At half past six in the afternoon, the staff at Erlang Temple finished work. I paid them to bring their tools and take me to the crack.

During the descent, Wu Yan and I felt the same fear, and my breathing became rapid and heavy.

After descending about sixty to seventy meters, I was terrified to find that the light from the flashlight was swallowed up.

"This can't be possible!" I trembled and muttered to myself.

It was an exceptionally dark space. Although it could swallow light, it couldn't be a black hole!

To confirm and calm myself down, I threw a stone towards that extremely dark area.

After a moment, I heard the sound of the stone landing.

I breathed a sigh of relief, gathered courage, and took another step down. I got closer and closer to that layer of darkness. I instinctively felt extreme fear of the unknown, but there seemed to be something beneath that darkness that aroused intense curiosity within me.

This desire eventually drove me to pass through that thick darkness without any rationality.

Then, I saw it.

A huge corpse with three eyes on its face.

It was inverted and inserted into the entire mountain. Its skull was covered by hard rocks, and the upright eye was at the same level as the ground. I stopped at a height of five to six meters above the ground, directly facing the pupil of its third eye.

Yes, its eyes were open. Although its flesh had decayed, leaving only numerous skeletons standing like load-bearing pillars in this cave, those three huge eyes were exactly the same as those of a living person.

I think I had completely lost my sanity. After fear came madness. Subconsciously, I took out my phone, wanting to capture and record this horrifying scene.

However, all the photos were overexposed, and the audio recordings were filled with electrical noise.

As if bewitched, I approached that eye. I raised my hand to touch it, but my palm passed through the eyeball like touching a cold water surface...

Then, my entire body passed through the eyeball and entered the interior of the eye.

Inside was an incredibly vast space, much larger than the cave where I should have been.

In mid-air, countless red and black structures resembling nerves and veins intertwined, forming a terrifying and disgusting pattern. They writhed like numerous tentacles.

After a certain period of time, one strange eye after another grew on those tentacle-like structures. In the center of the pattern, a mouth with gnawing teeth appeared, and viscous liquid drooled from its lips.

Extreme fear often temporarily paralyzes memories in a merciful way.

When I regained consciousness after fainting, I found myself lying in the cave filled with rocks. For a moment, I forgot why I was here until I saw the scattered flashlight, recorder, and an A7 notebook next to me.

I slowly got up, but my head was throbbing, so I had to rest against a rock. Fortunately, the pain gradually subsided after a few minutes.

I looked around, and the scene here was exactly as described by Qiu Shan and Tao Xiu Hong. I searched the cave but found no strange things.

However, the overexposed photos in my phone, the snowy videos, the electrical noise in the recorder, and the messy scribbles in the notebook...they all spoke of another fact.

But whenever I tried to recall, my brain felt like it was going to explode. Therefore, I had no choice but to leave the cave and return home.
