"Qingque, look, that kid ......" Yue Qianlong raised his hand, and a small figure appeared in the snow again, "This kid seems to be leading us somewhere." ”

"Do you think Jue's disappearance has something to do with him?"

"Qingque, let's follow him first. ”

The two followed the child, but they only saw a hazy back, no matter how they chased after him, they couldn't catch up with the child, and he disappeared from time to time along the way, like a ghost. Yue Qianlong and Meng Qingque both believed that this child was no longer alive, and what they saw in front of them was at most a desolate soul. The two of them entered a place that looked like a tree hole, which was dark and damp, and it was difficult to breathe. The boy did not move, he crouched in a corner in front of him, and in front of him lay a man dressed in moon-white clothes.

"Chitaki, I'll go ahead. ”

The two of them got closer, and the child's figure became clearer and clearer, his small shoulders shaking, and he was letting out an unusual low roar. Meng Qingque had already walked behind him, he swallowed his saliva, and was raising his hand to touch the man's shoulder, but as soon as he touched the fabric, the child suddenly turned around. Meng Qingque was so frightened that he took several steps back, his eyes were round, he was stunned for a few seconds, and after a few seconds, he couldn't hold back anymore, covering his abdomen and vomiting out everything he had eaten yesterday. And Yue Qianlong bit her lower lip tightly, forcing herself to look at the child.

His face was covered in blood, his eyes were frightened and focused, and he was hugging a half-rotten skull, looking like he was sucking the marrow of his brain. The corpse behind him had been torn apart, and it was hard to see any flesh except for skin and bones and some internal organs. Suppressing the surging nausea, Yue Qianlong actually found that the child's face was full of tears, and he chewed, tears kept flowing in his eyes, as if he was extremely unwilling to do these things comparable to beasts.

"Child," said Kochitaki as he tried to walk forward, "what's your name, and why are you here alone?"

"Chitaki, be careful!"

"Don't come here, leave it to me first, don't worry. ”

Meng Qingque froze, he looked at the corpse on the ground, fortunately, the clothes were not Su Jue.

"My name is Yue Qianlong, what's your name?"

The child knelt among the corpses, looking at Yue Qianlong who was slowly approaching, he suddenly trembled and retreated a few steps, and in the panic, the head in his hand just rolled down and stopped at Yue Qianlong's feet. The child's eyes followed the head, he got on all fours, and in a few steps, he crawled under Yue Qianlong and picked up the head and protected it in his arms.

"Don't be afraid, I won't rob you of your things. ”

The child ignored it, but turned and hid beside the corpse. He curled up, burying his whole head in the corpse's clothes, and finally he raised his hand and grabbed the two arms that were left with the bones and wrapped them around his waist. This picture is really weird, but Yue Qianlong doesn't feel scared at all, because the child's eyes are like newborn babies - clean and pure.

"Sister won't hurt you, you don't have to be afraid. But the child's whole body trembled.

Yue Qianlong took out the handkerchief he was carrying and soaked it with water in a water bladder, then stroked the child's calf and said, "Your face is dirty, sister will wipe it clean for you." ”

The child showed one eye, as if a little shaken.

"Come on, soon. Yue Qianlong pulled him up, but the movement of his hand stopped while wiping.

How could this be?

"Chitaki, this kid seems to be ......"

"I can see it. ”

"This is an illusion, it must be an illusion!" Meng Qingque rushed over, picked up the kid and shouted: "Who are you? What the hell are you doing behind your back? What about our Ah Jue? Where did you take Ah Jue, and do you want to confuse us with this human skin? Do you think that if we look like this, we will be soft-handed? Tell me, where is Su Jue?"

"Qingque! Don't do this. ”

"Chitaki, don't worry about this, do you want Ah Jue to be eaten by this monster too?"

"Monster?" the kid finally spoke, "I'm not, not a monster." ”

The two of them were startled, and the voice ...... This is obviously Su Jue's voice!

What's going on? Could it be that Su Jue has become the kid in front of him in a blink of an eye? Or is it really like Meng Qingque guessed, this kid is a mountain spirit, and he deliberately changed into Su Jue's childhood appearance to confuse them?

"Chitaki, I guessed right! He's a youkai. ”

"No, don't ......" The kid shook his head, and his pitiful look really made Yue Qianlong unbearable, "I didn't do anything bad, I never knew you." ”

"Qingque, you might judge whether he is a human or a demon?"

Meng Qingque looked at this person and said, "It looks like a human on the surface, and the pulse looks like a human being, but there are more monsters in the world, and I haven't seen every one of them, maybe there are such monsters that people can't distinguish?"

"I'm not a monster, I'm not!" the child grew more and more excited, and his whole body began to tremble.

