Chapter 11: The Secret of the Scythe

The three of us were silent in the fog for a long time, and neither of us knew what to say. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info I was the first to break the silence: "Maybe it's an illusion, it's such a big fog, we must be hallucinating!" ”

"Let's go first, this place is so eerie and terrible, I don't want to stay with the dead!" Momo spoke.

"That's right, let's go first, let's just pretend we've never been here, maybe we'll forget it after a sleep." I echoed.

I know I'm making a fool of myself when I say this, sleep doesn't change anything, I've had so many of the same dreams, it's not that I can't remember what happened that night?

Just as Momo and I were about to pull the fawn away, he seemed to have discovered something.

"What do you think this is?"

I saw that the fawn slightly opened the back collar of the four eyes, and on the back of his neck, there was a sickle-like scar, but the pattern was slightly more complex than the sickle, as if it had been branded. Momo hid to the side, not daring to approach.

"Could it have something to do with those weird symbols?" I asked.

"It's hard to say, but I don't think this brand is new, it should have been caused a long time ago."

"Why do you want to brand this pattern? It looks like the scythe of death in the anime. ”

"It's a simple pattern, I feel like some kind of mark, like some kind of mysterious organization members have the same kind of tattoo." The fawn said, holding his chin.

"You think Four Eyes is a member of an organization?"

"I just feel that way. What I want to figure out most now is what happened to Huang Zhiqiu in the morning. The fawn frowned, and continued: "The appearance of this room is also very strange, let's go first and have a look." ”

Momo didn't dare to stay alone next to the corpse, so she followed us to the door of the house.

The door was not locked, but there were some signs of decay on the wood on it, which must have been some years old. The fawn cautiously opened the door, but surprisingly there was not much dust coming in, indicating that there seemed to be a lot of people coming and going.

It was daytime, but the thick fog still made the whole cabin a little dim, and we turned on the flash of our phones. The room was cluttered with wooden tools and old chests, and it looked like it was a warehouse.

"It's nothing special, it's just an abandoned warehouse." I said.

"I always feel like something is wrong when I look at this." The fawn said, looking around.

"Something is wrong, nervous, I think there are a lot of strange things, but you yourself are a little wrong. Let's go. ”

We dragged the fawn and begged him to take us away. Xiaolu couldn't resist the two of us, and probably didn't find anything, so he reluctantly agreed.

The whole ghost town is gray, the fog shows no signs of subsiding, and walking on the road, it feels like there is an oppressive atmosphere everywhere.

Xiaolu lowered his head all the way and pondered, and I asked Momo and I to walk next to him left and right, for fear that he would accidentally bump into something.

It's been a long journey, and because of the fawn, our speed is naturally not fast. Back at where we were staying, it was late in the evening, and after a casual meal, we went back to the dormitory.

At the end of the day, I felt like I had been through so much, and it was all so incredible. I don't know how the fawn feels, but I'm definitely on the verge of breaking down. There are so many mysteries in my mind that I don't have a clue about, and the only thing I can count on is the fawn.

I lay in bed and combed through all my doubts these days:

The first is what the hell is secret in this ghost town, and why we are locked up here; And then there's the Guardians, why they disappear if you mess with them; What is the origin of the young man in red we see; Did Lu Jie die because he saw the magic spell, and what did those symbols mean? We saw the long-dead Four Eyes in the morning, why did he disappear, and then suddenly appeared behind us, what was the meaning of the brand on the back of his neck; What the hell did you do with the abandoned warehouse that suddenly appeared?

......

I combed through these questions over and over again in my mind, as if I could get the answers by reciting them over and over again. But reality is always not so beautiful, these things, some are confusing and incomprehensible, some are incredible, and some even go beyond the boundaries of science and beyond the scope of our cognition.

"They said they hadn't seen Huang Zhiqiu for a day." Fawn pushed open the door and walked in.

"Did you tell them about the corpse?" I asked.

"Not yet, I think it's better not to tell it, after all, this matter is a bit difficult to understand."

"Indeed, I'd rather stay here like a salted fish for three years than be exposed to these weird things again!" I put my hands under my head and sighed.

I don't know if the fog outside the window has dispersed, but the fog of doubt in my heart has been shrouded for a long time. In this way, with a feeling of unease, I gradually closed my tired eyes.

The late summer night was still cool, and the fog shrouded the moonlight, hazy the sky, and blurred vision. I walked and walked in the dark alleys, as if I had a long way to go.

"Are you afraid of the devil?"

A deep voice came from behind him. I turned around, and the fog lifted, and the moonlight shone down the bleak and lonely alley, illuminating the figure ahead.

He was wearing a red cloak with a cap that covered half of his face, and I could only see a sly smile on the corner of his mouth. Is he talking to me? I asked myself secretly.

I wanted to answer him, but something stuck in my throat and I couldn't speak. I clutched my throat and struggled to pronounce it, but I couldn't.

"Are you afraid of yourself, then?" He continued to ask me.

I still couldn't answer him. I don't know if my reaction didn't satisfy him, but a huge scythe appeared in his hand, and I could clearly see my name engraved on it!

He walked slowly towards me with a scythe in his hand like a grim reaper. I stood still, my head blank.

Should I turn around and run away at this time? I didn't know, this strange feeling made me a little intoxicated, and I longed for relief.

Step by step, he approached. Then he swung his scythe and slashed at me. At the moment of imminent death, I woke up.

Damn it! Is it the boy in red?

The night is still very dark outside the window, and I don't know when such a day will end.

What really happened that night? Why do I dream of the boy in red? Could it be that the key to the whole thing is the boy in red? I closed and meditated, and this kind of dream only added to my troubles.

I don't know how long it took, but I fell asleep again, and this time I seemed to sleep soundly because I was so tired......
