I don't know when the moonlight darkened, but the three figures in front of me became clearer and clearer.

Now I can finally see clearly, these three backs are exactly the same, each of them has short black hair, the two muscles on the back of the neck are unusually thick, the shoulders are not particularly wide, but they look thick, on their necks, there is a mole, the T-shirt on the body is a little open, and there is a small strand of thread on the shoulder, which is swinging quickly with the cold winter wind.

I reached out and touched my neck, and at the same time glanced sideways and glanced over my left shoulder.

On my neck, too, there was a mole the size of a sesame seed, and on my shoulder, there was a thread swaying in the wind.

The three people in front of me are all me!

When I realized this, I could even feel that the aura on their bodies was exactly the same as mine, except that on their left wrists, there was a red yang line missing.

The back is the blind spot of human vision, I don't know how many people have been able to observe their backs up close, it is not a selfie of the back, nor is it a reflection in the double mirror, but a living self.

Many people use "thick" and "slender" to describe other people's backs, but when facing their own backs, I don't know how to describe it, but I just feel a chill in my heart.

Almost uncontrollably, I began to retreat slowly, and Li Huaishan was pulled by me, and I could only follow suit.

No matter how far I retreated, the three figures stood not far away, their soles not moving, but slowly following up.

Until he yelled at me, "It's almost at the door." I stopped suddenly, and when I looked back, I found that the threshold of the old mansion was almost pressed on my heels, and the moment I turned around, the three figures appeared outside the door out of thin air, still keeping a distance of about two meters from me.

I deflected my gaze again, and they followed, appearing directly in front of me in the blink of an eye.

Wu Lin said that no matter what happens, I can't leave this place, but now I have an impatient urge in my heart, eager to cross the threshold in the next moment and escape from this small mountain village that is full of strangeness.

Fortunately, I finally held back, pulled Li Huaishan back to the stone pier, and then let go of him, buried my head in my chest, and closed my eyes tightly.

Li Huaishan couldn't see those three shadows, which meant that they were just illusions in my heart, but I felt that they were extremely real, just like the black shadow blocking the moon, which seemed illusory, but as long as I stretched out my hand, I could touch them.

But I didn't dare touch them.

Closing my eyes did give me a moment of peace, but soon, my vision in the darkness changed.

First, there was a bright white light in the field of vision, and then a faint golden yellow gradually emerged in the light, which slowly dimmed after a brief period of extreme brightness, and finally became a little pinkish, forming sand dunes towering under the scorching sun.

This is the desert I dream of every day, at this time I seem to be standing on the top of a sand dune, the cold in winter is gone, the desert is hot and dry, blowing in the face, quickly drying the sweat on my face, the salt in the sweat clogs the pores, it feels like a thin layer of dry glue on the face, making the skin tight.

I stood still, letting the heat scorch my body, but I couldn't step out.

At this time, the wind suddenly changed, just now it was head-on, but now it was pressing on my scalp, I used all my strength to look back, only to find that on the opposite sand dune, the three figures appeared again.

In the scorching sun, they looked like three narrow silhouettes, and I saw one of them begin to turn slowly, its body writhing little by little in the heat until it turned its whole face towards me.

It was too far away for me to make out what it looked like, but I could see something strange about the shadow under his feet, which was rapidly elongating along the soles of his feet, faster and faster, as if someone had drawn a long black line on the sand dunes, and was speeding towards me.

I don't know when my body froze completely, I could feel the great danger in the ever-expanding shadow, but I couldn't avoid it, I could only watch it get closer and closer to me.

As the shadow climbed the hillside beneath my feet and was about to come to my feet, a loud bang erupted in the scorching sky.

Bang –

The sound was like thunder, like the sound of a plastic film being broken by a punch, and I rolled my eyes and looked as best I could over my head, and saw a palm pierce the heavens and press down on me with an immeasurable heaviness.

I suddenly had a thrill, my head seemed to have been torn open by someone, and the huge pain made me can't help but scold my mother.

Immediately after, the sand dunes and the scorching sun disappeared from the eyes, replaced by extreme darkness.

Only then did I remember that I was sitting on the stone pier of the old mansion just now, and the sand dunes and the scorching sun were just a dream.

"If not, wake up!"

Wu Lin's shout sounded in my ears, and I felt that my shoulders were being shaken constantly, so I opened my eyes and saw Li Huaishan and Wu Lin standing beside me on the left and right, my vision was a little blurry, and I could vaguely see that Li Huaishan's face was full of anxiety now, Wu Lin was still as cold as ever, but his brows were wrinkled together.

