Chapter 34: The Battle

At night, the meadow is very quiet, except for the faint chirping of cicadas not far away. The crescent moon was evident in the sky. Next to the moon, it was as if a star suddenly brightened and then disappeared immediately.

Out of the darkness of the meadow jumped a white rabbit, and stayed there, motionless. Its eyes were fixed on one place, and there seemed to be something that made it very afraid.

Suddenly, a water ghost crawled up to it. The rabbit shuddered, turned backwards, and jumped back into the darkness.

Although those water ghosts did not give them handcuffs and other things that restricted their movements, there were hundreds of water ghosts around them, and there was a high-level dead thing behind them, and it was difficult to escape.

First of all, Guo Yuan gave Nanmen Heng a look, and Nanmen Heng instantly understood. "Prepare to Escape"

Nanmen Heng nodded, stopping Pingping, that family and Wu Yunfei to prevent them from moving forward. Subsequently, Zhuge Yuan and Guo Yuan also stopped. And they stood there.

The surrounding water ghosts and the dead creatures behind also stopped when they saw this situation.

Wu Yunfei looked at Nanmen Heng and didn't say anything. Instead, the five people in the middle closed their eyes and made a puzzled expression towards Nanmen Heng. One of the children in that family wanted to take off the earbuds, but was stopped by Wu Yunfei.

The dead thing behind them still had a wicked grin, and it must have felt that they would not escape anyway.

Guo Yuan glanced at the four people of Nanmen Heng, and then took out something similar to a grenade from his waist and smashed it on the ground while the dead thing behind him was not paying attention.

For a moment, a large amount of smoke emanated from that thing. Nanmen Hengzhi knew Guo Yuan's escape plan, but because of the smoke, Nanmen Heng had to cover his mouth and nose. Calm down and that family also smelled the peculiar smell of smoke bombs and covered their mouths and noses.

In the smoke, Jiang Zizi took out a box from his bag according to Guo Yuan's instructions. Jiang Zizi put the box on the ground, and the middle of the box was opened, and a blue line was sent out from both sides, surrounding Nanmen Heng and his party. Finally, when the two points intersected, this place became a hollow, and Nanmen Heng and his party fell heavily underneath.

Wu Yunfei shouted, rubbed his buttocks, and looked up at his head, the hole was long gone.

"Where are we?" Wu Yunfei asked.

"We're just under the place where we were standing. Jiang Zizi explained.

"This can only help us for a while, the dead thing will soon find us, now hurry up! At this time, he calmed down and opened his eyes, and after seeing that there was no danger, he also took off the earplugs. And then the same happened to the family.

"You ......," Zhuge Yuan said.

"Forget it, it's still annoying to close your eyes and wear earplugs, and now there are no dead things, so it doesn't matter. ...... Listen, I'll let you put it on later, and you must obey my orders!" Guo Yuan said to them loudly, "We can only flee now." Kindness...... Go this way!"

At the same time, on top of them.

The dead creature looked a little startled, and walked over to where they had just stood, looking around.

"Where are they hiding?" the dead creature shouted.

The surrounding water ghosts felt that it was already a little angry, and took a few steps back.

"Hmph! Looks like I'm underestimating them! You guys! Hurry up and find me! I'll look for them with my ghost eyes, and I'll catch them!

Nanmen Heng observed his surroundings as he ran. There are neat and standardized rectangles on the ground, surrounded by yellow lines. It was empty, and there was nothing left but a few supporting pillars.

Nanmen Heng saw that there were still a few posters on the pillar, but they were all in tatters. The two posters that Nanmen Heng saw before were just advertisements, and there were no clues. When he saw the third poster, the three big words "parking lot" came into the eyes of Nanmen Heng.

Nanmen Heng immediately asked, "This used to be a parking lot?"

The old man gasped and replied, "Well, but ...... But it's been abandoned for five or six years. ”

"It's been five or six years...... "Nanmen Heng said, "what made it abandoned?"

“emmmm...... I don't know, after all, I was still working outside at the time, and I just came back in the past few years. But I've encountered this water ghost once. The old man sighed.

"What do you say?" asked Nanmen Heng.

"Hey...... How many years ago, when I was almost 10 years old, the whole village was slaughtered by water ghosts, and then a Taoist priest came and sealed them in that river. He said that no living person should be allowed to enter the river, or the seal would be lifted. ”

Nanmen Heng knew in his heart that the so-called Taoist priest was a ghost.

Zhuge Yuan gave Nanmen Heng a glance at this time, and Nanmen Heng shuddered, and understood in his heart why there were water ghosts.

"This rule is well followed, and I didn't hear anyone enter the river during my time in the field. But there's a little bit of a hiccup in between. "More than 20 years ago, there was a madwoman in our village who seemed to want to drag a traveler into the river, but fortunately we stopped it, otherwise it would ......."

"Did that crazy woman die miserably, her whole body almost exploded. Nanmen Heng quickly answered.

"Uh...... Yes, she died a terrible death. The old man was stunned and asked, "How do you know?"

Nanmen Hengzhi can presume that this traveler is his father, the soul of Nanmen. Nanmen Heng didn't ask more about this matter, but asked a different question: "Then what happened to the innkeeper who received the traveler at that time?"

The old man turned around and looked at Nanmen Heng with a surprised expression, and said, "Husband, he hasn't come back since he took them to the desert, and these travelers were only a little injured, but he didn't come back." And the wife became a widow. But she is very optimistic, and she is still alive and well, and her body is tough. ”

Nanmen Heng felt strange and thought: This description is not like the woman I saw, but I clearly remember that she was the one who pushed me into the water, and she showed a weird smile when she left.

"Are you sure it's her?" asked Nanmen Heng rhetorically.

"Sure. The old man replied in the affirmative.

Could it be that someone pretended to be her and deliberately murdered me in her name?

On the grass above the head of the South Gate.

The dead thing was anxiously searching for Nanmen Heng, and to its strange surprise, it couldn't see any trace of them with its dead eyes.

"Where, where, where has it been?" said the dead creature to himself.

It stood in one place and stopped, looking into the darkness. Whether you look forward or backward, or left or right, it's just darkness.

"No way! They won't have the ability to hide their heat!

At this moment, a water ghost came running from a distance. It ran up to the dead thing and said something to it.

"Rubbish!" shouted the dead thing.

But now, in front of its eyes, some colors have appeared that are different from the dark.

"Heat, you, go away!" the dead creature ordered the water ghost to leave. The dead thing looked down at the ground, and the colors became more and more distinct.

"Hmph, I can't imagine you running underground, no wonder I can't find you......" The dead creature sneered.
