Chapter 10: The Big Red Shoes

"Come help me."

The man stepped up step by step, his high heels making a screeching footstep on the concrete road.

Ding Xiaoyi's face was cold, he didn't think that the other party would find out, although he was willing to help others, it didn't mean that he liked to meddle in things, not to mention that the man in front of him was obviously abnormal.

"I'm sorry, I'm in a hurry!"

Saying that, Ding Xiaoyi turned around and walked back, but when he turned around, he saw that there was dead silence on the empty main street behind him.

On the empty bluestone pavement, the neon lights that should have been daylight were all dimmed at this time.

This noisy city that never sleeps is finally silent now, but the silence is terrifying.

"What's going on?"

While Ding Xiaoyi felt horrified in his heart, he couldn't help but speed up his pace.

At the same time, he fumbled for the keys from his trouser pocket.

While walking, he silently recited the four words of firewood and new home.

But this time there was no response from the key.

"Useless?"

Sensing that the key had not taken effect, Ding Xiaoyi's brows tightened slightly.

Raise your head and take a serious look at the dead and empty streets around you.

Although it is an old town, at this time, the streets are even more dilapidated than before.

This made his heart cold, and he couldn't help but think of the dark car in his mind.

Suddenly, a sense of déjà vu came to his face, and he had to suspect that he should be a ghost now.

No, the word ghost is the dregs of the old times.

According to the current Alliance's explanation, he has encountered some kind of psionic creature.

This couldn't help but surprise Ding Xiaoyi, putting aside the taxi last time and his new firewood house.

Although he had heard of reports about this, he had never encountered one.

Psionic creatures tend to only appear on those new continents.

As for the original place of human habitation, it is very unlikely that you will encounter psionic beings.

"Don't go!"

The footsteps behind were getting faster and faster.

"Da-da-da..." sounds distracting.

"Don't go, help me, I'm almost gone."

The voice of the man behind him shouted a little hurriedly.

Ding Xiaoyi didn't look back, one hand groped into his arms, but deliberately slowed down.

In other words, two days ago, if I encountered this kind of thing, I would definitely have no master.

Human fear comes more from the unknown.

But in just two days, Ding Xiaoyi really saw too many unbelievable things.

Whether it's the taxi, or the new house of firewood, or even the big-headed monster.

After the experience of these two days, I no longer have the fear of psionic creatures like ordinary people.

Especially if you still have a killer weapon in your hands.

When he felt the coldness pouring into his palm, Ding Xiaoyi's mind became more calm for a while.

The pace slowed down.

"Don't go!" Accompanied by the sound of footsteps clattering in my ears.

A gray-white palm grabbed his shoulder from behind.

The strength of this hand was surprisingly great, and it pulled him backwards.

At this time, Ding Xiaoyi noticed the man in front of him for the first time.

Under the emaciated cheeks, the pale complexion, and the deep sunken eye sockets, the two eyes were covered with dense bloodshots.

"Help me!"

As the man spoke, his hands grabbed Ding Xiaoyi's throat, and his arms, which seemed to be skinny, actually lifted himself off the ground with ease.

However, at this time, Ding Xiaoyi's eyes were cold, and his palm pushed to the man's chest.

A bewitching purple light suddenly flashed in Ding Xiaoyi's palm.

The purple light collided with the man's chest, as if there was some kind of chemical reaction.

"Boom!" There was a thud, like a fireball exploding between the two of them.

"Ahh

As soon as the man's body touched the flames, a scream came out of his mouth.

With a flick of his arms, Ding Xiaoyi felt like a sandbag thrown out.

"Bang!" slammed into the wall next to him, and the tearing pain made him almost lose his breath.

At this time, the purple light flashed in front of him.

Quickly engulfs the man's upper body.

"Shhhhh

Although the effect of the purple bead, I have verified it from the big-headed monster in my heart.

However, the effect was far greater than expected.

"Ahhh......h

The man's mouth let out a terrible scream, and his body struggled frantically in the purple fire, but his flesh and blood also dissolved like a candle at this time.

Ding Xiaoyi smelled a smell of corpses.

It is a unique taste.

It's not as simple as people think.

Rather, it is a rotten smell of sesame oil.

"Gott~"

The first time he smelled it, he couldn't help but vomit.

Can't even get used to the smell.

No matter how bad the stench is, even if it is a dung pit in the hot summer.

The smell will only gradually get used to after you retch for a while.

But this rancid smell is different, the stench is mixed with the pervasive aroma of oil.

It's a mixed injury, and it's a smell and a greasy smell that you can't get used to.

Ding Xiaoyi covered his mouth, didn't care about the injuries on his body, quickly got up and ran back.

