"Hurry up!" If Chu Xian and Chu Xiu hadn't exercised a lot, they would have been exhausted in a short time after running for more than ten floors. To their surprise, the delicate girl didn't seem to be exhausted at all and followed them closely.
Only after they rushed into the apartment did the three of them gradually slow down their pace. Lin Chu pretended to breathe heavily and wiped the non-existent sweat: "Is the apartment haunted?"
"It should be." Chu Xian never thought that his "dream" would come true.
"I heard you talking about the dream you had in the elevator. Why... was it really a dream?" Lin Chu added a questioning tone to his voice.
"What do you mean?" Chu Xian didn't say anything. Chu Xiu stood in front of his sister with an unfriendly look. Chu Xian pushed him and whispered, "Don't be like that."
She said: "In fact, I also feel strange. I always feel that the scene is familiar."
But there was no girl in the familiar scene, even though she felt that the girl looked familiar. She hesitated for a while, but still pulled Lin Chu up: "Run, let's find a way to get away from here first."
Chu Xiu showed a bit of displeasure on his face, and Chu Xian grabbed his arm and said, "Alright, Xiu Xiu, you are being awkward again. Is this the time to be fussy?" She pointed behind her and said, "Those things are staring at us. Let's go."
Indeed, those creatures were still standing on the balcony, staring at them, making them feel creepy. They quickly ran around the corner to get rid of their gaze.
"By the way, what was that thing you just brought?" Seeing that they seemed to be out of danger, Chu Xian asked while running. She was very curious about the green fluorescent thing.
Lin Chu shook his head: "I can tell you."
Chu Xian didn't mind and just smiled gently: "Sorry, everyone has secrets, I shouldn't ask too much."
"It's not that reason, it's just that I can't tell you right now." Lin Chu looked at her, and Chu Xian felt that her eyes seemed to contain something very deep, yet seemed to contain nothing.
"Anyway, you'll know when the time comes." Lin Chu added this sentence silently in his heart, but by that time... I hope you're still alive.
The road ahead gradually became darker and longer, the chilly wind seeped into their skin, the number of people and vehicles gradually decreased, and by the time they reacted, there were almost no figures left, as if they had suddenly arrived at an empty city.
“Watch out, maybe… it’s… again…” Chu Xian warned Lin Chu, and turned to pull Chu Xiu by the arm. As soon as he held her, she reacted immediately and ran away with Lin Chu.
The person she held just now was icy cold, and it was definitely not a living person!
Lin Chu ran faster than her, running desperately in front and behind. Behind them, a black object of unknown origin was crawling on the ground in the shape of a human, making a slight rustling sound.
And Chu Xiu's figure had disappeared long ago!
Lin Chu once again felt the thorn in her back as if she were being watched, but there were no buildings around them. As they ran, the road under their feet became like a road in the wilderness, with low thorns and weeds everywhere, making it very inconvenient to walk on and it was difficult to hide.
So... what was watching her
At the back, the rustling thing gradually grew larger and still condensed into a human shape. Looking closely, it turned out to be a group of black beetles as big as fingernails gathered together. No one could tell how many insects there were. They were flying and circling in the air, following the two girls in front.
"Do you still have that thing on top of you?"
"Yes, but it's not effective for this kind of thing." Once it was poured over, it scattered and had no effect at all.
In fact, their methods of dealing with weird things were quite limited. Even high-level green spores could only deal with weird creatures. They had no resistance to cursed creatures that could manipulate time and space to kill people.
"Sister! Help me... Save me..."
Chu Xian suddenly heard her brother's cry for help, and she looked back in disbelief.
Among the group of human-shaped shadows, there seemed to be a real struggling figure.
"Go! It's confusing you." Lin Chu pulled Chu Xian, "It's impossible to get out of this mess if you're entangled by that kind of bug."
"But." Chu Xian was dragged away, but still couldn't help looking back, "My brother..."
"Good things will come to those who are lucky. Trust your brother." Lin Chu dragged her away regardless of anything. "Let's consider our own lives first... Damn it!"
She stopped abruptly.
At the intersection in front of them, a person in red was walking slowly. It was impossible to tell whether he was a man or a woman, old or young. The darkness could not conceal the blood-red color of his face. It seemed as if his entire body was soaked in blood.
Lin Chu saw clearly that as the red-clothed evil spirit slowly approached, bloody footprints appeared behind it, and the bloodstains flowed and soon covered the road.
"What should we do now? Do you have any ideas?" Chu Xian was unexpectedly calm. She looked around carefully, hoping to find a way out.
The two stood back to back, one facing the swarm of insects that were about to fly over, the other looking directly at the red-clothed evil spirit. There was no sound from behind, so Chu Xian said, "Why don't we just fight it out? Wrap up the clothes and break through from your side?"
"Okay." Lin Chu thought so too.
The feeling of being watched becomes stronger...
