After the stick-like thing landed on the ground, it actually turned around and looked at us! The folds of the skin on the big, bare head were raised high, looking like the sulci of the human cerebral cortex. The whole head was in the shape of
Date core shape, pointed at both ends and wide in the middle. Two round eyes without eyelids, like dead fish, have red pupils, and two dark red gazes are flickering in them. It is estimated that the thing is also there.
Doubtful: I stayed in there well, but you guys got me out by you guys who don’t know what to say. Where is the justice?!
"Wow! What big eyes!" Chen Mei exclaimed.
Indeed, the eyes of that thing are very big, occupying one-half of the entire face. I wonder if this guy is something from the second dimension. There are two small black holes between the eyes, and they must be
It's just its nose. I don't know which drunk two-dimensional cartoonist drew it.
"Ba, Curasia patent leather..." The thing made a hoarse sound from its mouth like a mantis. The sound was like the "hissing" sound made by a cobra before it attacked. It made my skin crawl.
, so I waved the sword in my hand again with a swish. Although I knew it might be of no use, at least it would give me courage.
"What's the use of that thing? Look at me." Jason, who was standing behind me, suddenly shouted, and then a blast of fire from a rifle grazed my right shoulder and shot towards the thing.
"Oh no, Jason, you almost hit me!" My right shoulder was in burning pain at the moment, and the shoulder pad was burnt to a crisp.
After the "boom" sound, the thing was no longer where it was. "Where did it go?" I asked loudly.
"Here, behind me!" Chiyoko's trembling voice came from behind.
When a few of us looked back, no, that thing had already held Chiyoko hostage. It was standing behind Chiyoko as straight as a green pencil, and a short arm was wrapped around Chiyoko's neck.
A green hand with only four dry fingers was tightly squeezing Chiyoko's throat. Chiyoko's face was red from the suffocation, and she was desperately trying to pry open the four withered vine-like fingers with both hands.
fingers, but it seems to be in vain.
"Don't hurt her, what are your conditions?" I blurted out.
"Can it understand it?" Jason continued to aim his frequency gun at the green date-stone head, and then said to me.
"Second, Wulati, Lithapiqukoumu, Lutiya." The thing's mantis mouth opened and closed again and made a "hissing" sound.
Jason and I looked at each other, both of us looked confused. I put away my sword, and then gestured and said: "You, let her go, and then you go away, do you understand?"
"
The thing seemed to understand what I said, because I saw that the four fingers of it holding Chiyoko loosened a little, and Chiyoko finally got up. Her eyes were full of tears, and she was looking at me pitifully. Now
Chiyoko was speechless.
But we still don’t understand what that thing just said. My palms are all sweaty. Although I also have weapons on my body, in this situation, how can I dare to act recklessly? It will kill Chiyoko alive.
life.
"That person at the back, get out of the way and come in front of me." A strange sound came from Chiyoko's mouth. Her face turned pale and her eyes rolled up. It was obvious that this was the sound she made because she was controlled by that thing.
Jason and I both looked behind the thing in unison. Chen Mei was holding the small leather whip in her hands with both hands and quietly approaching the thing. It seemed that Chen Mei was planning to use the small leather whip to strangle the thing's neck.
It was able to save Chiyoko. But obviously, that thing had discovered Chen Mei's intention, even though it didn't have eyes on its back.
"Chen Mei, what are you doing?! Come over here quickly." I was so frightened by Chen Mei that I broke out in a cold sweat. Isn't this not enough chaos? Just going up so recklessly, if it doesn't go well, both of us have to get in.
"That bastard thing!" Chen Mei stomped behind, and then angrily walked around from behind the thing. She just didn't know whether she was scolding the green thing, or complaining about Jason and me being useless.
.
When the green thing saw Chen Mei standing in front of it angrily, it actually grinned with its mantis mouth and hissed "Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeey!" At least that's what I understood. It was smiling proudly.
It’s just that the voice sounded like that of a hanged man. (Hey! How could I have such an idea? Have I heard the voice of a hanged man before?)
"Hey, buddy, we will do what you said. You let her go and then you go." I took a small step forward and said to the green thing.
"When did he become your buddy? You have quite a taste for making friends now!" Chen Mei muttered to the side.
I turned my head and glared at her, thinking: If I knew what to call it, why would I be talking so much nonsense!
The thing glanced at me with its red eyes. It didn't say anything to me, but held Chiyoko hostage and began to slowly retreat toward the temple gate.
Me, Jason and Chen Mei watched the green thing step by step as it retreated towards the temple gate. We also followed its retreat step by step. Only then did I notice the two sides of the green thing.
The foot has four toes forward and one toe backward. There are curved and sharp nails on the toes. The two feet are as dry as chicken feet, and a long and thick green tail is also supported on the ground.
The balance of its pencil-like green body.
The green thing retreated toward the temple gate, while shaking its head from side to side to observe the surrounding situation. There were two black square ears on both sides of its head, and there were circles of inverse circles in the ear shells.
The spiral groove of the hour hand looks like a black earmuff.
Chiyoko's eyes were full of fear. She was breathing heavily and her mouth was moving, but she couldn't make any sound. I kept praying in my heart, hoping that the green thing would be released soon.
Chiyoko.
Jason hid his body behind me, and I knew without looking that he was planning and preparing for the worst outcome.
My nerves and body were highly tense and secretly accumulating strength, like a cat ready to pounce on its prey at any time, cautious and ready to go. I also prepared for the worst, if that green thing
To attack Chiyoko, I would have no choice but to fight to the death.
Seeing the green thing carrying Chiyoko to the temple gate, its tail had already been placed on the dilapidated threshold. The sunlight projected the figures of the green thing and Chiyoko on the ground. It looked like Chiyoko was carrying Chiyoko behind her.
As a pencil man, this is a scene I would never encounter in my dreams.
With a sharp scream of "hiss", Chiyoko's body suddenly stumbled forward, and then she collapsed to the ground, while the two short legs of the green thing behind her kicked back violently,
The whole body did a backflip in the air, and then it landed on its short limbs and twisted its body, hands and feet, and quickly fled out of the courtyard. The whole scene was like a lizard running on the desert. After a while, the green thing appeared.
Disappeared without a trace.
Jason followed closely and chased after him. He stood in the yard and looked around, but there was nothing except the grass all over the yard and the boring sound of crickets rubbing their wings hiding in the cracks of the bricks in the ruined walls.
, and there is no more that creepy "hissing" sound.
