Chapter 21: The Grave Horror
The distance of more than forty meters should have been reached soon, but the strange thing is that when we walked forward ten meters, the ghost seemed to retreat ten meters, always keeping a distance from our field of vision but unable to see clearly, but we could not see the ghost moving at all.
I suddenly had the illusion that we were walking on a moving treadmill, and no matter how we went, we were still in the same place.
Of course, this is impossible, but in fact we can't get close to the White Shadow. In this way, the Taoist priest and I can already rule out the possibility that the white shadow is human.
After chasing for a while, the Taoist priest couldn't hold his breath anymore, and roared in a low voice: "Damn, take the poor Dao to open the water, don't let the Taoist master catch you, otherwise you will never be able to live forever." With that, he ran straight away, and chased after the ghost as fast as he could.
Needless to say, the skills of the Taoist priest are needless to say, Niu Gang has been doing criminal investigation work for so many years, and his physical strength is also excellent.
This happened too suddenly, without any warning, and I secretly scolded the dead Taoist priest for running away without notifying him in advance, and beckoned He Xiaoyi and Sister Bailing to follow. The two people in front of me were extremely fast, we couldn't catch up at all, I could only run and shine forward, at the edge of the aperture where the flashlight diverged to the extreme, I saw that the Taoist priest had caught up with the white shadow, and was entangled with the ghost, it seemed to be done.
"Well done!" I was overjoyed, although the specific situation was not very clear, the Taoist priest obviously had the upper hand. As soon as I was happy, my tense nerves suddenly relaxed, and I forgot to look at my feet, and before I could laugh, my front foot had tripped over something, and I fell down at once.
By feeling, what stumbled me over me seemed to be a square stone tablet. I exclaimed, and before I could take a closer look, I felt that the ground was not flat, but a very steep slope.
At this time, I didn't care about where the slope came from, and with my two hands protecting my head and important parts of my body, I knocked down countless thorny bushes along the way, and countless small bloody wounds were cut on my hands and face, and finally hit the trunk of an unknown tree before I barely stopped.
The burning pain came from all parts of my body, and I endured the pain and climbed up, and my foot slipped and rolled down for four or five meters, and I fell heavily to the ground. Feeling the flatness of the ground, I knew the slope was finally at the end.
When I had recovered my senses, I hurriedly looked around and found that I had gone from the confines of the village to a clearing sandwiched between three mountains.
The light here is much better without the shelter of the trees, and there are dozens of low mounds and some broken stone monuments, some of which are covered with discolored paper hangers.
When I saw this scene, I was immediately shocked, this was actually a mass grave, the dense dilapidated mound, I don't know how many people were buried here. I was already frightened by the white shadow, but I didn't expect that now I accidentally broke into a dilapidated mass grave, and I have nothing to say about my luck.
Knowing that this is a mass grave, when I look at these mounds, I always feel that they are gloomy. I didn't want to stay here, so I hurriedly stepped back, but I just took a few steps back, and I didn't want to tripped over something under my feet, and my whole body lost my balance, and I fell seriously and ate.
Fortunately, the meadow in this cemetery was very thick, and I didn't have anything to do when I fell, but I didn't feel the slightest sense of happiness in my heart, because what tripped me was definitely not wood or stone, that kind of soft feeling, the touch of a person.
Sure enough, I rolled over and got up, turned around and looked, only to see a person lying on the ground. My heart jumped, and I hurriedly took a few steps back, I had already suffered a big loss before, and I must see it clearly before acting. After going around the circle and making sure that it was really a person, I was relieved, and when I looked closely, I was taken aback.
The person lying on the ground was not He Xiaoyi, the policewoman who was still with me just now?
Damn, it seems that I am not the only one who tripped and fell, but on the flat path paved with bluestone strips, how could there suddenly be an extra stone monument? And this mass grave, I have lived in my hometown for 12 years, and even if I leave after that, I must come back once a year, and I have never heard of a mass grave near the village.
I looked at He Xiaoyi and found that her eyes were closed, her face was pale, and she was fine except for some shortness of breath. To be honest, He Xiaoyi gave me a very bad impression, she was rude and willful and unreasonable, but she also had a strong sense of justice, and she was also here to help me, and now that she has become like this, she naturally can't ignore her.
She just fainted from the shock, I did some measures for her, pinched the person, pressed the special acupuncture points on the top of her head, and soon she woke up.
He Xiaoyi's first reaction when he woke up was to look around in a panic, with a frightened face. Immediately after she found me, she was shocked again, and quickly asked, "Why are you?" ”
I looked at her a little embarrassed and told her that we both fell, but she didn't listen at all, and stood up in a panic, looking around, as if looking for something.
"What are you looking for?" I'm a little weird.
