Forty-two. In the dark

"ah!"

"Quiet."

Anna's scream was choked back by a steady voice.

In the dense darkness where he couldn't see his fingers, Lu Li quickly walked to the dining table according to the location in his memory.

Bang!

Squeak——

The dining table was knocked sideways and something fell on the table.

Ignoring the knocked down oil lamp for the moment, Lu Li stretched out his arm to grab the curtain and pulled it forcefully to the side. He tried to let the light from the street shine into the room and stop the darkness from surrounding it.

Wow——

The curtains were opened, and outside the dark room... it was the same darkness.

This is obviously wrong. It is impossible for all the lights in the town to disappear. Even if it happens, the town cannot be as absolutely silent as it is now.

"Can you see around me?" Lu Li said quickly.

He could already feel some kind of terrifying and evil aura growing in the darkness around him.

"I can't see anything." Anna's voice was panicked. She heard the sound of Lu Li opening the curtains, but again, no light appeared in the room.

Strange low-pitched murmurs gradually appeared all over the body, and the source could not be distinguished. A coldness as if touching a psychic gun swept over him, and something was approaching from an invisible corner.

"Hide into the other world."

Lu Li spoke decisively. Even at this moment, his voice did not change at all, except that it was faster than usual.

As the words rang out, Lu Li reached for his waist, pulled out his psychic gun and pointed it at the ceiling.

"Ok."

Lu Li asked before pulling the trigger.

Rustling——

The murmurs ringing around him were clearer than before.

"alright!"

Anna's voice rang in my ears.

The next moment, Lu Li pulled the trigger.

boom!!!

The dragon's roar echoed through the void, gunpowder dyed red and black smoke, and rich blood dripped.

The whole room buzzed and trembled like an earthquake, the floor, windows, and dining table all trembled with the dragon's roar.

In the sudden light of the fire, the surrounding scene flashed away. Lu Li saw the position of the door, and also saw a slender black ghost claw appearing on the dining table, grabbing at Lu Li, and then retracting in the bright firelight. Edge of Darkness.

"can you see me?"

The surroundings fell into darkness again. Lu Li walked towards the door, opened the breech of the gun, and removed the cartridge case. With the crisp sound of the cartridge case falling to the ground, he reached into his pocket, took out a silver-plated bullet and loaded it.

"Can't see...but I can feel you."

Click——

The barrel of the gun is closed, the hammer is pulled up, and it is ready to fire.

He did not withdraw the psychic gun to avoid lowering his sanity. It was obvious that the dangers around him were far more severe than the psychic gun.

Lu Li pressed the cold doorknob with his left hand and said without looking back, "Follow me."

Suddenly opening the door, Lu Li stepped out of the room and stepped into the still dark corridor where nothing could be seen.

boom!!!

The second gunshot resounded throughout the corridor, and with the sparks that briefly disappeared, Lu Li quickly walked towards the stairs at the end of the corridor.

Dang clang——

The bullet case fell to the ground, bouncing and rolling into the darkness. Lu Li touched his hand to his pocket, preparing to load the third bullet.

But at this moment, Lu Li's feet suddenly became empty——

Lu Li, who had reached the edge of the stairs, fell forward uncontrollably. Lu Li bent his hind legs for a moment to reduce the risk of twisting his feet. At the same time, a soft force suddenly supported Lu Li until Lu Li's hanging right leg fell on the wooden floor. On the steps.

Lu Li loaded the bullets without saying a word and quickly descended according to the steps in memory, while silently reciting the intervals in his mind.

"four, five, six."

At the sixth second, Lu Li walked up the last step and stood on the wooden board.

In my memory, this location is on the right side of the bar, and you can look around the entire hall.

Lu Li raised his right arm high again and tapped the psychic gun in his hand.

Flames spurted out, and in the brief firelight, Lu Li observed everything around him. Inevitably, a chill emerged from the bottom of his heart.

Behind the pillar, inside the bar, under the stairs, beside the dining table, outside the window... dark shadow-like figures stood everywhere, faintly surrounding Lu Li in front of the stairs.

The light brought by the gunpowder dissipated, and the shadowy beings lurked in the thick darkness again, disappearing.

A shadowy person?

The old woman in the tavern and the article came to mind at the same time.

Lu Li planned to do something. Was the panic that happened at this moment caused by the residents of the town, or was it real? Pull the trigger and everything will become clear.

"Protect me with your mind."

Whispering something to Anna, Lu Li immediately stopped and started a new round of timing and reloading ammunition.

"one two three……"

At the third second, whispers began to sound in the darkness, and some kind of existence began to breed around the darkness, eager to try as the darkness in the depths of Lu Li increased.

"Four...five..."

At the fifth second, the murmur began to become clearer, and at the same time Lu Li finished loading.

Click——

Closing the barrel of the gun, Lu Li's gun no longer pointed above his head this time. Instead, he raised his arm flat and pointed at the location where a shadow figure stood in his memory.

The finger in the trigger began to curl.

Suddenly, there was a burst of chaotic footsteps from far to near on the stairs behind him.

As his eyes swept away, a faint light spot like a firefly was approaching quickly, and occasionally a pair of palms holding it appeared -

The being with the light source rushed downstairs, and the next moment, Lu Li felt a hand grabbing his arm and pulling it away from the front.

"Shh... be careful, don't anger them."

A low, urgent voice rang in my ears. It was the voice of the mysterious man who lived next door.

Feeling the muzzle of the gun leaving the Ying Chuo people, Lu Li's black eyes turned dark for a moment, but he still put down the psychic gun and replied in a low voice: "Aren't they already causing trouble for us?"

The mysterious man withdrew his hand and pointed the light source closer to Lu Li.

It was a match, and it didn't go out because of the previous run.

"It was evil spirits that attacked us, not the offspring of these swamps."

Descendants of the swamp?

Now was not the time to ask questions. Lu Li suppressed the questions in his heart and looked around: "Do you know what's going on?"

The match can only illuminate about one meter around, and the distance further away is still dark, and you can vaguely see something standing there in the darkness.

The mysterious man did not answer Lu Li's question: "You have to tell me what happened to you first."

"you?"

"Isn't that ghost following you?"

Can he sense Anna?

Lu Li said nothing more and turned to look out of the light.

The mysterious man explained: "Don't worry about them, they will only follow objects that make noise and move, as long as you don't make noise or move quickly..."

Lu Li was still observing his surroundings: "Half a minute ago, a shadow-like black withered claw extinguished the oil lamp. Then I opened the curtains and found that the window was also pitch black -"

The mysterious man interrupted Lu Li: "Black withered claw? Wait, you mean a black hand extinguished the oil lamp?"

"Yes."

The mysterious man cursed lowly, his face looking much uglier.

"Damn it! I actually bumped into two evil spirits!"
