Chapter 5, Mad Dogs
The word "illusionist" sounds like a professional title in an online game, but it appeared on the recruitment column of the official website of the Hall of Bones, which really aroused Tang Yao's interest, but after searching on the Internet for a long time, he didn't find any valuable information, and he was a little disappointed.
"Oh? Do you want to apply for a job at the Hall of Bones? A man's voice suddenly came from behind, and Tang Yao, who heard the voice, turned his head in a daze and saw a sloppy middle-aged man standing behind him.
The man, who looked to be close to forty years old, with a cigarette in his mouth, leaned his head over and seemed to know something about the Hall of Dead Bones in a tone.
Tang Yao frowned and asked, "Do you know the Hall of Dead Bones?" ”
The man spat out a smoke ring and smiled: "Hurry up and close the web page, there are many people in public places." ”
After speaking, he patted Tang Yao on the shoulder, turned around and left, Tang Yao was more determined that this person should know something, so he hurriedly chased after him, followed all the way, this person walked out of the Internet café and soon stepped into the narrow alley, and disappeared after a short time.
The empty alley was dim and long, Tang Yao looked at his mobile phone, it was already ten o'clock in the evening, and when he saw that the man had disappeared, he was about to return to the Internet café, but he was a little uneasy because of the man's words.
As soon as he turned around, a strange bright light suddenly flashed in front of him, and he was dizzy for a short time, and he came to his senses after a while.
"Who shakes my eyes with a flashlight, is there a sense of morality?" Tang Yao rubbed his eyes and scolded, but suddenly shuddered, and then the only old light bulb hanging on the wall in the alley went out with a "bang".
In an instant, darkness descended on Tang Yao's body, he began to get nervous and quickened his steps in the direction of the exit of the alley, but he could always feel that something seemed to be following him behind him, and there was a strange murmur coming from the poorly lit place.
Tang Yao took out his mobile phone and took a picture behind him, the flashlight that came with the mobile phone had limited brightness, and the faint aperture did not shine on anything, Tang Yao pointed the mobile phone at the wall as he walked.
It seems that he has thought too much, although the walls are pitted but there is nothing unusual, he let out a sigh and patted his face and said: "It's all to blame for the Beijun Temple, and now I'm talking about it." ”
But when he was relieved, there were slowly footsteps approaching behind him, very messy and accompanied by a low roar similar to that of an animal.
After a while, Tang Yao saw green points of light beating in the darkness, and in the next second, several sturdy figures came into Tang Yao's gaze, and the ones who made a noise in the dark alley before were actually a few wild dogs of considerable size.
This area was originally a shanty town, wild cats and wild dogs are not uncommon, but generally speaking, stray dogs dodge when they see pedestrians, but the situation in front of them makes Tang Yao feel extremely uneasy, a total of four stray dogs, the smallest of which looks like more than 20 catties, at this time four pairs of flashing green eyes stared at Tang Yao, with a warning roar in his mouth, and his body leaned forward as if he could pounce at any time.
Although Tang Yao was not afraid of dogs, the current situation still made him a little afraid, and he was even more puzzled why the wild dogs, who usually hid when they saw people, suddenly went crazy and blocked themselves in the alley.
He took a deep breath and shouted, "Get out of here." ”
But the wild dogs in front of him did not leave, on the contrary, they began to approach and became more and more aggressive, Tang Yao looked around to find something to defend himself, and finally only found a water pipe discarded on the ground, he quickly picked up the water pipe, and at the same time, the four wild dogs suddenly pounced on Tang Yao.
Tang Yao turned around and ran, but the speed of people was far inferior to that of wild dogs, and the fastest one jumped behind Tang Yao in the blink of an eye, and bit Tang Yao's thigh fiercely, and the severe pain hit, Tang Yao suddenly lifted the water pipe and smashed it on the wild dog's head, and even smashed the wild dog several times and did not let go of its mouth, but bit more and more tightly, and at the same time the other three wild dogs followed.
