29. Night insects
Ru Sanshui has not encountered this situation for half a year. In the middle of the night, he was enveloped in soul mist, and unconsciously left the room and floated on a high place.
It's a lookout with soldiers standing guard. And Ru Sanshui stood silently on the eaves, with a higher perspective than the soldiers. If it was last year, even if the lights in the shop were extinguished, there would be lights in the city all night. But now that a stricter curfew has been imposed, there are no other lights except for the official lanterns set up at every street corner, which are under the responsibility of the night patrol team.
Due to her own daytime situation, she expected to see this scene when she opened her eyes at night. There was no initial fear, just helplessness. If others would still appreciate the immensity of the dome at this moment, Ru Sanshui was already accustomed to the starlight at night, and she just looked around before returning to the Overseer's Mansion.
Maybe it's because of the soul separation, if she is awake in the state of soul release, her ear and eye power will be amplified, but fortunately, the light is weak at night, and the sound is very little, so there is no great stimulation for the senses.
It's just that you'll hear some chacha che sounds, like dream talk or rat squeaks, and if you don't choose the right route back, you'll hear things you shouldn't hear.
But when I looked around today, I saw an abnormal light light, which was very subtle, and the soldiers on the lookout would also regard it as the night watch lantern of the official family, and directly ignore it. But the lights are in the streets, they are civilian houses, and the houses should be the areas with the strictest curfew.
The patrol team has time to walk the streets and alleys, and they can't look at the whole city, but the lookout sentry can.
Luzhou is not the capital, even if Liang Jue uses military funds to add five, there are only eight lookouts in total. If a distant sentry can't see that little light, a nearby lookout can also see it, and the problem should be dealt with immediately after discovering it.
Ru Sanshui identified the direction, the east three squares, the nearest lookout is the city defense lookout post of the east city gate, and the beacon tower of the east city wall.
It's the place where Xue Jinyu is in charge again.
She planned to rush to Dongcheng to check the situation before going back, even if it was not someone who was plotting the night light, there was a possibility that the rat stealing the lamp would cause a fire. She did not restrain the soul mist, but took advantage of its lightness, not following the direction of the street, taking the straightest route from the eaves and rooftops.
On the way, passing through two squares and three cities, when passing near the camp of the patrol camp, I suddenly heard a dog barking in the camp, then the sound of people running and shouting, and then there was a movement similar to something very heavy falling, and the shouting continued.
Ru Sanshui looked at the place where the lights were lit in Dongsanfang, then looked at this side, weighed for a moment, and decided to deal with the problem at hand first. The soul mist followed her own will, pulling her to float above the camp one by one, and it surrounded her like silk.
She carefully stabilized her posture and looked down at the barracks, where she saw the candles lit by the soldiers. The soldiers who were on patrol during the day were resting, but they were also awakened by the noise, and looked through the doors and windows to find the source of the sound.
The accident occurred in a bunk closest to the barracks exercise ground, and the weapons rack in the exercise ground fell to the ground, and five soldiers rushed out of the bunk without wearing their outer clothes and only wearing inner liners. Some were armed with swords, others with bare hands.
In the eyes of others, they slashed at the air with their eyes closed, stumbling and screaming in pain, as if they were fighting something, but there was no wound except for their own stumbling scrapes.
And in Ru Sanshui's eyes, they were being besieged by a kind of black-purple flying insect, about thirty or forty of them, and it was not the body that was biting but the soul. Ru Sanshui can see through their shells that the black soul and the white spirit are struggling.
At the same time that Ru Sanshui saw this situation, someone had already been eaten up and fell down, leaving the black soul in his body. For Yin insects, the yang spirit is the essence of feeding, followed by the yin soul, there are too many souls of people here, and the insects turn to fly to those who probe to see the excitement.
If you look closely, those insects are about the size of a palm, with a head like a bird's beak, a tail like a poisonous scorpion, and wings like a dragonfly, which is black and emits a purple shimmer, and every time you flap your wings, you will shake off the purple powder, and after sucking the white spirit, the purple light will become more eye-catching.
As soon as he found out that it was a soul-eating thing, Ru Sanshui felt a familiar sense of unease. But it occurred to her that if the fragile limbs of the living could not hurt these insects, they would eat the souls, and in turn, only the souls could compete with them.
Courageously, with her mind, she transformed her soul mist into thin threads, quickly entwining the flying insects, controlling them, and pulling them away from the soldiers.
The flying insects wrangled and cracked into more and smaller flying insects, densely attacking the things that dared to bind them, and Ru Sanshui quickly withdrew the soul mist.
Fingernail-sized insects gathered together, from a vague oval formation, to form a woman's face......
The woman's face was raised, and she smiled hollowly at Ru Sanshui.
"The evil ghost Rakshasa, the female name is Rakshasa private, the appearance is beautiful, the soul eater, and the human flesh is eaten. ”
Ru Sanshui is full of spirits, that is Rakshasa...... Could it be that she came to Luzhou with herself? Then why didn't she appear for a long time, and found her again in the past two years?
Or is there a Rakshasa in Luzhou?
Without having time to think about it, Ru Sanshui hurriedly landed, using his soul mist condensation as a rope, first pulling the people who had fallen to the ground to her feet, and then dragging the other four people, wanting them to stay away from the center where the insects were flying.
The human face was still gathering, gradually forming a monster with a scorpion tail, the wings were more like flies, and there was no hair or fluff on the body, but it was pitch black and smooth, emitting a dark purple light, and finally a burning purple light appeared in the pupils.
The foul smell almost rushed to Ru Sanshui's face. Ru Sanshui's eyes flickered, and the soul mist that pulled the last person suddenly loosened. The dog, trembling in the corner, barked like madness in even greater fright, and the Rakshasa briefly looked away.
There were some vivid images that were conveyed into Ru Sanshui's mind, as if she had seen it with her own eyes.
It was a very low vantage point, in a barren meadow, the sky was very dark, and there were some purple bugs flying around. At the foresight was a carriage, and the owner of the sight hurried out of the meadow and shook off the biting insects.
The carriage got closer and closer, the curtain was lifted, and Ru Sanshui saw himself.
"Okay, aren't you a little sleepy? Let's sleep on my sister's lap for a while, and we'll be home soon." ”
The vision dimmed.
Then the picture that appeared again was in the alley of the Liang family, still running, and there was a hazy shouting behind it. Suddenly his eyes rose, his running stopped, as if he was being picked up, and when his perspective turned, Ru Sanshui saw Liang Yunshu, who was talking anxiously, but couldn't hear clearly.
The vision dimmed again, and the last picture that appeared was up, and only the black roof of the beam could be seen, and Ru Sanshui heard the weak child's voice: "Sister......"
The picture completely dissipated, and Ru Sanshui's heart was cold to the bottom.
This is the Rakshasa that killed Bao, it followed, it followed from Guyu to Luzhou, in order to completely finish off the prey it fancied.
