Hearing these words, Cao Yuan and An Qingyu frowned at the same time and prepared for battle. Baili Pangpang's face turned pale and he spoke tremblingly:
"Is it...a living person or...a dead person?"
"Looking at us from behind the window, of course they are alive!" Cao Yuan couldn't help but say.
"No." Lin Qiye stared at the dark window, slowly grasped the handle of the straight knife with his other hand, took a deep breath, and said hoarsely:
"That's not a living person...you have to be mentally prepared."
Not a living person?
An Qingyu turned to look at the window, a touch of gray appeared in his eyes, and after a moment, he froze on the spot.
"How can this be……"
Cao Yuan's pupils shrank slightly, and he subconsciously moved the flashlight beam to the window, trying to see clearly what it was...
The bright beam of light passed through the dilapidated gray wall and shone into the dark hole. Behind the tattered brown-red wooden frame, a pale human face was pressed against the wall, with a pair of pitch-black eyes without the whites of the eyes looking straight.
Staring at the four people downstairs!
This face is really strange. It is not three-dimensional like a normal human face, but has a weird flatness, slender slanted eyebrows, dark eyes, bright red lips... There is no nose on that face, only
Two dark holes.
The moment he saw this face, Cao Yuan suddenly felt a chill rush from the soles of his feet to his brain, and the hair on his whole body stood up.
Where are the people here!
This is clearly a paper figure used for burial!
The moment Baili Pangpang saw this scene, his heart twitched violently. The strong psychological quality he had trained in the training camp prevented him from screaming directly. Instead, he bit his lips and made a backhand without saying a word.
He took out a string of Buddhist beads from his pocket and stuffed it into Cao Yuan's hand.
"What are you doing?" Cao Yuan was startled by him.
"Aren't you a monk? I gave you the Buddha beads. Quickly recite the mantra to take it away!!" Baili Pangpang's face turned pale and he lowered his voice and said anxiously.
Cao Yuan:......
After being illuminated by the flashlight beam, the pale paper face suddenly swayed and disappeared behind the dark window. Lin Qiye's pupils shrank suddenly, and he rushed into the building like lightning with a sword in hand, shouting:
"Catch it! Don't let it get away!"
However, there is someone faster than him.
An Qingyu rushed out long before Lin Qiye. His eyes under his glasses were staring at the window where the paper man disappeared. He held an anatomy scalpel in his hand and rushed straight up against the wall.
Go upstairs, your face is full of excitement and curiosity!
Cao Yuan saw Lin Qiye rushing out and immediately followed him. Baili Pangpang was left standing there in a daze holding a string of Buddhist beads, and a moment later he ran like crazy.
"Don't leave me!!"
Lin Qiye ran extremely fast in the low building where he couldn't see his fingers. In less than two seconds, he ran from the downstairs to the room where the paper man was originally located. An Qingyu climbed in from the window at the same time.
But at this moment, there was no sign of the paper man in the room.
"It flipped out from there and ran into the forest." Lin Qiye could sense every move of the paper man, and he immediately flipped out from the other window on the opposite side.
After entering the "Sichuan" realm, the perception range of [Mortal God Realm] soared directly to 500 meters. Although the paper man was fast, it could not escape Lin Qiye's perception in a short period of time.
The four people left the abandoned forest farm and ran towards the forest on the other side at full speed!
In an abandoned forest farm deep in the mountains and old forests, a paper man suddenly appeared. This incident itself was extremely strange. Naturally, it was impossible for Lin Qiye and others to just let it run away.
The paper man's body seemed to have no weight at all. Following the cold wind at night, he soared far away in the forest with a slight leap, and then fluttered down somewhere deep in the forest.
Lin Qiye and others rushed into the forest and chased for a long time, but they were still unable to close the distance with the paper man. Instead, they were thrown farther and farther away, and gradually lost track of the paper man.
Lin Qiye frowned slightly and stopped in the forest.
After about half a minute, the figures of Cao Yuan and the others followed Lin Qiye. After looking around, they did not see the paper man and sighed helplessly.
In fact, it is not impossible for Lin Qiye to catch up. In this night, his speed itself has been blessed to a terrifying level. If he uses the [Poem Singer of the Sky] to increase his speed, the probability of catching up with the paper man will be high.
Small, but the problem is that Cao Yuan and others do not have so many means, and their speed is simply not enough to keep up with Lin Qiye.
I don’t know if they can catch up with the paper man if they continue to chase, but he will definitely lose touch with the team. When the four of them are scattered in this vast virgin forest, they will really be in trouble.
Baili Pangpang gasped and couldn't help but ask: "Qiye, what on earth is that thing?"
"There are no life fluctuations, no mental reactions, and no traces of being controlled by the Forbidden Ruins..." Lin Qiye pondered for a moment and shook his head, "It doesn't look like a 'mystery', but I have no idea what it is specifically."
An Qingyu sighed with regret, "It would be better if I just dissected it."
Cao Yuan on the side seemed to have thought of something, and said with some uncertainty: "Don't you think that this scene just now... seems to have been heard somewhere?"
Hearing this sentence, the other three people were stunned.
"The pale face, with blurred features, looks like a human being, but also looks like... a dead person." An Qingyu murmured to himself, "I see, this comparison is very similar to the legend I heard before."
"That legend can't be true, right?" Baili Pangpang couldn't help but say, "What the lumberjack saw back then was actually the paper man we just saw?"
"The location is indeed a forest farm..." Lin Qiye frowned slightly, "The location and events all match up. This seems to be too much of a coincidence."
"Since the paper man part is true, are the other parts of this legend also true?" Cao Yuan asked.
"What part?"
"The eternal kingdom of the dead that exists deep in the forest."
Everyone fell into silence at the same time.
Deep in the primeval forest, is there really an eternal kingdom of the dead? It sounds like a fantasy, but they have just confirmed that part of the legend is indeed true...
The mysterious red giant ant, the queen's nest whose location is unclear, the pale paper man who appears inexplicably and then mysteriously disappears into the forest, the legendary eternal kingdom of the dead that exists deep in the mountains and forests...
Lin Qiye looked up at the dense black woods around him and the outline of mountains hidden in the night in the distance, and sighed.
"It seems that this place has more secrets than we imagined.
