This shouldn't be a human face.
The one on the left is that of a child. Long and deep horizontal lines spread down layer by layer from the top of his forehead, covering his eyes until only a few glimmers remained. Looking down, there is a huge protruding nose. Further down, there are only a pair of large front teeth that extend beyond the lips and an almost nonexistent chin.
Like a baby mouse.
The one on the right belongs to my mother. Her face is covered with a light layer of short hair, her face is round, and her eyes are even rounder. A pair of vertical eyes were embedded in the eyeballs, reflecting a faint green light under the light.
Like an old cat.
Cat and mouse?
Li Changan already had his sword in his hand, looking at each other coldly through the light.
He saw himself ready to go in the eyes of mother and son, and presumably the mother and son also saw each other in his eyes.
then……
"squeak."
The rat spoke first.
Li Changan's expression was stern. The sword had only been unsheathed for half an inch, but he was surprised to find that the opponent did not pounce on him, but rolled to the ground. He saw a bare, thin and long fleshy tail swinging out of his pants and beating in the air. There was a sound, and the person turned into a blurry shadow, sticking to the ground, and suddenly jumped out.
"Meow!"
The shrill meowing behind the ears made the hair on one's hair stand on end.
Li Changan quickly turned around, but there was no one at the table, only a set of clothes was left on the ground.
Where did it go?
He quickly looked again.
But in the edge of the light, he saw a plump and white body crouching, his back slightly bent, outlining a gentle curve.
One of her hands was pressed to her lips, licking her tongue lazily, while her other hand firmly pressed the tip of her tail.
The tip of a rat's tail.
"Squeak, squeak, squeak!"
The rat screamed and kicked around, struggling desperately, but its seemingly weak arms did not move at all. He couldn't get away, so in a hurry, he turned around and bit with his front teeth.
Snapped!
But he was slapped on the head and fell to the ground dizzy.
The cat mother slowly rubbed the back of her hands.
Suddenly leaned over.
Stab.
Blood splattered and the stench spread.
He actually bit off an arm of his own child.
Then he casually tossed it aside, wiped the remaining blood from the corner of his mouth with the back of his hand, and spread it evenly on his face.
The mouse was in great pain and struggled for life again. This time he managed to get away, but before he could take two steps, his mother jumped lightly and blocked the way like a ghost.
Snapped!
Another slap slapped him back.
The mother cat was not in a hurry to take advantage of the victory. She just paced slowly on all fours, waiting with interest for the mouse to change direction and run wildly. Then she blocked it again and slapped it back...
This was done seven or eight times.
The rat finally lost the strength to escape and lay on the ground with his eyes lifeless. The blood seeping from his mouth, nose and broken arm formed a small pool of blood.
The mother cat pulled the child's body a few times, but couldn't get any response. She immediately let out a dissatisfied meow, turned him over, pressed her back, opened her bloody mouth, and bit down on the back of the neck.
puff.
The lights that destroyed Li Changan.
The house returned to darkness and silence. It was as if the cat-and-mouse play just now was just an illusion created by the lights, disappearing as the lights went out, until...
Two pairs of lights lit up in the darkness.
The scarlet ones are the eyes of rats. The pale green eyes are the cat mother's eyes.
They no longer looked at each other, but stared directly at Li Changan.
Ah.
It turns out that this is how the plot develops after the lights are turned on and off.
Li Changan satisfied his curiosity to seek death and drew his sword out of its sheath.
boom!
Naturally, this was not the sound of a sword being unsheathed, but the door being suddenly knocked open.
The moonlight poured into the dark room, and the room suddenly became bright. The mother and son were stunned for a moment when they were about to kill him. A figure took the opportunity to sneak in and clasp Li Changan's shoulders.
"Walk!"
He led the Taoist priests up from the ground, broke through the tile roof, and walked away on the moon.
…………
"I asked you not to light the lamp, but you refused to listen."
"At night, everyone may turn into a monster and cause trouble. It's just that it's easier for some people and harder for some. It's just a matter of chance. Aunt Shu's family is pretty good, as long as the mother and son are not allowed to see each other's faces clearly at night. . But you, a Taoist priest, refuse to listen to advice. Now that’s it, where can I find another shelter for you?”
Under the moonlight.
Li Changan hugged the girl tightly, as if wind wings were sprouting from the soles of his feet, flying all the way among the walls, roof ridges, and treetops.
Although the girl who calls herself a "heroine" complains fiercely, she forgets it quickly and has already begun to look for a new family for the Taoist priest.
"Zhou Xiucai's family is not good. Although her family doesn't cannibalize people, they are still very entangled."
There is an elegant small courtyard at the foot. From a distance, it is covered in white, as if it has been covered with fresh snow. But when you get closer, you find that it is covered with thick cobwebs.
