Chapter 16: The Shadow

Several people stared at the window, which only showed a thin slit, and their bodies were tense like a few strings about to break.

The windows were finally all opened, and a leg slowly stepped out of it, a scrawny leg that seemed to be easily broken.

"What...... What is it? The little servant couldn't help but cry out, but before he could finish his sentence, the window fell down with a "bang", and the leg disappeared into the darkness silently.

"Master Jiang, what is that?" The little official asked in a tremolo.

"Shh Jiang Xixi interrupted him a little roughly, for some reason, she always felt that at that moment, only silence could bring her a sense of security.

"Okay, don't say it, shut up......" The little servant was a little panicked, and unconsciously muttered these words in his mouth, however, just when he realized that he was still making a sound, it was already too late. A sticky object rubbed against his cheek, the front bulge digging between his lips.

Now, the little servant really didn't dare to speak, because he realized that the thing was about to move, as if it wanted to enter his mouth. So, he closed his lips tightly and barely let out a few muffled grunts from his nose, hoping to get the attention of the two people beside him.

But Jiang Xixi and Xu Ziming were now looking intently at the dark shadow in front of them, no one noticed his strange appearance, even if they heard the voice, they only thought that he was too nervous and shortness of breath, so they didn't think much about it.

Tears were about to fall, and he could feel the thing desperately priing open his teeth and shoving the bulging tip into his mouth.

A fishy breath poured into his mouth, making him dizzy and almost vomiting. He knew that he couldn't sit still any longer, so he simply moved to the side and hit Xu Ziming's body hard.

Xu Ziming was stunned, the tight string in his brain suddenly broke, and he saw a black thing like a giant tongue inserted into the mouth of the little servant, stretching his upper and lower jaws wide, making a "squeaking" sound, as if it was about to break.

Xu Ziming shouted angrily, and the long sword in his hand had already slashed down at the thing, but the giant tongue retracted suddenly, and the long sword smashed straight to the ground, bursting a few sparks, shaking his wrist painfully.

Jiang Xixi also rushed to hear the sound, and before she could ask Xu Ziming about the situation, she saw a "human" shaped thing sticking to the wall and walking towards the door, so she shouted and flew out.

Outside the courtyard, several officials were coming from a distance, and they obviously heard the movement too, so they hurried to answer. Several people ran to Jiang Xixi's side, and the official led by him hurriedly asked, "Master Jiang, what's wrong?" ”

Jiang Xixi looked back and forth a few times before asking in a low voice, "Did you see anything coming out of the courtyard?" ”

The official at the head shook his head, "No, my brothers have been lying in ambush all the time, and I haven't seen anyone coming out of this courtyard." ”

Jiang Xixi's heart froze, and she felt a little chiller: No, just now, she clearly saw a "person" rubbing against the wall and moving out of the courtyard door, he was very thin, and he didn't seem to be wearing clothes, the bones seemed to be covered with only a layer of skin, and the shape of the joints could be seen clearly.

But why did he disappear when he left the hospital? It's like blending into the dark night.

The moon finally emerged from the thick clouds, and the silver moonlight stretched everyone's shadows long. Jiang Xi wiped off a few drops of hot sweat on his forehead, and instructed the officials beside him, "Be careful, take the sword well, I'm afraid that thing hasn't left yet, and I can't tell when it will come out." Speaking of this, she paused slightly, and ordered the two officials closest to her, "You two go to the courtyard to see how Brother Xu and them are doing, by the way, go and see how the Jin family is doing, that thing came out of their room." ”

The two officials promised to run towards the courtyard, Jiang Xixi looked at the back of one of them, and his heart shook slightly, "Wait, don't leave ...... yet"

The two officials didn't know who she was talking about, but they stopped at the same time, turned their heads to look behind them, and said suspiciously, "Lord Jiang, what else do you have to order?" ”

Jiang Xixi didn't speak, she stared at the official on the right, her gaze slowly moved from him to the slender shadow at his feet: it was thin and long, and it didn't look different from the shadow of another person. But Jiang Xixi still stared at it, because she knew that she hadn't looked away, and when the two officials ran towards the courtyard, the shadow on the right was clearly a step slower, although it was only one step, although it immediately realized its mistake and hurriedly followed, but it still couldn't escape her sharp eyes.

"Step back, don't ask why, step back."

Jiang Xixi bit his lip and squeezed out a few words from between his teeth.

The two officials were stunned for a moment, then protected their long swords in front of their chests, and slowly retreated step by step.

This time, the shadow didn't move, it stayed where it was, and let the moonlight cover it, illuminating its shriveled body and the dry bones on it......

It's so thin that it's sticking to the ground, like a layer of skin, so it's no wonder no one has noticed it. But how did such a layer of skin eat Jin Yu so that only a bed of scraps remained?

Jiang Xixi quickly found the answer, the thing that was lying on the ground suddenly burst out and stood upright, its back to her, so she couldn't see what its face looked like, she could only see a black-red thing dripping with slime winding out, like a python, swimming into the mouth of the official who was already stunned in front.

"Bang."

There was a faint sound in front of me, as if something had been sucked in and couldn't get out.

Jiang Xixi and several other officials just wanted to run over to support, but they were stunned by the scene in front of them: the giant tongue lifted the body of the official high, and ugly bumps floated on the tongue, up and down, as if they were sucking something. With this movement, the official became thinner and thinner, as if all the bones and blood on his body were about to be sucked clean by it.

But during the whole process, he didn't make a sound, and only stared at Jiang Xixi with a pair of godless eyes, his eyes were like two black dots drawn by a brush, motionless.

Jiang Xixi finally broke free from the frightened, anger burned in her heart, she shouted, raised her sword and slashed at the giant tongue, but at this moment, the tongue suddenly swirled in mid-air, dragging the official into her mouth, accompanied by a thrilling chewing sound, the dust finally settled, and everything returned to calm.
