Chapter 22: Cruelty and Hope

Wen Jing recalled the historical military book "The Imprint of History" that she read during the day. Out of her strong admiration for the later depiction of the plot of the Eastern Front in Europe when she talked to Gao Shuhe, she read it when she turned to more than 400 pages.

After reading it at the time, the suffocating sense of despair revealed in the text was too strong. She vividly remembers wounded Soviet female soldiers waiting for death in a hut surrounded by German troops. On this brutal battlefield, the average survival time of soldiers is only about 10 minutes. Finally, the female soldier shouted "Ula" (a Russian word often shouted by soldiers when they charged) and rushed out of the house, only to be beaten into a hornet's nest before a single shot could be fired.

The author Li Yin's writing is really good, allowing Wen Jing to completely substitute into the plot and the injured Soviet female soldier at that time. She wondered what would happen if she were faced with this despair. However, she didn't even have the courage to commit suicide.

It's exactly the same as your current self. Now, she finally understands what despair is.

"You say, humans can't deal with evil spirits, right? But I want to give it a try! ”

Yun Nai heard Wen Jing's words, sighed, and said, "I'm afraid this can't be realized." ”

"But it's better than sitting around here, right?"

Wen Jing then stopped saying anything to Yun Naiduo, and quickly moved to the door, picking up the ashtray that had fallen on the ground before. At the same time, the chair was pulled over.

Then she paused under the windowsill and said, "This is ...... How about if that thing comes in and we smash it together? ”

Yun Nai shook his head.

"It's useless. Any means you can think of to deal with evil spirits, the inhabitants have all used. Firearms, blades, amulets, crosses, Buddha statues, holy water, black dog blood, all useless. Even some residents used to use black donkey hooves. But, without exception, none of them are useful. All failed. ”

"W-that's unreasonable? If the evil spirit was so strong, the human race would have been extinct a long time ago, how many people have died in vain throughout the ages? ”

"This kind of thing...... How could I possibly know? ”

The evil spirit is approaching step by step, trapped here and unable to get out, in this situation, there is no way to think of a way.

"So be it." Yun Nai came up with a solution that was not a solution: "You can escape to the second floor." For evil spirits, the occupants must be killed, and as for the others, they should be killed or not. You go upstairs, maybe the evil spirit kills me and will let you go. ”

"You...... You're just going to fight this evil spirit for me? ”

Wen Jing was shocked, she didn't expect Yun Nai to be able to do this.

"We are all mothers."

Yun Nai just said this sentence lightly, without joy or sorrow. Perhaps, she had expected that she would have this day, and she had been fully mentally prepared.

Wen Jing grabbed Yun Nai's palm and said, "I won't let you die, if you want to escape, let's go to the second floor together......"

"Think about your child."

After Yun Nai said this, Wen Jing's heart suddenly trembled.

"Let's go! Go up to the second floor! ”

Tears began to well-up in Wen Jing's eyes, and then she said, "Then you...... You...... Take care ......"

The last two words, when she said them, her voice was like a mosquito. Then she walked briskly towards the stairs and quickly ascended the stairs.

After coming to the second floor, Wen Jing lowered her body tremblingly, and moved to the window little by little, but she didn't dare to poke her head out to look at it anymore. Otherwise, if the evil spirit discovers, the consequences will be unimaginable.

She walked into the bedroom, locked the door, took the ashtray, and curled up into a corner.

If...... What should she do if the evil spirit comes?

Do you just use the ashtray in your hand to deal with evil spirits? But I'm afraid it won't be useful either.

Why do you have to go through such a thing?

Why do evil spirits kill innocents for no reason?

Why did you finally decide to give birth to this child, but instead you had to die with this child?

Too many whys are swirling in the mind. However, no one can answer these questions.

Her head was resting against the wall, and the wind and rain outside were getting louder.

She stared at the door in front of her, rubbing her hands together and feeling like she was going crazy if she didn't do something about it now.

For the first time, Wen Jing realized that the passage of time could be so long. As long as a second, it's like a lifetime. Maybe the next moment, she would hear a miserable scream coming from downstairs.

Or perhaps...... There will be no sound.

……

A minute passed......

Two minutes passed......

Three minutes passed......

Four minutes passed......

……

Wen Jing looked at her watch again.

Ten minutes passed. I love Search.com

However, after all this time, there is still no movement downstairs.

No matter how slow it is...... It's been so long, it's time to go, right?

Or is it that the evil spirits are slowly abusing and killing them with the mentality of playing with cats and mice?

Or...... Is it really the same as Yun Nai said, to people outside the household, the evil spirit can be killed or not, so there is no choice to kill her?

However, Wen Jing still had a glimmer of hope in her heart, she slowly leaned on the windowsill, poked her head out slightly, and looked out the window.

In the wind and rain, there was no sign to be seen.

So......

Did it come in?

Is it on the ground floor?

After Yunnai was killed, did it leave?

There are all kinds of possibilities, but there is a glimmer of hope in Wen Jing's heart, maybe the evil spirit will really not kill her again? If she can survive until the end of the Blood Word Mission, then she may be able to go down the mountain.

Wish!

After experiencing despair, Yun Nai realized how satisfying hope is.

After everything she has been through today, she vows to overcome all the odds and raise this child until she becomes an adult.

She must be able to!

Wen Jing fell to her knees and prayed, praying to all the gods that could be remembered in her mind.

Let her live......

Let her give birth to this child......

Please don't...... Let her hopes be dashed!

Please don't let her hopes be disappointed!

Praying...... Praying...... Pray over and over again......

I don't know how long it has been, and suddenly I ...... There was a knock on the door behind him!

"It's me, Wen Jing."

Wen Jing immediately heard that this was Yun Nai's voice!

She rushed to the door, opened the door, and saw Yun Nai safe and sound outside, Wen Jing almost didn't believe her eyes.

"You, are you alright?"

"I don't know why, I'm fine." Yun Nai was already mentally prepared to die, "But it seems that I shouldn't die." ”

"Haha...... Great, great! Wait a minute...... Are you sure it didn't come in? ”

"Evil spirits kill people in a split second, and it's unlikely that it will last that long without doing it. Maybe it was Dong Xie and Li Mingzhong who died and there was a killing interval, so they couldn't kill me for the time being. ”

"Could it be...... Are masks really a way out? Wen Jing immediately pointed to the masks on both sides and said, "I never took off my mask just now. ”

"I've been wearing a mask all the time...... Yun Nai also touched the mask, feeling incredible, "Does it really have anything to do with the mask?" ”

"If that's the case, then let's not take the mask off just in case! Maybe wearing a mask is a way out! ”

"Not necessarily, maybe the evil spirit just approached the house to scare us. This situation is also very common in the Scarlet Quest. In short, we can't take it lightly, and we still have to find a way to find a way out. ”

Yun Nai is obviously more rigorous in his thinking and will not accept this conclusion easily.

"And I can't understand why wearing a mask can be considered a ...... way out."

"It's best to be able to join Dong Xie and them......"

Yun Nai walked to the window and pushed it with her hand.

This time......

The windows opened.

"Whew......" Yun Nai breathed a sigh of relief, "Great." Maybe it's really just to scare us. ”

"I just prayed to every god I could think of." Although the wind blowing outside was very cold, Wen Jing felt very warm, "This world is indeed cruel, but it is indeed full of hope." ”

"yes...... A brutal ...... And the beautiful world. That's what it means to be alive. ”

Yun Nai pulled the window up again, but there was a small gap in the middle.

"We've got to figure it out...... Go find Dong Xie and them as soon as possible! ”
