Chapter 27: Staring into the Abyss

Finally the horses were stopped and driven to stop under a large tree on the side of the road.

Barely shelter from the wind and snow.

Li Liang knocked on the door of the carriage and shouted, "Master, it's not good, the snow is too big, let's hide here first!" Let me in. ”

The carriage is not large, but it can barely seat four people.

"Master?"

There were several knocks on the door, but there was no response from inside the carriage.

Li Liang looked at the dirty glass suspiciously.

There were indeed three people sitting inside, could it be that they were asleep?

Not really, right?

The emotion of fear was like a snowflake falling on the ground, accumulating little by little, and began to occupy Li Liang's heart.

After swallowing a mouthful of saliva, Li Liang took out his pistol, put his other hand on the handle outside the car door, and pulled it outward.

There is no imaginary resistance.

The door was easily opened, and Li Liang saw three people sitting in the carriage.

But these three people are not Tang Luo three.

It's three complete strangers!

No, it's not completely unfamiliar.

They were the three people on patrol who they had just seen when they passed by the manor.

When will the person be replaced?

Li Liang was horrified and instinctively pulled the trigger.

Bullets were fired into the cramped compartment.

Li Liang saw blood burst out from the three of them, but the three strangers still maintained their original sitting posture, motionless.

Six rounds were quickly fired.

The sound of "click, click" came.

The voice reminded Li Liang, who unconsciously pulled the trigger, that there were no more bullets.

He threw the left wheel into the car, turned and ran backwards.

He didn't run a few steps, and a hand stretched out from behind Li Liang's back.

Press on his shoulder.

The huge force came, and Li leaned back and slammed it on the ground, gray snowflakes splashing everywhere.

It hurts hotly in the back.

Li Liang, who was lying on his back, saw three faces appear above his head.

Three faces that were hit by bullets and should have died.

They just stood like this, bent down slightly, staring at Li Liang condescendingly.

There is no half of the gleam in his eyes, as if he is a dead man, as if he is a puppet.

In each person's hand, he held a rusty dagger.

Li Liang saw clearly, the mottled dagger was not only rusty, but also bloodstained.

He could even smell the smell of blood coming from the dagger.

"Shouldn't the dagger be fake, just some kind of illusion?"

"A ripper can possess three people at the same time?"

"Jack the Ripper is still able to possess and manipulate corpses?"

"If he can possess and manipulate the corpse, why did he run away after being 'killed' by Uncle Zhou that night?"

"Master, when did they disappear?"

In an instant, Li Liang's mind was filled with all kinds of doubts.

It's like a marquee.

These doubts will never be answered for him.

The dagger fell.

Li Liang's body glowed, forming a curtain of light that blocked the dagger.

However, even emotions have not had time to release and transform.

The second dagger also fell, and the light curtain shook and dimmed.

At the same time, the third dagger "smashed" the light curtain.

Li Liang's body trembled, shaking wildly like a fish on the shore, slapping the ground.

Subsequently, the struggle stopped.

The blood stained the gray snow red, then turned black.

"It's snowing so much."

Chu Chongtian looked at the window of the car door next to him, the gray snow, and he couldn't even see the scene on both sides of the road.

"Knock knock!"

Zhou Zhenguo knocked on the wall of the carriage twice and shouted, "Xiao Li, stop, come in and hide, the snow is too big!" ”

He was answered by the neighing of horses.

The carriage shook for a while, and the horses pulling the cart suddenly began to gallop at high speed.

Zhou Zhenguo and Chu Chongtian did not sit firmly, their bodies shook, their foreheads collided together, and they bumped into each other.

The carriage shook wildly.

It feels like you're sitting on a mad bull.

"Jump out of the car."

Tang Luo opened his eyes and slapped the car door on the slam open.

Shaking his head, Zhou Zhenguo jumped down first and fell on the ground covered with gray snowflakes, and he didn't know if he was injured.

Chu Chongtian gritted his teeth and jumped down.

That posture is obviously much more ugly than Zhou Zhenguo.

There was a muffled grunt, and he almost hit the wheels.

Tang Luo didn't jump down in a hurry, half of his body hung outside the carriage, looking ahead.

Li Liang, who was originally driving the car, didn't know when he had disappeared without a trace.

After staying for a while, Tang Luo took a step and landed directly.

It's like stepping down from a stationary carriage, with no effect.

When he turned his head to look at the carriage.

The two galloping horses had disappeared into the snow with the carriages.

After two glances, Tang Luo turned around and walked in the direction he had come.

After walking back for about ten minutes, Tang Luo saw Zhou Zhenguo and Chu Chongtian, who had already converged.

Both looked a little embarrassed.

There were also some abrasions on his body, but fortunately he didn't really hurt anything, at most because the pain would affect his movement for a while.

It's good to take a break.

"Xiao Li, he-" Seeing Tang Luo appear alone, Zhou Zhenguo stopped talking.

"He's gone." Tang Luo said, "If you can go, let's look for it." ”

"Okay."

The two nodded.

It happened so suddenly and so weirdly.

Although they don't want to admit it in their hearts, they all know that the heavy snow these days is definitely not a normal natural phenomenon.

Leaving from a small town to the present.

