Nine.

Yan Xiaofeng said that this animal is a ghost.

The ghost was the culprit who caused his car to stall in the middle of the road.

It was that day when he saw the animal in the middle of the road, which caused him to slam on the brakes and the car stalled. After that, his car never started again, and the animal, who did not know what kind or came from, was like a ghost, and every time he was too sleepy to sleep, he would appear without warning, like an experienced and patient hunter, and quietly lurk beside him, tracking him, hunting him, until his patience was exhausted, and then disappeared into the air like morning dew meets sunlight.

So in the past few days, Yan Xiaofeng basically hasn't slept much, because no matter where he hides, as long as he sleeps, this ghost thing will appear, forcing him to flee everywhere, even if he is exhausted, he can only run with all his strength in order to survive.

Then, last night, he couldn't escape, because his body was getting weaker and weaker, so when he staggered to the side of the road, he tripped over a rock and easily rolled off the road.

I vaguely remember that as soon as I stopped rolling, I saw the animal like a devil with a cloak of hair, stretching its neck and looking down at him on the side of the road. At first sight, he stopped, and immediately pounced on him like a gust of wind, and fell on top of him, revealing a bloody mouth from the dense layers of hair, roaring at him, and then biting down on his neck.

The animal's teeth were as big as two rows of peppers.

Yan Xiaofeng saw that his heart was broken, and when he thought that he was about to be crushed alive by such a terrible tooth, he rolled his eyes and fainted suddenly.

It's just that I didn't expect it, I thought I was going to die at that time, but I didn't expect to see the sun the next day alive.

When he awoke, he thought that the horrific experience was just a nightmare, and that he was not lying at the bottom of the mountain road, but on the side of the mountain road, in the same position as he had tripped over the stone the previous night.

So half hesitant and half happy, he was always so weak that he could barely walk, but he still mustered up the strength to continue walking, because he thought that the terrible dream was a hint from God to him, suggesting that even if he was on the verge of life and death, he should not give up hope to continue to live.

He walked and walked on and on, and when his mouth was dry and his thoughts began to blur, he heard the sound of our car, and then he saw us unbelievably as if he had seen the appearance of a mirage.

I was just worried that we might refuse to take him to Wentou Village out of fear after hearing this, so when talking about all what happened to him these days, Yan Xiaofeng deliberately concealed to me and the young man that he had encountered this beast in the mountains. There was always a hint of luck in his heart, and he thought that the beast might be too scruples because of the large number of people, and would not appear easily. But at this moment, after the extremely strange and terrible scene just now, the thing reappeared, and as he had met it for the first time, motionless, like a hunter who had set a trap and waited for the opportunity for the prey to arrive, extremely patiently waiting for the prey to inevitably move, making the same mistake that every prey would make before stepping into the trap.

As he said this, Yan Xiaofeng was always paying attention to the sound of the engine.

It wasn't until he finished speaking, hearing that the sound of the engine was still ringing unhurriedly, that he slightly loosened his tense brows and wiped his forehead with a sweaty hand: "So, hurry up, it's okay to crush it with acceleration." ”

"Since it's a ghost, why do you think you can crush it to death with this car?" asked the Underworld, glancing at him.

"Whether you can be crushed or not, the most important thing is to get out of here quickly!"

"You're scared of it. ”

"If you are chased by this kind of thing all the time, will you not be afraid??"

"But it's been chasing you for days, and it's not seeing it eat you, isn't it? ”

A faint sentence made Yan Xiaofeng choke for a moment. He pinched the back of his chair and looked at him uneasily, his fingers trembling slightly, making his knuckles white and blue. Xu made the young man aware of the panic that he had in his bones, so instead of continuing the stalemate, he released the brakes and caused the car to slide forward.

The speed of the car was not fast, but it was enough for Yan Xiaofeng to breathe a sigh of relief.

Then he let go of his hand and was about to sit back, but suddenly the car stopped again, which made him immediately jump and grab the back of the Dead Child's chair again, and hurriedly asked him, "What's the matter?? Why are you stopping again?"

Before he could finish speaking, a strange sound suddenly came out of his throat, and then he stepped back like lightning.

Because just as the young man had just stopped the car again, the animal not far away that looked like a dog but not a dog, and a horse and not a horse gently shook off its long hair, and walked to the car with its hooves open.

A step or two away, it stopped moving forward, tilting its head as if considering the plans of the occupants of the car.

After a while, seeing that the car was no longer moving forward, he leaned close to the hood and sniffed, then went around to the window, slowly pressed his face against the windowpane, and looked at the young man through the large piece of hair hanging in front of his face, with its jet-black and shiny pupils.

Seeing this, the young man lowered the window and nodded at it: "Excuse me." ”

As he spoke, he looked as if the animal he was facing was a human being, not a beast that could not understand human speech at all.

