Chapter 182: The Water Ghost's Conspiracy
"There are always a few fish that slip through the net."
"That's your rereliction of duty! Can you not talk about such cruel things so lightly! "Looking at Nightshade talking about the life and death of people, I feel that I am not a person of the same world as him, human life is more important to me than all things, the most precious, but for him, it is just a stream of animals before and after meals.
For a while, the atmosphere began to be awkward again, I knew that all this was not the fault of the night death, and my emotions were also a little excited, my eyes were erratic, and I didn't dare to look at the night death.
"I'm sorry." Nightshade suddenly apologized to me.
I'm even more embarrassed now-
"Right...... I'm sorry! It was my fault! I was so emotional. ”
"Don't think too much about it, let's move on."
Nightshade and I are both eager to change the subject, and this topic ends at this moment.
I began to concentrate and continued to feel the whereabouts of the water ghosts.
When I "looked" behind Nightshade again, I found that the water ghost had already slipped away without a trace.
"Nightfall! The water ghost is no longer on campus! ”
"You have now converted your magnetic field into your own ability, plus your innate ability, try to feel where the water ghost is going."
I closed my eyes and felt the whereabouts of the water ghost very seriously, passing through the back mountain - the restaurant - the teaching building - the school gate - the street - the alley - the night market - the traffic light intersection - the hospital......
"Nightfall! It ran to the hospital! Could it be the hospital where Wu Di is! I screamed in panic.
Nightshade looked ahead with a gloomy face.
Before I could react, Nightshade touched me on the shoulder, and we were in the hallway of the hospital's inpatient department.
The corridor was quiet, there was no one, the dim lights flickered and flickered, the lamps made a "sizzle-" sound from time to time, the seats in the corridor were also tattered and dusty, and the walls were also covered with mildew because of the humid climate, and in some places even peeled.
The wards on both sides of the corridor were pitch black through the dusty glass, and the doors were rusty.
I looked around and couldn't believe that this was a hospital in the 21st century.
"Are you sure...... Wu Di lives in this hospital? I asked tentatively.
"It's an abandoned hospital and it's not in use." The flashing lights, lining the face of the night dead, were particularly terrifying, making me a little suspicious of whether he was really a night dead, and I was a little afraid of him.
"You...... What are you bringing me here for......" I began to slowly move away from him vigilantly, and secretly pulled out the charm with one hand, ready to escape from here in one go.
Nightshade noticed my small movements, and said nonchalantly, "What? Scared of me? With that, he turned his face and looked at me.
At this time, Night Death is a real ghost, and he has all the qualities of a ghost.
The pale face is flushed with iron, the strange dress, and the corners of the mouth that seem to be smiling but not smiling.
Dense sweat had already climbed up my forehead, and I slowly stepped back, leaning my back against the wall, allowing the wall to give me a little security.
"You...... Don't scare me, okay...... I...... I'm scared......" I cried and prayed.
Nightshade didn't speak, still looking at me with that expression.
"Night...... Nightfall...... I...... I'm scared...... You're going to change back...... I beg you......"
Nightshade slowly approached me, I nervously leaned my back against the wall harder, at this moment, I really wanted to hide in the wall, and really merge with the wall.
"You...... Are you a nightfall...... Nightfall...... Come back to Nightfall...... I...... I'm scared ......."
Nightshade laughed, her eyes dark and unfamiliar.
"You're not a nightman!" I screamed in horror.
"Hahahaha-hahaha-ha-" Nightshade suddenly looked up and laughed, and when he looked at me again, it wasn't Nightshade anymore.
The face of the water ghost appeared on Nightfall's body.
The long, wet hair covered the rotten and foul face, but I could still faintly see its cheeks.
"Jin Xingzhu - your body is about to be mine—hahaha—" As he spoke, the water ghost raised his arm and pointed at me with a foul-smelling finger with rotten flesh hanging on it, and his long black nails were particularly eye-catching.
I was so frightened that I forgot to resist, my brain went blank, and I had to stand there in a daze, my brain spinning rapidly, remembering when I was brought here by the water ghost, and I couldn't believe the fact in front of me.
At this moment, a maggot slowly crawled out of the water ghost's body, crawling towards the water ghost's black nails little by little.
I looked at this fat maggot in horror, and thought to myself, this is the maggot hiding in Wu Di's body and tormenting Wu Di all the time.
Thinking of this, I somehow got the courage to hit the black nails of the water ghost pointed at me and hit the maggot to the ground.
The water ghost's arm seemed to be elastic, and after withstanding my shaking, it returned to its original position, as if it were a tumbler!
