Chapter 9
At that moment, Qi Chen felt like he was trapped in an ice cellar, and his heart seemed to be clenched suddenly but he had always forgotten to let go.
"Good son..." He opened his mouth, but found that his throat was tense. He had obviously used a lot of effort, but he almost only had breath after speaking.
Xu Liang lowered his eyes and glanced at his pocket, then raised his eyes and stared at Qi Chen with a wrong look. His eyes were gray, like a layer of spider web, without any luster, full of death: "Did you see it? Then I don't have to continue pretending." His tone was very strange, the stagnant was as cold as an electronic sound, completely missing the familiar tone before.
If Qi Chen could have barely comforted himself before, Xu Liang's creepy smile might have been reflected by the light of the flashlight, but now that Xu Liang said such words, Qi Chen could no longer deceive himself.
He stood there stiffly, his hand holding the umbrella half-hung, and the handle of the umbrella was pressed against his fingertips, pressing his fingers so white that they were so cold that they were almost unconscious. While his other hand was holding the phone, the pale flashlight cast from the back of the phone, illuminating a round spot on the ground.
He stood inside the light spot, and Xu Liang happened to stand outside the light spot, light and dark, as if standing at both ends of yin and yang.
After Xu Liang said "I don't plan to install it anymore", a smell suddenly emanated from his body, which was a bit like the tide smell of the moment when the wooden box that had been vacant for many years was opened, mixed with a little rust smell, but it was not strong.
The smell was not that bad, but Qi Chen had some reason to have an unreasonable disgust and disgust towards this smell, as if the person who was touched with this smell would feel inexplicable irritability after a glance. This disgust came as suddenly as this smell, but it was very surging, and it simply overwhelmed the fear he should have.
It was this unreasonable feeling of disgust that made his almost stagnant thinking re-movable and his hands and feet became conscious again. So when he watched Xu Liang suddenly raised his hand and stretched his neck, Qi Chen suddenly turned his head and hid in time.
He took a step to the side and swung the umbrella that was stretched out in his hand, hoping that this very unsolid shield could at least block Xu Liang a little.
As a result, with a "puff" sound, Xu Liang, who was pressed behind the umbrella, directly pierced the surface of the umbrella with both hands. His ten fingers, which were arched in a claw, came to Qi Chen's eyes in an instant, and the fingertips were no longer like normal people. His nails were bent and sharp, radiating cold light like eagle claws. Even if you just need to move one inch forward, you can dig out Qi Chen's eyes.
Qi Chen twitched his anger and raised his head, barely avoided the sharp claws, then pushed the pierced umbrella forward with force, turned around and ran away.
He originally wanted to run back to the side of the road and get into the car, but the two of them turned around just now, and the way back was blocked by Xu Liang. At this time, he couldn't care about it, so he had to continue running along this road.
There were completely bald tall trees on both sides, and there was no hidden spot. He could only take out the fastest speed in his life and head straight to the farmhouse restaurant with inferior neon lights hanging on the small earthbowl in front. No matter what, it was almost everyone's instinct to run to a crowded place when he was afraid.
The ice slag and snow mud on the ground was the biggest obstacle at this time. He could slip on his feet if he accidentally did, but he did not dare to slow down at all.
He didn't know whether Xu Liang had caught up with him or how far he was. Because there was a dead silence behind him, he could only hear the "cracking" sound of him stepping on the snow water and ice slag on the whole road, and he didn't even bother to look back.
The scenery on both sides of Yu Guangzhong quickly retreated, and the small grave-like slope came to my eyes in an instant. The gray neon lights were lit and black, hanging in front of the courtyard of the two-story small building.
Qi Chen didn't care about his image and was too lazy to find the way to the dirt slope. He stepped on the gravel and pulled a few dead tree roots out of the ground, turning over and climbing up the dirt slope.
The courtyard gate of the farmhouse is closed, with red paper couplets pasted beside the door, and a lantern covered with red paper on each eaves, but the light inside is probably broken, half-light and the color it illuminates is very dark and old.
Qi Chen suddenly stopped in front of the door, and then he was able to take a breath. He glanced back quickly, but he didn't see Xu Liang at all.
He was stunned for a moment, and then he couldn't care about so much. He thought about entering the house first, and the sense of security in places with a large population would be higher. At worst, he would come out and go back to the side of the road when others finished eating and left.
There was a large copper ring on the courtyard gate of this farmhouse, but Qi Chen didn't care about knocking on the door or not at this time. He directly reached out and pushed the courtyard gate open. After stepping in, he immediately slammed the courtyard gate and hurriedly inserted the door bolt.
The dark red painted door on the first floor of the small building is not closed, leaving a crack.
At this time, the light coming out of the crack in the door was like a biological father and mother for Qi Chen.
He walked outside the red painted door in two steps. He raised his hand and was about to push the door, but he felt like a bucket of ice water was poured on his head, and he was frozen there -
Because he suddenly realized that there was no voice in this huge building.
Before, Qi Chen was eager to escape. Except for his heartbeat like a drum and extremely heavy breathing, he spent all his attention listening carefully to the movement behind him, and he didn't care about anything else. Now he stood in front of the door and pushed the door to find a temporary refuge. Finally, he felt a little relieved, so he had the energy to pay attention to other issues. However, with this attention, his heart was carried to the tip of the needle again.
Just as his head was buzzing and was once again blank, the door of the hall, which had originally had cracks, was opened from the inside.
Two minutes ago, Xu Liang, who was pushed by him with an umbrella, was holding the door, standing under the dim light, and once again showed a stiff and dead smile at him.
How come you have it! Finished! No! Finished!