Interestingly, the beast did understand, and nodded back at him.

"Trouble leads the way. So the young man said again.

It nodded again, then spun around and staggered forward.

He thought that the young man would follow, but he still parked the car and let the animal go all the way. Until the figure gradually became smaller, and then without warning, it spread its hooves and sprinted, just like Yan Xiaofeng described, like morning dew meeting sunlight, it disappeared from the air in an instant.

At this time, the young man suddenly stepped on the accelerator, causing the sleepy car to roar and speed forward like an arrow.

All the way to the place where the animal disappeared just now, I don't know if it was my delusion or because the car was driving too fast, but I felt the whole body suddenly bounce up. It's not the bouncing feeling when you usually encounter uneven roads, but the feeling of multiplying the ups and downs when you take the elevator several times.

This strange feeling only lasted for a short time, and if it weren't for the speed of the car, which made the nerves become extraordinarily sensitive, it would have been almost impossible to feel this subtle abnormality. So he subconsciously glanced at the young man, and just wanted to ask him if he felt it too, but saw him suddenly turn the steering wheel and abruptly drove the car to the left side of the road.

"Be careful!" Seeing at a glance that the young man had no intention of slowing down, Yan Xiaofeng exclaimed in the back seat.

Seeing that the front of the car was about to rush off the road without pause and slide straight down the slope under the road, he almost rushed forward to help the young man return the steering wheel to the right, but fortunately, at this moment, the young man braked and stopped the car steadily.

It only takes a few seconds before and after, between heaven and hell.

Although I knew that the young man would not really drive the car down the mountain road, the shock of that moment was enough for me to sit on the chair, and I couldn't say anything for a while.

Seeing this, he smiled at me, flicked his fingers at me lightly, and as his body suddenly loosened, I realized that I had forgotten to fasten my seat belt just now, and if he hadn't used some means to stabilize my body on the back of the seat, I would probably have to have my head in close contact with the car window with the brake just now.

This made me afraid for a while, and hurriedly buckled the seat belt, and then saw him point his eyes out of the car window, and asked Yan Xiaofeng, who was even more frightened than me in the rearview mirror: "You have been going around in this mountain for the past few days, have you seen this?"

Yan Xiaofeng's body was already extremely weak, and he couldn't withstand this toss, so he grabbed his chest and opened his mouth wide, snorting and panting.

So at first, he barely realized that Hades was asking him.

Until he reacted, he was immediately stunned, and then slowly looked out of the car with a trace of doubt.

Looking at it, his eyes widened all of a sudden, revealing a look of disbelief that he was so puzzled that when he pointed out the window, he couldn't even speak well: "...... This...... How did my car go down the hill on its own??"

Under the ramp lies an SUV on four wheels.

Apparently the car crashed into the big tree under the slope when it rushed off the road, so the whole head was dented in, the front window was broken in half, and it rolled and hit the stones under the slope one after another, so the body almost fell apart.

This made Yan Xiaofeng's nervous and slightly bloodshot eyes look even more flickering and frightened.

When he came to his senses, he immediately moved to the left, as if he wanted to push the door out to see what was going on, but suddenly he inhaled sharply, as if he had been shocked, and then quickly retracted into his seat, his teeth clenched and trembled: "Impossible...... It can't be ......"

I followed his horrified gaze and saw a corpse lying about three or four meters away from the front of the car, covered in broken glass, which had begun to decompose in the hot heat.

A scratched white long-sleeved shirt, dark blue jeans covered in scratches, and short, messy hair that has been flattened with some sharp weapon on the lower half of the forehead.

This corpse is not Yan Xiaofeng, but who can it be?

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but quietly look at Yan Xiaofeng in the back seat, and saw him sitting there motionless like a wax figure, staring at the corpse in front of him with wide eyes, and his stunned appearance was almost a little funny, but in this situation, how could it make people laugh.

It was a sense of horror that swept over his face, so frightened that it seemed as if his soul had flown away from his body in an instant.

It wasn't until a long time later that there was a gurgling sound in his throat, and then he looked up at me and then at Hades, and asked in a trembling voice, "What...... How could there be two mes? How could there be two ......?"

After asking, seeing that I and the young man were silent, he seemed to notice something in an instant.

Then his whole face twisted.

Terrifyingly, as this layer of fear deepened on his face, an indescribable and astonishing change began to appear in his body.

A face that was originally haggard but still delicate suddenly made a soft noise almost at the moment when I blinked. Because from the forehead to the chin, the face was suddenly covered with shards of glass, and the left forehead had not been cut off a quarter by something, and the flesh and blood were so blurred that it was almost impossible to distinguish the facial features.

