Chapter 10: Despair
"My previous guess doesn't seem to be wrong?"
Previously, Cui Xiu guessed that the entire misty place might be a circle, and if you go out in a straight line along the center of the circle and the edge of the circle, you may find an exit to leave.
But he didn't rush to do what he thought, after all, the evidence was insufficient.
So he secretly wrote down the route, and then continued to follow the route where he had picked up the human bones.
He estimated that he had been walking for half an hour, and then returned to the place where he had picked up the child's skull.
This situation made him have a lot more grasp of his original thoughts.
However, what made him a little suspicious was that he had a vague feeling along the way that he was able to walk back to where he was, not because he wanted to follow the route planned in his mind in a circle.
The real reason, as if this place has the ability to influence people's thinking, made him walk back here unconsciously.
He had just arrived here, and along the way, he harvested these human bones containing gray air currents in his hands, as if they were affected by the environment.
After all, at that time, he didn't think about taking the arc route, and what he thought about in his mind was to keep moving forward, where would he deliberately turn around.
This thought made him a little worried in his heart, if his thinking would really be affected by the environment here, wouldn't it mean that he couldn't go out at all, but could only go around in circles in this place all the time?
“......”
Thinking of this possibility, Cui Xiu didn't feel very good.
The face is not very good-looking.
I thought I was smart and found a way to leave, but now it seems a little ridiculous.
That's fine, no one here is watching his jokes anyway.
If he can't get out of here, it's the most important thing for him.
And it is worth mentioning that he walked in a circle, and never found any human bones containing gray air currents, or even saw a single bone.
This situation makes this place, which is already shrouded in fog, even more confusing.
......
Cui Xiu was a little unwilling, so he simply drew a straight line according to his previous estimate, and then walked out of the circle.
To avoid some problems, he also left some markers on his way.
Then, he discovered......
Sure enough, he was still going round and round.
This situation made him a little discouraged, but he was also an adult in his previous life, and he had been in the workplace anyway, so he would not despair easily, so he tried several times......
Then he despaired......
Again and again, he didn't know how long it had elapsed since he couldn't see the sky outside, until the whole mountain forest had become dark, and it seemed to be night outside, that he stopped.
It's not that he can't keep trying, maybe because of the source force, his night vision ability is not bad, and there is no big problem walking at night.
And it's not very dark here, even if it's shrouded in fog, but for some reason, it's not too dark.
But he didn't want to move for the time being.
Because several attempts proved that his actions were in vain.
For the first time, he regretted running into this place to avoid the enemy, and he thought that he might run to some cliff and jump off the cliff, and the chances of survival would be greater.
And even if you are unlucky and fall to your death, it is better than waiting here to starve to death.
Especially when I think of the jokes I saw on the Internet in my previous life, I heard that starvation is one of the most painful ways to die.
I've only been through a month! I've just recovered my body, and before I have time to appreciate the scenery of the other world, I'm going to die.
Among the many traversers, I'm afraid it's also one of the most humiliating, right?
Maybe the word 'one' should be removed?
Sitting down stupidly leaning on a big tree, Cui Xiu looked at the small pit left by taking away the child's skull before.
Somewhat dazed.
After sitting for a while, he thought for a moment, put the burden on his lap, and looked at the human bones inside.
The gray air flow on the human bones had been absorbed by him, and now they were just ordinary bones, and they were still some withered bones.
"It seems that the previous promise is afraid that it will not be completed, and you may have to stay here again, the only difference is that there is one more me. ”
It feels a little sad to think that after I die, bones will become one of them.
Maybe some of these bones were left by people who suffered the same as themselves?
Cui Xiu felt that there was this possibility, and when he thought of this, he thought of 'Brother Huzi' again, and he didn't know if the other party came in.
If he also entered here, the situation would not be much different from him.
What is this?
Cui Xiu wanted to cry a little.
"Big Brother ......"
But just as he lamented his failure to travel through life, a somewhat familiar voice suddenly appeared.
He froze.
......
Liu Hu didn't know that he had been nagged by Cui Xiu, and his situation seemed much more miserable than Cui Xiu.
The long knife had fallen to the side at some point, and he himself was lying limp on the woodland, and the muscles around him were a little tendoned.
His face was pale, as if he had exhausted his strength.
The only thing that's okay is that he's come to his senses and isn't as irritable as before.
A pair of cloudy eyes with a bit of gray, as if there was some regret, mixed with some despair.
From time to time, there would be a flash of anger, but it quickly dissipated.
And where only he could see, countless figures in tattered clothes and thin bodies were lying on top of him, teeth and claws, scratching wildly.
As if trying to dig a piece of flesh out of his body.
For these things lying on his stomach, Liu Hu is actually used to it.
From the irritability at the beginning, to the anger at the back, to the powerlessness, and finally to the numbness.
Liu Hu's psychological journey is a bit tortuous.
But overall, although his body is out of strength, it is not bad, because although these figures are crazy, they don't seem to hurt him.
just made his body gradually chill,
And the entire sight that filled him, making it impossible for him to move at all.
He closed his eyes, and at this moment he also thought of Cui Xiu.
There are regrets, but the killing intent is not so heavy anymore, it's not that I don't want to kill, it's just that I'm a little tired.
Compared with Cui Xiu, there are memories of his previous life to recall, although the whole person is decadent, he has not completely given up.
As an indigenous, Liu Hu has fewer ideas, and he doesn't think that he still has a chance to escape, and the people in this world, like the ancient people in Cui Xiu's previous life, already believe in the existence of ghosts and gods.
Liu Hu naturally thought that he had encountered a ghost, and the facts had proved to him that he could not fight against what was in front of him.
For a murderer like him, who has killed many people, he is used to seeing dead people, and he will not think that these things can spare his life.
Even if he can't do direct harm to him, he can't escape their influence and do anything.
Because even if he closed his eyes, he could see them lying on his body, on his head, and on all fours.
"It's just...... The gods are powerful, why don't you save me?"
That was the only doubt in his mind.
......
"What's wrong with this guy?"
Just when Liu Hu had recovered some of his strength, ignoring these things on his body and committing suicide, a voice with surprise in his tone suddenly sounded in his ears.
The voice is somewhat unfamiliar, not a person in memory.
