Chapter 42: The Soul Contract (18)

Two anxious voices mingled together, making it almost impossible for anyone else to hear the content. Fortunately, Bai Wuchang is not a mortal, but he can hear it clearly. It's just that he probably didn't expect his words to cause such a big reaction from us, so he was stunned.

"Hey, hey! You two delicate little girls are not interested in rouge gouache and beautiful clothes, but you are interested in this disgusting and ugly poisonous worm...... It's weird! Ha ha! Bai Wuchang's triangular eyes glanced to the side very quickly, and then laughed strangely.

"Hey, don't take the conversation away! First of all, how did worms fly out of his throat? I vaguely felt in my heart that the mess that I couldn't sort out finally showed a thread, and my tone became more and more anxious.

"What else? The throat first split a big hole in itself, and then a swarm of poisonous insects flew out! Bai Wuchang rolled his triangular eyes at me.

"You mean to say that his throat is not being ...... Torn, but cracked by itself? I asked, ignoring the roll of his eyes.

"yes!" Bai Wuchang replied impatiently.

I subconsciously looked at Qi Zhen, but as soon as my gaze touched his gaze, I hurriedly avoided it. How so? I remembered the almost inaudible, mocking whisper of the cold wind blowing in my ears, didn't I...... Really didn't "it" do it?

"What kind of poisonous insects?" Chen Qiu interjected and asked.

"......" Bai Wuchang touched his eyebrows, as if he was remembering.

"It can't be the Five Poisons, right?" Chang Qing asked with a smile.

"Five poisons? Isn't it a green snake, a centipede, a scorpion, a gecko, or a toad! "Thinking of the dignity of these things, and then imagining the scene of them flying out of Fang Yuheng's throat, God! I felt as uncomfortable as hair.

"No, scorpions, snakes, centipedes, geckos, toads can't fly! …… What kind of poisonous insect is it? Chen Qiu frowned, his eyes were cold.

"It's a dragon!" Bai Wuchang suddenly blurted out.

"Huh?" I was at a loss.

"The snake is a pest in ancient legends, also known as a water crossbow. It is shaped like a turtle, has three legs, and has a crossbow in the shape of a crossbow in the shape of a crossbow. Chang Qing explained to me, "It is said that it lives in the southern water, and when it hears someone passing by on the shore or on the water, it shoots people or shoots people's shadows with sand grains in its mouth, and if it is shot, it will have sores, and if it is shot into the shadow, it will also get sick, so it is also called 'shooter' or 'projection'." There is also a saying that it is 'shooting a shadow with air, causing sores everywhere, and killing people if it is not cured'. ”

"Innuendo! No, if it's this kind of insect, it can kill people as long as it shoots far away at the figure, why do you have to run into Fang Yuheng's body and fly out again? I instinctively retorted.

Chen Qiu stared at Bai Wuchang without saying a word, his eyes were already full of ice, and a silver-white ball of light flickered on her shoulder, and a murderous aura quietly permeated.

"Hey, what a child, you won't answer me before you finish speaking! I'm talking about a kind of insect that looks like a snake, but it has wings, and it's more like a cockroach......" Bai Wuchang glanced at Chen Qiu and said nonchalantly.

"Cockroaches?" This time it's Changqing's turn to not understand.

"We in the south are called 曱 (yuē) 甴 (yóu), that is, cockroaches!" I add.

"How many?" Chen Qiu asked coldly.

"There must be twenty or thirty!" Bai Wuchang's triangular eyes parted to the sides, and he grinned at the crocodile. It's good that he doesn't laugh, but when he laughs, it's just "ugly than Zhong Kui, and he is better than a ghost", I shivered twice in a row, and quickly took my eyes off his face.

"Wow! There are so many ...... Cockroach? Chang Qing exclaimed in a low voice.

"Humph! I didn't say it's a cockroach! Bai Wuchang put away his smile and snorted coldly with disdain.

"What's that? Aren't you a ghost under the command of the Ten Palaces of Yama? Can't even recognize it? "I can't help but stink him.

When he heard this, he was furious, and his two long eyebrows flew up: "Dead ghost girl, you dare to mock me......"

"All said and done, what can you do? Ate me? ”

“……”

"That's it!" Chen Qiu held my hand, "Don't make any noise!" Let me take a closer look, perhaps...... You'll know what it is! ”

As she spoke, she walked to Fang Yuheng's corpse, flicked her fingers, and the light on her shoulder slowly rose, paused slightly in mid-air, and flew towards the big hole in the corpse's throat.

"Listen, it seems to be a sound!" Qi Zhen, who had never made a sound, suddenly pointed to a place in the darkness.

I listened intently, and sure enough, there was a slight "buzzing" sound approaching from a distance.

"Well, it seems to be the sound of insects flapping their wings." I nodded in the affirmative, and it sounded like the sound of a swarm of flies flying. Are there flies in this kind of ghost place?

