A mountain of unknown height, completely shrouded in shadow.
In the forest path, the five figures are struggling to escape. The rapid breathing and repressed crying are mixed together. The moonlight scattered on the sky is partially obscured by dark clouds. The five people can only barely see the path a few meters ahead.
On both sides are thick grass, various strange trees with rich branches but bare, and the cold wind roars like the roar of the devil.
These five people are two men and three women, a boy with black curly hair and glasses, a strong young man with blond hair, a girl with red curly hair, an older woman with short blond hair, and the oldest, a middle-aged woman wearing teacher clothes and curled brown hair.
It seems that because it is inconvenient to run, she took off her high heels and carried them in her hand. Her white feet have been cut many small wounds by gravel and thorns, but her physical strength still ranks second among the five, second only to the strong young man.
Soon, the red haired girl with the weakest physical strength, together with the boy with glasses, stumbled and fell to the ground, and the other three stopped.
While they were helping them, the middle-aged woman suddenly turned her head and asked:
"Marcy, how long do we have? We can't hold on."
With her inquiry, she saw a huge "beast" sticking out its head silently in the shadow of her side.
This is a head of silvery white hair, like a glowing wolf in the moonlight.
Its powerful and domineering head twinkled with humanized color in its eyes. When it saw several people stop, the anxious color flashed in its eyes, and spit out: "you can't rest. You can't be safe until you enter match street."
"Just ahead, hold on for a while..."
While the silver white wolf was talking, his pupils glowed. When the strong light reached the distance, it was weak, but it was vaguely visible that a street appeared at the end of the path and the exit of the forest.
The five even saw the blue stone paved roads, shops on both sides, and exciting glass windows, which was the breath of civilization.
Hope was right in front of them. The five people who were already tired and pale cheered up one after another, but soon, three terrible roars came from behind them, followed by a dark shadow bigger than the giant wolf. They were smashing trees and other obstacles all the way and chasing them.
Under the faint moonlight, the five people could see clearly that this was a three headed monster.
They seem to be "pig shaped monsters" magnified many times. They each carry a kitchen knife, an axe and a steel fork in their hands. Their fierce eyes are condensed on the five people and the giant wolf, and the stench is sweeping over like a storm.
They, screaming:
"Maisie, you abducted our prey again. I'll tear you up."
"Damn it, I can't forgive you this time."
"Our little ones, stop. There's the monster's territory ahead. Don't go in. You'll die miserably."
Although the three monsters can also spit out people, they seem to reveal something more terrible.
But at this time, the five had no second choice at all.
They originally had a team of more than a dozen people. They watched with their own eyes. Other companions were killed by the three monsters and thrown into a bloody place they called "granary".
"Run!"
The middle-aged woman roared directly.
Immediately, she burst out like a sprinter and went to the brightly lit street.
The other four followed.
Although they worked hard, the speed could not be compared with the huge monster. Just when they were about to be caught up, the silver white wolf slammed the brake. In his humanized eyes, he flashed a decisive color and said to the five people: "I'll stop them. You quickly enter the match street. Remember, at midnight... Don't buy matches."
The voice fell, and it turned and jumped at the three headed monster.
When the five people rushed into the street one after another and felt the smell of the lights, they immediately turned around and covered their mouths at the same time, and their tears fell uncontrollably.
Not far away, at the end of the path, three monsters are dismembering the giant wolf.
Its head, limbs and trunk have been completely separated. Its dazzling and domineering silver eyes are gradually disappearing.
What moved people was that from the beginning to the end, the giant wolf didn't make any sound.
"Maixi..."
Even the strongest middle-aged woman could not support herself at this time. She crouched down and shed tears.
The dim light cut the street and forest path into two worlds. The three monsters were like the giant wolf. They were afraid of the street and didn't dare to offend the slightest bit. They stared at five people with hatred and left quickly with the corpse of the giant wolf.
