With a creak, the sound of the courtyard door being pushed open spread far away.
The mouse trembled, stood up with its front paws, and locked eyes on the figure slowly walking out of the yard.
Only one person came out, with a tall figure. After bypassing the lantern in front of the door, the shadows changed around that person, changing from long to short and then longer around the light source.
After a moment, the oppressive long figure disappeared into the surrounding darkness, blending into the dangerous night.
There is no difference between tonight and last night.
There are many ghosts everywhere in the town, and the hearts of the living people are oppressed by invisible rules, beating tenaciously and numbly.
There are fewer ghosts near this courtyard on the edge of Fengtou Town, probably because there are fewer residents nearby.
Even so, a certain pair of human eyes can still see through the mouse's body the lifeless white shadows that flash by from time to time in the streets and alleys.
It saw Yu Xing walking out of the courtyard and returned to the flawless human skin form, and then walked towards an alley with a very purposeful purpose.
Do you want to get something or meet someone?
After hesitating for a moment, the mouse followed.
It has a natural fear of "vixens", and it can even be said to be a double fear - one comes from the rat's own racial disadvantage to foxes, and the other comes from the psychological shadow of the boy.
So it followed the other person very far away, and never dared to think that the other person was just an ordinary escort like last time, so it dared to follow the other person openly, hoping to scare the other person psychologically.
After the mouse left, another mouse quickly ran over from a short distance away and took over its surveillance of the yard.
The mouse moved very stealthily. It followed Yu Xing for several streets, twisting and turning, and found that Yu Xing walked specifically into the narrow alleys, as if he was very familiar with the nearby terrain and was not afraid of getting lost.
When was it investigated?
Could it be that these people came to the town earlier than they were discovered?
Then "he" was really lucky to be able to use the terrain to escape last night...
After being distracted and thinking about something, the mouse's small brain was soon running out of energy. It hurriedly stopped the unnecessary energy consumption and watched Yu Xing stop in front of a dead end.
This place is already inaccessible, the nearby courtyards are basically empty, almost all the people inside are dead, and the entire area has long been abandoned.
He saw Yu Xing standing motionless at the blind corner and waving to someone inside.
The mouse immediately changed its position, trying to see clearly who was in the blind spot.
In the shadows, another person was hidden. Only a dark outline could be seen, and his face could not be identified.
"I've been waiting for you for a long time, let me tell you..."
The mouse pricked up its ears and listened. Yu Xing was talking to the figure. However, the low tone and deliberately soft voice made it very difficult for it to identify the content. Often it could only hear one or two useless words.
"tomorrow……"
"...interesting...family..."
Closer, closer still.
The mouse tried its best to squeeze itself among the debris and dust, hoping to hide itself and get more useful information.
I don't know since when, when the mouse moved forward, there would be another extremely light human footsteps more than 80 meters behind him, moving forward at the same time, intermittently.
Finally, the mouse came to a place where Yu Xing's voice could be clearly heard.
It felt a little weird from the beginning. It felt that the scene in front of it was not quite right, but it couldn't tell what was wrong. The moment it heard what Yu Xing said clearly, the entire mouse's fur immediately exploded.
"It's finally here, little mouse."
Yu Xing was still facing the figure in the blind corner, but what he said made the footsteps more than eighty meters away stop.
"These days, in the human world, it's really hard to catch a squirrel. Don't you think it's a little squirrel that's very good at escaping?"
The outline of the human figure in the blind spot suddenly dispersed, turning into a burst of black mist, which was directly absorbed by Yu Xing's skin.
He turned around slowly, and his eyes captured the small animals crowded behind the wooden poles and broken bricks with great precision.
The mouse was hit by the sudden and unexpected fear and squeaked. It felt the threat to its life from the other party's blue and playful pupils.
It...no, it was him, he knew something was wrong.
Although he couldn't hear clearly what Yu Xing was saying just now, he ignored that from beginning to end, only Yu Xing was speaking!
