Master Mao and Qi Bing followed Yu Xin cautiously. At this moment, they were walking through the woods towards the small town of Bozite.
The woods surrounding the highland, or rather the formation, is quite dangerous. At present, the only way to guarantee passing through here is to let Wang Xu or Yu Xin lead the way, otherwise, even a master like Qi Bing may capsize in the gutter without realizing it.
The mirror blade in Yu Xin's hand flashed a faint purple light. This soul weapon can still play a role under the urging of the demon power, leading them to the only way out in this formation.
Qi Bing said: "I have an idea, can we try to burn this forest?"
Master Mao smiled wryly: "Well, I don't think it's very reliable. The dead energy here, that is, the yin energy is too strong. A normal fire can't burn this place. If you drive a few large bulldozers, it is possible to destroy it. It’s been shoveled here, but I don’t know if what will be left after shoveling is a pile of wood or a mountain of corpses.”
Qi Bing said again: "There is one more thing I don't quite understand. Why are the five of us here? We know each other, and four of them are psychics. How did Manson choose his target?"
Master Mao said: "I don't know about it. Although I have a bold guess, there is too little evidence to support it. I have to find some clues in the town to find out."
Yu Xin turned around and said, "The exit is here."
Master Mao and Qi Bing looked up, and in front of them was the path they entered the forest yesterday. As expected, there is actually only one road running through this forest...
When they came to the town, it was still the same scene. The heavy rain last night did not leave even a puddle. The flow of time in this place seems very strange. I don’t know whether it is fast or slow, or, the time here is just just an illusion...
"I don't think there will be anything of great value in those houses. The most important thing is to go to the church." Master Cat said.
"Now that everyone has no spiritual power, it's better to act together. If you fall into a trap like that corpse forest array and lose contact with other people, it will be troublesome." Qi Bing's analysis is very calm and objective.
Yu Xin did not express any objection, so the three of them came to the church together, and the moment they opened the door to enter, Master Mao's expression changed.
"There's someone else here," he said.
His tone was very certain. Although he had no spiritual consciousness, Lord Cat had somehow sensed the existence of other people immediately.
"Come out by yourself." Master Cat simply glanced around the church: "There is one standing behind the curtain, one squatting behind the pulpit, and three hiding in the confessional."
About ten seconds later, the person behind the podium stood up first, and he was still an acquaintance, William...
"Boss Cat! Master Cat! So it's you!" He ran over with snot and tears.
Master Cat stepped on William's face and pushed the boy a meter away: "Stop talking nonsense, what cat boss? I'm a Pokemon?"
"Teacher Gu... is this voice Teacher Gu?" An uncle in his forties with a face in Chinese characters came out from behind the curtain.
"So it's Professor Hao..." Master Cat laughed.
Professor Hao breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that he was someone he knew. He turned around and shouted to the other side, "Come out, students. It's Teacher Gu in the health room. Old An, come out too, it's okay."
The three who came out of the confession room were all girls, students of Xiang Yi. However, the old Ann that Professor Hao was talking about came slowly from the room behind the church. This Professor An also teaches in Xiangyi, but he specializes in a relatively unpopular field—theology.
As an authority who studies various religions and theology, his situation in Xiangyi is actually quite delicate. After all, there are very few people who are interested in this course. There is a problem that the threshold is too high...
Thinking about it, these days... There are many people who want to learn Shaolin Kung Fu, but few people who want to read scriptures and eat vegetarian food; more people who want to be nuns, but few people who want to be gods; There are few people who understand the Tao. There are also some lamas who want to engage local rebels...
All in all, in this impetuous era, religion may be just a subject, and it may be just a spiritual sustenance that makes you half-knowledgeable, but few people will regard it as a profession. Therefore, this Professor Ans, who usually has a false title in school, made up a name in the Department of Archeology, and received the same treatment as others.
I have to admire the management of Xiangyi... The principle they uphold is that in our super university in the world, you are only allowed to say that you don't want to learn, but you can't say that you can't learn...
Master Cat glanced at Professor Ans. This man gave off a gloomy look. He had a middle parted hair and looked about forty years old. Perhaps because of his thin body, he looked younger than Professor Hao. some.
When everyone got together, Professor Hao said, "Mr. Gu, how do you know where we are hiding?"
Master Cat put on his signature lazy expression and said: "I saw the footprints of five people, William's steps were heavier, and there was more sand on the soles of his shoes than the others. In addition to indicating that you lack exercise and your false fire is rising, it also means It exposed your position." He turned his head to look at Professor Hao: "Next time we will hide behind the curtains, please put your feet in..." Then he looked at the three girls again: "They are all brand-name perfumes. ... There is no way, that kind of high-end goods will remain in the air for a longer time, and the fragrance will be more distant."
In the end, Master Cat looked at Professor Ans with a smile that was not a smile: "Professor An didn't leave any footprints. If he didn't practice lightness kung fu, then he must be lighter than a few girls?"
