Chapter 15: A Brief Encounter

Why is the kid here? Who is the person he is talking about? Who's coming out? Why is it all so weird. Zhou Meng echoed these questions in her mind, her spirit was being extremely devastated, even if she saw the pistol placed in front of her, she didn't have the courage to take it, she always felt that once she stretched out her hand, she would be amputated in an instant. Terrified, the child's voice echoed in her head. "Get out of here."

She struggled to get up from the ground, moving her stiff legs, as if she had been picked off, and she couldn't exert her strength below her ankles, and in her frightened eyes, the gloomy ghost fog wrapped around her feet, as if she was bound by two ghostly claws, and soon she noticed the bruises on her ankles, and the sharp pain dropped instantly. But all this was not over, and the pile of grass that she had been wary of before suddenly trembled, as if something had popped out of it, but in her eyes, under this dim lamp, she saw nothing.

Then, she discovered a scene that she could never forget for the rest of her life, like the despair of death that made her lose all her ability to move, and a terrible silhouette emerged from the silent flowing mist, like a human being. He gradually extended from the depths of the dense forest to the road, and even the frost and cold around him were moving uneasily, as he approached step by step. Zhou Meng couldn't believe what she saw in her eyes, the so-called hearing is better than seeing, but this sight made her regret it. A ghost was constantly approaching her, and her desire to survive was still strong in her collapsed mood, and she slammed to the ground, raised her pistol in a panic, aimed it at the silhouette in the mist, and pulled the trigger several times.

Bang! Bang! Bang! In the silence of the night, in the secluded mountain peaks, three earth-shattering gunshots rang out through the heavens and the earth, echoing throughout the valley. Boom, boom, boom, three speeding warheads scurried through the mist, tearing through the surrounding air, and gradually dispersing the humanoid silhouette printed in the mist, directly penetrating into a locust poplar tree in the jungle behind. The three dull sounds were accompanied by the falling leaves, and the dissipated messy fog instantly gathered again, and the silhouette of the human form was more perfect, like a fierce and vicious savage man. "Your thing isn't of much use here." Suddenly, a suffocating voice came from the back of her head, the cold breath condensed in her neck, Zhou Meng exclaimed, the gun in her hand almost slipped off, at this moment, she used all her courage and strength, waved her arms, clenched the butt of the gun, twisted her numb body, and the muzzle of the gun turned around. However, there was no one behind her.

She gasped desperately, the voice behind her head just now was not an illusion, the voice that blended into the eerie and deep voice carried a hint of hoarseness, like a sturdy middle-aged and elderly person. No, it can't be, it can't be. Zhou Meng roared like madness in her heart, she looked left and right, there was no figure, tears of despair gushed out, soaking her cheeks. But then, her brain trembled, her pupils contracted sharply, and she turned around the moment she turned the head of the gun.

Ah, with a scream of pain, she was locked by a huge hand in her throat, and her whole fragile and lidness body was lifted high. Her eyes were blurred with tears, her mind was dizzy with suffocation, and her mind was blinded by fear, and her ghost-like face loomed in the frost, like the flesh of a dried corpse embedded in her forehead, and the muddy and twisted flesh made people shudder. Suffocating her flaccid fingers could no longer support the weight of the gun, and with a snap, it fell to the hard concrete ground, death falling, and she closed her eyes as she lost her life. However, faintly, a vague figure seemed to appear in the distance, and on the other side of the mountain road, the person seemed to be rushing towards him.

Zhou Meng had passed out, and the terrifying evil spirit was preparing to consume her soul, and two wisps of resentment formed by the mist spread towards her closed eyes, like two pit vipers gradually coiling up from her neck. But at this time, the evil spirit suddenly let go of his hand, and Zhou Meng fell directly to the ground with a heavy fall, without a sound. The misty spirit turned its head to look at the swiftly approaching figure, as if it were moving away in the dim light.

