Chapter 16: Knocking on the Monument (II)
According to her, the locust tree is the place where everyone gathers after each challenge. It was a hundred-year-old locust tree, and it was also a towering tree.
The two of us followed her, and as for the name, she only said that her surname was Mo, and we had to call her Miss Mo.
"Chen Qi, how are you?" Zhuang Qin walked side by side with me and suddenly asked me.
I raised an eyebrow, not knowing what she meant.
"I mean, after you and Jiang Yu came back, I felt that you guys were weird, especially the attitude."
I knew she was referring to the anger between me and Ji Wuqi, I rarely did this before, as for why, probably they touched my bottom line.
"Strange? As soon as we come back here, what attitude do you think we can have? "I thought so in my heart, but I said it with a meaningless look.
Miss Mo walked to the front, for some reason, she gave me the feeling that was weird, not that she was still old and young, but her whole temperament, revealing an evil spirit.
"Look! It's them! β
I looked in the direction of her finger, and there were people standing faintly under the trees. Not much, at most five or six people there compared to a dozen people.
It was empty, and it seemed as if the graves had been bulldozed. Only the dense tree was left, but when you get closer, the locust tree standing on the ground has a dense human skull hanging from it with a red rope.
"How are you doing?" Jiang Yu actually accosted us first, but his face was not very good. Could it be that his eyes are playing tricks again?
Ji Wuqi looked at us calmly, looking at us indifferently, probably still angry with me.
The faces of the people present were all bad, and among these people, I saw the tall woman from before. She sat on the ground, her hair disheveled. There were still undried blood stains on his clothes.
In addition to an uncle, there was also a young yellow-haired young man, who seemed to be a little lost at the moment.
Of course, the moment I saw Wu Hao, I looked at him vigilantly. He just frowned when he saw me, and turned his face away. It is estimated that I saw Zhuang Qin, who was still alive.
"Little brother! I'm so glad you're alive...... What do you think? "Mr. Wu came out from behind the tree. So people turned their eyes on him.
"Oops...... Bad luck...... That's the only thing that people do......" Mr. Wu looked around, and everyone looked around. To be honest, this Mr. Wu is even more annoying than Ji Wuchi's guy.
"Now the official game begins......" Seeing that we didn't react, Mr. Wu folded his hands and slowly threw this sentence.
"What do you mean? Isn't the challenge over! What else do you want to do? The woman seemed to be crazy, and her hands were tugging at her hair and beating hard.
"Knock knock...... Knock knock knock...... Hehe......" Suddenly she stood up, walked towards the locust tree, and began to circle the locust tree, in exactly the same way as the North Road. With a smirk in his mouth, he read what he had just said.
"Tsk...... It's a pity...... I lost my soul at this time. It seems that not everyone is like that little brother. Mr. Wu sighed regretfully.
"Mr. Wu, are you talking about the North Road?" Jiang Yu followed his words and walked towards the locust tree again, "Isn't this what you did?" The so-called psychic game is nothing more than a means of communicating with the dead, such as knocking on a monument......" He looked at Ji Wuqi.
I don't know what kind of medicine these two people sell, Ji Wuqi continued his words, "It's like this knocking on the stele, this old man's words, the stele, where the deceased live, belongs to yin." People, the gathering of yang energy, also belong to yang. That's easy to explain, knocking on the monument is actually a replacement of yin and yang. It is the saying that the dead borrow their souls. β
"If you can't bear the yin qi, you will naturally lose your soul, let alone many times."
"This is a game of life!" At this time, an uncle who sat on the ground looked up to the sky and sighed.
"Although these people who stayed behind are not crazy, they are not far away, are they?"
Poof, Mr. Wu smiled wryly. "What does it matter that they volunteer?" As soon as these words came out, everyone present was speechless.
Remember what I said? Mr. Wu once again focused his gaze on me. "Three rooms, three people, one of them holds three ropes, three cemeteries, three monuments, how many lives do the three have left?"
As far as I know, you, and the uncle sitting on the ground, and this one, he looked at the yellow-haired young man next to the uncle. Only the three of you didn't play the game.
Zhuang Qin's eyes were cold, blocking in front of me. "What do you want to do?"
But he soon ran out of strength. When he said this, the whole person became groggy in an instant. Except for the three of us, something strange happened to everyone.
"You...... What did you do? Ji Wuqi gasped, holding the ground with one hand, and looked at Mr. Wu.
