Chapter 178: The Bloody Handprint on the Back (One Update)
I was thinking about the High Priest when a hand suddenly appeared on my shoulder, making me tremble and almost jump.
When I looked back and saw that it was Professor Liang, I couldn't help but complain: "Professor, can you shout next time, people are really scary." ”
"I've called you several times, but you didn't respond, I thought you were filming you like last time." Professor Leung's explanation made me a little embarrassed, because it may have been that I thought things were too distracted.
Professor Liang waved his hand, stopped my apology, and lowered his voice: "I came to you to ask something, about the fall of the boulder at the mouth of the valley, did you still hide any information?" ”
My heart sank: "Professor, did you find something?" ”
"No, I didn't find anything. I just think this thing is too strange, how can we just come in and the stone falls, it doesn't feel like a natural disaster, more like man-made. Ji Zang, you tell me the truth, did we get tricked? ”
I let out a long sigh. Said: "Professor, I won't lie to you, we did get tricked, but I promise you that I will try my best to protect you, I have fought with each other." They are no match for me at all, so don't worry. ”
I was thinking about the situation when I fought with the ghost children in the cave, in front of my demon god's left hand, they were as fragile as pieces of paper, and I still had some confidence and confidence in fighting them.
"Ji Zang, I'm an old bone, it doesn't matter if I'm dead, but my students are still young and have a great future, you have to promise me that you will definitely take them all out."
Professor Liang stared at me with burning eyes, which made me feel a heavy sense of responsibility while being moved.
"Professor, I promise, I will do my best." I said solemnly.
"Okay, it's not too early, let's rest early."
"Go and rest, I'm going to keep vigil tonight." I'm worried that the High Priest will come to attack tonight.
"Okay, thank you for your hard work."
The valley was very quiet, the cries of night owls in the distant woods and the low chirping of insects in the grass made the night seem more peaceful and distant, and the moon was dark tonight when there was moonlight, and the clouds covered the moon tightly.
I sat in front of the campfire, feeling the silence of the night, but my heart could not be at peace, and now that the valley had become a terrible maw in my eyes, waiting to devour the lives of those of us, how could I calm down.
Moreover, the closer my left hand was to its destination, the stronger the throbbing sensation became, as if something was attracting it, what was it that was attracting my left hand of the demon god?
Is it the corpse demon lying in a coffin and healing its wounds, or something else?
The high priest wants to let more demon god bodies unseal, maybe there is another demon god's body to suppress it, and the other party tricked me to come over, probably to unseal the next demon god body.
If so, how do I choose? Continue to accept the demon god's body, accept his power, or fight desperately?
The high priest is the evil party, and I was asked to accept the power of the demon god because I wanted the demon god to borrow my body to resurrect, but my grandmother and mother also asked me to accept the power of the demon god, would it be too risky to do so?
In the midst of my thoughts, I felt a little sleepy. Unconsciously, my eyes were closed, and I was suddenly startled in my heart, and I hurriedly opened my eyes, but as soon as I opened my eyes, the sky was suddenly bright, and the blink of an eye in my sense for a second had actually passed the night.
What's going on? Ever since I went to college, I haven't had such a good quality of sleep, it's not like I'm really asleep, it's more like I've been tricked.
I looked at the extinguished bonfire, got up and moved my hands and feet, which were numb from the cold of the night, and walked around in front of a few tents, and only then did I breathe a long sigh of relief.
I volunteered to keep vigil, and I also promised Professor Liang, if I fell asleep at the first vigil and someone died, then how would I explain to Professor Liang?
The bonfire went out, I lit the fire again, and sat outside and slept all night, it was really freezing my whole body, but fortunately it was not yet late autumn, otherwise I would have been frozen and sick this night.
The campfire is rekindled. I first took a jug of water, hung it on it, and while making a campfire, I wondered: How did I sleep all night with my eyes closed? Was it because I was too tired, or was it the high priest's hands and feet? If so, what is his purpose?
After all, nothing happened that night. It's not going to be a toss-up, it's just to make me feel what it's like to have a deep sleep again, right?
In a moment of thought, my body slowly warmed up under the effect of the campfire, and the kettle on the bonfire also boiled, and the sharp whistle of the kettle spout sounded. I quickly took the kettle off the shelf and made myself a cup of hot tea.
