Volume 3 Midnight Terror Chapter 9, Night Run

One

When the movie ended, I took off my glasses, rubbed my slightly aching eyes, and dragged my somewhat numb legs out. When I reached the exit, an unknown chilling wind enveloped me, and the sensation of being hit by a weak electric current slowly collected from my limbs to my chest, and then evaporated from my head like water that had reached a boiling point. I couldn't help but shudder sharply, ah!

It's so cool! Suddenly, I felt that poetry was about to move in my belly, and as soon as I pressed the dantian, a song "Silent Night Thoughts" blurted out: "The bright moonlight in front of the bed is suspected to be ...... on the ground" "Wow! Come out so early, chant poetry here, you are sick. "That's it! Don't wait, you're in a hurry to be reincarnated! Two boys in school uniforms called out and ran over. Those were my classmates and my friends: Hong Feng and Wang Peng.

"Oops! Yaxing who disturbed me, fuck, an apology and compensation were sent together. Hong Feng shouted: "No! By the way, are you hungry? I can't. The word "hungry" swam in my mind three times, immediately activating my long-dormant consciousness and bringing with it the most primitive hunger cry signal of human beings: the toad crows. A muffled thunderous sound broke free from the shackles of my belly, tore through the silent sky, and slashed straight into the depths of the universe for a long time. I licked my dry lips, pushed down my glasses, and said, "Seriously, I'm a little bit too, what time is it?" "It's half past ten." "Okay, let's go."

We descended the steps, turned right, and we were outside the gate. Outside the door is a street, which is usually filled with bustling crowds and hawkers, but tonight ...... There was not a single pedestrian, and even the pair of little lovers who kissed me under the moon didn't know where to go. The person who came out of the movie theater just now also disappeared like a gust of wind! In front of each house, there is a "dead wind" lamp, swaying in the summer midnight breeze. On the night of the power outage, the candlelight brings us kindness and warmth, but at this time, they are so secretive, like the eyes of a wolf in the desert, which makes people tremble. Another gust of wind, strangely cold, isn't this blowing from the depths of hell? The wind swept up the leaves on the ground and danced around us, and my soul suddenly jumped to its rhythm! One piece was attached to my face, dry like the back of an old man's hand. I grabbed it in my hand, ah!! It's paper money. They fly up and down in the air, like countless unjust demons reaching out to you for their lives. A chill ran down my spine, and the two of them almost wanted to go first. I subconsciously looked up at the night sky and muttered, "While the moonlight is shining, we'd better go back to school before twelve o'clock." "Actually, the moon is not bright tonight. The clouds were dancing in the air, and the moon, fearing that it would tarnish her innocence, hid shyly in the "quilt", only poking her head out from time to time to peek at her. We took a fancy to the nearest grocery store and ran over to it, bringing the paper money attached to my bare calf, and I felt like I was being entangled in a poisonous snake and hurriedly jumped over it. "Boss, three pieces of bread for a dollar." Hong Feng shouted open the door before he could enter. The owner is an old man and a bald man. He fumbled around nowhere to find three things that he thought were bread, and stared at us with a slightly mocking look. Hong Feng gave him money, grabbed the bread and dragged the two of us away. I broke away and said, "You first, and then I will come." ”

I thought the old man was mysterious, as if he had something to say to me, and I turned and swept my gaze towards the old man, just in time to meet his rays. I couldn't help but shudder, there were two icebergs - icebergs in the depths of my eyes. A strange force from within sustains me, searching for their base...... Finally, he paused, and the iceberg melted and disappeared in an instant, and said, "Child, you are a student of No. 1 Middle School!" You should know that today is July 14th, the day the ghost enters the door, and your school is also a point. Be prepared! Otherwise......" "How else?" I screamed. Everything is predestined, you go! As he spoke, he moved his stiff body into the back room.

