I remember I once said that I am not afraid of dead people, but I am afraid of the silent silence after death. So death and silence have always been equated in my mind. According to common sense, if I am holding a human head in my hand at this moment, then at least this guy has been dead for a long time.
But the pale face in front of me not only made me feel the coldness of death, but also had an indescribable weirdness. Its facial skin is almost pure white, as if it has not absorbed sunlight for too long, or has been soaked in water for so long that the blood color has been lost. The eyes are quite big, and there are eyeballs inside, but I don’t understand why the eyeballs are like black and shiny balls, with no whites in the eye sockets at all.
I grabbed its hair. Judging from the length of its hair, it seemed to be a woman. After the hair was picked up, it exposed its forehead. I wasn't sure if it was my imagination at the time. I found that there were two symmetrical protrusions on its forehead under the hairline, which seemed to be horns, about half the thickness of a thumb. and length. And now I can see its appearance more clearly. It has no eyebrows, maybe it's too light that I didn't notice, and the flesh between the two eyebrow bones is tightened together, making it look very angry, but the expression on the mouth is smiling. This sharp contrast makes I find it particularly scary, but its mouth is open and smiling, but its teeth are biting together. I understand that the teeth of the people among them are not very eye-catching. Only the upper and lower tiger teeth are sharp, and this guy actually has them all over his mouth. The built-up teeth look somewhat similar to the big shark movie poster at the entrance of the Cathay Theater earlier.
Its weird smile, under the weak flashlight light of the pine nut, startled me. Based on instinct, I quickly raised my hand to throw the head away, but the moment I let go, even though the hair was flowing along my My fingers were slipping away, but my wrist seemed to be tightly grasped by something. After a closer look, I discovered that from the broken neck of the head, for some reason, black smoke came out, and there was no trace of it. An opaque strip came out, looking like a small hand made of smoke, and grabbed my wrist.
These seven or eight strands of smoke looked very soft, like silk floating in the water with the current, but when they grabbed my wrist, they were very strong, accompanied by a tingling feeling, especially when I had just walked out of the water. When I came out of the water, my body was already soaked, and this feeling became more distinct through my clothes. Seeing that I was caught, I started to swing my arms wildly, trying to throw it away, but it actually felt light and fluffy, and there was no dragging feeling like a normal swing, it just grabbed me. Instead, several tentacle-like things followed my arms and began to crawl towards my shoulders quickly.
Judging from the appearance, apart from its mouth full of fangs, this human head seemed to have no other means of harming me, so when it crawled along its arms towards me, I felt that I might be about to be killed in the next second. It tore off half of the skin on his face. I panicked, and when it climbed up to my upper arm, I leaned my body sideways on the bank. I used almost all my strength plus the weight of my body to press this lovely head to the ground, but when When I fell to the ground, I found that this guy had avoided it very cleverly. Not only that, but he also took advantage of the situation and climbed from my shoulder to the back of my head and to the junction of my neck and shoulder on the other side.
I thought it was over now. If I bite right at this spot, there are many big blood vessels there. I'm afraid I will be stained with blood in this big pool. In my desperation, I didn't have time to think about it, and I just hit the thunderbolt in my hand towards my left shoulder. I didn't expect this palm to really hit, so I slapped myself hard on the face, and the guy dodged again, but this time it dodged, which made me do something wrong. I didn't have time to react, so I quickly turned over and stood up. I ran towards the shore where Songzi was standing, feeling that the guy was there. It rustled up to the position on my back and waist. This place made me a little embarrassed, because no matter which hand I hit, it was never easy to exert strength, so I simply stopped hitting, and instead I twisted my body slightly so that my hand could reach over, and then I grabbed its hair again, using my hands hard as if tearing off a dog-skin plaster, trying to tear it off from my waist.
This process was accompanied by me running in the direction of the pine nuts, which was originally only a few meters away. Soon I was close to the shore. Although the opponent held on tightly, I felt that he was not big after all, and his strength was not as strong as expected. It was so huge that it took a lot of effort to pull it off my waist. At the same time, one of my feet also stepped onto the shore.
