Chapter 17 / The Choice of Life and Death
The breeze caressed her bright eyes, he thought of the floating corpse floating on the beach that day, remembered the bewitching young man on Quinoa Mountain, thought of Huo Jiangyi, what was the connection between them? Huo Jiangyi said that he was not a zombie, but she clearly saw his mutated eyes.
"Daddy!"
Yin Shixue woke up suddenly, how could she run out like this, that zombie was still at home, maybe Yi Han and Jack were in the same group as Huo Jiangyi, what if they were all zombies, father, father would definitely be in danger!
Thinking about it, she was very annoyed, she shouldn't have run out alone but guarded her father, she always felt that Ihan and Jack sometimes behaved a little weirdly.
That day, her father went out to run errands, and when she passed by her father's study, she vaguely heard movement inside, so she opened the door and went in, and actually saw Yi Han and Jack mysteriously in the room as if they were looking for something, the two didn't expect Yin Shixue to come in suddenly, and smiled awkwardly to hide their helplessness, Yin Shixue coldly asked them what they were doing in the study, Jack straightened his back, saying that he saw a big mouse coming in, Yi Han hurriedly smiled and agreed, but Yin Shixue knew that it was not so simple, It's terrible to think about it now, in case a few of them are ...... Yin Shixue didn't dare to imagine.
The sky was picking up the last light, and she was no longer fascinated by the scenery here, and turned around to leave.
But she suddenly found a faint light in the sea, she thought it was her own illusion at first, but when she looked at it, there was indeed a blue light flickering in the sea.
Yin Shixue curiously walked over to see what it was, but the sea suddenly rose and the light disappeared.
After a while, the tide faded, and the light became brighter and brighter, as if it was close at hand, Yin Shixue remembered the ring that the zombie boy gave her three days to find, could it be ......
didn't have time to think about it, she lifted her skirt and waded into the sea, but it was clear that the light was in front of her, but the further forward the water became, the deeper the water became, reaching out to fish but couldn't catch anything, accidentally a stuffed skirt fell into the water and wet a large piece, Yin Shixue was a little annoyed, but thinking about it, if it was really a ring, she had to get it.
Looks like you're going to have to get it wet.
Yin Shixue slowly dived into the water and groped, and sure enough, he really got the ring at the bottom of the sea.
The blue gem was set in a ring carved in the shape of a bat, and Yin Shixue held it tightly in her hand, and as she struggled to surface, a hand suddenly wrapped around her waist.
Yin Shixue's heart tightened, she thought it was the zombie boy from Quinoa Mountain who came to her again, and when she was carried out of the water, she opened her eyes and saw Huo Jiangyi.
"Yin Shixue, you won't kill yourself because you can't think about it."
Yin Shixue looked at him steadily, her inky black hair dripping with droplets of water from Huo Jiangyi's side face, and her eyes showed a faint smile.
It turns out that he thought he was going to commit suicide so he came to save himself, and if he wasn't as bad as he imagined, was it really a misunderstanding of him? Or is everything designed, and his hypocrisy actually has other intentions!
Back home, Yi Han and Jack looked at the two people like chicken soup in surprise, Yin Shixue didn't say anything and hurriedly went upstairs to change clothes, she didn't want them to find the ring.
Looking at Yin Shixue's figure fading away, Huo Jiangyi showed a vague smile!
The next day, Huo Jiangyi, Yi Han and Jack went up to Quinoa Mountain, Yin Shixue stood in front of the window on the top of the building, staring at Quinoa Mountain not far away, in the early autumn morning, halfway up the mountain surrounded by a layer of milky white fog, like a fairyland.
Yin Shixue held the ring in her hand tightly, she thought about it all night last night, what to do with this ring, the ring doesn't look special, the sapphire in the night except for the occasional abnormal luster, Yin Shixue can't figure out what the reason is.
And Huo Jiangyi and they claim to be zombie hunters, do you want to tell them, but their behavior is too weird, will something happen if they hand it over before they know what this ring is for?
This ring shouldn't be an ordinary ring, it must be something very important to that zombie boy, maybe it will be useful in the future if you keep it first!
Huo Jiangyi didn't find anything in the cave, except for the dark surroundings and a few ordinary bats, there was nothing, he heard that Yin Shixue was captured by zombies before and escaped from this cave, could it be that there is another entrance here? But he couldn't find it, so he came back and asked Yin Shixue to show him the way.
It was Yin Shixue's nightmare to be caught that time, how could she step into this nightmare place again, Yin Shixue decisively refused! On the one hand, Yin Shixue hasn't figured out who Huo Jiangyi is, she is very afraid that once she makes a wrong decision, it will be difficult to recover, and no one dares to believe it easily.
At night, Yin Shixue took out the ring again in the room alone, tomorrow is the deadline, and the zombie will definitely come back to her at that time, or tonight, or tomorrow, she was a little scared in her heart, pinching the ring and not knowing what to do.
Do you want to tell Huo Jiangyi and Yi Han about this, they didn't explain how they escaped last time, and they didn't ask Yin Shixue carefully, for fear that Yin Shixue would be stimulated.