The touch that the dream gave me is now brought back to reality, and I still feel like my face is covered with glue, so tight that it can't be done, my lips are chapped, and I can almost smoke coming out of my throat.

Wu Lin quickly took out a water bottle from my backpack, and I felt as if he deliberately looked at the bottle two more times before unscrewing the cap and handing me the water.

Because I was so thirsty, I put the bottle to my mouth without even looking at it, and smothered the water into my throat, and then I realized that something was wrong, this bottle was not mineral water at all, and there was a smell of kerosene in those liquids, and when it went down my throat into my esophagus, it also made people feel slimy, just like honey.

As soon as this thing entered the mouth, my vision became completely clear, and I saw Li Huaishan staring at me with wide eyes, and Wu Lin put one hand on his throat to prevent him from speaking.

I immediately reacted that what Wu Lin asked me to drink just now was the black water I found in the secret room.

Wu Lin came up in a flash, snatched the bottle from my hand, poured the remaining little black water into his mouth, and then asked me in a quick voice, "Where are they?" ”

It took me a moment to react before I realized that the "they" in Wu Lin's mouth were referring to the three figures that had appeared before.

Before I could speak, Wu Lin dodged away for a distance, and looked in the direction where my gaze was focused, and as soon as he let me do so, I realized that the three figures were standing behind Wu Lin just now.

Wu Lin asked me, "How far away from you?" ”

"About two meters."

Wu Lin visually checked where I was, and then took out a talisman only half the size of a palm from his pocket, it was a few years old, and the fragrance sprinkled on it should have come from the Tang Dynasty.

With a flick of his wrist, he threw the talisman exactly two meters away, landing right on the heels of one of the figures.

Then Wu Lin asked me again: "Where did the tooth card go?" ”

I said, "Very close to one of the figures, just under his heels." ”

Wu Lin nodded, quickly took out the dagger, and made a deep cut in his pulse, and blood suddenly gushed out along the wound.

The blood was like particles of asphalt, and when it landed, it did not seep into the soil, but took on a complete hemisphere, and rolled along the ground towards the talisman two meters away.

Wu Lin stared at the beads of blood rolling on the ground, his brows furrowed tightly.

When the blood touched the talisman, it was like clear water touching the surface of the sea, and it was immediately sucked in, and the originally smooth and white talisman also showed a faint dark red.

Until all the blood was absorbed by the talisman, a whirlwind suddenly rose in the sky above the old village, stirring up the dust on the ground, forming a small vortex with a diameter of about two meters, and the three figures also seemed to be scattered, and on his body, layers of tiny particles floated up, like dust that were quickly sucked away by the wind.

Particles were constantly sucked away, and the three figures continued to blur and fade, and finally disappeared completely.

And after they disappeared, the darkness under the night was diluted and diluted like ink melted into water.

After about two minutes, the night had completely disappeared, and the courtyard of the house had become very bright, and the sun shone down from the top of the sky, casting a short shadow at the foot of Wu Lin and Li Huai Mountain.

At the same time, this sunlight also dispelled the last trace of fear in my heart, and I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

It's finally easy.

But I still couldn't tell whether the sun in the sky was real or illusory, so I asked Wu Lin tentatively: "It's already noon?" ”

The person who spoke first was Li Huaishan: "You have been in a coma for a long time from last night to now, fortunately Wu Lin came in time, I thought you would never wake up again!" ”

That dream last night often lasted so long.

Wu Lin quickly stepped forward and picked up the talisman on the ground, and the environment lit up, and I saw clearly that it should be a domino made of ivory.

"Where did you get the blackwater?" Wu Lin put away the talisman and asked me as he pointed to the empty bottle on the ground.

I pointed in the direction of the coal pool: "There is a pool in the secret room, where all this black water came from, but now the pool is dry. ”

I also wanted to ask what those black waters were, but before I could ask, Wu Lin spoke: "This kind of water comes from the leylines of the fourfold space, and it originally didn't belong to this world, but it is very beneficial for survivors like us. ”

After saying this, what followed was a long cold scene, and it could be seen that Wu Lin seemed to have something else to say, but he opened his mouth several times, but he didn't spit out anything, Li Huaishan and I just looked at him silently, waiting for him to say the rest of the words.

I don't know how long it took for Wu Lin to summon up great courage, and said to me with a solemn face: "If not, your current situation is no different from mine. ”
