Chapter 13: Candles

This blow with the element of gambling hit the target in the darkness solidly.

The blow succeeded, and the awakening did not retreat, because there was no way to retreat here, so since there was no escape, then no matter what things were faced, they could only bite the bullet.

Running away with unrealistic fantasies is not his style.

Although he couldn't see anything in front of him, he could still tell the approximate location by the sound of the man on the ground before.

Awakening, who had already made up his mind, lifted his chair again, took a step forward, and slammed it down.

Bang bang bang.

The dull collision came again and again, until the chair in his hand was overwhelmed and fell apart.

After making sure there was no movement under his feet, he gasped and reached for his pants pocket.

Maybe it's because of the excessive force, the power of the force just now made Su Xing feel that the muscles of his two forearms are trembling a little uncontrollably.

"Where's my phone?"

Now the only light source that can be thought of is the flashlight that comes with the mobile phone, and perhaps the light can dispel the surrounding black fog.

Without vision, everything is passive.

The phone was pulled out, the screen could light up normally, and that little bit of shimmer could see at least something.

Light up the flashlight.

The faint light was limited from spreading, as if the black fog had a shielding function, and even light could not easily penetrate it.

"Why is there only this bit of brightness? Forget it, it's better than nothing. ”

He cursed in his heart, and then pointed the light at the place where he had knocked down the man earlier.

The man's head on the ground was bleeding, and the side of his temple was still deeply sunken, this kind of injury was estimated to be impossible to live if it was placed on an ordinary person, but he woke up and knew that this thing was not a living person, it was not even weird, he might just be an evil thought in a memory fragment.

Sure enough, the man who had been lying motionless on the ground a moment ago got up this time as if nothing was happening, and he staggered to his feet against the horrible wound, with a grim smile on the corner of his mouth.

Under the light, the thing the man was carrying in his hand was no longer a belt, but a firewood knife that he had touched at some point.

"Why do this to me? Dad is really sad, but I will forgive you for whatever you do, because I love you. As long as you don't leave, I can promise you anything. ”

As he spoke, the man's lowered eyes looked at his awakened legs. His intentions are already self-evident.

"Who are you dad? I'm your father, ......

I don't take advantage of others on my lips, but I have begun to lie in my heart.

Damn, how the hell is this thing going to be hit? Ordinary physical means don't seem to work.

Wake up now has 10,000 alpacas galloping in her heart, and even thinks that she is so familiar with the police station, why didn't she bring the guy in by the way.

But this kind of unrealistic fantasy can only be yy for a while.

While my thoughts were rolling, I suddenly felt a chill hit behind me.

Wrong! There's something behind me.

Subconsciously dodged, the light shone on, and sure enough, I saw a skinny thing like a monkey lying on the beam of the house after a failed sneak attack, and roaring sharply with its eyes closed.

It's this thing again.

Taking advantage of the awakening's attention, the man with the woodcutter took the opportunity to pounce, and the rusted machete was aimed straight at the awakening's thigh.

He didn't want to kill the target directly, but to leave the person behind, feeling despair and helplessness to the greatest extent.

Continue to move your body, and dodge again dangerously.

In the panic, one of them almost fell to the ground without standing firmly.

After dodging the attack, he pulled away a little, but the lights on his phone began to flicker intermittently.

Could it be that real-world items can't be used here? The same is true for the first time in the weird world.

If that's the case, that's a real problem.

After the phone screen goes black, there is no light source to see the surroundings clearly.

In the dark, even if you want to resist, it is just a pointless struggle.

Will it die? Or will it be left here forever?

Although this is a reflection of Chen Xin's memory, it is still a strange world in the final analysis.

It's like the layers of dreams in the Inception in the movie, if you die here, or stay too long, you will lose yourself and never go back.

Despite the struggles, the air of despair still slowly gripped his heart.

Wake up and constantly observe the surroundings, keep calm in order to have a clear mind, at this time panic will only accelerate death, and calmly look for opportunities or have a glimmer of life.

Since it is a strange world, there must be a "door" to connect back to reality

Just like the last time in the clinic, this door may be hidden in unexpected places, or it may not be a universally defined door at all, but no matter what form it takes, it is certain that the door that connects reality and the strange world must exist.

But how many doors are there, which one could it be? Blind one? The odds are too small for the phone light to open the second door.

And I vaguely feel in my heart that these doors are not the right way to return to reality.

Click.

It seems that I have stepped on something.

The vigilant one did not look down directly, but used the afterglow.

The man not far away was still standing there with a smirk, he knew very well how difficult this young man was, so he waited for the last light to disappear.

Remove the soles of your feet, and underneath them is a candlestick that has been broken by yourself.

There is also a white candle on the candlestick.

The candles, yes, should be able to hold on for a while, but if you can't go back, it's a big deal to light this place.

If you don't give me a way to live, then everyone won't live.

There was also a half-box of matches scattered on the ground next to the candlestick.

I don't have a habit of smoking, so I don't have a lighter on my body, and if I want to light a candle now, I can only use matches on the ground.

However, a considerable part of these matches were wet with an unknown liquid on the side, and it was difficult to know if they could still be used.

But now is not the time to hesitate, the moment he sees the matches and candles, he has actually taken action.

Drop your phone and reach for the match on the ground.

The interval between darkness in the flickering of the lights grew longer and longer.

And every time the mobile phone light turned on stubbornly, the deformed man with the machete took a step closer.

Whoa—

The head of the match slashed across the matchbox's paper, but instead of a single flame, the fragile head was broken.

This one doesn't work!

Whoa—

Neither will this one!

Unfortunately, I tried several in a row and there was no response.

At this time, the light of the mobile phone had not been lit again for more than a breath.

Something was crawling up on his back, and the temperature around his body was rapidly dropping.

There seemed to be countless insects coming out of the clutter under him, and the sound of crunching joints moving was clear to the ears.

They're converging on themselves.

The man with the machete hadn't moved yet, but he woke up and knew that he was probably standing in front of him now, staring at him with a smile on his face.

In the dark, the body temperature is rapidly draining, as if it has been thrown into the freezer, and the limbs begin to slowly stiffen and lose consciousness.

I took out another one from the box, changed it to one side, found the right angle, and gently stroked it hard.

The sudden light of the fire carried a hint of warmth, and its swaying body dispelled the black fog around it.

Without the slightest hesitation, the faint light of the flame was pressed towards the wick of the candle.

Orange firelight illuminates the surroundings.

All the strange noises are gone.

There are no swarms of poisonous insects gnawing at his feet, and there is nothing strange on his back, and when he looks around, he doesn't see a man.

It's as if everything just now was just a fantasy. They never existed.

Anyway, I was finally able to catch my breath.

Pick up the candlestick that was broken by yourself, put the phone back in your pocket, and slowly stand up.

"This candle ...... It seems a bit difficult. ”

He didn't think that everything was wrong with his head, and if he thought about it, all the weirdness disappeared the moment the candle was lit.

Could it be that this thing can dispel weirdness and dispel illusions?
