The forest trail has been filled with a faint haze at some point, and although it is not gray, my past experience has made me very sensitive to such an environment. Most of the mysteries are accompanied by gray fog or snowflake ashes, which makes people feel oppressive and abnormal, but even in the normal morning light, it is not always normal. In my opinion, this phenomenon must be considered from the perspective of consciousness, such as the visual effect caused by the "fog" itself, and the feelings it brings to people, rather than simply starting from the physical cause of the fog to understand its existence.

It makes people's vision narrow, hazy, sticky, and heavy—these descriptions of the feeling of being in a fog are in perfect harmony with the meaning of "mystery".

In many literary works, fog itself has a mysterious flavor that people can't help but imagine, and most of the non-ordinary, even dangerous and abnormal conditions, also occur when the fog is filled.

Even at this time, the sunlight penetrates the branches and casts into the mist, making the scenery in the mist more clear than the fog I have seen in the past. However, the hazy mystery brought by the fog itself is still there.

In this mist, three figures suddenly appeared. And the three boys who had a dispute with us before and left in a mood could no longer find a trace halfway through. The combination of the two makes me have to wonder if something unusual has happened. And those three figures, are they still not the original three boys?

"Hey!" The tall girl shouted at them, "Where did you just go?" There had been an argument before, but she didn't seem to care anymore, and wanted to know what was going on with the loss of trace. The slightly shorter girl tightened the gun in her hand, and despite her curiosity, she seemed to be prepared for danger. The two girls usually look bold and open. But I think it's just because they're just as cautious.

Even if they don't think about the mysterious events, they seem to have memorized the details before. I think, under normal circumstances, maybe the boys would have thought about revenge. In turn the case of mischief. However, if you think about it more strictly, the other party's bottom line may be more than just a prank. And the two girls should have thought about the worse situation under normal circumstances.

The three figures stopped after the tall girl shouted several times. There was something wrong with their speed, and the two girls didn't seem to notice that we were catching up at different speeds, but whether they were fast or slow, the three figures always maintained the same distance from us. Let us neither see them clearly here, but also not be left behind by them.

In this way, doesn't it seem like the other party is deliberately controlling his own speed?

The three figures in front of us stopped in the haze, and we caught up for a distance, which seemed to be about five meters, but we were not sure, because the three figures were still not very clear, and we thought that the fog had suddenly increased.

I couldn't help but hold the two girls. They turned their heads. Look at it with an unexpected and puzzled gaze.

"Something is wrong." I say.

The tall girl frowned, and the slightly shorter girl tightened her arms.

The three figures in front of them never replied. I should have heard the shouts from our side before I stopped, but I didn't mean to turn back. Just standing there quietly, facing forward, saying that it was waiting for someone, in such a situation, it also seemed a little weird.

"Prank?" The tall girl said to herself.

"Why don't you turn around?" The shorter girl shouted at the three figures. And the other side is indifferent.

In chain decisions. It can be felt that they are indeed zài, but they cannot outline a clearer outline. The mist that permeates the forest seems to not only cut off the vision of the naked eye, but also cover the sensibility with a thin veil. I grabbed the folding knife in my pocket. Get out of the way, prepare to walk around the woods in front of them, keep a distance, and see what the hell is going on.

"Stay here and don't move." I said, "Something is wrong. ”

"What do you want to do?" The tall girl stopped me and said, "They're just pretending." ”

"What if not?" I asked.

"If the other party has any bad thoughts, you are more dangerous alone." The shorter girl said, "Just follow us, we have guns." With that, she pulled me around the route I had predetermined. The tall girl also followed vigilantly.

It's like we're not getting the other person's attention. The silence of the three figures made the scene even more floating with a strange atmosphere. Even the two girls felt it and appeared more nervous and cautious.

"What are you doing? Scare us? The tall girl spoke, but the content of the speech itself had little meaning, in my sense, it was more like a beast giving a warning roar, and it was only this act that had its original meaning.

The three figures remained motionless.

As we got closer, the fog seemed to fade a bit, and from this angle, we could see flecks of light scattered on the bodies of the three figures, the clean light dispelling their motionless strangeness a little.

However, when we got closer, the bodies of the two girls suddenly stiffened, and there were expressions of disbelief on their faces. Their hearts were greatly shaken, yes, the three faces that could already be seen clearly were by no means normal.

Just from the shape and clothing, it can be determined that they are the three boys who left before, but their clothes have become quite dirty, as if they have rolled on the mud in the forest several times, not only dirty, but also have many holes, a large area of scraped skin can be faintly seen, and there are several large red spots like blood. The place where these wolves bèi is not visible from behind them before, just by seeing this, one can imagine that they have encountered some kind of bad situation before.

The fog could no longer cover their faces, but—

They don't have a face.

The outline of the head and face is clearly visible, but the part that should be the front and facial features is only a shadow, just like when painting a portrait under some artistic techniques. Leave the face blank and blackened. When such an image really comes into reality and appears in someone, of course, it will be shocking.

