Chapter 40: Human Skin Doll

Xiao Xia took the amulet away from her heart, shortened the adjustable string, and placed it in the center of her eyebrows like a forehead! This time, the role of the talisman is to block Zhang Jialin's detection of her thinking!

She just wanted to warn Ruan Zhan and tell him not to run to save her easily, so as soon as she felt his anxious response in her heart, she immediately stopped echoing him. By communicating with his heart, let him find this place by feeling, it is not what she wants!

She is his partner, not a drag on him, this sentence is not just for the sake of listening, she will definitely be able to do it! Thinking of this, she calmed her breath and plucked up the courage to start saving herself.

Mobile phone, right on the left wrist. Because she is afraid that she will not be able to hear the call when she puts her mobile phone in her backpack, she puts her mobile phone in a wrist phone case every summer. After she was forcibly dragged here, the first thing she did was quietly remove the phone battery. This mobile phone is the only thing she can contact and even save her life, and it can't be discovered by Zhang Jialin!

After quietly replacing the battery, she hesitated for a moment, then pressed a button casually with both hands on her phone, but despite this, the sound of a 'drop' button came from the palm of her hand, which seemed particularly harsh and sudden in this dead room, startling herself first.

Fortunately, there was still silence in the room. Xiao Xia swallowed her saliva and slowly took the phone out of her palm.

After a long period of darkness, the faint blue light that suddenly appeared on the screen was a little dazzling, making it take a few seconds for Xiao Xia to adjust to this lighting. Judging from the unusual darkness and damp and moldy air here, she had always thought that she was locked in a windowless basement, about a dozen square meters, and the light at the moment completely confirmed her judgment.

Xiao Xia held up his phone and vaguely saw that four or five meters on the opposite side was an empty wall, and there was nothing but a wooden door that looked heavy!

Even though she knew that the door was unlikely to be open, she slowly walked over and tried it. The footsteps echoed step by step, each step seemed to be stepping on her heart, making her feel frightened, and she knew that silence itself was also a kind of horror, because every tiniest sound was infinitely amplified, which seemed incompatible with the silence, and seemed to be an extra burden on the heart!

When my hand touched the doorknob, I immediately felt a cold and sticky feeling, and there seemed to be another layer of moss growing on the rusty metal, making people feel like they were touching a snake. Xiao Xia immediately withdrew his hand and wiped it on the wall next to him, making sure that this path was impassable. So she wanted to find out if there were any sticks and bars in the room that she could use as tools. But as soon as she turned around, she suddenly had a very strong feeling - there were many 'people' in this room, and she was not the only one!

All along, she felt that she was the only one in this basement, and she never felt that there were other 'people', but at this moment, she suddenly felt it. It made her hairs stand on end, and the thought of sitting in the dark with so many 'people' staring at her all the time made her heart stop beating in horror!

Without warning, the light of the phone disappeared, and Xiao Xia fell into darkness again. It takes adaptation to see the light from the darkness, but it takes longer to adapt to the light and back to the darkness! At this moment, the darkness in front of her was like a bottomless abyss, and the terrible thing was that she knew that she was surrounded by many, many 'people'!

She stood there, not daring to move.

All around, the dead silence continued, and there was no reaction, as if it was confronting her. Gritting her teeth, Natsu pressed her phone again, endured the sound of the keys that seemed to be about to break the air, and took a step forward so that the blue light on the phone screen shone farther away.

On the other side, the black pressed piece is not the black of the wall, but has a thick shadow, a vague piece, varying in height and shape, but even if it is not clear to see, Xiao Xia can still tell that it is a lot of human figures, judging from the appearance, it seems to be - many children!

The blood squeezed her heart, making it impossible for her to breathe, and a thought slowly expanded in her heart. Her legs were weak, as if she would fall to her knees if she took another step, but she still involuntarily rubbed forward.

The figure of a small child broke into her eyes!

About five or six years old, the girl had neatly combed hair, but her clothes were crooked, the buttons were not buttoned, and the shoes were not worn on the right and left feet. She was leaning against the wall, in a strange pose, as if reaching out for a hug.

