Chapter 25: Hell Town
The original word "dog", under the light of the sun, gradually revealed its original face.
Hell Town.
Those two words, at all times, seem very scary.
Black and white, yet bloodthirsty and crazy.
The splendor under the scorching sun seemed to have dimmed a lot because of the appearance of these two words, and thick clouds rolled in, obscuring the light of the sun.
It also hides the shadow under our feet.
The lotus lantern in my hand, the lamp that the wind could not extinguish, was almost completely extinguished at that moment.
"Be sure to go out before the lights go out."
Before leaving, Lin Yu instructed me so.
Now, even though there is no wind, the lights are flickering and will be extinguished at any moment.
Black undercurrents, out of sight, are quietly surging towards us.
I couldn't see anything, but a cold snap came from the soles of my feet.
I tightened the bamboo pole of the lotus lantern, looked at the city gate in front of me, and stretched out my hand backwards.
"Sisi, time is running out, we have to run, fast, hold my hand and get out of here."
I shouted, but Jiang Si'er didn't hold my hand.
"Silky?"
I felt a sigh in my heart, and immediately turned around, leaving only a colorful suitcase behind me, and Jiang Si'er didn't know where to go.
"Silk!"
There was nothing but me, and a suitcase, in the huge square behind me.
Jiang Si'er is gone.
There was no one in the town as the other tourists.
Only the suitcase, left alone there.
I stood in place, my heart was beating faster, Jiang Si'er was wearing a pair of low-heeled leather shoes today, and when she walked, there would be a sound, but I didn't hear any sound just now, and she was gone.
It shows that she didn't go by herself, she was taken captive.
Of course, it cannot be ruled out that she took off her shoes and left on her own.
But I believe that Jiang Si'er, she is not a person who will do this deliberately for the sake of play.
Moreover, the oncoming breeze was mixed with wet moisture, which blew on the face, and it unexpectedly hurt.
Gradually, the wind became stronger and stronger, the water vapor became more and more, and the lotus light in my hand became weaker and weaker.
I knew I should run away, but I couldn't leave Jiang Si'er behind.
Gritting my teeth, I took a step deeper into the town.
At that moment, the slow wind and water vapor suddenly became violent in an instant, snorting on the face, and the pain was terrible.
I reached out and wiped my face, but before my hand could fall, I noticed a breath approaching behind me.
The breath is not strong, hidden in feng shui, but ignores the ground.
The carved flower pattern on the stone bricks on the ground shook slightly in the direction I was standing.
It was obviously a dead thing, but it moved, and I was reminded of the Manju Sawa on the path of no return last night.
So I took a step forward to wake up, and when the attack behind me came to my eyes, my body was short, and the bamboo pole of the lotus lantern in my hand flipped half a circle under the palm of my hand, turning into a lamp for me, and the tip of the bamboo pole was aimed at my back.
The lotus lantern flickered, but it still persisted.
I took advantage of the tendency of my short body to retreat sideways, and the bamboo pole in my hand stabbed that way.
With a thud, the strength of my hand failed, and I should have been stabbed, but I didn't feel after being stabbed.
It wasn't until my body remained steady that I saw what was behind me.
A black mist, a black mass like smoke.
Floating in front of me in broad daylight, I couldn't see what was inside, but the top of the bamboo pole, after piercing the black mist, was partially scorched.
I looked down at the charred part, which was still clinging to the droplets.
"What are you?"
This thing doesn't look like a human, and it's not something I've ever encountered, could it be that it took Jiang Si'er away?
"Where did you take Silk?"
It didn't speak, a huge black mist, floating in front of me, motionless, and not attacking again.
I didn't know what it was going to do, but I was the one who suffered from such a confrontation, so I gradually stepped back, grabbed the handle of the suitcase, and planned to flee to the store at any time.
But before I could act, I heard two loud bangs, sounding nearby.
On the edge of the black mist, I saw that a huge stone gate appeared at the gate of the town, which was originally open.
The stone gate seals the entrance.
And the lotus lamp in my hand was also extinguished in an instant at that moment.
At the same time as it was extinguished, the whole town, the sun overhead, dissipated most of it, leaving only a hazy sky, and then a light rain began to fall.
The light rain was dripping, not big, dripping on the body, but it was very cold.
"The door is closed, and I can't get out."
In the black mist, a vague voice suddenly sounded, and it was impossible to distinguish between men and women.
After saying this, it was scattered by the raindrops of light rain and disappeared.
I stood in the dark, the rain soaked the stone bricks on the ground, and the patterns on the stone bricks slowly rose to the point under the moisture of the rain.
The spikes quickly grew and sprouted, and finally turned into flowers, red and bright manzhu sawa.
The gates were opened all over the place behind me, as far as the eye could see.
From a distance, it looks like the entrance of Huangquan Road.
I looked around the town, and there was no obvious change in the buildings, but I could feel that this place was different from the town I was in before, and it had become much more depressed.
The originally smooth way back turned into Jiang Si'er's disappearance, and I landed in a strange town.
I shivered in the rain, and finally I could only carry my suitcase, hold the extinguished lotus lantern, and go to the hotel upstairs according to the memory in my mind.
Along the way, there was a drizzle everywhere, the ground was full of manju sawah, and the water of the moat flowed more rapidly than before.
I didn't see a single person, the phone was the same as the last time, there was a signal, but I couldn't dial anyone.
The mist from the rain made me a little confused.
I remember that it didn't take long to walk from the city gate to the hotel, but I walked for a long time, so long that my legs were sore, and I didn't see the familiar place.
The mist was getting bigger and bigger, I was all wet, and the chill was coming, and I rubbed my vision blurred by the rain and saw the familiar sign in front of me.
"It's here, it's finally been found."
I was overjoyed.
Inexplicably, when encountering this situation, the first reaction is to find Lou Zhi.
Although he was blind and probably didn't remember me again, I don't know why, but I felt a reassuring aura about him.
I tightened the towbar of my suitcase and trotted forward.
Seeing that I was about to arrive at the door of the hotel, I also seemed to be in the mist, seeing the figure of Lou Zhi, the moment I stepped out.
The feet are empty.
I tried to retract it, but my left foot slipped and the whole person fell forward uncontrollably.
The mist dissipated in front of my eyes at that moment, and I saw the road ahead, and at some point, it turned into a river.
And I, I'm falling.
"Help!"
In the panic, I threw my hands around, screaming for help, and thinking about what to grab.
There is nothing around.
But my hand really caught something.
I had a strong desire to survive, and at that moment, no matter what it was, I just held it with both hands, trying to balance the fall of my body.
But, it didn't work.
