The man walked up step by step, his high heels making harsh footsteps on the cement road.
Ding Xiaoyi's face turned cold. He didn't expect the other party to notice him. Although he was willing to help others, it didn't mean he liked to meddle in other people's business, not to mention that the man in front of him was obviously not normal.
"Sorry, I'm in a hurry!"
Ding Xiaoyi turned around and walked back. However, when he turned around, he saw the empty main street behind him, which was completely silent.
On the empty bluestone road, the neon lights that should have been like daylight all dimmed at this time.
This noisy city that never sleeps has finally fallen silent, but the silence is terrifying.
"How is this going?"
Ding Xiaoyi felt horrified and couldn't help but quicken his pace.
At the same time, he fumbled for the bunch of keys from his trouser pocket.
As I walked, I silently recited the four words "Chai Mu's new home".
But this time the key didn't respond.
"Useless?"
Realizing that the key did not work, Ding Xiaoyi frowned slightly.
He raised his head and took a serious look at the dead, empty streets around him.
Although it is an old city, at this time, the streets are more dilapidated than before.
This made him feel cold, and he couldn't help but think of the Hades Car.
Suddenly, a familiar feeling hit him, making him suspect that he must have hit a ghost now.
No, the word ghost is the dregs of the old times.
Using the current alliance's explanation, he encountered some kind of psychic creature.
This couldn't help but surprise Ding Xiaoyi, putting aside the last taxi ride and his new Chaimu home.
Although he had heard reports about this, he had never encountered it.
Psychic creatures tend to appear only on newly discovered continents.
As for where humans originally lived, it was very rare to encounter psychic creatures.
"Don't go!"
The footsteps behind him became faster and faster.
"Da da da da..." makes people sound upset.
"Don't go, help me, I can't walk anymore."
The man's voice behind him shouted urgently.
Ding Xiaoyi didn't look back, he groped for his arms with one hand, but deliberately slowed down.
Two days ago, if I had encountered this kind of thing, I would have been completely confused.
People's fear mostly comes from the unknown.
But in just two days, Ding Xiaoyi really saw too many incredible things.
Whether it's the taxi, Chaimu Xinju, or even the big-headed monster.
After these two days of experience, I no longer have the same fear of psychic creatures as ordinary people.
Especially if you still have a trump card in your hand.
After feeling the coldness pouring into his palm, Ding Xiaoyi became calmer for a moment.
The pace also slowed down.
"Don't go!" accompanied by the patter of footsteps in my ears.
A gray-white palm grabbed his shoulder from behind.
The strength of this hand was surprisingly strong, and it pulled his body back.
At this time, Ding Xiaoyi noticed the man in front of him head-on for the first time.
Under the thin cheeks and pale skin, the deeply sunken eye sockets were covered with dense bloodshot eyes.
"help me!"
As the man spoke, he grabbed Ding Xiaoyi's throat with both hands. His seemingly bony arms actually lifted him up from the ground easily.
However, at this moment, Ding Xiaoyi's eyes turned cold and he pushed his palm towards the man's chest.
A ball of enchanting purple light suddenly flashed in Ding Xiaoyi's palm.
When the purple light collided with the man's chest, there seemed to be some kind of chemical reaction.
"Boom!" sounded like a ball of fire exploding between the two of them.
"ah!"
After the man's body touched the flames, he immediately let out a scream.
With a flick of his arms, Ding Xiaoyi felt as if his body was being thrown out of a sandbag.
With a "Bang!" sound, he hit the wall on the side, and the tearing pain made him almost lose his breath.
At this time, purple light flashed in front of him.
It quickly swallowed up the man's upper body.
"hiss…"
Although the effect of purple beads has been verified in my mind by the big-headed monster.
However, the effect at this time far exceeded expectations.
"Ahhhh..."
The man let out a shrill scream, and his body struggled wildly in the purple fire, but at this time, his flesh and blood dissolved like a candle.
Ding Xiaoyi smelled the smell of corpse.
This is a unique taste.
It's not a simple stench as people think.
Rather, it smells like decay with sesame oil.
"Ugh~"
The first time he smelled this smell, he couldn't help but vomited.
I can't even get used to the smell.
No matter how unpleasant the stench is, it is a cesspool in the hot summer.
The smell will only gradually get used to you after you retching for a while.
But this rancid smell is different. The smell is mixed with the pervasive aroma of oil.
It's simply a mixed injury, and the smell is even more greasy, which you can't get used to at all.
Ding Xiaoyi covered his mouth, ignored his injuries, quickly got up and ran back.
