Chapter 196 Jinjiang (1)
Because she still lost the argument with Song Ci at night, Lu Xingxing was so angry that she even took a shower.
But there was nothing he could do - he said there were no impurities in the river, but in the end he had to watch the chrysanthemum petals floating over, which was a slap in his face.
If he continued to quarrel, it would only make him look more embarrassed.
Lu Xingxing understood the truth, but he just couldn't swallow it.
The sound of running water in the bathroom echoed. For a moment, the only sound in Lu Xingxing's ears was the sound of running water. The pure and regular white noise made him relax a little bit. He lay limp under the shower, and comfortably let his body, which had been blown like a popsicle by the cold wind, be warmed by the hot water again.
But just like that, when Lu Xingxing tried to think about what happened before, he suddenly felt a little confused.
What was I thinking about just now?
The wind blew the window, which was not closed tightly to begin with, a little open. The cold wind slipped in through the gap, making Lu Xingxing shiver. His mind suddenly became clear for a moment.
He smelled something strange.
It was damp and cold, like a rotting corpse that had been trapped under the water for a long time. The wind brought the smell of rotten meat and water vapor over. Lu Xingxing caught the weirdness of that moment.
He didn't care that he was taking a shower and quickly walked to the window, trying to figure out where the smell came from.
Because of his panic, he almost fell on the slippery ground several times and fell directly on the window.
When Lu Xingxing stood firm and looked up, he was suddenly met with a pair of red eyes.
Caught off guard, Lu Xingxing was so frightened that he almost vomited his heart and fell into the cold river.
The bathroom is on the first floor and the window faces the river.
Through the crack in the window, Lu Xingxing saw the owner of the pair of red eyes standing quietly in the middle of the river, looking up at the small building.
It was a human corpse.
Even though his entire body had been swollen like a 400-pound fat man, his face looked like a wall that had been soaked in water and then peeled off, with the skin peeling off piece by piece, and his original appearance could not be seen.
However, it can be vaguely seen from its limbs and shape that it was once a human.
The next moment after its eyes met Lu Xingxing's, the thing seemed to sense Lu Xingxing's fear of it. It raised its feet stiffly and slowly, and slowly walked out of the river and towards the small building.
The cold wind blowing in from the window made Lu Xingxing's teeth chatter. Goose bumps appeared on his naked back and arms. The skin that was originally warmed by the hot water became cold and hard again, and purple blood vessels emerged under the skin.
Lu Xingxing wanted to do something, and his instinct told him that he had to protect everyone.
When he saw such a weird and disgusting corpse, his first reaction was that it was a zombie, and then he realized that he should stop the thing from moving into the building.
At the very least, he should go and tell Yan Shixun.
However, he felt like he had turned into an ice sculpture. He was standing behind the window and could do nothing but watch the thing come ashore.
Water flowed down the creature's body, leaving a long streak on the river bank.
Then, it stiffly raised its hands and grabbed the wooden railing, like a broken toy, raised its thighs above its head, stepped over the railing clumsily and strangely, and appeared outside the bathroom window.
Through the window, Lu Xingxing could almost see every texture of the thing's skin under the dim light.
The skin texture that a normal person would have had had long been blurred and disappeared by the soaking. The skin that should have been tight became loose and separated from the muscles underneath, losing its elasticity like tofu. It was unknown how long the person had been dead.
Being soaked in water for a long time also causes the skin to rot and become highly swollen, making people feel that the skin will sink if pressed.
At such a close distance, Lu Xingxing could clearly see the thing's eyes, which were filled with malice and death. They were red like an evil ghost crawling out of hell, ready to devour anyone.
He wanted to reach out to stop the thing, but his hands and feet were out of control. He could only watch as the thing stretched out its swollen and pale arms and pushed open the bathroom window.
"Squeak...Gah——"
Along with the cold wind came that thing.
It clumsily and slowly stepped over the window, then passed by Lu Xingxing and walked inside.
Lu Xingxing was almost nauseated by the stench in the bathroom. The stale and corrupt smell mixed with the stuffy air in the supermarket went straight to his head.
But it was precisely because of this stimulation that he briefly regained control of his body. He immediately turned around and ran towards the thing, subconsciously reaching into his arms to take his talisman.
But Lu Xingxing found nothing.
All the tentacles could feel was skin that had been hardened by the cold wind, with goose bumps all over the skin under the fingers.
