and suddenly heard some strange noises.
"Kaka, kakaka..."
Chen Yile slowed down and listened carefully.
The sound sounded like the friction of some metal products, sometimes clear and sometimes vague.
The workers in front seemed to be attracted by the sound and slowed down their pace.
Suddenly, there was a loud "crack" sound, and the road surface in front of the worker cracked!
I saw a black shadow leap out from the crack.
It was a human-shaped black shadow wearing ragged clothes covered with black mud, looking very dirty.
What's even more strange is that the figure is emitting a light purple light all over his body, like a ghost.
His face was completely invisible, only his two eyes were flashing red.
The man didn't say anything, but suddenly jumped and pounced on the worker next to him!
"what--"
The worker was caught off guard and thrown to the ground, letting out a scream.
Looking again, the man actually put his hand on the worker and began to absorb his energy.
"Who is this!"
Chen Yile didn't expect this man to be so cruel as to kill his co-worker.
I don’t know if these recent disappearances have anything to do with this person.
Chen Yile no longer hesitated and instantly launched a Nine Heavens Mysterious Thunder.
"boom--"
A huge golden lightning struck the mysterious man with a loud bang, and knocked the mysterious man away.
But what was strange was that there were no signs of burns on the mysterious man's body, and even his clothes were not torn.
He turned over and stood up steadily, looking at Chen Yile silently.
"Who are you!"
Chen Yile asked loudly.
The mysterious man sneered and suddenly jumped down from the crack where he had just come out, disappearing in an instant.
Seeing the mysterious man disappear, Chen Yile hurried to his co-worker.
I saw the worker lying on the ground, his face pale and looking very weak.
However, upon further inspection, it seemed that the worker had only had some of his energy sucked out and was not seriously injured.
He seemed to still have some consciousness. Seeing Chen Yile, he quickly asked, "Brother, this is..."
"Don't talk for now, I'll take you back."
Seeing that the situation was urgent, Chen Yile did not have time to explain to his co-worker and carried him back to the dormitory.
When the workers saw Chen Yile carrying someone back, they were curious and asked what was going on.
"Don't ask questions yet. Everyone, please help carry this brother to the bed."
Upon hearing this, all the workers came over to help and put the worker on his bed.
I saw the man lying on the bed with a pale face and sweat all over his forehead, as if he had a serious illness.
"Brother, what's wrong with you?"
Chen Yile came to his coworker and asked.
The worker looked confused and didn't seem to understand what was happening.
"My head is so dizzy. I was sleeping soundly when I suddenly became drowsy. I don't know why I wanted to go somewhere, and when I woke up I was like this."
After a while, footsteps were heard outside, and Manager Hu rushed to the dormitory with several security guards.
Manager Hu was also shocked when he saw his unconscious worker and quickly asked what happened.
Chen Yile told him that the worker had just suddenly gone out and he felt something was wrong, so he chased him and brought him back.
However, Chen Yile was cautious and did not mention the mysterious man.
"Hey, are you okay? Let's take you to the infirmary. You don't have to sleep in the dormitory tonight."
Manager Hu said worriedly, and he directed several security guards to lift the worker up.
"You guys go back to sleep, I'll take care of him. We still have a lot of work to do tomorrow, so don't stay up late."
Manager Hu asked everyone to continue sleeping and took the worker out of the dormitory.
As soon as Manager Hu left, the workers couldn't sleep anymore and started discussing with Chen Yile.
"Brother, what's going on? Tell us quickly."
Chen Yile told his fellow workers that he had just seen this worker walking out in a daze. He was walking farther and farther away, and Chen Yile was worried about him, so he had to chase after him.
Chen Yile followed him to the abandoned mining area and wanted to stop him, but the worker suddenly became extremely strong, broke free from him, and pushed him to the ground.
The two men discovered a mysterious man whose face could not be seen clearly. The man had strange moves and started to absorb the energy of his co-workers.
After hearing Chen Yile's vivid description, the workers trembled with fear as if they had watched a horror movie.
The workers asked one after another: "Is this mysterious man a human or a ghost?"
"I don't know, but I suspect the recent disappearances may be related to..."
Chen Yile replied.
He always felt that those disappearances might not be so mysterious after all, as if there was something he had been overlooking.
