Peng Hu was racing against time, racing against the God of Death, running as far away as possible before the effect of the golden light talisman dissipated, and getting as close as possible in a certain direction.
"Hoo! Hoo! Hoo!"
Da da da da da!
Mixed with sweat and heavy breathing, under the moonlight, ahead, Peng Hu found that he was almost finished and was about to be finished. It was not that he couldn't outrun the beast, but that he was exhausted and his body was getting heavier and heavier. The legs were also as if they were filled with lead and it was difficult to maintain.
So what if your physical ability is far beyond that of ordinary people? I am still a mortal, an ordinary human being. As long as I am a human, I will have physical limits. As long as I am a human, I cannot avoid physical fatigue.
In addition, he had consumed a lot of energy while avoiding swarms of hawks earlier, and now he could no longer run. The reason why he could still keep running was because of his will to survive. Unfortunately, persistence is persistence after all, Peng Hu. After all, he is not a superman, and his physical strength has its limit after all. He doesn't know how long he can hold on. The protection time of the golden light talisman has been greatly weakened, and his physical strength has been basically exhausted. However, the road ahead has no focus and no end.
Seeing this, Peng Hu had a vague feeling in his mind, an ominous premonition that was about to become a reality.
perhaps……
This run was the last run in his life.
Although this place called Yin Yang Road has no end, it does not prevent it from becoming the end of one's life.
(Is there still hope? Is it still too late? I am not afraid of death, but if the news is not delivered...I, I will not die in peace!)
………
"It still doesn't work. The communicator has no signal, and all that comes through is noise."
In the suburbs, in an abandoned wooden building near Yinyang Road, the candles were nearly half burned. Under the candlelight, everyone's faces were uncertain. After saying this, he took back his communicator. Yao Fujiang turned his gaze and looked to the rest of the people present.
Feeling the increasingly anxious gaze of the flat-headed young man, the executors sitting or standing around were shaking their heads with their respective communicators. Chen Xiaoyao was like this, Qian Xueling was like this, Liu Xueping was like this, and Zhao Ping was like this, but they were different from others. The difference is that after shaking his head, the bespectacled man immediately looked forward, towards the window, and towards He Fei, who had been standing in front of the window 10 minutes ago and had been silent for a long time.
He didn't say anything, didn't remind him, just stared at the young man's back, because he knew why the other person was silent, and could even vaguely guess what the other person was thinking.
Silence, continue until...
It wasn't until a few seconds later that the college student's heart began to beat wildly, inexplicably accelerating and trembling without any reason!
"Impossible, this is impossible..."
Then, He Fei moved, making sudden movements, muttering to himself like a hysterical lunatic while turning around suddenly, suddenly raising his left hand to his mouth, and then yelled at the ring with a nervous look on his face: " Brother Peng! Brother Peng, are you there!?".
Similar to intuition, similar to sixth sense, under the pressure of the unexplainable uneasiness, the college student became nervous instantly. He was so nervous that he directly used a spiritual link to contact Peng Hu, who had died 10 minutes ago without any news.
Some people may be confused after seeing this, wondering why the young man did not contact the bald man until 10 minutes after he lost contact. The reason is not complicated. There is only one reason, and that is trust.
Yes, Peng Hu's mission was just to find a police officer to investigate. The other person was a human being. It was conceivable that he would be able to capture a bald man who was a plot character. Even though Zhao Ping had guessed that the other person might be in danger a few minutes ago, but... Due to his absolute trust in Peng Hu's ability, He Fei still firmly believed that the other party would come back soon. Just like when he asked Cheng Ying to go downstairs to find out the news, the young man also waited in the room for a long time before taking the initiative to find the other party. In fact, no matter it was Cheng Ying or Peng Hu, He Fei has always believed in their abilities. He originally thought that after Cheng Ying was attacked, Peng Hu would learn from experience and act with caution in subsequent actions, but unexpectedly...
