Chapter 34: The Shadow of the Earth

Previous Chapter

"It's just a brazier, and there's no one, let's go around the side and stay away from it."

This was said by Huang Dawei, in fact, he was very nervous when he said this, but this was the first reaction in his mind, which was equivalent to blurting out subconsciously.

Although running directly to the scene when no one is around, this is theoretically no problem, and it seems to be the best choice.

But Meng Fan was not so optimistic.

"Get closer to the past first, slow down, don't worry, stop as soon as something unexpected happens, I think things may not be so simple."

Although it seems that there is only one brazier in front of it, there seems to be no danger.

But the road has always been clear, there is nothing on the way.

At this time, a brazier appears, and the brazier itself represents something wrong, a strange thing.

Most likely, this brazier will cause them a huge crisis.

So the three of them were very careful and walked forward slowly.

When there was still about five meters away from the brazier, Meng Fan, who was walking in the forefront, paused and stopped.

As soon as Meng Fan's footsteps stopped, Li Fang and Huang Dawei behind him also subconsciously stopped.

Huang Dawei asked in a low voice, "Meng Fan, what's wrong?" ”

Meng Fan said: "Next to the brazier, there is a fork in the road! ”

Li Fang and Huang Dawei looked over carefully, and sure enough, they saw a fork in the road.

And this brazier is placed right at the crossroads.

This is a bad sign, a red flag!

The brazier was blocked at a fork in the road, and if it posed them any danger, they didn't even have a chance to hide in the fork.

This brazier is on the right side of the road, and the fork in the road is also on the right side of the road, so the three of them subconsciously lean to the left side of the road.

I've had forks in the road before, but they're all clean and bright, and there's nothing.

This time, a brazier came out, and several of them couldn't help but start to get nervous, and they didn't dare to act rashly.

Theoretically, it must be safe to walk over quickly and cross this brazier and cross this fork in the road, but this brazier that appeared for no reason brought them a sense of crisis.

If you rush forward without a brain, there is a good chance that you will be in danger.

Meng Fan carefully observed the brazier, and he found that there was nothing around the brazier, which proved that no one had added anything to the brazier.

This kind of brazier is generally burned with paper money.

If the fire is to burn all the time, you need to add paper money to the brazier from time to time, otherwise the fire will be extinguished after a while.

But no one here adds paper money to the brazier, so why does the fire keep burning?

It stands to reason that the paper money in the brazier will be extinguished when the fire is burned.

It had been a long time since they had seen the fire, and it stands to reason that the contents of the brazier had already been burned out, and the fire should have been extinguished.

Meng Fan subconsciously glanced into the fork in the road, the visibility was very low, and he could only barely see the distance of one or two meters inside.

As far as you can see, there is no one in it, nothing.

"Meng Fan, if you look carefully, there seems to be a person's shadow on the ground next to the brazier." Meng Fan heard Huang Dawei's voice behind him.

The voice is small and noticeably vibrato.

Meng Fan took a closer look at the ground, there was indeed no one next to the brazier, but there was a shadow on the ground.

If you can't see the real thing, you can only see the shadow, and you will feel that the shadow is very hazy, and it is not easy to distinguish the shadow of what it is.

At this moment, the shadow on the ground is somewhat like the outline of a person, and it is very likely that it is the shadow of a person!

There was no one on the ground, but the shadow of a man appeared on the ground.

The three of them were all scared and frightened.

Especially Li Fang, her whole body was already trembling, and her breathing became short.

Huang Dawei experienced the strange scene in the first fork in the road, and was a little calmer than Li Fang, but there was also obvious fear on his face, and his shoulders trembled a little.

Meng Fan was the calmest of them all, but he couldn't help but feel a trace of fear in his heart.

Legend has it that ghosts have no shadows, and they can only see their bodies but not their shadows.

But at this moment, a shadow appeared in front of them, but it had no body, contrary to the legendary ghost.

But no matter what the shadow was, the three of them knew that they must be in danger.

In their opinion, it seems that there is a transparent "person" who cannot see the body but can only see the shadow, and at the moment he is squatting next to the brazier and burning paper.

"What to do? Still moving forward? Huang Dawei asked a little nervously and scared.

Still moving forward?

At this time, Meng Fan was also a little confused, not knowing if continuing to move forward would trigger this shadow attack.

But it's certainly not a matter to stay here all the time, and the darkness behind them makes them dare not stay for a long time.

Suddenly, the light around them dimmed slightly.

The fire in the brazier was extinguished.

Meng Fan's pupils shrank, and he suddenly became nervous.

When the fire is extinguished, the burning of paper is over.

Of course, it is also possible that because of their arrival, the shadow stopped burning paper.

There is no doubt that the shadow has noticed them.

So what will the shadow do next?

Intuition told Meng Fan that this shadow would be unfavorable to them.

Meng Fan stared at the shadow deadly, only to see that the shadow began to move.

And the direction of movement is the three of them here.

Sure enough, the shadow was eyeing them.

"Meng Fan, that shadow is coming, what should we do, rush forward?" In Huang Dawei's view, they have no other choice but to fight to the death and rush forward.

With any luck, they might be able to get away from here, and maybe survive.

Although in Huang Dawei's own opinion, the probability of living like this is pitiful.

But there is no other way but to run.

What else can a person do in the face of a ghost besides escaping? Waiting to die?

This time it was impossible to hide in the fork in the road, first of all, the brazier was blocked at the fork in the road, and the shadow moved towards them from the direction of the fork in the road.

Second, this time the shadow seems to be more "wise", and has already stared at them, unlike the previous figure who is very sluggish, walking straight.

Seeing that Meng Fan was still standing there and not moving, with no sign of running forward, Huang Dawei was anxious.

"Meng Fan, are you stupid, why are you standing still?"

Huang Dawei's tone was a little anxious, more fearful.

In his opinion, Meng Fan has always been calmer than himself, and his concentration is stronger than himself, so he shouldn't be stunned at this time, right?

Li Fang followed behind Huang Dawei, even more nervous and frightened at the moment.

She was actually the most feared of the three, because it was the first time she had come into contact with such a strange thing head-on, as if it was a legendary ghost!

Meng Fan took a deep breath, didn't look back, turned his back to Huang Dawei and Li Fang and said: "Now is not the time to run, you will still be staring at running now, wait until I let you run, you will run again!" ”

In fact, Meng Fan is more experienced than Huang Dawei and Li Fang, and he knows very well that it is useless to be targeted by this kind of thing.

It should even be said that ordinary people are targeted by this kind of thing, and they are dead.

The shadow was originally about seven or eight meters away from them, but as the shadow moved, the distance became closer and closer. Seven meters.

Six meters.

……

One meter.

When the shadow was only one meter away from Meng Fan and them, Meng Fan stretched out his right hand.

His right hand turned black in an instant.