Ans smiled, his smile... how to describe it, ghosts in horror movies usually smile like this...
"Hehe, it's just because of my shoes." He pointed to his feet.
Master Mao looked down, and it turned out that this person was wearing neither leather shoes nor sports shoes, but a pair of canvas shoes. The style was very similar to the small cloth shoes that old ladies with bound feet in the old society loved to wear, only the material and size It's not the same. Shoes like this have thin soles and no complicated textures. Many of them are flat or horizontal. If you do it deliberately, you can walk silently and leave no footprints.
"Mr. Gu, how did you get here? Where is this town called bozite?" Professor Hao asked.
Master Cat laughed: "Ah...that, we don't know, we were playing in the hotel a minute ago, and suddenly we came to such a ghostly place."
Professor Hao nodded: "That's right... so are we. Lao An and I were having dinner together, but suddenly felt lost, and then we came here, and these four classmates appeared beside us."
"Oh... When did you guys come here? Have you seen anyone else?" Master Cat asked.
Professor Hao shook his head: "We have been here for more than an hour. Before that, we walked around the town separately, but found no one. Finally, we came here to gather and rest, discuss the next plan, and finally heard the voice of someone outside. , I don’t know if there will be any danger, so I hid, I didn’t expect to meet you.”
Master Mao said: "Oh...so that's the case." Then he turned his head and said to Qi Bing and Yu Xin in a low voice: "This is troublesome, all these people are in danger, it seems difficult to protect everyone..."
Professor Hao continued to ask: "Mr. Gu, when did you come here?"
Master Cat said: "We arrived yesterday, um... there are two other students, Wang Xu and Yan Li, you should know each other, they are staying in the big house on the high ground over there, where we found food and Water, or you too..." He walked out of the church as he spoke, trying to show Professor Hao the old house, but an unimaginable scene happened, the highland, the woods, the place where they returned to the town All the small roads disappeared, and there was only an endless desert in front of us...
"What's going on?" Qi Bing was asking Yu Xin, she was the only person here who could still use some spiritual power.
Yu Xin's complexion also became very ugly: "You ask me, who should I ask?"
Master Cat’s expression also changed a lot, this thing is ridiculous, even the monk ran away with the temple, flying around? Obviously not, he muttered in a low voice: "Manson... what tricks are you playing..."
…
No one knows what tricks Manson is playing, but at this moment, Wang Xu has an ominous premonition. This is the instinct of the power of dominance. He can perceive the imminent fatal threat to a certain extent...
Looking at Yan Li on the bed, her high fever was getting worse and she was in a semi-comatose state. Wang Xu brought a whole bucket of water into the room and kept using wet towels to lower Yan Li's body temperature. He didn't dare to overdo it. He leaves this room frequently, because Wang Xu is very scared, he is afraid that when he walks in with a basin of water, Yan Li will disappear from his eyes.
At noon, the feeling of uneasiness became more and more serious, and Yan Li's high fever did not disappear at all. It was just a cold in the rain. Normally, she would be fine if she took a piece of cold medicine and took a nap. But the current situation is obviously not right .
Wang Xu was as anxious as sashimi, he didn't even have time to cook it...
Master Cat was originally a doctor, but now he is not around. Even if he is here, there is no medicine, no equipment, no Taoism and spiritual power, the so-called clever woman can't cook without rice, and he can't help.
So Wang Xu can only rely on himself now, but he also has no choice...
Yan Li opened her eyes with difficulty, her voice was very weak: "Wang Xu... I... feel so uncomfortable..."
Wang Xu held her hand and let her lean into his arms, "I know... I know..."
"Am I... going to die?"
"Hehe... How is that possible... It's just a cold, it comes and goes quickly..." He squeezed out a smile, but it only lasted for a few seconds.
"Don't lie to me...I know...it's not a cold..." Yan Li's expression was very painful, she lost consciousness again before she finished speaking.
Looking at Yan Li in his arms, Wang Xu felt as if he had overturned the five-flavored bottle in his heart. At this moment, many emotions came together with heartache. At this moment, he only felt that he was useless, and Yan Li's life was disappearing before his eyes. But he was helpless, just like Eleanor back then... Could it be that the ominous premonition meant that Yan Li would die
Do not! no! I can't take it anymore, I can't lose her again! No matter whether it is heaven, earth, people, gods, or ghosts, no one can take her life from me again!
Wang Xu carried Yanli on his back, kicked the glass of the window, and jumped out from the second floor.
When he landed, he found that the sky was no longer the sky at noon, but the night, with a new moon hanging in the sky.
Black shadows appeared in Wang Xu's line of sight one by one. They stood motionless under the moonlight, with distorted expressions resembling smiles on their faces.
These are all wax figures, wax figures in human skin...
Wang Xu roughly counted, there are more than 30 wax figures, surrounded by the ancient house in a strange position, and the small woods around the highland, at some point, has become an endless stretch sea of trees...
