Chapter 25: The Space That Doesn't Exist (Part I)
After the black hair was burned out, the monster turned out to be a strange skeleton, even if Officer Niu was well-informed, he was still scared half to death, staying in place and not knowing how to react.
The ghostly light in the skeleton's eyes flickered, and there was no superfluous movement at all, and he rushed straight at the Taoist priest, but the Taoist priest was so easy to deal with, and that was the fire that burned the sharpest claws of the skeleton. Without claws, this skeleton also looks more terrifying, and after several rounds of fighting, the Taoist priest found that this thing was not as terrible as the legend, and his heart was relieved, and he abandoned the defense for the attack, and his palms were shot out again and again, and the bones on the skeleton's body fell straight down.
Soon, the skeleton found that the Taoist priest was not easy to mess with, and the green light in his eyes was uncertain, as if he was thinking, and then, the skeleton abandoned the Taoist priest and turned to Niu Gang.
Since the monster showed its true face, Officer Niu has been standing aside, at this time the skeleton suddenly pounced, he didn't have time to react, but years of criminal investigation work has trained his extraordinary instinct, subconsciously raised the gun to shoot. Two shots were fired in succession, although they were both hit, but the bullets hit the white bones as if they were hitting a steel plate, only splashing some sparks, and did not cause any substantial damage at all.
In this way, the white bones directly threw him to the ground, and instantly scuffled together. is different from the Taoist priest, the Taoist priest has the blessing of Taoist true qi, and he is restrained by the white bone skeleton, while Officer Niu is just an ordinary person, although his skills are also good, but he can never be compared with demons and evils, and he soon hung up.
The Taoist priest on the side hurriedly stepped forward to help, but saw the flickering green glow in the skull come out and crawl silently towards Officer Niu's ears, and at this time, Niu Gang was struggling to stalemate with the skeleton, not realizing that the danger was approaching.
At the last moment, the Taoist priest took three steps and made two steps, and grabbed Niu Gang's ears at the moment when the green light was about to penetrate, and at a glance, he found that the true face of the green light was actually a worm covered in glowing scales and looked like a large centipede.
This is a corpse golem? Without waiting for the Taoist priest to think about it, a sudden stinging pain came from his hand, and it turned out that the sharp barbs on the corpse puppet insect scale armor had cut through the Taoist priest's fingers. The Taoist priest immediately threw it out, picked up the pistol that Officer Niu had dropped on the ground, and fired two shots at the glowing terrifying bug, until the worm's flesh and blood were blurred and green juice splashed everywhere.
After the corpse puppet insect was killed, the skeleton frame pressed on Officer Niu's body turned into a black mist in an instant and disappeared, and the Taoist priest helped the frightened Officer Niu, and when he went to see the corpse of the worm, he found that the corpse puppet worm that had been beaten was gone.
However, the Taoist priest was also in the mood to investigate, and the two of them were both in this accident, and they didn't know whether the skeleton's claws were poisonous or not, so as soon as the two discussed, they immediately retreated, planning to go to us and discuss countermeasures.
But what they didn't expect was that as soon as they came out, they saw two people lying next to the village monument, turned on the flashlight, and found that it was me and He Xiaoyi.
……
I took a deep breath and digested what he said in my head. The Taoist priest's description was completely different from what I saw, and what I saw before I fell was that he caught up with the ghost and fought with it, and then Niu Gang caught up with it, but according to what he said now, they hadn't really encountered the ghost so far, which was really unbelievable.
After the Taoist priest finished talking about what happened to them, he asked what happened to the two of us. I recounted what happened to me just now, and the Taoist priest's face suddenly changed, and he said, Isn't it because his eyes were confused by unclean things and he fell into a hallucination?
I pointed to the scars on my body from the bushes and said that it was impossible, and if it was a hallucination, how could these wounds be explained?
