Chapter 160: Dead Man
There was silence between us, and I could clearly feel the panic in their hearts.
It's the panic that this blood book brings.
"This thing won't cause us any trouble, right?" Xiao Cheng approached me and asked, I didn't answer his question right away, I raised my eyes to see the panic under his eyes, and then nodded.
There is no doubt that the blood book will cause us trouble.
"Why is this record so so...," Atza hissed, reaching out and scratching the back of his head, "It's unbelievable." β
Compared to Xiao Cheng, Atcha looked much calmer.
We had our own thoughts, and we didn't notice that the lights in the inn began to flicker on and off, and we didn't react until the inn was completely dark.
"Why is this dark? What about electricity? Xiao Cheng's anxious voice came from behind me, I rolled up the blood book and put it back in my arms, it was pitch black in front of me, and I could only judge whether we were safe or not according to the sounds around me.
Atcha and Xiao Cheng each stood on either side of me, Xiao Cheng seemed to be unable to stand the darkness, cold sweat began to appear on his head, and asked me, "What's going on?" β
Atza warned him not to make a sound, to remain silent, and silence began to return, and I began to remember what was around us from memory, but my mind was blurry, and I couldn't remember what the dΓ©cor of the inn was like.
Because I haven't spoken, no one can see anyone in the dark, Xiao Cheng thought I had disappeared, and swallowed nervously: "Zhengxin, are you there?" β
Hearing his nervousness, I hurriedly said, "I'm here." As the words fell, there was the sound of walking not far away, and I followed the source of the sound and looked vigilantly at the place in front of us.
The footsteps came from where, slow and heavy, adding to the oppressive atmosphere, the sound was gradual, I reached out to take out my phone and turn on the flash, at this time the footsteps stopped, the sound stopped abruptly, which did not let us relax, but a little more panicked, no one knew what was coming, nor did they know where it was, why it suddenly stopped.
There seemed to be only the sound of a heartbeat in the silent inn, and after a few seconds, there was the sound of someone talking.
"A few guest officers, do you want to serve?"
It's Xiao Er's voice, if we knew that Xiao Er was a ghost, we might be relieved to hear this voice, but now, the blood book tells us that Xiao Er is a ghost.
I immediately protected Xiao Cheng and Acha behind me, and on my left I also heard the sound of Xiao Jingwen leading his people back.
"Do you want to serve?"
This time, the sound was more obvious, as if it was whispering in our ears, Xiao Cheng and Atcha pressed tightly behind me, and their breathing gradually became heavy.
"Do you want any service?"
The voice came to Xiao Jingwen's side again, and the tone seemed to become a little impatient, and I heard Xiao Jingwen's men exclaiming, followed by some panicked footsteps.
This footstep is obviously a person, and it is not the same as Xiao Er's footsteps.
I knew that Xiao Er was probably hurting people, and I felt that I couldn't sit still anymore, so I reminded them loudly: "Find Xiao Er." β
Although everyone was reluctant in their hearts, they didn't dare to resist, so they had to follow us and start looking for Xiao Er's traces everywhere.
"Zhengxin, must we look for it?"
Atcha opened his mouth to ask me, his voice was a little hoarse, and it was no longer the calm appearance he had before.
Little by little, darkness swallowed up the minds of the people, and anxiety and fear gradually took possession of them.
"Do you want any service?"
Xiao Er's voice came again, this time the voice was extremely ethereal, with a bit of indescribable charm, I no longer looked for the source of the sound, but touched all corners of the inn.
Time kept passing, and everyone's anxiety became more and more, and even Atcha and Xiao Chengdu began to express their dissatisfaction.
"Zhengxin, don't look for it, Xiao Er is a soul, can you find it?"
I touched the black and sensitively noticed that something seemed to pass by the side of my ear, "Since it can transform into a human form, it is not simple, it may be harmful to others." β
Although the feeling was fleeting, I didn't attribute it to a hallucination, and now at this moment, I can only be so vigilant.
I turned around and pushed the table against me, as if I had touched something, I stared at the place, reached out and pushed it in a little more, and the thing I had touched was gone.
Sure enough, in a humanoid state, I raised my eyebrows and continued walking along the walls of the inn.
After a few steps forward, there was a smell of blood from the tip of his nose.
Why does it smell of blood?
"You smell it too?"
Only then did I realize that Xiao Jingwen was standing next to me, and nodded, "If you go a little further, you will probably know what the smell of blood is all about." β
Sure enough, the further I went, the stronger the smell of blood became, and as soon as my heart sank, my leg hit something.
Xiao Jingwen also stopped, I squatted down, reached out and touched this thing, and the general outline of the thing was a leg.
And it's human legs.
Xiao Jingwen didn't squat down and touch it like I did, and asked me what it was with his arms crossed.
"It's a human leg."
I said, and then my eyes lit up, the inn restored the lights, looking at the corpse in front of me, my heart sank completely, it was indeed a corpse, and it was wearing the clothes of a monk, it should be Xiao Jingwen's person.
The death was so tragic that the only thing that remained intact was the part above the nose.
His eyes were bloodshot and terrified, as if he had seen something terrible, the area below his nose and vanished, and the blood was dripping with an unknown green liquid.
Thankfully, I didn't touch it.
In addition to the part of the body below the nose, half of the flesh on the left arm was also missing.
In addition to the smell of blood, there was a smell of rotting flesh in the air, and I remembered the footsteps before, and probably knew that maybe by that time, the person would have died.
Except for me and Xiao Jingwen, who were a little closer to the corpse, everyone else stood not far away and didn't dare to come.
I didn't know what to do, so I could only close his eyes that hadn't been closed yet, and I heard Xiao Jingwen's ridicule on the side.
"Heh, people are dead, what are you still doing here?"
He seemed to have put all the blame on me, and I paused, and then got up and said, "What are you going to do, people?" β
"He died because of you, and now you ask me what to do?"
Xiao Jingwen looked at me scrutinically: "If it weren't for the blood book in your hand, he wouldn't have died, you know?" β
He seemed to believe that this was the truth, and reprimanded me without mercy.
His tone was full of sarcasm, and I frowned dissatisfiedly: "The blood book is not mine, and besides, how can you be sure that the blood book is the key cause of his death?" β