Sadness swept through the five people. They were not killed by the three monsters called "big pig", "small pig" and "small pig" like other companions. It was because Massey appeared in front of them when the graduation tour group of the five people mistakenly entered the strange world and took them to avoid the pursuit of monsters.
Now, it's also killed.
When the five people were confused and helpless, suddenly a cry came from the side:
"Hey, you guys, do you want roast duck?"
The five subconsciously turned around and saw a fat white man in a chef's suit, lying on the windowsill on the first floor, staring at them.
Behind him, there were roast ducks hanging. The golden oil dripping down, and the strong smell of people's fingers fluttering out.
Including middle-aged women, they all subconsciously gulped their saliva.
Strange emotions replaced the sadness in their hearts.
"How much is one?" asked the woman headed by the devil
The fat man seemed to have been waiting long ago and immediately replied, "here, only exchange is accepted."
With that, a strange smile came up at the corners of his mouth. His mouth opened, revealing withered yellow and black teeth and viscous saliva.
As if to choose goods, his eyes wandered back and forth among the five people, and finally fell on the strong blonde youth. With a hoarse and greedy voice, he slowly added: "one person, change a roast duck. I'm the cheapest in the whole street."
As if to respond to him, the continuous sound of windows being opened, the heads of fat people poked out, and stared at them strangely. The aroma of roast duck became stronger.
Boom!
At this time, the heads of the five people seemed to have been severely beaten by a sledgehammer. The terrible nonsense echoed. The creepy breath grew crazy, the hair stood up, and the body stagnated in place. They dared not move like a sculpture.
Led by the middle-aged woman, summoned up the courage, turned her head rigidly, looked to the end of the street and tried to see the way out.
But in her eyes, she could only see one "roast duck shop after another", and the darkness was sweeping over from a distance.
Dangdang!
Extremely abrupt, melodious bell sounded.
In the eyes of the five people, those terrible "roast duck shop owners" all showed a look of panic. They withdrew their bodies back into the shop, and the sound of banging was heard all the time.
The reassuring lights began to go out one by one.
Infinite darkness came almost in an instant.
"Midnight ~ is coming?"
Among the five, the young man with curly hair and glasses shivered.
Without his reminding, several people gathered one after another, and unprecedented fear began to occupy their hearts.
In the dark, the cold wind, like spider silk, wrapped around them and spread all over their bodies along the gap between their necks. Like fluffy snow, began to fall down, and the cold brought by each melting made their hearts beat slowly.
From the perspective of darkness, they suddenly saw that in the darkness of nothingness, there were clouds of shadows. They had strange bodies. They penetrated some kind of barrier, and the low nonsense was transmitted. The sticky and rotten tentacles and huge nothingness palms spread towards them.
A crazy and chaotic impulse formed a tide and began to impact their souls.
All five realized that if they went on like this, they would become crazy?
It was at this time that a strange, viscous sound came from the front.
"Like ~ like the sound of barefoot trampling in the sewage?"
The idea just came to the bottom of their hearts.
Pooh!
Without warning, the fire lit up, and a match appeared in front of the five. With the help of the brilliant burst of brilliance, the five saw a little girl. She was wearing a patched cloth skirt, with dazzling blond hair and a lovely and beautiful face.
She had a lot of matches in her apron pocket and a handful in her hand.
The girl barefoot, trampled in the cold sewage, looked at the five people with a pair of blue and pure eyes, with a trace of appeal in her tone, and asked, "madam, do you want to buy matches?"
The middle-aged woman who was asked quickly noticed that those terrible shadows faded in an instant as the light of the match appeared.
An impulse to buy, rising.
But just as she was about to speak, Massey's last reminder emerged.
The horror of terror occupied her heart again.
She didn't even dare to answer, but shook her head wildly.
The girl's face immediately showed a heartbreaking disappointment. With a glimmer of hope, she looked at the strong young man and asked, "Sir, buy matches?"
