After releasing the hand covering the wound, Xie Chen's mind became clearer and he stared at the surroundings. The black liquid that fell to the ground seemed to be alive and swimming around.
Some even got into the doors of several houses and clung to them like shadows. Then the empty bowls at the door shook violently, as if something was born inside.
Xie Chen was alert for a moment, fearing that some monster would pop out of these bowls the next second.
But after this violent tremor, the entire bowl became quiet. I stood there and stared at it for a while, and then breathed a sigh of relief when I realized that there was nothing unusual.
After just a few steps, I found two more small holes on the ground in front of me.
In front of the small pit, there is a larger pit.
I put rice in the empty bowl in an orderly manner. Since there was still some distance, I slowed down and got closer to give myself some time to check.
Although I have some doubts in my heart, could these three pits be made by the thunder that I remembered earlier?
But when I thought about it again, I felt it was a bit impossible.
Even if those thunders were extremely loud, they couldn't be so close.
Otherwise, if the sound alone can deafen me, how could it be possible that the power could only create such a small hole?
As Xie Chen walked forward slowly, a black figure passed by the alley in front, and then lay down in the corner and stared straight at this side.
I could feel the strange gaze, and I could even tell where it was.
But he didn't come closer on purpose, and he didn't make a sound to chase them away.
Taking advantage of the opportunity to put rice into the empty bowl, I took a few sidelong glances out of the corner of my eyes.
Although it wasn't very clear, I could still vaguely see it clearly.
A faint cyan light appeared in his eyes. It was not particularly clear, but from the angle, he could tell that it was the spine of the black shadow.
The black shadow moved back and forth, changing its position several times in the middle, from the alley entrance on the right to the upper gap on the left.
As he got closer and closer, he also ran further and further away.
In the end, Xie Chen couldn't help but took the lead in breaking the deadlock.
"Who is standing there?"
"Come out quickly, don't hide!"
Xie Chen yelled at the entrance of the alley, and a black figure immediately jumped out at an alarming speed.
This black shadow suddenly blended into the surrounding environment, and the dim blackness merged with its figure. The two complemented each other, and his own eyes also lost the vision they should have.
Xie Chen hurriedly took a few steps forward to catch up. After all, there were bowls filled with rice right in front of him, and he was not afraid that the rice would not be put into the bowls.
But he seemed to be in darkness.
The moonlight above was completely obscured by dark clouds. Although it was very bright before, it was now extremely dark.
Xie Chen stood there with confusion and confusion on his face.
The black shadow just now did not look like the blue bamboo strip paper man, but there was something green on the spine of the back.
It’s hard not to think of cyan-related paper figures.
Even the green clothes he is wearing may be related to this aspect.
If you say something unpleasant, it is very likely that you will become like this.
After all, the torn green clothes and the absent-minded look are the biggest features of the green bamboo strip paper man.
Xie Chen continued to walk in a straight line. Although the area in front of him became dark, fortunately, as long as he could walk straight, there wouldn't be much mistakes.
Shaking from side to side and threatening him, two black shadows suddenly squeezed towards him from the side. Although the speed was not fast, the distance was too short and he couldn't react for a while.
The moment the two shadows were about to touch him, they turned into a whole mass and wrapped themselves tightly.
Xie Chen gritted his teeth and felt that the flesh on his body was being strangled and painful, as if he was being scraped with a steel blade.
And this is indeed the case.
Under the squeeze of these two black shadows, his body began to fester, and the green clothes on his body also broke into small holes unconsciously.
Xie Chen took a breath of cold air.
Because where the skin is in contact with the black shadow, I can feel some black fluid getting into my body.
Even if you tighten your muscles, you can still feel these things coursing through your blood vessels.
Although he struggled fiercely, it was still of no use.
In less than two minutes, my hands and feet immediately felt soreness in my brain.
My mental state is extremely unstable. If I haven't violated the rules, I shouldn't have these shadows.
The rules in this loess alley are so intricate that they even feel like they are changing at any time.
He raised his head, with bloodshot eyes around his pupils. When he was forced to look at the sky, he discovered that the dark clouds that originally blocked the moon were actually shadows like this that stuck to him.
I can't remember exactly when I turned into the alley for the first time, but the moon in the sky began to be blocked by these shadows.
But now there seems to be no way to avoid this situation.
Xie Chen gasped quickly to avoid having trouble breathing due to the shadow sticking too tightly to him.