Originally, I didn't care about the ring, thinking that there would be no danger if I left here with my father, so I didn't have to help the zombie find any rings, and it was also a matter of rights and interests to promise him to find the ring, in order to save his life.
But thinking about this home after all, it was built by her father himself, and he has lived there for nearly 12 years, how can he just say that he can leave, his father is reluctant, and she herself is reluctant, and now that time is passing by minute by second, she must make a choice and tell Huo Jiangyi that maybe she can really destroy that zombie! Then you don't have to leave here.
Looking at the ring in her hand, the sapphire is extremely beautiful, exuding a demagogic light, looking at it, Yin Shixue suddenly felt a little dizzy, a little heavy, like being filled with lead, and even felt so laborious to breathe, what the hell is going on, she propped up the table and tried to stand up, but her eyes became blurry.
The sapphire emitted a trace of black smoke and climbed around Yin Shixue's body, his self-consciousness gradually withdrew, his eyes lost focus, and flashed with a bewitching ghostly light.
Hearing a noise outside, Yi Han got up from the bed vigilantly, walked out of the door with his coat, and was relieved to see Yin Shixue who was going downstairs, and said, "Shixue, it's you, you haven't slept so late." ”
Yin Shixue didn't respond, and went downstairs step by step, her body stiffened, as if there was no one around.
Yi Han looked at her back and felt strange, and shouted again, "Shi Xue? ”
Yin Shixue paused, turned back suddenly, there was no trace of blood on her cold face, and the blue light flashed under her eyebrows, Yi Han instantly seemed to be hit by a strong electric current, and she screamed uncomfortably.
Huo Jiangyi and Jack rushed over when they heard the sound, Jack helped up Yi Han, who was weak at the door, looking at Yin Shixue's strange appearance, Huo Jiangyi seemed to notice something, he "shh
Yin Shixue continued to go downstairs, and Huo Jiangyi followed behind her. Jack helped Ihan, who was gradually gaining his feet, and followed.
In the silent night, the birds have already returned to their nests, the insects are chirping and dreaming, the waning moon is like blood, and the moonlight outlines the outline of the branches like the devil's claws, stretching out to the endless and ethereal sky.
The direction of the Quinoa Mountain was always covered with uneven bushes and thorny brambles, and Ihan and Jack stumbled through the dark forest several times, each time without making a sound, but Yin Shixue could go around the stumps and go deeper into the jungle, as if possessed by a demon.
Probably hearing movement behind him, Yin Shixue suddenly looked back, and her eyes were cold and glowing like the eyes of a night cat in the dark.
The three of them hid behind the jungle, Yin Shixue retracted his gaze and continued to walk in the direction of Quinoa Mountain.
After a long time, when Yin Shixue came to his senses, he found that he had come to the familiar cave again, surrounded by cold stone walls, the rocks above his head dripping with water droplets, and the familiar sound of bats from far and near.
What happened just now, Yin Shixue couldn't remember why she arrived at this place inexplicably, a great panic rose in her heart, she turned around and wanted to escape, and suddenly a magnetic voice sounded behind her.
"It's coming so soon".
The voice echoed in the vast space, lonely and cold, revealing exhaustion and faint weakness!
Yin Shixue was so startled that he could hear his heartbeat, and when he looked back, he saw the young man sitting on a high stone seat, his black coat was inlaid with bright diamonds on his chest, noble and quiet, his face was a little pale, as if he was going to faint at any time, the black bat stayed on his shoulder, and his slender fingers moved, as if he had poured everything out.
Yin Shixue looked at him in astonishment, trying to remember everything just now, it was incredible, how he came here.
"Come here." He said.
"You...... What do you want? ”
This man is always terrifying and creepy.
The corners of the young man's mouth hooked up a weak smile, the smile had disappeared before he reached the bottom of his eyes, and his eyes became sharper and sharper.
"The Ring, give it to me." His voice was very small, but it echoed in this huge space, and every word was loud!
Yin Shixue clenched the ring in his hand.
"If you let me go, I'll give it to you, and besides, you must not hurt everyone here."
Although she was scared, she couldn't return the ring to him obediently, and maybe she didn't know how she would die after returning it.
The young man took a deep breath, as if he was suppressing the anger in his heart, Yin Shixue didn't know whether she was looking for death or death, her heart had already reached her throat, and she was ready to die at any time.
Sure enough, the boy didn't talk nonsense with her, the ring had been out of his body for too long, and he really couldn't wait for a moment now.
His eyes were already filled with an evil glow, like a sharp sword firmly locking Yin Shixue, with a sound of "brushing", accompanied by a force Yin Shixue was pushed in front of the young man, without any prelude, Yin Shixue was firmly controlled, unable to move, only saw a pale face that was constantly magnifying in front of him, and a pair of bottomless eyes.
She saw with her own eyes the two elongated fangs under his thin lips, and a hand without a little warmth grabbed her neck, he looked weak, but why did he still have so much strength to pinch her, she was about to suffocate.
