At midnight, it rained like a waterfall without stopping at all.
Raindrops the size of soybeans continued to hit the ground, with the momentum of smashing through the blue brick and stone tile floor.
This is an extremely old yard.
A golden plaque left over from the last century hangs crookedly above the gate. Most of the fonts are peeling off, and only the last two broken characters can be barely legible: xx Kiln Factory.
Crunch!
The ajar iron door was quickly closed and the lock was inserted.
There was a man wearing a blue raincoat, with his waist bent, walking along the wall and sneaking into the side room in an extremely obscene manner.
He looked like a dog thief in the village.
He knocked on the door anxiously and said in a deep voice: "I'm Wu Junqi! I'm back! Open the door for me!"
After a while, there was the sound of the door being opened.
A fat man with a big head and big ears stuck his head out and looked around to make sure there was nothing abnormal before letting him in.
This room seemed to be a dormitory for pottery masters. It was very large and had more than a dozen wooden beds. Students from Hainan University gathered here, shivering.
There was also a huge statue of Guan Gong enshrined at the front, standing on the sword and glaring with anger, which barely gave them some peace of mind.
"Is Professor Zhang awake?"
"No!"
"oh."
Wu Junqi asked as he took off his raincoat, shook it dry, put it by the door, wiped his wet hair, and said angrily: "Where's the towel? Give me one."
"Okay." A girl kindly went to get him a towel.
But most people either stood aside or huddled in the corner of the bed, looking at him motionless.
The obese male classmate who opened the door just now couldn't help but ask: "What's the result?"
Wu Junqi took a sip of water first, then took the dry towel, wiped his hair, and said with a sad face: "It still didn't work. I walked in two directions this time, but I finally arrived at the door of the cave dwelling."
As soon as he said these words, the people around him who were looking at him eagerly, both men and women, could not help but curse in a low voice.
"Depend on!"
"What's this called?"
"If the ghost hits the wall, we are doomed."
"If I had known earlier, I shouldn't have listened to you and ran out. We should have continued to stay in the hall!"
Someone looked at a corner of the room resentfully.
There were three people there, two men and one woman.
One of the men was lying on the bed, breathing weakly. There was a huge gap in his waist that reached to his chest, almost cutting him off. He was barely bandaged with some unclean white cloth, which smelled of alcohol.
Another man and woman were sitting on the bed next to him.
It was Judy and her two bodyguards.
One bodyguard was seriously injured and passed out; the other was not much better, his head was wrapped in several layers of cloth, soaked with blood, and his left arm was hung in front of his chest as if it had been broken.
Hearing this, Judy glanced at the boy who was talking and said coldly: "If you don't want to run away, you can stay over there and make ghosts with your favorite girlfriend. Why do you come here with us?"
"you!"
This boy looked annoyed, and he was clearly the one who had been extremely nervous when Huang Yuting was ill.
But he looked at the burly and powerful bodyguard brother and realized that even if he had a head injury and a broken hand, he could easily slap him to death, so he finally chose to swallow his anger and say no more.
Squad leader Wu Junqi came out to smooth things over and said: "Everyone, please calm down. Now we can only have a chance to survive by helping each other."
This did little to boost morale.
The group of flowers Fang Yingying looked sad: "If we can't find a way out, we will be trapped here and die sooner or later. Otherwise, let's go into that cave together?"
The cave dwelling is located behind the kiln factory, no more than a hundred meters away.
In other words, they have been escaping here for so long, but they have never been able to get out of the 100 meters outside the kiln, and they have always been wandering around here.
"No, no, no!"
Upon hearing this, several students nearby turned pale with fright and shook their heads like rattles.
They were really scared.
There were more than twenty people when we came here, but now there are less than fifteen people alive here.
Others either disappeared or died in front of them, and some even pretended to be dead in front of them.
Seeing this, Fang Yingying smiled awkwardly: "I just said it casually."
Coward... No wonder Professor Zhang had to protect them at such a young age, he even fainted... If the senior was still here, the situation would definitely not be like this... What a bunch of cowards...
She despised them in her heart, but she didn't notice that two boys in the same class who were not very familiar with her had gradually turned their attention to the girls, and they were doing whatever they wanted on their youthful bodies.
Wandering.
People often say that law is the bottom line of morality.
But there are always some people whose moral standards happen to be elevated because of legal constraints.
For example, in this situation where there is no way to go to heaven or earth, there are two boys who have already put their minds elsewhere.
Beautiful women are liked by everyone.
In the past, I had to put effort and money into pursuing it.
But now, when we are about to die, we might as well have fun before we die! We will die like a dead ghost!
They looked at each other, stood up at the same time, and were about to put this special criminal tendency that had been hidden for more than ten years into practice.