This did have a small effect, but that was all. The symptoms of difficulty breathing still appeared, and soon occupied all of his consciousness.
For some reason, the next black shadows clinging to his body disappeared automatically, and then they completely released themselves.
I was almost out of breath, but I finally got some time to breathe.
I don't quite understand the disappearance of those black shadows.
The moon above the head did not come out, and was still blocked by those black shadows. But if you look at it now, there is no shadow at all, and it looks more like the dark clouds you originally thought.
Xie Chen was a little confused and couldn't figure out the situation at all. Which perspective was safer for him to look at now?
As soon as he stood up, the pain in his legs and feet spread to his brain again.
Only then did he realize that there were black fluids stuck in his body. If these things were not taken out early, it might really threaten his life.
But he wasn't attacked by any shadow before?
Why do these same black things still flow out of the wound after being scratched?
Could it be that the shadow on my body also counts?
Xie Chen looked at the shadow on the side in shock, but found that he could not even see his own shadow, as if there was no such thing as a shadow in this place.
"How can it be?"
"Logically, this situation shouldn't exist."
Xie Chen was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat. His own shadow was nowhere to be seen. So was the one who just attacked him his own shadow?
The green bamboo strip paper man, plus the black shadow that just appeared, already have two things that are difficult to figure out.
The blue bamboo strip paper man said that he wanted to go home. This is indeed something worth pondering.
Although the so-called home may not necessarily be the only exit, but the meaning is probably not much different, but the guy has completely lost his mind and has even become a little less like a human being.
The strange thing is that when I was stuck by those two black shadows, I actually had a picture of this in my mind.
It seemed that he was wearing a broken green dress, and he was holding a shimmering piece of green bamboo in his hand.
"No one is a real person, and no one can truly live, right?"
Xie Chen murmured to himself.
I seem to have read this sentence somewhere, but if I try to think hard, I can't remember it completely.
I can only vaguely remember that when I touched these words with my hand, I saw that these words were carved on something rough, and the thing was very hard.
It's like, almost like a stone.
It feels familiar to the surroundings, but not so stone-like.
After all, if there were rocks around, then the place he was in at that time might be too bad.
Xiechen took a deep breath and staggered forward, dragging his sore thighs. He could only pray that there would be fragrant rice like the one that appeared before.
You can also deal with the black fluid staying on your body.
This feeling is actually a bit too bleak. Now that I am in this loess alley, I will instinctively feel scared and fearful.
There was not much rice left in the handful of rice in my hand. When I put it into some empty bowls without rice, I also saved a lot.
Instead of putting in a little bit of rice balls like before, I slowly put in a few grains of rice.
This will at least save you some time, and also save the amount of rice in your hand.
At least when I looked forward, there was not a single house in the entire alley whose bowl was full.
All is empty.
There was even some incense laid sideways in the bowl, but it was not lit.
To put it bluntly, I regretted turning in this direction. If I had continued walking in the direction of the rice, the situation would probably have been much better.
Maybe I don’t have to go through such trouble now.
Even the green bamboo paper man he met just now, plus the two black figures, might be his life-killing talisman.
When there is really no other way, he can only use soldiers to cover up the water and earth.
But the key is that now he is unarmed and has no soldiers, fire and earth to send to him.
Xie Chen sighed, his spirit already a little sluggish, and he kept walking on this road. When he could leave this loess alley, it became his extravagant hope.
The bright moon in the sky reappeared, making people feel that the cold moonlight was shining from the sky again.
It's just that the alley he's walking in is still extremely dark, and he can only barely reach out when he can see a few of his fingers, and sometimes there may even be double images.
But those white bowls seemed to glow. Even in such a dark situation, I could still see clearly whether there was rice in the bowls by looking at them.
If conditions permit, I might even take a bite of the rice I have now to see if it can solve the dangers around me.
Although it is indeed naive to say this, how can a person who is gradually on the verge of emotional collapse care about so much?
After walking forward for an unknown amount of time, in a hazy state, I seemed to see a flickering white streak.
Xie Chen rubbed his eyes hard twice, fearing that he might have seen wrongly.
But the white strip was still floating in place, and Xie Chen immediately became overjoyed.
Because when it floats, it means there is wind. To be able to blow such a big white strip under so many houses and shake it so violently means that it is not just the wind.
At least it can be seen that there is absolutely no house covering the land.
Most likely a wide road.
