An alley in the village.

The fog is like a wall, and the visibility is extremely poor.

The black-clothed messenger and observer stopped talking, and looked at the four figures walking out of the fog with a solemn expression.

Their eyes had been ripped out, and their faces were covered with purple-black blood.

Among these four figures, two are not unfamiliar to the two of them.

The only child on the far left, though the black-clad messenger and observer had not seen it with their own eyes, had heard Dalton Seth peek through the crack in the door as he had gathered at Dalton Seth's lodgings last night to discuss the matter.

A child with a striking black mole on his neck knocking on the door in the middle of the night!

I don't know why, he actually appeared in the daytime, or in such a weird and terrifying way.

And the figure on the far right, in his thirties, dark and thin, is the body that Dalton Seth used in this village, villager Xinchun!

Last night, Shinharu involuntarily opened the wooden door after the child knocked on the door.

The black-clothed messenger and observer slipped through the earthen window behind the house at the last moment, and successfully escaped, but they didn't have time to save Shinharu who opened the door.

Later, after the two of them ran into the observer's house in the village, Shinharu appeared outside the observer's house like a shadow, and his eyes were also gouged out, knocking on the observer's door!

Of the four people, two have problems, and the other two strange villagers are estimated to be in a similar situation.

Definitely watch out for these four people!

At this moment, the four of them could not see the black-clothed messenger and observer, but they lined up side by side, firmly blocking the way of the two.

Eight arms scratched in mid-air, and as they moved, the thick mist was stirred, flowing and stirring like a stream of water, bringing a wet, cold touch.

The four of them didn't say a word, and every time they took a step, they would carefully grope for every inch of space around them, as if they were afraid of missing some important clues.

Click, click, click...... The sound of subtle footsteps is dense and clear.

Little by little, four figures were approaching the black-clad messenger and observer.

When the two realized this, their faces changed slightly, and they turned their heads and ran without hesitation!

However, they didn't run a few steps, and immediately found that the distance between themselves and the four people whose eyes had been gouged out was not widened, but was getting closer and closer!

The direction in which they fled was the same direction in which the four of them were.

Not right!

It seems that there is a lot of traffic, and they can go in any direction, but in reality, there is only one direction, no matter which way you go.

Only forward!

It's a one-dimensional world!

The black-clad emissary and observer immediately stopped.

The observer said in a low voice, "Those four people have a big problem. ”

"If you get caught, you might become one of them."

"But we're in a straight line with the four of them now."

"Both sides can only move forward, not backward!"

"If you want to leave now, you have to think of a way!"

The black-clothed messenger was silent, as if he was thinking about something quickly.

Step, step, step......

The four groped their way forward, getting closer and closer.

Eight arms slashed in midair, about to touch the hem of the black-clad messenger and observer's clothes.

At this time, the black-clothed envoy finally thought of something, and quickly said: "I once heard that in the chess of Huaguo, before the soldiers cross the river, they can only move forward, and cannot move in any other direction. ”

"But when you cross the river, you can go sideways!"

"Our current situation is like that of a soldier who has not crossed the river, and if you want to leave, you have to cross these four people."

"Let's rush over!"

"Try not to let their hands touch!"

As he spoke, the black-clothed messenger kicked the ground heavily, and the whole person jumped out violently, rushing to the side of the four.

The observer immediately followed.

Sensing the approach of the two, Lu Xingkuan and the four of them immediately stretched out their arms, palms of different sizes, and grabbed the two of them.

The black-clothed messenger's speed did not slow, and at the moment when several arms were about to catch him, he suddenly leaned down, dodging the four of them while hugging the waist of the far leftmost Lu Xingkuan, and then exerted all his strength to hug him and throw it behind him!

At the same moment, the observer also used the same move, hugging the waist of the second person on the left, Sui Bai, and falling backwards!

Bang bang......

There were two muffled sounds, and Lu Xingkuan and Sui Bai were suddenly thrown to the ground.

Almost at the same time, the Ding woman, who was standing to the right of Sui Bai, waved her arms and grabbed at the observer.

