Chapter 18: Hand bones

I don't know how I came to my senses.

When my eyes could see clearly again, the first thing I saw was the corpse of the glasses.

I fell to the ground, and he was not far from me, with a half-open mouth and a hole the size of a bowl in his stomach. His entrails lay on the ground, and blood poured out in front of me like a stream. I moved away, but my body felt like it was wedged, and I couldn't move.

I gasped, and my eyes were blood-red, like a veil of blood-red.

I closed my eyes, opened them, closed them again, opened them again...... I tried many times, but this bloody scene still can't go away.

I finally gave up, believing that none of this was a dream.

My body was shaking, and I didn't know if it was because of the spasms caused by the severe pain, or because of fear, or something. Anyway, I was shaking like chaff, and I couldn't calm down.

Immediately afterward, I saw Dadong not far away. He collapsed on the stone bridge, covered in blood, motionless. I suddenly remembered that he was caught off guard and had no way to escape before he was stabbed by countless slender tentacles that came at me......

In an instant, tears welled up from my eyes, and I gritted my teeth and couldn't hold back any longer.

I lay on my back, covered my face with my hands, and cried like a wreck.

For a while, all kinds of emotions were intertwined and violently hit me. I don't understand why this is the case, I have always felt that each of them is invincible, Dadong, Xiaorong, and even the girl, even if they encounter a sinister situation, they can survive in a desperate situation, and they will never die.

But I was wrong...... I've been wrong all along.

For the unnatural things in the world, we human beings are as weak as ants. All along, we have been able to survive only because of good luck.

How can I control my own destiny? And what kind of ability can fight against those things? One person, one life, life and death are just a matter of an eye.

It's just that I'm not reconciled!

I feel sorry for them - it was I who dragged Xiao Rong and the girl to this place, and if it weren't for me, they wouldn't have died miserably. There is also Dadong, although he has always been hard-handed and ruthless, but if something happened, which time didn't he save me?

But...... All dead......

For a moment, my head was full of pain...... What female corpses, what stone bridges, all of them don't care. I knew in my heart that my death would not be too far away if I had come to this point. So, when I looked up and saw a large group of white-clothed female corpses slowly surrounding me from all directions, I didn't panic at all. On the contrary, he was calm, as if he was seeing himself in the mirror.

Is this where I be?

Is this the end of everything I have in this world?

I closed my eyes and didn't resist, feeling the tentacles wrap around my neck, and then slowly and forcefully......

At first, I felt pain, my head was swollen, my lymphatic pain near my neck was excruciating, and my throat was filled with a feeling of nausea. Then, the sensation of my whole body began to fade from my fingertips, and consciousness began to slowly move away from me......

I felt like I was floating in a wide river, and although my body was soft, I felt cold, cold.

In a split second, all sensations were suddenly gone, leaving only the burning sensation in my throat. I still couldn't breathe, but I felt like I would never die.

What's going on here? Could it be that I am actually the reincarnation of a little strong fighter? How can Nima's vitality be so tenacious? Can't die if you want to?

Or do those female corpses not kill me, and see that I am still a little beautiful, so they deliberately tease me? I immediately started scolding in my heart, so I held the last trace of survival **, my heart was horizontal, and I opened my eyes hard - at this time, I suddenly found that the female corpses around me were gone.

But that's not right! Why didn't that feeling around my neck go away? I panicked and tugged around my neck, but immediately realized that it wasn't the case. When my two hands touched my neck, it was clear that it was not those slimy tentacles, but something else.

It was a little hard to the touch, stuck around my neck, and felt like a "folding fan...... What the hell is a folding fan? I'll go to his second uncle's, anyway, it's probably the feeling of folding a fan.

I was so choked that both of my eyes were about to burst out of my sockets, and I couldn't care so much about it right now, so I grabbed the thing and tugged hard...... In an instant, as the thing loosened, the force around the neck was gone.

I lay on the ground and took a long breath, and after a while, my vision became clearer. It was still dark, except for the flashlight next to me.

I took a few breaths, calmed down, and hurriedly grabbed the flashlight and shone it on my hand. I thought to myself, what the hell is this, it almost killed me. Looking down, I couldn't help but be stunned, only to see that what I was holding in my hand was actually a human hand bone.

This is what I just pulled off my neck?

I was startled, and then it occurred to me that this hand bone was none other than the remains of my second uncle that I had recovered from the crooked neck tree of the "One Stone".

But no, isn't this hand bone in my pocket? When did you run out?

And also...... Where did the female corpses go?

I looked around, and it was dark, and I couldn't see clearly. If you don't kill me, those things won't give up, and maybe there are even more insidious tricks waiting for me! Thinking like this, I felt a panic in my heart, and I got up to my bones.

But suddenly I felt even more wrong! I stared at the ground in a daze, and exclaimed in my heart that it was strange - where was the corpse of the glasses? Wasn't it still there just now?! My back froze, and I looked back fixedly, but Dadong and the girl were gone!

I was confused, and suddenly I noticed something even more bizarre, and I reached out and touched it...... What's going on? The wound on the shoulder is gone!

I sat limply on the floor, my head blank. After a while, countless questions rushed into my mind like a rising tide.

What's going on?

Why is it that when you open your eyes, everything disappears?

Worst! Am I dead? And in front of you is the afterlife?

But no, since I'm dead, why am I still gasping? And the joints on my body are sore, and my head is a little swollen...... It's clearly a low-grade fever!

Can a person still have a low-grade fever when he dies? It's certainly not possible! With that in mind, I immediately stood up and shone my flashlight around. At this glance, I was dumbfounded.

I saw that Jing Lianhong's underground courtyard was gone, the lotus pond was gone, and the weird stone bridge under his feet was gone! It was completely different from the previous scene, in the dim white light, it was an empty room......

Where is this? It was just a matter of closing my eyes and opening my eyes, how did I get here from that underground courtyard in an instant? Why don't I feel anything at all?

I thought, I can't be dreaming, am I? Scratch your head.

But if it was a dream, everything before would have been too real, and I still seem to have that sharp pain in my shoulder.

I had a mess in my head, but I knew it was a waste of time to think about it, and safety was the first priority. So I pressed all the questions in my heart, lowered my body, and groped inch by inch in this room.

It was too dark for me to judge the size of the place, but I thought it should be a hall the size of a public classroom. There were no windows, no doors, no beams, nothing in this hall, and it felt more like a secret room. I saw that the walls of the hall were painted with brown earth paint, and I could see a mural of a coiled dragon on the roof.

At this time, my flashlight suddenly started to make bad contact, and the light flashed twice, and then went out in one fell swoop. I was in a hurry, and I was busy patting with my hands, but the light still didn't shine.

It can't be that there is no power, right? At this juncture, if there is no light, doesn't it mean that I will die? I was so anxious that I tried to tap the flashlight with all my might, and suddenly, it came back on.

Holding the flashlight, I breathed a sigh of relief.

At this moment, the circle of light illuminated by the flashlight shone directly on the opposite wall, and the hall was not empty, but in the white and blurred light, there seemed to be something lined up at the base of the wall.

When I saw this, my heart suddenly became nervous, and I thought to myself, what is that? Why does it look so familiar? I looked at it carefully with my brows, and the more I looked, the more strange I felt, and then the aperture moved upwards, and I instantly understood...... I grass! It's a row of human legs.

This scene was something I didn't expect, and I was suddenly startled, and after I settled down, I slowly used the light to illuminate. In the darkness, I saw a group of people standing upright in the darkness with their eyes wide open.

They were motionless, living like corpses......