"Butcher Zhu's family is not good either. There are too many people in his family. He is a very impetuous person, and he might turn someone into a demon."
On the left is a compact house, with all the dark windows open, and many scarlet eyes can be faintly seen.
"Except the guard... it's okay, he just turned into a monster yesterday, and the whole family was eaten up by him."
On the right is a mansion with a large area, but it is completely silent and there is no sound at all.
The girl picked things up left and right, but she didn't know that Li Changan behind her had other thoughts in mind.
The nightmare itself cannot dream, and all it can control and use are the dreams of others. Then, there must be someone behind this unexpected dream, and it is probably the girl in front of him. If he follows the previous method and suddenly stabs her with a sword...
"what are you up to?!"
The heroine suddenly turned around.
The Taoist priest's steps froze, and he glanced at the unsheathed sword in his hand, his face changing as well.
"It's really hard for a female hero to perform righteous deeds and kill demons at the same time. As the saying goes, a sword matches a hero. I'm going to give this sword to you as a repayment for saving your life!"
Li Changan has never doubted his courage or believed in his acting skills. Unexpectedly...
"Really!"
The girl's rosy eyes suddenly bulged out, and without any suspicion, she snatched the long sword from Li Changan's hand, like a child who got his favorite toy, and started playing with it.
Li Changan shook his head and laughed.
It was because of the childish behavior of the girl, and also because of my own random thoughts just now.
I don't know if he was affected by the dream or because he was so anxious that he came up with such a bad idea.
It should be noted that the thirty-seven members of the Jin family were able to escape from the dream because talismans were prepared to guide their souls before entering the dream. The girl was obviously out of the plan. Where could she prepare the talisman in advance? Even if someone stabs someone in the back, it will only damage their energy and even their soul in vain.
Let's think of other ways.
However, if the demon is possessed in the dream, what will happen to the situation outside the dream?
While thinking.
Suddenly a rooster was heard singing dawn in the city.
Looking back to the east.
The sky becomes white.
…………
"Hurry up!"
"Push against the doors and windows!"
The main hall of Jin Mansion.
The howling wind made the firelight in the house flicker, the doors and windows swing wildly, and the tiles on the beams turned over and rustled.
Outside the house, the night fog was as thick as cast iron, and countless huge or weird shadows were laughing and screaming in it.
Inside the house, Bo Ziyu led the policemen and Mrs. Jin led the servants, locking the doors and windows and sealing the talismans against the strong wind, while more people just huddled in the house and trembled, howling, begging, cursing, screaming, and then wept with tears. Shit and urine flowed down.
Bo Ziyu's heart felt cold.
How could he still not see that he and others had been treated by demons, and that the Jin family was a trap!
After the two Taoist priests didn't wake up as planned, the night fog suddenly became as thick as iron stone, imprisoning the entire Jin Mansion, and many demons appeared, driving everyone into the small main hall.
Bo Ziyu had no choice but to lead everyone and use the talismans left by Feng Chong as a precaution to secure the house. But could a few talismans and four walls be enough to resist the demon?
Bo Ziyu couldn't help but cast his eyes towards the altar in the center of the room. The two Taoist priests had their eyes closed, showing no signs of waking up. Zhang Yi stayed by their side, never moving a step and not letting anyone get close.
People under extreme emotions will always do stupid and crazy things.
For example, fear.
"I don't want to die here..."
In the crowd, a government servant held his head and looked in a daze.
Sudden.
He screamed and rushed out of the crowd, opened the window, and pretended to climb out.
Bo Ziyu was shocked.
"return!"
The words were not spoken yet.
A ghost claw poked out from the shadows, grabbed the man, and dragged him into the night fog, leaving behind a series of shrill screams.
But soon, the screams disappeared, replaced by a chilling chewing sound.
Subsequently.
"puff."
Just like when someone eats an orange and spits out the seeds, a pool of chewed bones and blood are sprayed into the room. Bo Ziyu and a few people who were brave enough to close the window were suddenly sprayed with bloody filth on their faces, and the others Everyone stopped in fear and vomiting, only Bo Ziyu braved the situation and rushed forward alone.
The last window was closed and the last talisman was sealed.
The talisman seemed to really work.
The strong wind suddenly subsided a lot, and the strange noises of the monsters were no longer heard.
Bo Ziyu wiped the dirt on his face carelessly, looked back at the frightened people, and tried his best to smile:
"Don't worry, everyone, there are the talismans left by Daozhang Feng. As long as we don't get into trouble, we will definitely be able to hold on until..."
boom!
It was a crash that was enough to make people despair.
The door that was blocked by tables and chairs burst open.
The ferocious giant face that was peeping on the wall earlier broke in.