The observer hurriedly straightened up, trying to dodge, but the speed could not keep up with his reaction, and his shoulder was touched by Lady Ding's right hand.

Bang!

The next moment, the observer had already stood up again, kicked the Ding woman away, and strode forward.

The black-clad messenger moved one step faster than the observer, running ahead of the observer.

The two of them did not look back, and ran forward with all their strength.

After running for a long time, the four figures just now had completely disappeared into the vast fog behind them, and the black-clothed messenger and observer slowed down a little, and finally stopped, panting heavily.

"Whew...... Call...... Whew......"

The chests of the two of them rose and fell violently, their foreheads were covered with sweat, and in the absence of "digital energy" and the use of the body of a malnourished and weak villager, the explosion just now almost used up all their strength!

After a while, the two gradually recovered.

"It's ...... Where has it been? At this time, the observer looked around and spoke suspiciously.

The black-clothed messenger looked around and shook his head slightly.

Now the fog around is thick, and the walls block the view, even if the two stand face to face, looking at each other's faces are a little blurry, such a big fog, no road signs, houses, courtyard walls, or trees can be seen.

They were just trying to escape, and they don't know where they had gone.

Just as he was thinking, the fog in front of him dispersed, and a spacious and simple courtyard appeared in front of the two of them, and in front of the thatched house in the innermost part of the courtyard, there was a pastoral dog lying on his stomach.

The village chief's house has arrived.

※※※

Click, click, click......

The faint sound of footsteps quietly echoed in the mist, like a dropped stone, stirring up layers of ripples.

Between the thick mist, a lonely figure emerged little by little.

It was a villager dressed in an earthy brown caftan, walking in the fog in tattered clothes, every step with such precision as if he had measured it with a ruler.

As he walked, the villager's face turned slightly, and he looked around from time to time, looking very vigilant.

Just as he was looking sideways to the left, four figures of different heights suddenly appeared in the fog in front of him.

The villager in the khaki caftan frowned, but walked straight forward.

The viscous mist was greatly surged by the action, and the distance between the two sides became shorter and shorter, and when they were about to approach, the four of them raised their arms in unison and grabbed at the villager wearing an earthy yellow caftan brown.

The villager in an earthy brown caftan raised his hands, protected his head, and continued walking.

In the next moment, the four hands grabbed the waist, shoulders, back, arms, and thighs of the villager wearing an earthy yellow caftan brown......

The villagers in their khaki caftan kept walking and continued to move forward, quickly breaking free from the arms of the four.

He walked past the four figures, then walked forward, quickly disappearing into the fog.

※※※

In the vast mist, four poorly dressed villagers walked vigilantly.

They held hoes, nail rakes and other agricultural tools in their hands, and under the light of the sky, they faintly reflected a little bit of coldness.

As he walked, in the fog ahead, four shadows appeared.

Looking at the four people who walked over, one of the female villagers immediately said, "It's 'snake vulture' and 'bearded finch'." ”

The "crown eagle" at the head nodded slightly, and said calmly: "Their 'number' is lost, be careful, don't be touched by them." ”

"Just hit it."

As the words fell, everyone raised the farm tools in their hands and strode towards the four of them.

※※※

"Ares" walked in the fog with rage.

Every step he took was filled with humiliating resentment, and he strode towards the village chief's house.

After walking for a while, he suddenly saw that in the fog in front of him, four familiar figures appeared.

"Ares" looked cold, did not pay attention to the sudden appearance of the four people at all, still walked forward, at the same time, before the two sides approached, he had already shouted angrily: "Get out!" ”

The four of them did not respond, and continued to grope their way towards "Ares", and soon, they walked in front of "Ares", arms of different lengths, slashing in the air, trying to grab "Ares".

At this time, "Ares" also saw their faces clearly, the child Bolu with a black mole on his neck, the tall and thin Sui Bai, the short Ding woman with a wooden hairpin in a bun, and the black and thin Xinchun.

"Ares" was stunned at first, but after reacting, a solemn smile suddenly appeared on his face.

He has been wandering around the village for the past two days, and he has already known a small half of the villagers in this village.

The four people in front of him, the child with a black mole on his neck, he didn't know.

