Chapter 38: Escape
Blood slowly dripped down my arm, and I grinned in pain, but the strange sound rang in my ears again.
"Come on...... The Dying Man......" He raised a weird smile at the corner of his mouth, and slowly stretched out his hand towards me.
I held my breath in fear, feeling like my arm was useless, and I couldn't use any strength!
But...... Just as his hand was about to touch me, a glimmer of light suddenly flashed in his arms, and I subconsciously looked into my pocket-
I saw a faint light emitting from my pocket, and I was immediately shocked in my heart, this ...... Isn't this a bony one!? Could it be that Gu Li saw that he had a sense?!
I quickly took Gu Li with my left hand, and the small disc shone brighter and brighter in my palm, even in the dark night...... Slightly glaring.
"Ahh......h Demons are afraid of light, so they act at night......
"You...... Who are you!? The shrill voice shouted, and I looked up to see a face that had been completely distorted and could not be seen staring at me!
I also salute him in the same way, it seems that Gu Li still has an effect on them, otherwise he would not have suddenly taken a few steps back......
But this ...... Why didn't this person disappear? Still standing here in one piece!?
Seeing that I didn't speak, the old man's expression became even more hideous!
"Die—" He screamed and rushed at me, his calloused hands sticking out his half-meter-long sharp nails and grabbing at me!
I subconsciously closed my eyes and raised the bone in my hand towards him!
Whoosh –
A strong force suddenly threw me directly to the ground, and Gu Li also came out directly-
Smack! I watched as my bones fell to the ground, right at the old man's feet!
"Danger!" Peng Zhe woke up at some point, and when I turned my head, I saw that he was yelling at me!
I was slightly stunned, and immediately looked up - I saw that the hand above my head was still hanging above my head!
I was shocked and immediately got up from the ground!
But the bone is not in my hands now, am I ...... Watching the nails on the top of my head get closer and closer, my heart kicked to my throat!
"Go!" After a loud shout, the top of his head suddenly brightened as day, and the next second the world fell silent......
The light of the bone slowly diminished, and it returned to the way it had just been in my pocket......
Peng Zhe slowly returned the bone to me, and a slight crack appeared on it......
Peng Zhe, who was beside him, gasped for breath and slowly sat down against the wall.
Could it be that Guli saved our lives? There was no longer the old man around, and the siblings were gone......
"I ...... We did it? I looked at him in disbelief, if it weren't for Peng Zhe's quick hand to pick up Gu Li and lift it above my head in an instant, I would have died by now......
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but glance at him gratefully.
But Peng Zhe's expression was still as serious as ever, and my heart sank subconsciously, and I immediately turned around-
Following his line of sight, I gradually saw that a hundred meters away, something was slowly moving!
Large and small pieces of stone were slowly falling off the stone wall, and in an instant I felt a powerful force rushing towards us!
My heart, which had just calmed down, was pounding again, and I was nervously clenching my bones!
Slowly, a figure appeared under the stone wall, but ...... When we saw it clearly, we realized that the man was not his grandfather!
This...... Who's this!? A hooded man walked slowly towards us, and his face was not visible at all......
His face was completely black, and he couldn't see where his facial features were......
His hat was so empty that I could even see the color of the hood inside!
I was taken aback and immediately took a step back......
"Hahaha!" The black shadow suddenly burst out laughing, and I got goosebumps from laughing.
"You're dead...... I'm the one who lives! He muttered to himself, though he didn't understand what he meant, but ...... He's going to kill us!?
This bone has become like this, I don't know if I can use it again, but ...... I don't want to die yet!
"Run!" Peng Zhe suddenly stood up and dragged me to the village! I don't know if there's anything he can do to save me......
But the black shadow was not reluctant to chase after us, and I subconsciously accelerated my pace!
Boom! I don't know how long I ran, Peng Zhe fell to the ground with a bang, and I lay on him by inertia!
"I'll rub!"
When he scolded, I realized that I was ...... actually pressed on his body, and quickly got up from the ground-
"You're really ......" Peng Zhe looked pale and slowly stood up.