"Ah...... I forgot to mention that those who have played this game, Yin and Yang will be replaced, and the body will temporarily fall into a deep sleep......" Mr. Wu smiled and finally looked at us slowly.
"So...... Let's get started......"
"Why am I ......?" the yellow-haired young man muttered as he slumped on the ground.
In front of us were three tombstones, and he struck them once alone, at his request. Drip our respective blood in front of the monument, and whoever is alive will be victorious.
He tied a red thread to our hands to bind us together.
I stepped forward and could hear my heartbeat clearly. Mr. Wu looked at me, and his appearance lost his humor and became serious.
I stretched out my hand, and the sound of "Knock Knock Knock...... echoed around me, and my heart was pounding. I'm sure they are too. A cold wind blew from the cemetery, and the wind swept up the dead leaves on the ground and swirled around the tombstones.
"Ho...... What month was born and what month died? "When I saw this, I felt like my throat was stuck, and I couldn't speak clearly.
"You should die...... this ethereal voice came to my ears, and the red thread in my hand trembled, and I instantly tightened my arm. The two men were startled and froze, not knowing what was happening.
There were countless roars all around, like they were about to tear my soul apart. The pain that pierced my heart, I felt that my internal organs were grabbed and ravaged fiercely, and blood gradually oozed from the corners of my mouth.
The green tendons in the temples burst out, as if they were about to burst.
Seeing the red thread seeping into my flesh and blood, and no longer thinking about it, it is estimated that my right hand will not be protected, at this time, I suddenly remembered something. I hooked my lips, and I already had the answer in my mind.
"It's all an illusion, an ......illusion," I muttered silently in my heart, gritting my teeth, and the fishy sweet taste in my mouth stimulated my nerves.
At this moment, I raised my left hand, endured the severe pain, and knocked on the monument again, "Knock knock...... Who lives and who dies? β
I turned around and fell to my knees. I could see that Mr. Wu was nervous and gritted his teeth. I sneered, I knew that I had angered the Tablet, this guy wanted me to die, but I didn't offend him at all.
As I knelt down, the rope on my hand loosened, blood dripped down my hand, and everything calmed down. When they saw this, they were terrified to the extreme.
"Don't play anymore...... Don't play anymore......" The yellow-haired young man panicked and wanted to remove the red rope from his hand.
"If you don't want to die, you try!" Mr. Wu still said calmly, but the yellow-haired young man did not dare to move. After experiencing those things, he believed that Mr. Wu really had the ability to let himself die without a place to be buried, and he didn't dare to bet.
This time it was Uncle's turn.
He shifted his steps towards the tombstone. Before it could be touched, with a violent burst of ground ground, the stele cracked open, and there was a terrifying head embedded inside. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a monster, it has no hair, dark teeth, a long tongue, and holes in its eyes.
"Ahhh......h
The yellow-haired young man collapsed on the ground. I couldn't help but vomit directly. "You just want us to die......" The yellow-haired young man really collapsed, desperately rushing towards Mr. Wu.
Unexpectedly, dozens of pairs suddenly appeared under his feet, grabbing the yellow-haired youth. Twisting his body and neck in a circle. With a grunt, his head rolled down. Falling at my feet, I finally couldn't help myself and vomited.
"The pupil is not ringing, and the dust is back to the earth. It's actually the monsters you're raising! Because of the runes, they can't smell our anger, but as long as we play psychic games, they are given a chance. Right? β
I endured the severe pain and said to him, if I hadn't thought of this sentence just now, I knew that I should be in the hallucination of those guys, and I guess it would be me who died. Those guys feed on the souls of fear.
Mr. Wu smiled grimly and applauded in encouragement.
"You're right."
"That kid on the North Road is very kind, I like him very much, you have his smell on you."
Those hands did not have Mr. Wu's instructions, and did not come forward to attack. Maybe I know the reason and I don't have the fear.
"His problem is peculiar. So I gave him the answer. Unexpectedly, he broke the taboo. He looked at me.
"You should be clear."
"Now, I can answer your questions and help you solve a problem."
"What do you mean? Why the hell are you doing all this? "I don't understand, this way, it feels deliberate.
"Yes, I will benefit from helping you in the future. Moreover, our main purpose is to collect souls and refine evil things. I'll help whoever I'm interested in. Mr. Wu was still smiling, but he couldn't see his true face clearly.
"Give me that thing." I looked up, my face gloomy, and now I didn't know what I was doing.
Watching my figure fade away, the smile on the corner of Mr. Wu's mouth slowly froze.