But the other three people are Sui Bai, Ding Nu and Xin Chun!

That's right!

These three adult villagers are all friends of Ji Li's blasphemous!

These three villagers, all damn it!

As for the only child, although I don't know who it is, since he is with these three people, he should be damned just as well!

He was about to seek revenge on the Ji Li, and Ji Li's friend sent it to the door, which was really a happy event!

Thinking of this, "Ares" couldn't wait to walk towards the four of them......

※※※

The viscous mist was like a quilt that wrapped the small village firmly.

Zhou Zhen walked cautiously in the fog, and he seemed to be the only one in the village at the moment, no matter where he went, he couldn't hear a single movement.

It's eerily quiet.

After walking for a while, a vague courtyard appeared in front of him, and the sign of "Yue's" was hung on the door, which was the blacksmith shop.

The door of the blacksmith shop was empty, and there was no one.

Zhou Zhen stopped in front of the courtyard gate and looked up at the shop, the low wall surrounded by trees, quietly creeping.

The mist rushed like a current, dragging traces of different shades in the shadows of the trees, and those shadows hid in the fog, building all kinds of grotesque silhouettes near and far, turning into a cold and dark shadow.

Zhou Zhen withdrew his gaze from the blacksmith shop and frowned slightly.

This is the blacksmith's shop.

The official ghost team should have come before him just now.

But now, there's no one outside, it's all in?

In addition, this blacksmith shop is too quiet to hear the slightest movement of iron......

Inside the blacksmith shop, there may be a big problem!

Thinking of this, Zhou Zhen came to the door, stretched out his hand, and knocked on the door very cautiously.

Knock knock knock......

The knock on the door echoed in the fog, making it even more empty and vast.

"Anyone?" Zhou Zhen's muscles tightened and shouted loudly.

The blacksmith shop was still quiet, and there was no response.

Zhou Zhen had no accident, not only this blacksmith shop, he knocked on other people's doors in the past two days, and no one opened the door for him.

So after not waiting for an answer, Zhou Zhen tentatively pushed the door, and suddenly found that the door of the courtyard was hidden.

With a little effort, the door stepped back.

Zhou Zhen hurriedly pulled the door knocker to prevent the courtyard door from opening completely, he controlled the rotation of the door shaft, pushed open a very small gap little by little, put his eyes on it, and looked inside.

Behind the door was a viscous fog that obscured the view and made it difficult to see the entire yard.

But the place that could be seen was deserted and quiet, everything was covered with a thick layer of dust, and the ground was covered with messy grass, which seemed to have been abandoned for a long time, and had not been taken care of for a long time.

Zhou Zhen cautiously withdrew his palm and did not go in directly.

He took a few steps back, left the door of the blacksmith's shop, and after keeping some distance from the courtyard door, he suddenly spoke, sending out a loud wave of undulating sound.

This is the sound wave emitted by "Digital Rain" during class, which he also used to teach the village chief's dog last night.

Now this blacksmith shop is obviously very dangerous.

But there may also be some important clues hidden inside.

It was too risky for him to go in like this.

Therefore, Zhou Zhen intends to recover a little more "digital energy", and if it can be restored to the level of normal use of a "digital domain", it will be more secure.

"@#¥......" After the sometimes high-pitched, sometimes low, sometimes hoarse, and sometimes sharp sound waves lasted for a while, Zhou Zhen found that the "digital energy" in his body showed no signs of recovery at all.

On the contrary, his throat, due to the forced sound that did not exist on earth, began to quickly become hoarse, and a burning sensation came, which was extremely uncomfortable.

Zhou Zhen frowned suddenly, seriously recalled the lecture process last night, and quickly understood that he must have Ji Li's body in order to be able to recover his "digital energy" through the lecture!

"A bit of a hassle......"

"Huh?"

"I'm ...... now What to do? ”

"By the way, I'm going to the blacksmith ......"

"This is the blacksmith ......"

Zhou Zhen suddenly forgot all about the "digital energy", and walked directly towards the blacksmith shop.

He pushed open the hidden courtyard door and walked straight in.

Ask for a commuter pass!
