When I think about this, I feel less scared. Illusions, they're just illusions.

However, these dusty memories in the depths of my mind suddenly swarmed out at this time and place, and I must say that there must be an external force influencing it.

I think of what someone told me a long time ago, and my heart is calm and cool. I tried to calm myself down, but the scene was so scary that I forcibly controlled my emotions and picked up the lighter that had fallen on the ground and lit a cigarette.

As soon as the cigarette was lit, the mood really calmed down a lot. The ghostly-looking child seemed to be quiet, and took a few steps back. By now, I was completely sure that the people I saw were memories, and that they were no real threat to me.

I simply turned my head away from the kid behind me and smoked on my own. Sure enough, the surroundings fell silent.

It was quiet, and after a while, I turned my head and saw that the child was gone. However, I can't really be calm yet, because the village I encountered, and these people, is actually a potential crisis. None of this would have been possible if the situation had really been completely normal.

What's the problem?

I looked in the direction I had just walked in, and I guess I was lost, and now let me walk back to the starting point, maybe I can't remember the route.

Wow......

The night wind seemed to be a little stronger, blowing the water of the lake, and the water surface was surging layer by layer, and the small boat that had been parked on the water had unconsciously approached this side.

There was no one on the boat, but when I looked up at the boat again, I saw an old man sitting in the bow. The old man was wearing a ridiculous-looking raincoat and holding a fishing rod, as if he were fishing.

As soon as I saw the boat, and then the old man on the boat, I was immediately alarmed. At this time, my mind should not be as foggy as before, and I can feel that this boat is very abnormal.

"What are you doing here?" The old man in the boat turned back to me and said, "There's a boom here, let's go fishing together." ”

When the old man turned around, I recognized that this was the uncle of the blind San'er, surnamed Ma, nicknamed Ma Devil, and also a very old senior in the ancient line. I used to ask Ma Devil for some things, I went to his house twice, and the conversation was more speculative, but then I went to him again, and I learned that he had passed away.

The hemp devil is another person who has died. I felt that I had calmed down, but the appearance of the hemp devil once again made me suspicious and confused. His appearance has not changed at all from before, and even every hair looks so real.

"I don't know how to fish." I didn't run away, because the situation is obvious now, I'm probably still in that invisible circle, and if I don't find out the root of the problem, then I'll always be wandering around, and I can escape now, and I can't escape the future. So, I remained silent, squatted in place, smoked, and talked to the devil to see if I could find some flaws.

"Fishing and playing, passing the time, I have a lot of time." The devil sat in the bow of the boat, very patient, the boom in his hand was very steady, his expression, and tone, were exactly the same as when I had seen him before.

"Ask you something." I didn't want to talk so much nonsense, so I asked bluntly, "Do you know how you can get out of here?" ”

"Why go out? Wouldn't it be nice to stay here? Ma Devil said slowly: "The world is impermanent, people's hearts are sinister, it's too tiring to live in the world, it's carefree here, I feel good when I come here, you can stay too, don't go again." ”

The more I listened to the words of the Ma Devil, the more people felt chills down the spine, and before I could speak, the boom in the Ma Devil's hand moved, and he shook the boom violently, and with a bang, a big shadow was pulled up from the water.

Boom!!!

"Caught, caught." The devil was very happy, stood up, and looked at the shadow that had just been pulled up from the water.

This shadow fell directly to the boat, and I have secretly told myself many times that what I see may not be real, and no matter what I see, I cannot be surprised or alarmed.

However, when I saw the "fish" caught by the hemp devil, I couldn't help but open my mouth wide.

It was a man, a living man, who was still moving his hands and feet after falling into the boat. Thin fishing lines were wrapped around the man's neck, making it impossible for him to break free.

This person is not blind, I can recognize it, this is a person in Bao Weigong's team, I call him Xiao Wu when I hear Bao Weigong. This Xiao Wu should be the backbone of the team, and Bao Weigong trusts him very much.

It's been a long time since I was separated from Bao Weigong's team, and now when I see this person named Xiao Wu, I can't figure out what is going on. Ma Devil looked at Xiao Wu on the boat very proudly, squatted down and patted Xiao Wu's face, looked up and said to me, "Look at him, he has come." ”

"Fake."

