Chen An took a deep breath and closed his eyes. He could feel the coldness flowing slowly in his nose and on his skin along with the mountain wind.
It's as if there is a ball of warmth in my heart, which is constantly being dissipated by the cold, so that...
"wide awake"
...
"Red, guide red flag."
Suddenly, Chen Anming realized that although he didn't know the specific reason, he already knew some of the principles of this rule.
Moving his steps, his shoes made a rustling sound on the dry grass.
After swallowing, Chen An mustered up the courage to turn over Xue Yue'er's battered body, which looked like a twisted human spider. He used his thumb and index finger to open Xue Yue'er's eyelids, once again revealing the striking scarlet pupils. .
At this moment, the passion in my heart surged again.
"As expected...in this mountain forest, red seems to be a very special color. It can prevent me from being eroded by the cold air and prevent me from becoming...weird?"
The eyes were wet, and the nerve endings connected to the back were torn apart by Chen An's force.
The squeaking sounds around me became clearer and louder...and denser, as if they were very close.
Chen An took a deep breath, held the two wet eyes with mucus in his hands, and ran quickly towards the gravel road.
The physical exertion was far less than the fatigue caused by high mental stress. Chen An didn't know how he persisted until now. There were only a few thoughts left in his mind to support his actions.
Be sure to follow the rules!
Every half minute, look at the red eyes!
Follow the gravel road all the way up to...the Mountain Temple!
"On the mobile phone, apart from the rules told by the guide, there are still blank places that I need to explore on my own."
Chen An murmured to himself.
"That is to say, there are other unknown rules in this mountain that I don't know about."
Since I don't know...it means danger, and it means that I am likely to violate the rules unconsciously.
At this moment, Chen An felt cold sweat break out from behind.
With the experience of Tieba rules and guide rules, Chen An deeply understands that once a violation is violated, the consequences will be irreversible and terrifying!
But if you don’t even know the rules, how can you ensure that you don’t break the rules?
Chen An felt his throat was choked and dry.
The steps he took became stiff.
"Huh...huh..."
He raised his head and gasped for breath. In the dark blue night sky in front of him, there were stars. The shadows of the surrounding trees were like giant claws. They clung to the world in front of him. They bared their teeth and claws, and there seemed to be an abyss and hell in front of him. The top of the mountain, which is still some distance away, cannot be seen clearly.
Beneath his feet, amid the overgrown grass on the gravel road, Chen An suddenly couldn't move forward.
"What if there was a rule that... you can't enter halfway up the mountain, kind of...?"
Chen An suddenly felt panic in his heart. He was so afraid that if he took another step forward, he would be broken at the waist or turn into a monster.
He stood there blankly, the cold sweat on his forehead, the coldness on his back, and the mountain wind blowing over his skin soaked in cold sweat, all of which made him tremble.
"No... there will be a way to survive... there will be."
Chen An didn't know how long it had been since he was standing here. Was it a few minutes or ten minutes? Or half an hour?
But he finally took a deep breath, the muscles in his cheeks were spasming, and he spoke these words with trembling teeth.
Your eyes are so cold, are you crying?
My head feels dizzy...
Every time I take a step, I feel horror and trembling in my heart, as if at any moment, the next stone will collapse, and then the whole person will fall into hell!
...
Chen An didn't know how long he had been walking. In short, when he saw the ruined temple with dark red wall paint appearing in front of him, the sky was still dim and the stars were still hanging above his head.
"Ha ha..."
Chen An wiped the wind-dried moisture from the corners of his eyes and panted heavily. The ruined temple in front of him seemed like life, like hope. Now it stood in front of Chen An's eyes.
He had the urge to collapse on the ground and lie down to rest. Muscle soreness and mental exhaustion came like a tide, seeming to overwhelm him.
But he didn't dare, not even to sit down and rest. What if there was a rule that said he couldn't sit down?
You can't make mistakes...you have to...obey the rules...
Chen An stood there and panted for a moment. He lowered his head and looked at the scarlet eyeball in his hand, only to find that the color of the scarlet pupils seemed to have faded a little?
It was originally scarlet, but now it gradually turned into deep red, like...
Are your eyes fading?
"The eyeballs also have a time limit? When helping me fight against the darkness... they also consume red?"
Chen An didn't know what to call that warmth, so he called it "red" for now.
You must find a replacement before the redness in your eyes completely fades!
Chen An felt a little lucky. He smiled miserably. Fortunately, he didn't waste more time down there. Judging from the color of his eyes, he should be able to hold on for a while.
It also gave myself life.
Chen An looked at the mountain temple in front of him.
This is a small, broken temple. The red paint on the walls has faded and peeled off. The red wall skin has a layer of bumps and irregularities. I don’t know if it is made of earth or what kind of wall. It is also a little shaky. .
Chen An took a deep breath, looked at the darkness and blur in the temple, and walked straight in.
When he walked into the courtyard and pushed open the creaking door of the temple, he was greeted by bright lights.
Stepping on the dry old wooden floor, the most conspicuous thing in front of you is a statue of a land lord, painted with oil paint, or with some signs of fading and dryness due to disrepair over time.
Under the statue, there is a brown incense burner with three uneven broken incense sticks on it.
Directly in front of the statue are several dirty futons, which should be places for villagers to kneel and worship.
Around it, on both sides of the statue, are two independent slender lamp posts, with two groups of carved bronze lamp plates embroidered in them.
What makes Chen An feel a little weird is that the base of this bronze lamp panel is in the shape of a lying rabbit, just like...a rabbit was disemboweled, its internal organs were taken out, the skin was peeled off and cramped, and it was pierced. The lamppost is up.
The place where the rabbit's internal organs should have been was now filled with lamp oil, burning a wick, and flickering with light.
The brightness of the oil lamp was not very high, and it could barely allow Chen An to see clearly what was inside the temple.
"Huh... Theoretically, the mountain temple is safe."
No matter how weird the surrounding scene was, Chen An also felt that it was countless times better here than outside.
More importantly, after entering the temple, Chen An clearly felt that the cold feeling disappeared. Even if he didn't look at the red eyes, he could feel the warmth.
"It's safe inside the temple."
This further strengthened Chen An's suspicion.
Squeak...squeak...
Suddenly, waves of harsh sounds came from Chen An's ears.
Behind him, the temple door he pushed open seemed to be closed.
The coldness suddenly rushed up my spine again!
Breathing stopped at this moment.
Chen An shuddered. He turned around slowly and stiffly...
I saw...
A pair of white bunny earrings…
A pale, delicate face...
Under the burlap clothes, the slightly bulging breasts...
Slim and white legs...
Bare feet, no shoes...
That's...a little girl.
She was leaning against the closed temple door, her legs slightly crossed, her dirty little feet crossed, and she looked at Chen An with a cold gaze.
"You killed me..."
The little girl's voice was choked and sad, and she spoke quietly.
The young and shrill female voice kept echoing in the temple, and kept ringing in Chen An's ears...
At this moment, Chen An was almost in a coma!
He opened his mouth wide, his eyes filled with disbelief.
"Xue Yuer!"
At this moment, the scene not long ago appeared in his mind, as well as the scene where he personally smashed Xue Yuer's chest with a stone!
That twisted monster that looks like a human spider!
Why is she still alive!
Why did she
Appeared here!
Chen An is going crazy!