Just when my second foot was about to land, the human head I was holding in my hand was light and fluffy, but at this moment, a relatively large force came from me. This force was opposite to the direction of my running. It seemed that the human head wanted to It was as if they wanted to drag me into the water again, but I was running relatively fast at that time, and coupled with the inertia of my body, the force was no match for me. I seemed to be dragging a heavy object and rushed to the shore. side.
The strange thing is that when I got ashore, the head suddenly became heavier. I could have stretched out my arms to lift it, but now it was as heavy as a large sack filled with water. I couldn't bear it on my hands. The weight, and the fact that I didn’t intend to hold it in my hand all the time, now that I’m ashore, I’m relatively safer, and I can at least use my hands and feet easily, so I loosen my grip and throw the head in. I landed on the ground and moved further in the opposite direction.
When the human head fell to the ground, I originally thought it would rush up and bite me again. I even put my hand into my bag and found the Six Directions Seal. But what I didn't expect was that not only did this human head not It rushed towards me, but crawled towards the water very laboriously and slowly. The black smoke-like tentacles emerging from the broken neck were also crawling uncoordinatedly on the ground at this moment. It feels very much like a jellyfish that has been stranded on the shore and is struggling to get into the water.
When I was confused, Songzi suddenly shouted loudly, Situ, catch it quickly! Can't let it go into the water! I also instantly understood what Songzi meant. This guy seems to be full of power only in an environment with water, and his movements will become very fast. After leaving the range of water, he will become bulky and slow. When I thought of this, I saw that the human head was still almost one meter away from the nearest water surface. However, although it seemed to be struggling anxiously to get into the water, its speed was even slower than that of the turtle.
So I stood up and took out the division order from my bag without haste, intending to finish this guy off. According to the records of "魍" in ancient books, it is a kind of ghost that can only become very powerful when it exists in water. Now it seems that the guardian ghost of this "魍" is probably the human head that is escaping in embarrassment in front of him. . Since it fell into the water just now, all the charms I had prepared in my bag were soaked, and the blank talisman papers were also soaked. There is no way to kill this guy with talismans. At the moment, it can only be beaten. This is my best chance to eliminate it.
I walked behind the head, stretched out my foot and stepped on its hair that was scattered on the ground. It couldn't move forward after I stepped on it. I also squatted down and saw this guy's face from the side. His expression no longer looked like the ferocious and weird smiling expression before, but one of shock and horror, and even a feeling of great fear.
Although it wasn't looking at me, I could see its expression. In fact, just like the ghosts we destroyed before, there is no right or wrong among them, they just have different positions. I am the trespasser, and it is the gatekeeper. Our roles have already destined us to have conflicts, even if we had no grievances before. When I thought of this, I felt a little compassion and helplessness in my heart. So I recited a rebirth mantra on my lips. Even though I didn’t know the name of the ghost guarding the gate or whether it was a collection of some kind of soul energy, I just hoped that this mantra would help me after I killed it. It transcends quickly and enters reincarnation early.
After I finished reciting, I drew the Five Thunder Talisman in the void just like I had eliminated those four-fold bodies during the "Evil" period, and then poured my power into the Six Directions Seal, and hit the top of the head with one powerful seal. superior.
It stopped moving in an instant, and the expression on its face froze. The black smoke-like tentacles that were still shaking around on the ground turned into smoke and faded away, and then disappeared. In order to be sure, I also used the Master's Order to make up for it. The so-called killing must kill, this time is to destroy it completely.
Although the "Ghost" guarding the gate was extremely thrilling, I was not injured. Except for losing a flashlight, it was a great victory. Neither Songzi nor I thought that this level seemed difficult to clear, but because I unexpectedly ran towards the shore, I discovered the opponent's weakness and then killed the opponent.
This was not the time to breathe, because Qin Bukong was still in the middle of the pool. He had been unconscious for a long time. If he did not sit firmly and fell into the deep water in the middle, he would probably never be saved. So Songzi and I just worked together to lift the head and throw it further away from the water, and then I continued to walk towards Qin Bukong through the water.
