Chapter 153: Midnight Pursuit

Through the flashlight, I saw a total of four oil paintings hanging on the walls of the cloister, but the content of each oil painting is enough to make people shudder when they see it for the first time!

Others are like this, and He Fei is no exception.

That's because several of the paintings are almost entirely about death......

Looking up, the background of the first oil painting from the left is very dark, because the content of the painting is like this, even if it is a flashlight, it is still not clear what the background is, of course, although the background of the oil painting is black, but the center of the picture is much clearer, I saw that in the center of the oil painting is a man's corpse, the corpse is lying on the ground, the death is miserable, the corpse is inserted with a lot of arrows, and the most terrifying thing is that the man has a giant axe inserted in his back, a large amount of red liquid is all over the body, and more along the back wound flows around the corpse.

After watching the oil painting, He Fei was very surprised, because he was very familiar with the axe inserted in the man's corpse in the picture, and after a little recollection, it felt very similar to the axe dragged in the hand of the black shadow he met a few minutes ago!

Could it be ......

Thinking of this, He Fei seemed to understand something, pondered for a while, and turned his gaze to the second oil painting.

There is still a corpse in the second oil painting, this is a female corpse, but the biggest difference from the first oil painting is that the second oil painting has a top-down perspective, and the background of the painting is a relatively vague road building scene, but when he moves his eyes to the center of the oil painting, the female corpse in the painting can't help but make him a little creepy......

The woman is undoubtedly dead, the female corpse is lying on her back, her limbs and body maintain a twisted and strange posture, the female corpse's hair is very long and covers most of her face, the top of the head has now been shattered by a third, and countless red liquids mixed with XX in the picture are fan-shaped all over the female corpse's skull, from a distance, it even looks like an abstract ink painting, and it will definitely make anyone tremble when you look closer.

After reading the second oil painting, He Fei already had some uncertain speculations in his mind, but before he could think about it, the next moment, his eyes were already attracted by the third painting.

Looking closely, the third oil painting is a bit special, not as full of blood and death as the first two oil paintings, and even strictly speaking, this third oil painting does not even have a corpse, but because of this, the feeling that this oil painting brings to He Fei is not fear, but more of an incomprehensible weirdness!

There is really no horror in the third painting.,Not even a corpse.,The content of the picture is a group of villagers.,The villagers are very ordinary, there are men and women.,There's nothing special.,And what really makes people feel weird is the state of the villagers.,Yes,I saw that the group of villagers in the picture were standing in place while looking at the front with a frightened expression.,But the strange thing is that I turned to the front with the villagers' eyes and found that there was nothing in front of me!?

Nothing? What are these people afraid of?

He Fei was puzzled, if he had already guessed the answer to the first painting and what he vaguely felt in the second painting, then this third painting was really incomprehensible to him, why could there be nothing near the villagers but let these people look ahead with frightened expressions?

Just when He Fei racked his brains and couldn't figure it out, inadvertently, a detail that inadvertently swept through the corner of his eyes caught the attention of the young man:

Well?

It was only then that he noticed that in front of the group of panicked villagers, there were a pair of not very obvious footprints on the ground, not only that, in addition to the footprints that were not easy to detect, there was also a villager in the far corner of the painting, unlike the group of villagers in the middle of the picture who were looking frightened while staying in place, the villager in the corner maintained a walking posture in the painting, if so, it would be fine, it was really strange......

There was not a hint of fear on the face of the walking villager.

Seeing this, He Fei was shocked, and it didn't take long for his face to show a hint of understanding inexplicably.

(Could it be...... Could it be that the meaning of this third painting is ...... )

After thinking for a while, He Fei planned to finish the last painting before speaking, and then he shone his flashlight on the fourth and last oil painting on this wall.

It's just that when he shone the pillar of light on the last oil painting, He Fei was stunned, completely stunned.

That's because......

This fourth painting is completely pitch black, nothing!?

(This...... )

Brush!

At the same time, just when He Fei was stunned, behind him, there was a cold aura, which swept in an instant, surging from behind in an instant! Yes, you can understand it as human intuition or as the sixth sense of human beings when danger comes, just as that cold aura hits, the extremely strong sense of death crisis also swept over He Fei's whole body in an instant!

As soon as the sense of crisis appeared, He Fei did not hesitate at all, and immediately threw himself to the left!

Touch!

Whoa!

The loud noise was instantaneous, and He Fei had just pounced on the ground on the left, and in the next moment, a sharp axe that was so huge that it was a little exaggerated had already slashed at the ground where He Fei was standing in the last second, and the ground that was struck by the giant axe was not only broken on the spot, but the ground was smashed straight out of a big pit.

