Chapter 27: See Again "Yin and Yang Road"

This cabin is on fire again!

This time, it shouldn't be that the charcoal brazier caught fire on its own, but that the man in black deliberately set it on fire to burn me!

Downstairs, the crackling sound was getting louder and louder. The soles of my feet were burning hot, too. The fire is developing very quickly, it has burned to the storage room on the second floor, and when it comes down, it will burn to the third floor!

The instinct to survive drove me to try to break free from that rope. However, the rope was so tightly tied that no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't break free.

Then, the smoke had drifted into the attic, choking on me and I could barely breathe.

No, if I do this again, I will either be burned to death by fire or smoked to death!

"Help, help!" I screamed.

But how could there be people here? The man in black is going to kill me, so how can he come to save me? At this time, he was afraid that he had already run away.

Suddenly, the attic door was pushed open with a bang!

But no one came in.

It turned out that a gust of wind blew into the house and slammed the attic door open.

As soon as the wind entered the house, it took away the choking smell of smoke and the smell of formalin's solution, and I was finally able to catch my breath.

But just as I was breathing a sigh of relief, the plank under my feet shook violently.

What's going on? Could it be that there is an earthquake here?

No, it's not an earthquake, it's a floor slab that's about to collapse! The fire has already burned to the roof of the building, and if you go down, even the beams of the house are about to collapse!

Sure enough, the floor collapsed!

Before I could scream, I had already fallen along with the slab······

I fell to the ground hard, and the impact of the impact knocked me unconscious.

However, I soon opened my eyes and found that the rope I was tied to had been loosened!

The collapse of the attic saved my life.

I broke free of the rope around me, stood up, and turned my head.

I saw that the small wooden house had been burned to ruins!

I've saved my life, but what about the equipment I have? Are they all gone? Have they all been burned by that fire?

I touched my pockets and trouser pockets, and luckily the three things—the ring, the pistol, and the flashlight—were still intact, and they were still on me!

It's strange that the man in black attacked me and didn't even take my pistol? Isn't he afraid that I will escape, get a weapon, and give him another shot?

However, I soon laughed at myself.

The man in black, like a ghost, follows me wherever I go. He wasn't afraid that I would fight back against him, even if I had a pistol, and there was nothing I could do about him. He can attack me, but I, like a chick, can only be left to his toy.

That pistol, to that guy, was like a useless toy pistol. He didn't need this thing at all, he could easily have killed me!

This time, I was scared. My opponent is a hundred times stronger than I imagined!

But why didn't he just kill me, but instead devise some game that would kill me every time? This guy, what does he want to do, is he just trying to tease me?

It's true that some psychopaths like to engage in these things. They don't kill people with a single sword, but they like to constantly put the victim in danger and watch how the other person responds. If I hadn't been lucky these times, I'm afraid I would have been tortured to death by him a long time ago.

I'm still alive, but the fate of this little cabin is tragic.

It has been reduced to ruins, and perhaps, this is its ultimate fate.

I may have foreseen that the cabin would be destroyed in a fire. Yes, that's not an illusion, it's a foresight. I don't know why I saw the future, but I did see its fate. In the end, it still can't escape a fire, and the secrets of its former owner, the male ranger's family, may also be buried under the rubble forever with this fire, right?

The house had burned down, and I had nowhere else to go but to continue wandering and fleeing.

At this time, I suddenly felt a little thirsty.

I need to drink water, I'm really thirsty. But where is the water here?

I thought about the car, and maybe there would be water in it, right?

Still, I didn't dare to go back to that car, what if that terrible man in black was there?

So, I had to look for another source of water.

Luckily, I didn't have to walk a few steps before I found a well on the side of the road.

This well is hidden by the surrounding weeds, so it is not easy to spot if you are not careful.

I brushed aside the weeds that covered the mouth of the well and looked into the well.

The water was very deep, and the clouds in the sky and the shadow of the waning moon fell on the well.

However, I was very happy to see the water at the bottom of the well.

However, even if there is water, it is useless at this time. I still have to get one thing to get this water up.

So, I searched around the well again. Finally, in the grass, I finally found a wooden bucket for drawing water, and on top of this wooden barrel was still tied with rope.

God help me!

I took the barrel in my hand, went back to the well, and lowered it gently.

Finally, water came out of the bucket and I brought it up again.

The bucket was full of water, and I buried my head and drank it, and drank most of the bucket in one go.

What a pleasure!

At this point, I don't care about anything anymore, even if I wait a little bit, I'll spit out something terrible. Now, I just want to quench my thirst first, can I manage it later?

The water in the bucket, glowing with moonlight, also illuminated my face at the moment.