Unexpectedly, after waiting for a full 10 minutes, the other party still has not returned!
Coupled with the sudden beating of his heart a few seconds ago, He Fei finally realized that he was wrong. It was a big mistake. It was not that he had miscalculated the abilities of Cheng and Peng, but...
But he miscalculated how terrifying Grandma Qi was, and he underestimated Li Qi!
Or it can be understood as:
Through the attack on Cheng Ying alone at the beginning and the delay in Peng Hu's return now, the college student inexplicably came up with some kind of guess, a terrible guess that he had long forgotten.
That is... Grandma Qi is very likely to have self-awareness! ! !
To put it more bluntly, Qi Longxin is different from ordinary Li Qi. 'She' is actually a rare Li Qi who has self-awareness and even knows how to use strategies! ! !
That's right, He Fei suddenly found himself falling into a trap, a trap of inertial thinking that was completely avoidable. Since he learned early that Li Qi was mostly unconscious and could only kill like crazy, he was waiting to enter this game called Yin and Yang. After entering the mission world of Lu, He Fei subconsciously equated Granny Qi with Li Qi in previous missions. He believed that Granny Qi, as Li Qi, would only kill according to the instinct of animals. If Cheng Ying initially encountered You can still regard it as a coincidence. Then, after discovering that Peng Hu has not returned for a long time, the college student finally couldn't sit still. He was puzzled and questioned, that is, why is it such a coincidence? Why does Granny Qi rarely attack when the enforcers gather, but will attack 100% of the time when someone is alone?
unless……
If the guess is correct, wouldn't it mean that Peng Hu is now...
(No! No, no!)
"Brother Peng! Brother Peng, are you there!?"
"Answer me! Answer me quickly!!!"
At this moment, everyone was stunned when they witnessed He Fei's actions and listened to the opponent's yelling. Except for newcomer Liu Xueping, who was simply shocked by the opponent's strange behavior of shouting at the ring, the others were surprised that He Fei overreacted. Obviously, they knew that The ring in the young man's hand has the ability to communicate regardless of interference from supernatural forces, but he doesn't understand why the other party is so anxious and impatient. Even if there is no news about Peng Hu, most people just guess that the bald man may be in danger. However, at this time At this moment, He Fei was as frightened as if he was 100% sure that the other party was in danger.
Let's get back to the topic, let's put aside the doubts in our hearts for the moment. Seeing He Fei activate the spiritual link, the people nearby suddenly calmed down and stopped talking, for fear of disturbing He Fei, they just cast their eyes on the young man, but...
I yelled for a long time and yelled for a long time, but there was no reply. From the beginning to the end, there was no reply from Peng Hu.
Faced with such a result, He Fei's heart sank, and cold sweat appeared on his forehead involuntarily.
For others, although they did not understand the specific communication method of spiritual link, they could see He Fei's expression, and everyone became more and more uneasy. After waiting for a while, after confirming that there was still no reply, a guess was enough to make He Fei. The terrifying speculation of splitting liver and gallbladder came to mind. .
(Why no reply? The spiritual link is different from ordinary communication. The spiritual link will never be interfered by any supernatural power, unless, unless Brother Peng has...)
(No way, are you kidding me?).
Thinking of this, He Fei quickly shook his head, he didn't believe it! He firmly does not believe that Peng Hu will die. It is undeniable that this mission called Yin Yang Road is very strange, but after all it is just an ordinary mission. Who is Peng Hu? He is a veteran who has survived many high-level and even difficult-level missions. Would such a person die in a mere ordinary-level mission?
Don’t believe it, never believe it! ! !
only……
Although I desperately force myself to deny my guesses, and although I don't want to believe the worst outcome from beginning to end, the reality cannot be changed, and the naked reality is still in front of me. What is reality? The reality was that all the calls were fruitless, and Peng Hu did not reply for a long time.
(I don’t believe it, I don’t believe it!)