Other words...... Even if He Fei hid half a second late just now, there was no doubt that he would inevitably be split in half on the spot by this huge axe!

Poof!

He Fei, who could avoid the end of the corpse, fell to the ground, but fortunately, he reacted quickly, and he didn't care about being frightened, first he got up from the ground with a rolling belt, instinctively looked back behind him, and the flashlight shone behind him for the first time, and it was only then that he finally saw the appearance of the attacker behind him:

With the help of a flashlight, the ...... in the field of vision It's a ghost!!

At the same time, this is also the first time that He Fei has seen the full appearance of the scorpion at such a close range.

In the field of vision, a few meters away from the opposite side is standing a terrifying appearance of the mantis, I saw that this mantis is extremely tall, at least more than one meter nine by sight, naked upper body, lower body wearing a pair of linen pants, what is even more frightening is that this mantis body is full of various arrows, and the face is a terrifying face that has long been half rotten!

The heart, beating to the throat, the chill, enveloping the whole body.

Seeing this scene, He Fei's forehead was covered with cold sweat, and his mind couldn't help but think of the male corpse in the first oil painting, but he didn't expect it to be extremely similar to the mantis in front of him, maybe the only difference is...... In the painting, it was just a corpse, but standing in front of him at the moment was a scrabble that could take his life at any time!

"Ah!!h

To get back to the point, don't look at the above descriptions, but in fact, the whole process from He Fei dodging the fatal blow to seeing the appearance of the mantis only happened in just 3 seconds, and after it was completely clear that the attacker was the axe on the first floor, He Fei screamed, and the whole person was terrified to the limit!!

(Why, when did this scrab appear behind me?) )

In the scream, He Fei was still puzzled and puzzled, but unfortunately he couldn't continue to think, because the only thing he had to do at this moment was ......

Escape!

As soon as he saw the appearance of the mantis, in the next second, He Fei suddenly turned around and strode wildly, grabbed the way towards the nearest passage and fled, and ran wildly along the corridor towards the back hall of the ancient castle!

Dada!

Seeing the living person in front of him fleeing, the axe that missed the hit also strode after him with the axe almost at the same time, and then, one person and one scorpion started the chase and escape drama, and in the continuous pursuit of this person and one stalk, as time passed by second, He Fei found one thing, and found a terrible reality that was enough to make him feel terrified:

The axe is so fast!

Yes, in the face of the mantis, it is impossible for He Fei not to run with all his strength unless he wants to die, and this is indeed the case, with a burst of desperate running, He Fei can be said to be the fastest running in his life, about 10 seconds have passed since he just escaped, and in 10 seconds, he has already run forward for a distance of nearly 100 meters! There is no doubt that this speed can be said to be the limit that ordinary humans can achieve, but what He Fei never expected was ......

Even if he had increased his speed to the extreme at this moment, behind him, the tall axe mantis was still following closely behind him as he was 10 seconds ago, and he couldn't shake it off at all!!

Not only that, but don't forget that during the chase, the mantis also held an iron axe weighing 100 catties in his hand!

(He' moves very slowly when he doesn't find a living person, but he doesn't expect it to be so fast when he finds a living person and pursues him!) )

Dada!!

"Woo!"

Thinking of this, He Fei let out a loud roar, and his legs accelerated desperately.

Unfortunately, it was completely useless, and the axe was still trailing, and even the distance between the two sides was constantly shortened with the naked eye.

Gradually, confirming that he couldn't shake off the axe and realizing that the distance between the two sides was getting closer and closer, and while running, He Fei let out a wail and a desperate howl!

Yes, he made a mistake, he knew why the mantis had found him, it was the bright light of the flashlight when he was looking at the oil painting before, and it was the flashlight that attracted the mantis that had been hovering on the first floor.

In the confusion of his mind, the running continues, and the dying struggle continues......

As mentioned above, He Fei can be said to run extremely fast, and at the same time ran a distance that is not short, but the scorpion behind him not only can't get rid of it, but is getting closer and closer to himself, in just a dozen seconds, the distance between the two sides has been shortened from the initial 5 meters to less than 3 meters, and what is even more desperate is that He Fei can't run anymore.

After all, human physical strength is limited, and he feels that his physical strength is gradually draining, and his speed is not as fast as before, only the axe mantis still maintains its original terrifying speed.

The distance grew closer, and after a few more seconds, the distance between the two sides was further reduced from the initial 3 meters to less than 2 meters.

Finished!

He Fei knew that he was going to die this time, and the reason why he was still running was just a dying struggle.

However.........