Don't look at the combined weight of these stray dogs is not as good as Tang Yao, but the strength is unexpectedly great, the four wild dogs bit Tang Yao's body, and even dragged him to the ground, in the chaos, Tang Yao could only desperately hit the wild dogs while trying to escape.
Wild dogs bite easily and will not let go, TV news often reports that pedestrians are attacked by wild dogs and cause serious injuries, now four mad dogs desperately tear Tang Yao regardless of the pain, soon Tang Yao can't parry, and more terrible is still behind, the largest of them, I am afraid that there is a big guy of more than 30 pounds jumped next to Tang Yao's head, full of sharp canine teeth directly towards Tang Yao's throat bite, if this bite is real, I am afraid that Tang Yao's life will have to be explained here.
At the critical moment, Tang Yao desperately raised the water pipe in his hand and inserted it directly into the wild dog's mouth, one end of the water pipe was quite sharp, and it pierced into the wild dog's flesh the moment it was inserted, but this mad dog did not give up because of the pain, and still tried to attack Tang Yao desperately, and the other three wild dogs had already bitten Tang Yao's legs with blood.
If he continues like this, he will definitely die, Tang Yao understands that if he only thinks about avoiding it at this moment, he will definitely not survive, he has to find a way to kill these four mad dogs.
Almost using all his strength, Tang Yao roared and sat up from the ground, and then grabbed the water pipe with both hands and nailed the largest wild dog to the wall of the alley, the wild dog struggled like crazy, almost biting off the water pipe, but at this moment Tang Yao's desire to survive was stronger.
Completely ignoring the injuries to his legs, the only thought in his mind at this time was to kill the biggest guy first.
The dog's struggle gradually weakened, and a large amount of blood flowed down the wall to the ground, and finally the guy was defeated and trembled a few times and seemed to pass out.
The remaining three mad dogs gave up Tang Yao's thighs and pounced on his head and arms, Tang Yao seized the opportunity to try to get up from the ground, limping backwards as he struggled to swing the hose.
There was still a dying wild dog hanging at one end of the water pipe, and Tang Yao roared frantically: "Come on, Lao Tzu can still be afraid of a few mad dogs?" ”
I remember when he was a child, Tang Yao was often ridiculed by children of the same age because of his gambler father, at first he would always find a way to explain and even slap these children, but later he found that it was completely useless, they still laughed at him, threw his head with a stone on his way to school, and secretly threw his schoolbag into the sewage pit after class.
So he gave up his old way, he began to fight back, at first with his mouth, then with his fists, and finally he became a loner among his peers, and all the children were afraid of him and avoided him, but at least they did not dare to continue to be arrogant in front of him.
Since then, Tang Yao has understood a truth, if a person like him wants to survive in society, he must be ruthless.
His legs trembled with pain, and his arm holding the water pipe was extremely sore, but Tang Yao didn't back down at all, he roared like a madman: "If I come here again, I'll kill you and eat meat, come on......"
At this moment, another bright light flashed in his eyes, and after a short dizziness, he found that everything in front of him had changed, the four wild dogs no longer existed, although he held the water pipe, the carcasses of the wild dogs were gone, there was no blood on the ground, and what was even more strange was that there were no wounds on his body.
It was like a dream, but after experiencing the bizarre incident in Beijun Temple, Tang Yao was somewhat familiar with this strange situation in his heart.
Hurriedly checked his physical condition, although his hands and legs were still very sore, especially his legs were still faintly painful even if there were no wounds, but fortunately there was no bleeding, looking around, although the light bulb in the alley was broken, but there was no blood, and it seemed that he was the only one in the alley from beginning to end.
"Is it the same evil as Beijun Temple?" Tang Yao couldn't explain what happened to him, he only thought that he had fallen into evil.
At this time, there was a sound of clapping hands behind him, Tang Yao hurriedly turned around, and saw a person standing at the mouth of the alley not far away, who was the strange middle-aged man he saw in the Internet café.
"What's going on?" Tang Yao asked loudly, his intuition told Tang Yao that everything that had just happened must have been the devil of this man.
The middle-aged man smiled at him and said, "Do you want to know, invite me to have a drink, and I'll tell you." ”