Only then did he remember - yes, he was taking a shower and of course he wouldn't bring those things with him.
And in the few seconds that Lu Xingxing was distracted, the thing had already pushed open the bathroom door and walked into the small building.
With a "bang", the bathroom door slammed shut and Lu Xingxing only fell on the door panel.
He trembled and tried to unlock the door with his stiff fingers, but his fingers were almost numb due to the cold and did not obey his brain at all.
Lu Xingxing was so anxious that he kept banging his body against the door, wanting to quickly get out and chase that thing.
But the more anxious you are, the more mistakes you make. Opening the door, which seems so simple on a normal day, is now extremely difficult.
It was Zhao Zhen who heard the noise from the bathroom and came over curiously: "Lu Xingxing, are you done with your shower? Come out when you're done, and don't play with the door."
Zhao Zhen felt that he had gradually gotten used to his identity as a kindergarten teacher. Instead of getting angry at older children like Lu Xingxing, he was full of patience and helplessness. He even tried to teach Lu Xingxing not to play with water.
Zhao Zhen, who was waiting on the sofa in the living room, suddenly felt as if there was a smell floating past his nose when he walked towards the bathroom. It was like the smell of rotten fish and shrimp, with a little moisture.
Zhao Zhen felt puzzled and wondered why there was such a smell in the small building.
He didn't take it seriously at first.
but……
"Tick-Tock"
The sound of water drops falling on the floor could be heard.
Zhao Zhen subconsciously looked in the direction of the sound, but saw a line of water stain on the floor that had appeared at his feet without him noticing.
It was as if... someone was sitting next to me and walking past me.
However, the living room was empty, without a single person in sight.
Zhao Zhen kept his body half-twisted and stood there looking back fixedly. His suspicious eyes swept across the entire living room. It took him a long time to retract his gaze and walk back to the bathroom.
The thin door of the bathroom was still being knocked "bang bang bang!" from the inside.
Zhao Zhen was helpless: "You didn't lock yourself in, did you?"
He spread his hands and said, "I can't open the door from the outside. Xingxing, think of a way yourself. Can you open the lock? Turn it clockwise. Come on, do as I say..."
Although Zhao Zhen couldn't enter the bathroom to help Lu Xingxing open the door, his calm voice gradually calmed Lu Xingxing's impatience.
He slapped his face hard, then tried to calm himself down and concentrate on dealing with the door lock.
This time it opened quickly.
When he heard the door open, Zhao Zhen thought he would see a neatly dressed Lu Xingxing.
As a result, as soon as the door opened a crack, Zhao Zhen caught a glimpse of the skin shining in the dim light.
Zhao Zhen: “!!!”
Xingxing, you naughty kid! Why aren't you wearing any clothes?! I'm still live streaming!
After realizing it, Zhao Zhen reacted quickly. He immediately turned his back to Lu Xingxing and covered the split-screen lens on his shoulder with his hand.
Audience: [???]
Because Zhao Zhen moved too quickly, they couldn't see anything clearly and their cameras were immediately covered.
Even those with sharp eyes could only vaguely see a bunch of colorful blocks.
"Xingxing!" Zhao Zhen was angry and annoyed.
Lu Xingxing looked at Zhao Zhen in confusion, as he was lying with his back to the truth and his ears were red. He didn't know what had happened.
However, although he was curious about what happened to Zhao Zhen, he had more important things to do.
——Just when the bathroom door was finally opened, Lu Xingxing saw the figure of that thing flash past the living room.
Lu Xingxing didn't care about Zhao Zhen and rushed out immediately, wanting to follow that thing to see what it was going to do.
Although Lu Xingxing didn't know what it was, he instinctively sensed the deathly aura from that thing and knew that it was definitely not a good thing. He couldn't let it enter the small building as it might hurt other people!
Lu Xingxing didn't even put on slippers. She rushed past Zhao Zhen and ran straight to the place where he saw the thing for the last time.
Zhao Zhen originally thought that if he turned his back, Lu Xingxing would have time to put on his clothes.
Unexpectedly, this guy just ran away naked!
When Zhao Zhen saw Lu Xingxing's wet skin shining under the light, he was so shocked that his mouth opened wide, and he was completely stunned for a moment.
But he reacted quickly, and seeing Lu Xingxing about to rush into the living room, he quickly ran after her: "Lu Xingxing, stop right there! Don't run any further!"