But at this moment, the ignorant and arrogant Fang Yingying is still in her own world, unable to extricate herself.
Just when this sinful scene was about to take place.
The loud banging on the door shocked everyone.
boom!
Bang bang!
Someone was beating hard at the door of the kiln factory, which made the old iron gate keep whining, and the sound penetrated the rain curtain, frightening everyone's hearts.
"Who's there?"
In the end, Wu Junqi plucked up the courage and asked loudly.
"It's me...are you all here? Open the door quickly." came a slightly weak voice.
Several students, including Judy, stood up at the same time and looked happy.
It’s the senior with abnormal physical abilities who is here! How could he still find his way here under such circumstances? There must be a way to get out, yes, there must be a way!
When everyone was happy, they immediately led by the squad leader and went over to open the iron gate in the yard.
Someone came in, quickly locked the door, and turned around. Sure enough, it was Cheng An.
"ah!"
As a result, several girls almost screamed.
His current condition looks very bad, with blood stains on his chest, shoulders, thighs and other places.
There is an extremely exaggerated mark on the abdomen, like a wound torn by a wild beast, and you can even see the internal organs inside writhing!
"Senior, you..." Wu Junqi was also shocked and speechless. He thought of Cheng An walking into the darkness alone to find rescue, and now he was injured like this. He couldn't help but blame himself and felt sad.
"I'm fine."
Cheng An interrupted his sentiments, looked at everyone present, counted their heads, and said loudly: "Tell everyone to come out, and I will take you out of here."
"Senior, it's no good. There are ghosts breaking the wall here. We can't get out!" someone shouted.
"I know! Don't worry, everyone, I will take you out of here! You can't stop me even if you beat the wall!" Cheng An said loudly.
Suddenly they saw the sky rising, and the students of the archeology team almost cheered.
They separated three people to carry Zhang Shusheng, who was still unconscious.
Judy also came out and asked hurriedly: "Cheng An, have you seen Yan Xiaoxi?"
Cheng An nodded and said: "Yes, unfortunately she was killed by the monster. I couldn't save her. I'm sorry. If you see her again, don't believe that she has been controlled by the monster!"
"What? How, how could this happen..."
Suddenly learning the news of her best friend's death, Judy's face turned pale, and she took a few steps back as if struck by thunder, tears already welling up in her eyes.
The other students, no one cared about her, packed their bags and quickly gathered in the front yard.
"Senior, where can I leave the ghost wall?" a petite girl asked.
Cheng An said: "Leave the cave! As long as we enter the cave, the ghost can't stop us!"
"Ah, you want to go to a cave dwelling?"
"Haha, I said a long time ago that the cave dwelling is the exit, but you still don't believe it!"
Some people are confused, and some people start to think about it in hindsight.
Cheng An urged: "Move quickly, that ghost is still chasing me, don't wait! Otherwise, you won't be able to leave!"
"Okay senior!"
Under Cheng An's urging, everyone gathered in the kiln yard in less than five minutes.
We only found a few raincoats, and now we have to go out in the rain, but as long as we can escape, a little rain is nothing.
Judy was in a dilemma. While she was feeling sad, one of the bodyguards was seriously injured and passed out on the bed. No one came to help them.
"Miss, let's go first. This is our duty. He will understand."
Another bodyguard said in a deep voice, their loyalty is extremely high.
"It can only be the."
Although Judy was sad, she was not in a desperate situation. She immediately left with the bodyguard who was still able to move and left with the large army.
But at this moment, the iron door of the kiln factory suddenly suffered a heavy blow, which frightened the students and almost screamed.
Boom boom!
After two loud noises, a huge dent appeared in the middle of the iron door, and then the entire door flew out like rags.
A tall monster with a crocodile head and body strode out of the rain.
It was extremely fast and walked to Cheng An's side. Its sharp saw teeth showed a ferocious smile: "I found you!"
Everyone was stunned.
The monster was extremely terrifying, and the hot air sprayed from the corner of its mouth whizzed like a high-power engine.
The students didn't dare to move or resist at all. They could only watch helplessly as it grabbed Cheng An's head and dragged him out.
The latter's hands and feet were trembling and he struggled desperately, but to no avail, leaving only a pool of blood on the ground.
"Senior..."
After a long silence, many girls, and even a few boys, reacted like a stress and screamed.
Fang Yingying even cried and scolded: "You cowards...watching the seniors being taken away...you are still not men..."
Someone immediately glared at her fiercely: "If you don't believe it, we can prove whether we are men right now!"
The class beauty was so frightened that she suddenly stopped crying, choked and hid behind the crowd.
Wu Junqi managed to calm down and said: "Don't be anxious, everyone. I think the senior is very powerful and he might be able to escape!"
