What happened? We all heard voices in front of us, and everyone ran there. I was at the very end of the line, just trying to follow.

"Ouch," I tripped over a large bulging tree root at my feet, and when I got up, I saw that the people in front of me were all gone. I blinked, thinking I was hallucinating.

I was the only one left in this situation, and I yelled a few words, but no one answered me. I thought about it, there are probably a few possibilities, so I took out my notebook and wrote them all on it: a. Maybe it was the thick fog and something wrong with the things at the bottom of the mountain that caused me to have illusions. Two. There are ghosts, similar to ghosts hitting walls. Three. It is a formation left by the ancients.

Looking at these possibilities, I couldn't help but smile bitterly, I couldn't break the three factors, but it wasn't that bad. I leaned back against a large tree and sat down to get a bite to eat and calm down. Liu Guang and the others knew that I was gone, and it was absolutely impossible for them to come back to me, so I had to continue to walk before it was possible to join them. And the food is enough to last for several days.

As the saying goes, people who have no long-term worries must have near-term worries, and if you straighten out what you want to do, your mood will be good, and your appetite will be open as soon as you are in a good mood. Now I think compressed biscuits with cold boiled water are also very delicious.

Suddenly, there was a "creaking" sound around me, and I quickly stopped chewing, and the sound seemed to come from behind. I said to myself that this voice is too familiar to me, isn't it the voice I heard in the Mirror Palace? It's not going to be red-eyed again, right?

I made up my mind, walked over with my waist bent, and when I felt that I was almost there, I hid behind a big tree and looked over there. The next moment, I was stunned by what I saw. Two of Liu Guang's men died tragically in front of me.

The intestines of both men were pulled out of their mouths, and half of their skulls were cut off, and several colorful objects lay on their heads as if they were wearing hats. I looked closely, and saw that it was the shadow puppeteers. They're like bugs, as if they're sucking something.

These are beyond the scope of normal horror, and I kind of want to vomit, no matter how scary a horror movie is, it can't catch up with the scary people who actually see these scenes.

"Who's there!" A muffled voice came from the corpse.

I was startled and quickly retracted my head. I prayed in my heart: I can't see me, I can't see me. But I wasn't that lucky, and the guy over there started talking again: "Be careful, I have a pistol in my hand." If you don't come out again, my pistol won't recognize anyone. ”

I paused, raised my hand and walked out from behind the tree, looking coldly at the man, who was wearing a torn hoodie with a hood on his head and a handkerchief covering his face, who he could not see who it was. But I already had a judgment in my heart.

"I said, you can put the hood off your head, there's no point in covering it up." I say. In fact, I was so scared, I bumped into this Li Ergou's secret, and it was strange that he didn't kill me. But I have to stall now, thinking of a way out of my heart like crazy.

Li Ergou obviously paused, even if I couldn't see his face, I could guess his puzzled and shocked expression. "How do you know I'm Ergou?"

I said, "Isn't that obvious? I saw you playing shadow puppets in your village the other day, this monster—" I pointed back at the shadow puppeteer over there, "isn't that your shadow puppet prop?" ”

Li Ergou sneered and said, "Clever! Intelligent, observant and analytical are very accurate, but the answer is not right. As he spoke, he tore off the rag from his face and removed the hood from his head.

My eyes widened, this person really wasn't Li Ergou, it was - that fisherman!

The fisherman smiled and said, "I didn't expect it, but it's not that hard to guess, you never asked my name from beginning to end, this is the stupid and arrogant way of you big city people." Finally, before you die, I can tell you a word, my name is Li Dalei, and I am Li Ergou's brother. ”

I stared blankly at Li Dalei and staged a spy in a spy, how is this possible? I don't see any other thoughts from the fisherman, it's too hidden, isn't it?

Li Dalei looked at my panicked appearance, smiled happily, and said to me: "Don't worry, wait for me for a while, and when my master finishes eating, you can go underground to see Marx." ”

"Your master?"

