When he heard Feng Jialu's screams behind him, Xu He subconsciously glanced back. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Feng Jialu's body had been tightly wrapped in the black, and Xu He, who was far away, could only see a black humanoid object twisting and rolling on the ground.

Slender black bugs continued to fall from his body, and quickly crawled back on him, gnawing at his body.

Xu He only glanced at it, and then didn't dare to look any further.

He scurried around the ghost king's tomb like a fly headlessly, completely ignoring the terrible screams of his companions behind him, and only thinking about his own escape.

After he left Feng Jialu, he wandered in the tomb alone for a few days. During this time he ate all the food he had with him, which was not much; encountered the abyss that swallowed Xu Sheng several times, and each time he turned around and ran; The most important thing is that he always turns back to the place where Feng Jialu died before he knows it.

Feng Jialu's body had already turned into a mess of white bones, piled up on the ground in a mess. Every time he saw it, Xu He could feel the two black holes on Feng Jialu's skull, like a pair of resentful eyes, staring at him deadly.

Therefore, he never dared to get close to Feng Jialu's bones, and every time he saw it, he immediately turned around and ran.

However, he didn't encounter the kind of insect that had eaten Feng Jialu again, and he didn't hear the strange sound in the tomb.

Naturally, I was not able to see the main burial chamber with its huge coffin.

It's as if he's been abandoned from the world. His companions left him one by one, and now even the ghosts and monsters no longer paid attention to him, leaving him alone and slowly waiting for him to die.

Probably because I was too unsuccessful as a man, God didn't want to keep me, and Hades didn't want to accept me.

This was Xu He's thought the day after he ran out of food.

At this time, he was already tired and had no strength to move anymore, but for some reason he could still move his legs mechanically, wandering aimlessly in the tomb.

It's been a whole day without eating, and just a few hours ago I drank the last sip of water from the kettle, and now it's completely depleted and lifeless.

He walked slowly against the wall, and after turning a rather familiar corner, he saw Feng Jialu's white skull again.

Its jaw opened wide as if it was making a maniacal movement, and its deep eyes were still staring at the direction Xu Sheng was coming from, which was also the direction he fled in the first place.

How many times have I seen it in the past few days?

Wait, it's been the first few days?

Xu He vaguely felt that his brain had lost the ability to think.

"I know, Brother Feng, you're still angry with me." He approached the pile of bones with a wry smile and whispered, "You want me to accompany you, right?" I left you alone and ran away, and later I saw you running, and I didn't even give you the incense. There's no righteousness at all, you must hate me to death. ”

"Oh no, I brought you two in the first place. You already hated me when I died. ”

"So you've been holding me back for the past few days, preventing me from finding my way out, just to tell me that you let me stay here with you, right?"

Xu He stared straight at the pile of bones, talking to himself madly, and approached the pile of bones step by step.

When he finally walked next to Feng Jialu's bones, he only felt that the strength in his body seemed to be drained all of a sudden.

He "pounced" and knelt down in front of Feng Jialu's bones, lying on the ground and crying.

"But Brother Feng, I don't want to die yet!" He cried at the top of his throat, and let out a cry that was not like a human being: "I still want to go out, I want to live well, I want to make a lot of money, make a beautiful woman and marry a good wife!" I don't want to die in this place! Brother Feng, I beg you, can you let me go, okay? ”

He lay on the ground for a while, straightened up again, kept kowtowing to Feng Jialu's bones, and kowtowed while sobbing and begging for mercy: "Brother Feng, I beg you, you can let me live!" You can rest assured, I will not forget to burn paper money for you during the New Year's holidays in the future, and I will burn money for you when I go back, burn houses, burn cars, burn children~ boys and girls. I will do what I say, and I will definitely not forget this for the rest of my life! Brother Feng, think about it, if you let me go now, you will eat and drink spicy food below, and you will not lack anything...... But if you drag me to die here with you, then you will have nothing! ”

"Oh, by the way, and Jiashou, I won't forget him. Both of you brothers are good brothers to me, and I will never forget any of them. I'll treat you as my own brothers, and I'll give you whatever I give my brother, and I won't miss a dime! ”

Xu He chattered for a while, then raised his head and peeked at Feng Jialu's skull.

I don't know if it's a psychological effect, but when he looks at it now, it seems that Feng Jialu's skull is not as hideous as before.

Obviously the same empty eye sockets and wide open jaw, now it seems to be more of a sarcastic expression?

Xu He looked at the eye socket of the black hole ~ hole for a while, and suddenly thought of something.