This was echoed by several people: "Yes, he was injured so badly just now and is fine. Maybe the monster can't kill him this time!"
At this time, several other boys stood up, and the leader was Zhang Wei, who said loudly: "The senior said just now that the exit is in the cave dwelling. I suggest that everyone leave first and let's escape together!"
A girl said: "But the senior hasn't come back yet! Shouldn't we wait for him? He came to save us."
In addition, someone immediately objected: "How do you know he can come back?"
Zhang Wei said very smartly: "We are leaving now to reduce the burden on the seniors."
"But, if we do this, wouldn't it be a bit ungrateful?" Fang Yingying hid behind the crowd and asked weakly.
Judy sneered: "What does it look like? These are just a group of cold-blooded people. I won't leave, just wait. Let's go back."
Several other boys also said: "We can't go far even if we carry the teacher, so let's just wait."
The bodyguard naturally listened to Judy, and the two took the lead. Immediately, some people decided to wait where they were.
There is no consensus among the crowd.
Some people think that we should leave now, but others rationally think that we should wait for Cheng An. Everyone has different opinions.
"If you want to live, come with me!"
Upon seeing this, Zhang Wei raised his arms and took the lead out of the gate, heading towards the cave dwelling behind.
"It's important to keep Qingshan alive to save your life!"
At this moment, many people were immediately mobilized to keep up with the pace.
It is worth mentioning that the little girl who was the first to ask whether she wanted to wait for Cheng An to come back was among the first to follow Zhang Wei out.
There were not many people left, including Wu Junqi, Fang Yingying, a few classmates, other injured bodyguards, unconscious Zhang Shusheng, the old, weak, sick and disabled.
The rainy night continues, with thunder and lightning.
None of them knew whether their choice was correct or not.
All things are done, let God take care of his fate.
…
…
At the top of the mountain road in the village, inside an abandoned house.
Cheng An suddenly waved his hand and slapped another 'Cheng An' who looked exactly like him on the wall.
That 'Cheng An' kept rolling his body, trying to escape, trying desperately to run to a small courtyard at the end of the village road.
But in terms of speed and strength, they were all inferior. They were no match for Cheng An and could not break free.
Finally, it rolled into a ball, huddled on the ground, and shivered.
After a while, when it raised its head again, it suddenly turned into Yan Xiaoxi's face!
"Cheng An, don't kill me! You were deceived by it!"
With desolate eyes and begging, she hugged Cheng An's thigh and ran her hands up his thigh, seeming to hint to him that as long as he let herself go and believed in herself, he could do whatever he wanted.
Yan Xiaoxi, who was standing next to her, couldn't stand it anymore. She walked over and slapped the ghost down, saying bitterly: "Don't ruin my reputation here!"
Cheng An smiled, of course he would not be fooled.
This ghost has no room for resistance at this moment.
Originally, it had no entity, and there was nothing Cheng An could do with it.
Even if it exposed several of its trump cards, Cheng An's ability could not kill a ghost.
But the strange thing is that when Sun Baohui and her blind grandmother were in the yard, this incorporeal ghost suddenly took on an entity.
It was stripped of some of its ghost characteristics and transformed into the mutant's original body, an apprentice in a pottery factory.
This time, he was miserable.
With a huge disparity in strength, he was chased all the way by Cheng An, which made him exhausted and resentful.
Cheng An discovered that although he was very cunning, he essentially had no human reason and only had bloodthirsty instinct in his bones.
It's just that his madness is not so obvious, but what is certain is that he has completely lost his humanity.
Otherwise, when he was completely at a disadvantage, he would not be able to resist running to the house where the archaeological team was hiding, trying to trick all the living people out and kill them.
A mutant is a mutant, and no matter how smart he is, he can't change his murderous viciousness.
Cheng An exploded the demon's head without any burden and picked out a dice-like magic core covered with black pits.
"Okay, let's go."
Cheng An put the magic core away and put it in an iron box for storage.
Yan Xiaoxi glanced at the magic cores he had collected and saw that he had several of them inside. His eyes lit up and he said, "There seems to be a strange aura in the yard over there."
"It is true that Sun Baohui and her grandmother are not normal." Cheng An said.
"you know?"
"Well, I discovered it this afternoon."
"Let's go explore for a while?" Yan Xiaoxi suggested. She also wanted to collect another magic core.
Cheng An raised his head, glanced at the house not far away, and then at Yan Xiaoxi, who could be called his helper.
Can two people take down the unknown monster?
He was a little moved, but he recalled the feeling of fear that arose spontaneously when he was stared at in the afternoon.
In the end, Cheng An decided to respect his inner guidance and said quite relaxedly:
"I advise you not to meddle in other people's business."
