Chapter 33: The Scarlet Toad

At ten o'clock in the evening, a few of us met at the school gate on time, Longchuan drove, Tang Ning sat in the co-pilot, and An Ran and Neku and I sat in the back row.

The expressions of several people were very solemn, and even Brother Neku, who usually talks a lot, frowned at this time, as if he was worried about something.

I also seemed uneasy in this atmosphere, not just because I was afraid, but because I was worried that they would pay so much and whether I would be able to get things done tonight.

In fact, there is a place I have always been unable to understand, that thing pretending to be me, a while ago in Baihuai Village, I saw him swallowed by that monster with my own eyes, how to force him out tonight?

I thought about it, but I couldn't help but ask this question.

"It's not as simple as you think."

Brother Neku smacked his lips, "The things you see pretending to be you are all illusions, you can understand that they are incarnate, not their real subject, what we have to do tonight is to force out the main body of this thing." ”

Illusion? Doppelganger?

I listened to this thing getting more and more evil, but I didn't continue to ask, I have experienced too many things in the past few days, and I don't feel strange to hear how evil things are now.

After driving for more than an hour, they came to the foot of a barren mountain, and walked up an overgrown path for more than half an hour, until they finally came to what they called the most evil place.

Surrounded by jungle, there is a lawn about the size of three basketball courts in the center, which doesn't look special, but I can feel a particularly strange cold, even a layman can feel that this cold is very abnormal, and it must not be related to the weather.

It was close to twelve o'clock in the evening, and the surroundings were surprisingly quiet, not even a hint of wind, and there was a hairy moon hanging in the sky, but I could barely see what was going on around me.

Long Chuan plucked a few grasses from the ground and looked at them carefully in front of him for a while, but his brows became more and more tight.

"What's going on?" Tang Ning hurriedly asked.

Long Chuan frowned, looked at the few grasses that didn't look like anything special, and didn't speak, and after a while, he threw those grasses on the ground, exhaled and said, "The situation is a bit complicated, but I can't manage so much now, act according to the plan!" ”

Then I saw him in the grass, and after walking around with a particularly strange pace, he pointed in four directions to the surrounding woods: "Yang Feng is responsible for leaving the position, Tang Ning is responsible for the position, and An Ran is in charge of the Kun position." ”

After finishing speaking, he took another deep breath, "The death position is left to me." ”

Tang Ning and the others on the side heard this, their brows tightened, although I don't understand these things, but it is not difficult to understand from the literal meaning, the "dead position" that Long Chuan is responsible for must be the most dangerous position.

"Did you bring anything?" Long Chuan looked at Brother Neku and asked.

Brother Neku nodded, took out a crockpot from his backpack, and when he opened it, it turned out to be a huge toad, with blood-red eyes and small bumps raised on his body, which looked particularly infiltrating.

"Come here."

Panty Brother shouted at me, and then without saying anything, grabbed one of my palms and poked my middle finger with a needle, and I asked him what he was doing.

Then Brother Neku did something particularly disgusting, he pinched the big toad's mouth open, and said to me, "Put your finger in it and let it suck your blood." ”

"Huh?"

I was a little confused, looking at the big toad's mouth and seeping strangely, but I couldn't ask too much at this time, so I forced my nausea and stuffed it anyway.

The toad seemed to have tasted something delicious, and as soon as he took my fingers in his mouth, he began to puff out his cheeks and suck hard.

After about a minute, the toad's skin gradually turned from dark brown to blood red, and it looked even more penetrating.

Neku asked me to pull out my fingers, and then used a knife to cut off the toad's left front and back feet.

After placing it on the ground, the toad could only struggle to walk in circles, and at the same time, Long Chuan also lit a yellow charm on the side, chanting a string of jumbled spells in his mouth.

At the same time as the spell was burned, the toad also happened to draw a circle the size of a basketball court on the ground, and then its stomach flipped and it stopped moving.

At this time, the environment, which was particularly quiet just now, suddenly blew a hint of yin wind, and the faces of several people became more and more heavy.

Long Chuan looked at me with a serious face and explained something to me, "You sit in this circle later, no matter what happens, you must not leave the circle for half a step." ”

After finishing speaking, he asked Tang Ning to light an oil lamp in the circle, "Remember, you are not allowed to make a sound until the flame turns green, no matter who speaks to you, you must not agree, and when the flame turns green, that is, when the thing that pretends to be you appears, you can speak at this time, no matter what you say, you must find a way to drag him." ”

"In this process, you must always pay attention to the color of the flame, if the flame turns red, and several of us have not yet appeared, you can ask him three questions, first, why did the wordless stone tablet appear in advance, second, why did the heavenly corpse be resurrected in advance, and third, after taking the house, why still can't fully recover Yangshou."

