Chapter 233: Devouring
She didn't pay attention to me, but went straight back to her room.
But...... Xiaowen didn't come out of the room for three days, and I was still a little worried.
It's just that every time I want to go in, I will be stopped by the woman, and seeing her malicious eyes, I can only stop my steps.
"Go somewhere at night." She said to me suddenly, her attitude was as cold as ever.
"Why should I go?" I really don't have a crush on this woman, and ...... I really can't see where she looks like Xiaowen's sister.
"If you don't want to see her die." She interrupted me coldly, and a pair of eyes stared straight at me, seeing that my back was hairy.
I didn't expect ...... It turned out to be Xiaowen.
I had to nod, but ...... But I didn't see a strange smile flashing at the corner of her mouth.
She gave me an address and disappeared, and I had to ...... I came to the other side of this familiar river.
The river is a bit cold and biting, I wonder if it's because there is almost no sunlight here, so it's so cold.
Walking through here, I thought...... When I came that night, I saw a man dead here, but when I came again with the courage to come, I saw nothing.
It's only been a few days, how can his body be ......
Could it be that someone has disposed of it? I couldn't help but feel horrified, and a bad premonition slowly crept up in my heart.
I've been doubting their identities for a while, and ...... The truth seems to be really what I imagined......
They are not ordinary people, but ...... The kind of ...... that the village is afraid of People who don't know what profession they are in.
Could it be...... It occurred to me ...... Peng Zhe once told me about the Gu techniques he had seen...... Isn't it the same bug as this? Are they...... Gu Magician?
With a stirring spirit in my heart, I can only silently persuade myself not to think about it, but ...... But this thought lingered in my mind.
The thing was in the woods, in a ...... ...... in the pit of a dead tree'
The thought of the woman's words sent chills down my back......
Quickly dispelling the bad premonition in my heart, I took a deep breath and began to look for ...... But after searching for a long time, I couldn't find where the so-called dead tree was......
But...... I looked up suddenly, but suddenly I realized...... The tree in front of you......
Something is different.
All the leaves had withered, and there was not a single leaf on it, and the whole tree looked like a dead tree in late autumn and winter, with a layer of frost on top of the bark, and it looked like ...... It's out of place with the surroundings.
Don't...... That's it?
I silently stepped forward, picked up a thick branch from the ground and began to dig a hole, but ...... After digging for a long time, there was nothing underground.
Isn't that here? She had said that something buried in the ground would save lives, but she didn't say what it was......
I can't help but feel a little anxious in my heart, Xiaowen doesn't know what the situation is going on these days, although he said that before...... But I just can't sit idly by.
And...... I also wanted to ask some questions in person, not the woman.
I don't know when it got dark, but my hand never stopped.
Until...... With a click, the branch in my hand suddenly broke somehow—
I subconsciously reached out and touched it...... Ground floor...... It seems that there is something very hard, but ...... I don't know what it is.
This one...... Is that what she asked me to find? I hurried to continue digging the pit, but ...... As time went on, it slowly came to light.
A delicate box...... It was buried deep in the earth, and I took it out, and it seemed to be ...... inside There was also some kind of eerie sound.
Squeaky ...... It seemed as if there was something alive in it, and my hands trembled slightly at the thought of it.
But...... I didn't have the courage to open the box, so I had to carefully put it in my bag and go back—
"Ahh......h Throwing people into a fryer...... Shout at the top of one's lungs.
I was so frightened that I shuddered, and my pace subconsciously sped up a lot......
I instinctively wanted to leave this weird place, but ...... The voice seemed to follow me right behind me, not leaving.
But...... The eerie gaze behind me seemed to be around me and I couldn't leave...... I threw out a note of my own......
Followed by...... The strange sound seemed to fade away, and I hastened my pace back to the village.
There was no one in the village at night, and it was strange to look at it.
Could it be...... Scared?
"I didn't expect you to come back alive." The first thing the woman said when she saw me was this, then gave me a cold glance and took the box from my hand.
"It's up to you now." She suddenly turned around and gave me a weird smile......
"You ......" grabbed my neck tightly with one hand, and then ...... I just felt like I couldn't breathe at all...... Consciousness gradually blurred.
"Eat it, and ...... You'll be able to save her. As I spoke, I saw her hand...... Slowly reached into the box, and ...... I held a wriggling bug and put it in front of my eyes!
I suddenly looked at her with a stirring spirit...... Slowly shoved the bug into my mouth!
"You-" I was about to speak, but she gaged me all at once! The bug smelled of blood and rancidity, and it rushed all the way to my head!
I don't have time to refute...... And the worm followed the ...... Slipped......
I only felt sick to my stomach for a while, and then she threw me directly to the ground!
The bug...... I almost felt like I was going to throw up, but ...... It was as if something was burning my body, and I just felt like my whole body was on fire.
And then...... I don't remember anything......