But then I realized that the hooded man didn't know where he went......
"Don't look, he can't get in here." Peng Zhe pointed behind me, and I realized at this time that there was a line behind me at this time!
And this jumper...... Is it used to keep out ghosts?
Bang –
At this moment, a loud bang suddenly came from in front of me!
I was startled when I saw that the hooded man had rushed in front of us at some point!
"I'm rubbing! You don't say yes—"
"I don't know, let's go!" Peng Zhe immediately grabbed me and rushed forward!
The bone in his arms was still glowing warmly, but it didn't seem to be of any use to the hooded man......
"Die—" The ghost behind me let out a scream, and the next second I heard a sound piercing flesh......
Poof-
And Peng Zhe, who was pulling me, suddenly stumbled and fell directly to the ground!
I was startled and quickly examined his wound, only to see that there was a deep cut in his arm, and the sharp nails that had just been pierced...... There's even some left on it......
I was so sick that I almost threw up!
"Hehehehe...... You're dead......" There was a sinister laugh from the black hat, which gave me goosebumps on my back.
But now...... I can't help it, so I've just pulled out my bones, and now I can only end up losing them, if it doesn't work...... We're really dead here!
"Get out!" I yelled, and threw the bone at him without him noticing!
The right arm was completely unconscious, and Peng Zhe's left arm was also penetrated, and at this time the blood flowed from my hand, and I didn't even dare to look down......
Whoosh—the bone flew into the black hood and vanished.
I don't know what happened, but the hood suddenly stopped talking.
My heart was pounding, but I didn't dare to make any moves.
At this time, Peng Zhe had already fainted in pain, and I couldn't leave him here alone, I hope Gu Li must be more powerful!
"Ahh
Looking at the shining thing, I subconsciously caught the bone with my uninjured left hand, and the top ...... It seems to be more ...... than before Rough......
Is this my delusion? After each bright light...... That's it!?
"Let's go!" Suddenly, an arm scooped me up from the ground, and when I looked closely, it turned out to be ...... Peng Zhe's father!?
I didn't react, and before I could speak, he pulled me back!
Go Peng Zhe's mother has already put Peng Zhe on her shoulders and helped him forward!
"Uncle, that-"
"Shhhh He didn't explain, he grabbed my arm and walked forward!
And I was a little worried about the hood behind me, and subconsciously looked back-
The color of the hood became lighter and lighter, as if it were ...... Slowly disappeared into thin air......
A ray of sunlight shone through the trees, and the hood was completely invisible under the sunlight......
It's dawn!? I subconsciously glanced at my watch, and the hands were pointing at six o'clock!
Turns out we've been out all night!? It's still dark just now, but it's six o'clock now!
Stumbled back to Peng Zhe's house, and after his father treated Peng Zhe's wound briefly, he sprinkled something I don't know what it was.
Then he took the paper talisman and pasted it on it, and after a while of words in his mouth, the black blood stains on the wound slowly disappeared, and his pale face gradually recovered.
I glanced at my wound and it didn't seem to be quite his, at least there wasn't any strange black blood on it.
"You weren't injured by him, so it's fine." He seemed to see my doubt, and patiently explained to me, "But how many times have you said in the middle of the night not to go out and not to go out, why are you disobedient!?" ”
Immediately after that, he started nagging mode again, and I had to bow my head silently.
"What the hell is that hood...... "I'm a little curious, how could his grandfather suddenly become like that?" And...... How can there be something that isn't afraid of the bones?
"It's a ghost possessed by his grandfather, I can't tell what it is, so we put him there alone, at least to keep the rest of the village safe......," he said here, and he sighed secretly.
I used to think that his family was not old-aged, but it turned out that this was the case......
Looks like I'm wrong about them......
"Although your thing can save your life, I advise you to throw it away early, it doesn't look like a good thing." He pointed to the bone that I had placed casually on the table, and at some point two thin slits had appeared on it.
I was shocked, and I didn't believe what he said, even if it was a bad thing, it saved my life......
How can I ...... And this thing is so warm, what's the matter?
