Chapter 36: Suspicion

"No...... He must be told....."

A red-haired young man, covered in bruises, was stumbling down an alleyway.

"He's definitely here too...... Gotta find him......"

The red-haired youth glanced back nervously, and in the darkness in the distance, it seemed as if something was approaching.

He gritted his teeth, and even though his legs were too heavy to move, he ran as hard as he could.

"This town...... Problematic!"

......

As the black liquid flowing out of the corners of the little girl's eyes was imprisoned by the bronze mirror, the "dead man" with a pale face outside also stiffened, and fell straight to the ground.

Zhang Huaishan gasped for breath, but he also fell to the ground and lost his strength, and it took a long time before he struggled to sit up, and walked over to take a look with courage.

This look stunned him.

Zheng Xie put away the bronze mirror, then carried the little girl to the mattress, and helped Zhang Huaishan's wife up, then walked to the door and opened the door, saying:

"Uncle Zhang, come in. ”

At the same time, the dim horizon also reflected the first rays of the early sun.

Zhang Huaishan nodded loudly, turned his head to look at the "old man" who fell to the ground, and then walked into the house with an axe.

"Uh-"

Zhang Huaishan looked at Zheng Xie who was busy before and after, and wanted to say something with his mouth open, but he didn't know how to speak for a while.

Zheng Xie seemed to know what he was going to ask:

"Let me guess, you saw a man who had been dead for a long time?"

Zhang Huaishan was sluggish:

"Right...... Andβ€”"

Zheng Xie continued:

"You have cut many times, and you found that the other party can't be killed at all, as if you are not afraid at all?"

Zhang Huaishan scratched his head, feeling that the young man in front of him seemed to be like a god:

"That's true, what's even more terrifyingβ€”"

"Just when you look at it, the man has turned into a piece of wood?"

Zheng Xie directly said what Zhang Huaishan saw.

At this moment, Zhang Huaishan was completely convinced.

"It's not surprising, it's just a trick, all you see is an illusion, it's just a log dangling in front of you. ”

Zheng Xie finally packed up his things and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"Your wife is frightened, just give her a few days to recuperate, and your daughter is basically fine, just rest for a few days. ”

Zheng Xie glanced at the sack on the ground on the side, stepped forward and took out half a white candle, and then clapped his hands contentedly.

Zhang Huaishan on the side pondered for a moment, and couldn't say any words that were more Wen Zou Zou, so he could only say sincerely:

"Little brother, you have worked so hard to cure my daughter, and I don't have anything to do....."

Zheng Xie smiled:

"Uncle Zhang, you think too much, I didn't save your daughter to repay anything, it's just the benevolence of the doctor. ”

Zhang Huaishan sighed, then took off his iron axe from behind him and handed it to Zheng Xie:

"Little brother, this axe has been with me for a long time, it's very good, it's very sharp. ”

Zheng Xie was stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help laughing:

"Didn't I say, Uncle Zhang, I'm a medical practitioner, what's the use of an axe?"

Zhang Huaishan shook his head:

"Take it...... It shouldn't stay here. ”

Hearing this, Zheng Xie suddenly realized that something was wrong, and his gaze at Zhang Huaishan was also solemn:

"Uncle Zhang...... What do you mean by that?"

Zhang Huaishan still had a simple smile, but his temperament became deeper at this time.

He sat slowly on the edge of the bed, gently caressing his daughter's forehead, his eyes full of warmth:

"If only I had what you do......"

A strange fluctuation emerged, but the room began to tremble slightly, and the tables and chairs in the room also kept shaking, which made Zheng Xie feel shocked.

Zheng Xie looked out of the house, and the stretching mountains also began to tremble, and even the early sun on the sky began to distort.

The whole world has collapsed.

When Zheng Xie's consciousness awoke from the confusion, he found himself lying on the corner of a street, next to a stray dog's kennel.

Zheng Xie touched his head, only to feel a headache, and couldn't help grinning:

"What's the situation, this is ......?"

A gray-haired yellow dog barked low at Zheng Xie, as if it was worried that the human in front of him would grab his own territory.

Zheng Xie glanced at the yellow dog next to him, and was a little speechless for a while.

There are not many people on the street, and occasionally passers-by see Zheng Xie who is lying on the side of the street, and they only think he is a beggar, and they don't pay attention after a few casual glances.

Zheng Xie froze his mind, carefully sensed his body, and found that it was still in the same situation as before, and couldn't help but sigh:

"Still lost......"

Although he didn't quite understand what was going on, Zheng Xie decided to understand the situation around him first, so he got up and wanted to go, but suddenly found two things that had been pressed under him all along.

"It'sβ€”"

Zheng Xie's eyes widened, and he felt more and more confused.

