Chapter 176: Tapping Footsteps

There was a long silence.

There was a voice that surrounded him, like the cry of an old woman or the cry of a wild beast?

The voice gradually cleared up, the cry of a man.

Lin Chen rubbed his eyes vigorously with his hands, and when he opened his eyes, a cloud of fog appeared in front of him, and in the mist, he saw small alleys, old-fashioned and dilapidated houses, strangely dressed pedestrians shuttling on the road, and the air became wet.

Soon, all sights were gone.

"Daoist? Taoist? Where are you? Lin Chen shouted at a loss, and in a panic, he fell to the ground.

There was no response, only fog, a white mist.

He couldn't see anything, but the woman's crying voice became more and more distinct, and the voice was right and around him.

I don't know how long it took for the fog to finally lift.

The gloomy atmosphere made Lin Chen quickly realize that he was already in a changed environment.

Where is this?

He struggled to get up from the ground, rubbed his eyes, and when he opened them again, his eyes suddenly became clear in an instant, because with his previous experience, Lin Chen did not feel any surprise.

Lin Chen looked around, the towering ancient trees stood up, a dilapidated tower stood solemnly in the middle of the forest, the clouds in the sky were cruising in the sky like ghosts, greedily absorbing the moonlight, starlight, the world below was weirdly dark, dense forests, and the tower added a touch of gloomy atmosphere here.

Don't be afraid, don't be afraid! Lin Chen muttered to himself, he whistled and emboldened himself.

The woman's crying stopped abruptly.

Lin Chen's mind seemed to be still thinking about that story, Zhao Xiaoshuang, Ding Shujiao, and his love-Liu Peizhu in the story that Lu Yichang told him.

Zhao Xiaoshuang!

He muttered in his mouth.

In the treetops, a frantic birdsong interrupted his train of thought, followed by a scream that pierced his eardrums, and his body and mind were frozen in fear for a moment.

So many strange things happened, like a dream, the Taoist priest, the small streets, and in an instant, they changed into the scene in front of him, but this time, there was no one else, only himself, Lin Chen felt lonely, frightened and confused.

Lin Chen tried to calm down, and there was no woman's cry, and the silence around him was like a cemetery.

When he saw an old tree beside him, which was thick and tall, he took refuge in alarm behind it.

The birds in the trees seemed to have a premonition of something, and they screamed and flew away like bees again.

The clouds that had just been dense gradually dispersed, and the thin moonlight showed mottled shadows through the branches above the trees.

Suddenly, there was a sound of kicking footsteps, and a fat black figure staggered over from the other side of the woods.

The figure was familiar, short, clumsy, and a little bit sparkling.

As he ran, he kept looking back, and Lin Chen could hear his tired gasps.

Lin Chen excitedly guessed, could it be a fat man? He didn't scream for safety.

See, it's a man, is it..?

Lin Chen still didn't dare to be categorically sure that this person was fat.

By the dim moonlight, Lin Chen tried to open his eyes wide, he hesitated, should he stop him? Is that dark shadow fat?

"Oh! "

What is this sound?

Hearing this voice, Lin Chen only felt a chill down his spine, this voice was too familiar, it was the voice of the woman in black in the subway.

With such a voice, a black mass appeared behind the man.

Lin Chen held his breath, he rubbed his eyes, looked at it intently, and followed the fat

Behind the figure was a woman.

It's her!

Her steps were scrambled and hurried, and when she ran near Lin Chen, Lin Chen instinctively flashed back behind the tree.

The terrifying sound became even more harsh, getting louder and louder, so loud that it almost pierced Lin Chen's eardrums, and the sound suddenly disappeared, along with the sound of footsteps.

She was nearby, maybe just a tree away from him.

Lin Chen was so nervous that his heart was about to pop out!

There was silence all around.

After a while, Lin Chen poked his head out and took a look, this glance didn't matter, it almost didn't scare him into fainting.

I saw that the woman was squatting on the ground, with a miserable white face, a hideous face, long black hair, long black blisters, and a long blood-red tongue in her mouth. There was also a black cat squatting beside her. The cat's eyes emitted a strange light, and the fierce gaze was as terrifying as a ghost fire.

"Oh! "

It's the same sound again!

The sound came out of her mouth, like a magic spell, and it came into Lin Chen's ears over and over again, one after another, stimulating him to chill for a while.

Perhaps not knowing where the stocky man had gone, the woman in black stood up and continued to walk forward.

Lin Chen looked up at the tree behind him and found that it was a big tree with intricately intertwined roots, one story high, with thick branches, not very tall, he decided to go up first and hide himself. Lin Chen used both hands and feet, climbed up lightly and agilely, hiding in the branches and leaves, at this time the fog had not dissipated, he stepped on the branches, held the tree with both hands, and looked down.

Quiet.

Lin Chen hugged the tree trunk and rubbed his eyes with one hand, he couldn't be sure if the woman in black was still nearby.

