“……”

It's surprisingly quiet around.

Without the "red bulb", the surroundings were dark again.

took out the flashlight from the backpack, and with a "click", the flashlight was turned on, and the light was projected on Gao Qingzhu's fair face, like a head flying in the air in the dark night, weird and infiltrating.

Gao Qingzhu faced all this in front of her with a steady mind, holding on to a rough tree trunk behind her, and she sat down with her back against her.

Unexpectedly, he and Yan Hua got lost......

Holding his forehead, Gao Qingzhu sighed helplessly.

Just now, he was walking one after the other, but he didn't expect Yan Hua to seem to see someone halfway, and he followed with a look of distraction.

After all, there is a difference between men and women, and Gao Qingzhu can't keep up with Yan Hua even because of his long legs, so he runs and runs, but he still loses it.

usually looks so calm, what did he see that made him look like that?

Gao Qingzhu couldn't figure it out, and she didn't want to think about it.

Raising her eyes, looking at the endless darkness around her, Gao Qingzhu was at a loss, which direction she should go in was the most important problem she needed to solve at present.

If only Xu Nanxing was by his side at this moment......

Startled, Gao Qingzhu's fine eyelashes trembled slightly, and the long black hair slid down her shoulders, covering her gloomy eyes—the pair of amber pupils lacked the sharpness of her usual days.

I, how did I think of that guy?

Gao Qingzhu thought carefully.

After shaking her head, several minutes had passed by the time she reacted, and she stood up again, intending to find Yan Hua first.

Just as he was hesitating in which direction to go, there was a rustling of trees not far away.

It seemed that something was quickly shuttling through the trees, but it was only the sound of the thing's footsteps that was light and heavy, coupled with the faintly audible sound of heavy breathing, that Gao Qingzhu realized that it seemed to have been seriously traumatized.

Listening to the loud wheezing voice was not like Yan Hua, listening carefully, Gao Qingzhu could be sure that it was a woman.

As an outsider, Gao Qingzhu doesn't want to stay here longer, no matter who the other party is or what it is, she doesn't want to cause trouble for herself, if she doesn't have Yan Hua by her side, she knows her current situation very well, and she will never touch things that shouldn't be touched.

In order not to attract attention, she turned off the flashlight in a playful way.

Just as he was about to choose a random direction to leave, a snort came and a slender figure fell out of the bushes.

The figure seemed to have discovered Gao Qingzhu's existence, dragging his heavy body, and shouted in a choked voice: "Help...... Help me......"

For some reason, Gao Qingzhu always felt that he had heard this voice somewhere.

And, it's been in the past few days.

Gao Qingzhu's steps hung in the air, and her back trembled slightly, as she remembered.

Ding Anke!

That's right, it's her voice!

Turning the flashlight on again, she turned her head sharply, and the light shone in the direction of Ding Anke, and sure enough, it was her.

It's still the same black clothes that wrap around the whole body, but the backpack and camera that I took with me when I left are missing.

At this moment, Ding Anke fell to the ground with blood on his face, and the place on his face that had not been infected by blood could also be clearly seen to be strangely pale, his eyes were wide, and he stretched out his hand in horror to ask Gao Qingzhu for assistance.

What the hell is chasing her? What was it that made her so frightened that she ended up looking so embarrassed?

"Can you still go?" Gao Qingzhu helped her up.

Seeing that she couldn't run like that, the life-threatening run just now not only consumed a lot of Ding Anke's physical strength, but also gave her feet to Wei, holding her at this moment, Gao Qingzhu had exhausted his strength, and barely walked out a few steps.

"There's something chasing me, we have to hide." Perhaps it was the instinct to survive, Ding Anke actually dragged his injured leg and limped up.

Gao Qingzhu supported her while looking back at the sound of the trees behind him.

Something was indeed following them.

But that thing seems to be deliberately keeping a distance.

How did these injuries come about?

Suddenly, a powerful force held the two of them tightly, and no matter how much they struggled, it was useless.

Gao Qingzhu only felt that his whole body was grabbed by an invisible big hand, his hands and feet and his body couldn't move, only the neck and above could move freely, and Ding Anke beside him was the same.

It's just that she looks even more panicked, and her pupils continue to exude fear of death.

I could only hear Ding Anke's voice crying for help and begging for mercy, but he couldn't hear any other movement, and it was still dead black as far as he could see.

What exactly is chasing her? Monster? Ghost?

If this is the case, Ding Anke still has his life to escape?

"I told you that if you come back, I will kill you with my own hands!" In the air, there was a faint sound wafting in the air, listening to the flickering near and far, strange and abnormal.

It was a woman who spoke, her strange tone full of hatred, but she could clearly feel the pain contained in it.

Gao Qingzhu thought that he hadn't offended anyone in Santang Bay, let alone the demons and monsters in Santang Forest, so the only explanation was that Ding Anke had offended this woman.

And from the words, some important information can be obtained, that is, Ding An can come here and get out of this forest safely.

If you know that there is something in the forest that wants to kill you, why do you come to this forbidden place to kill yourself?

What was going on in the mind of Ding Anke, a woman, Gao Qingzhu really couldn't figure it out.

The force on her body suddenly increased, Gao Qingzhu only felt that her internal organs were being squeezed strongly, she began to feel pain, and when her eyes were dizzy, she inadvertently caught a glimpse of a large red mark on Ding Anke's neck, because it was too dark, Gao Qingzhu couldn't see it all.