A half-lit white candle, a smooth-sharpened iron axe.

Zheng Xie carefully picked up the axe and the white candle, looked at it carefully, and muttered:

"What the hell is this?"

Suddenly, Zheng Xie remembered something in his heart, and quickly fumbled his pocket, and it turned out that he really found a dim bronze mirror, on which there was a faint flow of black substance, which was daunting.

At this moment, Zheng Xie's scalp was really numb.

"The scene of the collapse of heaven and earth before is clearly a symbol of the disappearance of the Lost Realm, but why am I still in the Lost Realm, and I have brought these things with me?"

Zheng Xie only felt that his heart was shrouded in fog, as if he could vaguely see some clues, but he was never able to touch the truth.

"Are these two separate lost realms, or are they connected to each other?"

Zheng Xie frowned, carefully studying the bronze mirror, white candle and iron axe.

What did Uncle Zhang mean by that...... Shouldn't you stay here......?"

Zheng Xie recalled the changes in Zhang Huaishan's last moments, and a flash of inspiration flashed in his heart, and a bold guess emerged:

"Could it be...... He knew he was just a wisp of revenant soul in the Lost Realm?!"

Thinking of Zhang Huaishan's last sentence, Zheng Xie was even more creepy.

"If only I had what you do......"

Gently repeating the words of the honest middle-aged man, a trace of realization crossed Zheng Xie's heart, and he couldn't help but show a solemn look:

"It's ...... Artificially created disorientation!"

Zhang Huaishan...... More than just a woodcutter!"

At this moment, a figure suddenly emerged from the shadows, grabbed Zheng Xie's body and rushed up, directly interrupting Zheng Xie's thoughts.

Zheng Xie, who was just about to resist, was also stunned after seeing the other party's red hair, although he didn't know what was happening, he still ran with him.

The person who suddenly appeared in front of him was clearly the red-haired young man from before!

"Don't ask, just run. ”

The red-haired youth looked embarrassed, his face covered in scars from wound healing, and he looked as if he had gone through quite a painful ordeal.

It wasn't until the two of them ran to a deserted street corner that the red-haired young man fell to his knees and gasped for breath.

Zheng Xie was also short of breath, and it took a long time to recover:

"What's going on? Run?"

The red-haired young man raised his head and showed a relieved look:

"I've finally found you...... I knew you were here......"

Zheng Xie glanced at the scars on the red-haired young man's body, and also showed a dignified look:

"What's the matter with you?"

The red-haired young man first glanced at the end of the street and confirmed that there was nothing before swallowing and saying:

"There's something in this town, although I don't know what...... That thing was so wicked, I was just a step too slow to get it back......"

Zheng Xie narrowed his eyes:

"Is this Lost Realm a town?"

The red-haired youth was stunned:

"Lost? What's that?"

Zheng Xie snorted:

"It's hard to explain to you for a while, so let's tell me what happened to you. ”

The red-haired youth nodded with some hesitation:

"Uh...... Seven days ago, I woke up outside this town for some reason, and I only knew that this town was called Qingshui Town, and I didn't know anything else. ”

Zheng Xie suddenly said:

"Have you gone out and walked through?"

The red-haired youth nodded:

"Yes, but you can't get out, as long as you exceed a certain distance, you will walk back inexplicably, which is very weird. ”

When Zheng Xie heard this, he was sure in his heart, and said to himself:

"Sure enough, it's just a lost place the size of a town. ”

The red-haired youth paused and continued:

"I thought it was just an ordinary illusion, but no matter how I tried to get out of it, I had to try to understand the town first, and take it one step at a time. ”

"However, I soon discovered that there was something spooky about this town. ”

Zheng Xie's expression gradually became serious:

"What's weird?"

The red-haired youth's expression looked quite tangled:

"Judging from the many traces I have stumbled up, there must have been quite a few people living here in this town in the past, but ...... None of the people in the town admit their existence. ”

Zheng Xie repeated:

"Don't admit that they exist?"

The red-haired young man said bitterly:

"It's hard to understand, right? I've asked many people in the town, and they refuse to admit that these people ever lived in the town, and they don't accept my reasonable assumptions about the traces, but instead have a set of arguments that seem to be fine, but are full of holes when you think about them. ”

"And it came to me when I started trying to prove that those people existed......"

Zheng Xie knew in his heart:

"That evil thing you are talking about?"

The red-haired young man still looked palpitating:

"Yes. It seemed to lurk in every corner of the town, and every time it approached, there was a thick darkness, and once I fled so slowly that I was almost enveloped in the darkness. ”

Speaking of this, the red-haired youth's eyes showed irrepressible fear:

"In the darkness...... It was as if something was tearing at my body and trying to drag me into it......"
