Chapter 360: Fear
I looked closely at the eye, and it was the right size, with a unique shape and a deep color. Its eyeballs are dark blue, like the deep sea, and bottomless.
Its pupils were black, like the end of the world, chaotic.
The edges of the eyes are golden, like the afterglow of the setting sun, warm and sad.
That eye was looking at me like that, and I could feel its gaze.
That gaze seemed to tell a secret, a secret that I couldn't understand. The eyes were deep and cunning, as if they were challenging me, as if tempting me to explore this unknown world more deeply.
A storm suddenly stirred up in my mind.
The deep blue of those eyes reminds me of my childhood playmate, Li Gang.
I felt dizzy in my head, as if an invisible hammer had been slammed down on the top of my head, and there was a gold star in front of me.
My mind was in a mess, and I couldn't understand why the inside of the scarecrow could be Li Gang.
Why did Li Gang appear in this place and become a scarecrow?
I couldn't understand all of this, and I felt extremely lost and afraid.
Endless memories welled up in my heart.
Li Gang and I used to run in the fields, we used to laugh in the moonlight, we used to catch small fish by the river in summer, and the warm past was like a gentle wind, gently blowing through my heart.
I remember Li Gang's mother, she always smiled and said to me kindly: "Ah Rui, you are so smart, you must study hard." ”
I remember Li Gang's smiling face, he always likes to play with me, he is always optimistic, he is always full of energy.
Those memories before the age of ten were like a hot current that passed through my brain and made me feel a deep pain.
Li Gang's eyes looked at me in horror, and his eyes were even more frightened than mine.
At that moment, my heart was full of doubts, I didn't understand, why I was in this place, why I met this scarecrow, why I saw Li Gang.
The scarecrow stood there silently, its body straight like a sculpture.
Its half-rotten carrot nose and crooked buttoned eyes make it look particularly terrifying.
And its shadow, stretched long and twisted in the moonlight, resembles an eccentric giant.
The shadow changed shape as the wind blew, as if mocking me, as if threatening me.
I looked at that shadow, and I felt great fear in my heart, I felt an oppression that I could not escape, and I felt a deep despair.
Li Gang's eyes began to roll, and I could see that they were full of fear and pleas.
I could understand what he meant, as if our hearts were wonderfully connected at this moment.
I didn't know where the strength was pouring out, and I jerked to my feet.
I shook off my fears and happily left them behind.
I grabbed the part of the scarecrow's eye socket with both hands, and then, with a sharp force, pulled it downward.
At that moment, the scarecrow's body made an incomparably terrifying sound like torn paper.
The voice was piercing and sharp, like a thousand arrows piercing the heart, making people feel frightened.
The scarecrow's body began to shatter, and the straw writhed violently like a mad snake, and then broke one by one.
The sound of the straw breaking was like a scream, painful and desperate.
The scarecrow disintegrated, shattered, and dissipated in front of me.
Its body turned into a pile of broken straw scattered on the ground, lying silently like a forgotten dream.
And when the straw was completely destroyed, it was Li Gang's body that was exposed.
He was curled up, his eyes closed, his body trembling, and he looked extremely lonely in the moonlight.
I looked at him, and an indescribable feeling welled up in my heart, regret, heartache, and anger.
Li Gang's hands and feet were nailed to the cross by cold nails, his body twisted in pain, his whole body spasmed, and sweat rained down.
His face was as pale as paper, his lips were closed, and he gritted his teeth in pain.
His mouth was open like a stranded fish, writhing in the air, tossing and turning.
His eyes were full of fear and helplessness, and in his eyes, I saw his desperation and his strength.
It was a kind of Li Gang that I had never seen, a kind of Li Gang that I had never imagined.
My hands trembled and I wanted to pull out the nails, and I wanted to do my best to save him, but the moment I touched the nails lightly, Li Gang screamed in pain.
The sound pierced the night sky, like a thousand horses roaring, filling people's hearts with fear.
I was too scared to move, I didn't dare to touch the nails again.
I felt an indescribable pain, a sense of bewilderment.
I looked at Li Gang, my heart was full of guilt and helplessness, I didn't know what I should do, I only knew that I couldn't let Li Gang suffer such pain again.
I spoke, my voice trembling: "Li Gang, what happened?" ”
My voice echoed through the air like an endless lament.
Li Gang glared in pain, his lips moved, and a few words squeezed out between his closed teeth, "Go west!" ”
His voice was so weak that I could barely hear it, but I heard it clearly.
I looked at him with doubts.
The West, what is the West?
My brain started to ache, as if I had been hit hard by something.
I pondered in a series of ways, what the hell is in the West?
The West, the West, I seem to remember that there was something very important in the West.
I stared at him blankly, my mind in turmoil.
I muttered softly, "How can I help you?" "I knew I couldn't give up on him, I had to find a way to free him.
However, Li Gang suddenly stopped screaming, and he glared at me slowly, a strange smile rising at the corner of his mouth, like a demon laughing at my powerlessness.
There was mockery and sneer in his eyes, which sent chills down my sleeve.
His fingers slowly lifted to point at me, and then he bit his lower lip hard, a painful expression on his face.
He looked at me fixedly, and his voice was full of determination: "Zhao Rui, you can't escape, this is your life!" ”
His words were like a cold dagger that pierced my heart fiercely.
My body shook instantly, I didn't understand why he said that, I don't accept such a fate, I don't accept my fate!
This can't be, this can't be Li Gang, Li Gang won't do this to me.
He had always been gentle, and he never blamed me, even if I had killed his mother indirectly.
"You're not Li Gang, you're a monster! You're a monster! ”
I looked at him, my face was full of pain and despair, and I knew that the person in front of me could not be the Li Gang I was familiar with.
