Chapter 1: The Running Boy
"Where...... Where did you go...... The guy ......," the hollow voice dragged on with a long mournful scream, "where...... Where did you go, where did that guy go......"
A panicked teenager ran through the jungle and mountains, his skin scratched by the branches aching, but the boy ignored it completely, he just ran forward mechanically, as if there was a flood of beasts chasing behind him or a ghost asking for his life. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
On the dirt road that crosses the jungle, two boys dressed as high school students walk side by side.
"If you want to work part-time, of course, you should go to the beach!" The boy on the left, who is slightly shorter and a little chubby, says to another boy.
"By the sea, I wonder if there will be an affair." The slightly darkened boy on the right responded with a cheap smile.
"Of course there is, there will be!" The boy who was a little chubby also added with a smile.
Suddenly, a dark shadow rushed out of the jungle to the left of the two of them, causing them to take a step back. "Wu Wei, what are you doing?" The boy, who was a little chubby, saw clearly that this black shadow was a new classmate from their school and asked.
"Ask me what I'm doing—" the boy replied subconsciously. Suddenly, as if remembering something, the young man turned his head to look left and right, his chest rose and fell violently, and he was panting heavily from the high-intensity and rapid running, and the sweat on his forehead dripped down the black hair of the young man's sideburns on the ground.
"You're covered in mud, are you alright?" The slightly chubby boy asked the boy a little worriedly.
"It's fine." The boy slapped and shook off the mud from the short lining with both hands.
"Are there any Taoist temples or temples around here?" The boy looked up again and said.
"Uh... Remember that there is a temple at the very back of this jungle. The dark-skinned boy replied, and at the same time pointed to the jungle on the right with his right hand.
"Thank you!" The boy swung to the left and swung his right hand at the two of them before running to the right in a panic.
"Hey, Wu is worried about ......" the slightly chubby boy shouted dissatisfiedly at the young man's distant back.
"What's wrong with that guy, what's he anxious about?" The slightly chubby boy asked the slightly darker boy next to him.
Before the slightly darker boy could answer, a strong and slightly chilly wind suddenly blew from behind the two of them, causing the fallen leaves to fly all over the sky, and the two of them were also pushed forward by the strong wind to take a small step forward before they stopped.
"What happened just now, it's such a strong wind, that guy is weird, it's been so long since I transferred to another school, and I haven't said a few words properly." The dark-skinned boy said to himself. "There is a feeling that people dare not talk......"
Wu Wei couldn't hear them anymore, his ears were whistling with the sound of the wind, and on the left and right were the low grass that kept retreating.
He ran forward as hard as he could, his chest rising and falling violently, and his breathing getting heavier and heavier. "What are you doing? How strange are you? "Right? I really envy you guys, I can't see that thing.
Wu Wei glanced back and was immediately shocked.
He unexpectedly saw a huge blue-brown face, and that huge terrifying face was four or five times larger than Wu Wei's entire human area. There are no eyebrows under the forehead, but a bloodshot one-eye, and under the one-eye, there are two cracks written upside down with the character "eight". Wu thought that it should be its nose! The most maddening thing is that its mouth is exaggeratedly cracked to the root of the ear, although Wu Wei doesn't know if it has ears, but it is this mouth that bites down, and it is estimated that it can swallow Wu Wu's whole person. Wu Wei was chased by him just now.
Wu Wei has often seen strange things since he was a child, and those strange things should be commonly known monsters. Originally, Wu Wei didn't feel very comfortable, but since moving here, some guys have always loved to pester Wu Wei, which makes Wu Wei quite nerve-wracking, like this time, as long as he escapes into the temple or Taoist temple......
Suddenly, a huge brown palm slapped Wu Wei on a big tree, and the giant claws tightly imprisoned Wu Wei's arms, making him unable to move.
"Caught it, finally caught you, Wu Xie." The huge grimace said excitedly as he approached Wu Wei.
"Wu Xie? ......" Wu Wei held back the burning pain behind him, tried to open his left eye and asked tentatively.
"Okay, give it back to me, give it back to me!" The huge grimace makes a high-pitched sound with a mouth that is cracked to the base of the ear, like the sound of fingernails scratching on glass or a chalkboard. Wu Wei was terrified after hearing this.
"Wait a minute, don't let him call your name." There was a bit of a sissy sound coming from the left shoulder of the giant grimace. Wu Wei looked up over his left shoulder with a huge grimace and saw a monster with a pair of bull ears and a robe squinting at him.
"Pull out his tongue first so that he can't speak, right?" Another voice that made Wu Wu cold came from the mouth of the monster with cow ears.
"Tongue!" The left palm of the huge grimace couldn't help but tighten a little because of the excitement. A crisp sound of bones shattering came from Wu You's body, and it seemed that Wu Wu's bones must have been crushed several times.
"It hurts......" Wu screamed in pain, and his left foot subconsciously stretched out and hit the one eye of the huge grimace.
The huge grimace screamed and let go of the giant claw that grabbed Wu Wei, and its body fell backwards because of Wu Wei's kick, and the giant claw covered its face and rolled on the ground. "It hurts, it hurts, I'm kicked."
