In the small room, a kerosene lamp shaped like a thin-waisted and big-bellied gourd stands quietly on the old wooden table. The soft light shines through the dusty glass and spills onto the wall, reflecting Zhou Xueqiu's shadow.

Perhaps it was as old as its owner, and the light it emitted was no longer strong, and the wick of the cotton rope was about to burn out, and it was coming to the end of its life.

A smell of burning kerosene peeked out of the lamp and swam through the air. Zhou Xueqiu's nose twitched, and he smelled this smell that couldn't be said to like or dislike, and his heart was quite complicated.

Leaving Wawu Village, Zhou Xueqiu did not stay in the village, but walked in the direction of the mountain. Towards nightfall, he found a room, and after negotiating with the owner of the house, he easily stayed there.

The whole process was not as difficult as he thought.

The owner of the house was an elderly man who lived alone, hunched over, moving slowly, standing quietly in the doorway on crutches, like a sculpture. When he saw Zhou Xueqiu's figure, he was very enthusiastic, obviously he hadn't come into contact with strangers for a long time.

From the mouth of this old man, Zhou Xueqiu learned a story that shocked him.

"That was many years ago. A girl from the village was admitted to the city's middle school, and the whole village happily sent her there. Her family lives in the village, and the old man's eyes are cloudy, as if he is caught in the memory of the past, "and then a fire burns everything...... Some people say that this fire was set by one person. ”

"Who is it?" Zhou Xueqiu instinctively caught the old man's flickering words.

"I don't know who it is, this person hasn't been caught either," the old man shook his head, "Many people have left Wawu Mountain and never returned." They seem to be scared...... I'm afraid that one day I'll be set on fire and burned down completely......"

The old man's voice had a sense of vicissitudes, pulling Zhou Xueqiu back to that black time. It was as if he saw a raging fire burning in front of him, and the burning sensation burned his skin with a phantench-painful pain......

Buzzing.

The phone vibrates.

Zhou Xueqiu slowly moved his hand to the position of his pocket and took out his mobile phone.

His movements were natural, and the old man did not have the slightest suspicion about it.

When the mobile phone screen lit up and the picture was slowly loaded, a sneer appeared on Zhou Xueqiu's face inexplicably.

Sure enough, it was as he had guessed.

The picture is still the left hand of the beast, like a pit of an arm corroded by sulfuric acid, and the charred skin is faintly red, reminiscent of burning charcoal.

And the background of this photo...... It's in Tian Yixue's courtyard!

The room layout that Zhou Xueqiu felt familiar with, as well as the old light bulb that emitted a dim yellow glow, all confirmed his guess from the side.

These Chosen Ones had been acting together from the beginning, and it was not until after the first disagreement that Zhou Xueqiu left.

At that time, Zhou Xueqiu was thinking about such a question: the background of each photo is close to the position of the people, so once they disperse, will the beast also disperse into several parts and quietly follow them?

When Zhou Xueqiu wanted to share these things with everyone, the girl named Li Xue appeared again.

Tian Yixue, who disappeared with her, did not come back, which was enough to arouse Zhou Xueqiu's suspicion of her. Li Dong's reaction and the silence of Zhang Bing and others made Zhou Xueqiu extinguish his desire to share the news, and he deliberately created a conflict and left everyone with a reasonable excuse.

Thinking of this, Zhou Xueqiu was slightly relieved, he knew that perhaps the most difficult time was about to pass.

……

Nightmare Eye!

Why can the power of the monster still be used?

No one can answer Zhuo Xuan's doubts at this moment.

The power from the strange thing seemed to sense his mind and brought him into Li Xue's consciousness. What unfolded in front of his eyes was the scene of fragments falling apart, and then, a wave of dizziness hit, and Zhuo Xuan was completely unconscious.

……

Open your eyes.

Zhuo Xuan's face was dull, he silently stared at the young man sitting in the dark, he faced the TV, looking at the black hair that came out of the TV and slowly approached, but he was indifferent.

"Get out of the way!"

With a loud shout, before the words fell, Zhuo Xuan threw himself towards the indifferent shadow.

His body seemed to penetrate a black curtain, easily penetrating the body of the young Liu Yuxiao; The black hair sticking out of the TV shot out as if it had found a target, wrapping around Zhuo Xuan's neck.

A feeling of suffocation flooded Zhuo Xuan's heart, his breathing gradually became weak, his face became red, his eyes were still struggling to turn, and his eyes were still struggling to turn, and his eyes climbed onto the figure of the young man who was about to disappear......

Crunch.

The sound of the door was suddenly opened, breaking the dead silence.

In Zhuo Xuan's sight, a teenager walked out yawning. He picked up the water cup placed on the table, turned around and came to the water dispenser, and after the sound of the water was heard, there was the sound of thirsty drinking, like a traveler who had been walking in the desert for a long time.

So that's it......

Zhuo Xuan's mind naturally recalled the plot of the TV series, the black shadow that appeared next to the boy and could not be noticed - it was this girl named Li Xue, and Li Xue had already died.

Zhuo Xuan, who figured this out, completely gave up struggling, and the strand of black hair dragged him into the TV, and everything slowly calmed down again.

……

"Whew! Whew......"

Heavy gasps came from Zhuo Xuan's mouth, his back was soaked with cold sweat, and he didn't care about feeling tired, so he got up from the ground.

At her feet, the girl named Li Xue was still asleep. The scene in front of her seemed to have been unfiltered, her skin was as pale as paper, and her lips had a strange bright red.

Isn't that what it is...... What the hell?

The slain man became a ghost, manipulated by the power of the beast, stiffened like a puppet.

Zhuo Xuan's face was dazed, and he pushed open the door leading to the corridor, and little by little, he took a step to leave here. He leaned against the wall, not looking back, the scene behind him unreal, as quiet and shattered as a mirror covered in cobwebs.

He already understands why.

Everything in front of me is nothing more than a dream.

Although the black watch had turned into an ordinary watch, and the strange things had disappeared, Zhuo Xuan knew that they were only covered by a layer of obscuring power.

However, the beast can conceal the appearance, but it cannot envelop the fire-like truth.

Because of Zhuo Xuan's own reasons, the black watch did not give him the ability to "trick". However, the "Nightmare Eye" had long been embedded in Zhuo Xuan's eye sockets, and this strange thing could not be easily concealed unless it was picked out and peeled off with his own hands.

In this way, he accidentally unraveled another mystery.

When he first entered this space, Zhuo Xuan experienced the drumming and flower passing game that was equivalent to "prompting".

Everyone except him is a ghost.

The beast is still hiding in the shadows.