Mixed with mania and uneasiness, He Fei shouted towards the ring again: "Brother Peng! Brother Peng, did you hear it? I am He Fei. I will speak when I hear you, and I can receive the reply directly in my mind!"
The sound came out again, but unfortunately, this time, it was still silent, still silent.
However...
Just when He Fei was sweating more and more, just when the young man felt like he had fallen into an ice cellar, and when everyone on the scene was turning pale...
A paragraph of words, a breath of words mixed with endless exhaustion, came into He Fei's mind:
"Hoo! Hoo! You, are you He Fei?"
This is, this is Peng Hu's voice!
Because the voice appeared directly in the mind, others around him did not know it. Even so, when they saw the lightning-like change in He Fei's face, some people still vaguely realized something in an instant, and then their expressions changed like He Fei's. happiness.
(Could it be...)
As for He Fei, after he quickly determined that the voice was from Peng Hu, sure enough, the big stone that the college student was holding in his heart instantly fell to the ground. He was right, but after noticing the breathless tone of the other party, the young man felt something in his heart again. He immediately frowned and replied anxiously: "Yes, I am He Fei. I am now mentally linked to you through the captain's exclusive ring. Brother Peng, tell me where you are now. Are you in danger?"
He Fei asked again and again, and Peng Hu's voice came again, but compared with just now, this time it was more tired and urgent. Not only that, despite being tired, his words in reply were full of farewell charm:
"Hoo, ho, stop it, you kid, don't talk to me about my personal safety. Anyway, I will die in a short time at most. I am hopeless. Hoo, ho... The situation is urgent right now, nonsense. I won’t say much, I will tell you the location of the urn now. The dead old woman’s urn is buried under a certain road sign on Yin Yang Road. Unfortunately, I ran all the way but didn’t find the road sign.”
"My mission is completed. I finally passed the news to you. Oh, by the way. Remember to hold a memorial service for me after I die. The more grand the better. Okay, I won't tell you. Damn, these bastards are so fast, I can't concentrate on talking..."
The above was Peng Hu's answer, and it was also the last part of the bald man's voice. There was silence after that, and there has been no reply since.
He Fei was shocked on the spot! ! !
Yes, although Peng Hu had just informed him of the location of the urn, judging from the tone of the other party and the information revealed, He Fei discovered Ni Duan immediately and guessed the reality. What is the reality? The reality is that Peng Hu is actually on the Yin and Yang Road and is even chased by a swarm of hawks! .
Why? Why is this happening? In my impression, Peng Hu obviously rushed to the city to look for the fat police officer, right? Why are we now on the road of yin and yang?
what happened? Why did things become like this? It shouldn’t, it shouldn’t at all? .
"Brother Peng, hold on! Keep running, keep running! I'll rush to save you!"
Of course, although he was puzzled and suspicious, in reality He Fei had no ink marks at all. After uttering a warning word towards the ring, he quickly turned around, waved to everyone in the room and shouted: "The location of the urn Got it, Brother Peng is also being chased by Qi on Yin Yang Road, I’m worried that he won’t be able to hold on for long, let’s get there quickly!”
As mentioned above, because he was too worried about Peng Hu's safety, He Fei ran to the bed in three steps and then carried Cheng Ying on his back before others could recover from the shocking news. Without hesitation he ran downstairs.
As expected, seeing the young captain running downstairs, he suddenly came to his senses. The others followed him to the first floor without saying a word. Only Liu Xueping was confused and slow to react. It was obvious that as a newcomer, she did not know Why were others anxious to leave? However, after seeing clearly the nervous expressions on everyone's faces, she, who was already frightened, still followed him in panic under the impulse of instinct.
It is also worth mentioning that when they learned that everyone was about to rush to Yin Yang Road to rescue Peng Hu, many of the executors secretly admired He Fei and admired the young man's foresight while going downstairs. Fortunately, everyone chose this building close to Yin Yang early. The wooden building on the road was used as a resting place, so they could rush to Yinyang Road as quickly as possible for rescue. If everyone was in the city at this moment, then one can imagine Peng Hu's fate.
