Chapter 15: The Fog Crisis

[It's all you...... It's all because of you!!]

A hysterical roar tore at the heartbeat, and the silhouette of a woman loomed in the red.

[You killed him...... You wicked obstacle!!]

No...... No...... Not me!!

His eyes trembled and moved down, but he only saw the little hands in front of him red with blood, and when he looked further, he only saw a man lying at his feet, covered in blood and motionless.

Father...... Father......?

[Why did I give birth to such a wicked obstacle as you!!!...... my life My Everything...... It's all ruined by you!!]

Rebuke and curse came to the heart, and the woman's voice filled her mind.

[Forever...... Never let me see you again!!]

"No ——!!"

Jiang Yao opened his eyes suddenly, grabbed his chest, and gasped for breath.

The trembling of the fingertips still did not subside, the memory that was deliberately hidden churned again after the baptism of nightmares, and the shadow that wanted to be forgotten but could not get rid of it was still like a dormant poisonous snake even after ten years, and from time to time it launched a fatal attack on Jiang Yao's heart.

"Hmm......" Jiang Yao held down his beating heart, took a few deep breaths, and finally relieved himself after a while, only to find that he was alone in the dark tea room at this time, and the original lilac sky outside the window has also turned dark blue, obviously a long time has passed.

"How did I fall asleep...... What time is it?" Jiang Yao reflexively wanted to take out his mobile phone to check the time, but suddenly remembered that he was in a different space, and his mobile phone had long been out of order. He struggled to get up from his seat and looked around, holding back the pain in his head, but saw no figure.

"Nine teeth...... Are you there?" Jiang Yao tried to shout twice, pushed open the door and walked out of the tea room, only to see the garden outside in the mist, a faint bloody aura mixed with the fog and dispersed, no people, no lights, only the silver yin and yang twin stars in the sky overhead.

What's the deal with this smell? Where have all the people gone?

Jiang Yao immediately became vigilant, and the visibility around him was so low that Jiang Yao couldn't make out the surroundings, so he planned to retreat to the tea room first to think about the long term, but when he turned around, he found that the door of the tea room behind him had closed automatically, and no matter how much he pushed it, he couldn't move at all.

Bad......

The strange situation made Jiang Yao's nerves tense again, and he tried to stabilize his mind, reaching out and pinching his thigh.

The real pain made Jiang Yao's chaotic brain sober up a little in an instant, and while he was on guard, he followed his memory and touched the outside of this open-air garden.

A faint light sowed down from the twin stars in the sky, covering the mist with a layer of silver, and in addition to his own shadow, there were only some hazy shadows of trees swaying gently, like ghosts in some horror movies. But Jiang Yao didn't have the heart to be suspicious, his natural keen intuition had already sniffed out a hint of danger, and at this moment, he suddenly heard a faint call to pierce the fog and float from behind him.

【Little ......】

Jiang Yao paused abruptly and looked back.

The thick fog was still obscured in front of him, but Jiang Yao could still feel that behind the thick fog, there seemed to be a person standing there, silently watching him.

The voice...... Be......!?

A familiar feeling instantly reminded Jiang Yao of a person, and at this time, the voice came faintly again, but this time it was really heard.

【Xiao Ya...... You're here......]

Shaw...... Xiao Yuan!?

Jiang Yao's expression was grim, and the moment he recognized the voice, he raised his foot and rushed out in the direction where the voice came from!

The entangled fog hindered Jiang Yao's vision, but could not hinder Jiang Yao's footsteps, and after stumbling and running a few steps, Jiang Yao suddenly found that a tall and thin figure appeared faintly not far ahead.

"Xiao Yuan...... is that you?"

Jiang Yao tried to shout, carefully groping his way through the fog to try to get close to the figure, but no matter how he walked, the figure that seemed not far away always kept a certain distance from him, and the familiar voice never sounded again.

Jiang Yao was a little anxious in his heart, but at this time, he suddenly stumbled under his feet, and his center of gravity was unstable and he staggered down, and at the moment when he fell, a strong wind suddenly whistled against his scalp, hitting him where he was before, and suddenly the sound of a stone slab breaking rose to the sky.

Someone sneak attack!!

The moment this thought flashed, Jiang Yao's body reacted automatically, he quickly shrunk his body and rolled out to the side, and at the same time reached out to touch the necklace around his neck, but found that he could only touch the empty hanging rope, and then he remembered that the only "electric light stone" that he could rely on had been shattered as early as the night of the villa, and he no longer had any weapons to defend himself at this time.

Jiang Yao secretly shouted that it was not good, but the attack would not end because of this, and then several strong winds cut through the thick fog like sharp arrows, and shot towards Jiang Yao with a roar!

Jiang Yao, whose vision was blocked, couldn't see what was flying, but with his keen hearing, he still narrowly dodged these attacks, and in the process of dodging, he touched a huge rockery, so he immediately took the opportunity to hide in.

"Bang Bang ——!"