The live broadcast main screen is in front!
Zhao Zhen felt both relieved and nervous, and for a moment he even wanted to swear.
Fortunately, he covered the split screen immediately.
But unfortunately, the main screen was still on, and if he didn't have time to catch Lu Xingxing, I'm afraid that all the audience in front of the main screen would be able to see Lu Xingxing's bold posture of running naked.
At that moment, Zhao Zhen had already come up with many rumors against Lu Xingxing in his mind, and tens of millions of people had witnessed...
He could already see the bleak future.
Zhao Zhen felt a darkness before his eyes, and then he immediately quickened his pace and ran forward desperately, not caring if his legs hit the cabinet, and even his fingertips were stretched forward with all his strength.
Finally, before Lu Xingxing ran into the main screen's shooting range, Zhao Zhen grabbed Lu Xingxing's arm and pulled him back.
He raised one hand to turn off his split screen, and with the other hand he pulled off his coat, and wrapped Lu Xingxing in anxiety and anger.
"Are you crazy?"
Zhao Zhen gnashed his teeth and said, "If you walk one meter forward, you will be on the main screen. Do you want tens of millions of viewers to see you like this at the same time?"
Lu Xingxing didn't react for a moment, just staring blankly at the empty living room in front of him.
He was clearly running after that thing, but the strange thing was that in the blink of an eye, that thing disappeared?
But there was no place to hide anything, whether it was the low tables or cabinets around.
Where could that thing be hidden?
Lu Xingxing felt the cold spreading up from the soles of his feet, freezing his heart.
What's scarier than seeing a bug?
—You know the bug is here, but you can no longer see it.
No one knows where it is hiding.
It could be in a large wardrobe, under the bed, or behind every door of a low cabinet... In every ignored gap, red eyes silently stare at the people outside, scanning the living flesh and blood of strangers with cold eyes.
As soon as darkness completely envelopes the room, it will leave its hiding place and attack strangers.
Lu Xingxing was shaking all over, he had only one thought in his mind – to find Yan Shixun, he must tell Yan Shixun!
But just the movement of Zhao Zhen holding him, his frozen wrist was stimulated by the warmth of Zhao Zhen's palm, and he came back to his senses for a moment. His originally scattered pupils refocused, and then he saw Zhao Zhen's angry face.
Lu Xingxing: “?”
But with this interruption, Lu Xingxing actually felt that the memory that was so clear just now was gradually disappearing again.
He hurriedly grabbed Zhao Zhen's sleeve and spoke very quickly, trying to tell Zhao Zhen everything in his mind: "Don't go to the bathroom! There's, there's..."
What's that?
It's like melting snow in spring. Once the sun comes out, the ice and snow on the branches suddenly melt into water, then evaporate under the sunlight and disappear completely.
Lu Xingxing had only said half of his words when he felt that the things that had been so clear in his mind had disappeared just like that.
He grabbed Zhao Zhen's sleeve and stood there, looking as confused as a child who couldn't find his home.
When Zhao Zhen saw Lu Xingxing's expression, he thought something really happened, so he put on a serious face and prepared to listen to Lu Xingxing carefully.
As a result, Lu Xingxing only said half of the sentence and did not continue. Instead, he looked absent-minded.
Zhao Zhen: “……?”
He waited patiently for a long time, but Lu Xingxing didn't say anything. He was so angry that he laughed.
"Xingxing, are you teasing me?"
Zhao Zhen smiled with a fake smile, raised his hand and fiercely helped Lu Xingxing to pull her coat together: "You are not wearing clothes or shoes, what are you doing? If you want to make a joke, put on your clothes first, or do you want to act more realistically, huh?"
After hearing what Zhao Zhen said, Lu Xingxing lowered his head and found out——
"What the hell?! Where are my clothes!"
Lu Xingxing quickly wrapped his clothes tightly around him, hiding himself in Zhao Zhen's coat, and looked at Zhao Zhen warily: "Pervert!"
Like a cat that has fallen into water and its fur stands on end.
Zhao Zhen: “…”
He sighed helplessly and felt veins popping out on his forehead.
At this time, the door next to it was opened.
"What are you doing? Why are you shouting at the door of my room?"
Yan Shixun frowned and looked outside with an unhappy look.
Then his eyes met those of Lu Xingxing, who had bare legs.
