The surroundings suddenly became dark, completely different from the black from before. The moonlight that was still there seemed to have been sucked dry.
All that was left was the incomparably pure darkness.
Even though I couldn't see what was going on outside, I could feel countless pairs of spying eyes staring at me from the darkness, looking for an opportunity to strike.
Looking at the blood on the ground, I was a little vexed at my imprudence. I could only turn around and ask He Ling for some clothes that I didn't want and quickly wiped off the blood on the ground.
Although He Ling didn't understand what I was doing, she didn't have any objections.
A night's time, if it was before, would be nothing more than closing my eyes. When I opened my eyes again, it was already morning.
Yet, at this moment, I felt as though the dawn had come for a very long time. The blood on my feet had stopped, but not a single peep left my sight.
I am like a steamed bun, everything wants to keep it for myself, but there is no way to come in, directly giving it up is impossible, there is only one way left, and that is to look, and accidentally pick up an advantage?
He Ling fell asleep easily once again, but I just stared at the ground. After my eyes adapted to the darkness, I could still see the vague outline of her body.
It was originally a grayish-black color, but a colossus suddenly appeared. At the beginning, it obstructed everyone's line of sight. However, after a long while, it gradually took on a shape.
From the looks of it, it should be the appearance of a dog. With its big mouth and sharp teeth, it was possible to see how long it was. That curve of its mouth seemed to be telling me that it could eat me in one bite.
The dog-like thing was squatting at the entrance. It had no intention of leaving. Occasionally, it would even stand up and walk around.
As long as it starts moving around, I can vaguely hear a sharp scream. There are only half of it. It seems that it was cut off by various reasons while it was still screaming.
At first, I didn't understand. But when the big dog sat back down in the center of the room, I saw its mouth open wide in satisfaction, and it yawned before I realized what was going on.
While this thing was guarding me, it instantly turned its competitor into a small meal before eating. It's just that it didn't think that a small meal could fill it to such an extent.
It lay there uncontrollably, then it stopped moving.
After seeing it not moving, I gradually calmed down. At the same time, I knew that it was only a temporary peace. Tonight, it felt like a century had passed.
I watched as a ghost girl pulled her tongue out and wrapped it around the door from top to bottom. Before she could even make a move, she was eaten by the big dog.
His heart was already numb.
Staring with wide-open eyes, I finally wait for daybreak.
The big dog let out an angry bellow. In the end, it paced back and forth unwillingly before it quickly left.
When the first rays of the morning sun shone on me, I felt that I was really alive. It was an indescribable feeling.
He Ling was gently shaken awake by me. The first thing I did when I went out was to kneel in front of the Buddha statue and kowtow to it sincerely. Without its permission and protection, it would have been impossible for either me or He Ling to survive.
"Sister Bai?"
He Ling looked at me strangely. In the end, she still followed my example and kowtowed several times.
When the door was opened, the entire village returned to its former tranquility.
He Ling stood at the doorway, obviously she didn't want to get up. She looked at me blankly and asked, "Where can we go now? It seems like we're the only ones there!"
I thought about Luanyang, who had already left, and couldn't help but clench my teeth. He definitely wouldn't leave us in such a place, so he must have encountered some troublesome matters, so he couldn't leave.
I'm going to find him!
"It's fine if you want to stay, but I'm going to look for him. He's definitely waiting for me!"
He Ling was scared by my resolute tone, so she chose to leave with me. The two of us were always better than one another.
I held He Ling's knife in my hand, and the blade was stained with my blood. I did not forget Feng Ming's words: my blood can attract and kill ghosts.
He Ling carefully followed behind me, tightly holding the talisman in her hand.
There was no one in the village, not even a trace of life. It was much more desolate than when we first arrived.
We first went to the Village Head's house, but did not find any clues, so we had to go to the back of the mountain to find a more secretive place.
Along the way, even though He Ling and I would talk for a while, the silence was still there.
When we passed by a ravine, He Ling screamed suddenly and began to cry loudly.
"What's wrong?" I vigilantly looked around my surroundings. I didn't discover anything abnormal and walked over. With a single glance, I was able to see what was inside.
He never thought that his teammates who were already dead would end up like this. Although his clothes were still flowing, the things inside had already been bitten into pieces.
I suddenly thought of the offerings that the Village Head mentioned. Could it be that these people were the sacrifices in the beginning, which is why they were able to come in.
He Ling was still crying sorrowfully, but she didn't dare to take another glance at it. She could only follow me and continue walking forward.
After passing through a small forest, we came across a group of caves. It was just like I said before, there were a large number of caves, and every single one of them would let out a cry when the wind blew past.
He could clearly distinguish men, women, old, and young, as if there was someone who was crying like this before.
The atmosphere was horrifying.
"Are we going in? There are so many holes, which one should we go in? "
He Ling looked at me hesitantly. She could clearly feel her fear, so she wanted to persuade me not to go in.
It was a pity that I had already decided where I would go and headed straight for my intuition. The sound coming from the hole was that of a woman's and one could faintly feel the crying of children mixed within.
He Ling knew that there was no longer any chance for her to turn back. She could only grab my clothes and began to walk inside step by step.
The deeper they went, the darker the feeling became. Although the crying did not become louder, it was still very close to their ears.
He recounted his own tragedy.
