At night, the sky is full of stars, and the ground is lit up with yellow lights.

The neighborhood of the psychiatric hospital in the center of the city was quiet, with no light except for the dim streetlights.

On the 10th floor of the hospital, a dark shadow flashed at the door.

In a ward on the same floor, Xiaoyu seemed to be asleep lying on the bed, and the dark shadow outside the door looked around, slowly opened the door and walked in lightly.

Coming to the bed, the windows were not closed because of the higher floors.

The cold moonlight shone in through the window, and the black shadow came to Xiaoyu's bedside and slowly emerged from the darkness.

The person who came was Ye Yiqiao, who was going to use the rune paper to deal with Xiaoyu during the day, she looked at the sleeping teenager, and the corners of her mouth hooked a slight arc.

"I mean, is it funny for you to pretend to sleep like that?" Ye Yiqiao looked down at the young man and said with a playful smile, "Or ...... You've been in this teenager's body for a long time, and you're a little mentally weak, and you want to catch up on your sleep? ”

“……”

"It looks like if you don't do it, you won't be conscious." A ruthless light flashed in Ye Yiqiao's eyes, and a pale red spiritual power was swirling around his hands.

Ye Yiqiao slapped the young man on the bed with a palm......

"Zero, are you sure this works?"

In Fushi Village, the cold wind was bleak, and when he looked up, there was only darkness as far as he could see, Chu Heng was lying on the roof of the room where they were sleeping, and looked at Chen Ling, who was also lying on his stomach, uncertainly.

"Hmm. Do you remember the advice the old man gave us? I think there must be a reason why he said that, and they all disappeared at night, so there must be something wrong here at night! Chen Ling said softly, "You can rest first, and I'll call you if there is a situation." ”

“…… Well, if something happens you have to call me. Chu Heng said uneasily.

Chen Ling nodded.

It's always easy to get sleepy at night, and no matter how hard Chen Ling tries to stay awake, he can't resist the surging sleepiness.

In the middle of the night, Chen Ling was woken up by the cold wind, and when he opened his eyes in a daze, he saw people walking by outside.

"This is ......" Chen Ling looked down in disbelief, his face shocked.

The originally silent and empty road was now full of people, who seemed to be going to the outside of the village, and slowly moved forward one by one.

They were dressed in coarse cloth clothes, old and young, male and female, and they were supposed to be from the village.

It's just that what are they going to outside the village at such a late hour?

Chen Ling hurriedly woke up Chu Heng.

"Hmm! What happened? Chu Heng rubbed his eyes and sat up, but what he saw was Chen Ling's puzzled gaze.

Following Chen Ling's gaze towards the village, the next second, Chu Heng opened his mouth wide in shock, "This...... What's going on? ”

Without time to explain more to Chu Heng, Chen Ling climbed down the ladder that had been placed in advance, and cautiously followed behind the large army.

When the distance was closer, Chen Ling realized that those people had dull expressions and empty eyes, like an emotionless walking corpse.

The speed at which they walked was very slow, even if they didn't keep an eye on it, Chen Ling and Chu Heng didn't have to worry about losing it.

"Where are they going?" Chu Heng followed behind Chen Ling, looked at the group of people suspiciously, and asked in a low voice.

Chen Ling shook his head and decided to follow first.

The two followed them out of the village, all the way to the river and the old tree.

The night breeze blew, Chen Ling felt that his eyes were a little sour, just as he closed his eyes and opened them again, where was the shadow of those villagers in front of him?

Chen Ling stared around suspiciously for a long time, and asked suspiciously, "Heng, did you just see where those villagers went?" ”

“……”

There was no sound behind him, and Chen Ling inexplicably felt a chill down his spine, and he had a bad feeling in his heart.

"Heng?" Chen Ling screamed suspiciously, and then turned his head cautiously.

What caught his eye was not the imaginary emptiness, nor was it the way Chu Heng was bleeding and looking at him with a pale face. Chen Ling breathed a sigh of relief, his tense muscles softened, thinking that he was half frightened to death by Chu Heng's silence just now, he couldn't help but reproach a little, "Heng, why didn't you speak just now?" ”

"That...... Zero, there was a person hanging from that tree all the time, right? Chu Heng stretched out his hand and pointed behind Chen Ling tremblingly, his face extremely ugly.

Hearing Chu Heng say this, Chen Ling's heart trembled.

On the old tree, at some point, there was a woman in a red dress, because it was too dark, and his attention was always on the villagers and the river, so he never noticed the situation of the tree.

He remembered that when he came, he also saw the red dress on the tree for a moment, but he didn't see people, he subconsciously thought that he was dazzled, and he later saw an unknown object floating on the river, so he left that thing behind him, but he didn't expect that he was not dazzled at all.

That's right! Didn't he still see an unknown object in the river? When I came during the day, I didn't, and I didn't ...... that night.

Chen Ling's gaze turned to the surface of the river, and just as he had guessed, many black unidentified objects could be faintly seen floating on the surface of the river at this time, looking very terrifying.

"Heng, I'll go over and take a look, you wait for me here." Chen Ling turned his head and looked at Chu Heng seriously, forcibly pulling him back from his stunned.

Chu Heng looked at Chen Ling and frowned, "No, it's too dangerous, I think we'd better go back first." ”

"Those missing classmates have not been found yet, and they will be more dangerous if they delay for a minute longer, and the old man said that the time is almost up, and we don't know when it will arrive, so if there is a discovery, of course, the sooner you act, the better."

Although he was very flustered in his heart, Chen Ling knew that he could only rely on himself in Ye Yiqiao's absence, and the old man didn't know if he was one of those people, if so, then the rest of the people would be in danger.

After taking a few deep breaths to stabilize his heartbeat, Chen Ling looked at the river with a determined gaze.

"Heng, if I encounter danger, you must not rush out, run quickly, and you must not be caught by those people! Also, if I don't survive and you get out safely, please help me take care of my sister. ”

After explaining the last sentence, Chen Ling took a deep breath and quickly rushed to the river.

"Zero ......" Chu Heng looked at Chen Ling's back, anxious and helpless.