Yan Shixun: “…………?”
He silently scanned Lu Xingxing from head to toe with his eyes, and the corners of his mouth twitched: "Do you still have this hobby?"
"I'm not! I didn't! Don't talk nonsense!"
Lu Xingxing objected fiercely out of reflex.
He was about to say something when he saw a tall figure appear behind Yan Shixun, staring at him with narrow eyes without warmth.
Lu Xingxing immediately became timid and quietly squeezed himself behind Zhao Zhen.
Ye Li looked disgusted and raised his hand to block Yan Shixun's eyes: "Don't look at it, there is dirt inside, it's not good for your eyes."
Lu Xingxing: !!! Are you talking about me? I’m not, I… QAQ Forget it, I can’t beat him.
Yan Shixun raised his hand and took Ye Li's hand away. Although he was interrupted by Lu Xingxing while questioning Ye Li, he was very unhappy.
But seeing Lu Xingxing's pitiful appearance, and his unruly handsome face with a bit of exploited and pitiful look when he lowered his eyebrows, Yan Shixun was amused for a moment.
The corners of his lips twitched before he flattened his smile. He tilted his chin towards Lu Xingxing and asked, "What's the matter with this outfit?"
When asked this, a flash of light suddenly flashed through Lu Xingxing's mind.
"Brother Yan, don't go to the bathroom! There's something in the bathroom!"
Lu Xingxing said anxiously: "Believe me!"
Yan Shixun looked at Lu Xingxing in confusion, then looked at Zhao Zhen, asking him what was going on with his eyes.
"I don't know either."
Zhao Zhen sighed helplessly: "When I heard the sound, Xingxing insisted on running out and said that the bathroom was dangerous."
"Lu Xingxing, what's in the bathroom?"
Yan Shixun knew Lu Xingxing and knew that he was definitely not a careful person.
If even Lu Xingxing feels something is wrong...
But Lu Xingxing looked back blankly: "I forgot."
He looked like a little kid who had finally found his parents, and he felt a little aggrieved: "I did remember it, but I forgot it for some unknown reason."
As soon as these words came out, even someone as carefree as Lu Xingxing felt that something was wrong.
Why does it seem like I'm being unreasonable? Saying I have something to do and then saying I forgot, even an elementary school student wouldn't make such an excuse.
It’s over. I guess Yan Shixun won’t believe him anymore.
Lu Xingxing sighed in his heart.
Forgot... just like myself.
Yan Shixun's eyes darkened. He didn't think as Lu Xingxing thought, but took it seriously.
"In that case, don't use the bathroom for now."
Yan Shixun frowned and said to Zhao Zhen: "We will leave tomorrow morning anyway, so it won't take a little while longer. The others can just stay here for now."
Although Zhao Zhen felt strange, he agreed immediately because of his trust in Yan Shixun.
Lu Xingxing also couldn't stand the cold. After telling Yan Shixun about everything, she felt like a burden had been lifted. She happily ran to her room and prepared to get dressed.
Although he forgot what had just happened in the bathroom, there was one thing he remembered clearly - helpless despair.
I couldn’t carry anything to protect myself when I took a shower. That helpless feeling of losing all protection... Lu Xingxing hated that feeling.
Zhao Zhen went upstairs and told the staff upstairs and other people who had not used the bathroom yet what Yan Shixun said.
However, after knocking on the door of a staff room, Zhao Zhen, who had been looking relaxed, suddenly met a pair of red eyes.
He was so frightened that his heart jumped and he took a few steps back.
Then I saw clearly that it was actually a staff member.
However, the man was breathing heavily and scratching himself, looking like he was in great pain.
After hearing what Zhao Zhen said, the man slammed the door again with a "bang".
If Zhao Zhen hadn't stepped back quickly, he would have almost been hit on the nose.
He felt a little strange. Was the staff too tired from work during the day? Why were they so irritable? Obviously, the people in the production team were all good-tempered.
Thinking of this, Zhao Zhen walked downstairs with doubts.
But after taking two steps, he suddenly smelled blood, and his mind recalled the scene he saw inside the door when the man opened it.
It seemed that someone was lying on the bed and someone was lying on the chair.
The room was dimly lit, so Zhao Zhen didn't see the situation of those people at first glance. But now he thought about it slowly and found something wrong.
Why are those people not moving?
