Chapter 43: The First Accident
In front of the ruins, we went from shock at the beginning, to incredulity, to horror, and then to a long silence.
Aside from the silence, I couldn't think of a reaction to what I saw. Judging from the dilapidation of the ruins, it has been more than ten years since the coffin shop became a ruin, but what happened here the day before yesterday is still vivid. If the coffin shop no longer existed more than ten years ago, what was the old man who talked to us in the shop?
I can't believe that such a real person can be fake, but if he is not human, why should he give us all that advice?
Enigma, more and more mysteries wrap the already mysterious town even more strangely, and I even began to doubt and doubt everything I see with my eyes now, which ones are real and which ones are not?
The three of them were silent for a long time in front of the ruins, and I thought a lot, and I'm sure the doctor and Roy thought a lot too, but it didn't matter, because the longer we stayed here, the more we thought about it, and the more we felt our scalps tingle, so we left there.
Because of the ruins, we were not in the mood to continue searching, and we didn't dare to trespass again, because we didn't know if the townsfolk who were chasing us would suddenly jump out from behind a certain corner. As a result, we had to abandon the streets and take the alleys we had never walked before.
It is said to be a laneway, but in fact, it is a narrow gap between two wooden buildings, which can only allow one person to pass through. The cracks between this kind of wooden buildings are very remote, and it is common for no one to pass by for several years, and the light in the alleyway is dim, and the bluestone floor is very damp, and a layer of slippery moss grows over time, and it will slip if you step on it.
Walking in this cramped space, it feels very bad, but fortunately, such a narrow road is not long and leads to the end, every time you pass through one or two wooden buildings, there will be relatively wide alleys in front of the narrow road, but the direction of these alleys is not to the inn, so we can only take the narrow road. It doesn't feel good, but it's better to be hidden and safe.
I don't have a good sense of direction, I go to a strange place, as long as the place is a little bigger, I can get blind, even if I walk two or three times, I can get lost. But the strange thing is that this situation does not exist in the countryside or in the deep mountains and old forests, but unfortunately, it is now in a densely populated town, and these wooden buildings are disorganized, it seems that they have not been planned, they are very chaotic, and I am even more confused about the direction in such an environment, so the doctor is leading the way back, Luo Yi is a girl, following the doctor, and I am in charge of the palace.
I don't know how many dark and slippery narrow roads I crossed, at first I was still a little psychologically uncomfortable, always worried that something would fall from the top of my head and hit us, but in the back, all I saw were long gutter-like slits and wooden walls on both sides that had been eroded by wind and rain.
Just as I felt like I was about to turn into a soulless walking corpse, all the hairs on my body exploded all at once, and a feeling of extreme danger rose from my heart, and immediately pulled me back from that numbness. This sudden sense of crisis has been a few times before, the most recent one was on the roof of Lin Qiaoer's house, someone used a poison needle to plot against me and the Taoist priest, my body had an early warning in advance, so that I was in danger of escaping, and now my body has this premonition again, is it ......
I was shocked, looked back and forth, but there was nothing, and then subconsciously looked at the top of my head, almost peeing my pants in fright. I saw that in the flickering open window on the third floor of the wooden building on our right, there was a person who leaned out and looked down, but what was terrifying was that the person's face had no facial features, just like a flat human skin covering a person's face.
I was suddenly frightened out of a white sweat, opened my mouth and wanted to speak, but I felt that my neck was stuck by something, I couldn't shout, my feet didn't obey the call and froze in place, obviously there was no facial features, but I felt very clearly that the face was staring at me, and I could even feel his gaze sweeping over me.
Loy and the doctor didn't notice anything unusual about me, but walked on their own, and the fear in my heart suddenly crept to a climax, and I watched the two of them drift away, and I couldn't make a single move to inform them of my situation, and soon this fear turned into despair. My heart grew cold a little, and I looked at that strange face in despair, as if as long as I waited for Luo Yi and the doctor to go away, it would suddenly rush down and eat me.
Just as my heart sank to the bottom and tears flowed out, Luo Yi suddenly stopped. In an instant, my almost cold heart immediately became active again, and I kept shouting in my heart: Turn around, turn around, turn around and see, Lao Tzu has an accident, take a look......
