Chapter 50: The Water Falls, the Stone Emerges (Part 1)

"Isn't it good for us to do this?" said Honju Kosuzu worriedly, following behind Aqiu Tsukada, "It would be bad if it was discovered." Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"What's so bad?" asked with a wicked smile, "Even if it's discovered, what can it do?"

"Your family will go crazy first, and then the whole person will fry, and when we go back...... Oh my God, I can't imagine that......"

"Then let them go crazy!" Ah Qiu pouted, "Even I sometimes want to be willful!"

"Can I say that I am worthy of Ah Qiu?"

Seeing Ah Qiu's attitude, Xiao Ling didn't say anything more, just smiled bitterly and shook his head-this great talent who works in poetry and books actually has the temper of a deep lady.

No, it's not so much the temper of the eldest lady as the stubbornness of the intellectuals.

Ah Qiu and Xiao Ling were walking quickly through the forest towards the Lake of Mist. This dangerous forest, and the mansion with demons in the distance, should not have been a place where the two unarmed little girls could enter and exit at will. However, Ah Qiu did not come entirely empty-handed.

Strictly speaking, her weapon is not in her hand, but in her mindβ€”the vast reserve of knowledge is the sharpest sword she has at hand.

"Suzu, let's hurry up! Let's try to get home before sunset, or we'll have to spend the night there. ”

Aqiu said, taking a big step forward, stepping on a puddle of stagnant water, and the muddy water that stirred up stained the hem of the kimono, but she didn't care.

"Okay!"

Hearing this, Xiao Ling hurriedly trotted forward a few steps, so as to shorten the distance between herself and Ah Qiu, which was getting bigger and bigger.

The roads in the Enchanted Forest are complicated and full of potholes, and it is wise for the two of them to devote all their energy to rushing now, but Xiao Ling has been looking left and right because of something, and she has not been looking at the road well since just now, and she almost fell on her head.

"That...... Eventually, she couldn't help herself, and said, "Do you know that guy in black?"

"Huh, what's in black?"

"It's the guy in the back! a guy in black and a strange mask. ”

"Back?"

Ah Qiu turned around and saw the "guy in black" that Suzu had said. As Suzu said, the man, dressed in black and wearing a strange beak mask, followed them unhurriedly, neither too far forward nor intent on leaving.

In Xiao Ling's eyes, it was just a strange passerby, there were not many roads that could be walked in this forest, and it was not uncommon for them to be on the same road.

But what Aqiu saw was something completely different. The moment she saw that person, she only felt a "buzz" in her head, and her consciousness was only blank, which made her involuntarily stop and stand there in a daze.

"Ah Qiu, what's wrong? Why don't you leave?"

Seeing that Ah Qiu stopped, Xiao Ling hurriedly went up to ask, but didn't notice that the stranger who had been walking behind them also stopped with Ah Qiu at this time.

The two of them, one tall and one short, stood on this dim, narrow forest path, facing each other, staring at each other without saying a word.

Ah Qiu is trying to remember, from her infinite memory bank, to find the information she can use. Eventually, she remembered the purpose of the mask, the identity of the person, the meaning of that behavior, and, at the same time, the way to deal with the situation.

There's only one word for this method.

"Run!"

Ah Qiu took Xiao Ling's hand and ran away, using all the energy that her weak body could muster, and rushed towards the front of the road.

"Ehβ€”β€”?"

Suzu didn't figure out the situation at all. In her eyes, the two of them walked and walked, and suddenly found a mysterious passerby, and after Ah Qiu looked at him for a few seconds, he began to run away inexplicably.

What the hell is going on? The man in black was so fierce that he frightened the most knowledgeable barnyard in the world, Ah Qiu, and fled in a hurry?

"Hah...... Ha...... Pander to...... Ah Qiu, what the hell ......is this" While desperately gasping, Xiao Ling squeezed out a few words from her mouth. She didn't expect Ah Qiu to say anything clearly, but she still couldn't help but ask.

"Don't ask, run!"

Ah Qiu spat out only two short words. She needed to run as hard as she could, but she couldn't mess with the rhythm of her breathing by talking.

"Good...... Okay!"

As in the past, Xiaoling chose to trust Ah Qiu. On the one hand, she knew that Ah Qiu would not harm her, and on the other hand, even she began to notice the abnormality.

The man in black, who should have been left behind by the two of them, once again narrowed the distance between the three of them, and this time, it was no longer as simple as "tracking at a distance".

This time, the guy rushed towards the two of them at an incredible speed, and the distance of about 100 meters that had been opened up by starting ahead of time was shortened to the point of being within reach in a matter of seconds.

