Chapter 84: Strength

"Hey! Wood! What are you thinking! Zhang Xiaochai's pleasant voice pulled Li Xumu out of his troubled thoughts.

Li Xumu and Zhang Xiaochai walked on a wild road leading to the ** River in the southern district, and in the dark, the two sat side by side on a big stone covered with moss and rested.

Just now, Li Xumu once again deeply felt the strong breath of death, although he didn't see the countdown number, but in an instant, Zhao Yunuo's face suddenly appeared in his mind, it was an expressionless, white face. Just standing quietly in the illusory darkness, gradually disappearing.

This ominous feeling made Li Xumu very uneasy in his heart, because he once again recalled the illusion before he was invaded by another consciousness in his body.

In the illusion, Li Xumu really saw the countdown of the death numbers above Zhao Yunuo and Han Wei's heads. The man who claimed to be his twin brother and had died, Li Xushui.

He, let himself make a choice.

Both of them are coming to the end of their lives, and they can only save one person, and they ignored Li Xushui's warning and chose to save both of them.

The moment he made his choice, the countdown to death began above his head at the same time. Maybe this is the butterfly effect in Li Xushui and Leng Jue's mouth. Anything that interferes with death through the death figure will affect the course of events as they should. There is a high probability that there will be other, more serious consequences.

At this time, Li Xumu looked at the strange symbol on his calf, and his heart was heavy. In order to save the situation at the moment, I had to let Li Xushui's consciousness occupy my body, but I didn't expect that the kind of "sleepwalking" I had experienced made me join the psionic group now, I don't know why Li Xushui made this decision, or how much impact this decision will have on him in the future.

Li Xumu didn't know how much time he had left, he looked at the empty top of his head, and knew that the ability of the eye of life and death should sleep in his body with Li Xushui.

Now his heart is even more irritable, and he glanced at his phone, it is now half past eleven in the middle of the night, and Han Wei's first project will start immediately. And I don't know Zhao Yunuo's current safety, I only know the only clue, ** river crossing.

I don't know if this trip is meaningful, but it is just the only clue left by Li Xushui when he woke up in the dormitory.

Perhaps, this trip is the reason for the countdown to his death, what awaits him in front of him is unknown, and this unknown is different from the past, which is full of fear of death.

What a dangerous situation, Li Xumu is actually not afraid. It's just that I saw my death toll before, it's like a death sentence with advance notice, and I don't know when and how I will die, and the tension of this oppression is the most unbearable.

"Hey! What the hell are you thinking?! Zhang Xiaochai looked at Li Xumu, who was full of sorrow, and asked anxiously in his voice.

Li Xumu's eyes jumped out of the cascading thoughts and looked at Zhang Xiaochai, whose eyes were bright.

"Nothing." Regarding these complicated things, Li Xumu didn't want to say more, after all, he was probably a dying person, and it didn't make sense for Zhang Xiaochai to explain these things. Now it's just trying to keep as many innocent souls as possible from getting involved.

As for why Zhang Xiaochai came with him, Li Xumu was helpless, since he left the dormitory in the evening and went to the southern district to look for the ** river, he met Zhang Xiaochai in the dormitory area, when Zhang Xiaochai was asking what he was going to do at night, Li Xumu just said perfunctorily that he was going to drink with friends and left in a hurry.

But Zhang Xiaochai is not stupid at all, and he can guess from Li Xumu's worried face that something big must have happened. Because since he was in high school, Li Xumu has been a cheerful and optimistic sunny boy. When I get along with myself, I mostly have a smile on my face, and even if I encounter unhappy things, at least it is not like today, my eyes are blurred, and my face is bitter. Even when he walked by, he didn't look at himself squarely.

So he quietly followed Li Xumu and stepped on the last school bus to the South District, and when he realized that this bus was going to the South District, it confirmed that Li Xumu must have something to do to hide it, or how could he lie, and choose to rush to the South District when it was about to get dark?