With his thoughts ups and downs, mixed with all kinds of worries, He Fei arrived at the first floor first. Yes, he was very impatient, unparalleled impatient. In his impatience, he just ran and moved forward. He quickly rushed to the door and raised his hand to push towards the door. Can……
Just when he thought he would leave the wooden building and run to the outside world in a second, and just when the others behind him also thought so, a change happened.
The door didn't move at all. .
No matter how hard you try, no matter how hard you push or pull, the old-fashioned wooden door in front of you, which looks shabby and fragile, remains tightly closed from beginning to end!
………
"Ah ah!"
Bang! Bang!
The sounds of impact continued one after another, and loud shouts could be heard. However, no matter how hard Yao Fujiang and Zhao Ping kicked, the wooden door remained motionless this time, as if it was no longer a wooden door in front of them, but an anti-theft iron door comparable to a bank vault. As strong as a door.
what happened? Why can't the door open? I remember that when I entered the wooden building earlier, the door was kicked open by Zhao Ping. If that was the case, why now...
Seeing that the door was extremely strong, and seeing that Yao and Zhao kicked the door to no avail, behind, He Fei, who was carrying Cheng Ying, understood. He instantly understood what was going on. It was obvious that the door was blocked and was being used by someone. The supernatural power is closed! The purpose is nothing more than to trap everyone, stop them, trap them as executors here, and then prevent everyone from rescuing Peng Hu!
What a vicious cockroach, what a cunning cockroach!
It seems that the guess is correct. Granny Qi is indeed conscious and even knows how to use strategies. In other words, everything in front of her is calculated by Granny Qi!
However, after thinking about it, I understood it. Now that the door is closed, how can everyone get out? How to rescue Peng Hu? .
Let’s not talk about how He Fei’s expression changed in front of the door. At the same time, the crowd was farther back. If He Fei or other executioners were all anxious at this moment, trying to break out of the door, then Chen Xiaoyao, who was at the end of the crowd, was completely in the dark. In a sluggish state, he just stared at the wooden door without saying a word, and a turmoil arose in his heart.
The reason is very simple, because as early as the afternoon, before everyone entered the wooden building, he had a backup plan. In order to prevent accidents, he specially posted a Taoist talisman with the ability to repel lobsters in front of the door, but it was of no use! Not to mention driving away locusts, even the most basic early warning capability was not produced!
Others may not know it, but Chen Xiaoyao has a deep understanding of things like locusts. In the real world, his master once told him many things about locusts. According to what the master said before his death, there are actually very many locusts in the world, but the big ones are Most locusts cannot pose a threat to humans. This kind of locust is generally called a soul, which belongs to the spiritual soul that naturally leaves the body after death. Although it can also be classified as a locust, it basically has no ability to attack humans. As for Slightly stronger than souls are those lonely souls who died for no reason. Note that from here on, worms can pose a threat to humans. Of course, threats are threats. Since lonely souls are completely unconscious and have weak abilities, under normal circumstances some A Taoist alchemist or monk can still expel a single or a small number of lonely souls.
Seeing this, some people may ask, since Chen Xiaoyao knows something about the levels of locusts, are there any other locusts besides souls that are basically no threat to humans and lonely souls that pose a certain threat?
The answer is yes, there are, not only there are, but each one is more terrifying than the last and each one is more difficult to deal with. .
For example, above the solitary soul, there is a more threatening creature, the solitary soul, which is a high-level solitary soul with clear consciousness.