"Wow, what the hell!" The tall girl couldn't help but exclaim, "What are you guys doing!?" "Even at this time. I don't think she'll use "anomalies" to think about her current state. The scene in front of them was a prank for them. But even so, something was wrong, and with their angry words, the faces of the three boys were left with a dark shadow, and blood began to seep down, and in the blink of an eye, it flowed down. Gathered at the chin, ticking down.

Such a sight once again frightened the two girls and made them take a step back.

"What, what...... It's disgusting......" said the tall girl, as if unconvinced, holding back the uncomfortable feeling.

As soon as her words fell, an uproar of flapping wings rang out from the surrounding woods, hazy depths. It seems to startle a large number of birds at once.

I can't see it clearly, but. These voices and vague visions seem to indicate something.

I watched vigilantly around me, and the birds, as if they were false, were not present at all in the chain decision. To the extent I can feel and observe, only a part of it is real. If you can simply think of it. What can be observed by chain judgment is the "real existence", and what cannot be clearly observed is mixed with falsehood and illusion. But past experience has taught me that it is definitely not that simple, even if it is like a nightmare. If it is not real, it may also bring fatal damage to yourself in an instant.

However, if Dr. Ruan Li is here, he can probably really ignore these seemingly illusory things that may not be illusory.

I can't, my consciousness is very much dù, already shaped by the experience and perspective of the occult experts in the adventures of the past. Even if you don't admit it with your mouth, you know very well that the angle from which you observe and accept things is completely abnormal.

In the occult, in the face of "ambiguous" situations, there is often a saying that "what is believed to be true is true". And this is also the most common dilemma encountered by occult experts, ordinary people, if they have a firm materialistic belief, may be able to avoid something that is not very real, but it is difficult for occult experts to do that.

Moreover, the "mystery" we are facing is not exactly the same as the situation described in the occult, and it is easy to hypnotize ourselves into ignoring this qiē, but even if we do so, there is no guarantee that we will not be harmed.

Whether it is an illusion or a reality, we must act according to the first thought of our hearts - that is, when we do not think it is false, we must respond to it as if it is real.

I shot.

Without hesitation, three bullets hit the faces of the three boys. The bullet was embedded in the black shadow of the face, as if it were a single piece of hard black metal. The impact of the bullet caused the black shadow on their faces to crack, and the blood gushed out at once, flowing more violently. The two female voices were startled by the sudden gunshot, and almost pulled the trigger, but finally came back to their senses and stared at me with incredulous eyes, as if asking why I was shooting.

I understand it very well, because, although the current situation is very strange, the two girls still can't get out of their daily thinking. A normal person, even in the face of a faceless person, would not immediately shoot the other person in the head. Despite fear, social restraint is still pervasive in the individual's behavior.

I've been free from this for a long time. I sometimes hesitate because of the moral contradictions in my mind, but that doesn't mean that I always hesitate, on the contrary, attacking first is more often the choice.

"I don't think they're dead." I said calmly to the two girls. They looked at me as if they had just known me - but they were not wrong to say so.

I fired several more shots until I emptied the magazine, and all six bullets hit the heads and hearts of the three boys, but none of them could get in, and the twisted bullets left outside were clearly visible.

On them, the blood is flowing all the time. But like a scarecrow, he didn't react at all.

"Bullets, bullets?" Slightly shorter girls also noticed.

The warheads were all squeezed out of the three boys by a force and fell to the ground, the process was clear, and this was by no means a normal situation, even if it was wearing body armor, it was not normal, besides. If they do wear body armor, it's also an anomaly.

Just when the two girls were shocked, the faces of the three boys, who had no facial features, cracked a crescent-shaped opening, and finely shattered, like black glass, shards fell. And the location of this wound looks like a smiling mouth.

They laughed as if some intention had succeeded.

I think the smile was actually aimed at me, not the two girls next to me.

The next moment, I felt only a blow to my head and heart, and I almost passed out, when I heard the screams of two girls. My consciousness was sinking, and at this time, I felt. The body seems to be really unconscious, and it is precisely because of the coma that this dream-like familiar feeling of falling is produced. But I can still think, and the vibration of consciousness does not bring pain.

I don't know how long it took me to suddenly think that I had to open my eyes. So, I did.

The feeling of falling in the dark abyss suddenly disappeared. I opened my eyes hard and saw two girls screaming. The surrounding fog and the three boys had vanished. I couldn't help but touch my forehead and chest, the feeling of being pierced by great force was still very clear, but there was no wound on my forehead, no bruises, and my heart was still pounding. It's like that feeling. It's just an illusion, but if it weren't for me, I guess I'd really be dead. I can't help but think so.

Sure enough, it came towards me, and there really was a mysterious force. Peeking at me in the dark.

This attack, even if it fails, can be regarded as a temptation.

"I'm fine." I shouted to the two screaming girls. They shivered at once, as if they had just woken up from a nightmare, their foreheads drenched with sweat, and they stared at me with frightened eyes.

"I'm fine." Again, I said it in as calm and calm a tone as possible.

"No, it's okay......" The tall girl seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, but she was extremely confused, "No, no, I obviously saw ......"

I replied, "It's just an illusion." ”

"Hallucinations ......% hallucinations?" The two girls had a blank expression, and finally came back to their senses, and when they looked left and right, they found that there was no fog around, and the three boys who were terrible and abnormal were gone.

