Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Killing Begins
Behind me, a gust of wind blew, I couldn't help but look back, men, women and children, a large group of people, walking towards us, my heart trembled, gritted my teeth, grabbed Huang Qin and the two of them wrists, and said quickly, "Everyone run, go back to the inn, it'll be fine!" ”
Some of them may not understand why I ran away with them, but they knew that the situation was urgent, and none of them said anything, so they followed the team and rushed forward as fast as they could.
Ahead, the figure swayed, dozens of villagers walked towards us, and I heard Ren Yanzhe's voice coming from behind, "I'll entangle them later, you run first!" ”
Zhou Monroe said, "I'll stay too!" ”
I was angry, "You have to run together, no one is allowed to stay, and then imagine them as the people you hate the most, whether it is punching or kicking, or whatever, you must rush out!" ”
You have to rush out, and no one can stay, because to stay is to die!
As we ran wildly, the villagers in front of us were getting closer and closer, and I was the first to let go of Huang Qin's hands and shouted, "Run!" ”
I rushed towards the weakest side of the guard, a boy of seven or eight years old, and without hesitation, I kicked him away, and everyone saw that I was so cruel, and they all put aside their worries, punched and kicked the villagers, and rushed out of their encirclement.
We ran wildly in front, followed by a large group of villagers, all of them with bloody heads, green fangs, and fierce eyes staring at us, chasing us, and the streets were suddenly quiet and terrible, except for our urgent and messy footsteps, heavy gasps.
Finally, as I was sweating profusely and my lungs were about to explode, the sign of the Joy Inn came into view.
"Stop them, don't let them run into the inn!"
"It's only twenty minutes, pester them, they'll be ours in no time!"
Ahead, I don't know where more ghosts poured out, they ran to the door of the inn, it seems, they wanted to keep us out, and then look at the pursuers behind, it was already close at hand, I was so anxious that my voice trembled, urging my companions to run quickly.
"Ahh
I looked back, a white miserable arm grabbed her shoulder, dragged her back hard, Ren Yanzhe quickly turned around, and a beautiful roundabout kick kicked the female ghost who grabbed Wang Xiaoya away. He grabbed Wang Xiaoya with one hand and Hu Lili with the other, dragging them forward.
Eventually, we ran to the front of the inn, but there were countless ghosts around us, all staring at us gloomily, with their hands outstretched, rushing towards us.
At this time, they have removed the obscure, Wang Xiaoya and the five finally saw their true faces, and suddenly frightened their faces, screaming again and again, seeing a pair of dry and rotten hands, about to touch their bodies, I rushed forward, blocking them behind, one hand touched my arm, the blood jade bracelet on my wrist lit up, releasing a bloody red light, and all the fierce ghosts in the front were shocked out, and a few of them touched my body, and their arms burned directly.
This scene shocked Wang Xiaoya and them, and also suppressed the group of ghosts, they didn't dare to act on their own, staring at us fiercely, and a few whispered, as if discussing how to deal with us.
At this moment, the door of the inn suddenly opened, Dong Sanniang wore a red cheongsam, walked out elegantly, glanced at the ghosts with an expressionless face, and said coldly, "You are not small, you dare to make trouble at the door of the inn!" ”
A man in a gray robe walked out of the ghosts, the flesh on his face was about to fall off, he looked like he had been dead for many years, his black eyes stared at Dong Sanniang, and said gloomily, "Sanniang, we are doing things according to the rules, as long as they walk on the street at night, they are our people." ”
Dong Sanniang sneered, "Rules? Joke! Isn't it twelve o'clock at midnight? Is it now until twelve o'clock? You dare to rob people from me, and you don't even want to do ghosts? ”
Her words were sonorous and powerful, like a bomb, blowing up those ghosts, so that they didn't dare to put a fart, and even the man in the gray robe lowered his head in disdain.
