Chapter 381: The Hunt Begins
"He Ziwu !!"
The little boy's screams followed, and a pitch-black face emerged from his face.
That's the 'shadow'.
However, in the face of the little boy's roar like a ghost, I used to have a headache, but now I am like a fool, showing a smile.
Then, the whites of the eyes slowly turned red.
My smile became cruel.
"The hunt begins."
Strange words came out of my mouth, and if you listened closely, you would see that my voice was exactly the same as that of the 'shadow'.
Or rather, my voice is almost indistinguishable from that of a ghost.
I saw a crack in the corner of my mouth, and then, faintly, I could see that the crack on my face actually grew one white object after another.
If you look closely, you will see that these white objects are actually fingers!
Fingers slowly reached out from the cleft in the corner of my mouth, and then ten fingers reached out to the sides, digging deeper at the wound near the corner of my mouth.
In an instant, the wound on my face was split straight to my ear.
But instead of blood, there were larger, denser fingers!
The corners of my mouth were the same, and my fingers kept scratching at my face, causing more wounds.
And when the wound reappears, more fingers crawl out of it.
"You...... What are you. Stuff! ”
I stood there quietly, but the look on my face made even the 'shadow' feel terrified.
Hearing the sound of the 'shadow', I slowly raised my head and walked slowly towards the shadow.
In the face of my heavy steps, even the terrifying ghost 'Shadow' couldn't help but scream in horror.
"You...... Don't come here! ”
The 'Shadow' wanted to escape, but everything around him had been sealed, and there was no way for him to escape.
Just as the 'shadow' realized that it couldn't escape no matter what, it turned its head and saw that my figure was already standing quietly behind it.
My face was now full of those weird, pale fingers, and the features of people were all gone.
Only pale fingers waved in front of the 'shadow'. Pale fingers slowly reached out towards the 'shadow', who tried to struggle, but to no avail.
At some point, Shadow realized that his body was no longer able to move.
But this is an almost impossible thing to do in someone who has become a terrible ghost.
It's like fear shouldn't be on the shadow either.
There is only one possibility.
The Shadow looked at the fingers that were close to its face, and the closer it got, the more the Shadow could feel the source of the desperate fear that made the ghosts.
I saw that on my fingers, a mouthpart with sharp teeth slowly opened.
Between the opening and closing of the round mouthparts, you can faintly see that in the bottomless abyss, there seems to be something white and slowly wriggling outward.
That is, more fingers.
The Shadow began to despair, and if it knew it was going to face such a thing now, even Shadow One wouldn't come back to help it no matter what it said.
It is better to die suddenly than in desperate fear.
Finally, the fingers slowly absorbed the 'shadow''s face, and with a few clicks, the 'shadow''s body slowly disappeared, as if it had been sucked away by something.
In the end, the most difficult ghost, the 'Shadow', was left with a black skin with human characteristics.
The pale fingers looked like a person, and as the 'shadow' disappeared, there was a swallowing movement in the middle of the fingers.
As the 'shadow' disappeared, the fingers did not retract, but slowly moved towards the periphery, giving way to the center of the face.
The facial features on my face also appeared.
"And ...... How much? ”
I smirked and said stupidly.
"And, two."
But in this space, I don't know when, there were voices that responded to me.
I didn't speak, but the voices came from me.
I saw that on the fingers around my face, the fingers were happily answering.
……
Three days later, I woke up from my bed in the Mansion of the Governor.
I rubbed my head and began to think about what had happened before I fell unconscious.
But I didn't remember anything, I could only remember, it was as if I had a strange dream.
In the dream, many fingers grew on my face.
At first, those fingers were only able to absorb the 'shadows', but in the end, they grew eyes and ears.
With my fingers all over my face, I went to help Fu Jun and Miss Chen defeat and absorb the 'shadow', but I remember the faces of Fu Jun and Miss Chen at that time.
The faces of both of them were filled with fear.
At this time, Fu Jun also walked in.
Seeing that I woke up, the prince greeted me very normally.
"Awake? Meridian. ”
I looked at Fu Jun and did not respond to his greeting.
Seeing my expression, Fu Jun asked suspiciously,
"What's wrong? What's on your mind? ”
Since the prince of the house has asked so, I also told my dream.
And also asked.
"How's the Shadow?"
Unexpectedly, Fu Jun laughed, as if he had heard some joke.
Fu Jun, who was laughing so much that he almost burst into tears, covered his stomach, and then said with difficulty.
"Ziwu, are you dreaming stupidly?"
"You wouldn't suspect that you took on the form of that finger monster and killed all the 'shadows', did you?"
"How can there be such a weird thing in this world, don't think about it in the future."
"Let me tell you, thanks to you, Miss Chen, at that time, if Miss Chen hadn't stopped those three 'shadows' alone, we would have died a long time ago."
"As for you, Ziwu, I advise you to cultivate more, and don't run around in the future. In the final battle of the Shadow, you were beaten half to death by the Shadow before you even dug up the body of the Shadow. If it weren't for Miss Chen stopping the three 'shadows' and me digging up the bodies of the three 'shadows', we would be reunited in the underworld now. ”
What Fu Jun said was so relaxed and natural that I couldn't see anything wrong with it at all.
Even if I have a little doubt in my heart now, I can't find a flaw and I can only choose to give up on this idea
Maybe it's really as Fu Jun said, my dream is just a dream.
After that, Fu Jun turned around and went to help me get some food, while I sat on the bed in a daze.
My brain went blank and I didn't know what I was supposed to do right now.