"Qingque, you let him go first, and we'll go out to discuss. ”

"Get out, get out, and he'll run away. ”

"There's only one exit here, where can he run?"

"Okay, I'll tie him up first. ”

Meng Qingque tied up the people before walking with Yue Qianlong to the exit, the air here was much better, and there was no rancid smell.

"What do you think? Why do you have to pull me out?"

"That kid is so afraid of you, I'm afraid that if you stay any longer, I'll swallow him alive. ”

"Swallow it alive? Which of us swallows alive is not certain, don't you see him eating people?"

"He may be delirious, there is always something strange about this kid, and his eyebrows are so similar to Xiao Jue, it must not be accidental. ”

"Of course it's not accidental," Meng Qingque smiled, "He just turned into Ah Jue and wanted to confuse us, or could he be Ah Jue's long-lost brother?"

"Since he wants to confuse us, why doesn't he directly become Su Jue's current appearance, but becomes his childhood? Wouldn't this be troublesome? And this child appeared when Su Jue was not missing, what is his purpose in confusing us? I really can't figure out the connection. ”

Meng Qingque thought about it silently, what Yue Qianlong said did make some sense.

"So what do you say?"

"Let's take him with us first. ”

"You want to take this man-eating monster with you?" Meng Qingque rolled his eyes, thinking that Yue Qianlong must be crazy.

"He's a kid, can't the two of us handle one of him?"

Open guns are easy to dodge, hidden arrows are difficult to prevent, this monster has more means, but Meng Qingque can't resist Yue Qianlong, so he has to agree. After getting inside, the child was still lying on the ground obediently, not crying or making trouble, Meng Qingque was about to untie the vines on his body, but suddenly found that something was wrong.

"Chitaki ......"

"How?"

"He, this man is out of breath. ”

"What?" Yue Qianlong immediately checked with Meng Qingque when he heard this.

The child's internal organs were shattered by internal force, and he was killed in an instant, but just now the two of them were guarding the only exit, how did the perpetrator get in?

"Chitaki, this is killing people with internal force, if the murderer's cultivation is high enough, he can use his skills to achieve the purpose of killing people invisibly even outside the tree hole. ”

In other words, the murderer's mouth may still be nearby! After the two understood, they searched for a radius of five miles, but there were still no clues. It seems that this person is just an ordinary child, not a demon. Meng Qingque felt a little guilty, and buried the child and the carrion corpse beside him before leaving.

"What should we do now? The clue is broken when the person is dead, where can we find Xiao Jue?"

Yue Qianlong was confused for a while, and only cared about bowing her head and facing forward, but it didn't take long for Meng Qingque to stab her again.

"Chitaki, look!"

"What?"

"It's Jue!"

Sure enough, there was a young man standing in the snow and mist, judging from the clothes on his body, he was no different from Su Jue.

"Senior brother!" Yue Qianlong ran over and hugged him tightly, shouting, "Where have you been?

"I'm sorry, the snow was too strong just now, and I didn't see your shadow after you went to look for the child, so I didn't dare to look everywhere, so I had to wait for you nearby. ”

Waiting for them nearby? Yue Qianlong looked at the nearby snow field, this place is the landlord they just separated, so Su Jue has been staying in place? It turns out that they are lost?

"You guys just followed that kid?"

"yes, we thought that if we were a kid in front of us, we might find you. ”

"You guys, are you in any danger along the way?"

"What danger can we have?" Meng Qingque said quickly, "It's that kid ......"

"Qingque, since you have found Senior Brother, why do you mention others? We have spent so much time here, so let's hurry up early. ”

"Hurry?"

Yue Qianlong pulled Su Jue forward quickly, what the hell is this person doing? He still hasn't asked, what is the matter with Su Jue's rope mark? Why is the rope mark of the three people invalid for him alone? He was vague just now, and Yue Qianlong also had reservations, could it be that Qianlong was suspicious?

The three of them walked forward for a short time, and suddenly, the steps of the three of them stopped together, and Su Jue stared at the front with round eyes, and even his fingertips became cold. There was the same blood on the snow as before, and they didn't find the injured before and after, and the same saw the dead child in the snow.

"Chitaki, Ah Jue is ......"

"I know, it's gone. "Yue Qianlong walked in front alone.

"Yes, yes, but he was still with me just now, and he was stunned and there was no shadow. ”

The same scene appeared, and Yue Qianlong said, "Qingque, let's follow him again." ”

Everything after that was exactly the same as what they experienced, but this time Yue Qianlong was deliberately following the script. Yes, he felt like it was a script, and everything in this scene was circulating. The child who appeared on the snow was the signal, from the moment he appeared, everything became wrong, and among the three of them, the only one they couldn't grasp was 'Su Jue' who appeared after disappearing. Yue Qianlong faintly felt that they were not alone.
