Chapter 22:
At this moment, He Yu let out a snort. Although he was talking nonsense with the Winter Solstice, his eyes never left the compass in his hand.
At this moment, the compass pointer trembled slightly, and the amplitude of the tremor was getting bigger and bigger.
"Master, please stop at the station in front, we have to get off!" The Winter Solstice shouted upon seeing this.
The driver didn't respond, and he didn't know if he heard it or not.
It was only on the winter solstice that I found out that it was probably the last bus. It was too late and no one was waiting at the station. The bus kept going forward without stopping halfway.
The other passengers in the car did not ask to get off the car, it was the same few people.
He couldn't help but look up, but the car was negligent or for some reason, and the place where the route stop sign was supposed to be posted was blank.
The wrist was suddenly caught.
The winter solstice was startled and turned his head.
He Yu also obviously found something wrong with the car, and whispered to him: "I'll call the driver, wait at the door first, and get out of the car as soon as possible!"
He nodded nervously, and the two got up and walked towards the driver's seat.
"Master, what's the next stop? We want to get off, please stop for a while!" He Yu said loudly.
When passing the carriage, Winter Solstice deliberately glanced at the passenger in the seat next to him.
It’s okay not to look at it, but when I look at it, I can’t help but feel a huge shock.
The middle-aged woman was pale, her eyes were out of focus, she didn't seem to notice him, and remained motionless.
But what shocked the winter solstice was the woman's clothes.
Her slightly fat upper body is wearing a plain colored plate clothes. The fabric is a little rough, and the corners of the clothes are stained with some stains. She looks like a laborer who is used to working all year round. However...such coarse cloth clothes and styles are obviously not What people wear every day in modern cities!
——The bus stops of some local sections adopt the method of swiping cards and coins when entering the station, and passengers can get on the bus directly when entering the station. Just after they entered the platform, they got on the train directly from the back door, and did not pay careful attention to the dresses of other passengers.
The winter solstice suppressed the chill in my heart, and walked a few steps quickly as if nothing had happened to catch up with He Yu.
After He Yu shouted a few times, the driver slowly turned his head, glared at him, and said in a hoarse voice, "You can only get off at the terminal."
"How can there be such a reason, I'm going to complain to you!" He Yu said.
The driver laughed twice, making people feel terrified.
The car was still driving forward, and the winter solstice suddenly found that the driver's feet were flat on the ground, and there was no brake or accelerator at all!
"I made you pretend to be a ghost!"
He Yu raised his right hand, and a rune was added to the second finger in the food, and it was pasted to the driver's forehead.
As soon as the rune was pasted, the driver grunted and hissed, and the whole person shriveled down at a speed visible to the naked eye, and soon turned into a human skin limp on the seat.
The speed of the car slowed down, and He Yu quickly pressed the button to open the door.
"get off!"
Almost at the same time as he spoke, the Winter Solstice had already run to the side of the car door and jumped down. He Yu followed closely and landed steadily.
But the bus didn't stop, and it continued to slide forward slowly.
The passengers by the window turned their heads towards the winter solstice, and their pale faces reflected the dim lights in the carriage, making them seem extraordinarily strange.
"Where is this?" He Yu looked around.
It was gray everywhere, and the sound of gurgling water could be vaguely heard. In the fog, there seemed to be a few figures walking around, but they could not see clearly.
The winter solstice stared at the bus that was gradually going away, and suddenly shivered.
"I suddenly remembered something," he said calmly, "It seems that there is no 588 bus here..."
He Yudao: "I found out when I was talking to the driver just now that this is a ghost car."
The winter solstice was trembling: "Are those people in the car really not human?"
He Yu shook his head and said, "It's not a human, but it's not a ghost either. It should be the same as what we encountered on the train last time."
The compass in his hand was turning wildly.
The two walked along the road, and the ground was rough. Based on the driving distance just now, it was impossible for them to come to the suburbs.
Winter Solstice pondered: "We may have been targeted and deliberately led here. The person who misled us is probably the same person behind the sneaky Yaksha on the train."
He Yu nodded: "I think so too, let's see where this place is first, Cheng Hui is likely to be trapped here, you follow me closely, don't get lost."
The winter solstice was a little nervous, but after the incident on the train and Changbai Mountain, his psychological endurance was greatly improved, and his nervousness would not affect his judgment.
There were no lights around, the two turned on their mobile phones, the sound of water was getting closer, and the gray fog in front of them gradually dissipated, revealing the appearance of a bridge.
The stream under the bridge is gurgling, and the forests are thick on both sides. If it is another day, it may be a very good place for leisure and vacation.
But now on the winter solstice, I feel that the whole body is also getting colder.
He Yu snorted: "Why is there a bridge, shouldn't it be the Naihe Bridge?"
Winter Solstice: "...Brother, there are four characters on the bridge."
