Chapter 915: The Living Corpse [Nineteen]
For a moment, I was distracted by some chaotic thoughts in my mind, and I didn't know what I was thinking.
Shaking my head, I gave up thinking, and simply concentrated on observing Guo Ling on the side, anyway, it's useless to guess now, it's better to wait and see what happens, and then analyze it.
Turning my head, when I looked at Guo Ling again, I noticed something different.
The aquatic plants still maintained their amazing growth, and it didn't take long for them to cover Guo Ling's whole body.
From a distance, it was a swarthy stone, and no one's physical features could be seen except for a pair of eyes exposed.
"Guo Ling?" I subconsciously wanted to shout at her and see how she reacted. As I guessed, since the black grass grew, she was even more wooden, as if she had entered her own world, and did not feel any stimulation from the outside world.
Intrigued, I held out my finger again, trying to test it.
Sure enough, before my fingers could touch her, the aquatic plants were ready to move, and began to shake with the swing of my fingers, as if they were opening their bloody mouths and waiting for the prey to come to the door automatically.
I got up and looked around to find a tiny branch.
Actually, my idea was to cut off a piece with a knife and take it back to study it while the aquatic weeds were sticking out, and I did exactly that.
It's just that the result was a bit more than I expected.
I successfully used the branches to draw out the aquatic weeds, and I took out the knife I was carrying from my pocket and cut the aquatic weeds in one fell swoop.
A small section of wriggling aquatic plants fell to the ground, twisting on the ground.
Before I could take out the test tube, the aquatic weed screamed, and in the blink of an eye, it turned into a cloud of black smoke and dissipated into the air.
Yes, I was not mistaken, it was a scream, I couldn't tell the difference between a man and a woman, although it was small, but I heard it. The knife in my hand fell to the ground, and I took several steps back, looking at the strange-shaped aquatic plants on Guo Ling's body, and broke out in a cold sweat.
What the hell is this!
I haven't slowed down yet, and at this moment, Guo Ling actually moved.
She blinked, then stood up with a slight stiffness, looked up at the red sun that had just emerged in the sky, tilted her head, and walked not far away.
Seeing this, although the aquatic grass was still hanging on her strangely, and she didn't know what she was going to do, it was always right to follow and see the situation.
Because the sun has already emerged, there is already sunlight pouring on the ground, mottled and flickering, and Guo Ling, who is not far away, is walking forward step by step stiffly, as if something is attracting her.
After about ten minutes, I noticed one thing, that is, Guo Ling has been choosing a darker place to walk.
On the road outside the school, there were more dense trees, and I saw that she had been walking in a shady place, and avoided the place where the sun was shining.
I didn't know what she meant, so I had to follow her and keep going.
About half an hour passed, but she no longer walked in the shade, but greeted the sun, as if bathing in the warm sunlight.
She moved slightly, letting her stiff body stretch out slightly, and from my point of view, it looked like a wooden doll forcibly breaking its body out of a position.
That look, not to mention how weird it is.
In a minute, Guo Ling returned to the shade again and continued to walk forward.
Is there any pattern?
In order to figure out the reason, I continued to follow, but I vaguely felt that her body didn't seem to have the stiffness that it had just now. And the aquatic plants on the body also began to dissipate little by little with the sunlight.
The clothes on her body can almost be seen now, and the density of aquatic plants is much smaller.
In this way, the aquatic plants are indeed protecting her, and if Guo Ling, who has just left the stream, can't touch the sun, then the thick layer of aquatic plants on her body will naturally become the best protective layer.
After Guo Ling has begun to adapt to the sun, it will gradually dissipate again.
If my guess is correct, after a few more times like this, Guo Ling will definitely return to her previous appearance.
With this suspicion in mind, I continued to follow, but she suddenly stood in the shade and turned her head to look at me.
The neck twisted one hundred and eighty degrees so hard that I stood there on the spot, not daring to make any more movements. Just imagine, a head covered with black aquatic plants, suddenly staring at a pair of miserable white eyes turned a hundred and eighty degrees, looking back at you, how do you feel?
Anyway, I felt a chuckle in my heart, my heart was beating faster, and my breathing was heavier.
Fortunately, she didn't make any moves, just looked at me and continued to walk back.
Seeing the gate of the school getting closer and closer, I felt a little uneasy, if this was seen by the students who came in advance, wouldn't it be exposed.
Of course, it turned out in hindsight that I was thinking too much.
After about half an hour, Guo Ling stood in the sun again, this time she could clearly feel that her body was much softer, and the aquatic plants on her body had almost disappeared, only a few were still bubbling on the top of her head.
She stood in the sun and moved her body, stretching her legs and twisting her waist, trying to stretch her body as far as possible.
The range of movement was naturally much larger than just now, and I stood behind her, even a little afraid that she would twist my body.
As last time, in a minute's time, she was back in the shade, and her steps were much lighter, even a little playful.
If I hadn't seen her change with my own eyes, maybe I would have seen such a lovely girl twice, but now, I just want to find the truth as soon as possible.
The third thirty minutes passed, and she stood in the sunlight for the last time.
Now it seems that she has completely recovered to her daytime appearance, revealing an inexplicable charm in her every move.
So, I watched her recover from a corpse?
The sky was already gray, and Guo Ling had changed back to her original state, so I followed her all the time and began to sort out the various strange events I had seen since last night, and I wondered if there would be any inextricable connections.
After all, the striking similarities make it impossible for me to ignore the significance of this stream to Guo Ling.
4、
In the past, the black water pool in the village was cleaned by the old people in the village because of the killing of children, and now the stream has become like this.
I have a vague feeling that things are getting more and more complicated.
Seeing Guo Ling standing not far away in a daze, I walked to the stream on the side again, reached out and picked up a puddle of water, and observed it carefully.
