The silent and dead village is full of things. There is no trace of life at all, but it seems that there are people living in it, and they are afraid of being discovered by outsiders.
The surroundings were eerily quiet, with no sound of insects at all. Looking around, there seemed to be nothing but dead branches and leaves.
"Let's go."
Jiang Chenchuan wanted to leave.
"Do you want to keep going?"
Chu Dong showed some worry. She was afraid that if she continued to go deeper, she would really encounter something terrible.
"Now that we have arrived at the sick village, we should investigate clearly..."
As Jiang Chenchuan spoke, he continued to walk forward. He stepped on the wet ground, which seemed to be carrying something hard. When he lowered his head and looked at his feet, he saw another unknown white bone.
Chudong could only follow Jiang Chenchuan and observe the surrounding environment, fearing that something would come out of some terrible shadow.
However, unlike what he imagined, it seemed that after leaving the forest, the journey was uneventful. There was no weird darkness or scary withered hands.
The only strange thing is that the further you go, the more strange marks appear on the ground, like traces of human walking, or some kind of mutated monster.
The gloomy village seemed to be dead, with a strange aura permeating everywhere. This chaotic aura had been interfering with Jiang Chenchuan's exploration, making them a little scared to move forward.
swish swish——
Finally, a rustling sound came from the unknown darkness, like someone running quickly, as if they had detected something. The next second, Jiang Chenchuan pulled out his sword, which was almost an instinctive reaction.
A strong wind blew, and a figure darker than the darkness rushed toward them. The sharp staff and sword collided with the unknown hardness, causing a few scattered sparks.
The kerosene lamp fell to the ground, and you could only vaguely see the shadow-like darkness through the flash of light and shadow. Even after such a brief contact, you couldn't see the other party's true face clearly.
"Come on, Chudong, you know some spells, right?"
"It would be simpler."
Chu Dong responded coldly.
His eyes were fixed on the depths of the darkness, not missing any small sounds. The jumping figures were like waves surging in the darkness.
"Curse."
"What!?"
Chudong was very surprised. He turned around to check Jiang Chenchuan's eyes and realized that he was not joking, but serious.
"Trap him!"
If the situation is urgent, you can only use the simplest and crudest method.
Chudong thought this in his heart, and then he squatted down and wanted to write something, when he heard a faint sound coming from the darkness behind him.
Listen carefully...
"Meow"
It was actually a cat meowing. Chudong even wondered if he had fallen into some kind of hallucination, but everything was so real.
The dark figure rushed towards Jiang Chenchuan again, raising his sword to deal with the collision. This time he finally saw those scarlet eyes, with a terrifying fierce light, as if they were a monster he had never seen before, being released. Prison.
After a fierce collision, they separated again, swinging their swords while running wildly. The opponent was not to be outdone. The attacks from both sides were so fierce that they made a clashing sound like metal.
During the battle, the boiling blood was surging. Jiang Chenchuan was not weak at all against the monster, but he was able to fight back and forth.
But Jiang Chenchuan knew in his heart that fighting was not just about strength, but also the means and methods of fighting.
His heart was beating violently, not even afraid of the cold. The collision with the strong armor would leave corresponding marks on the sword. Jiang Chenchuan clenched the weapon tightly and took out the watch from his arms with his other hand. The awakening of power began. Surge, time began to gradually stop.
The body seemed to be filled with glue, and it slowly became unable to move. The monster seemed to show a trace of panic.
…
It will be replaced before seven o'clock tomorrow morning.
I originally wanted to hold my hand and wait for the night to pass before setting off, but before Jiang Chenchuan could finish speaking, he heard a scream. The sudden sound seemed extremely terrifying in the darkness.
I could vaguely hear some sounds from the forest, but I couldn't be sure what they were.
But as I listened, my eyes turned toward the darkness...xqqxs8.
"You guys wait for me here."
He grabbed his cane and started to walk out. Everyone looked at each other, only Yulia chased after her, but as a doctor, she didn't know anything, and it was too dangerous to be outside.
"I'll go, you stay."
Chudong stopped her.
Not knowing where he got the courage, Jiang Chenchuan stepped into the forest. What eroded them was not only the darkness, but also the coldness of the night.
In weather like this, I should have nestled by the fire, covered with a warm blanket, and slept on a soft big bed, instead of wandering around in the forest. After a while, early winter caught up with Jiang Chenchuan , he was standing quietly, motionless.
"Wait, don't move."
he said in a low voice.
Chudong immediately stopped moving. It wasn't until both of them stopped that she noticed that in the relatively quiet environment, there was actually a faint sound of footsteps moving, like the sound of rubbing dead leaves. Faintly visible, seemingly there and not at all.
"This way!"
Jiang Chenchuan could tell the direction by listening to the sound, and he immediately chased after him. Chu Dong didn't believe it until he heard the sound just now.
^0^ Did anyone really survive in the sick village?
With this thought in mind, Chudong followed Jiang Chenchuan with mixed emotions. He didn't walk for long, but he felt that the surrounding environment was getting darker and darker, as if it was shrinking, wrapping the two of them in it.