This is an unkempt man with a scruffy beard, like a homeless man on the street.

However, the moonlight was so weak that I couldn't even see my face clearly. However, I don't want to look at my face too much. Now I'm just a guy running around, it's not easy to survive, do you have time to think about anything else?

However, after a few more sips, I suddenly felt a little sick in my stomach, probably because I had drunk too much just now.

Anyway, there was no one here, so I simply found a piece of grass and squatted in to make it easier.

When I was done, I washed my hands again, and this time, I was completely comfortable.

After experiencing the test of life and death, as long as you can live, it is a kind of happiness!

But at this moment, suddenly, I heard something in the distance.

I was stunned for a moment, and immediately crouched down in the grass again.

That, it seems to be the sound of a car starting!

Strange, did anyone drive over?

Then, not far ahead, I saw a car speeding forward, heading forward, in a foggy place, and drove past.

Oh my God, this, isn't this the worn-out tool cart?

That's right, that's the car! However, wasn't that car abandoned a long time ago? The car was rusty everywhere, and even the four wheels were suffocating. Can such a car be started? Am I dazzled?

I rubbed my eyes, but the car had long since disappeared into the fog and was no longer visible.

So, I walked out, flashlighted, and pulled out my pistol.

I'm so scared when that man in black will come out again, and I'm so nervous that I'll probably shoot someone if they suddenly appear in front of me!

I walked to the same place where I had parked the tool cart again, yes, this is it!

On the left, the ruins of the house are still there. On the right, the dilapidated tool cart is gone!

It turns out that the tool cart has really been driven away? But how did that guy do it? Unless, he fixed the car?

There was no one else here, probably the man in black who attacked me from behind and tied me to the attic.

In this way, it was the man in black who repaired the car, drove it again, and escaped!

Bastard, how did I let this guy get away? I should have picked up my gun and shot the car!

Although I was a little annoyed, I still regained my spirits and got back on the road.

This time, I decided to follow the direction the car was driving away.

Since the man in black was driving towards that place, it means that there must be a road in that direction! Perhaps, as long as I follow that path and keep going, I can leave this hellish place, right?

Although I also knew that there might be danger ahead, I had no way back now and could only go on that path.

Before leaving, I looked back at the small cabin that had been burned to the ground. And, farther away, the Dream Hill Cemetery, shrouded in thick fog.

Farewell, cabin, farewell, Dream Hill Cemetery, farewell, ghost hospital!

But where does it lead ahead?

What kind of fate awaits me······

I followed the path and continued on my way.

Sure enough, there was a road ahead, and it was still a road down the mountain.

The tool cart was already far away, and in the thick fog, I couldn't find its whereabouts.

On this silent and terrible night, on this mountain road shrouded in thick fog, I was the only one, holding a lonely figure, walking slowly. Behind him, there was a long shadow, which looked really a little bleak and bleak.

At this time, I can only count on myself.

I don't know anyone here, and I don't trust anyone anymore.

I don't know how long I walked, I finally came down the mountain, this mountain, should be called "Dream Mountain", because that cemetery is called "Dream Mountain Cemetery".

I turned around and looked at the mountain again.

At this time, the mountain, which had been surrounded by dense fog, looked like it had a certain mysterious and terrifying aura.

This place, I don't want to come back again anyway.

So, I moved on. The road behind also became smoother.

After walking for a while, I actually reached the bottom of the mountain.

Just on the side of the road, I found a crooked street sign, and from a distance, I thought it was a drunken man who was about to fall.

"Yin Yang Road"? Strange, how is it the "Yin and Yang Road" again?

When I saw this sign, I became uncalm again.

I clearly remember that when I ran out of the ghost hospital, the road up the mountain was called "Yin Yang Road"? However, how can there be the same road name here?

What's even more strange is that this sign, like the one I was going up the hill against, was not placed at the intersection, but in the middle of the road. Is this a coincidence, or is it an elaborate design?

However, I quickly figured it out.

The reason why this road is called "Yin Yang Road" may be because it leads to Dream Hill Cemetery and other places. The Mengshan Cemetery is full of dead people, it is the place of the underworld, and the rest of the place is the yang world. Isn't the road between the two worlds of yin and yang called "yin and yang road"? And as for why this sign is in the middle of the road instead of at the intersection, probably because people seem to be alive, and they don't know when they went to the underworld, right? Even if there is a sign at the intersection, you may not know it, so it is better to put it in the middle of the road.

However, these are also my own whims. How did the name of this road come about, and how did the street sign be placed, I'm afraid, only its original builders will know, right?

In any case, I can only follow this "yin and yang road" and continue to escape······