The atmosphere suddenly became a little weird, and the chill swelled up, and then Officer Niu spoke: "Dao Chief, Xiao Zhang, judging from the current situation, I am afraid that it will be more dangerous for us to look for it again, I suggest that we go back first, and wait for tomorrow to look for it at dawn, first, it is not easy to find someone in this big night, and secondly, we can gather more helpers tomorrow, more people are powerful, it is better than a few of us wandering around in the dark." ”
I know that Officer Niu is retreating, what happened just now has completely subverted his worldview, but this is also human nature, and He Xiaoyi is still in a coma, even if it is He Xiaoyi, he can't continue.
"Officer Niu's words are very reasonable, reporter, why don't we go back first, and it's not too late to look for it when it's dawn." The Taoist priest also persuaded me, I glanced at the dark and deep valley mouth outside the stone tablet, and then looked at the blood mouth on the Taoist priest's body, sighed, and said That's okay, go back first.
Both of them breathed a sigh of relief, did not delay at all, picked up He Xiaoyi and walked back. I still wonder where that place was, and who rescued us from it.
Grandma didn't find it, the mystery became more and more, and before leaving, I looked back at the bloodstained village monument, and there was always a sense of familiarity. As soon as I blinked, a bloody human head suddenly appeared on the stele, grinning, looking at me with an extremely strange smile. I rubbed my eyes violently, and when I looked again, the head was gone.
Is it a hallucination? I felt goosebumps wrinkled all over my body, and I felt a chill inexplicably, so I hurriedly withdrew my gaze and beckoned the Taoist priest to hurry up.
On the way back, we didn't encounter the ghost again, but we encountered the strange phenomenon mentioned by He Xiaoyi's mouth, no matter how we walked, but in the end we still went back to the place where the village monument was.
Officer Niu looked panicked and asked the Taoist priest what to do, in his opinion, the Taoist priest was really an out-and-out master, and these weird things could only be asked to him.
I also looked at the Taoist priest, and at the moment our situation is very similar to that of ghosts hitting the wall, but after all, I am an outsider, and this kind of problem still has to be solved by professionals. However, the Taoist priest was also sweating at this time, and looking at the situation, he didn't seem to be able to see the clues.
"No! This fucking doesn't seem to be a ghost hitting the wall, and my set is useless! ”
"What then? So, we're going to have to spend the night here tonight? "I also began to start a void in my heart, I thought that it would be safe after reconciling with the Taoist priest, but I didn't expect this product to be unreliable, no, when this incident is over, I must worship a master as a teacher.
On the other side of the village monument, there was a sudden sound of footsteps in the direction of the valley, and at the same time, it seemed that a black shadow was running towards this side. Our hearts lifted all at once, and we stared nervously at the darkness over there, not even daring to turn on our flashlights.
Soon, the voice came to me, appeared in the area shrouded in the flashlight, and after seeing the person's face clearly, I was stunned, only to see that the person who appeared in the dark was actually Sister Bailing.
This is really unexpected good news, just now I was worried about where Sister Bailing went, but I didn't expect her to appear.
I just wanted to call her, but she covered her mouth, and when I was puzzled, I saw her face solemn and made a gesture not to speak, and then she grabbed me, and asked me to hold the Taoist priest, and the Taoist priest pulled Officer Niu, and several people strung together in a line.
She told us to follow her, not to let go, and then she took out a white lotus candle from her cloth bag, and blew on the wick, and the candle was so bright. The cold candlelight trembled slightly, she told us to turn off the flashlight, and we did so, and suddenly the surroundings went dark, leaving only the ghostly light of the white candle jumping and flickering in the darkness.
The picture is a little weird, but the moment your eyes touch the candle flame, there is a kind of warmth flowing in your body.
The candle flame always went in one direction, and Sister Bailing took us in that direction, and as we walked, Sister Bailing in front of us suddenly disappeared.
I panicked in my heart, but my hand was still tightly pulled, conveying a warm breath, and the light of the candle flame was still jumping and flickering, I was busy taking a step forward, the moment I stepped out, I felt light, and my breathing and even thinking suddenly became relaxed. It was like suddenly coming to the forest from a place full of exhaust fumes, and the sudden change of space made me wonder if I was dreaming.