The evil spirit was startled, it waved its arms and roared, its resentment hidden in the surging mist, and swept towards the oncoming figure. The branches of the trees in the dense forest on one side shook violently, and the messy weeds swirled up, like a hurricane coming, destroying everything. A chilling sound resounded through the valley, and the figure stopped, and in the face of an impending evil force, he leaped and rolled on the inside of the road, and at the same time, a flashlight was taken from his waist, and an incandescent light was released, and it was illuminated on the outline of the evil spirit.

The dark shadow in the mist emerged in its original form, and the evil spirit could not hide under the light, its vicious and distorted face became more real, and a pair of dark and ethereal eyes in the miserable white flesh showed no trace of life, showing a strange and angry face. But then, wisps of smoke rose from its corpse-like flesh, and a piercing sneer erupted from its charred flesh. "Ahh It opened its large, twisted mouth, revealing two rows of bloody fangs and cacophony, making a cacophony of noise, hunched over the rays of the light, but the flashlight's searchlight followed its flickering shadows. "Silverware?" A vicious scream resounded through the dense forest, and it slammed into the jungle.

Xiuxiu...... Sassy ...... Xiuxiu...... Sassy ...... It sped through the dense woods, flashing over the weeds, the light of the flashlight swaying with the messy sound source, and strangely, under the incandescent light, the ghostly fog that remained in the jungle gradually dissipated. "Psychic? Yes...... How dare you step into my realm. It gave an angry warning, changing its voice as it moved quickly.

Suddenly, the grinding of the jungle was gone, and everything was quiet, but the light of the flashlight still lingered, shining under a poplar tree, in a messy pile of grass, next to a broken dead log...... The serenity of the picture continued, and it was unbelievable what had happened before that. The man turned off the light source, he turned his head to look at a pile of dark shadows in the corner of the jungle, and gradually, under the dim light of the street lamp, the appearance of a child slowly emerged, he looked frightened, stared at the man on the road, and did not reflect the horror and panic.

"Get out of here and go back to the other world, this is not the world you should be in." The man said in a deep voice, he twisted off the front cover of the flashlight, and took out a coin, in the dim light, the coin glowed slightly, and those who know know that this is an ancient silver coin.

"He's not going to let us go." The child took a step back, his eyes fixed on the coin in the man's hand, terrified of it. "Ah Le and Xiaoyu have been arrested, and those brothers and sisters who have not escaped have been locked up by him all the time."

"Where's your corpse?" The man knew that the only way for his soul to go to the other world was to return to his dead body.

"He's locked in the basement, and we can't get in." The child's expression was complicated, and he sighed in a low voice, "I'm sorry. ”

The man was none other than Mu Tianyu, who looked at the grief-stricken child suspiciously, unable to think of a reason. "Why?" He asked.

"That sister, I killed her, if it weren't for my crying, she wouldn't have gone into the jungle, she wouldn't have been caught."

Mu Tianyu guessed who the sister in the child's mouth was, it should be the deceased Yu Yan. "No, it has nothing to do with you, even if she doesn't go in, she won't be able to escape this."

"Will you come to our rescue?" Even if it is a yin, it still shows its innocent and kind side. "I know I'm dead now, can you get us back to where we need to be? Whenever the dawn came, I was terrified, hiding in the shadows, and once I was exposed to the sun, my soul would be gone, and this is how Lin'er disappeared. The child's aggrieved face made Mu Tianyu helpless.

He asked, "Do you know who it is?" "If you want to dispel evil spirits, understand its background and how important it is.

"I don't know." The child shook his head. "He always came out two hours early every once in a while, so once, Ah Le and Xiaoyu and I took the opportunity to escape, but they were still captured." Mu Tianyu was silent, put the coin in his bag, the child turned to look behind him, and hurriedly said, "I'll go first, you must come to save us." Its longing look, Mu Tianyu saw it in his eyes, and then turned into a wisp of green smoke and disappeared into the dim lamp.