Suzu could already hear the footsteps behind her clearly, and she now finally understood Aqiu's thoughts, and at the same time realized a terrible truth: there was no point in running away.

The other party is undoubtedly not human, and it is obviously unrealistic to race against this inhuman creature just by relying on the two girls who are not good at sports.

But she had no choice but to keep running until she was caught by the devil behind her. Fortunately, she still has Ah Qiu by her side.

"It's here!"

Ah Qiu shouted, but stopped where he was. Xiaoling didn't brake the car for a while, and collided with Ah Qiu, almost knocking her to the ground.

"Ah Qiu, don't stop, if you don't keep running......"

After Suzu stabilized herself, she anxiously tugged at Aqiu's clothes, trying to start running again. Although I don't know what Ah Qiu's intentions are, Xiao Ling is sure that standing here like this is definitely not a solution.

"No...... No need......" Ah Qiu said breathlessly, "Look at that guy." ”

Only then did Xiao Ling realize that the guy who was so fast could have taken advantage of the few seconds they stopped, but he didn't.

Why, exactly?

Xiao Ling turned around and saw the man in black who was close at hand, and couldn't help but gasp.

It was close, very close, and the guy only had to reach out to touch them both. In addition, Suzu also noticed that the man in black was different from the two girls who were panting, and barely took a breath.

He didn't even breathe!

"Why ...... He"

"He can't move his hand," Aqiu said, gesturing straight up, "Look at the top of his head." ”

Xiao Ling raised her head, but was shaken by a direct bright light, and slowed down for a while before opening her eyes again. She saw a blue sky, white clouds, and the midday sun that had just risen overhead.

I don't know if it's because of the out-of-control magic of a thief, or because of the fireworks that a prop shop owner has nothing to do, this impermeable canopy has been opened into a hole, which allows the sunlight to shine through there, on the muddy path, on the bodies of Aqiu and Xiaoling.

This is probably the only place in this vast forest that can receive direct sunlight.

"It's sunshine!" said Suzu excitedly, "he's afraid of the sun!"

"This guy is undoubtedly an undead, vampire, walking corpse, living dead, or some other monster, or something else, and it can't be a living person. Ah Qiu finally took a breath and said calmly, "Do you know how I found out this guy's identity?"

"How?"

"Look at his mask," said Aqiu, pointing to the head of the man in black, "the beak mask that doctors used to wear in medieval Europe, and in the age of plagues, doctors stuffed that long beak with herbs to filter the poisonous air. ”

"But that's not the point," she continued, "the point is, there's no hole on that mask for breathing, which means that this guy doesn't need to breathe at all!"

Xiao Ling did what she said, took a closer look, and sure enough, she found an abnormality. The surface of the metal bird's beak was as smooth as a pebble, and there wasn't even a small hole to breathe through the air! That guy, wearing a suffocation mask, could still run at that speed, it could never be human!

Thinking about it carefully, Xiao Ling even felt a little afraid: she was followed by an undead monster for a long time without knowing it, and if it wasn't for Ah Qiu, she couldn't imagine what would happen.

"So, what do we do now?" Suzu pointed to the key question, "I'm safe for the time being, but how do I escape from under this guy's nose?"

It's definitely not possible to run, they don't have the physical strength anymore, and it's even more unrealistic to fight back, can they only expect reinforcements that happen to pass by?

Thinking about it like this, she suddenly felt that the noisy magician, and the witch who was so poor that she couldn't even pull out a steel hammer, suddenly became very cute.

"I don't know ......"

Ah Qiu said, looking up at the sky. The sun was still on their side for the time being, but it couldn't stay there forever, she knew it.

"Let's wait and see what happens. ”

Waiting, this is also the next strategy in the next policy, and it is better to expect a possible miracle than to rush headlong into despair and die. As for whether the miracle can come, it depends on whether the virtue accumulated by the son of the first eight generations of Yu Ali is enough for her barnyard field to squander.

Fortunately, the good deeds accumulated by those eight people are really huge.

"Whoa!"

With a goosebump-inducing sound of flesh being torn apart by brute force, the black-clad man's head fell to the ground without warning, and his bones reached Suzu's feet.

"Babble, ahhh

The girl's screams resounded throughout the forest.

"Uh...... I look like you need help...... Am I doing something wrong?"

After the body of the man in black fell to the ground, the figure of the young man standing behind him appeared in front of the two.

"No, you're not doing anything wrong at all, it's better to ......" Ah Qiu pinched the bridge of his nose, trying not to look directly at the headless corpse and the bloody head, "Thank you so much for coming to your rescue, Mr. Nalan. ”
