Just then, a hand touched the back of Ji Mingxia's hand.
Ji Mingxia trembled all over, and before he could say anything, he felt that hand gently writing on the back of his hand.
It was Yu Ning's hand, his fingertips gently stroked Ji Mingxia's palm, every stroke was very clear.
Ji Mingxia immediately kept his posture, not moving at all, not even looking away, as if he had been completely frightened by the monster...
Song Yuelin was hiding in a corner holding his breath. When he noticed that the monster was staring at Ji Mingxia and walking towards them, the muscles on his face twitched slightly, and then he quickly closed his eyes.
The entire forest was dead silent. Apart from the sound of the monsters moving around, there was no other sound.
The sound of leaves being crushed was light and crisp. Under the pressure of the monster, everyone dared not even breathe hard. They were so nervous that they could even hear their own heartbeats.
Song Yuelin counted the time silently in his heart according to the frequency of his heartbeat. After about half a minute, Song Yuelin opened his eyes.
Compared to just now, the sky was a little darker at this time. Song Yuelin looked ahead and saw that the place where the monster was standing was empty. Such a terrifying behemoth disappeared in just thirty seconds.
There were no more extraneous sounds in the forest, as if the forest had returned to its previous tranquility.
A trace of suspicion flashed across Song Yuelin's face, and he slowly turned his head and looked to his side.
Ji Mingxia, who was hiding there, disappeared as well, leaving only Yu Ning standing there, looking at him coldly.
The person targeted by the monster just disappeared? !
Song Yuelin was stunned for a moment, then his eyebrows jumped, and he could hardly suppress the joy on his face, but Yu Ning's cold face made him calm down quickly.
Although this guy is thin, he is young and tall, and a tough guy.
Men's body fat percentage is lower than women's, so their meat is not as delicate and dense as women's, but because of less fat, it is more elastic...
Song Yuelin quietly put the mirror in his hand back into his pocket. He wiped his face with his hand, took a deep breath, adjusted his facial expression, then looked at Yu Ning in confusion and lowered his voice, "What's going on... What happened? Why are the monsters and him gone?"
Yu Ning didn't say anything, but turned around and walked towards the business car.
Song Yuelin wanted to check the situation nearby, but he didn't expect Yu Ning to be so disrespectful to him and just left.
Song Yuelin's face turned cold and he stared at Yu Ning's back. After seeing Yu Ning take a few steps and be safe and sound, Song Yuelin finally quickly caught up with Yu Ning and walked behind him.
Although they had only been together for two hours, Ji Mingxia and Yu Ning had distinct personalities, and Song Yuelin had long seen through what kind of person Yu Ning was. He forced himself to control his emotions, and while walking back, he couldn't help but take the initiative to speak again: "I was so scared that I closed my eyes just now. I didn't know what happened, and I didn't hear any sound... I didn't expect... the result would be like this."
Song Yuelin said as he moved closer to Yu Ning, looked at his face and said, "Is your friend okay? Was he dragged away by the monster? Did you see him die with your own eyes? If you didn't see it with your own eyes, maybe there is still hope for everything?"
Yu Ning didn't even look at him.
Song Yuelin was furious and could only change his approach. He gritted his teeth and continued, "Excuse me... If I hadn't seen him die with my own eyes, there would still be hope of survival... Maybe the monster just took him away, and we can still find him. If that doesn't work, even if he was cut into pieces... it would be better to find his body and bury him."
As soon as he finished his last sentence, Yu Ning suddenly stopped and turned to look at him with a stern face.
Yu Ning finally responded. Song Yuelin couldn't help but smile. He raised his hand and said to Yu Ning slowly, "I was just guessing. Don't be angry. We are trapped in this forest and can't get out. One more person means more strength. I really hope your friend is okay."
"Really?" Yu Ning said, "I really can't tell."
"Alas, I have seen several friends die with my own eyes. When I first saw people die, I was very scared. My legs were weak and I couldn't sleep all night. Whenever I closed my eyes, I saw my friends die... But I have seen it so many times that I am numb. I hope you can forgive me." Song Yuelin sighed, "The most important thing now is that those who are still alive can successfully walk out of this forest. Let's work together to win a chance of survival. I believe in your friend and I definitely hope that you can live in good health."