At that moment, a strange feeling of irritability and anger surged in Qi Chen's tightening heart. He actually had the urge to tear off the other party's face that was not smiling. He always felt that this smile was inconsistent with Xu Liang's originally gentle appearance. However, the remaining reason suppressed his urge to die.
He was stunned for a moment, and then planned to turn around and run away, but he heard Xu Liang's tone stiff and without any ups and downs, "I have led him here, why are you still procrastinating?"
Qi Chen was shocked. He was clearly talking to another person!
It would be fine if one person was alone. If two such groups came to play with him, he would really not be able to escape if he was a little late.
Thinking of this, he turned his feet and was about to rush out, but he felt that he was hit hard by a slaughter of the neck by some unknown person who was not good at dealing with. His eyes turned black and his legs became weak. Before he could feel the pain, he fainted.
...
The deep darkness in front of me had not yet dissipated, but the dull pain in the back of my neck had gradually become clear. After a while, it caused the mind to buzz and feel nauseous in my stomach, making people wonder if it was even the bones were wrong.
Qi Chen gradually regained consciousness in this unignorable pain. For a moment, he couldn't react to what was going on. Just as he was about to open his eyes, he heard a male voice with a stiff and almost no tone coming from a distance: "I don't have much time, let's take a step first."
As soon as the sound came to his ears, the series of strange things that had happened before that hit Qi Chen's worldview finally came to his mind. So he only moved his eyelids twice, then pressed his plan to open his eyes back, and continued to pretend to be dizzy, wanting to hear what else was going on.
As soon as the male voice finished speaking, a gust of wind suddenly erupted. I don’t know whether it was the wooden door or the wooden window, and then closed it with a "splash". Then, something fell to the ground and made a muffled sound.
After this, there was no new movement. Qi Chen could only hear some "beeping" sounds, and the "gurgling" sounds similar to the "gurgling" sounds when stewing things in a casserole. It seemed that someone was burning firewood and cooking a pot of something.
He waited for a long time, and finally couldn't help but move his eyelids. He half opened his eyes, trying to see what the person who stayed behind was doing.
I don’t know how long he had been dizzy. He just felt that when he opened his eyes, his vision was very blurred. He couldn’t see the surrounding scene clearly. He only saw a vague flashing not far away, which made his eyes a little sore, and a layer of water vapor was covered.
He blinked several times, and the scene in front of him became clearer, but at this clarity, he found that the eyes of a person who was one meter away from him were opposite!
As soon as I opened my eyes, I found that a person was looking at you with expressionless eyes, meaning that the yin energy was looking at you with no movement. No one would be shocked, let alone in this situation.
Qi Chen felt that his bile was almost shocked.
He looked at the other person in surprise.
It was a very thin old lady, with a hunched back and a very old look. Her pale hair was combed on her head, but she was probably not combed carefully enough, and several strands were leaking, scattered in a mess in her ears. Her face was covered with a firelight on her back, and she couldn't see her appearance clearly. Only the eyes with the whites of her eyes were obviously larger than the black ones, and those eyes were now looking at Qi Chen without turning around.
The moment Qi Chen saw these eyes, he felt extremely familiar, and always felt that he had seen them somewhere. After two seconds, he suddenly remembered that these were the eyes that appeared in the dark corner behind Sister Qin in the screenshot attached to the news report.
So what's going on?! Stealing a bracelet made so many messes!
Suspicion and irritability were poured down, which made Qi Chen unable to help but want to have an attack.
He thought to himself that if an adult could not escape an old lady, he could find a rope to hang it at the door of the dormitory to worship him!
Once he settled down, he raised his head and wanted to sit up, but at this moment, he saw something he hadn't noticed just now -
The old lady sitting there with her sleeves cage had neither shadow nor feet...
Qi Chen: "..." At this time, I pretended that I hadn't moved and was still dizzy. I wonder if it was OK...
But the next second, he understood... This obviously doesn't work!
Because before he could do anything, the old lady with her sleeves raised her hand and raised the pot cooked on the firewood not far away. A broken bowl was used on a table next to her, "swoosh" hanging in the air a hundred years ago, and pierced it into the pot, scooped half a bowl of unknown things, and then fell into the old lady's hand.
The old lady who seemed to be trembling when she walked, took the bowl and suddenly flashed to Qi Chen, raised her hand and pinched Qi Chen's chin and wanted to fill the things in the bowl.
It was not until then that Qi Chen realized that he had no idea what he used to, and he had no strength at all. Except for his head, he could not move anywhere, and he could not escape this broken old lady!
Qi Chen shook his head, trying to get out of the things in the bowl.
He thought that after so long, the thing was boiled into his mouth or was struggling to pour on his face, and the rows of bubbles were burned. Unexpectedly, he found that the thing was so cold that it was so cold that it was so cold that it was so cold that it was so cold that it got goosebumps.
Most of the bowl of water cooked from unknown things was basically poured on his mouth and collar, but it inevitably choked into his mouth a little.
Suddenly, a strong and bitter smell spread throughout the mouth, almost causing Qi Chen to vomit, but the old lady covered her mouth and forced her to swallow it a little.
For a moment, the wind was everywhere, and ghosts cried and wolves howled. Qi Chen didn't know if the things he swallowed had hallucinations or that was the case. He saw many miserable people rushing in to the room. A woman with long and dry hair was lying on the ceiling, her head turned around, and she showed a miserable smile at Qi Chen with a blue and white face. The corners of her mouth suddenly cracked to the root of her ears, revealing a row of whale shark-like sharp teeth.
Qi Chen: "..." Can anyone hear me when the birds don't poop?