The feeling of dizziness became more intense, and when he was almost about to faint, a burst of red light flashed, and the invisible power on his body suddenly dissipated, accompanied by a piercing scream, and the woman's voice that was floating in his ears suddenly disappeared, as if he had fled.

Plop –

The two fell to the ground.

What's going on with that burst of red light?

Gao Qingzhu shook his head heavily while covering his head that was not yet fully awake, and then remembered that Yan Hua had cast a spell on himself before entering the Santang Forest, saying that he could protect himself, it seemed that it was indeed useful.

But the price of protecting oneself is too painful.

The arm exposed to the air was already obviously red, and if the force just now was heavier, Gao Qingzhu would probably not be in this world.

In the eyes of ordinary people, she is still a little afraid of this matter, but in Gao Qingzhu's eyes, she is already indifferent, just thinking about who the woman who does not see her real body is, and what is the relationship between her and Ding Anke?

Just as he was about to ask her, the bushes not far away rattled again, and after a few seconds, the forest was dead silent.

Vigilantly glanced at the location of the sound source, and when there were no other sounds, Gao Qingzhu asked, "Why don't you tell me the purpose of your coming to Santang Forest?" ”

Ding Anke recovered from the panic, she didn't expect Gao Qingzhu to ask like this, she lowered her head, her eyes dodged, and her reaction was obviously not normal.

Sitting in place and waiting for a while, Gao Qingzhu didn't mean to get up, just waited quietly for Ding Anke to answer her question.

After a long time, she finally spoke: "When I was sixteen years old, I came to Santang Forest, and that day I saw a sea of flowers on the other side of the forest. ”

A sea of flowers on the other side?

If you remember correctly, the flower in the popular sense refers to Manzhu Sahua, which is not common, but Gao Qingzhu, who has lived in Santang Bay for so long, has never seen it at a glance.

Of course, there is also a saying that it is called the flower of the Yellow Spring, and it is the only scenery before crossing the Lethe River, and the flaming red like a pool of blood blooms gorgeously to lead the way for the dead.

But this is not enough to explain why Ding Anke still came to Santang Forest, in order to take another look? And what about that woman's voice just now?

Gao Qingzhu stopped thinking about it by himself, and asked directly, "So what?" ”

Ding Anke's eyes were gloomy: "Actually, my eyes are almost blind, and the doctor said that it can't be cured unless someone donates the corner of the eye, but I can't afford to wait, I'm a photographer, and if I don't have eyes, it's fatal." ”

After speaking, she paused, and her voice began to sob, "The purpose of my coming here is to see the sea of flowers on the other side again, I have been to other places, and I have also seen groups of blooming Manzhu Sawah, but none of them can be compared to this sea of flowers in Santang Forest, so I made a decision not long ago, and I plan to come to Santang Forest to take another look." ”

Sure enough, just to take another look at the sea of flowers, Gao Qingzhu frowned, expressing sympathy for her in her heart.

But after thinking about it, he found that something was wrong, Gao Qingzhu, who had been sitting on the ground, suddenly got up and walked towards Ding Anke, and ripped off her black clothes that wrapped her whole body without the other party expecting it.

Although the light was dim, Gao Qingzhu could still see clearly due to the close distance.

The place covered by the clothes was a large area of burn scars, and the other party was shocked by his actions, and hurriedly rebuttoned the buttons on the clothes.

"You, what do you do?" Ding Anke's panicked tone sounded, with a hint of anger.

Gao Qingzhu asked solemnly, "How old are you now?" ”

"Twenty-eight." Ding Anke turned her back, because she was seen with burn marks on her body, she looked a little cramped, and wondered why she asked herself, "Why are you asking this?" ”

Twenty-eight...... At the age of sixteen......

"That is, there is a difference of twelve years." Gao Qingzhu muttered to himself.

Gao Qingzhu, who was originally talking to himself, suddenly raised his head, and his sharp amber eyes swept straight at Ding Anke: "Twelve years ago, did the fire in Santang Forest have anything to do with you?" ”

Ding Anke was startled, her slightly angry expression weakened instantly, she did not answer Gao Qingzhu's question immediately, but staggered to hold on to the big tree on the side and wanted to stand up.

"Answer me." Gao Qingzhu asked, "And what's going on with that woman's voice just now?" Is it also related to the fire? ”

"I advise you to ......" Ding Anke, who was facing her back, suddenly spoke, her slender back was like a thin piece of paper, as if the wind was about to blow her down, but such a thin body suddenly made an amazing move.

Ding Anke turned his head suddenly, grabbed Gao Qingzhu's slender neck and pressed it to the ground, the speed was astonishing.

She seems to have completely changed as a person, how can she still have the embarrassed appearance of being injured before, but at this moment, the force in her hand is increasing more and more.

I only heard her faint voice ringing in my ears: "I advise you...... Shut up! ”

……

"Mo Lan......" Yan Hua's eyes were hollow, and he called out to the girl in purple clothes in front of him.

The girl looked back, but it was a blur, and she couldn't see her face clearly.

Yan Hua seemed to be enchanted, and approached the girl's hazy figure step by step, until he reached out and touched it, the figure dissipated into ashes, only to feel that his heart sank, and Yan Hua realized that he had fallen into the illusion laid by someone in the Santang forest.

He turned on the red light around him again, but found that Gao Qingzhu's figure was gone.

I tried calling her name a few times, but still didn't get any response.

Yan Hua began to worry about her safety, regardless of the purpose of coming to Santang Forest this time to find an old friend, right now in this dangerous forest, it is definitely unwise to let an ordinary person alone, and she must be found as soon as possible.
