Wen Jing recalled the historical military novel "The Imprint of History" that she read during the day. When talking to Gao Shuhe, she highly praised the later novel's description of the plot of the Eastern Front battlefield in Europe. She turned to more than 400 pages and read
Read it.
After reading it at that time, the suffocating sense of despair revealed in the text was too strong. She clearly remembered that in a hut surrounded by German troops, the injured Soviet female soldiers were waiting for death. On this cruel battlefield
, the average survival time of a soldier was only about 10 minutes. In the end, the female soldier shouted "Ula" (a word that soldiers often shout when charging in Russian) and rushed out of the house. As a result, she was killed before she could even fire a shot.
It turned into a hornet's nest.
The writing style of the author Li Yin is so good that Wen Jing is completely involved in the plot of the novel and the injured Soviet female soldier. She was thinking at the time, what would happen if she faced such despair? However, she even committed suicide
I don't have the courage either.
This was exactly the same as herself now. Now, she finally realized what despair was.
"You said humans can't deal with evil spirits, right? But I want to give it a try!"
When Yun Nai heard Wen Jing's words, he sighed and said, "I'm afraid this can't be realized."
"But it's better than sitting here waiting to die, right?"
Wen Jing then said nothing to Yun Nai and quickly moved to the door, picking up the ashtray that had fallen on the ground. At the same time, she also pulled the chair over.
Then, she paused under the window sill and said, "How about... if that thing comes in, let's smash it together?"
Yun Nai shook his head.
"It's useless. The residents have used every means you can think of to deal with evil spirits. Guns, blades, amulets, crosses, Buddha statues, holy water, black dog blood, all of them are useless. In the past, some residents even used black blood.
The donkey's hooves have all been used. But, without exception, none of them are useful. All have failed."
"This, this is unreasonable? If the evil spirits were so strong, humans would have been exterminated long ago. How many people have died in vain throughout the ages?"
"How could I possibly know this kind of thing?"
The evil spirits are approaching step by step, and they are trapped here and cannot get out. In this situation, there is no way to think of a way.
"Let's do this." Yun Nai came up with a solution that was not a solution: "You can escape to the second floor. For evil spirits, the residents must be killed. As for other people, it should be killable or not. You
Go upstairs, maybe the evil spirit will kill you and let you go."
"You...are you going to resist this evil spirit for me like this?"
Wen Jing was very shocked. She didn't expect Yun Nai to be able to do this.
"We are all mothers."
Yun Nai just said these words lightly, without joy or sadness. Perhaps she had expected that this day would come to her and had been fully mentally prepared.
Wen Jing grabbed Yun Nai's hand and said, "I won't let you die. If you want to escape, let's go to the second floor together..."
"Think about your children."
After Yun Nai said these words, Wen Jing's heart suddenly trembled.
"Let's go! Go to the second floor!"
Tears began to well up in Wen Jing's eyes, and then she said: "Then you...you...take care..."
When she said the last two words, her voice was like a mosquito. Immediately afterwards, she moved quickly towards the stairs and went upstairs quickly.
After arriving on the second floor, Wen Jing lowered her body tremblingly and moved little by little to the window, but she did not dare to stick her head out to look. Otherwise, if the evil spirit discovered it, the consequences would be disastrous.
She walked into the bedroom, locked the door, took the ashtray, and huddled in a corner.
What should she do if...an evil spirit comes?
Just use the ashtray in your hand to deal with the evil spirits? But this may not be useful.
Why do you have to go through something like this?
Why do evil spirits kill innocent people for no reason?
Why did he have to take this child with him when he finally decided to give birth to the child?
Too many whys are swirling in my mind. However, no one can answer these questions.
She leaned her head against the wall, and the sound of wind and rain outside became louder and louder.
She stared at the door in front of her and kept rubbing her hands together. If she didn't do something now, she felt like she would really go crazy.
For the first time, Wen Jing realized that the passage of time could be so long. One second was as long as a lifetime. Maybe the next moment, she would hear miserable screams coming from downstairs.
Or maybe... there won't be any sound.
…
A minute passed...
Two minutes have passed...
Three minutes have passed...
Four minutes have passed...
…
Wen Jing looked at her watch again.
Ten minutes have passed.
However, after so long, there was still no movement downstairs.
No matter how slow it is...it's been so long, it's time to get there, right?
Or is it that the evil spirit is slowly killing them with a cat-and-mouse mentality?
Or... is it really like what Yun Nai said, the evil spirit can kill or not kill people other than the residents, so there is no choice to kill her?
However, Wen Jing still had a glimmer of hope in her heart. She slowly lay on the window sill, slightly sticking her head out and looking out the window.
In the strong wind and heavy rain, no one was seen.
So……
Has it come in?
Is it on the first floor?
Did it leave after Yun Nai was killed?
There are various possibilities, but Wen Jing has a glimmer of hope in her heart. Maybe the evil spirit will really not kill her again? If she can survive until the end of the Scarlet Mission, then she may be able to go down the mountain.
hope!
After experiencing despair, Yun Nai realized how satisfying hope is.
After everything she experienced today, she vowed to overcome all difficulties and raise this child until she becomes an adult.
She can definitely do it!
Wen Jing knelt on the ground and prayed to all the gods that could be remembered in his mind.
Let her live...
Let her give birth to this child...
Please don't...let her hopes fail!
Please don't let her hopes be dashed!
Praying... praying... praying over and over again...
I don’t know how much time passed, but suddenly... there was a knock on the door from behind!
"It's me, Wen Jing."
Wen Jing immediately recognized that it was Yun Nai's voice!
She rushed to the door, opened it, and saw Yun Nai safe and sound outside. Wen Jing could hardly believe her eyes.
"You, are you okay?"
"I don't know why, I'm fine." Yun Nai had already prepared herself mentally for death, "But it seems that my life should not be taken."
"Haha... great, great! Wait... are you sure it didn't come in?"
"Evil spirits kill people in an instant, and it is unlikely that they will continue for such a long time without taking action. Maybe one of Dong Xie and Li Mingzhong died, creating a gap between killings, so they can't kill me yet."
"Could it be that... masks are really a way to survive?" Wen Jing immediately pointed to the masks on both sides and said, "I never took off my mask just now."
"I have been wearing a mask too..." Yun Nai also touched the mask and felt incredible, "Is it really related to the mask?"
"If this is the case, then just as a precaution, we should not take off the masks! Maybe wearing a mask is the only way to survive!"
"Not necessarily. Maybe the evil spirit just came to the house just to scare us. This kind of situation is also very common in the Scarlet Mission. In short, we cannot take it lightly. We still have to find ways to find ways to survive."
Yun Nai obviously has more rigorous thinking and will not accept this conclusion easily.
"Also, I can't understand why wearing a mask can be considered a way to survive..."
"It would be best to join up with Dong Xie and the others..."
Yun Nai walked to the window and pushed the window with her hand.
This time...
The window is open.
"Huh..." Yun Nai breathed a sigh of relief, "That's great. Maybe it's really just to scare us."
"I just prayed to all the gods I can think of." Although the wind blowing outside was cold, Wen Jing felt very warm. "This world is indeed cruel, but it is also full of hope.
.”
"Yeah...a cruel...yet beautiful world. This is living."
Yun Nai pulled up the window again, but left a small gap in the middle.
"We have to find a way... to find Dong Xie and the others as soon as possible!"
