Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Monster on All Fours
Speaking of the past, the three of them all revealed the true feelings buried in their hearts, and they also had a new understanding of each other. Through this heart-to-heart talk, Wu Wei regarded the two as true friends. One is someone who has to protect for various reasons, and the other is someone who has turned it into a human corpse with his own hands. Lan Muxue had already had a great deal of trust in Wu Wei, and King Kong seemed to have a lot of trust in Wu Wei at this time, whether it was because Wu Wei had saved him or because Wu Wei had transformed him.
A few people chatted and chatted, and soon it was late at night. Wu Wei looked at the time, it was already eleven o'clock in the night, he reorganized his thoughts, and decided to go to the village again to take a look.
Wu Wei's house was at the west end of the village, and they walked out of the courtyard and down the street to the east. The empty village seemed even more silent in the middle of the night. Walking in the dark village, Wu Wei and the others found that except for the fact that it was dark, the village was the same as the day, and nothing strange happened.
However, the calmer the village, the more strange Wu Wei felt, and it was impossible for the villagers to move out of the village for no reason. Wu Wei firmly believes that if something bad happens here, it is impossible not to leave a little clue! Therefore, at this time, Wu Wei was more careful than when he checked during the day, and he almost looked at the window from one by one. If there is a courtyard, he will lie down and look out of the crack in the door. Some people's houses are fenced yards, so Wu Wei climbed in and looked at the window.
After searching like this for nearly an hour, Wu Wei checked about 200 households, but found nothing abnormal. King Kong said to him, "Even if there were threats to the villagers here, but now that the villagers have moved away, it probably won't happen again." Why don't we go to the surrounding villages tomorrow and ask for some clues, maybe we can find the villagers who moved away, and then we can just ask them? ”
What King Kong said made sense, but Wu Wei still didn't give up, and he planned to search every corner of the entire village to feel at ease. So he said to King Kong and Lan Muxue: "Why don't you go home and rest first, it seems that there is no danger in the village, I want to go around by myself, and I will go back after shopping." ”
Of course, King Kong saw Wu Wei's thoughts, so he said: "It's okay, I'm not sleepy anyway, if you want to go shopping, I'll accompany you." It's better to send Xiaoxue back first, and she won't stay up late with us as a girl. ”
As soon as King Kong finished speaking, Lan Muxue hurriedly said, "No! I'm going to follow you, I'm not sleepy! Besides, I'm scared to go back myself, and I feel safe with you. ”
Seeing that both of them said this, Wu Wei agreed: "Then let's turn around for another hour, and if we don't find it at one o'clock, we will go back to sleep." Now Wu Wei is whatever he says, so Lan Muxue and King Kong both nodded and had no opinion.
In order to improve efficiency, the three of them all leaned on the window or the crack of the door to check each house like Wu Wei. In the middle of the night, the empty and silent village already looked weird, and the appearance of Wu Wei and the three of them bending down to check from house to house added some indescribable weirdness.
It was already past midnight, and before I knew it, a layer of mist began to fill the village, and the moon that was originally bright in the sky became hazy at this time.
Wu Wei and the others each looked at the houses on both sides of the street, and several people were not far away. Wu Wei and King Kong are both bolder, and Lan Muxue, a little girl, is usually bold, and her heart will be weak in this environment. So Lan Muxue has been following Wu Wei not far away, and when Wu Wei inspected a house, she checked the house next to her.
Lan Muxue didn't look as carefully as Wu Wei and King Kong checked, after all, every house was dark and rumbling, and it always felt uncomfortable to look in through the window. Every time she checked a house, Lan Muxue would turn her head to look at Wu Wei to make sure that he was not far from her.
Walking to the center of the village, there is a more imposing-looking mansion, which looks out of place with the small doors and small households around.
Lan Muxue asked Wu Wei strangely: "Is this the landlord's house in your village?" ”
Wu Wei walked over and replied, "What age is there still a landlord?" This is the ancestral hall of our village, so the construction is more magnificent. However, because my grandfather and I were outsiders in the village, we rarely came to the ancestral hall. ”
Wu Wei said, opened the crack of the door of the ancestral hall, and leaned on the crack of the door to look into the courtyard. Lan Muxue walked to a house opposite the ancestral hall, which was relatively simple and had no courtyard. Lan Muxue leaned on the window and looked in, the strange thing was that there seemed to be something attached to the window, and she couldn't see the situation inside clearly.