Song Yuelin talked as he walked. Both of them were men and walked fast. While talking, they had unknowingly returned to the vicinity of the business car.
Yu Ning suddenly stopped.
Song Yuelin, who was originally walking behind him, unconsciously walked ahead as he spoke.
Seeing that Yu Ning was standing there and didn't follow him, Song Yuelin turned around and said, "Why, you don't believe what I said?"
They had been out for such a long time without even looking at Ji Mingxia, and the ghost figure completely disappeared.
Although Yu Ning did not clearly state what happened, Ji Mingxia was most likely taken away by the ghost.
I just managed to get through this stage today.
Song Yuelin felt relieved and regained his confidence. He walked to the side of the business car, took out a box and started fiddling with it.
Yu Ning doesn't like to talk, but it doesn't matter, he can still talk by himself.
Song Yuelin said: "Although you don't seem as easy to get along with as your friend, you should be a smart person. No matter what the reason is, there are only two of us left now. Either we kill each other or we cooperate and benefit each other. You should know clearly which choice to make, right?"
When communicating with Ji Mingxia, Song Yuelin looked amiable and a warm and kind-hearted brother. However, at this moment, he had completely changed his expression.
Although he was trying to persuade Yu Ning, he looked unhurried and seemed to be in complete control of the overall situation.
This invisible aura, under special circumstances, almost crushed Yu Ning.
After all, for Yu Ning, a young high school student who came to an unfamiliar environment, had just seen a ghost with his own eyes, and lost his companions, he was considered strong inside for not collapsing. Facing Song Yuelin, who had already survived in the forest for four or five days, there was no way he could be his opponent.
The forest was completely silent, as if they were the only two living people left in the world.
Yu Ning seemed to be slightly relieved, and for the first time took the initiative to express his request: "Why should I trust you?"
After hearing what he said, Song Yuelin couldn't help but smile softly.
As expected, he is still young and took the bait so quickly.
He raised his head, looked at Yu Ning and said, "I know that you have a good relationship with your friend. You must not be able to accept the fact that a living person suddenly disappeared. You may even want to vent your anger on me. I understand your emotions.
"To express my apologies, I can tell you one more thing. This can be regarded as our initial sincerity in cooperation."
After Song Yuelin finished speaking, he slowly opened the box in front of Yu Ning.
The lid of the box was facing Yu Ning, and from Yu Ning's perspective, he couldn't see what Song Yuelin's hands were doing.
Song Yuelin lowered his head, fiddling with his hands in the box, so he didn't notice that although Yu Ning was facing him, his hands were still behind his back. From Song Yuelin's angle, he still had no idea what Yu Ning's hands were doing.
Although the two men were facing each other, they had their own thoughts. Song Yuelin said, "Every evening, the ghost appears on time to kill people. It has been five days now... Do you still remember that you said that there were seven of us in the car when we entered the forest?"
Yu Ning said: "If you kill one person a day, you will only have two people left now."
"Yes, but when the ghost appeared just now, you saw that he had three faces, three human bodies... Those three faces all looked like our friends. Every time the ghost killed someone, another person's face appeared on his body, so we guess that only after all seven people were killed, the ghost would let us go." Song Yuelin said.
Yu Ning asked, "Not counting today, you have been in the forest for four days in total, and the ghost has only killed three people?"
"Yes, that's the problem." Song Yuelin looked at Yu Ning and said, "The ghost has to kill seven people before this nightmare-like hide-and-seek game can end. But I want to stay alive, so, one day is left empty and one spot is missing."
Yu Ning whispered: "So this is why you harmed Ming Xia?"
Song Yuelin laughed and said, "How can you say it's harmful? When he got into trouble, I just closed my eyes tightly. I didn't even touch him. I didn't do anything. The one who killed him was a ghost. If you have any resentment, you should resent the ghost."
After saying that, Song Yuelin changed the subject: "Now that things have come to this, there is no need to pursue the previous things. The most important thing is that the two of you must survive... I don't want to die, and it just so happens that you two walked in by accident. Your friend..."
Seeing that Yu Ning looked unhappy, Song Yuelin expressed it more tactfully and said, "Your friend's life or death is uncertain, so what we can be sure of at the moment is that the two of you are absolutely safe."
Yu Ning said: "You used Ming Xia's life to replace your position and exchange your life. You are safe, but you are not."