As mentioned above, things like the kaihui are the product of the awakening of the lone soul. Their strength is almost the same as that of the lone soul. Strictly speaking, they are still in the category of lone souls. However, the biggest difference is that the cymbidium has a clear consciousness. This kind of thing The most terrifying thing is that it knows that it is a locust, so it is much scarier than a lonely soul. It is also extremely cunning and often harms people invisible. It is difficult for ordinary Taoists to deal with it. The only good thing is that the number of such things is very small. , not one of the thousands of lonely souls may have been born. So far, Chen Xiaoyao has never encountered a mantis, and the details he knows only come from what his master said.
As for what's above the demon? .
The answer is undoubtedly Li Qi. They are those Qi who have suffered great injustice and have deep resentments. Due to their deep resentment, Li Qi's strength is extremely unnatural. It is still worth noting that starting from the level of Li Qi, Qi began to officially possess all kinds of strange abilities. He has supernatural abilities, and Li Qi is born to kill only for the sake of killing. No matter how many ordinary people there are, once they encounter Li Qi, their hope of survival is infinitely close to zero!
Obviously, the person who could easily break the Taoist talisman and then further seal the door was definitely not Guhun Qi Mei, but 100% the dead grandmother Qi Longxin who had already turned into Li Qi!
………
(No, we can’t delay any longer, and we don’t have time to think about ways to break the ban. We must cut through the mess quickly. Brother Peng, hold on, I’m here to save you!)
"Stop! Stop kicking me!"
Back to the subject, in front of the door, it was confirmed that the door was sealed, and the kicking of the door was ineffective. Just when Yao Fujiang's right leg from kicking was numb and he was about to switch to his left leg to continue kicking, He Fei stopped the young man's movement with a loud shout. Seeing the young man's obstruction, Zhao Pingruo He was thoughtful and didn't say anything. Only Yao Fujiang turned around and shouted to He Fei with a puzzled tone: "Stop? Why stop? Brother Peng is in danger now!"
"Of course I know that Brother Peng is in danger, but now that the door has been sealed, what do you think is the point of continuing to kick him in?"
Having said this, he paused, scanned the crowd in front of the door, and finally gritted his teeth and continued: "This kind of supernatural power cannot be broken with brute force!"
Exactly as expected, when He Fei personally said that the door seal could not be broken, Qian Xueling's face changed drastically, and Liu Xueping was confused. Upon hearing this, Yao Fujiang suddenly became anxious, and immediately became even more anxious. He asked in a tone of voice: "What's the reason for not getting out? Are we just going to let the traps trap us and just sit back and watch Brother Peng be killed?"
Due to the urgency of the situation, Yao Fujiang's tone was stronger than usual. He Fei did not mind the other party's attitude. After all, he understood the other party and knew how the flat-headed young man was. In fact, his anxiety level at this moment was much higher than Yao Fujiang's, but he was anxious. What is it for? What's the use of panicking? Being blindly impatient won't help, so he can only force himself to calm down, but unfortunately...
Even though he had forced himself to calm down, the worry about Peng Hu still hit him like a tide, making his mind uneasy, making him restless, making him unable to think calmly, and completely thinking about it in the following time. Without a way to break it, there is absolutely nothing we can do to the door in front of us. .
He Fei was like this, and so were others. As time passed, all the executors fell into a state of helplessness they had never experienced before.
Until the anxiety in my heart becomes unbearable, until veins appear on my forehead, until the increasingly panicked anxiety reaches its peak and reaches its limit.
(Damn it, in that case...)
brush!
Next, He Fei moved and reached into his pocket. When the next second came, he saw a string of golden beads in his hand.
This is……
The Damo Bead is a powerful exorcism item that can even break through Sadako's barrier. It is also He Fei's only exorcism item since the Soul Suppressing Bracelet was damaged. It is also the only item that can be used in the entire mission. Once the exorcism tool is used once, He Fei has nothing to rely on, and he has no means of saving his life thereafter.
But, so what? So what can he do! ?
Still not waiting for anyone else to react, as soon as he took out the beads, the young man walked towards the door without saying a word!
(Brother Peng, I will not let you die, I will never let you die!)
……………
