Chapter 17: Heavy Rain

Shi Yuan ran in the darkness. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

He didn't know where he came from, he didn't know where he was going, he didn't even know why he was running.

Is it in pursuit, or is it running for your life?

He didn't know anything, but he didn't hesitate to keep running.

Ahead, there were vaguely several figures, familiar but unfamiliar.

It was a couple of little boys, all of whom were villagers in this village.

Everything is silent.

They were running silently, laughing silently, stepping silently over the leaves.

At some point, a small wooden house appeared in front of me, and it looked a little familiar.

The boys laughed and opened the door to the hut and walked inside. Open another door and walk in again. Opening the closet, a secret passage was found leading to the next room.

Shi Yuan's heart shook violently.

A bloodied corpse fell from the ceiling and smashed to the ground. The corpse had not had a single piece of intact skin except for its head, and its internal organs had been hollowed out, and blood gushed out like a spring.

Shi Yuan's blood instantly surged to his head.

"Yang Lu ......"

Suddenly, a death knell sounded, and Shi Yuan lowered his head in disbelief and looked at the mobile phone in his hand.

On the screen, there is a new text message that reads: Do you want an answer? Here's the answer.

Shi Yuan raised his head again and stared at Yang Lu's corpse with wide eyes.

The body was gone, and the pool of blood was still there.

Shi Yuan woke up violently and immediately touched his phone.

No new text messages. Nothing has changed on the phone.

"Yang Lu?"

Shi Yuan muttered to himself and turned his head to look out the window.

The time was half past six in the morning. At this time, the sky should have been bright, but at a glance, it was still dark outside the window.

Shi Yuan walked quickly to the window.

It's raining.

Dark clouds rolled over the inky sky, as if something was poking its head out from behind the clouds at any moment.

In another hour and a half, the mission began. Everyone was already up, including Zhou Jianshu in the basement.

Soon, everyone gathered in the hall on the first floor.

"Did you have a dream about a boy's body falling from the ceiling?" Shi Yuan asked.

"Yes, and you're still in the dream." Liu Tong said.

"That boy," Luo Yasen said a little slowly, "that dead boy is Yang Lu. ”

"Yes. What happened in the dream was my own experience before all these tasks began. Shi Yuan said.

"I feel that this dream is very different from the previous ones, not like an illusion about death." Liu Tong said with some hesitation.

"That's right, because this dream is not a death illusion, but a quest prompt." Shi Yuan said.

"Could it be...... Location tips? Royassin raised his voice and said.

"We must go to the cabin," Shi Yuan turned his head to look out the window, "it's raining heavily, the way up the mountain is not easy, and we can't be completely convinced that the cabin is the only key to the mission for the time being." In this way, I, Mi Xiaoling, and Fang Yisheng went up the mountain, and the others waited here. If the dream about the wooden house is the only key clue, we will come down the mountain after we find the clue, and we will figure out a way together. If the cabin isn't the only key clue, I think there will be other clues. We split up in two ways to find 'someone' as soon as possible in the mission instructions. ”

"Shi Yuan......" Duan Jiaxuan said a little nervously, "You bring an umbrella, my umbrella ......"

"If you go up the mountain, it's not convenient to have an umbrella, so we wear raincoats." Shi Yuan interrupted her without waiting for her to finish.

Luo Yasen had already taken out three raincoats from the storage room and handed them to Shi Yuan and the others.

"Without further ado, let's go to the cabin now, and let's look for other clues." After Shi Yuan finished speaking, he walked out of Luo Yasen's house with Mi Xiaoling and Fang Yisheng.

At this moment, a bolt of lightning struck, and a thunderclap rang out, ringing everyone's ears. Shi Yuan tugged at the brim of his raincoat, beckoned, and the three of them walked towards the small cabin on the mountain that had brought Shi Yuan countless nightmares.

In the midst of the raging storm, the figures of the three people quickly became blurred. Liu Tong, Duan Jiaxuan and the others looked at their backs, feeling that those figures were as small as a drop in the ocean in this wind and rain, like a piece of dead leaves, which would be swept into pieces by the wind at any time.

It hadn't rained in a long time. And this time, it was a torrential downpour.

Shi Yuan and the others walked on the mountain road without saying a word, and the road that was originally easy to walk became extremely difficult to walk due to the attack of the torrential rain, and it was very likely to roll down the mountain if one was not careful.

"Huh?" As he walked, Mi Xiaoxiao suddenly made a puzzled sound.

"What's wrong?" Shi Yuan turned around and asked.

"What's that?" Mi Xiao pointed to a tree.

Seeing that Mi Xiao's expression was a little terrified, Shi Yuan immediately turned his head to look.

On the trunk of the tree, a blood-red ghost face appeared at some point, hideous and twisted, the blood-red color made it look more and more terrifying, and the ghost face seemed to be alive, under the effect of this rain curtain, it seemed to be faintly moving, as if an ancient evil ghost was sealed in the tree, and now it was about to tear the surface of the trunk and break through the restraints. Moreover, the three of them all felt as if they had heard some kind of terrible scream at this moment, like the howl of evil spirits in this stormy time.

Shi Yuan's face also changed and he walked over.

Could there be some kind of clue hidden in this blood-colored ghost face?

When they approached the tree, Shi Yuan and the others could see completely that the ghost face did not move at all, and everything was just an illusion. In the heavy rain, Shi Yuan took out his mobile phone and took a photo of the ghost face very carefully.

"Let's keep walking, and we'll talk about it if we see something like that in a while." After Shi Yuan finished speaking, he continued to walk towards the mountain.

After taking a few steps, Shi Yuan turned around.

The ghost face is gone.

The rain didn't stop, and the three of them struggled.

Soon, Shi Yuan found another blood-colored ghost face. This time the ghost face is slightly different from the previous one, but it's not much the same. Shi Yuan took the photo again, and the three of them continued to move forward.

Walking under a very dense giant tree, Shi Yuan stopped.

"I think there's something wrong." He said.

"What's wrong?" Mi Xiao asked in confusion.

"Those blood-colored ghost faces just now didn't really exist on those trees."

"You mean, those are hallucinations?" Mi Xiaoling frowned slightly.

"Yes." Shi Yuan took out his mobile phone.

The foliage of this giant tree is extremely dense, blocking most of the rain.

Shi Yuan opened the album in his phone and flipped out the ghost face photo he had just taken.

"You see, there's only a tree in the picture, and there's no ghost at all. Just now, it should be an illusion. Be careful, you may have more hallucinations, and maybe we'll die in the hallucinations. Shi Yuan's expression was solemn and he looked around cautiously.

The rainstorm turned the heavens and the earth black, and although it was morning, it looked like midnight. Shi Yuan and the others are equivalent to going up the mountain in the wind and rain at midnight, and the difficulty can be imagined.

The sound of wind and rain converged, interfering with the hearing of the three of them. In such a situation, even if there is something walking around, I am afraid that I will not be able to hear clearly.

However, Shi Yuan and the others still heard a strange sound of discord.

Boom.

Something seemed to be speeding through the trees not far from them.