The next day, in the bustling streets and alleys, the traffic was endless, and the noise gradually woke up the sleeping woman on the sofa, she opened her stinging eyes, her whole body was still weak, and in the blurred vision, a curious face appeared, a young man, who looked like a student. "You, you're awake." He swallowed, putting down and picking up the broom he was holding tightly.

Zhou Meng snorted lightly, and his stiff limbs, especially his neck, moved slightly, and there were bursts of vicious pain. She tried to choke, but the thirst in her throat seemed to tear through her muscles, making her speechless to speak. "I, I'm ......" The environment is not unfamiliar, especially the window sill opposite, as if he was still sitting there last night, Zhou Meng saw it in his eyes.

The man walked back to the front desk, took out a white wooden box from the bottom of the locked chest of drawers, then opened it, took out the black bag inside, held it tightly with both hands, and walked cautiously towards Zhou Meng. I secretly said in my heart, I didn't expect the real gun to be so heavy, comparable to several bottles of beer. "This ...... Mu Yu said, when you wake up, let me give this to you. ”

Looking at the silhouette to know what it was, Zhou Meng slowly put it into the back waist. "Thank you." She struggled to stand up with the help of the dining table, but her feet could not be strengthened, and she sat down again. "Okay, can you pour me a glass of water?"

"No, no problem." The man was still a little nervous, but quickly brought a cup of warm water.

"Thanks, you, are you?" Zhou Meng took a sip, and his throat seemed to be burned by flames, but after repeating it a few times, the pain was relieved.

"I, my name is Zhou Xiong, I am a student at Xia Hua College, and I work part-time at a convenience store." The man replied respectfully, because he knew who the woman in front of him was, the commander-in-chief of the serious crime team, but he was also very excited in his heart, after all, with the same surname, maybe the previous generations had something to do with it.

"What did you mention before?" Zhou Meng drank all the warm water in the cup.

"Muyu? Don't you know him? It's ......" Zhou Xiong then remembered that when he first entered the convenience store this morning, the other party was already unconscious, even if he didn't know Mu Yu, it was possible. "Oh, he's on the night shift, and it may take until the evening for you to see him."

"Thick eyebrows, a pair of deep eyes under the long and slightly curly eyelashes, a heroic nose bridge, and a look that has gone through vicissitudes." Zhou Meng recalled his appearance and described the face in his impression.

"Yes, yes." Zhou Xiong nodded and replied: "It's him, he's Muyu." ”

Zhou Meng took a deep breath, although the internal organs were not a severe pain, but it was not comfortable, there was a mobile phone on the dining table, it was her own, she glanced at the time, it was close to ten o'clock in the morning. "I, why am I here?" She gritted her teeth and tried to stand up again, and this time, even though her legs were shaking, she didn't sit down.

"When I came to change shifts, Mu Yu said that someone fainted outside the door last night, so he helped you in, and when he left, he said that you would wake up in a short time, so I didn't bother you, and I didn't notify the hospital and the police."

As soon as Zhou Meng tried to take a step, his hands were clubbed on his knees, and he was hunched over, almost falling, and at the same time he found the black sweatshirt he was wearing. "This, clothes?"

"It's not mine, it seems to be Muyu, the temperature at the foot of the mountain is very low at night, and there are no blankets at the convenience store." Zhou Meng endured the pain of his limbs and staggered towards the door. "Zhou ...... Officer, do you need me, help? Seeing this, Zhou Xiong said in a slurred manner.

"No need, thank you." She pushed open the door, flagged down a taxi, and disappeared outside the convenience store.

Zhou Xiong was still pulling the broom in his hand, in a daze towards the door, he said to himself: "Wow, although she is lost and depressed, she is still so beautiful." "Smack, I didn't pay attention, and the broom lever that turned around swept off two bottles of beer on the shelves and fell to the ground to pieces." Oh my God. He exclaimed, and he had to get busy again.