He Yu: "Oh, then 'Naihe Bridge', exactly four words."
Winter Solstice: "Your jokes are so cold."
The two approached while bickering, and He Yu took his mobile phone and swung to the bridge.
"Flow, flower, ancient, bridge?"
Winter solstice take a breath of cold air.
He looked intently, and the four characters of Liuhua Ancient Bridge were engraved on the side of the granite, and there were wooden railings on both sides of the bridge.
wrong.
How could it be such a desolate scene near Liuhua Bridge?
He grabbed He Yu and stopped him from going any further: "This place is near the train station, but I remember it wasn't like this."
"What's that like?" He Yu asked.
Winter Solstice frowned: "There are not so many trees, in the urban area, there are quite a lot of people..."
He suddenly noticed something different, He Yu's voice didn't seem so dull?
Suddenly, Winter Solstice quietly reached into his pocket, squeezed the talisman in his pocket, and turned his head to look at He Yu.
Even if you are mentally prepared, at this sight, you can't help but be distraught.
Where is He Yu standing next to him, it is clearly the passenger who just sat by the window!
The winter solstice suddenly took out the rune, threw it at the opponent, turned and ran without saying a word, regardless of whether anyone was chasing after him.
He stumbled and stumbled, panicking, and he didn't know how far he ran. Suddenly, he saw a group of people in front of him. He thought he was out of danger, and hurried forward, only to find that a group of prisoners were actually being escorted forward.
The prisoners were all wearing single jackets. Although they were escorting them in uniform, they were not police officers. They were more like the military police of the Republic of China that they had seen on TV during the Winter Solstice.
The arrival of the winter solstice alarmed them, and everyone looked over, their eyes cold and expressionless.
Before he could turn around and escape, Dongzhi felt his shoulders sink, and he was being held to the left and right.
"It turns out that there is another fish that slipped through the net!" A sneering sneer came from his ears.
"Today's execution, there is just one missing, let him make up the number!" Another humane said.
No matter how much the winter solstice struggled and shouted, it was of no use.
He reluctantly turned his head to look back, but could only see two people who looked like military police.
Calling Tiantian not to be called, Earth to not working, the winter solstice shouted He Yu's name loudly, but He Yu didn't know where to go, and never showed up.
When he was anxious and had nothing to do, a voice suddenly sounded in his ear.
"It's me, don't talk."
Not what happened.
It's Long Shen!
After the winter solstice, I couldn't help but get excited.
This sound was like a star in the dark night, and the Lost Lamb suddenly had a guiding light.
At that moment, Winter Solstice almost held her breath, her heart was beating wildly, and her excitement was barely suppressed.
Long Shen said: "I said, you listen, you can respond in your heart, you don't have to make a sound."
The winter solstice did not dare to look up, for fear of exposing the other party, so he quickly agreed in his mind.
Long Shen said: "I can't see the situation on your side. Let me talk about your situation first."
Dongzhi didn't know how Long Shen found him, and he couldn't figure out where the other party was now, but the situation made him unable to ask in detail. : "I don't know where they're going to drag me now!"
There was silence for a moment, just a few seconds seemed like a long winter to him. The winter solstice was hanging on, and he forgot to struggle. He let the other side drag him forward and merged into the long line of prisoners just now. He was severely punished. He pushed hard, staggered a few steps, and almost hit the person in front of him.
The cries ahead came one after another, faintly, like a whimpering cat in the dark night, making it cold to the bone.
Those people wore single jackets, and some even shaved the moon head of the Qing Dynasty, but the whole body seemed to be covered with a layer of white mist, which was indistinct.
"By the way, I remembered a rumor." Dongzhi murmured in his heart, "The local people said that the Liuhua Bridge was a place of execution during the Republic of China, and many people were executed. These people don't dress like modern people. not……"
But this kind of thing feels too mysterious. They just got on a bus in the city. How could they come to Liuhua Bridge a hundred years ago?
Long Shen finally said: "I'm using his mind to communicate with you now. There is a limit to what I can help you. You must save yourself."
The winter solstice cheered up: "You say, I will do it. He Yu may be in trouble over there, I have to find him!"
Long Shen: "Do you have an amulet on your body?"
Winter Solstice: "Yes, there are three more!"
Long Shen said: "According to what you said, you guys are all prisoners who are going to the execution ground and are about to be beheaded. You can look for the opponent's defenses to take action when the defense is the most lax, and you must seize the opportunity to escape, and then run east."
Winter Solstice: "...It's dark all around, I don't know where the east is."
There was silence over there, and just when he was a little uneasy, he heard Long Shen say: "Just relax, don't think about anything, I'll take a look with your eyes."
