Chapter 233

"Have you never seen a normal person, or have you lived in a place where murderers are everywhere and everyone has become accustomed to it?"

The woman in blue was extremely angry, but her words did not prove that she had not killed her companion.

After my friend, the man in red and I left, there were only two people left in that place, a woman in blue and a woman in yellow.

Now one of them is missing. If the missing person is dead, then anything the remaining one says will be unconfirmed.

Without sufficient evidence, it is impossible to convince people.

But being angry is totally useless.

It may even make people think that the reason for anger is guilt and fear of being known, so one expresses his or her attitude and thoughts in an extremely intense emotion.

So these words not only failed to increase the credibility of the woman in blue, but made people more suspicious that she really killed her companion.

The woman in blue looked at me, and seemed to realize that she could not convince me. She stopped talking and sat on the ground with her head down, looking very dejected. She probably didn't intend to explain anymore.

Or maybe she is now exhausted physically and mentally.

I can understand this. Everyone is very tired, so it is a good thing to talk less.

I rummaged through my backpack and found that the food in it was gone, as if someone had suddenly stolen it.

I stood there in a daze, needing some time to calm down.

The woman in blue took one look, realized that I was in the same situation as her, and burst out laughing.

"I thought you were so great, but it turns out you are nothing special. Didn't you get separated from them too? How dare you blame me? Didn't your stuff go missing too?

Now you understand how I feel.”

The woman in blue rolled on the ground laughing.

I sighed, picked up my backpack and prepared to leave.

The woman in blue finished laughing, got up from the ground and asked me, "Are you leaving now? Where are you going? Do you have a destination?"

I shook my head.

The woman in blue wanted to ask me more questions, but I didn't answer her and quickened my pace to leave her.

I'm not sure if I had continued to stay around her I wouldn't have had a huge argument with her over her question.

The woman chased me and shouted at me for a few words, but she realized the problem and didn't catch up with me. It might also be because of her broken foot that she couldn't catch up.

Anyway, that's how we separated.

It’s okay, it’s okay, I comforted myself in my heart. As long as I get out of this forest, I can see my friends again as soon as possible.

I now realize that my friends are my anchor.

Although if he wasn't there, I wouldn't be here now, walking around in circles as if I were lost, unable to get out, unable to lie in bed and enjoy myself.

But if it weren't for him, maybe when I encountered heavy fog, I would feel that there was nothing to do and I could just sit in the car and waste my time.

Then I don’t know when I completely disappeared, and I don’t even know how I died.

From this perspective, my friends are a great encouragement to me.

Everything has two sides. I accepted this duality and walked to the edge of the forest.

But suddenly I met another person on the road.

"Why are you here?"

I looked at the woman in yellow across from me with confusion.

"I'm not here, where should I be?"

The woman in yellow asked doubtfully.

"Weren't you supposed to be with someone else and take a break? You don't look like you're taking a break when you walk here now."

I replied.

"You mean that companion? He was too slow and I left him behind."

The woman in yellow said.

"But you are companions, why do you want to get rid of that person?"

I asked doubtfully.

"That's what you don't know. My companion is not a human being."

The woman in yellow clothes was mumbling something.

"How could that be? We came here together, and I didn't notice the difference before."

I answered with a blink.

"After you left, the man's true colors were revealed, and I realized it. Otherwise, why would I run away? It's always more reassuring to have companions than to have none. Who would seek death for no reason?"

Said the woman in yellow.

"How did your companion reveal his true colors?"

I asked.

"We were hungry, so after we had a meal, the man let down his guard and said he felt dizzy and needed to rest.

I was just watching from the side, and that person was not on guard either.

Its tentacles were exposed, countless eyes grew on its face, its body was covered with bloody scars, and large butterfly-like wings grew on its back, as if it wanted to blow me away with a gust of wind.

I think she was responsible for the strong winds we encountered at the bottom of the mountain."

The woman in yellow looked around and spoke in a low voice.

"What did you eat?"

I asked.

“It’s really annoying. I had a lot of food in my backpack, but when I opened it, I found nothing. I had to look for food nearby.

The mushrooms we found were barely edible, but eating them would be a problem.