"Why didn't you kill him?" At this time, one of the masked men knelt on the ground and asked questions. "If he died, maybe he would be able to save them."
"Did you see that?" Mr. Wu didn't answer, just spoke to himself, "The red thread on his hand...... This is a warning, if I don't stop just now, maybe you and I will be buried here. The masked man's body trembled, and there was no squeak.
"I can only help them get here, as for those people, tsk...... I'm not going to tell them a single thing, especially the woman. β
"Subordinates obey!"
In another place, a little Lori came out from behind the locust tree, and when the masked men came just now, she did not take her away.
"Cut, the legendary Hitomi Dust is nothing more than that......" she hooked her lips, a vicious look in her eyes.
"So...... What exactly are you going to do? Another person walked out, and the green cloth robe turned out to be Ye Xiaoxiao, who had been missing for a long time.
"The lost soul of the North Road is also your ghost, but it's a pity that you miscalculated and didn't get anything. Go ahead! What the hell are you going to do to the Zero group of them? Mosa! β
Mosa smiled, full of charm.
"I do things and I never ask why. If...... If you still want to find Zotaro, just bury your head and do something. She lowered her head, "That guy...... I obviously scattered his soul, but he was just crazy, and he was still alive...... You go check someone. β
"Who?"
"Wu Hao." She turned to look at Ye Xiaoxiao, "I want to see what he comes from." β
ββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββ the dividing lineββββββββββββ
He had been listening to Mosa's orders before, and Meng Xi had participated in this challenge and successfully got his own answer. With her were the two mentally ill people. But who told her to go there, no one knows.
In order to take revenge, Liu Yu also participated in the challenge after getting the clue of Hitomi Bell Dust in the headless case.
Before that, she and Ye Xiaoxiao used blood Gu to kill Li Xinran in the hotel, and her purpose was just to help Ye Xiaoxiao get Zhuo Taluo's whereabouts.
But it's not that simple. They seem to have some unknown purpose. And the answer to all this may lie in Zotaro.
Everyone gathered around the hospital bed on North Road and told some of these things.
"So Ye Xiaoxiao and Zhuo Taluo are not in the same group, and Ye Xiaoxiao is also looking for Zhuo Taluo?" Beilu has woken up after drinking the medicine, and feels that he has missed a lot of things after sleeping. Now my mind is so chaotic that I can't think of anything.
It seems that the stubborn woman in Liu Yu's mouth should be Li Xinran. Jiang Yu remembered what Liu Yu said that day.
"As for that Jassa, I think she's a witch, her voice must have practiced some kind of evil magic to become like that, and there should be someone behind it." Zhuang Qin pondered for a long time and said slowly.
"Alas...... Uncle Ben has been busy for so long, but he still returned to the original point, where can he find Senior Brother Zhuo? Ji Wuqi twisted his neck, remembering that place was simply terrifying.
"Take it one step at a time, you really can't remember who gave you the video on the North Road?" Beilu shook his head when he heard Liu Group's question.
"I'm curious, what the hell are you going to participate in the challenge, what do you want to know?" Ji Wuqi half-bent down in front of Beilu and looked at it.
"Don't ask, he can't think of anything." Seeing this, I interrupted the two of them, "Let's go, he needs to recuperate, I won't bother, it's late." β
Then everyone left the ward one by one. Only one person was left on the North Road.
"What am I for?" Beilu shook his head suspiciously, vaguely feeling that it was a very important matter.
And a figure passed by the doorway.
It was late at night, and my mother hadn't seen me come back for a long time, so she specially boiled a pot of soup for me, but I was really not in the mood, so I drank a few sips and went back to my room.
The room was pitch black, except for my computer screen, which was playing the death record of Mr. and Mrs. Zhang.
The difference is that in the last scene of the shot, a human face appears in the window on the second floor, which happens to be facing the camera, and that person is me.
When the video ended, I slid the mouse a few times and deleted the video, leaving only strings of garbled characters, which were printed out as many as five pages......
Perhaps, everyone has a secret.

"Did you get it?"
"Got it? What exactly are you trying to express? β
ββ¦β¦β
"Who the hell are you?"
ββ¦β¦β
"Psychic games answer all your questions." The chat avatar dimmed, and he squeezed the things in his hand, "I can't let people know yet......
On the other side, in the yellowed photo album, he stroked the face in the photo, and the mountain of wine bottles was piled up under his feet.
