Chapter XXVIII
Master Mao and Qi Bing cautiously followed behind Yu Xin, and at this moment they were walking through the woods towards the town of Bozite.
The woods surrounding the highlands, or this formation, are still quite dangerous. At present, the only way to ensure the passage through here is to let Wang Xu or Yu Xin lead the way, otherwise even if it is a master like Qi Bing, it is possible to capsize in the gutter without noticing.
The mirror blade in Yu Xin's hand flashed with a faint purple light, and this soul weapon could still play a role under the urging of demonic power, guiding them to the only way out in this formation.
Qi Bing said: "I have an idea, can we try to burn this forest?" ”
The cat smiled bitterly: "Well, I don't think it's very reliable, the dead gas here, that is, the yin qi is too strong, the general fire can't burn here, if you drive a few large bulldozers, it is possible to bulldoze here, but I don't know, after shoveling, what is left is a pile of wood, or a mountain of corpses." ”
Qi Bing said again: "There is another thing I don't quite understand, why are there five of us who came here, we know each other, and four of them are psychic powers, how did Manson choose his target?" ”
The cat said: "I don't know about this, although there is a relatively bold speculation, but now there is too little evidence, and the specifics have to be found in the town to find some clues." ”
Yu Xin turned around at this time and said, "The exit has arrived." ”
Mao Ye and Qi Bing looked up, and in front of them was the path they had entered the forest yesterday. Sure enough, there is only one road through this forest......
They came to the town, and it was still the same scene, last night's heavy rain did not leave a single puddle, and the flow of time in this place seemed very strange, I don't know whether it was fast or slow, or maybe the time here was just an illusion......
"I don't think there will be anything too valuable in those houses, but the important thing is to go to the church." The cat said.
"Now that everyone has no spiritual power, it's better to act together, in case you fall into a trap similar to that corpse forest array, it will be troublesome to lose contact with others." Qi Bing's analysis is very calm and objective.
Yu Xin did not object, so the three of them came to the church together, and the moment they pushed the door in, the face of the cat master changed.
"There's someone else here." He said.
Listening to his tone, it was very certain, although he had no spiritual sense, but the cat master didn't know how to immediately perceive the existence of other people.
"Come out on your own." The cat man glanced around the church briefly: "There is one standing behind the curtain, one squatting behind the pulpit, and three hiding in the confessional room." ”
After about ten seconds, the one behind the pulpit stood up first, and at first glance it was still an acquaintance, William......
"Cat boss! Cat Master! It's you! He ran over with snot and tears.
The cat master stepped on William's face and pushed the kid a meter away: "Less nonsense, what cat boss?" Am I a Pokemon? ”
Teacher Gu ...... Is this voice Teacher Gu? "An uncle in his forties with a Chinese face walked out from behind the curtain.
"It turned out to be Professor Hao......" Master Mao smiled.
Professor Hao saw that it was someone he knew, so he breathed a sigh of relief, he turned around and shouted to the other side: "Come out, classmates, it's Teacher Gu from the health room, Lao An, you can come out too, it's okay." ”
The three who came out of the confessional were all girls, all of whom were students of Xiangyi. However, Professor Hao's Lao An came slowly from the room at the back of the church, and this Professor An also teaches at Xiangyi, but he specializes in a relatively unpopular field - theology.
As an authority on the study of various religions and theologies, his situation in Xiangyi is actually relatively delicate, after all, there are very few people interested in this course, or in other words, there is a problem that the threshold for this subject is too high in terms of employment prospects and development space......
Think about it, too, this year...... There are many people who want to learn Shaolin martial arts, and few people who want to recite scriptures and eat fasting; There are many people who want to be a nun, but few people who want to be a god; There are many people who want to find a Taoist aunt to combine and cultivate together, and there are few people who want to hide in the mountains and forests to realize the Tao. There are also some lamas who want to engage in local rebels......
All in all, in this impetuous era, religion may be just a discipline, it may just be a spiritual sustenance that you don't know much about, but few people will regard it as a career. Therefore, this professor Anse usually has a false title in the school, and he made up a name in the archaeology department, and his treatment is the same as that of others.
I have to admire the management of Xiangyi...... They uphold the principle that in our world's super universities, you are only allowed to say that you don't want to learn, but you can't say that you can't learn......
Master Mao glanced at Professor Anse, this man gave people an eerie feeling, with a middle-parted head, and he looked to be in his forties, perhaps because of his thinness, he looked younger than Professor Hao.
After everyone came together, Professor Hao said, "Teacher Gu, how do you know where we are hiding?" ”
The cat master put on his trademark lazy expression and said: "I saw the footprints of five people, among which William's steps were heavier, and the soles of his shoes were stained with more sand than others, which not only showed that you lacked exercise, but also exposed your position. He turned his head to look at Professor Hao: "Next time you will hide behind the curtains, please put your feet in......" Then he looked at the three girls: "All of them are brand-name perfumes...... No way, that kind of high-end goods will stay in the air for a longer time, and the fragrance will be more distant. ”
In the end, the cat master looked at Professor Anse with a smiling expression: "Professor An didn't leave any footprints, if he hadn't practiced light exercises, then he must have weighed less than several girls?" ”
Anse smiled, his smile ...... How to describe it, the ghosts in horror movies generally laugh like this......
