Chapter 123: Scream
The other three were already asleep, but I didn't dare to sleep. I was worried that when I woke up, my soul had entered the fat man's fat body. It's scary to think about.
I rubbed my face vigorously and sat up from the floor. I have to be awake, even if it's not for soul exchange, there should be someone on duty for the night, how can I all be asleep in a place like this?
I sat by the fire, struggling with drowsiness, and was bored when I suddenly heard a rustling sound, as if something was crawling around. They touched the stones on the ground, making a slight crashing sound.
I looked around, and where the fire was shining, it was quiet, there was nothing unusual, and it made people feel safe. And where the fire does not shine, it is dark, faint, and I feel that there is danger hidden there.
I was a little apprehensive in my heart, wondering if I had heard it wrong.
So I pricked up my ears and listened to the sound carefully.
Yes, a few seconds later, I noticed that there was indeed a rustling sound approaching the campfire from all directions. I could feel that they were crawling slowly, hesitantly, as if they were worried about being discovered. But they never backed down, as if they were determined to deal with us tonight.
My heart moved, and I hurriedly pushed Wushuang next to me: "Wake up, wake up, it looks like something is coming." "
However, Wushuang smacked his lips, rolled over and continued to sleep, muttering something in his mouth, the content of which was nothing more than "Don't disturb me, it's easy to sleep." "
I couldn't wake up Wushuang, and I was very anxious. Just as I was about to shake her hard.
Suddenly, I noticed a dark figure on the opposite side.
The shadow was hidden in the darkness, large in size, on all fours, like a leopard, no, more like a tiger.
I was so confused that I didn't know if I should lie down and pretend to sleep now, and wait and see what happened, or jump up and chase him away.
I stared at the shadow in amazement. I hadn't made a decision yet, and at this time, I found out that it was targeting the sleeping fat man.
It was only two or three seconds later, as it drew closer, that the firelight finally illuminated its face. I just glanced at him, and I was immediately scared.
I saw another fat man. He looked at me with a wicked smile and a defiant look, and then, grabbing the peachwood sword that the fat man had thrown on the ground, he slashed at him.
I gasped and grabbed my sword, intending to save the fat man.
However, at this moment, I felt a cold air blow in my heart. The hairs on the back of my neck stood on end. After so many days of fighting, I have developed a very high level of vigilance.
I realized that there was something behind me as well. And this thing, intend to deal with me like a fat man.
So, I didn't even bother to turn around, and stabbed my backhand back.
I heard a muffled pop, and my peachwood sword was pierced into one of my bodies.
At this time, I dared to turn back, and behind me, I was actually standing myself. Or rather, someone who looks exactly like me.
The sinister smile on his face had not yet dissipated, but it had added to the pain of being pierced through the heart. The whole expression was bloody and weird.
Then, he closed his eyes slightly, and fell to the ground motionless, looking dead.
I was holding a peachwood sword, and my hands were shaking. Over the past few days, I've killed a lot of ghosts, but I've never killed anyone. Especially people who look exactly like themselves. This feeling is like killing yourself with your own hands.
I panicked and thought, "It seems that we all guessed wrong." Old man Hao, the six of them are probably not soul changes. There are really people who are exactly like themselves. "
I'm at a loss for what to do. Suddenly, I heard a scream behind me.
I hurriedly turned around and saw that the fat man was dead. The other fat man, smiling and slashing at the thin man's thigh.
Instead of killing the thin man, he woke him up with intense pain.
The thin man hugged his thighs and wailed, howling and hysterically saying, "Fatty, are you crazy? No, you're not fat, we've changed our souls? Who are you? Musou or Xu You? I don't care who you are, what are you cutting me for, didn't we say okay? "
The fat man did not continue to chase him, but apologized again and again, and the voice was very unnatural: "I missed, I missed." "
The fat man said apologetic words in his mouth, but with a smile on his face, as if watching a good show, he smiled and watched the thin man get up from the ground scolding. Then, pick up the peachwood sword.
At this moment, a man came out of the darkness, this person looked exactly like the thin man, and he walked behind the thin man with a cruel smile. Then he smiled and patted the thin man on the shoulder.
The thin man was startled, and reflexively, he slashed backwards with a peachwood sword in his hand.
When he swung the peachwood sword, he turned his head to take a look, and when he saw the man's face, the thin man's body trembled, but fortunately, he reacted very quickly and forcibly retracted the peachwood sword.
