Chapter 22: Survival in Death
I was trapped by the shadows and couldn't move.
could only watch Xia Tian being swallowed by the second black shadow. The dark shadow enveloped her completely, and soon I couldn't see her face.
Li Shan cried and stretched out her hand, wanting to tear the black shadow off Xia Tian's body.
But it didn't work at all.
I said to Li Shan with difficulty: "Cinnabar." ”
Li Shan understood, and hurriedly reached over to get the jar.
But the shadow that devoured Xia Tian actually began to devour Li Shan.
Li Shan's body suddenly froze and couldn't move.
She looked at me with despair in her eyes.
And my heart is getting heavier and heavier.
Could it be that Xia Tian really can't be saved?
In the past two days, how many lives and deaths have I experienced in Xia Tian's family? How can you bear to watch her being taken away by the puppet?
Moreover, if Xia Tian is taken away, the clue to find grandpa will be completely interrupted.
The more I thought about it, the more anxious I became, and I couldn't help but sweat in a hurry.
At that moment, a light suddenly shone through the window, and it shone right on me.
The black image on my body was like a burn, and I screamed miserably, and it receded like a tide. It was gone in the blink of an eye.
Immediately afterwards, the black shadows on Xia Tian and Li Shan's bodies, as if they had received some kind of mysterious instructions, quickly disappeared.
The wind inside the house suddenly stopped. The pieces of paper that had been flying in the wind fell to the ground one after another.
The inside of the hospital room became extremely silent for a moment. It was as if it had just been a dream.
Li Shan's lips trembled twice and asked me, "Is this ...... What's going on? ”
I turned my head and saw that the light outside the window was sunlight.
I smiled weakly: "It's okay, the sun is out, we are saved." ”
Then I fell to the ground exhausted.
Although Li Shan is just an ordinary person, she also knows the meaning of sunrise. As soon as the sun comes out, all evil must be avoided.
She breathed a sigh of relief, and then nervously looked at Xia Tian, who had been unconscious.
I said to her, "Xia Tian is fine, she has no evil spirit." Maybe just a little sleep. ”
Li Shan nodded, and only then did she completely relax, and then fell to the ground.
Ever since I met Li Shan, she was a very decent middle-aged woman.
But now, she was lying on the ground in a large shape, letting her messy hair rest behind her head.
After experiencing the life and death just now, she also disregarded her image a little.
Suddenly, Li Shan laughed: "I survived." ”
I also laughed: "yes, survived." ”
Li Shan turned her head and said with a sincere face: "Mr. Lin, you saved the lives of our family. ”
I smiled wryly and shook my head: "It's the sun." It was providence that kept you alive. ”
Li Shan said: "Without you, we would not have been able to survive until dawn. ”
At this time, the door of the ward was pushed open.
The nurse stood in the doorway, raising her feet to come in, and then stopped with a dull face.
She opened her mouth wide and looked at the messy room: "This...... What's going on here? ”
Li Shan smiled at her: "It's nothing, I will compensate for all the losses here." ”
The nurse probably also knew Xia Dongcheng's worth, so she didn't say anything, so she nodded: "I'll call someone to clean it up." ”
Li Shan said a little tiredly: "No need, you let us rest." ”
The nurse was even more confused: "Just resting?" ”
Li Shan closed her eyes and said in a tired voice, "Well, just rest like this." Today's events, help me keep it secret. ”
The nurse nodded blankly and turned to leave.
Li Shan stopped her again: "Didn't you hear a voice in the ward just now?" ”
The nurse said, "No, I didn't hear anything." ”
Then she looked at Li Shan with a curious expression: "Actually, I also want to know." How did you make such a mess of the ward, how did you manage to make no sound at all? ”
Li Shan smiled and did not answer.
The nurse was also very interested, so she quit and helped us close the door.
I struggled to get up from the ground and felt Xia Tian's pulse, everything was normal.
Then I picked her up and put her on the bed next to her.
I tossed all night last night, and I saw I don't know how many powerful ghosts, and I was calculated by the puppet again. Xia Tian's body is estimated to be unbearable.
After settling Xia Tian, I walked to Xia Dongcheng's bed and looked at it.
His body was still alive. But this kind of life is only the result of the maintenance of the instrument.
His soul had completely dissipated, and there was no possibility of resurrection. As soon as the instrument is removed, it will die immediately.
He ...... You okay? Li Shan asked me suddenly.
I glanced at her.
She immediately changed her indifferent expression: "I don't want him to live, I'm afraid that the shroud I bought for him won't be needed." ”
I smiled, "It's fine. ”
Li Shan: "Oh. ”
She was silent for a while and then asked me, "Will we be safe in the future?" ”
I smiled wryly at her, "This morning, we survived. In the evening, those people will come again. ”
Li Shan's face immediately turned pale: "Still coming?" ”
I hummed, and then sighed: "Tonight, it's the real life and death." If we cross over, we live, but if we can't cross over, we die. ”
Li Shan's eyes showed a look of despair.
I know what she thinks.
It was only a few minutes before we almost died. When the night comes, the puppet has a whole night to deal with us, can it still live?
I comforted her and said, "It's twelve hours before it gets dark." We had plenty of time to prepare. If you prepare well, you may be able to live. You can rest assured. ”
Li Shan nodded, as if she had pinned all her hopes on me.
I pretend to be relaxed on the surface, but I actually have no bottom in my heart.
I'm not sure about this at all. My grandfather wasn't sure back then, let alone me?
However, life and death are not decided by chance. Even if the hope of survival is only 1 in 10,000, we must strive for it.
Even if there is no hope of survival, we must seek a way to survive in a desperate situation.
What's more, I'm not hopeless now, at least I already know that Cinnabar can restrain the Yin Golem. It's up to me to use cinnabar at night.
I'm ...... now Don't you have more than a dozen hours to think?
While I was thinking, I heard a rustling sound behind me.
I turned around and saw Xia Tian sitting on the hospital bed, crying and saying, "Where are you all?" I'm scared. ”
Li Shan hurriedly walked over: "We are all here." ”
Xia Tian's eyes widened, but his eyes were not focused at all: "Why can't I see you?" It's so dark in here. ”
My heart chuckled, "She's blind? Why? Could it be that he was manipulated by a puppet? ”