As he was talking, the yin wind next to him suddenly became more and more intense, and the cold breath could not be described at all, and the cold that froze into the bone marrow made my hairs stand on end.

Long Chuan's face froze, "Separate actions!" ”

Then he turned his head and explained to me, "Remember, that thing will appear in any form, what you see may not be real, the only thing that determines its identity is the color of the flame, except for green, whatever you see, it is all fake, and you must not speak!" ”

After saying that, the few of them split up and ran in the direction they had just predetermined, leaving me alone in the middle of the circle, the wind was howling, the trees around me were rattling, and I could vaguely hear bursts of laughter, which made my scalp tingle.

In less than two minutes, I heard a fierce fight from all directions, and I didn't have to guess to know that Longchuan and they had already fought with those things.

After a while, there was a sudden burst of loud laughter all around, and then a tidal wave of footsteps rushed towards me, and it did not stop until it was next to the circle.

Although I didn't see any of them, I knew that I was surrounded by countless "people" who were standing in the circle staring at me.

Fortunately, I had been through a lot of things before, and I was able to keep myself calm at this time, fine beads of sweat kept pouring out of my forehead, and my eyes were fixed on the oil lamp next to me.

There was a lot of noise around, the sound of a woman talking, the cry of a baby, and the sigh of an old woman.

And the emptiness around is incompatible with this "liveliness", and this feeling can no longer be described as fearful.

Time seemed to pass very slowly, and I don't know how long it took, when I suddenly saw a figure running from the bushes in front of me.

He also shouted my name: "Zhang Zhanhao! ”

I looked at it, and the person running towards me turned out to be myself, with the same body and appearance as me, and even more incredible, even the clothes I was wearing were exactly the same as the ones I was wearing, like another copy of me.

"Didn't I tell you not to believe anything!"

He stared at a pair of eyes, as if he was very angry, "You were sold and you helped others count the money, do you know what those four people are doing now?" They're sacrificing your life! ”

His tone was very anxious, and he didn't wait for me to react, and continued to shoot, "Do you still believe in them?" Have you forgotten about Baihuai Village? If I hadn't shown up in time, you'd be dead by now! ”

This sentence made my heart chuckle, at first I was mentally prepared, Long Chuan said that I couldn't talk to anyone until the oil lamp turned green.

At this time, the flame of the oil lamp was still pale yellow, so I ignored him from the beginning.

But now when I hear him say this, I muttered in my heart, he was right, Longchuan They lied to me once, will they also lie to me this time?

"Think about it, in so many things, every time you are in the most danger, who saved you? Is it them? They lied to you, and I saved you, whose words do you think you should believe? ”

After listening to him say this, my heart was even more shaken, what he said was reasonable, who should I believe, I am very hesitant now.

And just then, I suddenly heard a whooshing sound from the side, like something flying towards me, and then nailed in front of me with a thud.

At the same time, the "lively" voices around disappeared in an instant, and the "me" who was talking to me just now disappeared.

And I gasped at this time, and my brain instantly sobered up, just now I followed the devil, and I almost believed what "I" said.

Now that I think about it, those words sound reasonable, but they are full of loopholes, and I must have been confused by something just now.

When I looked down, I was surprised to find that the thing nailed in front of me was actually the black dagger that I pulled out of the cave in Baihuai Village last time!

I remember that when I was entangled with the golden python, this dagger was lost, but why did it appear in front of me at this time?

By this time, the wind had cleared, and the silence had returned, as if nothing had happened.

The sounds of fighting around me also disappeared, and I became nervous in my heart, secretly worried that something would happen to Enron and them.

It's been about ten minutes like this, and several times I wanted to get up and take a look, but when I remembered Long Chuan's thousands of instructions, I still gritted my teeth and held back, and I felt that even if something happened to them, I wouldn't be able to do anything in the past.

Since I can't help, the most important thing to do is not to add to the chaos, and all I can do at this time is to stare at the flame of the oil lamp.

Rustle –

At this time, I suddenly heard movement on the grass in front of me, and when I looked up, I was surprised to find two footprints in the grass, and these two footprints were moving slowly towards me one after the other, as if an invisible person was walking on them.

And at this time, I also saw the flame of the oil lamp turn a faint green!

Could this pair of footprints walking towards me be the "me"?