Dong Sanniang glanced at the group of ghosts blocking the door of the inn, and said sharply, "Don't let me get out of the way yet!" ”
With a bang, more than a dozen ghosts dispersed quickly like the tide, as if they were afraid that they would be scattered if they were one step late.
Dong Sanniang looked at us coldly, "You guys, hurry up and follow me into the inn." ”
I was about to take a step, I felt a heavy arm, it turned out that Huang Qin was climbing my shoulder, this girl, just now I was scared, and my legs were weak. Ren Yanzhe and I hurriedly dragged the four girls into the inn.
With a thud, the door of the inn closed tightly, and we shuddered.
Dong Sanniang turned around suddenly, her cold gaze fell on us, and she said in a stern tone, "Are you talking to the villagers?" ”
Huang Qin's faces were quite ugly, and they glanced at each other, Hu Lili raised her hand tremblingly, "We talked to an eldest sister." ”
Dong Sanniang's face was gloomy, "No wonder they will chase you, didn't they warn you, don't talk to the villagers except me?" ”
Several of them bowed their heads in shame, "for a moment...... Forgot about ......"
Dong Sanniang glanced at them, didn't accuse them again, and said coldly, "You are also fateful, and it has not yet reached twelve o'clock, otherwise I will not be able to save you." ”
My heart was full of questions, if I continued to hold back, I would be sick, and I couldn't help but ask, "Why have all the people in the town become ghosts?" Why is it that if you talk to them, you can attract hunting? Why is it that after twelve o'clock, they are able to kill people on the street with impunity? ”
Dong Sanniang looked at me coldly, "Why do you think I'm one hundred thousand?" Do you have to answer everything for you? Here, the most taboo thing is curiosity, if you put away your curiosity, follow my warning, don't do what you shouldn't do, and after a day, you can still get out of here safely, otherwise, you will wait to become one of them, wandering in this ancient town forever! ”
With that, she stopped talking to us, turned around, and walked to the back hall.
Dong Sanniang, a big living person, how did she live in this town full of evil ghosts? Why do those ghosts seem to be afraid of her?
The five of us stood in place, and after a while, Ren Yanzhe said, "It's not early, let's go back to the room and rest." ”
I jerked my spirit, quickly raised my wrist, and looked at the time, it was already eleven fifty o'clock, and it was only ten minutes before twelve o'clock, that inexplicable Qi Wenxiu should come to me!
What to do? Is it too late to ask Dong Sanniang for help now?
I said that I had something to do, and I wanted to find the proprietress and let Ren Yanzhe and them go back to the room first, they didn't say anything, they went upstairs, I hurriedly ran to the back hall to find Dong Sanniang, but I searched all over and didn't find her.
Looking at the time again, there are only seven minutes left, and it seems that there is no hope for her.
I quickly ran upstairs, pulled out a wide plaid shirt and put it on, pinned the mahogany sword to my waist and hid it, pulled Meng Meng out of bed, held it in my arms, and then sat down on the chair in front of the window, waiting anxiously.
Huang Qin came back from washing, saw me sitting in front of the window, and asked me what I was sitting there for, and I said that I couldn't sleep, sitting here to breathe.
Suddenly, I heard a miserable cry for help from the window, listening to the voice, it seemed to be Uncle Wang Gang's, I hurriedly opened the window, and looked downstairs, at least hundreds of ghosts, three layers inside and three layers outside, surrounded by three layers of ghosts, was surrounded in the center, was a man in a white shirt, in a slip of black ghosts, particularly conspicuous, he waved his hands, pushing those ghosts who approached him, but the number of ghosts was too huge, he pushed away one, and more rushed towards him, his figure was soon completely submerged in the ghostsI saw only a pair of hands, waving desperately in the air, screaming for help, and then, as if his throat had been choked, he could only make a whining sound.
At this moment, a loud bell rang out of nowhere, one by one, like a drum roaring, a total of twelve. As soon as the bell stopped, I saw a flash of cold light, blood splattered, and a human head flew out and rolled far away in the street.
At twelve o'clock, the killing began.
