Chapter 35: Encirclement
The night was deep and cold, but I was excited.
Although the mother who was holding me tightly in my arms was as cold as a statue, the long-lost family affection was like a tide, completely submerging my heart that had been cold for a long time, and making me have the illusion that I still have a home and a loved family for the first time.
However, my mother soon collapsed in my arms, and even though I tried my best to hold her and prevent her from leaving me again, she still turned into smoke and disappeared before my eyes.
When the light flashed, the sensor light at the staircase turned on automatically.
I stared blankly at the flower in front of me, her body was covered in blood, like a manju sawa embroidered on her clothes, shocking. She held a crystal rod glowing with white light in her hand, and said to me with a pale face, "Yunya, something is very wrong here, let's leave quickly." ”
But I didn't seem to hear her words, I just looked down in a daze, looked at my empty hands, remembered my mother's reluctance when she turned into green smoke, and the tears on her face, suddenly tears flowed like a spring, pushed Huayan out hard, and shouted loudly, "Mom, don't go, Mom, I'm Yunya, I'm Xiaoya!" ”
In the silent courtyard, only there was a light behind me, and the other windows were all as dark as ink, obviously there was no power outage, but no one had lights on in their homes, which was indeed very strange.
Hua Yan saw that I was a little out of control, so she hurriedly ran home, stuffed my things into the suitcase, hurriedly ran out, grabbed my hand and said, "There seems to be a monster in the yard, it is so powerful, I can't see its appearance at all and it is injured like this, I can't stay any longer, let's go!" ”
I was almost numb and dragged out by her, the loud sound of the suitcase dragging on the concrete road filled this silent courtyard, outside the high fence, there was no light at all, there were all houses nearby, it was impossible for everyone to sleep, the only possibility was that the whole yard was shrouded in enchantment, people outside could not enter, and people inside could not get out!
When I came to this conclusion, Hua Yan really stopped, looked around blankly, and said with a miserable face, "We have been sealed, this courtyard has long been left alive, we have been deceived." ”
What the? I shuddered, let go of her hand and looked around.
Between the pitch black sky, six seven-story dormitory buildings stood quietly, like six dormant monsters, ready to pounce and bite at any moment.
We were standing in the yellowed lawn of the courtyard, with only bare branches left on a few old locust trees, and the autumn night was so cold that it hurt to scratch our faces.
"You mean, my dad deliberately tricked me into coming home in order to lure us in?" I sorted out my scattered thoughts, temporarily suppressed the pain of losing my mother again, and asked in a low voice.
"I don't know if your father knew it or not, but it's a fact that this courtyard is sealed by an enchantment. Actually, when we came in in the morning, I already felt that something was not right, the clouds in the sky were a little auraous, but I didn't think much of it, thinking that it was just because it was not too far from the crematorium. Hua Yan put down the suitcase in her hand, held the crystal rod in her hand with both hands, and explained to me in a low voice while looking around.
I remember that before getting out of the car, she did ask me about the location of the crematorium, and I didn't know what it meant, I just thought that these non-humans seemed to be very concerned about the special environment of the cemetery and crematorium, but I didn't think much of it.
Now that I think about it, why did my father, who had been absent for many years, suddenly call me home for the Chinese New Year, and why did I see my mother, who had been dead for many years, again? There is no way to explain this, and the only answer is that I was designed again and fell into someone else's trap again!
And this time it's not like Nancheng, Ling Kai won't suddenly appear, and I don't have any treasures that can protect me, except for Hua Yan, I have nothing to rely on!
After coming to this conclusion, I gritted my teeth, put on my coat, and felt a little less cold before asking Hua Yan, "Is there any way you can break the seal?" ”
She closed her eyes, her breathing gradually deepened, as if sensing the location or power of the seal, and only after a while did she shake her head and say, "The power of this seal is too strong, I can't break through it." ”
I frowned, thinking to myself that if someone had designed all this, how could they allow us to escape so easily? Didn't he try his best to trick me back to my hometown, just to get me to avoid Ling Kai so that he wouldn't have a chance to help me. It's just a pity that Huayan caused her to suffer with me, which is the only thing I feel guilty about.
I turned to look at her, my white coat was bloodied, and my face was still pale.
Hua Yan was injured by Ling Kai before, and she fought against the monsters hidden in the shadows, her efforts completely eliminated the only trace of doubt in my heart, and I began to believe that she really came to repay the favor, so she will definitely not harm me!
In that case, how can I let her suffer with me?
So, I looked around, and was about to persuade her to leave alone, and to leave me alone, when I heard a strange sound in all directions, cooing, cooing, like something swallowing saliva, and like something rubbing the ground, and the sound made only made people feel creepy, and their hearts were frightened.
Hua Yan and I turned our heads at the same time, and we saw black figures coming out of the six houses one after another, they were neatly arranged in formation, their steps were almost the same, stiff and numb, and surrounded us in the direction where we were standing.
In the dark light, I could only see these people in a very neat stream, and at first I could not see their faces clearly, until they were closer, and I could see that their faces were blue, their eyes were as green as those of hungry wolves, and their walking figures were as stiff as puppets, obviously controlled by someone.
Or, they're no longer alive, they've become monsters!
When I was still looking at these people, my eyes suddenly stopped, at this time these people were only more than ten meters away from me, the leading man was wearing a black down jacket, his face was pale, his facial features were stiff, and a pair of blue eyes were staring at me, as if he would rush towards me at any time and bite hard, and this person was none other than my father...... Yun Xueli.
I couldn't believe my eyes, because a few hours ago, he had dinner with us like a normal person, and he would deliberately get close to me, trying to ask me how I was doing, trying to understand my living conditions in the South City. Although he was relatively silent several times, I could feel his efforts, and he even changed his way to inquire about the location of my company and where I lived.
However, after only a few hours, he was a monster, a monster with a face whiter than paper and eyes greener than grass, his movements were stiffer than that of a puppet, and he looked twisted like a robot, clumsily moving towards us.
Feeling the oppression around me, and a disgusting smell floating in the air, I suppressed the strong churning in my heart, and was about to call my father's sanity when I heard a scream of "ah" behind me, which was heartbreaking and heart-rending.
Turning around quickly, a huge black shadow appeared in my pupils, but it had no physical body, as if it was just a shadow projected from the sky, but in its thick, huge palm with cyan scales, Hua Yan was being held tightly by it, and held it up in the air, making a movement that would crush her at any moment, making my heart beat to a halt!