Then, with a long sigh, he said, "I forgot, our spirits are in trouble. I just missed and almost killed you. Who are you? Xu You or Wushuang? Is it fat? "
When he said these words, the thin man glanced in the direction of me and Wushuang, and immediately, his body trembled suddenly: "No, how did you become five people?" Who am I? Whose body am I using? "
The thin man's face turned pale, groping around his body, his hands were already shaking, and he muttered, "That's right, this is my own body." "
Suddenly, he felt as if he remembered something. He looked up sharply, looked at the other thin man opposite and said, "Who are you?" How can there be two me? "
However, he could no longer hear an answer. Behind him, the fat man smirked and waved his mahogany sword. The thin man's head was cut off and fell to the ground.
It's a powerful picture. I couldn't help but shudder.
At this time, I suddenly heard a chaotic noise around me, I quickly turned around, and found that Wushuang had woken up, she was holding a peachwood sword in her hand, and looked at me vigilantly. Obviously, she saw all the death of the thin man just now.
I pointed to the bodies of the fat and thin men opposite, as well as the other two dummies. Hurriedly explained: "The two of them are fake, and I am real." "
Wushuang shook his head, holding his sword and stepping back: "How do you explain?" "
I spread my hands and couldn't argue: "How can I explain it?" "
Before I could think of what to say. The two fake fat men and thin men suddenly burst into trouble, and after rushing to Wushuang, they stabbed at Wushuang with their swords.
I was in a hurry, and hurriedly shouted, "Be careful." "
Then he rushed to Wushuang with his sword, held her in his arms, and then swung his sword to block the two people behind her.
But at this time, Wushuang's anxious shout came from afar: "Xu You, Xu You." "
I looked at Wushuang in my arms suspiciously, and then turned back, there was another Wushuang standing there, and she looked at me anxiously: "Come back quickly." "
I haven't figured out what's going on yet. Suddenly, there was a pain in my chest.
I looked down and saw a short sword in my hands, stuck in my chest. She smiled and whispered in my ear, "Yes, you're real." But alas, I'm fake. "
Then, she nudged me. I fell to the ground. My hands and feet twitched slightly, my vision blurred, and I couldn't see anything anymore. My sense of smell is gone, and I can no longer smell blood. My hearing is still there. There was a peerless shout in his ears: "Xu You, Xu You"
Strangely, the shout did not go away, but became more and more real.
I snapped my eyes open and found me lying on the ground, Wushuang crouching next to my head, pulling at my ears and calling me.
I was startled and jerked my head up, my forehead almost hitting Musou's chin.
Wushuang was also startled, and looked at me with an unhappy face: "What's wrong with you?" Just said a few words and fell asleep, so you didn't wake up for so long? "
I looked around with trepidation. The fat and thin men were crouching on the ground and were looking in one direction. It was not yet dawn, and the bonfire was not extinguished. There were no identical corpses around.
I said to Wushuang in a daze: "Just now, I had a dream. "
Wushuang asked strangely, "Got a dream?" Then she waved her hand again: "I don't have time to listen to your broken dreams now." Something happened, do you know the way? "
My heart trembled, and I hurriedly asked her, "Something happened?" What's wrong? "
Before Wushuang could answer me, I suddenly heard a scream. It was like a woman's voice, miserable, coming from the northwest. Across the night sky, all the way to our ears.
Wushuang pointed to the northwest direction: "It's been ten minutes since I called, once a minute." Hey, guess what's this woman doing? "
The fat man over there laughed: "Could it be that he is giving birth?" "
The thin man slapped the fat man on the back of the head: "Don't talk nonsense, will there be children in this kind of place?" "
The fat man scratched his head with his big hand: "Maybe there's a village over there." Otherwise, let's go and see, in case someone lives there. Let's have a good meal. "
The thin man turned his head with a solemn face: "According to the direction pointed by these stones, we will also go to the northwest sooner or later." Now, in the middle of the night, a woman's screams could be heard. I listen to everyone's opinions, you say, do you want to go? "
Wushuang said categorically: "Go." "
The fat man also raised his hand to sign up.
I hesitated for a moment, just woke up from the dream I had just had, and then said, "It's too evil here, it's better to fall in love with this place." Why don't you go inside, what if you get something? "
Then, our group extinguished the bonfire, and then we traveled lightly and headed northwest in the dark.
The screams never stopped. It rings every minute. At first, the listener was creepy, and gradually, he became numb.
