Chapter 21: Apparitions
Even though it was early in the morning, there were still a lot of people at the bus stop. Yan Ning hugged her luggage and sat down nervously.
There are men, women and children around, there are office workers and student parties, and there are some social people who have nothing to do, Yunhai City is not a tourist-type city, and it is really strange that there are such people at this point.
Yan Ning couldn't help but think about it, she even had the idea of stealing the axe from her neighbor, and the more she looked at the people around her, the more she felt that something was wrong, so she gave up the bus and stopped a taxi instead.
Yan Ning leaned back on the chair after talking about her destination, she didn't eat much for dinner, and now she was hungry and panicked after a night's trouble, and her stomach hurt uncomfortably.
Feeling out the biscuits she had bought before, she chewed two pieces dryly, drank half a bottle of water, and barely half full.
At this time, a friend saw her news and offered to pick her up at the subway station, and Yan Ning felt a lot more relieved.
As her body warmed up, she said peace to her friend.
The driver doesn't like to make small talk with passengers like locals, and Yan Ning sits in the back seat, breathing in a particularly cramped voice. The driver was too silent, but she felt a little hairy in her heart, and after the previous encounter, Yan Ning's spirit was extremely sensitive.
She suddenly began to regret choosing a taxi instead of a bus, the vehicle was driving on the city road, the speed was not fast, there were still many people walking on the street, Yan Ning saw the bus stop in front, so she said: "Master, you just put me down in front." ”
She was afraid that the driver would not be happy if he could not make money, and at the end she added: "The money is given." ”
The driver didn't squeak, but the speed of the car increased. Yan Ning was anxious, and hurriedly knocked on the back of his seat: "My friend has something to do with me temporarily, I'm really embarrassed!" ”
The driver, who had been silent, suddenly slammed on the brakes, Yan Ning slammed forward because of inertia, and the mobile phone fell to his feet and rolled twice. When she struggled to find her phone and looked up, she found that everything had changed outside the car window.
The ground was full of devastation outside, the yellow sand was flying all over the sky, and the mobile phone that Yan Ning picked up squeaked and turned off automatically, leaving her dumbfounded to sit in the back seat.
She swore it was the first time in her life that she had seen such a scene. In the desert Gobi, the poplar is upside down, and the wind blows between the coarse grains of sand. The street is still this street, the city is still this city, but it is a picture that will never appear, Yan Ning stepped on the solid gravel ground, the rough stones rubbed against the soles of her feet, and also scratched her mind.
Occasionally, a few ravens flew in the sky, and the laughter was very strange. They couldn't help hovering in the sky, winding in a big circle, and Yan Ning suddenly thought of the wreath.
She looked up at the sky, but the wreath was black.
At this time, she heard someone calling her, so she turned around and saw a little boy sitting on the left hand side with trembling hands reaching towards her, holding her sleeves, with blood and tears in his eyes: "Sister, I'm so cold, can you take me away?" ”
What kind of dirt is hidden in the little boy's body! pestered her again and again, provoked her fear again and again, and a wave of anger spontaneously arose in his heart, and he shouted: "Good you big-headed ghost! ”
Big-Headed Ghost: ......
She could see that the driver was not a good person, or even a person, and he was here to kill her like the little ghost next to her.
Yan Ning could clearly hear the sound of her saliva, she turned her head sideways, pulled the hem of her clothes out of the little boy's hand, and scolded: "!" ”
She just looked up to find that the driver had mysteriously disappeared, and the taxi had changed from the previous green to a dull yellow, she really couldn't stand it, the water column that came out of the bathroom, the black shadow that climbed up and down, the disappeared driver and the ghost boy who suddenly appeared, all made her nervous tense to the extreme.
Yan Ning could clearly hear her heartbeat, she had also heard that this was called a ghost calling the door, she couldn't agree, otherwise she would invite the other party to go home with her.
In the face of these aliens, she has never had a choice, Yan Ning clutched the jade bracelet in her hand, thinking that others praised you for your amazing skills, but at the critical moment, it was to help!
Yan Ning moved her butt closer to the car door and quietly put her hand on the handlebar.
The monks of the temple said well, saying that they could keep peace, and it was useless at the critical moment. If you can get out alive, you must find the monk to reason well.
After the little boy was rejected, his mouth was about to cry at a glance, he stretched out his hand and wanted to pull Yan Ning, and then his attention was attracted by the jade bracelet, the little boy stopped crying, pointed to the jade bracelet that Yan Ning clenched, and asked in surprise: "Sister, can this thing be given to me?" ”
The little boy could feel that this jade bracelet was a treasure, and if it was given to him, he would be able to improve his cultivation a lot, so he said, "As long as my sister gives it to me, I will let you go." ”
"......" This is still a money-hungry ghost.
But as long as you don't be greedy for your life, Yan Ning nodded decisively, "Okay!" ”
She wanted to take the jade bracelet off, but the bracelet that was originally worn loosely on her hand was now like a big circle, and it was tightly stuck on her wrist.
