But we ran into another problem. It was pitch dark inside the cave. It is much darker inside than outside. How to enter there? A problem arose with this.
Mr. Haldar said, "Well, it's very dark inside. So how do we get in?"
"That's it," said the colonel. "It's not right to go in without a light now. There might be poisonous snakes inside the cave."
I said, "How about doing something. We can light a torch."
"You are right. It must be done," said the colonel.
Nagpa was silent for so long. He was listening to us like a silent spectator. It seems that this time he could no longer remain silent. His patience broke.
Nagpa said, "But how to light a torch with fire? You can't light a fire here by throwing stones at the stones. Because the fire will make a loud noise. This will cause the ghost to notice. This may cause great danger to us."
Mr. Haldar said, "There is nothing to worry about. I see what can be done?"
Saying this, Mr. Haldar put his right hand into the right pocket of his pant. After searching for a while, he took out his hand. I saw his hands were empty. The left hand immediately went into the left pocket. This time I saw a faint smile on his face.
He took out a lighter from his pocket. Then a stick was collected. But there is one more problem. Something like cloth should be attached to the head of the stick.
Mr.Colonel and Mr. Haldar took out handkerchiefs from their pockets. He asked me to take it out.
These three handkerchiefs were tied on the head of a stick and set on fire.
A nice torch is made. The way inside the cave can be seen by the light of the torch.
The colonel took the torch in his hand and moved forward.
And said quietly, "None of you will make a sound."
He is leading the torch and we are following him along the line of light.
At first I thought it would be a small temple. Of course, it was understood from the outside. Because here, except for a mound-like place, all the places are buried under the ground.
We went some way.
Just as it didn't look like a temple from the outside, it didn't look like a temple from the inside either.
Suddenly we were stunned by a loud noise. What a strange and strong voice. Not one, but many sounds are coming to our ears. The word is gradually coming towards us.
A drop of sweat fell from my forehead to the ground despite the bitter cold. I was very scared. I looked back to see what the others were doing. I see that Nagpa and Mr. Haldar are sweating like me. The colonel is in front of me. So I did not understand what was happening to him.
When the sound came very close, I put both hands on both ears to avoid the sound. The sound is slightly less audible. Of course I wanted to close my eyes in fear. But I didn't do it. To see for ourselves what will happen to us.
We stood still at that place. Suddenly a flock of bats flew over our heads. After they left, the loud noise was no longer heard.
"Those words are bats," said the colonel.
I thought what or what. Of course, I was also very scared.
We started walking again. After reaching a place, a turn fell in front of us. Now the question is which way we go?
I said to the Colonel, "Colonel, what shall we do now? Which way shall we go?"
That's what I'm thinking. We all have to go together. Can't be separated. If I could go, I would have gone two by two.
Mr. Haldar said, "Now is not the time to think. Let's go by one of the roads first."
We entered the road that went to my left as Mr.Haldar said.
I walked a little way.
I didn't see anything mysterious on the way.
After going a little way, I see a wall in front of me. That is, there is no way forward from here.
From there we went back to the second road. On this way I saw some big stones lying around.
It is clear that this temple is very big. The light of the torch began to fade.
I came to a room while walking. The door to enter this room is already broken in one corner here. A huge iron door. Only a part of the door has been destroyed due to rust and some iron remains.
From outside the room, I saw that the light was on in that room.
The colonel said, "Mr.Haldar, now put out the torch in your hand. There is light inside. There is no need for torch now."
Mr. Haldar extinguished the torch in his hand. Thick black smoke is coming out of the torch. Throwing the torch aside made a noise.
"And yes, does everyone remember what I said outside the cave?" Colonel said.
I said yes. And Mr. Nagpa and Mr. Haldar shook their heads and said that they also remember that.
The Colonel entered the room first. Then I But I don't want to go inside because of fear. However, I stepped forward to enter. As soon as I stepped, a sudden fear hit my chest. Legs began to tremble. I finally got inside.
Nagpa and Mr. Haldar also entered behind me.