It was very quiet, there was not a trace of movement, the sky was drifting clouds, and the cold moonlight shone out from the thin dark clouds. Through this hazy moonlight, Lin Chen found a black shadow standing not far from the tree, as if it was a human figure, he took a breath, and when he looked at it again, the figure was gone.

Judging from the short and stubby form of the figure, it would not be a woman in black.

Soon, he found that the figure was the frightened man, at this time he was squatting down with his head in his hands, Lin Chen hesitated for a moment, and tentatively handed his hand down, "Come up!" ”

The man looked up at the voice.

"Fatty!"

Lin Chen was so excited that he almost fell off the tree, "I'm Lin Chen!" Come on! ”

The fat man's face was already frightened without a trace of blood, and when he suddenly heard such a sentence, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and when he saw that it was Lin Chen, he said excitedly: "Lin Chen! Where have you been? ”

"Come on!" Lin Chen said in a low voice.

The fat man handed his hand over, Lin Chen strained himself, and the fat man was too heavy to pull it up.

"Come again! You jump up, come again! ”

With the help of force, this time, the fat man finally climbed up, and the branches made a "squeak" sound, shaking up and down violently.

"Look at your flesh! When it matters, it's really useless! Lin Chen said.

The two of them hid together in the thick branches.

"I thought you were dead!" The fat man whispered.

"What words! Can't you just think of me! Seriously, I thought you were dead! ”

"Hehe, it seems that the two of us are half a catty to eight taels, don't say anyone! Where have you been? ”

"Shh

Lin Chen made a gesture of stopping.

Listening with bated breath, that terrible voice came from a distance, and the voice seemed to be approaching them, Lin Chen instinctively grabbed the fat man's hand, leaned back, and hid in the leaves. Clouds obscure

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

It was moonlight, and in the distance it was pitch black. Both of them were nervous, each clinging to the trunk of the tree, lest he fall if he stumbled.

"Oh! "

Strange voices are endless.

The moment the moonlight leaked down again, they could see it clearly.

Under the tree, stood a woman dressed in black, with a black caftan and yellow narrow trousers. Lin Chen and the fat man held their breath together, and both of them could feel their hearts beating wildly, beating a little too fast.

The woman looked around, her face was extremely pale under her long black hair, without a trace of blood, and her expression was stiff, as if she was wearing a mask.

"Oh!"

She let out a long voice, low and hoarse, swirling in the silence of the cemetery, causing Lin Chen and the fat man to break out in a cold sweat. The dull voice was enough to shake people's hearts, as if she was speaking to someone, and as if she was talking to herself in a neurotic way.

Lin Chen and the fat man looked at each other for a moment, as if they understood something in their hearts.

"Meow-"

A cat meowed, and a small black shadow threw itself into her arms.

Lin Chen and the fat man didn't dare to act rashly, and they figured out the woman's intentions in their hearts.

She held out a hand as pale as a zombie, patted it in her arms, paused for a moment, and then ghostly moved away.

It is estimated that the woman in black walked away, and Lin Chen let out a long breath.

"She's gone?" The fat man was a little worried.

"Don't be afraid, go far!" Lin Chen comforted.

Lin Chen jumped down first, stretched out a hand to support the fat man, and jumped down. The fat man didn't stand still, he fell to the ground, couldn't get up for a long time, and still looked frightened.

"The woman... The woman... The woman.." The fat man squeaked.

"What's wrong with the woman?"

"That woman is a ghost! I saw the people who had been sucked dry by her! It's as dry as a dried specimen! ”

"Sucking human blood? Who sucks the blood? ”

"A woman!"

"Where?"

"Over there!" The fat man pointed to a mountain forest in the distance, "After that forest, it is sandy land, and there is a long sandy slope, and I slid down from there." There's also a small ditch over there, and the water isn't deep! ”

"Oh! What did you just say! Sucking human blood? Lin Chen repeated the fat man's words and couldn't help but tremble.

"Is Ye Jiangchuan in the hands of this woman? She won't suck Ye Jiangchuan's blood, right? Speaking of this, Lin Chen shuddered and gasped. It's horrible! Just thinking about it can scare people to death! ”

"It's hard to say! Ye Jiangchuan, he won't die, right? How do I feel about Ye Jiangchuan.. Right there! The fat man was so nervous that he couldn't speak incoherently.

Lin Chen patted the fat man's back, "Don't be nervous, speak slowly!" ”

"From where?"

"From you being trapped in a tree? I called out to you for a long time, and you didn't respond at all, I thought you were stuck, how did you get out alive? Stuck so tightly and the tree so high, how could you still be alive? Sky! You won't too.."

The fat man shrugged his shoulders and said, "Do you think the one who is talking to you is also a ghost?" ”

Lin Chen smiled, "No! Just your boy's body, it's as heavy as a scale! I just pulled you up, you almost didn't pull me down, if the gods and ghosts probably don't have the weight of you, hehe! It seems that your oily meat is still somewhat useful, at least for now, it can reassure me! ”

The fat man relentlessly "Humph! "I haven't suspected that you're a human or a ghost!" You just called me coldly, I almost didn't sit on the ground! ”
