There is a corpse on the ground, a man's corpse, and his own corpse!

I would like to ask, when a person finds a corpse that looks exactly like himself, how will he react when faced with such a scene and such a picture?

"This... this, this is me!?"

At present, Smith was staring at his body with disbelief and a horrified expression. He was stunned on the spot. He seemed to have been struck by lightning. He did not react for a long time and kept mumbling to himself.

"I'm dead? I'm dead? I'm...dead?"

While muttering to himself, Smith was confused and fell into some kind of confusion and illusion where he couldn't tell the truth from reality. After all, this kind of thing could not happen in reality, but the fact was...the corpse lying in front of him was indeed himself. A 'Smith' that is exactly the same as myself!

In addition to being unable to understand, a sense of fear, a bone-chilling fear also swept through his body.

The reason is that when he saw the corpse clearly, his mind couldn't help but recall an incident, an incident that happened to him during the day, that is, before entering the town.

That is, long before he encountered a murderous madman in the forest, he, his wife Martha, and tour guide Frank had discovered a corpse. The body of a man who was dressed very similar to Smith. At first, the somewhat curious Smith tried to get closer. After seeing the appearance of the body clearly, but before he could get close, the three of them were chased into the town by a murderous madman who suddenly jumped out. Coupled with a series of changes after entering the town, Smith gradually put the matter behind him. Unexpectedly, Now, this familiar corpse is seen again inside the town.

And this time, it was not as hasty as before, and it was not as late as before to see the appearance clearly. This time, it was a close observation, a close look, and saw with one's own eyes that the corpse was one's own! It's Smith himself!

"Why? Why did this happen? Am I dead? This is impossible, I am obviously still alive?"

"This is impossible, impossible, I'm not dead, I'm not dead..."

Da da da.

Gradually, as the confusion became more intense and the fear increased, Smith, a middle-aged man with a successful career, collapsed. He began to tremble uncontrollably and muttered to himself, The legs slowly retreated, one after another in the opposite direction of the body...

However, after only taking five or six steps back, Smith stopped and could no longer retreat.

Because, while he was retreating, he was blocked by something, which suddenly made him unable to retreat.

His back suddenly touched something, something unknown that made him feel chilled to the bone as soon as he touched it.

In the empty street where there was only himself and a corpse, there seemed to be an extra person. He appeared on the street inexplicably and stood silently until he touched the other person when he stepped back without realizing it.

It felt like a human body, but that body was as cold as ice. It was like suddenly touching a large pile of ice cubes that made Smith's whole body cold and chilled.

(Is there someone behind you? Who is it?)

With this incomprehensible thought, Smith wanted to turn back, but before he could make a move, the 'other person' behind him had already spoken a word in his ear, a word that was almost like coming from a dark hell. The woman whispered:

"Look ahead, look at the corpse. You saw that right. That person is you, and you are indeed dead."

(Is that person really me? I am indeed dead? I...dead!?)

In silence, listening to the woman's words, Smith raised his head again and subconsciously looked forward again, looking at the other long-dead 'Smith'.

The strange thing is that when he went to see the body again, he saw that the body was not clear in his field of vision. It gradually became translucent, gradually faded, until it disappeared without a trace!

Seeing this scene, the man's eyes widened.

However, just when Smith was confused and didn't understand why the body disappeared, it seemed that Smith had guessed that he was confused. Behind him, a woman's voice came into his ears again, or she gave Smith the answer first:

"Because... you are about to replace him."

As soon as he finished speaking, a pair of pale and slender female arms stretched out from behind, passed over her waist, and hugged Smith tightly from behind...

Smith suddenly felt that his body was swept, enveloped, and even covered by a sudden low temperature.

A few seconds later, a series of strange and inexplicable sounds of ice cubes breaking were heard in the night...

Wow…

………

The waning moon gradually moves down, and slowly shifts its position in the night as time goes by. It seems that it is about to disappear, and it seems that it is planning to make its last curtain call due to the approaching morning.

In the small town of Crosso, in an abandoned cowshed.

"Hoo! Hoo! Hoo..."

The messy and dirty environment was ignored by He Fei. At this moment, he did nothing. He just hid in it and panted. But even when he was breathing, He Fei lowered his voice as much as possible, and at the same time used a pair of vigilant and fearful eyes. His eyes constantly scanned the outside world through the bullpen and scanned the surrounding streets.

Sweat streaked across his forehead from time to time, and fear covered his body for a long time.

Looking down at the phone screen, I saw that the time had reached 5 o'clock in the morning without even realizing it.

It was almost dawn, and He Fei also ran away all night.

Obviously, ever since Chen Hailong was killed by a female hawk, He Fei, this miserable college student, has been under multiple pressures of running away, fear, sadness and regret. The sadness comes from the death of his friend Chen Hailong, and the regret comes from not saving him. , even if he tried his best.

As for the fear, it clearly comes from the female locust itself, from this terrifying female locust!

He was followed and chased by the giant female moth head all night long. During this period, he hid here and there, running like a mouse being chased by a cat. At that time, he was almost frightened to death. After all, Chen Hailong's fate was there. , it is conceivable that, knowing the consequences of being caught, he could only run, run as hard as he could. Although his physical energy was greatly consumed, He Fei still gritted his teeth and held on. For him, it was better to die from exhaustion than to die without death. Whole corpse!

However, as the chase between a person and a head continued, He Fei gradually noticed something amiss, such as...

After chasing for a long time, he had slowed down his running speed due to excessive exhaustion. At that time, He Fei thought that he was finished, but unexpectedly, the female head who had been following behind actually slowed down the pursuit speed at the same time?

He Fei was very confused when he discovered this. He even had the idea of ​​​​an experiment in his doubts, but he finally gave up. After all, he did not dare to gamble or risk his own life. Once the experiment failed, he would wait for him. The only thing left is death, and like Chen Hailong, he died without a complete body.

In desperation, He Fei chose to continue running away, and continued to run wildly under the pursuit of the female hawk's head that had been following him from beginning to end.

Until an hour ago, He Fei, who was exhausted, used an alley to accelerate suddenly, turned around the alley, and successfully shook off the female man's head.

Finally, He Fei, who had already had a shadow of the house, hid in a cowshed on the street.