I suspected that those mushrooms could control my companion, so I collected some mushrooms and put them in my backpack. Do you want to see them? "

The woman in yellow was very enthusiastic. She opened her backpack and took out a bunch of colorful mushrooms that were tangled together with purple light and looked like dead fish. There was still dirt on the surface of the mushrooms.

I took one look and waved my hands, backing away.

"I've seen it. Thank you. Take it back."

I said to the woman in yellow.

The woman in yellow clothes put the mushrooms back into her backpack and tried to pull me with her muddy hands. I quickly moved away and her expression didn't look good.

I immediately apologized to her.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean it.

I don't mean to embarrass you, but you haven't washed your hands yet.

Although there is no water here, I really cannot accept mud getting on my clothes. I was very careful along the way and did not fall. "

I said as I lowered my head and stepped back.

The woman in yellow stood there with a frown on her face and listened to everything I said.

"Since you can give me a reason, I will let you go, but you must be careful. The woman in blue is not a good person, otherwise she would not turn into such a monster."

The woman in yellow told me.

I nodded.

"I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."

I said I was about to leave, but she stopped me.

"Where are you going? Can you take me with you?"

The woman in yellow clothes chased after him.

I hesitated.

The woman in yellow didn’t sprain her ankle. If I had just refused her, she would definitely have been able to pursue me.

It would be more dangerous if we go together. Who knows if she would want to attack me by my side?

"I saw a stone on the road, and it said that it is best not to walk together. So we should not walk together."

I said hesitantly.

I thought if I told her the truth, maybe the woman in yellow would think I was talking nonsense, trying to deceive her, or just guessing and not taking it seriously, so she had to follow me.

There was no other way I could put it to tell her what I meant.

The woman in yellow frowned after hearing this and didn't quite believe it. I had expected this to happen.

"You are not lying to me just to get rid of me."

The woman in yellow looked at me suspiciously.

"There's no need for me to lie to you. What good would it do to lie to you? There's no food in your backpack. I have other things in my backpack too. I wouldn't do this to burden myself."

I said with my eyes wide open.

Perhaps because I was a little sincere, the woman in yellow believed me halfway.

"I believe what you said, but I want to give it a try. If something really happens, I will leave you soon. You don't think there is a problem, right?

If you think there is a problem, then you are lying to me and I will not let you go.

You know I won't let a liar go, right?

Liars deserve to die, and you don’t want to be a liar.”

The woman in yellow said to me threateningly.

I took a deep breath. I didn't want to cause trouble for myself, nor did I want to cause trouble for my friends, so I could only nod.

The woman in yellow gave me a gentle, grateful smile, but I felt she was like a poisonous snake, waiting for an opportunity to bite me.

I asked her to walk in front and tried not to walk side by side with her.

When we walked on the road, we would walk one after the other or stop to rest, and chat from time to time to assure each other that we were still by our side and not pretending to be something else.

I felt that the road was very long, as if time had suddenly been stretched out, and I couldn't reach the end of the forest. I felt that I was very close before, but I still hadn't reached the destination.

I'm a little frustrated.

The woman in yellow wanted to be angry with me, but seeing my expression, she felt that I had not lied to her about the destination and route, so she remained silent.

While walking on the road, suddenly a voice came from the side.

"Why did you suddenly appear again?"

The voice of the woman in blue clothes sounded a little surprised.

I looked down and saw that the blue woman was indeed sitting against a tree, looking at the two of us.

"Is this what you mean by the danger of two people walking together? I don't think it's very dangerous because she couldn't catch up with me before. And she herself doesn't even know what she is."

The woman in yellow clothes approached me and said grimly.

She probably meant that I should stop talking nonsense, so as not to provoke the woman in blue to reveal her true form and eat both of us.

I nodded.

"If you and her get together, one of you will definitely die. Are you completely unaware of what's happening? Have you forgotten what I told you before?"

The woman in blue asked me.

"I remember, but you didn't see that thing, did you?"

I answered vaguely.

"You two are walking together, are you still afraid? If you are really that afraid, why are you walking with this person?"

asked the woman in blue.
