Chapter 114: Broken Dreams, Mysterious Man
The Clock Tower Monster and the Beauty, I never thought that this absurd story really happened in reality, and I became the Clock Tower Monster.
Su Jin's perseverance found a little comfort in my humble heart, and the villagers of Toast did not discriminate against me because of my appearance, on the contrary, everything here was so kind, and gradually, I completely integrated into this remote village and resisted returning to my previous life.
My marriage with Su Jin was scheduled for three days later, no one objected, and under the guidance of Su Jin's family, the wedding banquet was carried out in an orderly manner.
During this time, under Su Jin's tenderness and sweetness, I deliberately avoided the tragedy two months ago, so that the bloody scenes that happened in front of my eyes at the beginning slowly blurred and faded.
At first, I could still remember the doctor's appearance before he died, and the unwilling eyes of the Taoist priest staring at me in the pool of blood, but later, these images that once made my heart rending were only a blurred outline, and even their faces gradually faded in my mind. Whenever I miss them, I have to remember them for a long time before I can barely reconstruct their faces.
Looking at the water in front of me, I once again remembered the group at the beginning, it was from here that they started, but in the end, I was the only one who came back.
I tried my best to recreate the scene of boarding the ship, but there were only a few hazy figures in my mind, and no matter how hard I tried to recall them, I could never see their faces clearly.
Maybe I'm cold by nature! I thought sadly, only more than two months have passed, and I have forgotten what they look like.
As the sun set, emitting a blood-like twilight, the whole water gourd was reflected in a dazzling blood-red, and at this moment, I seemed to be back to the original broken boat, surrounded by hideous bloody water, and at my feet were the stumps and broken limbs of the sunset's intimate companions.
I looked at the blood-colored water in front of me in horror, and retreated, but I had barely taken a few steps out before my shoulders were held by a pair of strong hands, and I could not retreat any further.
Su Jin has already left, who will be here? I was puzzled, and when I looked back, I saw that the person holding me was a young man I didn't know, but I felt very familiar.
My brain was a little messy, and while I was amazed at why I had such strange and contradictory feelings, I couldn't help but ask, "Who are you?" ”
The young man was dressed in black, with a slender figure, and his face was covered by a hat covering his ears, and I could only see that his hand on my shoulder was very pale, and there was a thorny tattoo on the arm that showed the cuff, but the skin was not old, and I judged his age by his hand.
As soon as I turned my head, the young man came to me in a flash and stood side by side with me. He didn't seem to mean to answer me, and raised his head to look at the bloody remnant sun as I had just done.
I looked up at the right time to see what he really looked like, but alas, he was taller than me, and I could only see his side face due to the damn hat.
I was taken aback even though it was only a side face, I was pretty sure I had never seen this man, but I had a sense of familiarity with him. The well-defined features are even more handsome than me, and if I have seen them, I can't be without a little impression.
While I was thinking about it, the young man finally spoke, and it was an inexplicable sentence: "How long do you want to sleep?" It's time to wake up, time, it's running out! ”
I was stunned, I didn't understand what he meant, and hurriedly asked, "What do you mean?" Am I asleep? ”
This time the young man did not answer me, he suddenly grabbed my right hand, rolled up the sleeve of his shirt, and immediately the hideous burn on his arm was immediately visible.
The burns left on my body were a pain in my heart, and I was completely enraged by his actions at this time, and I didn't care who he was, and I clenched my fists and wanted to fight him hard.
Unfortunately, the young man was stronger than I had imagined, and his seemingly pale and thin hand seemed to have the strength of Mount Tai, clamping my hand motionless, and no matter how much I struggled, I could not break free at all.
I was a little angry and asked angrily who he was? However, the young man's reaction was still the same, he pulled my right hand in front of my eyes, and told me to look closely, although I was resentful in my heart, but now I was under the control of others, and I had no choice but to do what he wanted.
However, I only took a closer look, and my whole body suddenly felt like a lightning strike, and under the hideous burns of my right hand, I saw black lines struggling.
