Xu Chong did it.

He opened his eyes and felt the reassuring smell of the real world: moist air, warm breezes and ......

No, isn't he awake yet? Why was there still a smell of blood in his nose, and as his mind cleared, the smell became heavier and heavier, causing a wave of nausea to rise in his chest.

"Twitter...... Twitter......"

The sound in my ears was also real, and it was louder than in my dreams, and it seemed to be mixed with a satisfied smacking of my lips.

Xu Chong felt his scalp tense all of a sudden, and he tried to keep his eyes open, trying to save himself from the dream. But all in vain, the sound and smell not only did not disappear, but became clearer and stronger, like ...... Just like the real thing.

Is it real?

Xu Chong squeezed his injured finger violently, and he felt a pain that penetrated deep into the bone marrow, from the root of the finger to the upper arm, which provoked his still somewhat confused brain to completely sober up.

It turned out that it was not a dream, it turned out that what happened twenty-eight years ago was repeating itself: it was eating, and it was on the straw couch next to him.

"Poof...... Whew......"

A different voice broke out from the sucking sound of "coo", Xu Chong shook, he guessed the source of the sound, the former was made by the trachea punctured by a sharp object, and the latter was the last sigh left by Li Yong. He couldn't move, he couldn't scream, so he could only watch his body being eaten, and he could only let out a final sigh at the end of his life.

Li Yong took the drug, and so did himself, so he fell asleep for so long. It's just that Xu Chong has been fighting nightmares all year round, so he can wake up faster, while Li Yong can only find out that the valley he fell into when he was eaten is not a paradise at all, but a purgatory on earth.

It's been hiding here all along, after eating Wan Zuhong's three bites. No wonder in the twenty-eight years since then, it has not committed any more bloodshed, it turns out that it is waiting for the prey to come to the door and eat them again.

Xu Chong turned his eyes a little, his neck couldn't move, so now from this angle, he couldn't see the straw couch next to him, only the black shadow reflected on the wall. It was not as carefully hidden under the bed as before, but pressed its entire body against Li Yong's body, "gurgling" and sucking his melted bones and blood.

A tubular thing trembled slightly, inserted in what should be Li Yong's Adam's apple, and Li Yong's body also shook with it, because the amplitude was too large, his loose hair flew up, making him look like a monster.

"Huh."

A burst of warm blood swept onto Xu Chong's face, he couldn't hold back any longer, his throat trembled twice, and he let out a suppressed retching.

The black shadow reflected on the wall did not move, and Xu Chong saw it climb down Li Yong's shriveled body and walk towards him, blood flowing down its body, condensing into slender blood streams on the floor. Its mouth was still chewing, and Xu Chong knew that it was full of Li Yong's crumbs.

He closed his eyes, not wanting to see it, but as soon as his eyelids met, they quickly parted.

No, he wants to see, to see what it is, since he has to die anyway, then it is better to see clearly, to see what the nightmare that has haunted him for decades is.

To his surprise, he didn't see any blue-faced fanged monsters. In Xu Chong's sight, a wrinkled old face appeared, he was too old, the wrinkles on his face were like rivers in a mountain gorge, covered with spots of different shades, and when he lowered his head, his loose face almost touched the tip of Xu Chong's nose.

"Wake up," said the old man, who opened his mouth, revealing the only three or five yellow teeth that remained, and smiled with his wrinkled lips, "that you have seen it." ”

As he said this, beads of blood fell from his gray beard and dripped onto Xu Chong's cheeks.

"Didn't you get enough medicine? The girl, when she saw the man who looked a little neater, was reluctant to do it, and it seemed that she had to teach her a lesson. He wiped his mouth as he spoke, put his fingers in his mouth and sucked a few times, "I saw your sword, the imperial gift, you are a red man next to the emperor Lao'er, so it seems that I am honored to eat you." ”

Xu Chong held his breath, "I was in the prime of life on my pilgrimage, but you said Lao'er, I don't know if it's agreeable?" ”

"In the prime of life?" The old man "quack" smiled, "It seems that the emperor has not lived as long as me, I remember seeing him once in the Summer Palace before, when he was already old, but he seemed to be healthy, and now, he is already his son in charge." ”

"It has been more than ten years since the new emperor ascended the throne, and it seems that you have been hiding here for a long time." Xu Chong's heart was beating "suddenly", he must ask the answer, even if death followed, "Twenty-eight years ago, on the eighth day of October, in the north of Qintai Street, Maocheng, there was a family surnamed Wan, and a family of three died at your hands, right?" ”

The old man's eyelids drooped, and his cloudy eyes leaned to one side, as if he was seriously thinking about Xu Chong's question, "Twenty-eight years ago, Maocheng ......" He shook his shoulders that seemed to be as thin as if there were only two layers of skin left, and smiled dumbly, "So that's the case, no wonder ......"

"What's the blame?" Xu Chong saw that he wanted to get up and leave, so he hurriedly asked.

The old man stopped looking at him, walked to Li Yong's half-eaten corpse, and climbed up slowly again.

The "chirping" began to sound again, as if it would never stop. Xu Chong lay there, he felt the warm blood return to his limbs, but except for his fingers, he couldn't control his body to move for half a minute.

There was a "bang" sound, and the key on Li Yong's waist fell to the ground, and at the same time, the old man wiped his mouth, slowly climbed down from the straw couch, and stretched out contentedly.

He seemed to have gained a little weight and a lot younger, and the wrinkles on his face had been smoothed out a lot, and he looked like a middle-aged man in his forties and fifties. Also, after eating such a plump person and absorbing his essence, he will naturally supplement his form with form.

No wonder Li Yong thought they were a father and daughter.

"Raise it well, raise yourself fatter, look at the fine meat of your body, and you will stuff your teeth when you eat it." The old man let out a cold laugh and patted his stomach and walked out the door.

"Is that kid still alive?" Xu Chong was still unwilling.

He waited for the dull sound of the door closing. 1603377978