Such a situation, of course, is an "illusion" for ordinary people like them, and it is easier to understand. Only I'm pretty sure that what happened before wasn't a hallucination. The other party came at me, and successfully attacked me - using a series of psychological inducements, I took the lead in attacking the three things that looked like boys, but, judging from the feeling and counterattack, it was more like my damage to those three things, which was fed back to me.

If you were someone else, you might have been killed. The feeling of being bulleted through the brain and heart was quite real, it just didn't have the corresponding effect.

This kind of ability has been seen in the past. However, the forces involved in the "mysterious" are just that, and it is difficult to predict until you actually face them. I never thought that the other party's ability would be like this.

Again, an ability that has nothing to do with "speed".

I had to think about the next time I encountered it, even if I cut my throat with a knife, it was possible that I would be cut instead.

This kind of ability is quite tricky for me. However, since this time, he was not really killed by a bullet, then, even if he used a knife, he would probably have his throat cut back, but it was also just like a nightmare.

"Well, those three." The tall girl didn't seem to know how to describe it, she swallowed her saliva hard, looked at the surrounding forest, and her body couldn't relax at all, even at this time, whether it was fog or mist, the three people were gone.

"What just happened......" she looked at her female companion.

The slightly shorter girl also had a look of surprise and uncertainty, and nodded, indicating that she had also suffered it.

All three of us were attacked, but I was the only one who was attacked.

The two girls seemed to have thought of something and looked at me with strange eyes.

"Is it really okay? You just ...... It appears to have been shot through the forehead and heart. The tall girl said euphemistically, but was pulled by the shorter girl, and immediately shut her mouth again.

"So, it's just an illusion." I repeated again calmly.

"You don't look nervous at all." They tentatively asked, "Besides, all three of them are hallucinating, isn't it a little ......" I know what she wants to say. However, it is probably difficult for them to accept the "mysterious" thing here.

"I've seen a lot in mental hospitals." I said, "The mental hospital here has a lot of history, and everyone says that there are a lot of unclean things in it. "That should be acceptable to them.

They are also skeptical, but I believe that what happened to them before will make them more sensitive to this kind of thing.

"Doesn't sound like a good thing." The tall girl laughed dryly, paused, and said, "Forget it, as long as it's okay." Let's get out of here, it's a bit of a sinister place. Obviously there was nothing to do yesterday. ”

"Isn't the place where we live newly expanded?" The shorter girl said, "We only live there, and we usually only walk in the direction of the nature reserve." ”

"I don't know." I disguised: "I was also transferred to this mental hospital just now, I've been here before, and I haven't heard of it." After being informed, I checked the history of this place. In short, this place has never been a good place in the local history...... People in the surrounding towns are secretive about what is going on here. Since this has happened, I think you should just leave and go as far as possible. ”

This time, the two girls had no rejection of the idea of leaving. The situation was so weird that even if they weren't the ones who were attacked, I don't think they could really think they could stay out of it.

Probably after completing the temptation, a certain deposit that launched the attack did not stop us again. And we didn't see the three boys anymore, and even in the section of the trail where they appeared in an unusual way, there was no trace of them ever being zài. This is also the reason why it can only be regarded as an illusion.

We quickened our pace, and the two girls were chased by monsters, and it wasn't until ten minutes later, when the road widened and the outline of the building could be seen, that the nervous expressions gradually relaxed. Because, in this place, human voices can already be heard. In the past, although the forest path was also a stone path created by man, it was completely only walked by myself and others. Usually, it can be said that there is a quiet and indifferent nature, but when it encounters a strange attack, it is particularly scary.

The noise of human voices is like a signal that it is safe.

There were no more anomalies, and by the time the three of us approached the building, there were already quite a few people moving. There are not many office facilities here, but there are many people gathered. Some of them are staff, some of them are tourists, but I don't know exactly what these tourists are. Dr. Nguyen Le has also said before that on this peninsula, there is currently no other place to live except for mental hospitals and villas.

Won't these tourists stay here? They neither look like psychopaths nor live in villa complexes.

In addition, I think it is really difficult to understand that the mental hospital and the villa area that is operated as a commercial operation should be regarded as neighbors during the entire renovation project.

Would a rich person like to live next to a mental hospital? And it's also a psychiatric hospital with a long black history.

No, maybe there are people who like such an exciting environment.

On the other hand, I don't think that the villa area is just an "ancillary facility" of a mental hospital.

"They don't seem to be here." After walking for a while, the tall girl suddenly said that the "they" in her mouth of course meant the three boys, although they had encountered that strange situation, but considering that it was an illusion, they would have preferred to confirm with their own eyes, what is their real situation, right? As soon as the two girls came in, they looked for the behavior of the three boys, which I didn't find strange.

However, they had long been promised that they would come here, and they were nowhere to be seen, which inevitably reminded people of some terrible possibilities. Both girls showed a look of surprise, although both sides quarreled, but I don't think that the friendship between each other has broken to the point of hatred. It can be seen that they are still very worried about each other. (To be continued......)