"By the way, Brother Feng, I'll burn incense and paper money for you now." He hurriedly reached for the canvas bag he was carrying, and took out a wad of paper money, a bouquet of incense, and a box of matches.

"Why did you say I forgot, I obviously always had these things on me, why didn't I remember to burn you some before, cough cough ......"

He pressed the lighter and lit the paper money in his hand, choking on a puff of smoke and almost dying.

After he relieved himself, respectfully put the incense on the table, and burned a lot of paper money, he once again respectfully kowtowed to Feng Jialu's bones.

"Brother Feng, you can accept this little bit of caution, there are more when you turn back. Please let me go, you will return to dust, don't worry about this matter, okay? ”

"Or Brother Feng, do you have any unfulfilled wishes, if you have any dreams, you can tell me in your dreams, and the little brother will definitely do it for you, so that you can leave without worry."

The smoke-filled tomb tunnel, the quaint and simple murals that looked a little distorted and deformed under the smoke, and a man kneeling in front of the skeleton and babbling endlessly.

It's comparable to the scene of the cult ~ cult ceremony.

Xu He finished burning the paper, and when he went to look at Feng Jialu's bones again, he had more confidence.

He trembled and reached out to touch Feng Jiashou's skull.

The skull was originally hanging on top of a pile of bones, and it was crooked and unstable. was touched by him like this, and the whole pile of bones was scattered all over the ground with a "bang".

Xu He was taken aback by this voice, and hurriedly knelt on the ground and continued to kowtow, constantly shouting "Brother Feng spares his life".

After kowtowing for a while, he didn't hear anything else, so he boldly looked up at Feng Jialu's bones.

The pile of bones and paper ashes on the ground were mixed together, and it looked gray and miserable.

Xu He subconsciously reached out to pick up the bone, but his eyes were attracted by another thing.

Where the bones were originally stacked, a small, green plant was revealed.

It had several palm-sized ovoid leaves, finely serrated at the edges, and thin burrs on the branches, with a few cherry-sized, bright red fruits hanging from the tops.

This plant was originally blocked by Feng Jialu's bones, and it was not until this moment that his bones spread out and were discovered by Xu He.

It looks very ordinary, not unlike the weeds that can be found everywhere on the roadside. But if you look closely, you will feel that it is slightly different from known plants.

Especially the red fruits, the translucent flesh seems to be full of juice~ juice inside, and the center is a black, slender core.

He had never seen this plant before, but the first time he saw it, he was captivated by all his attention.

The thing stood in front of him, the ripe fruit trembling gently with the smoke that had not yet dispersed, as if it was silently seducing him~.

"I'm sweet, sweeter than anything you've ever eaten, quenching your thirst and satisfying your hunger. After eating me, you will have the strength to go out, come and eat me! ”

Xu He seemed to see the plant as a delicate ~ tender woman, dressed in a thin veil, beckoning to him with a smile, tickling the most primitive desire in his heart.

It's not just the appetite, it's ......

Xu He swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and the ghost envoy stretched out his hand, grabbed the bright red fruits, and stuffed them into his mouth indiscriminately.

The taste of the fruit is not as sweet and sour as expected, but very bitter and fishy.

The juice splashed as he bit down his teeth, and the juice quickly moistened his throat and slid down his esophagus into his stomach.

The core of the fruit is not as hard as he imagined, but very soft, more like animal tendons ~ meat, with a little tenacity. Because he couldn't chew it, he was too impatient, so he swallowed it in one gulp.

What am I eating? Why should I eat something from such an unknown source?

It was only when he swallowed a few pieces of fruit that he came to his senses.

By the time you realize your mistake, it's too late.

The fishy juice quenched its thirst only for a moment, and then revealed its hideous true face. They were like chili pepper water, and they began to burn his mouth. The burning sensation ran down his throat and down to his stomach, and there was a burning pain.

It was as if there was something heavy in the stomach, not only hot, but also constantly falling. Xu He hugged his stomach, only feeling as if he had swallowed a ball of red-hot scales, so hot that he could die of rotting his stomach at any time.

He lay on the ground uncomfortably, and with the last of his strength, he reached out and uprooted the plant, giving vent to his anger.

The tiny burr pierced into his hand, and the fine pain it brought brought temporarily diverted his attention from the pain inside his body.

Then he saw something that frightened him even more.

The roots of the plant were not whiskered or lumpy roots like other plants, but a dense mass of wriggling, black bugs.

It's no different from the mass of bugs that swallowed Feng Jialu.