Little by little, they were devouring the scabbed scars on their arms, and each time they devoured something, they became more excited and active, and when I gathered all my attention and looked closely, the black lines swallowed up the scars, which were clearly scenes, and these pictures were the pictures that had become blurry in my memory during this time.
Seeing this scene, I was covered in a cold sweat, and hurried to see the young man, but what surprised me was that the other party had left at some point, and there was no half a figure around, but there was an extra line of words on the wooden bridge under my feet:
Life is death, death is life, flowers are seen in the fog, and flowers are spent in the mirror!
I looked at this line of words fixedly, and suddenly felt a little headache in my head, and suddenly my mind seemed to be much clearer, and some fragments of memory that I had experienced became clear, all the experiences of entering the mountain, the death of everyone, and the bloody scenes were clear at this moment.
A great sadness welled up in my heart, and I took out the doctor's glasses from my pocket, stretched out my hand and rubbed them, touching the blood stains on the glasses, feeling this former best friend and good brother, and my heart suddenly became a little blocked.
At this moment, Su Jin, who had already left, turned back and saw me squatting by the water with a painful face, and hurriedly asked me what was wrong?
I put away the bloodstained glasses as quickly as possible, and turned my head to say that I was fine, but suddenly saw a cyan demonic aura rolling on Su Jin's face in front of me, and the originally delicate and lovely face looked ghostly under the shroud of that aura, so frightened that I almost screamed out.
Fortunately, after going through so many things, my control was not bad, and I suppressed my panic, but then I thought of the line left by the young man, and I was shocked, and I wanted to wipe it, but I found that the ground was empty, and there was nothing.
"What the hell is wrong with you?" Su Jin pouted a little unhappily and said, In the face of her coquettishness, if it was before, I would definitely not be able to parry, but now......
Looking at the ghostly Su Jin, I felt furious in my heart, forced me to calm down, and told her that I remembered what happened two months ago, and my heart was a little blocked. After she heard this, she didn't doubt it, but just said that seeing things and thinking about people, let me come to the water hyacinth less in the future, and slowly forget about it.
Naturally, I didn't dare to refute, and returned to the wooden building with Su Jin's support, during which I met a lot of villagers, without exception, the faces of the simple and honest villagers in the past were all shrouded in a cyan demonic aura, which made people's scalps numb.
At night, I lay alone in bed, thinking back to what had just happened, and the chill in my heart grew stronger.
If everything I see at the moment is the truth of Toast, then Su Jin, who accompanies me day and night, and those honest and simple villagers must not be people, but if the young man is doing something from it, then what I see at this time is an illusion, which is true and which is false, and I can't tell for a while.
Time passed in a hurry, in the past three days, the whole toast Tai was beaming, everyone was busy with the marriage between me and Su Jin, it was very lively, but I was more and more frightened. Because as time passed, the faces of the villagers were not only demonic, their faces were becoming hideous little by little, and they had completely lost their human appearance, and they looked more like a venerable Shura demon.
Su Jin's appearance has also become more and more powerful, not like the rest of the villagers who are becoming more and more hideous, but there are some meanings of becoming more and more beautiful, but the more beautiful she becomes, the more she reveals a strange charm, which makes people feel very uncomfortable, and my bad sense of familiarity is getting stronger and stronger.
On the third day, the day of the wedding, the village was lit up with lights, so lively, but what made me feel terrified was that all the guests, including Su Jin's father, were all ugly monsters with a demonic spirit, and the only one who looked like a human was Su Jin.
At this time, she has completely turned into a different face, with a touching beauty, like a fairy in the sky, the only thing that makes people uncomfortable is the enchanting aura that she exudes between her smiles.
When it came time to testify, I finally made up my mind, and intuitively, I felt that young people were more worthy of trust.
When the ugly monster who witnessed the marriage asked me to worship Su Jin, I suddenly ripped off my new clothes and said to the 'Su Jin' beside me: "I'm sorry, I can't marry you, I'm going to find them, even if it's dead, I want to find their bones!" ”
After saying that, I rushed out of the encirclement full of monster guests and went straight to the water bottle.