What is it that is attached to the window in a blue-gray color with two red balls on it? In order to see the inside clearly, Lan Muxue put her face closer, and the more she looked at these two red balls, the more familiar they became, ...... this is? Lan Muxue suddenly felt her scalp explode, this was a pair of red eyeballs!
Just as Lan Muxue was sticking to the window and looking in, a big blue-gray face was also closely attached to the window and looking out, Lan Muxue and this face were tightly pressed together through a layer of glass, looking at each other!
"Ah——!h Lan Muxue screamed in surprise, and was so frightened that she retreated again and again, and her feet were so weak that she almost fell to the ground.
Hearing Lan Muxue's exclamation, Wu Wei and King Kong hurriedly ran over. Wu Wei saw Lan Muxue's frightened appearance, grabbed her shoulder, and asked, "What's wrong?" What do you see? ”
"Face...... There's someone in the house! Lan Muxue said in shock.
Hearing Lan Muxue say that there was someone in the house, King Kong took the lead in walking to the door, he pulled the door lock and twisted it hard, and the door lock was torn off by him on the door. With a kick, King Kong kicked the two doors open, and then strode into the house. Seeing this, Wu Wei also took Lan Muxue's hand and followed closely.
"Who's in the house? Come out! King Kong yelled loudly as he walked into the house. They entered the hall, and the room Lan Muxue looked at should be the bedroom on the left, and there was a bedroom door in the middle of the two rooms.
Wu Wei didn't know what Lan Muxue saw the person look like, so he grabbed King Kong and said, "Be light, in case it is a villager who hasn't moved away, it would be too reckless for us to do this." ”
As he spoke, Wu Wei stepped forward and knocked on the bedroom door and asked, "Hello!" Is there anyone in the room? I am Wu Wei from the west of the village, and Wu Mian is my grandfather! ”
After waiting for a while, there was no response in the room, Wu Wei turned his head and asked Lan Muxue, "Could it be that you read it wrong just now?" The door was locked, how could there be someone inside? ”
Lan Muxue shook her head firmly: "You can't be mistaken!" A face against the window and looking at me through a layer of glass! His eyes are red! ”
"Red?" Wu Wei and King Kong glanced at each other: "Then it's not a person, King Kong, kick the door open!" ”
Wu Wei gave an order, King Kong quickly raised his foot, and with a "bang-" sound, the bedroom door was kicked out.
Before the three of them could react, a figure suddenly rushed out of it. Wu Wei and King Kong were defenseless, and they were pounced by the guy inside, and quickly dodged sideways. Who knew that the guy who pounced didn't attack them, but ran out of the door.
"What's that?" King Kong asked in surprise. Wu Wei didn't answer him, and at this time he had already turned around and chased after him.
The guy who ran out of the house looked like a humanoid, but it ran on all fours like a beast, which was very strange.
The guy was very agile, and Wu Wei chased him to the corner of the street, and he disappeared as soon as he turned the corner. Wu Wei originally wanted to chase after him, but suddenly remembered something and stopped. King Kong ran slowly because he had to take care of Lan Muxue. He saw Wu Wei stop, and hurriedly asked, "Why don't you chase it?" See what it is? ”
Wu Wei shook his head and said, "I didn't see clearly, that guy was running too fast." However, I suddenly remembered that when I was at the entrance of the ancestral hall just now, I saw that there seemed to be several figures inside. At that time, Xiaoxue called me and didn't look carefully, so let's go back and take a look now. ”
The three of them ran back to the door of the ancestral hall, the door of the ancestral hall was very strong, and the door lock was several times larger than the ordinary lock. King Kong tried a few times and was embarrassed: "This lock is too strong, I can't open it!" ”
Wu Wei looked at King Kong and said, "Feel the energy in your body and release them with force, your strength is far more than that!" ”
King Kong seemed to obey Wu Wei's words, and after Wu Wei finished speaking, he did so without hesitation. King Kong clenched his fists and felt a powerful energy in his body, slowly releasing this energy throughout his body.
I saw that King Kong's eyes turned blood-red, four sharp canine teeth grew out of his mouth, and the muscles of his whole body swelled, looking at the mountains like a King Kong gorilla in a demon.