Chang Qing's expression moved, and he asked Bai Wuchang: "Uncle Bai, this is an entrance to hell, and ordinary people can't enter it." So, can ordinary insects come and go at will? ”

"Naturally not!" Bai Wuchang replied without hesitation.

As he spoke, Chen Qiu's light had already sunk into Fang Yuheng's corpse through the big hole in his throat.

Chang Qing and I glanced at each other, and we both thought: It's not an ordinary insect, could it be a poisonous insect that flew away from Fang Yuheng's throat?

Qi Zhen casually glanced to the side and lowered his head. My heart suddenly cooled, his eyes seemed to be angry rather than angry, and what flowed in his eyes was a kind of vicissitudes that were both resolute and helpless. I looked away in a panic, I am afraid that it is time for the mountain rain to come, what will be behind the short silence?

“…… Belch! This is...... The poisonous insect is coming! Bai Wuchang's finger shouting drew our eyes to the darkness not far away.

Oh, my God! It's true...... A large group of "cockroaches" with dark red translucent wings flew in! It's not a good idea to say they're cockroaches, each of these bugs is at least twice as big as a cockroach. In addition to the tentacles on the front, they have eight legs, more like spiders. Not only that, but there are two red dots on their tentacles, and when they get closer, they can see a glittering red light, like a ghostly fire, which is extremely terrifying in a "buzzing" sound!

Before I could scream, Chen Qiu's voice came from the side: "God! It turned out to be ...... It! There was a sense of déjà vu in her voice, as if after a long journey, she finally saw the doomed end ahead. A little relieved, mixed with a little helplessness, and - deep bitterness!

"What's wrong? Who is it? I couldn't tell which "it" she was, him, her, or it?

Chen Qiu didn't answer me, her gaze rested on Fang Yuheng's corpse. I followed her line of sight and was horrified to see that the body was shrinking. The light cluster has dispersed into many points of light, flickering on the corpse's facial features and throat, although it is silent, but judging from the frequency of the flickering, it seems that the "corpse firefly" has been hindered by something, and it is very restless.

It turned out that what made Chen Qiu exclaim was not the terrible "cockroaches" that flew in, but the strangeness in the corpse!

"Chen Qiu, what did you find?" I asked urgently.

"I'm waiting...... Finally appeared! Chen Qiu smiled in a low voice, melancholy and bitter!

"Why don't you go quickly? Those poisonous insects are flying over! Qi Zhen interrupted our conversation, and couldn't help but say that as soon as he pulled me up, he was about to run to another place in the darkness.

There was a familiar, attachmentful warmth in the palm of my hand, but my heart felt like it had been slashed by a sharp blade, and I shook it off with all my might, breaking free from his hand.

"Why are you losing your temper again?" He was stunned for a moment, and then asked softly.

I'm speechless.

"Are these the bugs the ones that flew out of the corpses?" Evergreen asks about white impermanence.

“…… Be. ”

"That's not normal, what are we going to do?"

"Hey, hey! To be honest, I've never seen one before. Bai Wuchang raised his eyebrows a little embarrassed, "However, believe that I can still deal with it!" Hurry up and get out of here! ”

"Uncle Bai, do you want us to help?" Chang Qing has always been honest, although those strange insects are terrifying, but leaving others to fight alone and flee for their lives seems to be a little unwilling, even if the one left behind is not a mortal.

"Yes! Maybe there are so many of us that we can scare them off with a little magic trick! I chimed in.

"These ...... Things don't belong to the world, and we can't deal with them! Let's get out of here! Chen Qiu suddenly spoke, but he put forward the opposite opinion.

I looked into the air, and the bugs, though buzzing all the time toward us, were making no further moves, as if waiting for something.

I glanced at Qi Zhen with my peripheral vision, his expression was calm, his gaze was soft, and he looked straight at me. To go or not to go? Staying here is bound to be dangerous, but ...... After I went out, I might have to face a more cruel and embarrassing reality, and I hesitated.

At this moment, a gunshot suddenly rang out outside! Immediately afterward, there was a messy burst of gunfire, and the panic and sorrow pierced through the darkness and pierced our hearts!

"There's an accident out there!" Chang Qing and I shouted at the same time.

Before the cry fell, the "cockroaches" hanging in the air all pounced on them like crazy!

Suddenly, countless swarthy long legs, tentacles, and glittering red lights flew together with our terrifying screams in this human ghost!

What a nightmare!

I waved my hands desperately to stop the disgusting stuff from flying into my face. The fluffy and tingling touch of my hands made me feel terrible, the faint red light was dizzying, my eyes began to blur, everything in the darkness was twisting and stretching, like a mist ethereal. As my consciousness was about to dissipate, two equally familiar smiles lingered in my mind. The Buddha said: Everything in this world is a flower in the fog and a moon in the water; Everything is empty, and what all living beings see is actually the gathering of obsessions in their hearts, and they are all illusory and unreal! So, in this moment, who is real? Who is Phantom?

“…… What's wrong? Wake up! Someone in my ear called urgently, and then a touch of coldness turned sharply from my forehead and penetrated into my internal organs.

