Volume 1: The Lonely Town Chapter 28: Gambling on Life
On the second day of the paranormal mission, at night, at 6 p.m., in the small town of Crosso.
Hula, hula!
The waning moon loomed among the clouds, and the air cooled rapidly as the night began, and the cold wind suddenly increased after the sun set, and the heart, beating wildly at nightfall, sank to the bottom of the valley with the swaying branches and leaves around it, and shivered to the extreme by the cold wind blowing to the bone.
"Whew! Call! Call! ”
Dada......
In the dark, He Fei was running, running for his life, running from street to street, from one area to another, but he didn't know where he should run or where to flee, let alone find a place to hide, and in the end he could only run around like a headless fly, running aimlessly.
Rushing through the pressure of death to the extreme, desperately struggling in this abandoned deserted town that you can't leave.
Because, it's dark.
The final end has come, or rather......
He Fei's death has arrived!
He had a premonition that he would not be able to see the sun the next day, and tonight was the death date of his He Fei!
The female moth is coming, and the female moth who is no longer restricted by the sun will soon chase after him, come to him, come to kill him, with the female moth's hatred for herself, plus she had also avoided the female moth chase and death trap one after another earlier, it is conceivable that how could the female moth who hated herself to the extreme let herself go? What do you do with yourself after you catch yourself?
Once caught by the female stalk, at that time, He Fei believed that he would not only die, but also die a miserable death, more miserable than anyone else!
However, it is a pity that He Fei has not yet found a way out, and he still has not found a solution to this supernatural incident, and he can only do one thing at present, one thing that makes him desperate.
That is the struggle, the struggle to try to escape in the situation that you know you are going to die, to run away, to struggle in this long night, to the last moment, to the moment when you are killed by the female stalk.
It's desperate and painful, but He Fei has no choice, there is really no way! The other party is a mantis, a spirit with great powers, but he is just a human being, an ordinary person, in the face of this terrible creature that is far beyond human imagination, what else can you do except run? Confrontation will only make you die faster and more miserably.
So, just like that, the desperate He Fei began to run away, and started a dying struggle in this death town controlled by the female stalk, a dying struggle in the real sense.
(Why is this happening?) I tried my best, I really tried my best, I racked my brains to try to find a way out, I tried every means to solve the mystery, but the result was ...... I'm done, I'm done...... )
At this moment, He Fei, who was running non-stop, was like a dead face, and his heart was full of wails, but at this moment, behind him, a chill hit.
Along with the chill, there was a string of wild laughter from women from far and near:
"Hey, hey, hey, hahahahahaha!!"
His body shook suddenly, He Fei turned his head suddenly, and then, with the help of the gloomy moonlight that covered the sky again, He Fei saw a terrifying scene that was enough to make him tremble:
In the field of vision, the wind swept down, mixed with a large number of fallen leaves, and I saw a woman floating in the night in the distance, a woman with a cloak and a wanton laugh, the woman's face was twisted, her hands stretched forward, and her hands as white as paper were also facing straight at herself, and around the woman, there was frost, endless white frost! Everywhere the woman passed, everything along the way was covered with ice, whether it was trees and flowers, the houses on both sides, or even the ground below, without exception, it was covered with frost and spread!
Female moth!
The female moth is really coming! The female scorpion has finally come to kill herself!
And at this moment, in addition to chasing after herself at an incredible speed, the fierce female stalk stared at herself with blood-red eyes full of madness and hatred, and kept repeating a word in her mouth:
"Die! Die! Die!!! ”
"Ahh
Seeing this scene, He Fei's body trembled wildly on the spot, his pupils shrank suddenly, and his irrepressible monstrous fear prompted the young man to scream uncontrollably, out of instinct, out of desire for life, although he knew that he couldn't outrun the other party and knew that he would soon catch himself with the amazing speed of the female moth, but He Fei was still unwilling to stop running and wait for death, when he screamed, he saw the female sting behind him chasing after him, and he didn't know where the strength came from, He Fei, who was frightened, burst out with an amazing perseverance that he had never had before, and in an instant, He Fei began to accelerate, and his legs swung desperately, actually further increased the speed that had reached the extreme, and actually flattened the flight speed of the female moth.
Dada!
But does that work? Does it make sense?
After all, human beings are living beings, real living beings, and human physical energy is always limited, compared with the infinite physical energy of the mantis spirit body, even if you run fast, what is the use?
The only difference is that you die early and die later.
