Chapter four hundred and seventy first rainy night
At this time, it was still raining heavily outside the house, and the messy sound of rain reached my ears, which made me feel even more upset.
Li Yue was nowhere to be seen when she woke up. Where had she gone?
"Li Yue, Li Yue..." I sat up from the bed and added Li Yue's name several times, but no one responded to me.
I began to feel a little panicked. Now that Li Yue was not sleeping in the room in the middle of the night, where would he be?
Thinking of the weirdness of this village, I am very worried about Li Yue's safety. She is my best friend and I will never let her be harmed in any way.
In an instant, my inner fear was reduced a lot. I got dressed and got out of bed, planning to go outside to find Li Yue.
Thinking about it now, I don’t know where I got the courage at that time. Even though I was extremely scared, I still worried about the safety of others.
The house we live in has two or three rooms. In addition to Li Yue and I living in the same house, two other classmates of mine also live here.
But at that time, all I thought about was Li Yue, and I didn’t care about anyone else.
When I walked to the door, I looked outside the house and saw rain pouring down.
Suddenly my eyes lit up and I saw some people walking around in the rain.
The shadows of those people were blurry and they walked slowly in the rain.
The first thought in my mind at that time was, could it be that the original villagers of this mountain village have returned?
If this is the case, now that we are living in their houses and they come back, don't we have to leave these houses?
But my doubts were soon dispelled, because I saw people walking out of other houses in this mountain village. All of the people walking out were familiar to me. They were the classmates who came here with me.
It's just such a rainy night. If they don't sleep in the house, what's the purpose of coming out?
I really wanted to stop someone I knew, but just when I was about to speak, I suddenly thought that many people besides me came out at this time. This was definitely not a coincidence. They definitely had something.
Keep the secret from me.
I immediately shut my mouth and made up my mind to follow them quietly to find out what all this was about.
I walked into the house again, took out a coat and put it on my head, barely able to protect myself from the rain.
Because I was worried that someone would discover my presence, I did not rush out immediately, but waited under the eaves. When people were about to come out, and after making sure that no one came out of the house again, I followed them quietly.
I was surprised to find that there were a total of fifty-five people who came here together. Except for me, almost all the others came out.
If I hadn't woken up suddenly tonight, I would never have known about this.
Thinking of this, I felt a chill in my heart. We have been classmates for three years. What on earth are they hiding from me? And why are they hiding it from me?
Especially Li Yue, she is my best friend. She is obviously among the crowd. Why don't you explain to me that our friendship is all fake? She has never regarded me as a true friend.
A drop of rain hit my hand, and the back of my hand was ice-cold, but compared to this chill, my heart felt more like falling into an ice cellar.
The crowd moved slowly in the rain. Those in front did not carry any rain gear. The direction they were heading was exactly where the metal masks were found today.
After the dozens of metal masks were discovered, many people thought that these metal masks had strange shapes and swarm them apart. Except for me, almost everyone had one in their hands.
All the metal masks have been taken away, what are they still doing here?
My classmates gathered around the place where the metal mask was found. They stood there motionless and didn't know what they were doing.
I hid behind a big tree, far away from them, and observed their actions.
Time passed by minute by minute, but those people didn't move for a long time, as if someone had cast a restraining spell.
I feel very unbelievable about this. In the middle of the night, these people are not sleeping in the house, but go outside to get wet in the rain. Maybe they are too angry, so they go outside to get wet in the rain to calm themselves down.
I shook my head and then put this somewhat funny idea behind me. This kind of thing can be treated as a joke, but it is absolutely impossible in reality.
Just as I was speculating in my mind about the different possibilities, the people who had been standing in the rain began to move.
The people who came out all held a mask in their hands. They gathered their hands together and put the masks on their faces.
When they put on their masks, they do so slowly but neatly, with a different sense of rhythm.
After everyone put on their masks, they all suddenly turned around and looked in my direction.
These are people I get along with day and night, but after putting on the mask, everyone becomes a stranger and I don't know who they are.
And without any mental preparation, our eyes suddenly met. I trembled in my heart, because I was too scared and couldn't help but take a few steps back.
Directly exposing my body to everyone's gaze.
"Ah..." I couldn't help but scream out because I was too scared.
My sharp nails dug into the flesh of my palms.
"Pa..."
After I took a few steps back, I was suddenly tapped several times on the shoulder.
I turned around and saw that the person standing behind me was my class teacher Li Jie.
Li Jie stood behind me and looked at me with a half-smile.
"Teacher..." I pointed at the people wearing masks and said tremblingly, "They all wear metal masks for some reason."
Li Jie's reaction scared me. She said calmly, "I know."
I looked at Li Jie in surprise. She said she knew, but why didn't she stop it?
Li Jie put her hand on my shoulder and used it as a support point to circle around me.
"Actually, did you know? This is actually my hometown." Li Jie said to me.
Standing in the rain, the cold rain hit my body, and the biting cold made my body shiver.
This unknown mountain village hidden in the body is actually Li Jie’s hometown!
I was so surprised that I couldn't speak.
"Haven't you always wanted to know why there is no one in this village?" Li Jie said as if she ignored my existence, minding her own business.
"Actually, it's not that there are no people here. It used to be full of people, just like every peaceful and harmonious village you've ever seen. But later, they all died."
When Li Jie was talking, she suddenly put her face next to mine, "Do you know how they died?"
At this time, my body was numb because of fear, and I couldn't say anything at all. I could only watch Li Jie talking to herself.
Li Jie's voice was not loud, but every word was slowly destroying my psychological defense.
I knew my spirit was about to collapse.
Li Jie's fingertips slowly traced across my face and said in a mysterious tone, "If you want to know, I can tell you slowly."
"Ah..." I yelled. I didn't care about anything at the moment, and immediately turned around and ran back.
My mind was in chaos at the moment, and I didn't want to think about anything anymore. I only had one thought in my mind, which was to get out of here as soon as possible.
I ran forward as hard as I could.
Returning to the village, I directly chose a house, then opened the door and walked in.’
This is not the house where Li Yue and I stayed before, but I can't care about so much and just want to find a place where I can be alone.
After walking into the house, I closed the door and pressed my back tightly against the door.
I sat on the ground, breathing heavily.
While sitting on the ground to rest, I listened carefully to what was going on outside, worried that Li Jie and those people would chase me.
But what made me feel a little relieved was that apart from the sound of rain, there was no other sound outside the house, and those people did not chase me.
"Hehe... do you think you can escape?"
Not long after my heart settled down, a sinister laughter suddenly sounded in the room.