Winter Solstice didn't know what the other party was going to do, but he subconsciously trusted what Long Shen said, took a deep breath when he heard the words, and tried to sweep out all the messy thoughts in his mind, vacated a space, adjusted his breathing, and calmed down his mood.
Suddenly, he felt that his heart seemed to be pulled a bit, it didn't hurt, but it was a little weird, and his spirit gradually slackened, as if he couldn't control it, his ears were buzzing, as if he was separated by a film, and he opened his mouth on the winter solstice, but couldn't say anything. The voice, but the body suddenly became much lighter, and it was floating up a little bit.
Looking around, the surrounding area was covered with gray, the military police behind him, and the prisoners in front of him all turned into part of the fog. As the angle of view slowly rotated, there was only a little light not far behind, flickering slightly, and the on/off was uncertain.
"Just behind you, run in the direction of that little light, He Yu is also there." Long Shen said.
With this sound, the winter solstice felt that the body fell heavily, sinking into the body again, the ears also regained clarity, and the cry came from the front again.
He was gasping for breath, his heart palpitating.
"Remember?" Long Shen asked again.
"Remember!" he said hurriedly.
Here, time seems to have become a nihilistic existence, long and short.
Winter Solstice quietly took out a folded talisman from his pocket and pinched it in the palm of his hand.
The prisoners were escorted into the arena one by one and shot to death. Following the order of the beheading officer, the sound of gunfire was remembered neatly, and the prisoner fell.
The surrounding people were full of people watching, but upon closer inspection, the faces of those people were covered with a layer of white mist, and their faces could not be seen clearly.
The number of people in front of the winter solstice decreased in batches. Seeing that it was about to be his turn, he hesitated, turned around and pushed the crowd away, and ran forward.
There was a commotion and abusive voices behind him, and when he turned his head around the winter solstice, he found that several military policemen were catching up quickly, with green faces and fangs, and their expressions were hideous. Encircling him, there was a slight difference a few times, and it was extremely thrilling.
The winter solstice gritted his teeth and threw the talisman in his hand!
Fu Lu cut through the heavy fog and landed on the head of the military policeman at the front.
Looking back at the winter solstice, the other chasing soldiers were temporarily rushed back a few steps by the fire caused by the explosion, but the burning light quickly dimmed, and the military police turned into a mass of charred ashes and scattered on the ground.
He only has three talismans now, and now he has used one, and it is impossible for the remaining two to wipe out all the chasing soldiers.
Facts have proved that people have unlimited potential in extremely dangerous situations. In the past, when I was in school, the one thousand meters of the winter solstice often hovered on the edge of passing, but now if I ask the physical education teacher to get a stopwatch and press it, he estimates that he can at least reach it. The standard of the national second-level athlete.
There was a shrill roar behind him, it was a real ghost crying and howling, as if it was close at hand, it could be entangled at any time, his whole body was covered with cold hairs, and he subconsciously wanted to look back.
Long Shen, who had not spoken for a long time, seemed to be aware of his thoughts and shouted at the right time, "Don't look back!"
The winter solstice is a shock, and the movement is restrained.
Even if he knew that the other party was thousands of miles away, but with this voice, all fears seemed to be greatly reduced.
The light source gradually enlarged and got closer and closer. The winter solstice found that it was actually the light from the mobile phone turned on and laid flat on the ground.
He Yu is beside him.
There was a young man sitting next to him, with a short head and a training suit.
The two sat cross-legged, eyes closed, motionless.
"He Yu!" The Winter Solstice shouted with surprises.
But the other party's brows were furrowed, and he seemed to have fallen into some kind of nightmare, and he didn't even notice the movement here.
The chasing soldiers behind him were getting closer and closer, the Winter Solstice gritted his teeth, threw a talisman back, then rushed forward and pulled He Yu up!
... can't move.
This fellow is much stronger than him, but the immobile reaction force almost made the winter solstice fall on him.
Time could not tolerate any hesitation, so the Winter Solstice had to take out the last rune from his pocket and put it on He Yu's forehead.
He Yu's body was shaken, and he opened his eyes suddenly, like waking up from a big dream.
"Why are you here?" He was still a little bewildered.
The winter solstice dragged the person up and ran without saying a word. Now he was able to move. He Yu followed him and staggered a few steps. Seeing that the pursuers were close at hand, he took out a rune, bit his tongue, and Blood splattered on the talisman paper, pointed at the talisman, chanted a spell, and stuck the talisman on the ground.
The rune landed with a bang, and a huge wall of fire ignited in an instant, separating them from the pursuers.
He Yu slapped the young man next to him with his backhand.
"...Master, brother?"
"go!"
He Yu grabbed one with one hand and ran.
The three tried their best to run several dozen meters. The lighting of the mobile phone was always on during the winter solstice. Suddenly, they saw a cliff appear in front of them.
The cliff was bottomless, He Yu threw a stone and went down without hearing any sound for a long time.