It wasn't until he was ten meters away that he dared to let out a long breath.

But the clothes on his body still maintain the lingering stench.

It seems that the man is afraid that he is no longer human.

Judging from the performance of the other party, it is a bit in line with the official evil spirit level.

Ding Xiaoyi couldn't believe how such an evil spirit could appear in a human settlement.

And it's still in the densely populated old town.

But why do you always let yourself get into this kind of thing?

Coincidental?

If this is also a coincidence, then the coincidences of the last two days are inevitably too much.

Ding Xiaoyi couldn't help but fall into deep thought, and vaguely felt that it would not be a coincidence that he would meet a psionic creature.

Maybe somewhere, there's something special that you've overlooked.

At this time, the purple fire in the alley had been extinguished.

Along with it, there was the scream of the man just now.

There was a sour smoke in the alley.

Ding Xiaoyi covered his mouth and nose and leaned in to take a closer look.

And I saw that the corpse had been burned into human ashes.

But it can still be seen that the man's fingers are curled up in a ball, clasped tightly.

It seems that in the process, I am enduring unimaginable pain.

"I'm sorry, you're dead, and I can't save you."

The specific effect of the purple bead is not very clear yet.

But judging from his own experiments, the effect of the purple bead is very domineering, but it is only for psionic creatures.

A living person like himself, or even cooked meat that has been made into ham sausage, will not be harmful.

This further confirmed that the man in front of him had already become a corpse at the beginning.

I don't know what happened to the other party and why it became like this.

But apparently he didn't have the ability to save him.

After Ding Xiaoyi's eyes glanced at the corpse, he subconsciously looked at the corpse's feet.

The pair of bright red high heels left a deep impression on him.

But at this moment, Ding Xiaoyi's face suddenly froze, and his eyes stared directly at the feet that were burned into carbon slag.

"Where's the shoes?"

The heels are gone.

It is said that even if it is burned, it will still leave some clues.

But right now, the carbonized feet are black, and the tightly hooked toes look like they are not wearing shoes at all.

Wait a minute...... At this time, he suddenly remembered that the man before had repeatedly said that he couldn't walk.

Don't.........

"Hiss~"

The cold hit and made Ding Xiaoyi's scalp tingle.

I don't know if it's because of the sting pain I just had, or the chill in my heart.

At this time, cold sweat couldn't help rolling down his forehead.

"Da ......"

Suddenly, crisp footsteps sounded on the shiny bluestone slabs.

The crisp and powerful sound echoed through the empty streets.

A pair of bright red uppers stepped out of the darkness.

See this blood-red heel.

Ding Xiaoyi suddenly felt like a big enemy.

I was right, the real psionic creature is not the man who has been burned to char on the ground.

It's the bright red shoes in front of you.

Quickly clenched the purple bead into a fist.

Make a defensive gesture and be wary of the pair of heels in front of you.

But the shoes did not come any closer to him, and stood quietly in the shadows for a long time.

The left shoe is shifted forward, and the right shoe is swiped backwards with its back.

Without waiting for him to understand what the shoes were going to do.

I saw my shoes turn and walk along the end of the alley.

The footsteps of "Da Da Da ...", which sounded much lighter than before.

At least not the same heartstring-jerking feeling it was.

After the shoes faded into the dim yellow light.

Ding Xiaoyi suddenly felt a nauseous feeling in his chest, followed by a burst of blackness in front of his eyes.

There were bizarre screams all around.

After the sound seemed to roll in like a tide, it soon began to become clear in his ears.

As the light in front of him gradually changed from hazy to clear, the disgusting strange feeling in his chest disappeared together.

On the street behind him, neon lights of various colors shine on his shadow.

He looked up at the dim alley in front of him, the old street lamp, shining in the dusty light not far away.

It's as if everything I've seen before is like a false fantasy.

But the disgusting rancid stench on his body is still so pungent.

and the cold touch of the purple bead in his palm, all reminded himself that just now, he had encountered a rumored psionic creature.

Ding Xiaoyi shook his head, and after trying to make his mind clearer, he turned around and left from the alley.

Regardless of whether he had actually encountered a psionic creature or not, he had no intention of moving on.

Following the crowd on the main street, Ding Xiaoyi walked forward in a trance.

[Now play a piece of news, there have been a number of robberies in the city recently, and the Union Superintendent has locked up the suspect, if you find clues about the suspect, please choose to report the case as soon as possible. 】

On the big screen at the crossroads, a bounty notice appeared, which made Ding Xiaoyi stunned

Looking at the photo of the man above, he was surprised in his heart: "It turned out to be him." ”