At this moment, if you look down at the town from a third perspective, you will see a horrific scene that can scare most people to death on the spot:
"Hahaha! Die!!! ”
At night, in a certain street, there was a young man howling and running wildly in front of him, and more than ten meters behind him, he was followed by a hideous female moth with a cloak of hair! The female moth was laughing wildly, frantically chasing the young man in front of her, but around the female moth was a large white street that was constantly freezing as the female moth moved!
Running, still continuing, the pursuit, never stopped, I don't know how long I ran, I don't know how many blocks I passed in the panic, He Fei, who was basically frightened crazy, only knew that he ran when he saw the road and drilled into the alley, for a while, a person and a ghost launched a life-and-death chase in the town, like a cat chasing a mouse.
Finally, as the escape continued, as time passed minute by minute, gradually, a sense of fatigue quietly emerged, sweeping through the whole body, and He Fei also faintly noticed that his legs were getting heavier and heavier, as heavy as lead, the speed began to decrease, and the running became slower and slower, as the speed of the young man slowed down, behind him, the female scorpion who had been chasing him was getting closer and closer to the young man, and the distance between the two sides had been quickly shortened from more than ten meters to less than ten meters in a few seconds!
"Die!"
(I'm dead!) )
At this moment, feeling the exhaustion of his body, listening to the louder and clearer howl of the female stalk behind him, He Fei was desperate, completely desperate, desperate, seemed to have figured out something and seemed to understand something, the college student began to reduce his speed further, and it seemed that he was planning to give up and run away and close his eyes and wait for death.
However......
Just as the young man tried to stop running away and chose to take the initiative to die, perhaps deep in the brain or subconscious, a voice also chose to emerge in his mind at this moment:
"You, have you given up? You're just that? Easily admit defeat like this? This is not in line with your He Fei's personal character. ”
The voice was calm and short-lived, and disappeared in the blink of an instant that came to mind.
However, it was precisely this seemingly calm and rather short-lived sentence that made He Fei wake up suddenly, and even roared in the depths of his heart:
(I, just throw in the towel?) Just like a pig waiting to be slaughtered, choose to wait for death? Are you kidding...... )
"What are you kidding!!"
Suddenly, He Fei let out a loud roar, and when he let out a roar, the young man's originally desperate face actually changed in an instant, becoming hideous, terrifying, and even full of anger!
It was also at this moment that with the roar, the legs that had been slowing down also accelerated again in an instant, and they were able to grab the speed of the two sides before the female moth grabbed her.
Why? Why did He Fei struggle? Obviously, I can't get rid of the female scorpion behind me, and I obviously have no way out, but why......
The answer is simple, because......
Just now, when he let out an angry roar, He Fei remembered something, a certain speculation that he had discovered and cared about earlier but was ignored by him because it was too unrealistic.
Yes, He Fei had been to the luxurious building in the afternoon, and had also re-observed the rather strange oil painting of a woman, and even found an obscure text message from behind the oil painting, through this message, He Fei, who was active, had also inadvertently noticed something, or had some kind of speculation, but in the end it was left behind because of unreasonable logic and serious lack of evidence.
But who would have thought that in desperation, in response to this unreasonable speculation, He Fei inexplicably remembered another sentence, the most common sentence in many detective novels he often reads.
That is, when all the results are not the real answer, then the most unlikely answer may be the only answer!
Groov!
His heart trembled suddenly, lightning flashed through his mind, He Fei understood, understood something, and then the young man regained his courage like a person who was about to drown and grabbed a life-saving straw, or it can be understood as ......
Bet!
Bet that seemingly illogical guess turned out to be correct, gamble with your own life, anyway, if you don't bet, you won't survive tonight, since that's the case, just gamble and make the last fight!
"Ahh!!h
Thinking of this, He Fei miraculously calmed down, quickly calmed down, and in a hurry, his vision swept behind him as he skimmed around, and saw that the female ghost was about to approach him again, He Fei, who had turned into an outlaw gambler, roared, and his body accelerated wildly again, and then, his expression changed, he was no longer desperate, not confused, and the whole person was not running aimlessly like just now, he suddenly turned around and ran towards an alley on the side of the road.
And what's even more unbelievable is that for some reason, Xu was afraid that the female moth would not be able to catch him, and he was afraid that the female moth would give up the pursuit and kill, and when he jumped into the alley, He Fei actually turned around and scolded the female moth, chasing himself all the way, and shouted a provocative word at the female moth who was only a few meters away from him:
"You're going to kill me if you kind of me!"
