Chapter 19: Devouring People (Asking for a Vote)
Wang Xiaoer lives on the edge of Shuichuan County, because he is willing to endure hardships and has a lot of strength, but he relies on hard work, gets a wife, and gives birth to a pair of dragons and phoenixes four years ago.
Although life is not happy, it is still passable.
In the past, because he had to go to the construction site to work, Wang Xiaoer slept very early and deeply.
But tonight, there were several loud noises from the county town, and he couldn't sleep.
If it had been in the past, he might still have the leisure to touch it up and see what was going on.
But after hearing about the heart-digging incident during the day, he doesn't dare to go out now.
After lying on the bed for a while, Wang Xiaoer groped his way and got up from the bed.
"I drank a little too much water today. ”
Thinking about it, Wang Xiaoer tiptoed out of the room, ready to go to the toilet to relieve himself.
Gently closing the door, Wang Xiaoer stretched out his hand and shook it in front of his eyes, but found that he could only see a vague phantom.
"Why is it so dark today? ”
He muttered in his mouth, and carefully touched the mouth of the latrine, just as he unbuckled his trouser belt and just put half a pipe of water, his neck suddenly cooled, as if a pair of cold hands had touched it from behind.
"Who!"
Wang Xiaoer's body trembled in fright, and he didn't even mention his pants, so he immediately turned around and looked behind him.
Behind him, however, it was pitch black and there was nothing.
After standing in place in a daze for a few breaths, after making sure that there was no one around, Wang Xiaoer breathed a sigh of relief.
"It seems that I didn't get a good rest today, and I was hallucinating. ”
After comforting himself, Wang Xiaoer grabbed the waistband of his pants with both hands and lifted it up, after being so frightened just now, his urge to urinate was gone.
Lifting the waistband of his trousers, Wang Xiaoer hurriedly walked back, and when he was about to go back to the room to lie down, his neck was cold again, this time on both sides.
"Gollum ......"
Feeling the cold chill coming from his neck, Wang Xiaoer swallowed his saliva with difficulty, and then slowly turned his head.
In the dark night, a pair of arms as black as ink rested on Wang Xiaoer's shoulders.
At the end of the arm, there was a thick, viscous black mist, tumbling, constantly releasing a thin black mist.
As soon as Wang Xiaoer turned around, before he could see the situation behind him, the arms on his shoulders turned into a black mist with a "bang", and engulfed him in the blink of an eye.
After a few breaths passed, the black mist that devoured Wang Xiaoer's body moved to the door of the room after leaving a dry bone in place.
Then, an arm, completely condensed from the black mist, stretched out of it.
"Knock, knock......"
A dull knock began to sound in the darkness.
"Who?" A few moments later, a female voice came from inside the room.
Wang Xiaoer's wife opened her eyes in a daze, she slept late tonight because she had to sew clothes, and she had only slept for less than an hour in total.
She listened to the knocking sound from outside the door, and reached out to pat the place where Wang Xiaoer was asleep next to her, but the shot was empty.
"Where's this dead ghost man at night?"
After whispering a word, she gently touched the bed, and came to the door lightly, looking out through the crack in the door, but only saw a black hole, and found nothing.
But at this time, the dull knock on the door was still ringing.
"Knock, knock......"
Listening to the extremely evenly spaced knocking sound, Wang Xiaoer's wife's hands and feet were a little cold, and the sound did not look like a person knocking on it.
But is there anything other than people that will knock on the door, ghosts?
Thinking of this, Wang Xiaoer's wife panicked in her heart.
"Mother, who's knocking on the door, it's so noisy. ”
After the knock on the door lasted for dozens of breaths, a childish voice suddenly came from behind Wang Xiaoer's wife.
Two four-year-olds came behind her at some point.
It was the younger sister who was born a little later, and while the younger sister was talking, the twin brother had reached out at some point and touched the door panel.
Wang Xiaoer's wife was so nervous that she didn't realize that her two children had woken up at all, and she also walked to her side.
When she saw that her son wanted to reach for the door, it was too late to stop her.
"Squeak......
The door was not tethered, and the little boy only touched it lightly, and the door opened, revealing the dark sky outside.
"Hey, why is there no one?"
Looking at the empty door, the bright eyes of the two children were full of question marks.
didn't let the two children look at it more, and with a "bang", Wang Xiaoer's wife quickly closed the door, and then leaned her back against the door with a heartbeat and took a few deep breaths.
She was really frightened, there was a knock on the door, but when she opened the door, she couldn't see anyone, which was too weird.
"Mother, why is there no one outside?"
The two little ones didn't realize the seriousness of the matter, and they kept honking.
"Don't ask so much, children, it's so late now, hurry up and go to bed, good. ”
Wang Xiaoer's wife didn't say much, and after slamming the door shut, she went to bed with her two children.
Listening to the sound of even breathing in her ears, Wang Xiaoer's wife was full of worries.
"What the hell was the one who just knocked on the door, and where did the dead ghost run in the middle of the night?"
It was night, and almost all the residents who lived on the edge of Mizukawa Prefecture heard a rhythmic knock on their doors.
Someone out of caution did not open the door after asking who was knocking on the door and getting no response.
Some people opened the door casually because of their recklessness, and some of the people who opened the door died on the spot.
Of course, not everyone heard the knock, and those who did not hear it were all reduced to a dry skeleton after a black fog.
In the blink of an eye, the time has come to two o'clock.
In the east room of Shanzhen Building, Xu Ming, who was lying in the main room, opened his eyes on time under the effect of the biological clock.
"Oh......"
Stretching, Xu Ming rolled out of bed, came to the window and opened the window as soon as possible, ready to breathe in the fresh air from the outside world.
"Huh?"
As soon as the window opened, Xu Ming noticed something unusual.
Looking at the layer of black mist that shrouded the sky above Shuichuan County, Xu Ming's eyes were solemn and quickly activated the rune mark of the Insight Talisman.
"What a thick demonic aura!"
As a flash of spiritual light flashed from his pupils, Xu Ming discovered the rich demonic aura hidden in the black mist.
If he guessed correctly, with the intensity of this demonic qi, the entire Shuichuan County was probably shrouded in this demonic fog.
"The people of Shuichuan County are afraid that they are going to suffer. ”
Quietly observing a burst of demonic mist, Xu Ming's eyes were complicated and put away the insight runes.
Then, he turned around and called the little girl who was still asleep, and after a simple tidying up, he began to go on the road.
Xu Ming wanted to try it and see if he could leave Shuichuan County, which was blocked by demons at this time.
