"I blame me for being too weak. I didn't notice it at first... ugh..." Wen Na lowered her head, looking very remorseful...
"Who would have thought that he would be so crazy and take the body of a child? I should be blamed... The first time you said you thought there was something weird about this little boy, I should have paid attention..."
"Okay, okay, everything is over. Let's think about what we should do next..." Chaoyang turned over, walked to the window and looked around, "Those people in the yard have disappeared, and they all went to the shed area behind. Let’s go, should we follow and have a look?”
"You guys should eat something first and replenish your strength. Those people will lose control of 'him' and will not pose a threat to us. What we really have to do is to catch his shadow as soon as possible and not let him escape."
"We can't find it. Look here, including outside this high wall, there are so many people. It's easy for him to find a skin to hide in... We don't have time to waste with him. ." Wen Na said.
After that, the other two human-headed spiders found some clean food for us, and the four of us ate it among ourselves, preparing to go to the shed to have a look.
Liu Liu took the lead, and other giant spiders surrounded the four of us in the middle to prevent any sudden attacks. The shed was built very simply, with cement walls and a colored steel plate on top. The supported roof didn't even have windows. It didn't look like a place for people to live at all, but more like a shed for raising cattle and sheep.
"There are so many people, why is there no sound at all?" Chaoyang asked in a low voice.
I also find it strange that there are hundreds of people pouring into this shantytown, but there is no sound at all! We all took out our weapons and gently pushed open the door of the shed.
The moonlight passed through the gap of about 30 centimeters between the ceiling and the wall, and shone into the shed. The moonlight was desolate and slightly blood-colored. There were about a hundred or so people crowded in the shed as densely as planting rice! All the people were kneeling on the ground and looking at the moonlight, but if you look closely you can see that their eyes were all turned upward, with no pupils visible!
Such a horrifying scene in the night makes people tremble with fear. Everyone is like a puppet, keeping a kneeling posture, as if praying to the moonlight!
"Are they alive?" Xiwu asked in a low voice, wanting to get closer and have a closer look.
"I know his purpose. He wants to draw the power of faith!" Wen Na said looking at the situation in front of her.
“Is faith powerful?”
"Of course there is. Even if you regularly maintain a house, as long as no one lives in it, it will gradually deteriorate. Popularity is a very important force in this dimension of the universe."
"You all know that there is a saying that if a family cannot give birth to a boy, it means that the incense is broken. In fact, what people say is that the incense is broken. It has nothing to do with having a boy or a girl at the beginning, but means that no one worships the ancestors. So the incense is cut off. People have three souls. One soul goes to the earth, one soul goes to the ancestral tablet, and the other soul will enter another space. These three souls need other media to support them to continue to exist. Prestigious families can get the ancestral tablets. Blessings are becoming more and more prosperous. One of the reasons is that the spirits of their ancestors have been enshrined and believed in, so they are more powerful and can protect their descendants. After some people die, their spirits slowly dissipate. ."
I think of a foreign cartoon I watched, which talks about the disappearance of a person's true meaning, which starts when everyone forgets him... This has the same meaning as what Wen Na said...
"But he is still a living person, so what's the use of having the power of faith?"
"When people in this dimension gain the power of faith, they will become indestructible weapons."
"Look there!" As soon as Chaoyang pointed to the corner, the dagger in Xiwu's hand flew out in that direction!
A black shadow climbed along the pillars supporting the ceiling and onto the beam!
"catch him!"
But there are too many people crowded into this shed, and those human-headed spiders are too big to get in!
During the day, the shadow was still dark red, but now it has completely turned black. He no longer looks like a monkey, and his torso is thicker! The facial features on his face were also clearer. He grinned at me. Because he had no lips, his teeth were cold in the moonlight, and each one was very sharp!
Yugiri raised his feet and stepped on the shoulders of the person kneeling next to him. He jumped up and landed firmly on the beam. The black shadow arched its body and rushed towards Yugiri like a cannonball. past! Amazing speed!
Not good! I secretly screamed, the beam was so narrow, it seemed that Yugiri could only bear this blow...
I clutched my heart and saw Xiwu leaning back and bending down at a very extreme speed, about to fall off the beam. I stretched out my hand to catch it, but didn't catch anything. When I looked up again, I saw Xiwu I bent my legs and hooked them onto the beam, making a golden hook hanging upside down...
Seeing that the first attack failed, Black Shadow was about to launch a second attack!
"careful!"
Yugiri was now defenseless. She pulled out the hairpin on her head and faced the attacking black shadow. Her long silky black hair hung down from the beam and passed over my face.
I was in a trance for a moment and lost my mind for two seconds...
"He ran away!" Xiwu shouted, Chaoyang immediately chased towards the place where the black shadow fell, Wen Na followed closely, but I felt that in addition to hair, there was some warm liquid flowing down my face. ...
"You are hurt?!"
Xiwu rolled over and landed on the ground, and I saw the blood on the left side of her abdomen that she was covering with her hands constantly overflowing from between her fingers...
"It's okay." Xiwu still pretended to be strong.
"Let me see!" I couldn't help her resisting and opened her fingers. The black shadow actually scratched three shocking blood marks on Xiwu's body! The wound looked very deep, and blood was pouring out...
"You're so stupid, stop the bleeding first!"
"Okay, okay..." I said yes, but I didn't know how to start, so I raised my hands in the air nervously...
"I just protected you so well. Now I don't even know how to treat the wound, so I should let you fight a few times... tear your clothes into strips to suppress the wound!"
I followed her instructions, my movements were clumsy and my moves were careless. Xiwu kept gasping...
"Okay... let's do this for now..." Yugiri sat down against the wall and tied up her loose hair with a hairpin again. "They've been there for a while, no, we have to go and have a look." Xiwu covered her wound and was about to go find Chaoyang and Xiwu, but I held her down.
"Don't run around like this now. I'll just go look for you."
"Master, don't move! Something is approaching us!" Liuliu, who was crawling on the ceiling, called to me, "That's the spirit just now! This spirit is very powerful!" I pulled out my dagger and blocked Xiwu behind me.
"I just stabbed him with a hairpin, but it didn't seem to have any effect." Yugiri's voice was hoarse due to weakness...
It seems that this thing pretended to run away just to separate the four of us. His goal has always been me!
Wen Na and Chaoyang, who were both capable of fighting, were lured away by him, leaving only the injured Yugiri and me, as well as a few big spiders outside who couldn't get in...
I held my breath and looked in all directions, wary of 'his' sudden attack. At this time, near the wall, a puppet slowly stood up. He twitched in front of the moonlight and rolled his eyes. Back to normal.
Then the second...the third...all the manipulated puppets in the shed stood up! Look at me expressionlessly!
"Come out! Don't hide behind these puppets. Is this all you have?"
I used provocation to get him to come out and face me, but he was also smart and refused to accept my trick.
Then, everyone in the shed walked in uniform and very mechanical steps, gradually approaching Yugiri and me, and we were already forced into a corner...
"Stop showing off your little tricks." One of the puppets spoke. I looked for the source of the voice in the crowd. Then the voice came to the other side and another puppet continued, "It's better to save your energy. ." The position of the voice is constantly changing, and I can't find his true location!
"If you take the initiative to offer it, I may remember your dedication." The voice is getting closer and closer. I don't know where the next person who speaks will be. I know that his spirit is constantly possessing these people. Puppet, control them to speak...
"I will let your friend go." The puppet in front of me suddenly raised its head and strangled my neck with both hands!