The young man who has got the hint shakes his head quickly.
The other three followed.
The five refused one after another. The loss from the little girl made them feel guilty one after another, eating their hearts like poisonous snakes.
The middle-aged woman who refused first among them looked at the black snowflakes falling on the girl's long blond hair. Her strong motherhood occupied her body. She couldn't help blurting out and asked, "I'll buy..."
Hoo!
The first match in the girl's hand went out.
When the last light disappeared, a rotten and ferocious face was suddenly reflected in their eyes.
Five people, all stagnated in place.
Unprecedented fear and horror are about to freeze their souls.
Pooh!
The sound of matches, when the brilliant light reappeared, the four saw the middle-aged woman standing beside them, their English teacher Martha, who was burning like a human candle, and the yellow and white wax oil flowed down with the burning.
Her body was trembling, but she could not move. There was indescribable fear in her eyes.
Martha, still alive.
"Help... Help me!"
The hard cry for help made the wax oil drip into her mouth.
In an instant, she couldn't speak again.
Gradually solidified wax oil glued her mouth together.
Several people have tried to scream and wail when they just came to the world, but at this time, the four people still can't stop their instinct. They are extremely sad and filled with endless screams of fear, ringing through the dark street.
When Martha burned, she released warmth and a certain aroma, which kept the four of them warm in the snow night.
But their hearts were occupied by strong fear. The four wanted to escape immediately, but their legs seemed to be fixed in place. They could do nothing but tremble.
And now, in front of Martha.
The lovely and beautiful little girl turned her head and looked at the four people as if following the previous order. She asked the strong young man, "Sir, buy matches?"
Youth, has been completely submerged by fear.
He clung to his mouth. The strong pressure made his gums bleed. He summoned up all his courage and shook his head slowly.
Little girl, turn to the next one.
Just when her question was about to come out, at this sudden moment, a void door opened.
In the black vortex, a figure came out, dressed loose and comfortable, carrying a herbal medicine box, with a beautiful appearance and a temperament that makes people feel good.
A wandering pharmacist?
Four people, first stunned.
Then the color of hope rose in his eyes. At this time, no matter who is good, as long as he can save them.
Tang Qi, who had just appeared, looked at the picture in front of him, and pieces of information exploded in his mind one after another. His eyes narrowed slightly at once.
At this time, the little girl suddenly skipped the four and came to Tang Qi.
A naive and lovely little face reflected into Tang Qimu through the brilliance released by the burning of "Martha".
She took out a match, handed it over, begged and asked, "Sir, do you want to buy a match?"
Tang Qi looked at the little girl who gave birth to pity, listened to the crisp plea, compared with the special picture in his mind, the terrible malice that was so strong that he couldn't wait to be entangled, and his look was strange.
He tilted his head and put his hand into the medicine box. Ignoring the crazy hints of the other four people, he seemed to be taking money out. At the same time, he smiled gently at the little girl and said, "I not only buy it, but also your matches... I've got it all."
"Roar!"
With Tang Qi's voice, the Dragon roared and fired infinitely.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The golden bullet, which was completely composed of the magic of the furnace, poured down on the little girl like a rainstorm.
A sharp, different cry from human beings suddenly came out of the little girl's mouth, but there were few sounds, which ended because her whole head was smashed.
Like a beautiful cloth doll, it was treated inhumanely and was blown into holes in an instant, as if it would soon be blown into minced meat and broken slag.
But in Tang Qi's eyes, the fragments of information that should have never emerged.
On the contrary, a more intense and terrible malice almost condensed into substance and wound around him.
At the end of the street, in the deepest darkness, people's souls trembled and roared one after another, like an army of monsters ready to move, charging towards them.
This time, there is no need for the burning "Martha". The dazzling fire light burns the darkness, which makes several people see clearly.
At the end of this strange street called "match Street", there is indeed an army, an army of "candle people" running slowly.
