Chapter 63: Temptation
The wind outside was very strong, and the window was "clanging" non-stop, and it felt as if there was a person standing outside, shutting the window with all his might, and it was undoubtedly creepy to hear it on such a gloomy night.
Li Sixuan covered her head with the quilt, trying not to listen to the terrifying sound, if it weren't for the fact that she walked for nearly two days without sleep, and Li Shuai was still guarding the door, she would never have and would not dare to rest.
In their senses, this is an endless mountain forest. Although the trees are not very lush, they are not dry either, and there is still a bit of greenery on the trunks.
They were originally walking along the shore, but they came here inexplicably as they walked, and as for the sea of blood that was close at hand, they no longer knew where they had disappeared.
According to Li Shuai, this place should be a storage zài similar to a different space, a separate storage zài. Connected to the space where the desert island is located, but the space is invisible, they can only feel it, but they can't see it.
In the past, when his ability was not suppressed, Li Shuai could naturally easily distinguish it, but now that his ability is suppressed, he just has a handful of strength left.
However, having this strength is actually enough, as long as he doesn't run into unrestricted evil ghosts, it is more than enough to deal with a few powerful ghosts with his strength, after all, in terms of level, he has surpassed the level of evil ghosts, and Xiao Hei is even weaker than him.
Although Li Sixuan was scared to death, her body was too tired, so she soon snored and fell asleep. Li Shuai was guarding the door, seemingly pretending to sleep, but his attention did not dare to relax at any time, and his ears listened closely to the wind around him.
Although he seems reckless, he is calmer than anyone else when it matters most. This calm and natural character is one thing, and more of a habit he developed when he was in the army.
At that time, as a leader in the special forces, he participated in many dangerous missions. Of course, these missions also taught him a lot of bloody lessons.
One of the most unforgettable is undoubtedly when he first joined the special forces, carrying out a mission to strangle drug dealers at the border. Because of the wrong intelligence, they were far fewer in number than the drug dealers, and finally they were forced into a barren mountain by the drug dealers under desperate resistance.
There were only six of them left, and they were almost out of ammunition and food, and there was no way to retreat. Although more than half of the drug dealers suffered casualties, there were still as many as thirty people left, and they were all a group of outlaws who had been wandering between life and death for a long time, and they were not weaker than them in terms of experience.
At that time, he had never experienced such cruelty. Seeing that his usually close teammates died tragically one by one, he could only escape under their cover.
That was the first time he felt that human life was so fragile and vulnerable.
Six people were trapped, almost all of them were wiped out, and the only ammunition and equipment left on their bodies was enough for one person at most. The last experienced old man, decided to let the youngest break through, while they took cover as "punching bags".
He strongly objected, but was eventually convinced. became the most cowardly of all.
When the five teammates decided to cover him, everyone gave him a punch with tears in their eyes, and I crouched on the ground in pain, and then I heard the words that I will never forget:
"We have no regrets. The reason why it hits you...... That's for our parents. ”
That day, he saw his most cowardly side.
On that day, he saw the most brutal scene.
In order to be able to win him a chance to break through, his comrades-in-arms were not afraid of death. Some people were hit by more than a dozen bullets and couldn't even stand up, but they were still crawling forward with their heads rubbing against the dirt.
Uncontrollably remembered the colic past in my mind. Li Shuai subconsciously touched his chest, and then took out a tattered cigarette case from it. There was only one dry cigarette in the cigarette case, Li Shuai looked at it retrospectively and let out a long sigh.
This box of cigarettes was the last "leftover" they had at that time, and he was still a smoker at that time, and a pack of cigarettes was smoked by a few people in a while. There were two left, and he kept them until now, and he had removed one before, and now only the last one remained.
This cigarette symbolizes his life, and if there is a day when he dies, he hopes to light it and return to the time when his comrades smoked and farted together.
He...... It's been too much, too much of a painful past.
Comrades-in-arms, parents, Fang Qing, Mu Xue...... Everyone he swore to protect was gone, he was a weak ant, he was a true waste.
Putting the cigarette case back into his breast pocket, Li Shuai's fist couldn't help but clench. He has really witnessed too many misfortunes and miserabs, and the past cannot be reversed, but the reality can participate, so he will protect Xiao Mo and the people around him regardless of it.
...... for them What's the point of dying!
If it weren't for Xiao Mo's encouragement, if everyone wasn't around, he would have already chosen to destroy Miè.
"Whew!"
After taking a deep breath, Li Shuai's mind calmed down again, he couldn't be affected by these feelings, even though these things had been bothering him for quite some time.
Opening his eyes completely, Li Shuai's gaze converged on the flickering window, and just now, he seemed to ...... It's like seeing a pair of dark green eyes there!
It's just that when I look at it again, it's gone.
However, he didn't think that what he saw was an illusion, after all, he was as strong as a demon now, and such a thing as a hallucination would not happen at all, so the scene just now ...... Absolutely true.
In other words, there's a ghost watching them through the window all the time!
"Sure enough, there's something nearby."
Li Shuai was not surprised, because in the final event, there would never be a time when there would be peace, let alone in such a strange space.
Surrounded by trees and steep slopes with potholes, the only place left for them to rest was a suspicious thing. The reason why they come in is that they feel that there is no safe place here, and it is better to find a sheltered place to rest than to be blown by the cold wind outside.
Li Shuai didn't act rashly, because the ghosts outside were obviously afraid of him, otherwise he would never have snooped outside for so long and still didn't act. He stood up at this time, then took a big step forward, turned his head and glanced at Li Sixuan, who was still sleeping, he guessed that the ghost was targeting Li Sixuan, and it wanted to lure itself out.
