Views:

I don't know if it's because of my psychology, but after Wen Jiubai kissed me unexpectedly, the depression in his chest dissipated a lot, and he was able to catch his breath. But before I felt lucky, I was frightened by the sight in front of me.

I don't know when, in the dense fog, there are many weird and scary monsters. They slowly pass through the dense fog, walking in different directions, but their speed is surprisingly consistent, neither fast nor slow, neither fast nor slow. Some are walking, some are crawling, and some are flying at low altitude with wings.

At the same time, there was a very strong rancid smell in the air, which I can't describe, like a big box of canned Swedish herring mixed with rotten eggs and bacon that has been sitting for a month. Nose, almost spit it out.

However, Wen Jiubai turned a blind eye to this, took my hand, and whispered in my ear, "Let's go."

"Wait..." Before I could say a word, Wen Jiubai unquestionably dragged me out and walked among those monsters.

"No matter what you see or hear, don't scream. Just walk forward like a normal person." Wen Jiubai said in my ear.

That's easy to say! The pungent stench around us became more and more intense, and more and more monsters passed by us. Some had green skin all over, horns on their heads, eyes on the back of their hands, a huge claw on the lower body, and a giant claw on the upper body. But it's a naked woman's, and there's even a skinny brat with flames all over his body. [Note]

I lowered my head in fear and held Wen Jiubai's hand, not daring to look up at all, I just silently prayed in my heart that this journey could be completed quickly.

I don’t know if it’s my illusion, but the path that usually takes only two minutes to walk is now infinitely extended, with no end in sight in the thick fog.

Just when I was thinking about the distance, suddenly, a huge eyeball as big as my head appeared in front of my eyes. I was so frightened that I almost screamed out, and I held back abruptly.

The eyeball had no eyelid, just a solitary eyeball with bits of flesh and nerves attached to it. It didn't know why it suddenly became interested in me, its pupils rolled around in front of me, and then a low voice came from above my head.

"Smells strange. Human."

I swallowed, held my breath, closed my eyes tightly, and subconsciously clenched Wen Jiubai's hand.

"However, it's too light. It's strange." The monster with big eyes was still muttering to himself, but his eyes refused to leave me.

"Don't get in the way." Wen Jiubai said suddenly, and said to the terrifying monster, "We're going this way."

That big eye finally turned from my side to Wen Jiubai's side.

"smell… "

"That's just the smell left over from my dinner tonight." Wen Jiubai said calmly.

"That's it..." The monster seemed to understand, and the huge and slender eyes retreated. I couldn't help raising my head curiously, wanting to see the true face of the owner of the eye, but I didn't expect that eye to go all the way up, and finally disappeared at an invisible height.

What a joke... So, that monster is at least taller than the roof of our teaching building!

Wen Jiubai saw that I was looking up in a daze, squeezed my palm, and said in a low voice, "Let's go."

Only then did I take two quick steps to keep up with Wen Jiubai's pace.

"So many monsters, where are they going?" I couldn't help being curious, and whispered into Wen Jiubai's ear.

Wen Jiubai glanced at me and said, "Go to different places, you can find them everywhere. This is the link between Yin and Yang, so there are so many monsters."

I was confused, "I don't get it..."

"Let me explain it to you this way." Wen Jiubai said again, "Due to the excess of yin energy in this place, a passage has been created between the yin and yang realms. The wandering souls of the yang realm who want to go to the yin realm will go to the yin realm through this place; The evil spirits from the Yin world will also come to the Yang world from here. This place is equivalent to a crossroads, so monsters will pass through here."

"However, I still don't understand how this link was formed?" I asked in a low voice, "Could it be like the Onmyoji mobile game, can you open the gate of the underworld with a spell?"

Wen Jiubai looked at me with some helplessness, "Let me explain it to you in a more scientific way. If we simply regard 'yin' and 'yang' as two elements in the air we live in, then because now In this place, the proportion of 'Yin' is many times higher than that of 'Yang', creating the rift we are in. This rift connects the material world and the spiritual world, that is to say, it is here that we speak It is very likely that your body was still left beside the ghost grave when you fell down on the ground unconscious."

When it's so cold? I couldn't help shivering, and subconsciously quickened my pace. If that's the case, you have to get out quickly.

Wen Jiubai also seemed to see my thoughts, and also quickened his pace. You better find a way out of this ghostly place as soon as possible.

However, at this moment, a huge monster passed over my shoulder. I subconsciously looked up, and then my whole body froze.

Yes, I have seen that monster. It was almost as tall as a story, with rough black bristles, a big mouth, and half of the lips were split. The big monster walked away from us quickly with heavy steps.

That is... the black-haired monster I met in Yanjin Mountain, whose identity I couldn't find out no matter what! My heart trembled, my body moved faster than my mind, and I ran after the monster with my legs wide open.

That mysterious monster appeared here! What kind of monster is it? Why did it appear in Yanjin Mountain? Who arranged it, or was it a mere coincidence

"Gu Yu! You idiot, come back quickly!" Wen Jiubai shouted behind me, but I didn't hear it at all, I just wanted to catch up with that mysterious monster wholeheartedly.

Although the big black-haired monster seemed to move slowly, it couldn't support its long legs and tall body. It took three steps farther than me. on me.

Damn, how could this guy run so fast? I don't know how far I chased it, but when I came back to my senses, the monster no longer knew where it had gone. I cursed a few words in my heart, and when I was about to rush back to find Wen Jiubai, my eyes lit up.

A few meters in front of me, on the ground there...seemed to be a person sitting? That's right, a human, not a monster, and it should be a young girl.