Song Yuelin smiled and said, "As long as the remaining six people are dead, you will be safe."
"Why? How can you be sure that the ghost will only kill seven people?" Yu Ning asked.
Song Yuelin said so much. Most people would have breathed a sigh of relief and felt lucky to know that they were safe.
But Yu Ning refused to give in and turned a blind eye to Song Yuelin's various hints. From beginning to end, he refused to follow his ideas at all.
Song Yuelin was a little impatient and said, "Because the ghost was created by the seven of you, it only wants to deal with you and has no interest in you at all. You just ran in by accident. As the saying goes, every wrong has its perpetrator, and every debt has its creditor. Of course, you are safe. Do you understand this explanation?"
Yu Ning looked at Song Yuelin and curled the corners of his mouth slightly.
It was the first time that Song Yuelin saw such a vivid expression on Yu Ning's face. He had to admit that although this person looked a little weird, his appearance was still extremely exquisite and superior.
He is an internet celebrity blogger and he knows many internet celebrity friends. His cameras are full of handsome men and beautiful women, but without the lighting and photo retouching, many of them reveal their true colors.
The best-looking one is at Ji Mingxia's level. Yu Ning's appearance stands out from the crowd. It looks a bit shabby in the three-dimensional world, but if it is posted on the Internet, it will probably go viral.
Song Yuelin didn't expect that Yu Ning would smile at him under such circumstances. He felt a little itchy in his heart.
When a person is disassembled, he is nothing more than cut up dead meat.
But it has to be said that even when choosing pork at the market, people will instinctively choose the one that looks prettier and more delicious.
This is the case even for a piece of meat, let alone an animal that has not been opened yet.
Song Yuelin said proudly: "This is a rule that I have figured out myself. You are lucky to have met him. If you had met another idiot, lost in the forest and hiding, I am afraid he would not know what was going on now."
"Are you talking about yourself?" Yu Ning said.
These words were not very pleasant to hear, and Song Yuelin frowned slightly. At this moment, he took the initiative and had the upper hand. Whether Yu Ning lived or died depended entirely on his mood.
His face turned cold and he was about to scold Yu Ning, but when he saw Yu Ning's expression, Song Yuelin suddenly felt that something was wrong.
It’s not because of Yu Ning, but because of himself.
At dusk, monsters appear and kill people. As the sun sets, the monsters leave after taking human lives. The forest at night is actually safer.
Dusk is the crazy time when day and night alternate and yin and yang blend together, and it is very short.
When Song Yuelin, Ji Mingxia and Yu Ning started hiding, dusk was already approaching. After Ji Mingxia disappeared, they returned to the business car from their hiding place and talked for a long time.
There are so many trees in the forest with lush branches and leaves that it becomes dark in the forest when it is still light outside.
So much time has passed now, it should have been dark by now.
But at this moment, Yu Ning was standing next to the woods, several meters away from him. At this point in time, Song Yuelin could still see the expression on Yu Ning's face!
So much time has passed, but now it is still dusk!
Either his perception of time was wrong, or there was something wrong with the weather today. It got dark very late, causing the dusk to be stretched out...
No matter which one it is, it is not a good thing in this dangerous forest!
After Song Yuelin realized this, he suddenly felt a chill inexplicably.
The hairs on his spine stood up, and a sense of danger swept through his brain. Song Yuelin suddenly came to his senses and looked behind him -
In the interweaving of light and shadow, I saw a black shadow standing not far away.
With a "crack", the sound of leaves being crushed was heard, and a figure walked out of the darkness. Song Yuelin saw its appearance clearly from a close distance.
Its body is huge, like three human bodies spliced together, with a triangular head. At this moment, one of the faces is staring at Song Yuelin.
"Impossible... What's going on? Impossible!" Song Yuelin murmured, and suddenly took two or three steps back, his back pressed tightly against the body of the commercial vehicle, looking at the monster in disbelief.
The monster stared at Song Yuelin, seemingly not worried at all that he would run away.
It dragged its heavy body, step by step, like a heavy mountain of flesh, crushing towards Song Yuelin.
Song Yuelin was so frightened that his whole body went limp. He kept his hands against the commercial vehicle and moved his body slowly and with difficulty along the car.