I knew that I couldn't ask any more, so I rushed to Hong and Wang. They had not gone far and were standing under a street lamp, and the dim light covered their silent figures, like two solemn statues. As the old man's words lingered in my mind, I suddenly had an ominous premonition. Just then, I saw a dark figure behind them. I beckoned to them and leaned in, but they didn't respond, but the shadow gradually became clear. "Oh my God!" I was stunned: the shadow was dressed in a raincoat, and in his raised right hand was something resembling a scythe, but with a much longer blade, and an iron chain hooked at the end of the handle, the other end of which was held in his left hand. "It's over!" I tried to rush up, but the fossilized legs seemed to be out of my shell, and I couldn't move. "Are you just watching your friend die?" I closed my eyes in agony......

I don't know how long later, I suddenly opened my eyes, everything was the same in front of me, they were standing on the opposite side, and shouted at me: "Hey, why are you stunned? "For a moment, the sickle, the raincoat, and the shopkeeper's words shuttled through my mind, forming a net, enveloping my brain, and tightening it tighter and tighter, blood, brains, and bone marrow burst out in front of me, like wild chrysanthemums blooming in the netherworld. I screamed in horror. The screams shattered the confinement of my thoughts, and my brain cleared up in the lightning. A clear number drifted into my head: twelve. When the nervous system analyzed and confirmed that it was twelve o'clock in the night, I hammered my thigh hard. By the way, before twelve o'clock, that is, before the ghost door is closed, all ghosts are still empty shelves!

"Hong Feng, Wang Peng, let's run, we must rush back to school before twelve o'clock." As he spoke, he ran in the direction of the school. Wang Peng touched the back of his head and muttered: "I was in a daze just now, and I ran away after a while, is he really sick, strange!" ”

Surprised, they followed. As soon as I dropped them more than twenty meters, I turned my face and shouted, "Hong Feng, what time is it?" "Eleven o'clock." "Oh, there's still an hour." I thought, slowing down. I inhaled the scent of the breeze and slowly became a little intoxicated. I imagined myself walking towards the wedding hall wearing a solemn gown and holding the bride's hand...... However, after a while, I felt that something was wrong. Our school is not far from the cinema, a half-hour walk at most, and I'm trotting right now. "What time is it? Hong ...... "As soon as my words came out, it was like being cut off by a quick knife, and the back was empty, and there was not a single dog. I looked around and was amazed to see that there were at least ten shops that looked exactly like the street I was, and that I could still recognize the mysterious old man's shops—a dozen of them. Could this be the legendary "ghost hitting the wall"? Impossible, it's not twelve o'clock yet? I mobilized all the thinking parts of my body, but it still didn't work.

"Hong Feng, Wang Peng...... Where are you? I cried out in terror, but as soon as the trembling voice was thrown into the air, it was torn apart by the merciless wind. 110, call 110, I rushed into the phone booth and dialed it, but there was a nasty blind tone! I suddenly felt like a lonely boat on the boundless sea, with no direction to go and no way back, and I had to challenge the threat from the sea and the sea. I couldn't help crying in the middle of the night, the power of this loneliness was so great that I had no other way to vent it. But time did not stop because of my pain, even temporarily, and I faintly heard the barking of dogs in the distance, and there was a cemetery more than ten miles away. It dawned on me that what was in front of me was how to get back to school. "What should I do?" "What should I do?" I shouted towards the deserted street. I was already in a mess, waving my arms blankly, grabbing my hair, panic attacking my heart, but after a while I calmed down, "Isn't there no fear when you die?" "I walked straight to the telephone pole on the side of the road, and my steps were much easier, and at this time, death might be a good relief for me. Wang, Wang, Wang...... A few dog barks hit my brain like a shockwave, giving me another room to think, "I'm sorry I woke it up!" Brother dog, I disturbed your dreams before I died! "I woke it up", yes, ghosts can change so many streets, but they can't make people after all. Because the people who have not completed their longevity have a yang energy to drive away evil spirits, and they have their own spiritual positions, and ghost relatives are not drinking soup!

