Chapter 07: The Church (2)
With a bang, a long-haired head was instantly knocked out. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Even the wrists of the two female water ghosts on the shore didn't know when, but they stood up automatically, and with ten fingers, they quickly crawled towards their feet.
Yan Feng's eyes were quick, he picked up the scalpel and stabbed the back of one of the wrists hard, and the wrist was immediately frozen on the ground, and he turned around to solve the other one, but it escaped.
"They'll be back later, come with me." Chen Yu walked at the forefront and led them away from the lake.
Sure enough, in less than a minute, the head and the other wrist that had been knocked off reappeared.
"Run——" Chen Yu shouted. Then the speed of the run increased. No one wanted to be left alone, and the three of them ran forward with all their might.
They ran hard in front, and the head of the female water ghost chased desperately behind.
Yan Feng originally wanted to stop and solve them, but was immediately stopped by Chen Yu's words.
"Ignore them, we're almost there, and the church is in front of us." Chen Yu stretched out his hand and pointed to a blue and white building in front of them to show them.
"Why?" Yan Feng was very skeptical: "Could it be that they will automatically let us go?"
"Of course not!" Chen Yu immediately denied: "It's just that when the sun goes down, their ability is three times that of the day, and we can't win at all, so let's fight them head-on."
"It's here, let's go in first." Chen Yu continued.
He had barely stood in front of the church gate when the door opened automatically.
As soon as the three of them entered the church, the door closed automatically.
"Whew, it's finally safe." Chen Yu completely relaxed at this time.
"Oh my God, I can't believe that there are so many people here?" Yan Feng was very surprised, he didn't expect that there were nearly thirty~fifty people gathered in the church.
"yes, that's amazing." Xia Cen was also taken aback.
The two of them worked desperately, and finally escaped from the hands of the murderer, escaped by boat, and unfortunately met a female water ghost, and almost lost their lives.
I thought I was isolated, but I never thought that there were so many people in this church? Why don't you make the two of them staggered?
"Scared, huh?" Chen Yu was not at all surprised by their reaction.
I think I was not like this at the beginning?
"Hmm." The two had a tacit understanding and nodded at the same time.
"Here, there's just a seat here, let's sit down and talk." Chen Yu specially chose a more inconspicuous corner and took the lead in sitting down.
"Let's eat first, let's talk as we eat." Chen Yu reached out and took out an apple from his bag and took a big bite.
Seeing Chen Yu eating with relish, the two of them could only stare at him and swallow his saliva.
"Huh? Don't you have anything to eat?" Chen Yu realized this.
"Nope." The two shook their heads silently.
"So, yes, for you." Chen Yu was very generous, and immediately reached into his bag and took out two more apples and divided one among them.
"By the way, how long have you been here?" Chen Yu asked while eating.
"Today is the first day." Yan Feng replied with an apple in his mouth.
"Me too." Xia Cen chimed in.
"It's no wonder," Chen Yu smiled, "On the first day in the Valley of Ten Thousand Evils, just running for your life is tiring enough, where is there still time to eat?"
"And how long have you been here?" Yan Feng asked him rhetorically.
"Today is the fourth day," Chen Yu finished speaking, his eyes suddenly dimmed, and his expression was a little sentimental, "The uncle who was originally with me unfortunately died yesterday afternoon."
"If it weren't for my uncle's help these days, I don't think I would be alive today." Chen Yu's eyes were red, and he spoke in a somewhat nasal voice. "Ah, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said such sentimental things."
"Oh yes, let me explain to you first, this is the only shelter in the Valley of Ten Thousand Evils, and these people you see in front of you are all suffering the same as us, and for some reason, they were brought in here for some reason."
"It's just that although the church is a refuge, it has a time limit, and the protection it can provide is limited to the time after the sun goes down and before dawn the next day."
"Clams? Why? Wouldn't that be the same as seeing the light and dying?" Xia Cen suddenly came to this sentence, which made everyone burst into laughter.
"Ha~ see the light die?" Chen Yu couldn't help laughing: "That's a good point, but it seems to be the same way. As soon as the day dawns, the protection mechanism immediately fails."
"Chen Yu, what if we stay here after dawn?" Yan Feng asked suddenly.
"Don't worry, if you still want to stay alive, you won't be able to rush out when the time comes." Chen Yu deliberately sold Guan Zi and didn't say it.
"Really?" Xia Cen heard this and began to worry again.
"If you don't believe it, try it tomorrow, won't you know?" Chen Yu didn't want to explain more.
Anyway, anything that happens in the Valley of All Evils cannot be judged by common sense, and you can only rely on your own experience. Because, what will happen tomorrow, no one knows at all.