I don't know if the cry in my heart played a role, or if Loy didn't hear my footsteps and wondered, she actually turned her head. I can't describe how I felt at that moment, excited, ecstatic, happy? Anyway, I burst into tears at this moment, and the rest of my life felt like I had been reborn. Such a strange expression fell on Luo Yi's eyes, which naturally aroused her suspicions, and she looked at me in surprise and asked, "Reporter, what's wrong with you?" Why are you stunned, let's go! ”
At this time, the doctor also turned around and noticed that I was abnormal. Seeing me crying and laughing stupidly, Luo Yi felt even more strange in her heart, and turned around and walked towards me. At this time, I was almost crazy with joy, and my heart said that I was finally saved, but when my eyes swept over the window on the top of the building again, I was taken aback, and I saw that the faceless man had an extra black kitchen knife in his hand at some point, hanging out of the window, and Luo Yi was walking under the window step by step.
My eyes widened suddenly, and I shouted in my heart: "Don't come, don't come......"
However, no matter how I shouted, the voice was stuck in my throat, and I couldn't get out a single one, and what was even worse was that I lost even the ability to make expressions at this time, and I watched Luo Yi walk under the kitchen knife, and the despair of Fang Cai suddenly came up again, but this time it was even more sad, because I was about to watch a pretty girl be killed by a falling butcher knife in front of me.
No, no......
I roared in my heart, and at the same time glared hard, constantly glaring at Luo Yi, but it was useless, although Luo Yi felt wrong, he still didn't understand what I meant, but rolled his eyes: "Hey, you have a needle eye?" ”
I almost couldn't help but spurt out a mouthful of old blood, if I were a Taoist priest, I would have already understood the meaning of my eyes, but Luoyi, I just have a good relationship with her, and I don't have that high sense of tacit understanding.
Finished! Seeing that Luo Yi had already walked under the knife, I chuckled in my heart and wailed in my heart, and at the same time, the faceling's hand holding the knife suddenly let go, and I closed my eyes in despair when I saw that the kitchen knife that was shining with cold light was about to fall on Luo Yi's head in the next second.
Boom! Ouch!
The sound of the kitchen knife slashing on the bluestone floor and Luo Yi's exclamation sounded at the same time, I don't feel that the situation is quite right, if the kitchen knife hits someone, it shouldn't make this kind of sound of gold and stone, and Luo Yi also screamed, could it be dodged?
I suddenly opened my eyes and saw that the doctor was pressed against Luo Yi, and both of them fell to the ground, and at the doctor's feet, the kitchen knife with a cold light cut into the gap between the two bluestone floor tiles, and the inquiring nail was nailed to the ground. With just one glance, I understood what was going on, it must have been the doctor who had discovered that something was wrong, and at the last moment, he knocked down Luo Yi and dodged the fatal blow of the kitchen knife.
I breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time felt my body regain consciousness and suddenly fell limply to the ground.
"Ouch, it hurts Ben girl to death, doctor, why are you pushing me, ahhhh......h
Luo Yi's voice was blocked in her throat when she saw the kitchen knife inserted in the ground, a pair of watery eyes stared at the boss, I said to her weakly: "You really have no eyesight, my eyes are about to pop out, you haven't understood yet, fortunately the doctor found out in advance, otherwise you would have hung up, thank you doctor!" ”
"Ah......h
It was only then that Luo Yi let out a piercing scream, and his little face turned pale. The doctor also stood up, staring at the moss-stained area on his trouser legs, his brow furrowed, and then looked up at me, "What's the matter?" ”
"Above, the window, the monster ......" I pointed to the window above me, my fear still subsided, and I was still a little unpleasant to speak, but when I looked up, I saw that there was nothing in the window.
My face changed, and I pointed to the window and said, "There was a strange man with no facial features there just now, and he attacked us with a kitchen knife." ”
As soon as I finished speaking, the doctor had already moved, only to see him supporting the wooden walls on both sides with his hands and feet, and climbed up very quickly, more than ten meters high, he only took less than a minute to climb to the open window, and then the other foot kicked hard, and the whole person got into the window.
"Damn, be careful!"
The doctor's movements were so fast, I just reacted, he had already gotten into the building, I tried to be afraid like him, but I only climbed less than two meters before I slipped and fell, it turned out that there was also a layer of invisible moss on the wooden boards on both sides, and it was easy to slide down if the force was uneven.
Just when I was feeling anxious, I saw the doctor come out of the window and slide down in the same position.
