Chapter 22: It's Too Quiet
There's no way around it, after all, the only thing they have now that can be called clues is those oil paintings.
Shi Yuan kept looking at the photographs and comparing them with the original oil paintings in his memory, carefully distinguishing which ones were paintings with Leticia, especially the paintings that only painted her.
Between heaven and earth, it was pitch black. Not only is there no sun, but there is also no moon or stars.
Shi Yuan looked at the photos while raising his head from time to time, vigilantly observing the surroundings.
He suddenly had a delusion. He felt that even in the bright world, sometimes it was as dark as here.
Whether that's because, in the bright world, sometimes there is no light, or because the power of the dark world has already penetrated into the bright world, Shi Yuan doesn't know.
"I said, Shi Yuan," Fang Yisheng suddenly said in a strange tone, "Why do I feel a little ......?"
"What's wrong?"
Shi Yuan glanced up and asked.
"I think it's too quiet for us to stand here for so long and not encounter anything?"
"Too quiet?"
Shi Yuan understood what Fang Yisheng meant.
Compared to Fang Yisheng, he had just entered the dark world, and although he had some speculations about the environment here, he didn't know much about it after all. Fang Yisheng had been here for a long time, he might have known that it was impossible for such a long silence to be here, so he felt that something was wrong.
Thinking of this, Shi Yuan also became more and more vigilant, and said, "In this dark world, are there ghosts everywhere? Anything unexpected at any time? β
"Pretty much. In the beginning, I didn't even dare to move around, I just wanted to stay in the same place. If I hadn't found you this time, I wouldn't have left my original position at will. In fact, there is such a law here, that is, if a person enters the dark world in a state of not dying, if he stays in the same place, he will generally not die. But if you leave the place rashly, it is very difficult to say. β
"I see."
Shi Yuan remembered that he had turned into the dark world in a cellar. According to Fang Yisheng, if he stayed in that cellar all the time, the probability of death would be greatly reduced.
However, he had something to do, and he couldn't stay in the cellar all the time.
Fang Yisheng said that it was too quiet here, obviously because this situation was not normal.
It's ironic that there is no abnormality, but it feels abnormal.
Suddenly, a gust of wind blew silently, bringing with it a strong smell of blood and decay.
It's so quiet. As Fang Yisheng said, this place is too quiet.
Wait, what about Aunt Huang? She had looked frightened and made strange noises every now and then, but now, her voice had not been heard in a long time.
Shi Yuan turned around suddenly, but unexpectedly found that Huang Qiong was standing behind him.
"Aunt Huang, why don't you have any sound at all?"
Shi Yuan immediately asked.
"What sound can I have?" Huang Qiong said with a displeased face, "I don't have anything to do, so of course I won't be silent." β
Seeing Huang Qiong's appearance, Shi Yuan didn't want to talk to her anymore, so he withdrew his gaze and continued to check the photos on his phone.
If it weren't for the fact that Huang Qiong in the perception domain was white, Shi Yuan would have been far away from her a long time ago. As for why she wasn't left alone, it was also because she was a villager in Dark Crow Ridge Village. Shi Yuan turned into the dark world this time, in addition to wanting to find the secret behind everything, rescue the third aunt and cousin Shen Han, and lift the curse, if he could have the opportunity to save others, he would also do it by the way.
Of course, it's just in passing. If he put himself in danger in order to save them, it would be impossible for Shi Yuan to do it. If she encounters terrifying evil ghosts and powerful ghosts, and everyone is desperately trying to escape, Shi Yuan will not turn around and save her, after all, that is no different from sending her to death.
Will you be able to meet other villagers?
Shi Yuan was slightly distracted. He immediately adjusted his mind and continued to check.
"Huh? Here it is......"
Finally, Shi Yuan discovered that in a certain photo, Laticia was not behind a Western-style classical building, but a very modern teaching building. Due to its small size, he did not notice it at first.
That school building was a place he knew all too wellβthe school building where his classroom was located.
Judging by the location in the photo, Leticia is not in front of the school building, but at a distance.
"Fang Yisheng, I found an important clue, go, follow me ......"
Before Shi Yuan's words fell, he heard an extremely terrible scream behind him, and it was Huang Qiong who made the sound.
He turned his head in shock, only to see that a gray-white demon was grabbing Huang Qiong's head with one hand and easily pulling her off the ground.
"Ahhh Ahh!!hhhhh β
Huang Qiong struggled in pain, blood flowing from between the demon's gray, white, withered claws, flowing across her face, turning her countenance, distorted by pain and fear, even more terrifying.
"Run!"
Seeing this scene, Shi Yuan and Fang Yisheng were both terrified and rushed quickly.
"Ahh You guys...... Save...... Help me! Help!!, ahhhh Ahh!!!hhhhh β
Huang Qiong watched Shi Yuan and the others run away, her heart almost stopped beating at this moment, and her whole body became cold as if she had fallen into an ice cellar.
"Help me!! Help me!! Shi Yuan! You don't have to die well!! β
In the midst of extreme pain and despair, Huang Qiong burst out with amazing strength, and her poignant and vicious voice also reached the ears of Shi Yuan and the others from afar.
"Phew! Stinky old woman! Fang Yisheng couldn't help but scold, "We don't save her, at most we have no grievances, she just curses us like this." Why didn't she want to think about it, she was trying to pull us backs? How many times are we supposed to curse her? β
"Forget it, don't talk about it."
Shi Yuan's face was also very ugly, and he said in a low voice.
He knew in his heart that he had no way to save her, and he would not feel guilty for not saving her. Only when you make a mistake will you feel guilty, and Shi Yuan doesn't feel that there is anything wrong with what he has done.
If Huang Qiong was caught by a person, no matter how strong and murderous he was, Shi Yuan would stay and help her, after all, he had a gun. However, the other party is a demon, a ghost with terrifying abilities that far exceed human imagination. Stay? Unless it's tired.
Far away, Huang Qiong's voice was endless for a long time.
"Shiyuan!! You don't have to die well!! β
The vicious words rippled through the air, inspiring echoes with heart-stopping malice.
"I have long seen that the old woman is not a good thing," Fang Yisheng said again, "please save him, but his attitude is so bad." Is there such a request? She also scolded you for being an elm pimple......"