Seeing that Yan Ning refused to take it off, the original naughty smile disappeared instantly, and he directly became angry and angry, and his nails instantly became longer and grabbed her. The boy glared widely and let out a piercing roar, "Give it to me!" ”
The more anxious she was, the more she couldn't take off the bracelet, and in the face of the boy's attack, Yan Ning thought that her life would be at stake, but in the next second, a layer of blue light suddenly appeared from the jade bracelet, and the boy who pounced directly ejected from the car.
Yan Ning was surprised, but at the same time, she also understood that it was this thing that was protecting her, so she opened the car door with her bracelet and ran out quickly.
The boy fell to the ground, no longer pretending, and suddenly the ghost was overflowing, his limbs were elongated, and he turned into a black shadow, leaving only a ghost head, which was exactly the appearance of the previous driver.
He quickly chased after Yan Ning, the only human part of its body was the head, at this time there were two lines of blood and tears, flowing out of the red eyes, Yan Ning was soon caught up by him, she saw the other party's eyes flashing with resentment and sorrow, and opened his mouth to devour her.
Yan Ning thought to herself how her little arms and legs could outrun the monster, the monster's abyssal giant mouth seemed to have no end, the black hole was hollow, and it could shatter her in an instant.
She simply stopped running away, closed her eyes and thought that this life was over, so she missed it, and in an instant, the red light was sheng, and the monster let out a high roar, different from the previous anger, this time it was a pain that even Yan Ning could feel, its distorted face showed an unbelievable expression, and the next second it turned into black smoke and disappeared.
With the disappearance of the monster, the surrounding illusion slowly shattered, the expected pain did not come, Yan Ning was awakened by a horn.
"Tick-"
Yan Ning was stunned and saw that the taxi driver was turning his head and showed an eager smile to her: "Girl? You've been sitting here for a long time, and you didn't answer when I called you, and you haven't said where you're going! ”
Yan Ning was blindsided again.
She couldn't help but suspect that she accidentally ran into the ghost illusion when she got into the car, the driver was still the same driver, and the talkative appearance was the same as the locals, she felt a little at ease, knowing that the jade bracelet could kill ghosts, and she was glad that she didn't give the man in the suit.
She reported the address, and then talked to the driver without a ride, and soon arrived at the gate of the community.
My friend was chatting with the security guard, and when he saw her, he greeted her: "When did you come to Yunhai City, why didn't you tell me in advance!" ”
She was surprised to see her friend, who had been rarely talking, holding her arm intimately, turning around, and driving her into a bar in the alley.
"Seeing that your face is tired, I'll take you to relax." The friend motioned for Yan Ning to sit down at the bar, and greeted the waiter with a smile: "I've been here several times, it's quite clean here, and I won't add other ingredients." ”
Speaking of this, she stuck out her tongue embarrassedly, "Yunhai City is too humid, I have been working here for two years, and I haven't learned anything else, so I know how to drink." Try it, it's the sign here. ”
Hearing this, the waiter winked at his friend and smiled ambiguously: "Miss Pei is a frequent visitor to our place, and she will order Mary as soon as she comes." ”
Yan Ning's friend's surname is Pei, and his name is Pei Ruyu. As the name suggests, the person's appearance is considered to be the best among the crowd. She also winked at the waitress and threw a wink, "What about your boss?" I haven't been here for a few days, and now my sister has come from Jincheng to visit him, but she can't hide from me anymore. ”
Although she was smiling, she was not happy at the moment, saying that she would come to the parking lot to pick her up, for fear that she was going to go, and borrowed her courage.
She patted her friend on the shoulder, scooped up the goblet and took a sip. The blood-red cocktail swirls in the goblet, and the mouth is not spicy, even with a hint of sweetness. For work reasons, Yan Ning doesn't touch alcohol, every time she drinks, she will get dizzy for several days, this time since she has made up her mind not to participate in that project, and in order to make herself forget the unpleasant experience, Yan Ning simply finished in one gulp.
There were some small snacks at the bar not far away, and Yan Ning happened to be hungry, so she asked her friend to sit first.
Although Yunhai City is located in the basin, its population is not inferior to other provincial capitals, and there are many people who have more night owls at night.
She doesn't know how to dance, she doesn't want to dance, she doesn't get caught up in the restless atmosphere, and she doesn't want to disturb friends and bar owners on their dates, eating snacks and playing with her phone.
A man in a black sweatshirt walked past her and paused for two seconds before walking towards his friend.
Yan Ning finished fighting the landlord and was about to go to find a friend, when a dull sound suddenly came from the center of the dance floor, as if something had fallen, Yan Ning heard the movement and looked up, and saw a motionless woman lying near the steel pipe.
She slammed to the ground, her face hitting the ground first, motionless, blood slowly pouring out from under her body.
Seeing that she had not moved for a long time, her dance partner turned her over, followed by a frightened retreat, and he shouted, "Help! Help me! Kombat 110! ”