"Stupid, he ran away!" , the youkai with cow ears scolded anxiously with a huge grimace.
Wu Wu ran forward in great strides. Why is this always like this, I don't want to see it voluntarily. Wu Wei thought to himself.
Three years ago. When Wu Wei came to the first relative's house to stay temporarily.
I remember one day, at lunchtime. "Wu Wei, just put three plates." The young woman handed the bowl to her husband and reminded Wu Wei.
"But there's another guest over there?" Wu Wei looked at the guest sitting opposite the rectangular table and said, only to see that the guest glowed white and raised his left hand and waved to Wu Wu with a smile.
The husband and the young woman turned their heads to the right of the dining table at the same time, but there was only a lonely solid wood chair, and there were no guests as Wu Wei said! The young woman suddenly felt uncomfortable, and her carefree face became disgusted. And the husband looked indifferent.
In the evening, in the living room.
"That kid is talking nonsense again today," said the young woman, holding the cup from the coffee table, to her husband.
"Maybe it's because of loneliness that I want to get your attention!" The husband replied with his right hand holding a cigarette and his lowered eyes.
"Is that really the case? But I always feel hairy. The young woman said uneasily. Or we'll send him away...... "The young woman continued.
"But...... But...... In this case...... "the husband was a little hesitant and dissatisfied......
Wu Wei had been secretly watching the two couples outside the door, and when he heard the end, Wu Wei sighed softly before leaving.
Again, it was a white, bloated shadow.
"Look, there." Wu Wei pointed to the white bloated shadow in front of him who was fiddling with the flower pot with his right hand and said excitedly to his uncle and young woman.
"Where? There's nothing! Wu worried. The young woman said with a soft chuckle.
"Well, yes, you can see clearly!" Worry-free ran forward, raised his right hand and pointed directly at the white shadow and said.
"Right there, it's looking here!" Wu Wei saw the blank eyes of the young woman and his uncle, and added.
"Alas...... Alas......" The young woman and uncle looked at each other, shook their heads, and sighed.
There really is, Wu Wei knelt on the ground in frustration and sobbed softly.
The mind came back to the present. Wu Wei quickly climbed the steps of the temple, "bang" - because of panic, his left foot stepped on the air and fell forward, and his head hit the bluestone steps heavily.
"It's unraveled, it's finally undone, and the barrier that sealed me is unraveled." Suddenly, a low voice came from Wu Wei's chest. Carefree was startled, and she held back the sharp pain in her forehead and got up in a panic.
"Enchantment?" Wu Wei reached into his shirt and took out the black jade pendant he had brought with him for five years. This jade pendant was left to him by his grandfather, and it was said to be a talisman. But now this black jade pendant has several deep cracks, and a trace of black gas is emerging from the cracks.
"Suffered!" Suddenly, Wu Wei seemed to understand something and shouted. "What to do? What to do? ”
Wu Wu was already exhausted by this time, and his legs were numb and shaking in place, and he could no longer run.
After about ten seconds, the jade pendant suddenly exploded, and a black phantom slowly formed in the black smoke. The phantom slowly became solidified, and gradually formed a handsome man in black in ancient costume.
"Seeing that I was unmoved, you human being is very bold!" A strange sound came from the mouth of the man in black.
"I'm used to it." Wu Wei pretended to be calm and replied. In fact, he has already thought in his heart, horizontal and vertical is just a death, anyway, I am alone, and I will never give in to you monsters. Maybe if you die early, you can see your parents and brother in heaven!
"It's really a guy with no one in his eyes, you shouldn't be Wu Xie, right?" The man in black stared at Wu Wei's eyes as if he asked casually.
It seems that the huge grimace just now also mentioned Wu Xie, and Wu Wei remembered that he was almost pulled out by the huge grimace just now, and he was afraid for a while. But he still pretended to be calm and replied lightly: "Wu Xie is my grandfather"
"Grandpa, you are Wu Xie's grandson! I see, you are indeed much younger than him," the man in black said as he floated around Wu Wei and observed him.
"Do you know my grandfather?" Wu Wei then asked.
"yes, he's an interesting man. And you can see monsters just like you, but others can't see monsters, no one understands him, Wu Xie is always alone, always alone......" The man in black replied to Wu Wei softly.
"Lonely ......" Wu Wei looked up at the canopy above his head, the sunlight shone down through the gaps in the leaves, one by one, and fell on the bluestone steps and shattered.
"By the way, do you know that after he started looking for monsters to relieve his boredom, he made a contract book" The man in black stared at Wu Wei's eyes and asked softly with a casual expression.
"Deeds? …… Oh" Wu Wei was a little dazed at first, but then he seemed to think of something "Oh", and at the same time, the black-clothed man's pupils shrank. "In this way, grandpa's ......" Before Wu Wei finished speaking, suddenly a gust of wind blew, and Wu Wei was suddenly dazzled when he blew up the fallen leaves on the ground. When he opened his eyes, he looked left and right, and the man in black was gone.
"Disappeared ............"
