Because it is close to the fifteenth day, the moon tonight is particularly round and huge.
Although there are no street lights on the mountain road.
But according to the moonlight, it's not very dark.
What's more, Chi has long been accustomed to the dark night and has developed a pair of eyes capable of night vision.
Chen Chuchu and Heiying followed her.
The mountain road became more and more rugged. Chi Chen had also been here when he was a ghost in his life. He was no stranger to this area.
Here and Huchong Mountain are exactly in the south and north directions.
There are mountains behind and a river on the sides.
Like Huchong Mountain, it is located on the border of Ningcheng, and because of its remoteness, almost no one comes here. Except for the occasional weekend collectors.
Chi Zao is smarter and smarter than the average person.
Therefore, when she heard the footsteps, Chen Chuchu and Black Shadow Ghost didn't react at all.
She paused suddenly.
Chen Chuchu and Black Shadow Ghost looked over at the same time.
The expression on her face was very calm, but her eyes slightly deepened, "Here we come."
The sound, as light as fluttering catkins, made the two ghosts' hearts tremble.
Coming?
What's coming?
Chi Zao raised his feet, took out his cell phone as if nothing had happened, turned on the flashlight, and continued walking forward, but his voice was lower and softer, "Someone is coming. Chu Chu, bring Heiying in."
After all, Chen Chuchu had been with her the longest, and she reacted almost immediately.
Before the black shadow ghost came back to his senses, Chi Zao had already opened the pseudo hell.
Chen Chuchu grabbed the black shadow and went in.
Pseudo hell is closed.
And the footsteps were getting closer and closer.
Not only is it getting closer, it's also getting faster and clearer.
In this silent night, such footsteps seemed so sudden and urgent.
Sudden!
As Chihao walked forward with his head bent, the beam of light emitted from his mobile phone flashlight was certain!
Her footsteps also suddenly stopped.
Because, just under the black curtain, there was the only static light, a pair of feet wearing black leather shoes with some "water stains" standing there. The uppers of his shoes were clearly polished, and there was water on the soles and edges of the shoes.
The stains were stained with sand, making them sticky and weird.
This is a man's foot.
But……
Pure water will not be stained with so much soil, sand and gravel...
"Oh, it turns out it's a little girl..."
The hoarse and rough man's voice sounded slowly, with a strange smile that had unknown meaning.
Chi Zao's slightly drooped eyes flashed with cold light, and his body seemed to stiffen.
Then.
As if she was frightened, she took a step back suddenly and raised her phone.
The light of the flashlight moved upward, and a rough face was suddenly illuminated.
This is the face of a young man who looks featureless, so ordinary that if he blends into the crowd, he will be forgotten immediately.
But he was wearing a decent suit, his body was a little thin, and he was not very tall.
Under the sudden strong light, he didn't even blink, he only shrank his pupils and didn't hide.
Such calmness is even more strange and unusual.
The strong light also illuminated Chi Zao's appearance.
Her beautiful and stunning face was full of panic, her face turned pale, and her eyes showed no concealment of fear. She looked like a bewildered little girl who had stumbled into this place by mistake.
The man's cold and inquiring eyes flashed slightly.
Then he smiled and said, "Little girl, I am a human being, not a ghost. What are you afraid of?"
Chi Zao opened his eyes wide, "You...are you really a human?"
The young man smiled kindly and said, "Of course. If you don't believe me, if you touch my hand, it's warm. If you look at my back, there's still a shadow of me."
Of course Chi Zao would not touch him.
I just swiped my phone down, and there was indeed a shadow.
She seemed to be relieved, "You, uncle, your sudden appearance shocked me..."
The young man said meaningfully, "Really, but you also scared me. How could you, a little girl, come here in the middle of the night? If you don't go back, why are you still walking into the mountains?"
Chi Zao pursed his lips and lowered his eyes, "Uncle, you might not believe it..."
"Huh?" The young man looked unmoved.
She raised her head, looked into the old man's deep and cloudy eyes, and sighed, "Uncle, do you know? My brother has been missing for a long time. But I dreamed about him last night..."
The young man narrowed his eyes slightly and said in a deep and slow voice, "...your brother?"
There was a hint of worry and sadness on Chi Zao's face, "Yes, my brother's surname is Cui. They all say that my brother is dead, but I don't believe it. How could my brother be dead? I dreamed of him yesterday, and he said he
Not dead, just trapped in a dark place by bad guys. He told me the address and said that as long as I come here to find him at 12 o'clock in the morning and open the door for him, I can rescue him... As long as he gets out, he will be free...
"
As soon as she finished speaking, the young man's pupils suddenly shrank, "Did you...really dream of this?"
Chi Zao nodded, "Yes."
"Then why didn't you tell your family or the police? Aren't you afraid of danger when you came here alone?" He stared at Chi Zao closely, and his face began to look uncomfortable.
"I told my parents, my relatives, and the police, but no one believed me. They said I was thinking about something every day and dreaming about it at night. But uncle, I think it's true. My brother said in his dream
"It's very real." Chi Zao sighed again and looked at the young man, "He said
He hurt so much, his hands and body hurt so much. He kept crying and asking me to come and save him... I couldn't bear to see him in such pain, but no one believed me. I could only come here to see it alone, but here
It's so dark and desolate...Uncle, do you think my dream is true?"
Chi Zao's words seemed to poke at the most fearful part of the young man's heart, and the expression on his face changed with her words.
"Twelve o'clock in the morning... He hurts so much...?" He seemed to have thought of something, and his eyes flickered. Suddenly, a cold light flashed across his eyes and sank suddenly. Facing her clear eyes, he said coldly and cruelly,
He twitched the corners of his lips and smiled coldly, "Of course, of course it's true..."
Chi Zao was stunned, as if he was frightened by his expression, "Uncle?"
The sound just came out.
A chill ran down her waist.
There seemed to be a biting chill lying there.
She lowered her head, and a sharp knife with a cold light was pressed against her waist——
"Little girl, you have asked the right person. Your brother has knife marks on his body and his fingers were cut off by me. If I guessed correctly... he is real and he is telling you a dream..."
The sad voice of a young man sounded in the night.
