Chapter 406: Out of bounds
I felt a chill rise from my back, a chill even more terrifying than death.
It was despair, fear, helplessness.
However, at this moment, a force rose from the depths of my body.
My heart was racing and my blood was boiling in my body.
I forced myself to stand up and force myself to run forward.
I heard Zhao Rui's laughter, Gong Yiyu's mockery, and the roar of the slender black shadow chasing after me.
I ignored them, I just focused on running, I just wanted to survive.
I wanted to accelerate, but my body seemed to have reached its limit.
However, the speed of the slender black shadow was astonishingly fast, and it stretched out its long arm, which was like a dead branch, and it looked even more eerie in the darkness.
I heard the sound of its breathing ringing in my ears, it was a cold, dead breath, and it was creepy.
Looking at the palm that was getting closer and closer, I felt like I was about to be swallowed up in this endless darkness.
At the critical moment, a figure suddenly appeared from the darkness, blocking me and the slender black shadow.
He was tall and straight, with the head of a bird and a pair of piercing eyes that shone coldly.
Like a sharp sword, he plunged straight between us, blocking the arm of the lanky black shadow.
He said to the slender black shadow in a cold but firm voice, "You have crossed the line! ”
There was a warning and disdain in the tone.
His voice pierced the silent night sky and echoed through the dark forest.
I looked at him in amazement, and I realized that I knew him – Birdman.
I have seen him three times, the first time was when I met Zhang Geng, the second time was when I killed the baby ghost, and the third time he appeared to stop me from helping the midwife to bury her.
I looked at him, and his figure seemed even taller and more mysterious in the moonlight.
His eyes twinkled in the darkness like two cold stars.
I looked at him with questions in my mind.
Why does he always show up at critical moments? Who is he? And why would he help me?
However, I know that, at least for the moment, he is my only hope.
I watched him, watching him confront the lanky black shadow.
I stood still, horrified.
The silence in the night sky was pierced by his voice, like a sharp sword, piercing through the dark forest, breaking the dense silence and forming a series of echoes.
I thought we didn't share the same heaven, but in a life-or-death situation, he actually saved me!
The slender black shadow stood still, tilting its head like a bloodthirsty beast, confronting the birdman.
The birdman slowly pulled a glass bottle from his bosom, and the yellow liquid in the glass bottle shimmered eerily in the moonlight.
"What is this?" I asked, trying to suppress the fear in my heart.
"Something that can push it back." The birdman replied lightly, his voice like the wind in winter, cold and powerful.
Looking at his determined eyes and calm demeanor, I suddenly remembered what the Dream Eater Tapir had said, Luan Xi had used a yellow liquid to force back the slender black shadow.
My eyes lit up, and I knew that there was a miracle substance that could resolve the crisis.
In my heart, the flame of hope burns again, hoping that Birdman will turn things around again.
"Be careful." The birdman's voice echoed in the night sky, his gaze locked tightly on the slender black shadow, the glass bottle in his hand glittering eerily in the moonlight.
At the same time, the slender black shadow seemed to feel threatened by the birdman's movements, glaring at him fiercely, the corners of his mouth revealing a fierce threat.
I clenched my fists tightly and watched all this happen, filled with nervousness and uneasiness.
However, everything changes the moment Birdman flips over the glass bottle cap.
The yellow liquid instantly diffused, forming an aura large enough to envelop the slender black shadow, and the slender black shadow trembled in this aura, as if it had suffered great pain.
Its screams echoed through the forest.
I stared at all of this in amazement, my heart full of shock and amazement. This yellow liquid actually had such a magical power that it could make the originally fierce slender black shadow so painful and terrifying.
However, there was no trace of joy or smugness on the birdman's face, and his eyes were still locked on a slender black shadow, as if all this was expected by him.
His eyes, his demeanor, and his actions were full of indifference and firmness.
I stood still, my heart beating fast, in stark contrast to the wind in the forest.
The ebony black shadow seemed to be greatly startled when he saw the yellow liquid in the birdman's hand, and he paused for a moment before abruptly backing away.
His retreat, like a gust of wind, was swift and silent.
The darkness of the forest contrasted sharply with the departure of the slender black shadow, as if at this moment, the forest became even more terrifying because of his departure.
I turned back to look for Zhao Rui and Gong Yiyu, but they were long gone.
I don't know where they ran to, and I don't know if they're safe.
I looked back at the birdman, and I asked, "Why did you save me?" Who are you? ”
My voice trembled a little from being too nervous.
The birdman didn't answer my question, his eyes still locked into the distance, as if searching for a trace of a slender black figure.
However, his silence did not disappoint me, but made me more determined to be curious about him.
The birdman's words made me shiver like a cold winter wind blowing through my bare skin, and I felt fear that I had never felt before.
I saw in his deep eyes knowledge, wisdom, contempt for life, and deep sympathy for me.
I don't know what's going on, I just know that I'm scared right now.
I saw a deep gloom in his eyes, as if he had seen through everything, and his eyes were full of disgust and contempt for me.
I tried to hide my fears, but I knew he had seen through me.
The birdman looked at me deeply, his eyes shining with an unknown brilliance, and he sighed, "It's finally this day." Zhao Rui, you shouldn't have come. ”
My heart is beating wildly, he knows it!
He knows I'm not of this world, he knows I'm from another world!
I said, "Not what I wanted to come." ”
"Hehe," the birdman laughed, his laughter was not human, but like a crisp bird, with a bit of mockery, "By don't you mean the strange scarecrow, the goddess, the old professor and a donkey?" Or is it a strange meteorite, said to be able to drive people crazy, a strange organization, which is obviously full of celestial masters, but deliberately asks you to go to the cemetery? Or two friends who never leave? ”