Looking at a small boat moored not far away, I rushed over without hesitation, but at this moment, a voice suddenly came from the side: "Stop him, can't let him go!" ”
I followed the sound and looked, my scalp couldn't help but explode, only to see that there were monsters behind me, almost all the villages of Toast Tai were dispatched, they surrounded me, and the cyan demonic qi that rushed to the sky gathered together, pressing me almost suffocated, and the one who shouted to stop me turned out to be 'Su Jin' who was protected like a princess in the midst of monsters.
Sure enough, it was not a human being, and I was covered in sweat and hair, and I could no longer hesitate, as the boat from the shore would inevitably be intercepted, so I had to plunge into the water gourd, and then swim desperately towards the small boat not far away.
When I tried my best to climb onto the boat, I was stunned and saw that there was someone on the boat, and this person was none other than the young man with a hat who had given me a fingerprint three days earlier.
"It's coming!" He didn't look back and said hello to me, and by this time the monsters had already rushed to the shore, and many of them had already jumped into the water, and I was horrified, and I didn't have the heart to be polite to him, and shouted: "Get out of the boat!" ”
Before I could finish speaking, the young man had already stretched the penny, and the boat suddenly jumped out like a sharp arrow from the string.
I was a little worried that the speed of the boat was not enough, but when I saw that the speed of the boat was no slower in the young man's hand than that of a steamboat with an engine, I was relieved, and my body went limp, and I collapsed on the boat.
The young man was as indifferent as ever, and he didn't mean to talk to me, nor did he ask me where I was going, but just pushed the boat quickly.
I looked at the direction of the boat, which was the depths of Toast Tai, upstream of the silverfish ditch, and I couldn't help but be surprised: Could it be that he was going to take me back to the place where the incident happened?
The boat sailed against the wind and water, and soon sailed past the places I had experienced two months earlier, the river bay, the fork in the road, the mermaid lake......
Strangely enough, however, this time we drove very smoothly, neither the two-headed lizards nor the mermaids were encountered, and everything was so smooth that it made our scalp tingle.
Eventually, the boat crossed Lake Shark and continued to drive, but I didn't know because I was in a coma at the time.
But the young man seemed to know everything well, and he didn't hesitate to take a fork in the road all the way.
In my confusion, the river under the boat suddenly turned red.
I was startled when I noticed the change in the water of the lake, and looked up to tell the young man, but I found that he was missing from the boat, and I was startled, and rushed to the place where he was holding the penny, and I could not find him.
Just as I was stunned, a large number of blisters suddenly appeared in the blood-red water, and then an ugly monster emerged from each of the small blisters, and I looked at it, and the fear and anger hidden in my heart were suddenly aroused.
Damn, aren't these the sharks?
The scene that happened two months ago flashed through my mind like a movie, I was furious, the killing intent suddenly rose, and I subconsciously grabbed the apocalypse from my back, and was about to cut it, when I suddenly had a stirring spirit and stopped.
I looked at the apocalypse in my hand in disbelief, and said to myself, how is this possible? The Apocalypse Sword has long since disappeared with the fire two months ago, or burned or sunk underwater, how can it be in my hands?
Before I could think about it, the ship shook violently, I didn't stand firmly, I was thrown into the mud, and when I stood up in embarrassment, I suddenly realized that something was wrong, it smelled of blood, and so on, where did this come from so much blood?
I stood up in shock, everything had changed, pools of blood, corpses, fire, everything wrapped around me, and I was back on the ship I had been on two months before, or rather...... I've never left!
It was as if something had exploded in my head, and all of a sudden it was so painful that I almost fainted.
All the images were gone, everything became blurred, but a terrible cry came into my mind very clearly, instantly waking me up who wanted to faint.
I opened my eyes suddenly, and the first thing that caught my eye was a turtle head the size of an egg, with a vicissitudes of life, and strange white eyebrows, swaying blindly in front of my eyes.