His body was scarred everywhere. The situation was so bad, but Yan Xiaofeng didn't seem to notice this at all, and he didn't feel the pain at all, he just looked at the young man in a daze, and after a while, he raised his hand with only three fingers left and stretched it out in front of his eyes to look, he was stunned again, and then pushed the car door and hurriedly wanted to run out.

But where can it compare to the speed that the young man has been preparing for a long time.

It seemed that Yan Xiaofeng had expected such a move, and before he could go out, the young man slapped his fingers in the rearview mirror, and then gently pulled back, and saw Yan Xiaofeng as if he was being pulled back violently by a huge force, and he hit his head on the back of the driver's seat almost without any room for resistance.

Then he stretched out his backhand and pressed Yan Xiaofeng's head, forcing him to curl up on the base and not move. Seeing that he was struggling in vain, he couldn't help laughing and said, "What are you running, looking for death?"

"It's already dead!How else can I die?!"

This sentence probably used up all Yan Xiaofeng's courage and strength, so after roaring, his whole body was paralyzed in an instant, and he no longer struggled, only covered his face and cried bitterly: "I'm dead...... He's dead...... I'm dead......"

Looking at him like this, it's hard for me to put into the right words how sad it feels.

I never knew that I was already dead, and suddenly I saw my corpse appear in front of my eyes in an extremely terrible posture, and after being frightened, I didn't have time to digest it, and watched myself change into exactly the same appearance as the corpse.

This abrupt and tragic reality is far more terrible than death itself.

Then frightened, then despairing, yet powerless to mourn......

It turned into a kind of compromise like ashes, and in the end, it could only be vented through the most useless tears, and then curled up there to resign itself to fate.

It's so sad that I can't look at it directly, and I don't even dare to listen to the low and suppressed sobs that I can't suppress anymore.

However, all this seemed to be blind to the young man, he looked at Yan Xiaofeng, but he couldn't find the slightest expression of his feelings in his calm eyes, but the poor policeman cried, and then said: "Huangquan came to guide you, you hid from it for a few days and nights, but I don't know that if you are a day and a half late, your soul will be silently devoured by something in this mountain, this is not looking for death, what is it." ”

"How the did I know that I was picking something up from Yellow Springs??and picking me up??If I hadn't touched this thing, if I hadn't tried to avoid it, I'd die??"

"If you think about it again, did you really die because you ran into it and avoided it?"

"What else do you think?!"

After asking, he stopped sobbing and looked up at the young man with his bloodshot eyes, but suddenly trembled, and then fell silent.

Excitement meets unhappiness, probably a kind of prostration-like powerlessness, especially in the face of a person like the Underworld.

He looked at Yan Xiaofeng's desperate appearance quietly, and smiled at him quietly without saying a word.

Somehow, the smile reminded me of the first time I met him.

The death-like essence hidden under the cloak of a person, the calm expression contrasted with Yan Xiaofeng's desperate and irritable appearance, and there was a chill that was so indifferent that it made people tremble slightly.

Fortunately, the tone of voice was not as far away as his eyes, and after seeing Yan Xiaofeng's stiff silence, he said softly: "You think about it again." ”

The gentle and peaceful voice seemed to have a strange soothing effect, which not only made me glance at him quietly, but also made Yan Xiaofeng raise his head to look at him again, his eyes flickering slightly.

After a few moments, he gasped, and his body curled up even tighter.

It was so tight that he almost stuffed himself under the car, and after a while, he barely raised his head and muttered, "...... When I think about it, I seem to have fainted shortly after entering the mountain...... So ......"

"So?"

"So it didn't take long for me to lose control of the car and let it rush down the mountain road and crash directly into the tree......," he said, glancing at the old tree whose trunk had been torn down the slope, and his shoulders shook again, as if he could not imagine the scene. “...... When I came to my senses, I saw the animal in the middle of the road...... I don't have any impression of what happened before, so I always thought it was ......" Speaking of this, with a hint of confusion on his face, he frowned at the young man: "But it obviously chased me last night, why didn't it take me away at that time?"

"Because someone doesn't want you to be taken away by it, they're interfering with it all the time. ”

"Interference?" Hearing this, he couldn't help but feel confused, Yan Xiaofeng looked at the young man in a daze, and asked incomprehensibly: "...... Why?"

I'd like to know why.

Why would someone secretly obstruct a Yellow Spring, trying to interfere with it to take away a lost ghost? It sounds puzzling.

But before he could answer, suddenly there was a clanging sound outside the car window.

Thin and tactful, low and soft, an extremely moving wave of sound, which made me immediately look in the direction it was floating from.

It's not because I'm fascinated by this beautiful sound, but because it's exactly the sound of the piano that I heard when I first passed through the Chaotian Gate, and I thought it was my hallucination.

Who would have thought that at a glance, the player they saw was even more unreal than the sound itself.

Because it is a "person" who is more deceptive than the sound itself. 166 Reading Network