The other person does not exist at all, it is a created illusion. Therefore, the reason why Yu Xing did this is to lure his prey!
And he is the prey!
The dark curse spread over, and the mouse shuddered, and then his eyes became blank. He had no resistance to the curse, screamed miserably, and was crushed into a bloody mess by the curse.
Yu Xing killed the mouse easily and looked thoughtful.
The moment he killed the mouse, the connection between the mouse and the boy should have been severed. The little guy was very decisive and could always abandon these mice as soon as they were exposed, which should not be easy to train.
But it doesn't matter, this time he is ready and there is no way he will let the other party escape again.
…
In the alley, the gray boy held his breath and quietly crawled through a dog hole into an empty house.
Then he took a breath with lingering fear. Fortunately, he had withdrawn his consciousness quickly, otherwise the black fog curse that was overwhelming to the little mouse would have overwhelmed him!
He had been hiding in the dark and witnessed the confrontation between the fox and Xue Jiu and others. Although the fox didn't take much action, once he got serious, he killed the masked Aling in one move.
The claws that pierced through the chest were filled with inherent ferocity. A Cai was thrown away with countless broken bones. When she finally ran away with everyone, she almost crawled out, but there were still people watching.
She was given a thumbs up by her many companions.
He looked at it from a distance and felt that it was far less clear and huge than from the first perspective.
It's so scary, I will die.
The young man trembled all over and looked around warily. The muscles all over his body twitched from time to time due to excessive tension.
"What are you looking at? Are you looking for me?"
Suddenly, a voice with a fox's unique teasing accent sounded from behind him. The young man turned around suddenly and felt a breath approaching at a speed that humans could not understand. When he finished turning around, it also came to him.
too close.
The tall body that was still radiating warmth was too close.
The tip of the young man's nose almost touched the other person's chest, and a smell of clean clothes that did not belong to him entered his nose, making him, who had been wearing dirty clothes, feel dazed for a moment.
What followed was a sudden uptick of hair all over his body. Fear quickly defeated his trance, causing him to regain his sense and look up with a wooden face.
He met Yu Xing's eyes.
This time he was no longer a mouse, but he still had to raise his head to see the other person's eyes.
He was still so small, and he couldn't even speak a word under the overwhelming pressure of suffocation.
Suddenly, the sense of oppression was gone, and Yu Xing suddenly became as friendly as an ordinary human being. He reminded with a smile:
"Huh? You were trembling with fear."
The young man opened his mouth, took a step back, and his hoarse voice was as straight as last night: "Your target is me."
"Yes, I have long discovered that there is a little mouse spying on me nearby, so I came to find you?" The smile in Yu Xing's eyes deepened, and when he saw the young man who heard the answer, he ran away without hesitation, as if imagining
After getting rid of him just like yesterday, he laughed out loud.
He chose this place.
The alleys extend in all directions, but each one is very narrow, and as long as you turn in, it will be a long straight road, leaving no room for teenagers to use oil paintings and other deception methods.
Moreover, he gave up yesterday just because he felt that the young man, a local snake, was more familiar with the terrain. Today, he chose the place. His perception had already covered this area. He could see where the young man was and where he was going to go next.
Get it crystal clear.
In the blink of an eye, the young man's clothes disappeared from sight, and the person was gone. However, many fat little gray rats were dropped and scattered in all directions. It is estimated that the young man wanted to use these rats as scouts.
But Yu Xing had no interest in playing hide-and-seek with the opponent. He found the correct location and chased after him at an inhuman speed.
Then reach out.
He grabbed the young man by the back of his neck.
Before the young man planned to use magic to escape, layers of thin black threads formed by the curse wrapped up and bound the young man like ropes, sealing off his chance to escape using any magic.
If you want to pass through the shackles formed by his cursed thin threads, you have to cut yourself into pieces and pass through the gaps in these thin threads!
"I never fail to find food twice." Yu Xing chuckled and mentioned the struggling young man, looking at the latter's stubborn, fearful and expressionless face.