Suddenly, He Xiaoyi withdrew his eyes from side to side, looked at me in horror for a while, and said word by word: "There are ghosts here!" ”
Seeing her frightened appearance, I suddenly felt a little funny: "Officer He, don't you believe these things?" Why does this say that there are ghosts? ”
He Xiaoyi saw that I was still laughing at her, and suddenly became anxious: "It's true, there are really ghosts, just now... Just now... I saw a bloody head grinning at me, and I fell here. ”
"Head? Didn't you trip and fall? "He Xiaoyi's words made me feel a little bad.
She shook her head repeatedly: "No, I was so frightened that I lost my bearings and ran around, so I stepped on the air, and that head was the head of the deceased who was collected in the morning, but the head has been sent to the ancestral hall to take care of it!" ”
As soon as she finished speaking, suddenly, I don't know which grave there was a clicking sound, my body instinctively stiffened, my back was cold, and I couldn't think about what she said, and hurriedly looked in the direction of the voice.
Under the faint moonlight, I saw the white sails on the grave swaying and trembling from time to time, thinking that they should be blown by the wind, but they couldn't see anything.
I took a deep breath and glanced at He Xiaoyi, but saw that her face was pale and her body was still trembling. She was so frightened that I couldn't get any better, so I hurriedly said to her: "Let's go quickly, that Taoist priest is a capable person, as long as he makes peace with them, even if there are really ghosts, don't be afraid." ”
After speaking, when she was about to walk forward, she found that she was motionless looking in the direction where the voice had just come from. I felt a little strange, so I went up to pull her, and as soon as I came into contact with her body, I noticed that her body was shaking violently, and it was unusually cold.
She muttered in a trembling voice, "Look there, there, there, is there something." ”
After encountering the previous things, and now being in such an environment, my heart is already broken enough, and He Xiaoyi's reaction at this time released the fear that I had finally suppressed again.
I followed the direction of her eyes and looked over, it was still the scene just now, a few sparse white sails were constantly swaying under the breeze, looking from a distance, like a white-clothed ghost floating in the air, revealing a sense of forest, was approaching us, wait, closer, I suddenly widened my eyes, and was shocked to find that at this time, the grass and trees on the mass grave were still, and there was half a trace of wind. When I looked back, I was horrified to find that it was a white sail similar to a ghost, which was clearly a real "ghost" floating on the grave and slowly drifting towards this side!
Cold sweat fell, no wonder I was wrong before, tonight's moon was already covered by dark clouds, those things were very similar to the white sails inserted in the surrounding graves, and their speed was surprisingly slow, at first glance, it was not a few white sails that were fluttering.
"What's that?" Although I knew that this was a knowingly question, I still couldn't help but ask out loud, as if only when I asked, my heart would be less afraid, of course, this is just self-deception.
Obviously, this female police officer, who is not much older than me, is in a worse state than me at the moment, trembling all over, already scared stupid, let alone answering me.
At this moment, I noticed that it was not only the floating white shadows that were approaching us, but also the darkness-shrouded tombs, there were faint things moving, and although I couldn't see clearly, I could feel that they were trying to move towards us.
Seeing this, I couldn't help but gasp, and suddenly, there was a sound of teeth chattering in my ears, and I was startled, and I hurriedly turned my head to look, only to see that the paleness of the policewoman's face was now completely replaced by fear and horror, and she pointed to a tomb near us, trembling constantly, and opened her mouth to speak, but she could not make a sound anyway.
I hurriedly followed the direction of her finger, and the moment I saw the picture hidden in the darkness, I suddenly screamed in fright.
It was a deserted grave that had been covered by weeds, and at this moment, I saw that the dirt on the grave was slowly being moved to both sides, and a bloody head was stained with a large amount of slime and maggots, and one side of the face had rotted so much that only Sensen's white bones remained, and at this time he was struggling to poke his head out of the ground, and the corners of his mouth on the other side that were still stained with rotten flesh and blood were hooked up in an arc at this time, like that, as if he was smiling at me.
In an instant, a cold chill swept over my body, and then I saw a picture of fear that I will never forget in my life, not only the grave mound, but also several nearby deserted graves, all of which were constantly shaking at this time, and some of them had even leaned out of half of their bodies, struggling to wave their hands at me.
I held back my nausea and fear, pulled up He Xiaoyi, who was already scared stupid next to me, and rushed towards the hillside like crazy.
It's also strange to say that He Xiaoyi, who was stiff before and completely lost her mobility, actually ran with me at this time, although her movements were still a little stiff, but she finally had the ability to act, otherwise I really didn't know how to take her out.
We had just run less than ten meters when his body suddenly stumbled and fell to the ground.
I fell heavily and got up to help her, but she said in a trembling voice, "Yes... Something grabbed my feet. ”