Just entered the covering rockery, and the two attacks hit the mouth of the rockery cave with Jiang Yao's body, and at this time Jiang Yao found that the flying was not a bullet or other murder weapon, but like a stream of air, but the momentum of this air flow does not lose bullets, in case it is not a joke to be hit.

Jiang Yao was shocked and suspicious, but he didn't dare to rashly walk out of the rockery from the original exit again, so he could only grope inside the rockery like a blind man, trying to find another way out. However, as he touched it, he suddenly touched something strange.

The touch in his hand was uneven, and it looked like the material of the cloth when he touched it, but there seemed to be a hard strip-like object under the fabric, and then he touched it along the strip, and the cloth covered on the outside slid down, and Jiang Yao's hand directly touched the sticky surface of the thing inside.

This is...... Bone!?

Jiang Yao suddenly felt nauseous, he took two steps back suddenly, and at the same time, he suddenly noticed that his ankle seemed to have slipped over a cold object, and the touch was like a poisonous snake circling in the dark, which made Jiang Yao's scalp explode in an instant!

"Boom ——!"

With a loud bang, the rockery stone wall above Jiang Yao's head was split horizontally, and the huge airflow instantly dispersed most of the surrounding fog, and also shook Jiang Yao's whole person out of the rockery, under the illumination of the double star light, and at this time, Jiang Yao saw clearly what he had just touched.

I saw a skeleton wrapped in a dark blue uniform scattered on the ground, bloody mucus attached to the broken dry bones, which was terrifying, and what was even more terrifying was that those skeletons were pierced by rattans with thick bowl mouths, and those rattans were still wriggling like octopus tentacles, all over the inside of the rockery, obviously feeling that this was the one who had just crossed the ankles.

"Hungry Demon Vine"!

The moment he saw that thing, Jiang Yao's mind crossed such a name, he had heard the "demon old woman" mention, legend has it that in the deep no-man's land of the Great Xing'an Mountains, there is such a man-eating plant, its vines are wrapped in dense fine teeth, but any creature is entangled by it, it will be eaten up in an instant, like a hungry ghost. Jiang Yao didn't believe it before, but now this thing in front of him is not a "hungry ghost demon vine", what is it?!

In an instant, Jiang Yao's cold sweat came down, if he hadn't been shocked out by the air flow just now, he would probably have been gnawed into a white bone, but at the same time that Jiang Yao was stunned, the previous air attack came one after another. Jiang Yao didn't dare to approach the range of the "Hungry Ghost Demon Vine", so he could only turn around and dodge in the opposite direction, and at this moment, he suddenly found that there were many mutilated figures crawling on the garden floor after the fog had cleared.

I saw that the corpses in dark blue uniforms were scattered all over the garden, blood seeping into the soil of the garden below, and the bloody aura became more and more unscrupulous due to the lack of fog cover, and at this time, Jiang Yao suddenly found that the corpse closest to him seemed to be very familiar.

Her long black hair had been soaked in blood, and the eyes on her delicate face had become cloudy, and the person in front of her was clearly standing in front of her not long ago, but at this time she was no longer angry.

Cloud...... Yunlan!?

At this time, Jiang Yao's mood could no longer be described by the word "shock", the Holy Land outside the world that was originally thought to be absolutely safe was washed in blood in a blink of an eye, and those "Spirit Divine Envoys" who claimed to be capable people and strangers had been slaughtered, here...... What the hell is going on!? By the way, and the figure I saw earlier......

Jiang Yao suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly turned his head to look in the direction where the figure of "Xiao Yuan" was before.

The figure was still standing firmly in the shadows not far away, and its face was difficult to distinguish, but Jiang Yao soon found that the figure's originally tall and thin body began to slowly expand.

Jiang Yao looked at the gradually distorted figure in disbelief, but he could only watch as the other party swelled more and more, and finally changed into a strange shape—a shape that could not belong to a human.

"Demon ...... Demon ......?"

Jiang Yao trembled and spit out two words, the situation in front of him instantly reminded him of the nightmare he experienced in the villa in the West District that night, but before the words fell, two air currents were like sharp blades stabbing towards him, and a big hole suddenly appeared on Jiang Yao's chest, and the blood that spread out dyed his white shirt blood red in an instant.

"Hmm!" Jiang Yao endured the sharp pain in his heart and rolled towards the stone pile on the side, but before he could catch his breath, two more air currents split the stone pile where he was hiding, and knocked him to the ground again, and the gravel smashed his body, but this time, Jiang Yao really couldn't get up.

Two roots...... No, three ribs were broken, and the calf bones were not in good condition, so if it goes on like this...... I really have to die here!

The tumbling qi and blood continued to boil in Jiang Yao's chest, and the blood flowed down his forehead, slowly seeping into his pupils, and when he blinked and closed his eyes, Jiang Yao suddenly saw a shadow in the blood.

I saw that behind the twisted and swollen "demon", a petite girl figure quietly appeared not far away, looming in the fog.