Hearing the whistle, everyone woke up from their sleep, got out of their tents, and got up to brush their teeth and wash up while greeting me. Because I'm facing everybody. So no one saw my back.
Professor Liang also got out of the tent, stretched his waist, and said to me, "Ji Zang, you shouldn't have really stayed all night, right?" Do you want to get some sleep? ”
"It's okay, it's okay, I'm in good shape." I wasn't embarrassed to say I took a nap. The night passed.
"I really envy you young people, you are in good health, you are energetic, you can't even stay up all night, an old bone like me, staying up all night is almost like a serious illness." Professor Leung's words were full of envy. Then he handed over a cup: "Pour me half a cup of hot water, I brush my teeth, I'm old, I can't stand brushing my teeth with cold water." ”
I hurriedly took the cup, and when I turned around and lifted the kettle to pour hot water for Professor Liang, I only heard a girl's scream behind me.
I turned around. Seeing the only girl pointing at me with one hand and covering her mouth with the other, with a shocked expression, even Professor Liang was shocked, and my heart suddenly tightened: "What's wrong?" ”
"Your back, your back ......" The girl was clearly frightened. It's a little hard enough to speak.
I suddenly felt bad, put the kettle and water cup in my hand on the stone, took off the jacket I was wearing with my backhand, and took it to look at it, and a layer of cold sweat suddenly broke out on my back.
On the back of my blue jacket were dense bloody handprints. It looks like there are at least thirty or forty of them, and these are the palm prints of those ghost boys, and I will never admit it wrong.
What's the situation? This was last night, after I fell asleep, and the high priest manipulated the ghost boy to press it on my back?
Surely yes, except for those ghost boys, it is impossible for human hands to press such strange paw prints.
In the middle of the night, when the moon was dark and the wind was high, I sat down in front of the campfire and fell asleep, and the high priest controlled a group of ghost children to come behind me and press bloody handprints on my back one by one. Then quietly left.
When the ghost boy pressed his handprint, the high priest probably stood beside me, looking at me condescendingly, and there was probably a strange smile on his mouth behind the grimace mask, like a hunter looking at his prey.
Thinking about this picture, I feel a chill in my neck. Fortunately, the high priest did not have any murderous intent on me, and if he really had the intention to kill me, those ghost boys could directly screw my head off while I was asleep.
It's just that since the high priest is not ready to touch me, why does he leave a bloody handprint on my body?
It's a prank. Or a demonstration? It was obviously impossible to play a prank, the high priest would not do such a boring thing, if it was a demonstration, it was somewhat possible, but it was not very likely, because he did not have to do it at all.
If he wanted to kill Professor Liang and them. Letting the ghost boy sneak into the tent last night was enough to kill everyone, and as for killing me, the high priest would never have that thought, and he still counted on me as the body of the demon god to resurrect the demon god, of course it was impossible to kill me.
In this case, there is no need for demonstrations, because for him we are lambs to the slaughter in the sheepfold, and will the lion deliberately show off his might in front of the lamb?
So what did he want to do when he made such a move?
Just when I looked at the bloody handprints on the jacket with a confused expression, finally a student couldn't help it, and said angrily: "Ji Zang, you said that there is no danger in the valley, and you also said that you are very powerful, so how did these bloody handprints on the back of your clothes come from?" You probably fell asleep at the vigil last night, and people didn't feel it after so many handprints on their backs, right? ”
This......
In the face of such a question, I really can't explain it. I was indeed asleep, and the bloody handprints on my back could not be faked, even if I said that I was only dawning in the blink of an eye, it would make them distrust me even more, so it would be better not to say it.
Professor Liang is still working hard to stabilize the morale of the army and play a round for me. scolded the student and said, "Liang Shuang, how can you say that?!" The situation is still unclear......"
"Professor, I don't think what Liang Shuang said is wrong at all, we are just being trapped, he claims to be an expert in this area, saying that he can protect us, but in fact? They almost played him to death. ”
"Yes, we can't listen to him anymore, he can't even protect himself, how can he protect us? I don't think we should go to that cave anymore, we should wait here for rescue, since you have reported, teacher, if we don't go back on time for a while, the rescue team will definitely be sent to find us. The boy named Liang Shuang continued.
After listening to their words, a thought suddenly flashed through my mind: "I understand! I understand why the High Priest did this! ”