Li Xumu was studying the map all the way, and he didn't notice that in the dim carriage, a pair of eyes were secretly watching him. It wasn't until I arrived and got off the bus that I found Zhang Xiaochai secretly following. But at that time, there was no school bus back to the dormitory.

Li Xumu sat on the damp stone and felt a chill in his buttocks. I stood up and patted it, I felt that it was almost time to rest, it was already late at night, and it was urgent to go to the ** river ferry, so I looked at the map of Yungang University.

Starting from the teaching building, I have been walking north for about half an hour, looking at the ** river that runs through the south and north districts on the map, and it is estimated that I have only walked half of the distance now.

Li Xumu was secretly glad that the map that Xue Mo had given him was now very useful, but he also had to sigh secretly about the person who drew this map.

What Li Xumu never figured out was why Xue Mo would help him so much? Is it just pinning on one's ability to see through death? There was a vague feeling that Xue Mo had hidden a lot of things, and during the time he had been in contact, he could feel that this person was very smart, a scheming and mercenary person. Maybe giving himself this map was a step in his plan?

Li Xumu didn't think much about it anymore, and continued to look at the route in the map, which showed that the path he was currently walking was about to pass through a wetland.

The reason why we know that the area in front of us is a wetland is because the word "wetland" is marked on the map, but herein lies the problem. Next to these two words, a skull is drawn.

Li Xumu didn't understand what the person who made this map had experienced in this place, what this skull represented, in short, it must have been ominous. Is it to warn those who look at this map not to come here?

If you change the route, you may have to delay more than 1 hour, and there is no guarantee that other routes will be safer than here, after all, this is the closest road to the ** river, which has been studied and determined on the way to come.

The only thing I can't worry about now is Zhang Xiaochai next to me. Li Xumu looked at Zhang Xiaochai with worried eyes. Because I don't know what danger will be ahead, I originally used my own skills, even if I encountered something, whether it was to escape or deal with it, it was easy to say, but now Zhang Xiaochai, who is coming with him, in case something happens....

"What? Let me go again?! Zhang Xiaochai saw Li Xumu's intentions, so he crossed his hands and pouted unhappily: "It's the middle of the night!" You let a girl go back on her own? You know you're worried about me!? Why am I following you!? You mysteriously run out of your own and don't say anything! Am I not worried about you?! ”

After Zhang Xiaochai said something without thinking, he realized something, so he lowered his head with a red face and stopped making a sound.

Li Xumu sighed, put away the map, turned his back to Zhang Xiaochai and looked at the darkness in front of him, and said resolutely: "Okay, since this is already the case, you have to follow me well for the next journey no matter what." I will do my best to protect you. ”

Zhang Xiaochai looked at Li Xumu's wide back, his heart was warm, and he inadvertently smiled secretly.

From the moment he stepped on the school bus to the South District, Zhang Xiaochai felt that something bad might happen next, and he followed all the way, although it was dark and terrifying along the way. But there was a power in her heart that she never feared.

Not only is he following Li Xumu to such a desolate and gloomy strange environment now, but in fact, he has been following him since the beginning, the moment he filled in Yungang University on the volunteer.

Zhang Xiaochai didn't regret it, when Li Xumu said that sentence just now, she felt that everything was worth it.

Sometimes, regardless of the result, it's very satisfying to quietly follow the person you like like it.

Li Xumu shone with a faint light, looked at the front with resolute eyes and said, "We are about to cross a wetland, I don't know what danger is hidden in it, then grab my arm." Don't get too far away from me. ”

"Okay..."Zhang Xiaochai blushed slightly, followed Li Xumu in a small step, and gently grabbed his arm with both hands.

"Well, then, I'll tell you what I'm here for. I got the news that Zhao Yunuo was in danger, and I went to a place called ** River Ferry to confirm this. ”

Li Xumu's firm tone made Zhang Xiaochai stand aside for a while.