……
"You're awake!?" As soon as my eyelids moved, a familiar voice sounded in my ears.
I don't have time to figure out who this is...... I only heard a burst of footsteps, and then several doctors looked in front of me for a long time, and seemed to be sure that I was all right.
"I ......"
"You're finally awake, and you know you're scared us to death!" When I opened my eyes, I saw a familiar figure, one in my memory......
Peng Zhe...... "I seem to be able to piece together the memories in my mind completely, except that sometimes my mind will still pop up some strange pictures from time to time."
"What the hell happened to you before? How could it be...... What kind of place did you run to by yourself? ”
He looked at me solemnly, but I was suddenly stunned—
I...... Did you run there on your own? But I remember it clearly...... I feel like I'm being controlled by them......
"Don't ask, he probably can't think of anything now." At this moment, the little monk suddenly came over and sat on the edge of my bed.
"You ...... How did I get back? "My memories seem to be stuck in my mouth at that time......
Thinking of this, I covered my stomach for a moment, but ...... That strange feeling there seems to have disappeared, that regurgitating taste......
Even now that I think about it, I still feel sick.
According to Peng Zhe, I was rescued by them at that time, and just when I was about to die, the worm didn't seem to have completely eaten away at my body, so it was fine, and the woman ......
It's gone.
Xiaowen's life and death are uncertain now, and in that room...... There was no her at all, and it was as if that woman was lying to me all the time that day.
And that's how they saved me......
"The woman has escaped, maybe when she will come back, you ......" Peng Zhe looked at me thoughtfully, "Do you know what it is?" Who is that woman? ”
I was slightly stunned, then shook my head.
The woman...... I only know that she is not an ordinary person, otherwise how could others be afraid of her?
"She is a grass ghost woman, a woman parasitized by Gu." The little monk said lightly at this time, but ...... But I was suddenly stunned-
Grass Ghost Woman...... That's someone I've only seen in a tree, I didn't expect it...... You showed up in real life, and I was there so close......
"You're really lucky you're okay, woman...... I might want to swallow you straight at any time. Peng Zhe said as if he was suddenly relieved, "Especially for people who are from Taoist priesthood, they have an exponential effect on her cultivation. ”
But...... She didn't seem to want to kill me, but she didn't do anything drastic to me......
"That's because you have a layer of protection on your body, which was given to you by the three elders." The little monk seemed to see the doubt in my heart, and then said.
I looked at him dumbfounded, not expecting it at all...... That's the reason......
"So she's been waiting, waiting for that layer of protection on your body to disappear, and if I'm not mistaken, tonight is the time for her to act."
...... in my head Suddenly I remembered the bug...... And the two people who were dead when they were locked up in the basement that day......
Whether it's on the body or in the mouth...... All have that disgusting worm......
They rely on this ability to continue their lives and ...... Continuing to make yourself younger like she is.
If I'm not mistaken, the old lady that day was also her, but she needed fresh blood, and after that, ...... The man who died in the basement...... It's a sacrifice for her to live.
"Then they ......," I hesitated suddenly, "where have they gone?" ”
"I don't know, but you should be safe for now, as long as you don't leave school." The little monk added.
While the school protection is indeed useful, it's just ...... After Wang Xiaoxiao's incident, I became suspicious of this protection of the school.
If it really works as it says, why does it come in with that weird ...... What about the pen fairy?
"Forget it, you have a good rest, let's go out first." Peng Zhe's phone rang, he glanced at his mobile phone, and then glanced at the little monk.
When did the relationship between the two people become so good? Even I don't know? I looked strangely at the backs of the two who went out without discussion, and secretly had some doubts in my heart.
But watching the two of them go out, I was ...... I can't help but have some bad premonitions.
So when I followed, I heard a conversation between the two.
"How's she doing?"
"I don't know, I can't get in touch now, the message from her grandfather hasn't been contacted yet, I see ...... Everything points to disaster. ”
"Things haven't gotten to a point yet, don't say anything discouraged."
"It's not a frustration, it's just ...... When she went out to cultivate, even her grandfather couldn't find her, how could she be okay!? ”
"Anyway...... Don't tell Lu Yan about this. ”
I heard my name in a trance, and I had a deep memory...... I finally remembered a girl named Yan Yun......
"What the hell is going on with her!?"
Memories poured out like seawater, and I felt like I was ...... Everything came to mind in this moment, that familiar name...... That wonderful girl......
Why did it suddenly disappear!? I was too busy to bother with it, but ...... The consequences turned out to be!?
She hasn't found it until now!?
"You...... Why did you come out all of a sudden!? Are you okay!? Peng Zhe seemed to be startled when he saw me come out, and quickly gave the little monk a look.
"I'm fine...... I remembered it all, you don't have to hide it from me, just ...... just now" I took a deep breath, "I remembered it all, Yanyun and Lulu...... What happened to them? ”
