Chapter XXXVIII
Mu Xiaowu saw Susan's charred hair and the little sparks that fell between her hair, and she even felt her eyes move, and a glimmer of light flashed on her eyeballs. However, just when she thought she had succeeded, Susan suddenly blinked her eyes, and the corners of her mouth turned upwards, revealing a "light smile" that did not move. ”
"Don't go, come to the tower to accompany me, my father and mother don't want me anymore, I have been looking forward to it for a long time, but none of them come...... I am hungry...... Hungry ......."
The infant spirit "spoke" through Susan's mouth, and her voice was so sharp that it whistled, stabbing Mu Xiaowu's head. At the same time, she saw the copper needle come out of the center of Susan's brow, dragging the dull white thread, and falling to the ground with a "click", burned red by the fire from the baby tower.
Mu Xiaowu's fingers touched the rosary, his head tilted, and he glanced at Zhao Zimai, who was standing behind him, meaning that he should keep the beads. Zhao Zimai knew what she was going to do, and she was shocked, and she just wanted to go up to stop it, but suddenly a figure rushed behind her, and she rushed straight towards Susan.
"You killed my father-in-law, and I will let you pay for your life." Langzhong's lady rushed to Susan's side, put her hands on her neck, and pushed her towards the blazing tower gate, and the figures of the two men were soon engulfed in black smoke by the tower gate.
Seeing this scene, Amy covered her eyes and shouted, Mu Xiaowu and Zhao Zimai were also shocked, and just wanted to step forward to stop it, but saw a person flash out of the smoke, and then, a tragic dry howl came out of the tower, and the hissing sound cracked the lungs, scaring everyone into a huff.
"Don't scream, burn it for a while and it will turn to ashes."
Susan stood on the side of the tower and smiled, and as she spoke, she glanced at Mu Xiaowu who was about to rush up to save people, and her smile became even brighter, "Shhh ”
The footsteps around the tower became more cheerful, and they ran around the small tower, laughing incessantly, as if the small tower that had just devoured a living person was a sacrificial artifact.
Susan smiled even more, she finally had a good time, and she was happy, but suddenly, she smiled, and looked around, "Who's next?" Who wants to come and play with me? ”
This frighteningly cold gaze frightened everyone, and even the old woman, who was still crying bitterly over the death of her daughter-in-law, suddenly stopped crying, and only dared to look at Susan timidly with a pair of teary eyes.
"Mother, I'm afraid." In the dead silence, Shen'er pinched the corners of Yu's clothes and gently said the words that were holding in everyone's hearts.
"Are you afraid of me?" Susan slowly turned her gaze to Shen'er, her eyes narrowed, and she had a terrifying smile on her face, "That's you, can you come and play with me?" ”
Finally someone responded, she was excited, and walked towards Shen'er with a step, the sound of most of her hair that had been burned off was splashing, and the broken long skirt was dragging on the ground, making a "rustling" sound.
Yu Shi held the little sister with one hand, and the other hand couldn't protect the remaining two children, so he could only block them behind him, and the mother and son retreated together. But Shen'er saw that the pair of eyes without the whites of his eyes were staring straight at him, and he was a little panicked, so he ran away, ignoring Yu's shouts, and ran towards the wild grass behind him.
Susan stopped, a weird smile wrinkling on her face, "You're hiding?" Shall I arrest you? If you catch it, you lose. She laughed, and ran around the bushes toward the grass, walking very fast, like a child playing hide and seek excitedly.
"Shen'er, Shen'er, don't hide, I see you, I see your head on top," Susan giggled and opened her waist-high artemisia grass with her hands, her eyes tilted forward to a crushed place, "If you lose, I'm going to throw you into the tower and turn to ashes, so that you will never leave." ”
She looked at the little black head, listened to his increasingly rapid breathing, and laughed so hard that her shoulders trembled, "Little brother, I found you......"
A figure suddenly stepped in in front of her, Zhao Zimai stretched out his arm to block her, and grinned, "What's the point of two people playing, it's better to add me to another one, I hide much better than him, you can be sure you can't find it." ”
Susan was stunned, and after blinking her eyes a few times, she pursed her mouth, and there was a fierce light in her eyes, "Bragging, how do you know I can't find you." ”
"Then try it, and you'll know if you try it." Zhao Zimai stabilized his mind and continued to provoke her, "If you can find me, I will stay and play with you every day, how about it?" ”
While saying this, he glanced at Mu Xiaowu and saw that she was desperately stroking the rosary on her wrist, but the rosary seemed to be stuck to her skin, and it couldn't fade off. Zhao Zimai didn't know whether to be happy or worried for a while, but at this moment, Susan spoke.
"No, I'm going to play with him, not with you." Her tone was firm and angry, as if annoyed that he was getting in the way of her game.
What would happen if he provoked her, Zhao Zimai knew very well in his heart, so he slowly retreated to the side and made way for her.
Susan sneered, and once again turned her gaze to Shen'er's head, this time, a sinister smile appeared on her face, and she quickened her steps towards him.
With a "bang", she caught a glimpse of Zhao Zimai taking out a black thing with white smoke, and when she lowered her head, Susan saw that there was a small round hole in the upper of her shoes, and blood was coming out of it, staining the surrounding grass roots.
"You hit me."
Before he finished speaking, Zhao Zimai rushed out and hugged Shen'er, who was squatting in the grass, and ran forward without looking back.
"You hit me." Susan repeated the three words again, and this time, with tears pouring out of her eyes, stomped desperately despite the pain, like a child who has been bullied. But soon, the crying stopped, and she looked at the figure in front of her who was about to disappear into the barren grass, clenched her fists, gritted her teeth and stood for a long time, and let out a roar.
As if hearing an order, the footsteps that were still around the tower gathered towards the grass at the same time, stepping on the messy wild grass, and chased in the direction of Zhao Zimai.
"Miss Mu, you should hurry up." Baotian was about to cry, he had just injured a leg in order to save the child, and now he couldn't move, and he was panicked when he saw the infant spirit chasing after Zhao Zimai. But Mu Xiaowu couldn't get rid of the rosary at this time, even if she had already used her teeth and wanted to bite off the thread, she still couldn't take it off.
The beads seemed to have taken root in her flesh and skin, fighting against the heat that was constantly gushing out of her body, one cold and one hot mixed with each other, making her shiver violently.