Her skin, hair, and eyes looked as if they were real people, but her expression was glazed, her eyes did not blink, she just looked straight and hollowly ahead, motionless, quieter than wood!

For a moment, Natsu was a little unsure whether it was a real person or a puppet, so she forced herself to reach out and gently touch the little girl's face and hair. At the touch of the touch, she was so frightened that she immediately withdrew her hand, because the feeling of the tips of her fingers told her that this was a real child, but it was also a soulless doll, that is, this was a real doll!

Shocked, Xiao Xia moved her phone to look to the side. I saw that there was a child next to this child, and then there was a rough photo with a mobile phone, there were more than a dozen, more women and fewer men, and each child was in a state, as if the soul had been sucked away, and only the body remained!

These are the missing children, right?

What does that feel like? Konatsu can't describe it. If in a normal state, a person is surrounded by many innocent children, it should be a very happy thing, but at this moment in this dark basement, seeing them as cold as corpses, but staring at her with wide eyes, no breathing, no laughter, she feels cold from the bottom of her heart, very scared, this most fragile and soft human has become the most terrifying demon!

One next to the other, there were two or three floors, and they stayed in the corners on both sides of the wall where Xiao Xia had sit, or stood or sit, but the middle of the whole wall was empty, as if waiting for Xiao Xia to fill in, as if this room was not a basement, but someone's toy shelf, and these children and Xiao Xia were toys placed on it!

was placed on the shelf, Xiao Xia had experienced it, but it was just a soul attached to the body of a porcelain doll, and at this moment, all the 'dolls' were real people, and it felt even more terrifying!

In a blink of an eye, a familiar face appeared in front of Xiao Xia's eyes.

It's Zhang Jialin! She was standing in the outermost part of the corner on the other side, in the same outfit as Xiao Xia had seen, except that all the real dolls were all open, only she was tightly closed!

The last few times Zhang Jialin attacked them, they all appeared in illusory images, although they were transformed into Zhang Jialin's appearance, they were actually one of the two demon boys, according to Ruan Zhan's investigation, it was likely to be the virgin who accompanied the burial. For this reason, Xiao Xia has always suspected that Zhang Jialin, the first child to go missing, has died because of unbearable torture. Now seeing that this little girl's body is clearly in front of her eyes, she can't help but want to go forward and confirm it.

The fingertips are cold, the breathing is cut off, and like other children, Zhang Jialin has no 'abnormality'. But from a medical point of view, if the human body does not breathe for a period of time, it will cause brain damage, and there will be other physical injuries, so are these children dead or alive? If they are dead, then the children now are human skin dolls, although they have human bodies, but they do not have human souls; If they are still alive, then when they defeat the pair of demon boys and rescue these children, will they still be able to live normally?

"I'm here!" Zhang Jialin suddenly spoke, and her eyes opened suddenly, so frightened that Xiao Xia took a step back and sat on the ground, and the mobile phone lost its light at this time.

In the darkness, soft footsteps sounded, as if something was coming towards her. She hurriedly pressed the button again, and sure enough, in the blue light, she saw Zhang Jialin standing in front of her, and her little face was even more weird and gloomy by the blue light.

"I don't like this body!" She added.

No, although Zhang Jialin was standing beside her, she didn't move her mouth when she spoke, and it didn't look like a voice coming from her abdomen, and the voice obviously came from behind her!

Xiao Xia quickly got up and turned around!

I saw that on the wall behind her, that is, on the wall with the gate, a black shadow walked down from it, as simple as walking down the steps, and stepped on the ground in one step!

The shadow also looked like a five- or six-year-old child, with two buns on his head like little sheep's horns, a torn red shirt and pants, and an ornament on his chest that couldn't tell what texture it was, like a longevity lock or something, and there was an obvious stain on the corner of the clothes, somehow, Xiao Xia thought it was because she had smeared the moss on the wall just now!

The little shadow approached step by step, but her face was still dark and unclear, it seemed to have rotted, emitting a strange smell, not only stinking, but also the smell of medicine, lavender, and wet mud!

At this time, Xiao Xia couldn't care about her being able to see through what she was thinking, so she ripped off the talisman and held it in front of her, "Don't come here!" She screamed!