"How can there be a cliff in this place!" Winter Solstice was stunned.
"Grandma's leg, if I hadn't been injured before, how could I be caught today!" He Yu scolded.
The fire gradually went out, but there were more and more chasing soldiers. Behind the wall of fire, those uniformed military policemen had mottled faces, revealing the white bones beneath their flesh and blood. Some of them even lost their eyeballs. There were two black holes in the wall of fire. He gave them a sinister smile from behind, waiting for the backlash after the fire was completely extinguished.
He Yu gasped and said, "I used up all my talismans just now, and my blood is not enough. I can't draw any more now. Do you still have anything on your body?"
Winter Solstice smiled bitterly: "The last one is on your forehead!"
There is an abyss in front and a monster in the back, what should I do?
At this moment, Long Shen's voice suddenly sounded in his heart: Jump down!
The Winter Solstice immediately said to He Yu, "Boss Long, let us jump down!"
He Yu was taken aback: "Are you sure?"
Winter Solstice nodded: "Boss Long said that the abyss may be just a trick."
possible.
That is to say, it may not be a trick, they jump, and there is a certain chance that they will be shattered.
He Yu smiled bitterly, gritted his teeth, and made a decisive decision: "Fight!"
Winter Solstice has no objection. He would rather believe Long Shen's words than deal with those things that are neither human nor ghost.
Cheng Hui was in a trance, and he didn't wake up yet. He Yu took advantage of the situation and pulled him up. The three of them held each other's arms and jumped down the cliff in a sacrificial posture!
He Yu's screams echoed in the darkness: "I forgot to bring out my cell phone————"
The last bit of power was completely exhausted, and the phone on the winter solstice suddenly turned black.
Unable to step on the ground, his body fell sharply, he couldn't help closing his eyes, clenching his teeth, and holding a heart.
At that moment, he didn't care that Long Shen might have a glimpse of his inner world, and a lot of messy thoughts flashed through his mind subconsciously.
"Ouch!" He Yu yelled.
There was no bones left as expected, they fell to the ground, and except for the blooming buttocks, the rest of the body was still intact.
In the middle of the night, a few cars sped past occasionally, and the city night lights were still glowing with a warm glow. Everything was so familiar that people couldn't help tears.
The two were panting, paralyzed on the side of the road like dead dogs, with no manners to speak of.
He Yu is still mourning his untimely death of his mobile phone: "嘤嘤嘤..."
Winter Solstice said apologetically, "I just took you away and left the phone next to you!"
He Yu was distraught: "There are many collectors' editions of Teacher Cang, and it's hard to find them now!"
winter solstice:……
He gathered up his courage and asked Long Shen in his heart, "Boss Long, how did you contact me, and why didn't you communicate with He Yu directly?"
"Last time you met with Zhong Yu, he saw your gloomy face, and said that your trip might have a catastrophe, why the wounds haven't healed yet, and you might be difficult to deal with when you meet a strong enemy, so I called you to the office, I want a hair of yours." After a while, Long Shen said in a calm tone.
The winter solstice remembered the ambiguous behavior after Long Shen suddenly stopped him in the office last time.
It turned out that people were trying to save his own life. He felt ashamed for his crankiness and quickly expressed his gratitude.
Perhaps knowing that they were out of danger, Long Shen unilaterally cut off the contact. After that, the Winter Solstice did not receive any further messages from Long Shen.
He Yu breathed evenly on the other end and asked the Winter Solstice, "How did you find me?"
The winter solstice said: "Boss Long communicated with me through his mind and helped me find your position."
He Yu was surprised: "Wow, the boss actually knows him well?"
Winter Solstice nodded: "As soon as Zhong Yu said that we might encounter trouble when we came out this time, he left me a hair first, but now he has not answered me."
He Yu: "Of course, his telepathy is an extremely exhausting technique, not to mention that we just went to that place and are isolated from the real world. The boss was not completely injured, and now it will be worse. My phone is there. Now, look back and lend me your cell phone, I just have some questions to ask him."
The winter solstice said worriedly: "Then Boss Long will be fine, right?"
"He is much more powerful than you think. Worrying about him is worse than worrying about ourselves." He Yu pointed to Cheng Hui, who was brought back by him: "And this guy!"
The author has something to say:
Last time, Boss Long suddenly slammed the winter solstice in the office. Some people may be surprised, but it was impossible to predict at that time. The foreshadowing came out in this chapter.
Small theater unrelated to the text:
Long Shen: I don't think you can learn your lesson by deducting salary and bonuses now.
He Yu: ? ? ? !
Long Shen: From now on, your office will be disconnected from the Internet, and your mobile phone will be disconnected from the Internet. You will not be able to download any bad videos, play any games, and come to my office if you need work contact.
He Yu: Oh my God! I'm dying!