As soon as I was clear, I saw that Chen Qiu was holding me with one hand, and the other hand was on my forehead, and the silver light on his fingertips was faint, exuding a cold breath. And Chang Qing and Qi Zhen turned their backs to us and blocked in front side by side. Qi Zhen's hand was a golden short sword, and Chang Qing's hand was holding a stack of talismans. At their feet, there were already a lot of insect corpses, some of which were broken in two, some of which were broken into pieces, and some of which were even turned into small piles of black ash. The "cockroaches" were still in the air not far away, but they did not pounce again for the time being, perhaps because they had suffered a loss or wanted to wait for the right time.

"It's okay! …… These bugs are abominable! I looked at Qi Zhen's back and said absent-mindedly.

"Hard mouth and soft bones! Of the few of you, you're the most useless! Bai Wuchang, who was standing on the side with his hands behind his back, rolled his triangular eyes with a look of disdain.

I was about to sneer at me, but Chen Qiu shook his head at me: "It's dangerous here, let's find a way to get out!" ”

As she spoke, she quietly scribbled the word "go" in my palm. I was startled, and she made another "fast" and squeezed my hand hard.

"Well, Changqing, Qi Zhen...... The police uncles outside don't know what's going on, so I think we'll leave first! I don't know why Chen Qiu was in a hurry to leave, but I believed in her more than I believed in myself, so I hurriedly called them loudly.

Qi Zhen and Chang Qing turned around when they heard this, and the two of them looked equally concerned: "How are you?" Hurt? ”

"Nope. Hmph, how could a little 'cockroach' insect hurt Miss Ben's daughter's body? I made a villain look and replied with an arrogant smile, but my eyes avoided Qi Zhen intentionally or unintentionally.

"Good! …… Let's go! Chang Qing saw that I could still joke and thought that it would be okay, so he put his mind at ease. He turned his head to Bai Wuchang and said, "Uncle Bai, let's go first!" Be careful! ”

"Don't worry! I'm more than enough to deal with these little things! Bai Wuchang raised his eyebrows, glanced at me contemptuously, and said proudly.

Hum! This is a calculating, chick's belly! I snorted and rolled his eyes back.

"Chen Qiu and I used the 'Prison Breaking Talisman' to open the way, and you and Qi Zhen followed closely behind us!" After Chang Qing told me, he nodded to Chen Qiu. The two of them wiped their foreheads with their hands at the same time, and the cinnabar charm immediately stood out vividly, and the red light shot straight from the charm. The front was pitch black, but wherever the red light went, the darkness receded as if consciously, and a bluestone paved road was clearly presented in front of us.

When we finally saw a bright moon hanging in the sky, we also saw a terrible scene outside the alley.

Two police cars were parked at the entrance of the alley, their doors wide open, their lights still flashing, and eight or nine policemen on the ground. Some of them were half-kneeling on the ground, their eyes wide open, their hands clenched at their pistols; Some fell stiffly to the ground, their knuckles white, stuck to the ground, and their pistols flung beside them; Others lay on the ground with their hands stretched out on their waists, their backs facing the sky, and their faces were frozen in extreme fear.

We approached them as if we were sleepwalking, no blood, no visible wounds, no signs of a fierce fight. We can see that they notice the anomaly, shout questions, draw guns, shoot, and then fall one by one in a very short time...... They had no clue but fear. What is it that makes them look so frightened that they can't even take death with them?

The night is silent, the moonlight is like water, and the bright light is poured on the gravel road, reflecting the cold and distorted faces, which makes people feel extremely hideous.

Seeing us leave, the pride on Bai Wuchang's face disappeared completely. He glanced at the corpse on the ground, which had shrunk to the size of a toy doll, and then at the insects that were still vibrating their wings in mid-air, and sneered: "Hehe! The hosts are geniuses! You don't need a knife to kill...... Hey...... One bite of three! It's ridiculous that these little babies who can't do anything about themselves are still unknown when they die! Hey, hey, hey......"

Sen's cold laughter echoed in the thick darkness, provoking the remaining bugs to pounce on their only target.

Bai Wuchang sneered and stood in place without fear, and when they flew in front of him, he suddenly pulled his mouth with his hand, like pulling noodles, and his crocodile mouth was more than ten times larger in an instant. His head swayed from side to side, like a super-large, super-powerful vacuum cleaner, and he swallowed all these bugs in three or two clicks.

If someone sees this scene, I am afraid that they can't help but gause, so many fluffy, swarthy, disgusting insects, he swallowed them all into his stomach like a delicious snack, he is simply not human!

However, he was not human in the first place!

After swallowing the worm, he stretched out his two hands and pressed his mouth hard to the middle, returning to its original size, and then smiled strangely into the darkness, and his body jumped violently, turning into a round ball, and jumped into the air with ease.

If we see his true face at this time, we will be stunned! With long eyebrows, round eyes, a collapsed nose, and a big mouth, he, or rather, it's the same face we've seen a few times!

It jumped nimbly in mid-air a few times, and then plunged headlong into the darkness.