Suddenly, the desire to survive burned in me, and the power filled my limbs. Just like the people on the lonely boat, hearing the whistle of the steamer, although they are still confused, there is a glimmer of hope after all. My legs ran like a plucking paddle to the street on the right, and there was a bang on the first door, ......and the monotonous knock was so piercing in the dead silence of midnight,... Ten, eleven, twelve, without answering, I turned to the one next to me. At this moment, the barking of dogs in the distance was clearly audible, and the street lamps beside each street flashed fiercely and gradually fainted, and they were releasing the last of their energy. There is a floating ground in the air: July 14, midnight is approaching, the door of ghosts is wide open, and the living will die. I was in a hurry, kicking and punching desperately, "Open the door, open the door." "But it seems that I am the only one left in heaven and earth, and no one sympathizes with me, takes pity on me, and helps me. Articles 2, 3, 4...... The barking of dogs came from miles away, the street lamps were already dying patients, half breathing with oxygen, and green smoke began to rise on the concrete road, faint but elusive, and I felt like I was in an ice cellar. I shuddered as I walked to the twelfth, thrashing with my whole body, "Open the door." "The voice was so low that I couldn't even hear it. As I moved my legs in despair to leave, a kind, long-lost sound of the door opening stopped me. "Three watches in the middle of the night, what are you knocking, hell you!" A middle-aged man, shirtless and wearing only a pair of pants, leaned against the door frame and scolded. I only felt a surge of blood, in ecstasy, tears came out of my eyes, what Faye Wong, Sun Yanzi, all stood aside, how could their singing be as good as this person's scolding. I didn't know where I got the strength, so I rushed over and hugged him, "Thank you!" You're the most handsome I've ever seen! With that, he ran down the street.

The barking of dogs in the distance was like the waves of a hurricane, rushing towards me, and I had to run as hard as I could, and as long as there was a glimmer of life, I could not give up. It was only then that I realized how incredible the power of survival can be! I've tapped out all the hidden energy, from my toes to the tips of my hair, and poured it into a pair of legs, is there anything left to keep until now? There is nothing more desirable than to live. I ran as hard as I could, and the street lamps became my only companions, but my companions could not move, they could no longer resist the mysterious power of the dark world, like vases flying down from tall buildings, and they exploded one by one behind me like flying flowers. They wished their friends in this way, which was a bit miserable, but it boosted my fighting spirit even more. I ran wildly by the candlelight that had disgusted me, but after a while I found that the "dead wind" lamp could no longer be angry with the wind, and could the extinguished lamp be dead from the wind? I continued to run without stagnation, because I had a light in my heart "I am going to escape" that guided me out of death and darkness.

The barking had stopped (there were no dogs around), and only the cold wind whimpered behind me. I felt the green smoke on the ground thicken, and they began to drag on my clothes, which made me very unhappy. It's like being called up to study while you're asleep. I got annoyed and swung my fist at something around me that didn't exist, which made me even more uncomfortable.

Yes! I frantically frantically flicked off my blouse, letting my bare chest catch the cold wind and giving it a taste of what it could reach but couldn't grasp. Thinking, thinking, I laughed, and my strength increased dramatically. The power of "laughter" is so great, no wonder it is listed as one of the seven weapons by Gu Long. The wind grew louder and louder, and the flying paper money fell mercilessly on my face, chest, and bare arms. Haha, I'm even more proud, and it's really enraged. I march forward with my head held high as a victor.

At this time, I saw the big luminous clock outside the school gate, and it was twelve o'clock in five minutes. I didn't bother to wipe away my tears of joy, and rushed forward with a wild laugh. "Oops!" I suddenly tripped over something soft and flew a few meters away, my heart seemed to be pricked by a needle, and it contracted suddenly, strange, but I couldn't think too much about it. I struggled to get up, but the sharp pain in my knee made me feel weak. I stared back at the gate like a dying old farmer looking at the land he had cultivated all his life. In the midst of the loss, a hard erection pressed against the ball of my foot, "Who?" I screamed. It's me, Hong Feng. "Hong Feng? Ah, how are you? "It's okay, it's just that my leg is broken, and I was kicked awake by you just now." Wang Peng: He ...... Ah, what's wrong with you? "My knees." I subconsciously moved, but it was a heart-piercing pain. "You're stepping on my head." I tried to retract, but it was immediately proven impossible, "I can't move." "Time is running out, it seems ......"