And even though it’s dark now, it’s actually still early and the filming hasn’t ended yet. Why would the staff go to bed first?
Thinking of this, Zhao Zhen, who was about to go downstairs, stepped back and knocked on the door again.
The staff member who opened the door again seemed even more irritable than before, as if he had rabies. His eyes were so red that blood was almost dripping out, and a "Huhu-Huhu!" sound came from his throat. His hands kept scratching himself, and his entire neck that was exposed was scratched with blood.
The most serious injury was to his neck.
Right at that position in the esophagus, the bright red bloodstain looked like a flower bud about to bloom.
Even Zhao Zhen didn't know if he was dazzled.
He actually felt that the flower bud seemed to shake, as if it had life.
But when I looked more closely, it was no longer moving.
Zhao Zhen was puzzled for a moment, and felt a sense of strangeness.
"What?"
The staff member's voice was rough and hoarse, as if his vocal cords had not been used for hundreds of years, with a harsh feeling like sandpaper grinding on stone, and he looked impatient: "If you have nothing else to do, get out."
Having said that, the staff was about to close the door again.
Zhao Zhen was briefly shocked by the staff's attitude, but he quickly realized that the staff's current state was definitely not normal - no matter how bad a person's temper is, he would not say such things in front of his colleagues.
He grabbed the door to prevent the other party from closing it, and squeezed into the room with a tough attitude: "Let me see the other people in the room."
If there is something wrong with this person, then it is likely that other people in the room are in danger.
The staff member stared at Zhao Zhen coldly with his bright red eyes, then he grinned and put down his hands that had been scratching his skin.
"Thirsty, I'm very thirsty."
He asked in a hoarse voice, "Do you have any water?"
As he spoke, his eyes fell on Zhao Zhen, as if he had finally found a source of water. He laughed and said, "Blood water will work too."
Zhao Zhen was shocked and realized that this person was not having mental problems, but was suffering from evil spirits!
He immediately retracted his foot that was about to step into the room, turned around and ran downstairs: "Brother Yan!"
However, the staff member moved at a speed beyond what humans could achieve and rushed directly to Zhao Zhen's back with agility.
His sharpened nails were getting closer and closer to Zhao Zhen's back, and were about to touch...
"Bang!"
The light bulb suddenly flickered, and then there was a loud bang.
The entire building was plunged into darkness.
…
After watching Lu Xingxing leave, Yan Shixun closed the door again and turned to face Ye Li.
Ye Li's eyes were full of smiles: "I was interrupted."
Yan Shixun thought of the scene just now and felt that Lu Xingxing came at a really bad time. His face turned dark, revealing his dissatisfaction clearly.
Because Ye Li had been in a bad mood since he entered the mountains, after Yan Shixun realized that there was something wrong with Changshou Village, he asked Ye Li if he knew anything.
Yan Shixun had already prepared himself for the possibility that Ye Li would not tell him. After all, ghosts and gods are different from humans, not to mention that Ye Li might be the only ghost god left. Wanting to get an accurate answer from a ghost god is no different from trying to glimpse the secrets of heaven.
But just when Yan Shixun was planning in his mind how to get Ye Li to speak, or to go to the village to explore again, Ye Li looked at Yan Shixun for a moment and sighed.
Ghosts and gods sighed, and heaven and earth were silent.
At that moment, the entire valley seemed to be silent, all the sounds of insects and birds disappeared, and the sound of the wind stopped.
Ye Li slightly raised his crow-feather eyelashes, there was no trace of smile in his eyes, only a cold and murderous look.
“I gave the South Side a chance.”
Ye Li's deep voice still carried the gentleness and softness that he only had when he was with Yan Shixun, but when he talked about the past, there was not even a trace of warmth.
"Shi Xun, even if you are a ghost or a god, you haven't lost hope in the human world from the beginning."
Ye Li looked at Yan Shixun steadily and said word by word: "I once walked in the human world, trying to find a reason to continue supporting the human world, but the human world showed me only bloodshed time and time again."
“I came to the southern region more than a decade ago.”
Li Chengyun traveled all over the country throughout his life, taking Yan Shixun with him across the country.
Yeli did the same thing.
The god walked down from the high altar, wearing a coarse linen robe and a bamboo hat on his head, looking like an ordinary human being. He walked through the suffering and laughter of the human world, watching the world with cold eyes, trying to find a reason to continue supporting the cycle of heaven and earth.
