Chapter 23: Monsters
But I didn't hear it.
And she didn't stop, turned around and left.
"Sisi, don't go!"
The deeper I went, the worse it felt for me, and I saw her running away and hurriedly chasing after her, but accidentally bumped into the person who came out of the alley on the left.
"I'm sorry."
I stopped, and with such a effort, Jiang Si'er was gone.
I was so anxious that I raised my foot and wanted to catch up, but I found that in the alley on the left, more than one person came out.
One by one, they blocked my way, and walked along the path in front of me, and in the darkness no one spoke, no one looked back.
I don't know who these people are, but in a place like this, when you see someone, you must be the first to come forward and ask for directions.
But before I could speak, among these people, I saw Mrs. Wang.
She and her ghost son were inside, and there were some unfamiliar faces in between, and of course, I saw a few familiar people.
And these people, all of them, have long passed away.
People who have passed away a long time ago have appeared in a town full of weirdness, and even though I don't know how they came here, I can guess that the place they went to was definitely not a good place.
And in front of them, Jiang Si'er appeared again, followed the crowd, and walked forward.
There are even some voices that are known to be heard in this alley, densely packed and numerous.
They're hidden in the dark, out of sight, but I have a gut feeling they're going to attack at any moment.
At that moment, my mind was in turmoil, and I could only use my mobile phone to make calls, all kinds of calls, as long as I could dial out, I could do it.
But the signal was full, and there was always no answer on the other end of the phone.
Despair and fear spread in the bottom of my heart.
I felt even more anxious as I watched those people disappear around the corner in front of me.
"What to do? She can't be left here alone. β
I gritted my teeth, clutched my phone, and ran forward.
At this time, my mobile phone rang suddenly, in the dark.
Breaking the deep darkness and stopping me in my tracks.
Confused, I picked up my phone, it was an unfamiliar number, but I was clamoring for me to answer it immediately.
I didn't hesitate, pressed connect, put the phone to my ear, and there was a sound of talking on the phone, but I didn't have the heart to listen.
Because in front of my vision, those people turned into black fog in the darkness and dissipated around the corner.
And at the end, in an unknown place, there was a tall and thin black figure, carrying something on his body, as if he was born with something.
Massive, dark and dull.
Reflected on the wall, it looks like a monster with teeth and claws.
And this monster is coming towards me right now!
I stepped back.
That thing is extremely fast.
In the blink of an eye, it was there.
At that moment, I quickly turned around and ran away, holding my phone tightly and shouting to the person on the other end of the call, "Help me!" β
"Miss Lin, don't be afraid."
The soft sound does not only exist in the earpiece of the mobile phone, the moment I turned around, the first thing I saw was a beautiful glass lotus lamp.
"Miss Lin, I've finally found you."
Standing in front of me, holding a lotus lantern in one hand, slowly hanging up the phone and putting it in his pocket, it was Lin Yu.
He was wearing a black robe, without an umbrella, and stood in the drizzle, his hair a little disheveled.
But in my eyes, it became the presence of light.
With almost all my strength, I ran towards him, pointed behind me and said, "There's a monster." But Silk, tooβ"
Before I could finish speaking, I suddenly felt a sense of oppression coming from behind me.
It wasn't cold, and it wasn't too close, but that terrifying aura made my last words stuck in my throat.
I was desperately shouting in my head to speak quickly, and I also ordered myself to run behind Lin Yu, but my body couldn't react, and all my attention fell behind me.
One step, two steps, three steps.
Each step is not like stepping on a hard stone brick, but stepping on the flowers, making a rustling sound.
But I didn't see any flowers or plants here.
Then, behind me, it stood still.
The sound of the rubbing of the clothes became the most piercing presence in this silent night.
My heart, too, stopped at that voice.
Then, in a panic, I raised my clenched phone and reflexively attacked without saying a word.
"Snap", my hand was held precisely.
The slight coolness of the wrist comes from the skin of the other party's fingers.
My heart sank, Lin Yu behind me didn't react, I guess he probably didn't see it, so after his hand was held, he didn't care about looking at what the monster looked like, but quickly raised his leg and kicked at the other party's body.
"Bang", I heard a muffled thud, and then, in my eye, I saw a familiar figure, thrown out by it.
Lin Yu stretched out his hand and calmly caught it.
"It's okay, I found it early." Lin Yu reached out and probed the snort of the hugging person, and said behind me, "It's hard work." β
"Hmm."
The emotionless voice, with a thick, nasal voice, sounded above my head.
"Are you Lin Tan?"
He asked me out loud.
I was originally afraid, but suddenly froze, and then realized that I thought that the monster that came to attack me was Lou Zhi himself.
And what he threw to Lin Yu was Jiang Si'er.
That's when I realized that I had made a fuss.
In the face of his inquiry, he answered in a low voice, "Yes." β
"You're kicking hard."
The sound sounded almost close to my scalp, gnashing my teeth, like a beast tearing food through its mouth.
Instantly, my scalp was numb, I raised my head, and smiled at the handsome face with the corners of my mouth twitching.
"What, if you don't make a sound, I thought it was a bad person. Instinctive self-defense, hehe......"
I was embarrassed, but I was relieved.
But the scene where he came over just now was too exciting, I was really scared, and Lin Yu's indifference, I thought it was a monster that only I could see, so I would attack.
But who knew it would hurt him so easily.
But it seems that last time, I also easily hurt him.
"Louβ"
I swallowed my saliva, and at this moment I put one hand in my trouser pocket, looking ahead, under the night, the pale pupils were covered with darkness.
"Where did I kick you? Does it hurt? Why don't I rub it for you? β
I subconsciously flattered, but his face was even darker in the unknown light, and the eyes that looked at me were as if they wanted to cut me with a thousand knives.
"It hurts? Where the hell am I playing? Let me see? I'm really sorry. β
"Poof" laughed, Lou Zhi didn't speak, but Lin Yu on the side smiled, "Miss Lin, he's very bearable, it's okay." β
"Huh?"
Lin Yu said this, as if he knew where Lou Zhi was kicked by me, but it also made it clear that he wouldn't say it.