Hong Feng suddenly stopped, "What's wrong?" "There was no need to answer, for my body was slowly rising into the air, and my heart suddenly became empty, and became helpless, like duckweed, no, at least it still had water to rely on, and I was like a dandelion drifting in the night sky, gradually drifting towards the way I came. My open mouth couldn't spit out a word without effort. At this time, even a gentle reed could keep me grounded, and I let myself swim without resistance. Suddenly, there was a "bang", a dull thump accompanied by the stabbing pain of my small shin, and it reached my central nervous system.

"There it is." I endured the pain and hooked the instep of my foot to the object I touched, which was a street lamp pole. I immediately shouted, "Hong Feng, where are you?" A faint "En" sound came from not far away from the head. I reached out and grabbed something like hair, yes, hair, Hong Feng's hair. I pulled hard with my right hand and then grabbed his chin and then his armpit with my left hand. At this time, Hong Feng also spoke: "Hey, you know what? "What?" "It hurts so much that you're scratching me!" "Hey, it's all this time, you still ......" I struggled with my hands, and I couldn't speak. That force is getting stronger. Hong Feng's body was like a boulder about to roll down the hillside, and I was tying it with a rope and pulling it back. My hair was slipping down my hands, and I could clearly feel my feet twisting from the pressure, and I was about to fall out of touch below my knees. My fingers were numb from the exertion, and I was almost unable to hold on, and my nails had dug into his shoulders. "Haha, brother, I can't eat it, I'll help you." As he spoke, he grabbed my wrist with his hand, and I let go of my fingers. But what happened next was enough for me to regret for the rest of my life—he let go of his hand, and my heart sank violently, sinking into the bottomless abyss, crushed to pieces.

"Hong Feng ......" "I'm leaving, take care!" I hear paper money rustling in the wind, are they celebrating, or are they saying goodbye to my friends? The wind dried my tears, and I didn't know if I was crying or laughing. He probably didn't expect that the moment he let go, although it immediately lightened the burden on my body, it added a heavier weight to my heart. This caused my spirit, the walls of faith to crumble in an instant, and led to the collapse of my body. I went limp, and I drifted in the direction where the flood was going. I felt a sense of relief that I had never felt before, I spread my limbs, smiled, and savored the moment from birth to death. "Hong Feng, I'm here."

"Bell, crotch......" That's the bell of the whole twelve, but I don't care anymore. The idea was immediately rejected, and my body suddenly lost the trust of the mysterious power, and fell sharply. With a bang, I fell firmly on the concrete road. I looked up and looked ahead, and he was gone. I can't get up, I don't want to get up, I want to enjoy the real feeling, even though my posture is not very elegant.

"Oh, like, why did that power suddenly disappear?" I frowned, and began to spin my surviving brain again, oblivious to the pain, or rather numb. There are only two possibilities, one is: there is a force for justice in the school; The second is: there are more terrifying dark forces in the school. I stared at the gate in horror, hoping to see the holy light of the yellow can!

However, a black gas poured out of the gate with the howl of ghosts and wolves, and swept over the sky, and the streets were full of their wreaking figures, destroying all light: the moon, the stars, and even the luminous clock. "It's over, and when this time comes, what else can stop their evil?" I looked up and looked around again, and then I was stuck to the ground desolately, "Goodbye! "They were tearing at my flesh like crazy, and I felt the black gas become suffocating, and the pain had become meaningless as my body and soul were detached. I breathed in the air that made me stop breathing, and slowly went into a trance. In the fog, a call from the sky came: "Come, come!" …… We're waiting for you, hahahaha. I happily got up from my body and drifted towards the cry. In my hollow brain, another voice was muttering, "Where will I be on July 14 next year?" ”
