In the dark.
Su Mu closed his eyes and held the big hand made of shadows, which was slender, cold and hard.
It wasn't a human hand at all, it looked more like a hand holding the dead body of some monster.
With his eyes closed, Su Mu had no idea what environment he was in. Although his spirit was strong, it was not strong enough to replace his eyes.
He was like a blind man, being led by a dark shadow, walking slowly forward.
Here, time seemed to have lost its meaning. He could not sense the passage of time at all. It seemed as if he had been walking for a long time, but also as if he had been walking for a short while.
It was silent all around, and I could not hear the shadow or my own footsteps.
Gradually, the sound of water began to sound under Su Mu's feet, but the sound was a bit dull, not like walking in the rain, but more like stepping on some thicker liquid.
Is it blood?
Su Mu guessed casually. He was not panicked at all, but rather had a faint expectation.
He had seen Tingting holding hands with the black shadow in the time silhouette before, so he guessed that the black shadow pulled people into the darkness and might not kill them directly.
It's a very simple truth. If Tingting was killed by the black shadow, she would most likely become a monster like Wang Li, but Tingting was not seen among the villagers.
Moreover, Tingting in the time silhouette clearly knew the black shadow, and even talked to the black shadow: "Are you the nightmare that grandma talked about?"
This sentence shows that Tingting learned about the existence of the black shadow from her grandmother a long time ago.
The lullaby that grandma just sang was probably the one she sang to her every night.
Why didn't Tingting turn into a monster by the shadow? She must have listened to her grandmother, closed her eyes and walked away hand in hand with the shadow.
That's why Su Mu chose to follow the black shadow. He wouldn't live for a few more days.
According to his idea, even if he could not become a superhuman, perhaps becoming a nightmare monster like the villagers would not be bad. After all, the villagers' bodies were very strong and difficult to kill.
As time passed, Su Mu found that the sounds in his ears became clearer and clearer, and there was even the sound of wind whistling past.
Boom!
He stepped on hard ground and there was no sound of water.
As he continued to move forward, he found that the ground was sloping upward and had a curve.
Bridge?
He remembered the song that said there was a hand in the darkness trying to pull you across the bridge.
He continued to follow the black shadow, and when the ground rose to a certain level, it began to descend again, as if he was going down a bridge.
Soon, he walked down from the bridge, and at this moment, he heard a voice beside his ear!
"leader!"
Su Mu was very familiar with this voice. He clearly remembered that it was the voice of the younger brother who was dragged away by the black shadow before.
The younger brother's voice was very excited, and it seemed that he did not expect to see the leader here.
"Chief, are you here to save me?" A hurried trotting sound came from far away in the darkness, and it was obviously the younger brother running over.
However, Su Mu ignored him and did not open his eyes. Instead, a smile of interest appeared on the corner of his mouth.
interesting.
"Chief, why don't you speak? Open your eyes and look at me!" This time the younger brother's voice was closer, almost in Sumu's ear.
Su Mu frowned slightly, but still closed his eyes: "Get away!"
The younger brother's footsteps paused, and his voice was filled with resentment and trembling: "Chief, are you going to abandon me? I have always been following you!!"
"hold head high."
Su Mu responded very confidently.
But he always remembered the lyrics: "Sleep, sleep, close your eyes and don't hide, the soul is lost and can't find relief. Sleep in this night, don't ask whether it is true or false, until dawn breaks, the nightmare will turn around."
The meaning of this line of lyrics is very clear, which is to close your eyes tightly and not be deceived by illusions, otherwise your soul will be lost in the darkness. As for when you can open your eyes, it is naturally time to wait until dawn.
When it comes to means of deceiving people, no one dares to claim to be first if Su Mu is second to none. It is impossible for him to be deceived by a mere illusion.
After being rejected, the younger brother's breathing became heavier and his tone became colder: "Chief, since you have abandoned me, then you can't live! Go to hell!"
A voice full of resentment exploded, and the younger brother rushed towards Su Mu frantically.
If it were an ordinary person, he would have opened his eyes out of fear, but Su Mu didn't. He just walked forward calmly and ignored it at all.
Sure enough, when the sound of the younger brother's charge reached Sumu's ears, everything stopped abruptly and the sound returned to silence again.
He continued to move forward, and gradually felt a hint of warmth, and a beam of light pierced into his tightly closed eyes. The feeling was like closing your eyes facing the sun in the daytime. Even with your eyes closed, you could still feel the dazzling light.
"Chief!" Zhao Chaoyao's surprised voice came from a distance.
"Mr. Su, you're back?" Ye Fanyu's voice also contained some surprise.
"Sumu, wake up. Why are you still closing your eyes? What happened after you and the black shadow left?"
The voices of everyone talking at once flooded into Su Mu's ears, but he still did not open his eyes. Instead, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"How clumsy! Can you use your brain before lying?" Su Mu was too lazy to complain.
If a normal person saw that he had come back alive, his first reaction would definitely not be welcome, but vigilance and suspicion. After all, Wang Li had become a monster like the villagers.
Moreover, it is known that dark shadows only appear at night or in shadows. Now the sunlight is so dazzling, but the dark shadow's hand is still holding his hand. How is this possible?
The voices around paused, and then the tone of Zhao Chaoyao and others became extremely cold.
“He found out.”
"Kill him!"
"Yes, kill him!"
A group of people rushed towards Su Mu, roaring inhumanly.
Similarly, after these sounds rushed to the front, they subsided.
Su Mu walked for a while, and this time he heard some different voices, the voices of children!
"Fool!"
"Hey, here comes the big fool Tingting!"
"Go, go, we don't play with fools."
A group of children were laughing and playing. Amid the laughter, Tingting's aggrieved voice rang out: "Tingting is not a fool!"
"Lululu... Look, this fool is crying."
"Aren't you a fool? Your parents don't want you because you're stupid."
"You're talking nonsense. Grandma said that Mom and Dad went out to work. They didn't abandon Tingting!"