But all he saw was sin and greed.
Every time the gods extended their hands, they only grasped a handful of resentment for the loss of innocent lives.
The god in charge of Fengdu was angry.
That year was called the "Ghost Year" by Taoists.
Wherever the gods are, all the souls are taken to Fengdu for trial. The innocent will be resurrected, and the guilty will die.
So that year, people were dying in many villages, and people were in panic, but they couldn't find the reason.
The old Nan granny in the village stood up, pointed at the villagers with a sneer and said: "You killed those girls in the past, killed passers-by as sacrifices, and did those evil things. Now the retribution has finally come. The gods have opened their eyes!"
The villagers were shocked, regretted and cried and begged for forgiveness.
However, the god who was standing in the shadow under the tree at that time witnessed the whole process and saw through the deepest sins hidden in every soul.
Through the gaps between the straw hats, Ye Li saw the regretful faces of those people and the way they almost fainted from crying, but he remained unmoved.
He knew very well that those people did not regret doing evil, but regretted why they were discovered.
That year, many people died in the southern region.
But Ye Li turned around and left with deep disappointment.
It was also after that time that Ye Li looked up at the clear sky, thinking about the souls that were almost swallowed by the black mist of sin, and suddenly felt so ridiculous in his heart.
The world that he once wanted to protect, the world that he once wanted to protect even if it meant gritting his teeth and standing firm until the last moment on the battlefield, has changed.
And the human world...
There is no salvation in the world.
The god turned around and returned to the high altar, looking down at the wailing souls with cold eyes, but he was no longer moved. He just remained silent like a sculpture, no longer responding, no longer paying attention.
The central gate of Fengdu could never be opened.
The only God left after the Great Dao collapsed was unwilling to save the world.
Ye Li blinked slowly, breaking away from the memories of the past, and said in a deep voice: "They are not worth saving. Even Fengdu will not have a place for them. They will only wander until they are reduced to ashes."
"Corpses sank into the river, blood floated on the surface. The southern part of the country was hell a dozen years ago."
Ye Li sneered, with a cold mockery: "How dare you come to me to beg for mercy?"
Yan Shixun didn't expect Ye Li to respond to him, and he didn't expect him to give such an answer.
He was silent for a moment before asking, "What happened back then?"
Although Ye Li said that it happened before she met him, and now Ye Li's mentality has changed, so there is no need to bring up the old things, but Yan Shixun still insisted.
In Yan Shixun's opinion, since it happened more than ten years ago, it must have happened before she met him.
But Ye Li knew that what he meant was that it was before he met Xiaoyan Shixun at the market.
The disheartened god closed his eyes and sat at the edge of the market in a bloodstained armor, trying to give himself one last reason to give up.
Unexpectedly, in the midst of the deepest disappointment, God encountered his treasure.
A candy from the human world.
Ye Li's gaze towards Yan Shixun became soft, no longer as cold as before.
It's like sugar slowly melting under high temperature, and the sweet smell is engraved in the memory.
Under Yan Shixun's gaze, Ye Li smiled and spoke, telling the past without any intention of hiding anything.
Although in his opinion, there was no need to mention what happened before he met Yan Shixun, but since his beloved ghost exorcist wanted to know, then of course he would tell him.
Just at this moment, Lu Xingxing shouted loudly outside the door, interrupting their conversation.
When Yan Shixun finally drove Lu Xingxing away and returned to the room, facing Ye Li's serious gaze, he suddenly felt that the relaxed conversation atmosphere before had disappeared.
Even if he wanted to bring it up again, he felt a little uncomfortable.
——Especially in front of someone like Ye Li, who seemed to be the only one he knew and would tell him everything and allow him to take whatever he wanted.
Yan Shixun couldn't help but recall what Lan Ze had said to him.
The memories of the past fall into our hearts and become a seed that is planted.
Even though I didn't take it seriously at the time, all the time I spent with and conversations with Ye Li, even every smile and look from Ye Li, became nutrients that moistened things silently, nourishing that seed.
Yan Shixun couldn't help but start thinking, could it be that... what Lan Ze said was right?
However, he considers himself to be just an ordinary person, no different from other people who are busy making a living.
——No, Yan Shixun believes that there are thousands and thousands of dazzling people, the heroic spirits of our ancestors, and patriots, and they are the extraordinary people.