That thing... that thing looking at me, is getting closer and closer!
Lin Chu wrapped his head and face, tucked into his sleeves, clutched his cuffs, and took a deep breath—
"Walk!!"
An out-of-control car suddenly appeared at the end of the road. It looked like it had just been in a car accident. The front of the car was flattened and oil was leaking on the road, but it was still moving forward and rushed straight into the pile of insects. In an instant, the vehicle exploded and flames shot into the sky.
The air was filled with the stench of burnt protein. The swarm of insects made crackling sounds and flew out with sparks. They fell to the ground not far away, and the flames went out.
Lin Chu and Chu Xian covered their mouths and noses and rushed into the fire.
Compared to being devoured by the swarm of insects, getting a few burns is nothing.
However, the fire came at such a perfect time that it was as if something was helping them.
The two girls were so fast that they completely surpassed the speed of sprinters. After running through the fire, they rolled to the ground to put out the fire. As soon as Lin Chu lay down, he became stiff.
She knew what was watching her.
In the pitch-black night sky, where the moon should have been bright, a pair of human eyes, distinctly black and white, suddenly appeared, staring at her without blinking.
That eye... That eye...
Lin Chu rolled down twice and lay on the ground gasping for breath.
It wasn't because of fatigue, but pain. The fine and dense pain like needles pricking her mind swept over her, and the pain was so severe that she, who usually could endure it, could hardly bear it.
Why does it hurt so much
It seemed as if some memory in his mind was trying to break out of the cage. His ten fingers exerted so much force that they almost dug into his skull. Lin Chu's face turned horrible in pain and he almost lost consciousness.
The girl with the mask... The man with the mask... The mother... The uncle...
Half asleep and half awake, she saw a blurry face. The man shook her anxiously, then turned around and carried her on his back.
"Chu... Xian..."
Chu Xian was extremely anxious. She didn't care about the burns on her body. She carried the girl on her back and ran away. She heard the girl's weak breathing on her back.
",…"
The image in his mind that was almost tangled into pieces finally became clear, and his memory came back instantly. The image of the man with the ghost mask appeared in Lin Chu's consciousness.
The man took off his mask, revealing a face...a face that he would never forget.
"You remember?" He said softly, "Useless tools should not exist."
"… … Lu…"
A short knife slipped out of Lin Chu's sleeve.
"Word… "
At the last moment of the memory, the man showed a satisfied smile. He reached out and stroked the girl's head: "Well done."
"present… "
The dagger pierced into his neck, and hot liquid splashed all over Chu Xian's body.
"Lin Chu? Lin Chu?!"
Chu Xian sensed something was wrong and quickly put the person down. The girl behind him had her eyes wide open with dilated pupils. She had the dagger in her hand and stabbed it into her neck. She was no longer beating.
"Wake up! Wake up!" Chu Xian didn't know why, but his heart ached. He had only known this girl for a few hours, but it felt like he had lost a close friend of many years. He hurriedly tried to cover the wound on his neck, but felt a dead pulse in his neck.
"Wake up... Tell me... What should I do?" Tears fell on the girl's face, leaving a large pool of blood. Chu Xian hurriedly wiped it away, but it only smeared the blood on a larger area. "Who should I save? Tell me!"
"Say something!" She fell on the girl's body, sobbing.
Suddenly, the corpse shook.
Chu Xianyi, who was in grief, came back to her senses in an instant. She noticed that the cold corpse below seemed to bounce again. She realized something and turned around and ran away.
Lu Yanli...
who is he
Another world.
Lu Yanli lay on his back, watching the building collapse.
A few seconds before the collapse, he said two sentences, the first one to the statue and the second one to the Lord.
If she died, the jade pendant would fall into the hands of the "God", and in her heart, she still had a chance, so she would never let herself die so easily.
As for that "God", Lu Yanli could only take a gamble.
The entire building collapsed, and the first things to fall were rubble and tiles, which landed beside him. The dust choked him so much that Lu Yanli closed his eyes, waiting for the final moment to come.
He suddenly thought of his future self.
According to rumors, the copy of the Pisces jade pendant - that is, the future life brought by it - will also die after the original body dies.
If I die, will my future self also die
For some reason, his future self always gave him a sense of disharmony. The other party repeatedly emphasized that he must attend the cultural festival, but he never revealed the content of the cultural festival.
And why did he take the picture album away
With my eyes closed in the darkness, I felt a huge pressure coming towards me. The heavy object fell to the ground with a bang, and the impact on the ground almost caused a tremor like an earthquake.
Miraculously, nothing fell on Lu Yanli, not even a rock.
He lay right in the middle of two open windows facing a house in a residential building. The glass shattered and exploded beside him, leaving some cuts on his body.
But he is still alive.
The huge eye finally broke through the dark clouds and stared at him, with undisguised malice in its eyes.
Lu Yanli looked into that eye and his headache started again. He simply closed his eyes and started singing.