Another maggot crawled out of the water ghost's body slowly, and once, before the maggot crawled to the black nails, I hit the maggot to the ground again.
Suddenly, the body of the water ghost began to shake violently, as if there was something in the body, the forced body bulged here, deflated there, and the rotten flesh in some places couldn't help the creation of the things inside, and fell directly down, or was pierced.
A maggot did a backflip from a hole in the rotten flesh, and I saw that countless maggots were running wild in the body of the water ghost.
I tried to run away, but I was afraid that I would alarm the water ghost and maggots who were only a fraction of a distance away from me.
The lamp tube overhead still made a sound of "zizz-zi-" sound, as if all this was none of its business, but all of this was really none of its business, and it watched it all indifferently.
The sound of maggots wriggling was getting closer and closer to the water ghost's arm, and my frightened heart rose to my throat, and suddenly, a maggot jumped out of the rotten flesh on the back of my hand.
This was just the beginning, and after this maggot jumped out, a large group of maggots scrambled to jump out and head straight for me......
"Ahh
I opened my eyes.
"Xingzhu! You're finally awake! Nightshade's worried face appeared before my eyes.
I pushed away the night with a frightened palm, and walked away from him in fear, holding my back tightly against the tree next to me, not daring to look at his face.
Nightshade reacted to me as if she had expected it a long time ago, and didn't comfort me or come close to me, just lightly explained, "You were taken away from consciousness by the water ghost just now, you must have seen something terrible—"
I curled up in a trembling way, crouching under a tree, my mouth biting my jiggling fingers, trying to calm myself down.
Star...... Nightfall prepares to come close to me.
"Don't come here!" I stopped, tears uncontrollably.
"Don't come...... Don't come...... Woowoo...... Nightfall...... I'm so scared...... I'm sorry...... I...... I'm scared of you......"
Nightshade was very aware and no longer came near me.
"Why did you become a water ghost...... Why are you scaring me! ”
"You know I'm scared of ghosts, and you're still scared of me! You did it on purpose! Woowoo woo ......"
"I shouldn't have touched the chrysalis in the middle of the night, so that my seal would not be broken! I won't meet you, woo woo woo ......."
"Do you say it's easy for me to live! Every day is a day of fear! ”
"I'm really fed up with this life! I'm really fed up——!! ”
All the grievances and anger poured out of my brain, and I squatted under the big tree to vent frantically, while the night died quietly listened and thought on the side.
He began to wonder if he was too selfish in his ways, he grew up with me, and knew that my life was not easy, but he still followed his own plan, turned me into the person he wanted, let me meet him regardless of my own danger, and then fall in love with him.
If I can live an ordinary and peaceful life, then it is not impossible.
But—it's too late now.
"Why don't you speak!" I complained to Nightshade for a long time, but Nightshade was silent, and I wondered if he was listening.
"I'm listening to your story." Nightshade replied softly.
"Nightshade, you, you're going to always, you're going to keep me, protect me," I asked Nightshade with a sob.
Nightshade was a little surprised, he thought that I would complain to him again, why should I see him and know him, but I didn't expect that I would say this.
"Ahh ”
"You, you have to do what you say!"
"Hmm!"
"Also, also, Nightfall, I, I'm lost, water, water ghost."
"It's okay, I'll do it, you've worked hard tonight."
"Don't!" I refused, "I'll do it myself!" ”
"That's—I'll help you! You've just consumed too much energy. ”
"Okay."
Nightshade pressed her finger close to my forehead, easily pressing my magnetic field.
"This is the power of the Ghost King—" I was amazed at Nightfall's strength.
"Focus." Nightshade prompted.
Only then did I come back to my senses, concentrate, and begin to feel the trail of the water ghosts.
There is no back mountain, no back lake, no cafeteria, no teaching building, no dormitory, and no trace of it on the entire campus.
Don't...... It's really out?!
"Nightshade - it's not on campus!"
"Concentrate!" Nightshade frowned.
I obediently did so, and continued to follow the trail of the water ghost.
Walking through the streets and alleys, the picture in front of me gradually became familiar, I frowned suspiciously, waiting for the next move of the water ghost, but the breath of the water ghost was cut off here.
I opened my eyes and was surprised to tell what I had found.
"Nightfall...... Kelpie...... In our house? ”
"That's it, let's take a look."
"But...... What does it do at our house? It can't get in again, and if it is discovered by Qing Shui Qingfeng, won't it be in danger? I can't figure it out! ”
"We'll know when we get back."