Compared to those people, Yan Shixun felt that he was just the most insignificant person in the world, and he had no place to attract others. In particular, he was very self-aware, and he had a bad temper and was definitely not a kind person.
In this case, if what Lan Ze said is right, then what caused Ye Li’s emotions?
Yan Shixun was a little confused.
But before he could sort out his thoughts, he suddenly heard a loud "bang!"
The whole room fell into darkness in an instant.
Yan Shixun's eyes flashed, and he immediately put aside his confusion about emotions and rushed out of the room.
Screams of surprise were heard one after another in the small building.
"What's going on?"
"Is the power out?"
"It's so dark. I'm a little scared."
Because it gets dark early, the completely undeveloped village is not as brightly lit as the city, but relies entirely on lights in the rooms for lighting.
Now that the lights were turned off, everyone was plunged into pitch-black darkness, and they couldn't see what was around them at all.
The room opposite on the first floor opened, and Song Ci appeared at the door.
Zhang Wubing also hurried down the stairs, feeling the railings: "Don't panic, don't panic. The voltage in the village is unstable. We were informed of this before we came, so the logistics department prepared flashlights and candles."
After the initial panic passed, An Nanyuan, who had gone out to fetch water, also remembered that he had taken a flashlight in order to see the river water clearly.
He hurried into the room, trying to find where the flashlight was.
You can't see anything in the darkness, so An Nanyuan has to rely entirely on his sense to feel his way forward.
He searched the place according to his memory, turned over the young master's luggage bag on the table, and thought to himself that the flashlight was placed here.
An Nanyuan was delighted in advance and relaxed.
That’s great, I don’t have to be afraid now that I have a flashlight.
He comforted himself by thinking that he heard sounds around him and smelled a foul smell. It must be because the darkness affected his judgment and made him think wildly out of fear of unknown danger.
Ghosts and corpses, they definitely don’t exist.
When the lights went out, An Nanyuan, who was originally sitting on the bed, suddenly felt a vibration under the bed, and then a cold wind blew past his ankles, as if there was something hidden under the bed.
Annanyuan remembered that there was space under the bed, just the right height for a person to hide - and then he began to have wild thoughts.
He first smelled a rotten corpse odor coming from under the bed, and then he heard a slight noise in the closet, as if someone was hiding inside.
Not only that, he also felt that there were vague figures walking outside the window, but those figures looked like fat people, several times more swollen than normal people.
It was as if the entire room had fallen into darkness and was surrounded by rotting corpses.
An Nanyuan was so frightened by his own imagination that he grabbed Song Ci who was in the room and started to frantically express his imagination, thinking that this would alleviate his fear.
Song Ci was so annoyed by An Nanyuan that he left the house.
Now, the only people in the room were Nantian, a male star who had fainted due to exhaustion, and An Nanyuan.
Annanyuan tremblingly comforted himself, saying that everything would be fine once he got the flashlight so he could see the room clearly, but in fact he was just scaring himself.
With this idea in mind, he finally managed to reach the place where the flashlight was placed.
But when he breathed a sigh of relief and happily reached for the flashlight, he felt something cold and slippery.
The thing was segmented and had an oddly soft touch, like meat that had lost its elasticity and was swollen from being soaked for too long. If you pressed it, a pit would form, and the smoothness of the tentacles felt more like human skin.
It's like... the hand of a rotten corpse.
Because of his own imagination, An Nanyuan's entire body slowly froze.
His hand that was reaching out to grab the flashlight froze. Even though he knew he should pull his hand back, fear made his muscles stiff and tense, and he couldn't move them at all.
Even though he was desperately commanding his limbs in his mind, and even his teeth were chattering from the bone-eating cold, he still couldn't move.
It was like being in a nightmare, watching a monster chasing after you but unable to even dodge.
After his eyes adjusted to the darkness, An Nanyuan finally saw clearly what was in front of him.
A corpse that had been soaked to the point of being almost unrecognizable.
It stood next to the cabinet, blending into the darkness, staring at An Nanyuan quietly.
As if it sensed Annanyuan's fear, it slightly opened its mouth and tried to laugh.
However, its swollen face and loose muscles could not support it to make any human expressions, so the smile was so hideous and terrifying that it almost made Annanyuan lose his breath and fainted with fright.
“Yan…Yan, Brother Yan!”