Just as He Fei was overdrawing his physical strength and running to death, and the axe was about to catch him, inadvertently, with the help of the faint candlelight in front of him, He Fei found that there seemed to be a person standing in front of him not far away......

………

Since Liu Zhengkun went to the second floor, Zhao Ping has not left, and the man with glasses has always stood at the staircase leading to the second floor and remained silent, yes, he is waiting, he is waiting for screams from the second floor.

The reason is very simple, because he knows that not only the first floor, but also the second floor actually has a ghost, at present, the mantis on the first floor seems to be slow and easy to hide, not to mention that the space on the first floor is large and it is easy to hide, so Zhao Ping does not plan to go to the second floor, and the man with glasses in his heart plans to do so, that is, if Liu Zhengkun is attacked by the scorpion after reaching the second floor, then he will definitely scream before he dies, but if there is no scream from Liu Zhengkun after a long time, it means that the mantis on the second floor should not be good at finding people, Since the mantis on the second floor couldn't even find Liu Zhengkun's stupid pig, then he, Zhao Ping, naturally had the confidence to dodge the scorpion that could only make a strange sound.

Only then would he probably go to the second floor to take a look.

To put it more bluntly, Zhao Ping completely regarded Liu Zhengkun as his own pathfinder...... Or for the dead scorpion!

(Hehe, Liu Zhengkun, Liu Zhengkun, I'm really looking forward to you, a self-proclaimed smart pig, not being found by the mantis so soon...... )

Between his thoughts, a smile appeared at the corner of Zhao Ping's mouth, but it was precisely at this time, and before he could retract his smile, the next second, a wail came from the darkness on his left, and at the same time, along with this wail, there was a series of louder and louder footsteps running.

Hearing the movement, Zhao Ping was suddenly taken aback, and subconsciously looked to the left, it was okay not to look at it, but at a glance, his originally calm face turned white in an instant!

As the footsteps became louder and louder, He Fei actually appeared in front of his field of vision, and while running, the young man looked frightened, and at the same time, the other party also ran towards him at a very fast speed, but even so, this was still not the real reason for Zhao Ping's pale face, what really made him sweat was that he was following behind He Fei and was led by He Fei towards him...... Crabs!

A mite with an exaggerated axe!!

At this moment, looking ahead, watching He Fei and the axe scorpion both approaching him, it is expected that he will come to his position in seven or eight seconds at most, seeing this scene, the man with glasses is dead on the spot!

"I ...... I grass! He Fei, are you the hell, are you trying to drag me to die together!? ”

In the flash of light, the man with glasses finally reacted, first scolded He Fei who led him to him, and then ran without hesitation, and ran straight towards the stairs in front of him.

At the same time, Zhao Ping's actions on the opposite side also attracted He Fei's attention.

(Huh?) There are stairs ahead! It turns out that there is a staircase leading to the second floor in front! I didn't expect that in addition to the hall, there is also one in the back hall! )

At this moment, He Fei, who was originally desperate, could be said to be extremely grateful to Zhao in his heart, if it weren't for Zhao Ping, he really wouldn't have found that there was a staircase leading to the second floor in front of him!

Seeing that there was a trace of vitality, He Fei, who was exhausted in physical strength, gritted his teeth fiercely, and ran towards the staircase at a more frantic speed, running so desperately, his physical strength was gradually approaching overdraft, and if he didn't get rid of the mantis behind him quickly, it wouldn't be long before he would be completely unable to run due to physical overdraft, He Fei would have to fight!

Rub and go!

The potential of people in a state of madness is really terrifying, although the description is complicated, but in fact, when Zhao Ping fled to the second floor, He Fei, who was running for his life a few seconds later, also followed up the stairs on the second floor, although He Fei had stepped on the stairs, but he didn't dare to turn back, so he didn't dare to go back and quickly ran to the second floor.

Then, a strange turn of events occurred that went unnoticed by anyone:

The moment He Fei stepped on the stairs on the second floor, the axe mantis that was originally following closely behind him stopped instantly when he ran to the staircase.

Yes, it was clear that it would be easy to grab the physically exhausted human before he reached the second floor with just a few steps of chasing, but the axe mth stopped, and just stopped inexplicably when it reached the staircase on the second floor.

In front of the staircase, the axe mantis lost all movement, as if the pursuit had never happened, and the large axe that had been held high in his hand slowly drooped, and then, 'he' returned to his original state, dragging the axe backwards while slowly walking away from the staircase again.

With a series of frictional dragging sounds resounding, the sound and the shape of the axe mantis disappeared into the darkness of the far hall......

Whoa, whoa, whoa...... Whoa......