"Hehe, it's just because of my shoes." He pointed to his feet.
The cat looked down, it turned out that this person was wearing neither leather shoes, nor sneakers, but a pair of canvas shoes, the style is very close to the kind of small cloth shoes that the old ladies who wrapped their feet in the old society loved to wear, but the material and size are not the same, like this shoes, the sole is very thin, and there is no complex texture, many of them are flat or horizontal, if you do it deliberately, you can walk silently, and leave no footprints everywhere.
"Teacher Gu, how did you get here? Where is this town called Bozite? Professor Hao asked.
The cat master snorted: "Ah...... Well, we don't know, I was playing in the hotel a minute ago, and suddenly I came to such a ghost place. ”
Professor Hao nodded: "That's right...... We are too, Lao An and I were eating together, but suddenly I felt distracted, and then when we got here, these four classmates appeared beside us. ”
"Oh...... When did you guys get here? Have you seen anyone else? The cat asked.
Professor Hao shook his head: "We have been here for more than an hour, we went around the town separately before, and we didn't find anyone, and finally we came here to gather and rest, and discussed the next plan, but I heard the voice of someone outside, and I didn't know if there would be any danger, so I hid, I didn't expect to meet you." ”
Master Mao said: "Oh...... I see. He then turned his head and whispered to Qi Bing and Yu Xin: "This is trouble, these people are all in danger, if you want to protect each one, it seems that it is difficult to ......"
Professor Hao continued to ask, "Teacher Gu, when did you come?" ”
Master Mao said: "We arrived yesterday, huh...... There are two other students, Wang Xu and Yan Li, you should know both, they are staying in the big house on the high ground over there, we found food and water there, or you will ...... too" He said as he walked out of the church, trying to show Professor Hao the ancient mansion, but an unbelievable scene happened, the high ground, the woods, the path they took back to the town, all disappeared, and there was only an endless desert in front of them......
"What's going on?" Qi Bing was asking Yu Xin this sentence, she was the only person here who could still use some spiritual powers.
Yu Xin's face also became very ugly: "You ask me, who do I ask?" ”
The cat master also changed his expression, this thing is funny, even the monk ran away with the temple, flying house travelogues? Apparently not, he muttered in a low voice, "Manson...... What kind of tricks are you playing......"
…………
No one knows what tricks Manson is playing, but at this moment, Wang Xu has an ominous premonition, this is the instinct of the dominant force, and he can sense the impending deadly threat to a certain extent......
Looking at Yan Li on the bed, her high fever was getting worse and worse, and she had been in a semi-comatose state, Wang Xu carried a whole bucket of water into the room, and constantly used a wet towel to help Yan Li lower her body temperature, he didn't dare to leave this room too often, because Wang Xu was very scared, he was afraid that when he walked in with a basin of water, Yan Li would disappear from front of his eyes.
At noon, the feeling of uneasiness became more and more serious, and Yan Li's high fever did not fade at all, it was just a cold in the rain, and it was fine if he took a cold medicine and slept in normal times, but the current situation was obviously wrong.
Wang Xu was as anxious as sashimi, and he didn't even have the time to cook it......
Originally, the cat master was a doctor, but now he is not there. Even if he is here, there is no medicine, no equipment, and no spiritual ability, and the so-called Qiao woman is difficult to cook without rice, and he will not be able to help much.
So Wang Xu can only rely on himself now, but he also has no choice......
Yan Li opened her eyes with difficulty, and her voice was very weak: "Wang Xu...... I...... I feel so uncomfortable......"
Wang Xu held her hand and let her lean into his arms, "I know...... I know ......"
"I ...... Will it die? ”
"Huh...... How is that possible...... It's just a cold, it comes and goes......" He squeezed out a smile, but it only lasted a few seconds.
"Don't lie to me...... I know...... It's not a cold......" Yan Li's expression was painful, and before she finished speaking, she lost consciousness again.
Wang Xu looked at Yan Li in his arms, his heart seemed to have overturned the five-flavor bottle, many emotions came along with heartache at this moment, he only felt that he was very useless at the moment, Yan Li's life was gone in front of his eyes, but he couldn't do anything, just like Eleanor at the beginning...... Could it be that the ominous premonition is that Yanli will die?
No! No way! I can't take it anymore, I can't afford to lose her again! Neither heaven, earth, man, god, nor ghost, can take her life from my hands again!
Wang Xu picked up Yanli on his back, kicked through the glass of the window, and jumped out directly from the second floor.
When he landed, he found that the sky was no longer the noon sky, but night, and a crescent moon hung in the sky.
One by one, dark shadows appeared in Wang Xu's sight, motionless, standing solemnly in the moonlight, with a distorted expression similar to a smile on their faces.
These are wax figures, wax figures dressed in human skin......
Wang Xu roughly counted the wax figures, there were about thirty or more, and the ancient mansion was surrounded by a strange position, and the groves around the high ground had become a sea of trees that could not be seen at some point......