When he saw the mass of bugs, he immediately felt a wave of nausea.

It also makes the gods think of the truth ~ phase.

What I just ate wasn't fruit, but the eggs of this thing!

This is a rare time in Xu He's life, when he is sober and witty, but he would rather he didn't understand this matter.

At the same time, a new change appeared in his hot stomach. It was as if something was squirming in his stomach, stretching his stomach a little bit.

By the time his stomach began to swell and ache, his abdomen was already swollen~ like a pregnant woman with Rokka, and the black object that kept squirming in his abdomen stretched his belly a little transparent.

Xu Sheng fainted in severe pain.

The sharp pain in his abdomen constantly tormented him, causing him to faint and wake up in pain, and he remained in a state of chaos all the time. In the process of confusion, a terrible thought was always circling in his head.

I'm going to have my stomach burst by these things eventually.

Feng Jialu's miserable screams before his death kept echoing in his ears, as if he had seen his future.

The worms would grow in his belly, devouring his flesh from within, before bursting through and eating him clean, leaving behind a pile of fleshless bones.

Just like Feng Jialu at the beginning.

is even more miserable than Feng Jialu.

As he woke up from his coma again from severe pain, he vaguely saw a figure standing in front of him, holding out a hand towards him.

His vision was blurry, and he could only make out the man's outline.

But that's enough.

Standing in front of him was Xu Sheng, who fell into the hole and disappeared.

Brother, are you here to pick me up?

So, am I really going to die here?

He squinted at Xu Sheng's illusory figure and held the hand that was reaching out to him.

When Xu He woke up again, he had already left the strange "Ghost King's Tomb".

He opened his eyes and saw a clear blue sky, surrounded by fragrant weeds, and the crisp chirping of birds echoing in his ears.

He was confused for a moment, then sat up sharply.

Probably because of the exertion, he felt a wave of pain and dizziness the moment he sat up, and he almost couldn't support his body.

At the same time, an unprecedented wave of hunger came from his stomach, but it didn't hurt at all.

I'm not dreaming, how did I get out of that hellish place?

He looked around in confusion and pinched his big~ leg hard.

The sharp pain reminded him that this was not a dream.

He breathed a sigh of relief, stood up slowly on the ground, and looked into the distance, trying to figure out where he was now.

"The place where I came out was at the gate of the temple in Jijia Village, and I just stood up and saw the Ghost King Temple."

Xu He slowly finished talking about his past experience, sighed, and shook his head.

"I don't know how many days have passed. The bugs in my stomach were gone, and when I looked at them again, I was left with only these scars. ”

As he spoke, he lifted the hem of his shirt to show everyone the marks he had left on his body.

His abdomen was covered with black and red marks, as if something had been pressed against it. It was densely twisted and twisted, covering the skin of his abdomen, and people couldn't help but feel a tingling of their scalp.

Xu Tianle only glanced at it, then turned his head away, and couldn't bear to look at it again.

Shen Qingge squinted his eyes and stared at the scar on his stomach, and his eyebrows twitched unconsciously~ for a moment.

"When I first came out, for a while I thought that experience was my dream, but the Feng brothers died, my brother also died, and I still have such scars on my body, so I know that those are not hallucinations." Xu He patted his belly and put down his clothes: "These should be left by those insects, they didn't eat me, but I always felt that they didn't leave my body." Over the years, I've been tormented by them for hours almost every day, but now I'm getting used to it. ”

"This is probably the retribution I took for throwing Brother Feng here, I deserve it." Xu He smiled bitterly: "I haven't forgotten to burn paper for him during the New Year's holidays, but he still doesn't let me go, and tells me in my dreams at every turn to let me accompany him." I didn't have any other purpose in coming this time, I just wanted to collect their bones and ask him for forgiveness......"

"Don't talk about your own nonsense here, I'm not interested." Shen Qingge slashed the ground with the tip of his gun, and made a sharp and piercing voice: "Let's talk about Jijia Village, were there still people in the village when you came out?" ”

"Village?" Xu He subconsciously repeated, and then shook his head quickly: "There is no one in the village." When I came out, the door of the Ghost King's tomb was wide open, and the chains on the tied coffin were broken. The lid of the coffin was directly wide open, and the female ghost inside didn't know where to go. ”

He breathed a sigh of relief, with an unbearable expression on his face: "There are also a few students who went to peek, their bodies are placed at the door in front of them, disemboweled, and they all smell rotten." ”

"The female ghost should have gone by herself. I saw a line of bloody footprints following the grass beside me in the direction of the village. ”