"That didn't work for me!"

Natsu shuddered! Who said that fierce things are terrible, and the most terrible things in the world are incongruous things, such as a child's body with adult eyes, just like a child; There is also a childish voice with a cold tone, just like the one in front of you!

"Come on, then!" Natsu's anger outweighed fear.

With a 'bang', a gust of wind blew in the closed basement for no apparent reason. The wind was so cold that it blew on Xiao Xia's body, and it immediately made her whole body feel a biting chill of falling into the ice river, and she couldn't help but tremble her teeth.

"Lock you up for ten or eight days, and your amulet will have no holy light. After all, this is not a treasure, but it is only with the mana and telekinesis above that it can protect you. "But I can't wait, because in ten or eight days, you'll be so hungry that your skin will shrink, and that's not going to be easy!" ”

Xiao Xia was shocked! Was she going to skin herself?

Instinctively, in the face of the approach of the little black shadow, she stepped back step by step until her back was against the wall.

"Don't worry, I don't want your skin, I want your skin." When there was no amulet to block her thoughts, Xiao Xia no longer deliberately concealed her intentions, and the little black shadow began to read her heart again, "I'm more than three hundred years old, I can't always look like a child, don't you say?" Only the skin can't support the soul, so I want you. ”

It turns out that what this little banshee wants is her body! But why her?

"You're not pretty, but my brother likes it." The little banshee suddenly changed her tone and said in a buzzing voice, "Besides, I don't want you to have a skin, I'll prepare a few more 'clothes'!" She laughed heartily as she spoke, and only her 'giggling' could be heard in the entire empty space.

Xiao Xia imagined that she and all kinds of other women were hanging in this basement like clothes, waiting for the little banshee to use them at any time, cold sweat came down, and a strong desire to resist rose in her heart.

"But I really want to have my own body like my brother and grow up slowly!" The little banshee sighed faintly, with infinite sadness and helplessness in her tone, which sounded sad and frightening in this environment.

"Go reincarnated!" Xiao Xia replied, remembering the Jizo King Bodhisattva, and just remembered the previous sentence, he was interrupted again.

"Reading his name makes no sense to me at all, I haven't been to him, he can't control my side!" The little banshee suddenly became fierce, and waved her hand at Xiao Xia, and a yin wind hit Xiao Xia directly, although most of it was blocked by the light emitted by the talisman instantly, but the aftermath that swept on her arm still made her feel the pain like a knife scraping. But at this moment, a thought flashed through her mind, which attracted her attention more than the physical pain.

She just said 'her brother'? Is it a child? She said that her brother could grow naturally, and when Zhang Zixin died, Lu Yan was pregnant, could it be that the child was born a ghost child? But according to the folk saying, a person has a soul since birth, so what is the soul of a child? Why didn't this little banshee become a ghost boy?

"No one gave me a chance to go to reincarnation, so I don't want to go now!" The little banshee was still resentful, and she didn't pay attention to what Xiao Xia was thinking, "No one can manipulate me anymore!" ”

"I sympathize with you. But you have gone from being a victim to being a victim. Xiao Xia knew that persuading the little banshee with such a heavy grievance would definitely not have much effect, but in order to gain time, she still said this, and at the same time pressed the button again with the hand holding the mobile phone, ensuring that it would not make this room dark for an instant, "The unreasonable one does not exist, you are making trouble for yourself!" ”

"Idiot!" The little banshee said contemptuously, "I don't understand why my brother wants to marry you!" ”

Marry her?! What's going on?

The first time I talked to one of the two culprits of this incident, one message after another made Xiao Xia unacceptable for a while, but none of the information scared her more than this! Is the brother the little banshee said really a child? But he's only five years old, no, no, he's more than three hundred years old! But even if he is 3,000 years old, what does this have to do with her? Why did you choose her? Why did both of them choose her? Was she particularly unlucky, or was there something she didn't know existed?

Xiao Xia's mind was confused for a moment, and she couldn't digest these situations, and just when she was stunned, the little banshee took a step forward to get closer to her, but the light of the amulet stopped her again.

This made her very angry, and after snorting coldly, she turned her hand back and pointed at those children!