"What's fake?" Ma Devil probably didn't expect me to suddenly pop out of such a sentence, so he hesitated for a moment and asked, "You say, what is fake?" ”

"It's all fake." I took a breath and said, "You're dead, what are you doing here?" ”

When I said this, the expression of the hemp devil was suddenly full of astonishment.

"You know....... Know I'm dead? ”

"I already knew." I looked at the hemp devil and felt that I had finally broken free from that inexplicable confusion: "People can't be resurrected after death." ”

The Ma Devil was stunned, unable to say a word, and followed closely, his face was like a slowly crumbling porcelain, and small cracks continued to spread on his face.

My heart is much more relaxed, and I understand this truth, these dead people who are sealed in my memory can no longer have any impact on me. I watched as the hemp devil was like a pile of foam, gradually dissipating in front of me.

The hemp devil is gone, but the boat is still there with Xiao Wu on the boat, I want to go and see what Xiao Wu is doing now.

I took a step towards the boat that was already drifting to the lake. The shore of the lake is full of water, and when you walk on it, you will sink into the mud. I walked with great difficulty, I could walk about ten paces, and my feet seemed to be stuck in the muddy water and I couldn't pull them out.

I had to go back with all my might, but when I went back, I felt the indescribable weight of my steps, and every step I took seemed to be hundreds of pounds.

Gradually, I couldn't walk a little, and it seemed like a mountain was pressing down on me. Before I knew it, my waist was bent, but I didn't seem to notice it, until my waist was rickety like a bow, and I suddenly realized it.

But I can't straighten my back, my shoulders are heavy, and the burden is very heavy.

In this moment of lightning, I suddenly remembered what I had seen in that small puddle of water. Chen Dong and Brick, just like me now, were slowly bent over by an invisible pressure, until they were finally unable to support them and fell to the ground.

At that time, I saw a shadow on their backs, but the scene in the puddle fluctuated, and I was not sure if it was a shadow.

But now, all of a sudden, I felt as if something was on my shoulder.

I was so crushed that I couldn't even lift my head, so I tried to reach out and grab my shoulder, but it was empty, and I didn't catch anything.

Puff ......

The pressure I was under had reached a critical point, and my body could no longer support it at all, and I fell to the ground. But I didn't lose consciousness, and after the fall, I was still struggling desperately.

I was covered in mud and water, trying to get back up. At this time, it was hard for me to clearly feel that there must be something on my shoulder, it was so heavy that I couldn't get back up with all my might.

I kicked the ground with my feet and rolled back and forth a few times. I felt that I might be crushed to death, and the strong desire to survive made me constantly struggle. Before I knew it, I was rolling over a shallow lake.

The moonlight above my head was still so bright, and as I rolled to the water's edge, half of my body was reflected in the lake.

Through the reflection of the water, I was stunned, because I saw that there was really a vague shadow on my back. I don't know what the blurry shadow was, but I felt it had two claws, right on my shoulder.

My pupils contracted suddenly, and at the same time, a strong premonition suddenly appeared in my heart, and I had a premonition that the author of all this might be this blurred shadow on my back.

What the hell is this? What is it?

Barking...... Barking......

Just as I was trying to tell what the shadow was, I heard a few ethereal dog barks out of nowhere. The sound of the dog barking sounded far away, but it seemed to be close to my ears, and the moment the dog's barking penetrated into my ears, I felt a chill on my back.

I tried to turn my head, but my neck felt petrified, and I couldn't move. I lay flat on the edge of the lake, my face almost buried in the water. I held on to my arms so that I wouldn't plunge headlong into the water.

The moonlight is clear, the breeze is blowing, and the reflection of the water surface is still vivid. The shadow on my back was blurred to the point of imperceptibility. However, as I struggled to brace myself, I saw as if someone was slowly walking behind me.

The person behind me walked all the way to the edge of the lake, I couldn't turn my head, and I couldn't see who was behind me, but the figure of the other party had already been projected onto the water. I saw Shanxiu, Blind San'er, Zhang Kuan, and the Ma Devil who had disappeared just now, like a walking corpse, walking to a place very close to me.