How long?

From a clear sky to a blizzard now.

Apparently, there is some unknown force that is preventing them from leaving the town.

Jack the Ripper?

They don't know, to be honest, and they don't want to think about it, and they don't want to think deeply about what the hidden power is.

Ignorance is sometimes a blessing.

Zhou Zhenguo and Chu Chongtian had calm faces and slowly walked in the direction where the carriage disappeared.

There's only one road here.

As soon as you walk, it is almost an hour.

Both felt like their toes were about to freeze.

Try to keep your hat as low as possible, with the collar pulled up so that only one pair of eyes is exposed.

Rao was like this, but he still couldn't stop the cold and bitter cold that seemed to invade the bone marrow.

"Found it!"

In the wind and snow in front of me, the silhouette of a carriage appeared, right in the middle of the road, motionless.

"No one."

Approaching the carriage, neither the carriage nor the driver's seat was empty.

And that's not all.

The entire carriage was covered in a thick layer of ice edges, and it was completely frozen.

Including those two horses, it seemed to be standing in the wind and snow, as if they had been dead for countless years.

"What the hell?"

Chu Chongtian said, his tone full of depression.

It seems that since the night of the manor, things have been completely out of their imagination.

Like a wild horse on the loose, galloping towards an unpredictable future.

Standing next to the ice-like horse, Chu Chongtian couldn't help but take a few steps forward.

Suddenly, there was nothing under his feet.

The rustle of stepping on the snow did not sound, and the snow under his feet began to fall.

In the direction of the horse's head, the ground beyond has completely disappeared at some point.

In its place, there is a black bottomless abyss.

The gray snowflakes fell into the black abyss before Chu Chongtian.

Chu Chongtian's unbalanced body also fell.

Then, with a tightening of the collar around his neck, the force of his body threw him flying and landed behind the carriage.

Sitting on the ground, Chu Chongtian was so pained that he forgot his surprise.

"What's going on?"

Zhou Zhenguo walked up to Tang Luo and asked.

It's not that I'm asking Tang Luo, I just want to say something.

Tang Luo, who grabbed Chu Chongtian and threw it back, said, "Obviously, we can't leave the small city anymore. ”

This sudden appearance of the moat can not see the bottom at a glance, and there is no edge in sight.

Tang Luo didn't think that if he walked a few hundred meters to the left or right, the black abyss would disappear.

As you can imagine, the small city has become an island.

Belong to Jack the Ripper's hunting grounds!

There is no one to run from.

"Let's go."

Zhou Zhenguo said that since there is no way to escape, he can only face it.

He and Chu Chongtian turned around and walked back, only to notice that Tang Luo had not left, still standing next to the black abyss.

Look at it intently.

This is the legendary "when you stare into the abyss, the abyss also stares at you"?

"Master?"

Chu Chongtian spoke.

"The poor monk is wondering what will happen down here, and he kind of wants to go down and have a look." Tang Luo said.

"Huh?"

The two of them were shocked, Master Xuanzang wouldn't want to jump, right?

"Master, calm down." Chu Chongtian hurriedly shouted, "Don't jump!" ”

"Huh."

Tang Luo smiled, "Don't worry, the poor monk is not a reckless man, just think about it." ”

“……”

"It's good if not." Zhou Zhenguo laughed dryly.

But naturally they don't know, if it is not for the hurt relationship.

Tang Luo really didn't have to think about it.

I, Tang Xuanzang, are fearless - wait, not now, when I get a few apprentices back, I can rest assured that I can be bold and happy to go over.

Without the carriage, everyone would have to step on the snow one deep and one shallow.

Walking all the way back, I didn't find Li Liang's figure.

I didn't see the footprints that should have been there in theory.

As we get closer to the town, the wind and snow gradually weaken.

By the time we got to the vicinity of the manor, the sky was already clear.

Only the hats, shoulders, and the traces of melting snowflakes on their clothes reminded the three of them of what had just happened.

Chu Chongtian walked back unbelievingly, and snow began to fall in the sky again, and the temperature dropped suddenly.

Make it clear to them that there is only so much range of activity.

"Was there a limit to the scope of activity in the previous mission?" Tang Luo asked.

Zhou Zhenguo thought about it for a moment and shook his head: "I don't know, generally speaking, the range of activities of our gods and demons is centered on the task and radiates around. Even if you don't plan to complete the task, you won't get too far away. This kind of explicit to the extreme, so to speak, is a mandatory restriction, and I have not encountered it. ”

“…… What is Jack the Ripper's abilities? Chu Chongtian asked.

"I don't think it's like it, he's so strong, why hide it...... Perhaps, it is really the limitation of gods and demons. Zhou Zhenguo sighed.

It can turn a small town into a Jedi, creating a black abyss as a moat.

What did Jack the Ripper do?

Zhou Zhenguo really doesn't want to think about it.

"Three people less."

Tang Luo's voice made Zhou Zhenguo and Chu Chongtian look at him.

"The caretaker of the manor, there are three people missing, and the ...... is left"

Walking to the closed gate of the manor, Tang Luo reached out and knocked on the door.

Leaning against the door, the Gran Field Patrol, with his back to them, shook and fell straight to the ground.