After the transformation, King Kong raised his fist again and smashed it hard, and the solid door lock was instantly broken. Immediately afterward, he pushed open the door of the ancestral hall and rushed in first.
There is an incense burner in the middle of the courtyard of the ancestral hall, and walking through the courtyard is the empty and solemn main hall of the ancestral hall. There is a plaque hanging inside, on which are engraved with three large characters "Shangzongtang". Under the plaque hangs an ancient portrait of the ancestor, and many tablets are enshrined on the offering table under the portrait.
When they walked into the ancestral hall, they didn't see Wu Weishu's figure. There are also two side halls on both sides of the courtyard, Wu Wei took Lan Muxue to search the side hall on the left, and King Kong himself searched the side hall on the right, but he didn't find anything.
"I can't be dazzled." Wu Wei was puzzled: "Could it be that the sound made when the lock was unlocked just now startled the snake?" ”
King Kong said: "It's also strange just now, the room opposite is locked, how did that guy get in?" Or was he locked in the room in the first place? ”
After King Kong turned into a human, his voice was much darker. When he spoke, Lan Muxue was a little afraid to look at him, so she shifted her gaze to the surroundings.
Wu Wei said: "Why don't we go to the opposite house and take a look, maybe we can find something." ”
They were about to go out when they heard Lan Muxue whispering on the side, "Why is it foggy all of a sudden?" ”
Only then did Wu Wei realize that there was already a thick layer of fog around him.
Why does it seem to be getting a little weird? Wu Wei muttered in his heart, and he instructed: "The fog seems to be getting thicker and thicker, let's not separate, to avoid a drop in visibility for a while, and it will be troublesome to disperse." ”
Wu Wei walked in the middle, Lan Muxue and King Kong walked on either side of him, and when they walked out of the gate of the ancestral hall, they found that the fog on the street was heavier. Since Wu Wei became a human being, his eyes could see things in the distance clearly at night, but now that it was foggy, the visibility was not even ten meters.
The three of them cautiously walked to the house across the street, the door of the room still looking like it had been kicked open. Wu Wei suddenly thought that there should be a lamp in the room, he searched in the dark for a while, and finally found a lamp rope next to the bedroom door. With a "snap", the light bulb on the roof really lit up, and the small room was filled with orange-yellow lights. With the light, everything in the room can be seen more clearly.
This room that I don't know what was just closed is really a bedroom, about fifteen square meters. There was a single bed under the window, and there was nothing on the bed board. There were also two broken wardrobes in the house, which were also empty.
Wu Wei lowered his head and pondered, "Is the guy in the room just now really locked up in the room?" He looks like a human being, but when he runs on all fours, he looks like a beast, and his eyes are still red. ”
Just as he was thinking, Lan Muxue stood on the bed board, looked carefully at the window and said, "It is also possible that he came in through the window, you see, the window is not plugged in!" ”
Wu Wei hurriedly walked over, he also stepped on the bed board, and looked down at the windowsill. It was found that there was an arc-shaped scratch mark on the window sill, which must have been left by the frequent opening of the window. Wu Wei grabbed the handle of the window and pulled it in a little hard, and the window was opened.
Wu thought to himself, that guy must have been startled by the movement of King Kong kicking the door just now, otherwise he would have run away from the window.
Wu Wei found that this window was facing the gate of the ancestral hall, and standing in front of the window, he could see the ancestral hall on the opposite side clearly. What do you do when you look at the gate of the ancestral hall? Wu Wei doesn't understand, surveillance? Or is it an observation?
Wu Wei was standing in front of the window and was thinking, when suddenly he glanced at it and found that something was wrong. The fog on both sides of the street became thicker, and visibility dropped several meters. But in the fog, there seemed to be a lot of shadowy figures.
Wu Wei poked his head out and looked carefully at both sides of the street, yes, there were indeed many "figures" standing in the fog! The figures were on both sides of the street, slowly drawing closer to the house through the fog.
Wu Wei hurriedly closed the window, pulled Lan Muxue out of bed, and easily turned out the lights in the room.
"What's wrong?" King Kong didn't know what Wu Wei saw, so he hurriedly asked in surprise.
In the darkness, Wu Wei whispered to the two of them: "Don't make a sound, we seem to be surrounded!" ”