The other people waiting inside the house watched as the light source in Jiang Chenchuan's hand went deeper into the forest, and was finally swallowed up by darkness.
"Evel, we seem to be trapped in..."
"I know."
From the beginning, something strange had caught his attention, but they were still running fast and couldn't think about it so much. Once they stopped, the invisible darkness kept coming.
Like a mist, they were wrapped in the center of darkness.
Suddenly, footsteps sounded again, this time closer, as if they were circling around them.
As if looking for something.
Lifting the lantern in his hand, he could clearly see the strange particles floating in the darkness, as if they were some kind of special formation trying to trap them in it.
"Evel, what should we do?"
Just when they had no idea, a pale skeleton-like arm stretched out from somewhere and grabbed Chu Dong's arm. The panic made her speechless. Jiang Chenchuan subconsciously wanted to He drew his sword to fight back, but felt something was wrong.
That withered hand was pulling Chudong out of the darkness, and that action looked like it was saving them.
"Wait, Chudong, don't struggle, just follow it."
As soon as he heard Jiang Chenchuan's voice, Chudong stopped resisting and let his withered hands drag them away from the dark area where they couldn't see anything.
Just when he was about to walk out, the pale withered hand loosened its fingers. It seemed to move very quickly and was very familiar with the environment of the sick village. Within a few seconds, it disappeared into the forest.
The area that the lantern can illuminate gradually expands, and the scene in front of me can gradually be seen clearly. It is no longer a strange forest, but there are some large and small houses, which are scattered in the depths of the forest.
"Sick Village...we are here."
The dead branches in the distance swayed in the wind, as if cheering and waving for their arrival. There was no light in the entire village. Although it was very late, it could be basically inferred based on the traces on the road.
There has been no activity here for a long, long time. It is like an abandoned village, forgotten by everyone.
"Actually, there are some long-standing legends about the sick village."
"What?"
The darkness in the forest behind them was full of danger, and the light from their original residence could not be seen. Jiang Chenchuan and Chu Dong could only talk while walking into the sick village.
"I heard that a long time ago, because it relied on the coast of New Zealand, this was a prosperous town. The people in the town made a living by fishing. Later, for a while, ocean trade was discovered, and together with the ports of various countries, the entire The town suddenly became rich.”
"How did such a prosperous place end up in such a miserable state that it didn't even have a name?"
With the light of the kerosene lamp shining into the house, the house was dark and covered with thick dust. Even in the windows of some houses, skeletons could be vaguely seen lying in the house. They were all the weathered corpses of villagers.
Long dead.
"So, this is also a legend. According to legend, due to the rapid development of the town at that time, the leaders who managed the town wanted to give the town a famous name. And the disaster started with the name, and they directly used it I heard that it was this move that angered the god. From then on, the whole town began to collapse and decline. In the end, it was reduced to a small village that even had a name."
Chudong narrated calmly, adding a chill to the already cold night.
"Did you offend the gods?"
"Probably...Although no one has seen it, and no one can prove the existence of God, once it is mentioned, I feel that I need to be in awe."
Even early winter will sigh like this.
Having entered the sick village, the darkness in the forest has dissipated, and there is probably no threat to them anymore.
"Let's go and have a look."
As Jiang Chenchuan spoke, the surroundings were filled with a dark and strange atmosphere. Even Chu Dong felt uncomfortable all over. Walking through the sick village, there was almost silence all the way.
The road under your feet is almost unpaved, and it is very difficult to walk, or there are crisscrossing tree roots growing wildly.
Occasionally, the wind blows, and there will always be rustling sounds all around, like someone moving, or just the friction between leaves.
While walking, Jiang Chenchuan suddenly stopped. Chu Dong didn't have time to brake and almost hit him.
"Tell me...the person who is rumored to be seen taking action in the sick village, could he be that one..."
Ignoring Chu Dong's embarrassment, Jiang Chenchuan pointed to the figure standing in the distance and said slowly.
At first glance, it was as if I was actually seeing a living person and I felt my heart beating faster.
"That...that is..."
"Dummy, but it's more like someone hung it here deliberately to scare away people who come to the sick village to investigate."
Jiang Chenchuan held a kerosene lamp and observed. Under the blowing of the wind, the dummy would move slowly, as if it were really alive.
"Then the question is, why would anyone do this in a village where everyone is dead?"
I originally wanted to hold a steady hand and wait until the dark night passed before setting off, but before Jiang Chenchuan could say anything,
^0^After that, a scream was heard, and the sudden sound seemed extremely terrifying in the darkness.
I could vaguely hear some sounds from the forest, but I couldn't be sure what they were.
But listen, listen, look towards the darkness...
"You guys wait for me here."
He grabbed his cane and started to walk out. Everyone looked at each other, only Yulia chased after her, but as a doctor, she didn't know anything, and it was too dangerous to be outside.
"I'll go, you stay."
Chudong stopped her.