"Another point, you have to pay special attention, you have to take care of your own meals, no one will prepare them for you, or kindly share the food for you, you know, everything you can eat here is hard-won." Chen Yu also admonished them in a particularly accentuated tone.
"In addition, there is a large kitchen at the back of the church where everyone can cook food and use it freely if needed."
"That's why I met you by the lake?" Yan Feng suddenly interjected a completely irrelevant sentence.
"Yes," I saw Chen Yu nod slowly, and then said, "Originally, I was going to go diving there to see if I could be lucky enough to catch a few small fish and come back to add vegetables, but I met you unexpectedly."
"I'm curious," Xia Cen interjected, "Where did you get the oxygen tank?"
"Oh, that's what my uncle left me, he's a diving instructor," Chen Yu paused, "He told me that on the day he came here, he was practicing diving with his students, who knows, only halfway through the dive, the surrounding scene suddenly changed, and it was completely unexpected."
"Ha, it seems that everyone is in a similar situation here," Chen Yu looked helpless, and could only smile bitterly: "I'm the same, on the way home, it seems that I suddenly walked into a space tunnel, and in a blink of an eye, I arrived here."
"The most puzzling thing is that this place called the Valley of Ten Thousand Evils has never heard of it at all, and even how to go back is a big problem, which makes people want to cry without tears?"
"Well, that's right," Yan Feng was also helpless, "The most troublesome thing now is that I don't know what to do to escape from here, and I don't have a direction in my head at all."
"Hmm, Chen Yu, are you familiar with the terrain of the entire Valley of Ten Thousand Evils?" Xia Cen, who had been silent for a while, suddenly spoke.
"Not very familiar," Chen Yu smiled apologetically, "What's the matter, why did you suddenly ask this?"
"Hmm...... What shall I say?" Xia Cen lowered his head and thought, sorting out the thoughts in his head a little.
"Let's put it this way, when you were chatting just now, it occurred to me that if everyone came from different places and were scattered in every corner of the Valley of Ten Thousand Evils, then if we could understand the terrain and surroundings of the entire Valley of Ten Thousand Evils, would it be possible to find an exit to escape?" Xia Cen spoke his mind.
"Ah, yes," it dawned on the two of them, "how come we didn't think of that?"
"Also, no one knows how big the Valley of Ten Thousand Evils is," Xia Cen continued, "and what exactly is needed to get this information, then we have to think about it seriously."
"Well, that's a good question," Yan Feng glanced at Xia Cen approvingly, "I have a proposal, why don't we go around here tomorrow to check it out, maybe there will be some new discoveries."
"Good idea, I'm for it." Chen Yu immediately seconded the proposal.
"I'm for it too." Xia Cen smiled and nodded.
"But Xia Cen, if there is no accident, I will definitely climb up and down tomorrow, your feet—" Yan Feng looked at her with some concern. At this moment, on her ankles, there are purple five-paw prints. "No problem, right?"
"It's still a little painful, but it should be fine," Xia Cen smiled bitterly, "By the way, Chen Yu, how did you know about the church?"
"Are you referring to the church protection?" Chen Yu looked at her.
"Yes." Xia Cen nodded.
"Actually, to put it bluntly, from beginning to end, all these things were told to me by my uncle, plus the results of my own personal verification." Unexpectedly, as soon as he said this, Chen Yu's face flushed slightly.
"Oh, I see," now the mystery in Xia Cen's mind has finally been solved, "So, does everyone else know about it?"
"I guess I have some bottom in my heart," Yan Feng interjected, "Otherwise, how could they automatically come back here at night to take refuge?"
"That's right, if that's the case, then it's weird." In Xia Cen's head, there are still some questions that he still hasn't figured out.
"Why?" This time, in other words, looking at the flowers in the mist, "I'm about to be fooled by you."
"Hmm... I just don't understand why this refuge church was deliberately built in this valley of all evils, where the slightest carelessness can cost a small life?"
"Ha, it's not easy," Chen Yu felt that she was asking a lot of questions, "Isn't it just to protect more people who are alive?"
"Is that really the case?" Xia Cen asked him rhetorically.
"Ah, or else?" Chen Yu tilted his head to one side and shrugged his shoulders.
"Well, if you really want to protect more people who are alive, then why make this church a permanent refuge, why deliberately set a period of protection, isn't it a contradiction to do so?"
"Well, you're right, if you think about it, if the original intention of the church was to protect people, then, once you enter the church, you should be completely protected. But now it's really strange that we're forced to leave here after dawn," Yan Feng pondered for a while, "Unless...... Is there some purpose or conspiracy to do it on purpose?"