When moving to the rear of the car, Song Yuelin happened to be facing Yu Ning.
Yu Ning was still standing there, looking at Song Yuelin with a cold expression.
Yu Ning was not surprised at all by the sudden appearance of this monster. He was not even afraid at all. He just stood aside and watched coldly.
"It's you... It's you!" Song Yuelin was not stupid. He saw Yu Ning's performance and guessed at once that all the abnormalities today must be related to Yu Ning!
"What did you do... You framed me! Aren't you afraid that it will attack you after I die?" Song Yuelin yelled at Yu Ning.
Yu Ning said slowly: "Didn't you just say that its target is you and has nothing to do with you?"
Song Yuelin was stunned, and suddenly remembered that there was a logical error in his words.
When he first met Ji Mingxia, Song Yuelin, as a person who had experienced it, deliberately exaggerated the atmosphere of horror for Yu Ning and Ji Mingxia, warning them that this was a terrible game of hide-and-seek.
However, in order to appease Yu Ning, he just told Yu Ning that the monster was not targeting him and would not kill him.
But the problem is that if ordinary people suddenly encounter such a scene, they would be scared to death and would not care about any details.
The monster was so close, yet Yu Ning was not only not fooled by him, he even had the mind to find logical loopholes
What kind of freak is this, this guy... is he really a human
Thinking of this, Song Yuelin felt a chill in his heart.
In fact, if you think about it carefully, Yu Ning and Ji Mingxia are both very suspicious.
Especially Yu Ning, he had a spooky aura all over his body and looked abnormal at first glance.
If Song Yuelin met Yu Ning alone, let alone in this forest, even in the city, he would probably look at him a few more times and secretly mutter to himself.
But when he was with Ji Mingxia, Ji Mingxia looked... full of life.
Ji Mingxia seemed too stupid and too gullible, plus they were both young, which caused Song Yuelin to let down his guard.
Now that Ji Mingxia is dead, Yu Ning's true nature is probably completely exposed...
The monster had appeared and was even chasing him, but Yu Ning neither left nor chose to save him. He just stood there and watched coldly.
Song Yuelin looked at Yu Ning's exceptionally indifferent face and those strange eyes, clearly in a state of observation.
Yu Ning was observing Song Yuelin and the monster.
He wanted to see in detail... How did the monster kill people
Realizing this, Song Yuelin suddenly felt a little regretful.
How did I provoke such a pervert
This guy is so young... could he be a murderer
The first time he saw his partner die, he was so frightened that his legs went weak.
Later, driven by the desire to survive, he did various things.
Whenever he felt that he was going against human nature, Song Yuelin would convince himself that everything he did was forced out of self-protection.
In order to survive, ancient humans ate a lot of animals. Although humans all over the world today have different skin colors, they all belong to the same species based on their genes.
There is only one race left in the “category” of human beings, and that’s because all the primitive humans were eaten up…
He is now in the forest. What's wrong with eating meat? The only way he can survive is to see tomorrow.
When he made the first move, Song Yuelin felt both fear and excitement, and he was in high spirits for a long time.
Looking back at Yu Ning's current look, it doesn't look like he's seeing a dead person for the first time...
Various thoughts flashed through Song Yuelin's mind quickly. As the sound of the monster moving closer and closer, he had no time to think about it anymore.
Under Yu Ning's gaze, Song Yuelin gritted his teeth, reached behind him, and pressed a switch on the trunk.
The trunk of the car was slowly opened.
It was like a closed space that was suddenly opened, and a foul smell of decay gushed out from the car. The moment the monster walked behind the car, Song Yuelin dodged and ran away.
The monster that was originally chasing Song Yuelin suddenly stopped after seeing the situation in the trunk.
A cloud of blood-red smoke rose up, covering the entire area, making it impossible to see the scene ahead.
The blood-red ring in Yu Ning's hand flashed impatiently in the blood mist.
About ten seconds later, the blood mist dissipated, and both the monster and Song Yuelin disappeared, leaving only the deeply decayed corpse in the open trunk, emitting a foul stench.
Yu Ning turned around and returned to the place where he and Ji Mingxia had just hidden together.
"Mingxia." Yu Ning called out.
Ji Mingxia was still standing there without moving, but after hearing Yu Ning's voice, he walked out from the depths of the dense woods.