"Oh, look at it. Okay, I'll talk to you for fear that you'll be bored! My master is the ghost in this shadow puppet. He can't leave when he sucks a person, otherwise the person's soul will disappear quickly, that is, the person will be killed in vain. So...... By the way, I'm going to surrender your weapon now. ”

When I heard this, I understood, I still wanted to delay time and find a chance to escape, but unfortunately time was not on my side, and if I waited any longer, I would become a shadow puppeteer's appetizer.

I took a deep breath and quickly pulled out the pistol from my waist and pointed it at the shadow ghost.

"You, you...... What are you going to do? Li Dalei panicked suddenly, "You put down the gun, otherwise Lao Tzu will collapse you." ”

I leaned into the shadow ghost again, and I believe that in the situation just now, Li Dalei would not lie. But I also have a question, why didn't he surrender my weapon in the first place?

"If you want to kill me, your master will have to finish playing together."

At this moment, the shadow ghost on the corpse at my feet suddenly moved, and we both looked at it in shock. The shadow puppet ghost should have opened a large slit in the place of its mouth, and one by one, a high-pitched, piercing voice came, "Kill the one who is in the way!" ”

Li Dalei suddenly pounced on me, his movements were quite sharp and decisive, and I quickly dodged as soon as I saw it. He threw himself into the air, then turned around and smiled ghostly at me. Seeing this, I understood, what a control ghost, this is almost possessed by a ghost. I also understood why he didn't give me my weapon and shoot me with a gun. This is the result of a conflict between oneself and oneself that is controlled by a demon.

Now was the opportunity, and I flew up and kicked the gun in his hand away. In this way, I had already revealed my flaws, and Li Dalei pressed me to the ground and shouted: "Go die!" Bastard. As he spoke, he grabbed me by the neck from behind, and I was so desperate that I almost stuck my tongue out.

"You...... Put it ...... Hand. "I said with difficulty.

But Li Dalei seemed to have lost his mind, panting constantly, muttering words he didn't understand. I knew it was a sign of being controlled by a ghost, so I couldn't wait any longer, and the longer it went, the worse it would be for me. I fumbled around the hanging bag around my waist, and finally came across an iron handle, which was the handle of my dagger.

I pulled it out at once and stuck it on Li Dalei's waist from the side, and he yelled and let go of me. I fell to the ground, but I didn't dare to catch my breath, so I quickly dodged Li Dalei's hand and walked to the side of the shadow puppeteer.

It was almost too late, and several shadow puppets and corpses were shaking, and although I didn't know what it meant, it wasn't a good thing to guess.

As the saying goes, ghosts are afraid of fire, so I hurriedly half-squatted down and thought: Two big brothers, you follow Liu Guang, although you are my enemy, but you are also two lives, and I don't want to see your violent corpses in the wilderness, but I can't protect myself now, and I can't take care of you. But I have a way, I can burn you, not only to defeat the shadow puppeteers, but also to bury you here, so that you can rest here.

I unscrewed the medical alcohol and poured it on top of the two corpses, holding the lighter, and throwing the lighter at the corpse as I pulled away.

With a "boom", the corpse was on fire, and everything fell silent with the sharp shouting of the shadow puppeteer and the rough roar of Li Dalei.

I stood there panting for a long time before I realized that it was over, and quickly ran to Li Dalei's side and helped him to a tree with his back against the trunk. I didn't have a lot of first aid supplies with me, most of them were on one of the team's "medics". I clumsily covered Li Dalei's wound with gauze, and by this time, he had already woken up.

Li Dalei opened his eyes, looked around, looked at me again, and suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood, which startled me.

"How did you—"

Li Dalei raised a hand to stop me, and said, "You don't have to save me in vain, my soul has been almost sucked by that evil ghost, plus the human life on my hand, I don't need to die with a bucket of smoke." ”

He asked me for some water, and when he had drunk it, he said, "Now I want to tell you something, something that I have not told you in the village before, do not interject, and listen to what I have to say." ”
