Their fear is like an invisible hand that grips their hearts tightly and makes it impossible for them to escape.

The strange old man lay on his back in the reeds, and I lay on his back, like a well-behaved kitten, and let his breathing rise and fall to cause me to shake slightly.

I was a little confused by the silence of the strange old man, who watched the bad things happen but did not make a move, nor did he speak.

He was like an attentive observer, quietly watching everything that was happening around him.

My tentacles squirmed, as if searching for something, but all I felt was chaos.

This confusion kept me from sorting out the ins and outs of things, and I didn't know what was going on or what was going to happen next.

Suddenly, a figure slowly walked out of the darkness.

He was so eerie and terrifying, his whole body was shrouded in darkness, like a crow with a whole body black.

The sound of his footsteps echoed in the darkness, making people shudder.

When he walked out into the moonlight, the children finally recognized him.

"Zhao Rui!" A child pointed at him, shouting in a trembling voice.

Zhao Rui smiled, his smile was like an owl at night, cold and strange.

There was a faint glint in his eyes, like stars in the night sky, out of reach.

Zhao Rui pointed to the black pool, his voice was calm and indifferent: "Do you dare to jump?" ”

His question was like a bolt from the blue, instantly turning the children's faces pale.

They looked at Zhao Rui, looked at his cold smile, and the fear in their hearts was like a cold current, surging from the soles of their feet to their hearts.

They looked at the icy water, and endless fear rose in their hearts.

The children looked at Zhao Rui nervously, and they whispered as if they were discussing something.

Then, a bold child stood up, he pointed at Zhao Rui, and asked rhetorically, "Do you dare?" His voice trembled, but it was particularly firm in the dark.

Zhao Rui's smile was even brighter, his eyes flashed with a sly light, his nose was slightly upturned, and the corners of his mouth were even more upturned, as if he was teasing the world.

Beneath his smile was a deep cunning and insidiousness.

He turned his head and looked at Datou steadily, and said every word clearly: "Datou, I jumped into it to swim two days ago, didn't you see it?" ”

"Impossible! Zhao Rui, you're bluffing! A child shouted.

"That's it! Zhao Rui, this guy is a coward who only dares to bully his mother! Another child followed.

"That's right! Coward! The children echoed in unison.

"Coward!"

The children's laughter echoed in the air, like a sharp arrow, shooting directly into Zhao Rui's heart, making him unable to maintain that bright smile.

The corners of Zhao Rui's mouth drooped stiffly, and a grim expression appeared on his face.

His eyes became cold, like an abyss, and no one could read his thoughts.

His mouth was tightly closed, like a hazy sky, and one felt a deep depression.

"Big head?" Zhao Rui's voice seemed particularly cold in the silent night, like cold steel, with ruthless determination.

The big head's body shuddered involuntarily, and the majesty of his child king disappeared without a trace in an instant.

He looked at Zhao Rui tremblingly, and the fear in his heart was like a beast, tearing apart his reason.

The big head is afraid of Zhao Rui.

He was afraid of Zhao Rui's cunning, afraid of Zhao Rui's coldness, and even more afraid of Zhao Rui's heartfelt laughter.

He remembers Zhao Rui laughing when he pierced the soles of the children's feet with nails;

When he cut other people's mouths with glass ballast, Zhao Rui was laughing;

Even when he heard others screaming because of the dead frog, Zhao Rui was still laughing.

Zhao Rui's smile is not the kind of hearty laughter, but a kind of heartfelt ridicule.

His smile, like an eerie night, was full of chills.

His smile made people feel a deep unease.

His laughter is like an abyss, from which there is no escape.

Datou thought of Zhao Rui's demonic smile, and the fear in his heart swept away his reason like a torrent.

He knew that he had been caught up in Zhao Rui's conspiracy, and he couldn't escape.

He can only obey Zhao Rui, otherwise...... He remembered what Zhao Rui said when he sewed the two frogs together.

He said: "This is the end of disobedience. ”

Every time I thought of Zhao Rui's sly smile, my big head would shudder.

He even had nightmares at night.

In the dream, Datou and Zhao Rui were standing in a dark forest.

The sky was cloudy, thunder rumbled, lightning and thunder roared. Behind them was a forest, and in front of them was a gloomy swamp.

Zhao Rui stood in front of him, his familiar face looking even more gloomy in the darkness.

His eyes were like burning coals, the corners of his mouth were raised, and an eerie laugh came out of his mouth, and the sound seemed to come from hell, which was terrifying.

Behind Zhao Rui, a huge black shadow slowly rose, as if a demon was awakening.

Zhao Rui laughed and pointed at the big head, as if he was laughing at his incompetence and provoking his timidity.

The big head in the dream tried to escape, but he found that his body seemed to be restrained by something, and no matter how much he struggled, he couldn't get out of place.

His feet began to soften, as if he was sinking in a swamp.

The big head looked at Zhao Rui in horror, he tried to shout, but his mouth couldn't make any sound.

He could only watch powerlessly as Zhao Rui's laughter echoed in the darkness, which grew louder and louder, and finally turned into bursts of terrifying ridicule.

In fear and helplessness, the big head was swallowed up by the darkness.

He struggled with all his might, but no matter how much he shouted and struggled, he couldn't escape from that nightmare. Every time he would wake up in fear, covered in cold sweat and his heart pounding.

Every time he woke up, Datou would find that the dark forest, the eerie Zhao Rui, and the demonic laughter were all so real, as if he was really trapped in that nightmare and couldn't escape.

The big head gritted his teeth, barely stood firm, and shouted: "Zhao Rui is right, he ...... He jumped in and took a shower yesterday. ”

Big Head's words made all the children stunned, and they didn't know how to react for a while.

Zhao Rui still looked at the big head directly, and the sarcasm and banter in his eyes became a little stronger.

The big head swallowed his saliva, and shouted loudly again: "Jump for me, whoever doesn't jump is a coward, and I won't let everyone play with you in the future!"

This threat is undoubtedly the most effective for children under the age of ten, who are all beginning to waver a little.