It wasn't until he was ten meters away that he dared to exhale a long breath.
But the clothes on his body still retain the lingering stench.
It seems like that man is no longer human.
Judging from the opponent's performance, it is somewhat in line with the official evil spirit level.
Ding Xiaoyi couldn't believe how such an evil spirit could appear in a human residential area.
Moreover, it is still in the densely populated old city.
But why do you always let yourself encounter this kind of thing?
coincide?
If this is also a coincidence, then the coincidences in the past two days are a bit too many.
Ding Xiaoyi couldn't help but fell into deep thought, vaguely feeling that it was definitely not a coincidence that he would encounter a psychic creature.
Maybe there is some special information somewhere that I have overlooked.
By this time, the purple fire in the alley had been extinguished.
Along with it, the screams of the man just now were extinguished.
The alley was filled with a sour-smelling smoke.
Ding Xiaoyi covered his mouth and nose and leaned forward to observe carefully.
They saw that the body had been burned into human-shaped ashes.
But you can still see the man's curled-up fingers tightly clasped together.
It seems that he is suffering unimaginable pain during this process.
"Sorry, you are already dead, I can't save you."
He is not very clear about the specific effects of purple beads.
But judging from my own experiments, the effect of purple beads is very overbearing, but it only targets psychic creatures.
Living people like myself, and even cooked meat made into ham, are not harmful.
This further confirmed that the man in front of him had already become a corpse from the beginning.
I don’t know what happened to the other party and why it became like this.
But it was obvious that he had no ability to save him.
After Ding Xiaoyi glanced at the corpse, he subconsciously looked at the feet of the corpse.
Those bright red high-heeled shoes left a deep impression on him.
But at this moment, Ding Xiaoyi's expression suddenly froze, and he stared straight at the feet that were burned into charcoal residue.
"Where are the shoes?"
The high heels are missing.
Ordinarily, even if it is burned down, some clues will still be left behind.
But right now, the carbonized feet were completely black, and the toes were tightly hooked, but they didn't look like they were wearing shoes at all.
Wait... At this moment, he suddenly remembered that the man before said repeatedly that he couldn't walk anymore.
Could it be...
"Hiss~"
The coldness hit, making Ding Xiaoyi's scalp numb.
I don't know if it's because of the stinging pain from the injury I just suffered, or the cold feeling in my heart.
At this time, cold sweat could not help but roll down his forehead.
"clatter……"
Suddenly, crisp footsteps sounded on the bright bluestone.
A crisp and powerful voice echoed in the empty streets.
A pair of bright red shoe uppers stepped out of the darkness.
I saw this high-heeled shoe that was as red as blood.
Ding Xiaoyi suddenly felt like he was facing a formidable enemy.
What I thought was correct, the real psychic creature was not the man who had been burned to charcoal on the ground.
But the pair of bright red shoes in front of me.
He quickly clenched the purple pearl into his fist.
Make a defensive stance and be wary of the pair of high heels in front of you.
However, the shoes did not come closer to him, and he stood quietly in the shadow for a long time.
The shoe on the left moved forward, and the shoe on the right was carried backwards.
Before he understands what these shoes are for.
I saw my shoes turn around and walk along the end of the alley.
The footsteps of "ta da da..." sounded much brisker than before.
At least it won't be as heart-stringing as it was just now.
The shoes gradually disappeared under the dim yellow light.
Ding Xiaoyi suddenly felt a nauseating feeling in his chest, and then his eyes turned black.
There were random and weird screams all around.
After the sound came like a tide, the sound soon began to become clearer in my ears.
As the light in front of me gradually changed from hazy to clear, the nauseating and strange feeling in my chest also disappeared.
On the street behind him, neon lights of various colors illuminated his shadow.
He looked up at the dim alley in front of him, the old street lamp shining a dusty light not far away.
It was as if everything he had seen before was like a false fantasy.
But the disgusting rotten smell on his body was still so pungent.
As well as the cold touch of the purple beads in his palm, they all reminded me that just now, I had encountered the rumored psychic creature.
Ding Xiaoyi shook his head, trying to clear his mind, then turned around and left from the alley.
Regardless of whether he had really encountered a psychic creature just now, he had no intention of continuing to move forward.
Following the crowd on the main street, Ding Xiaoyi walked forward in a daze.
[Now playing a piece of news. There have been many robberies in this city recently. The Alliance Superintendent has identified the suspect. If you find any clues about this suspect, please report it as soon as possible. 】
On the big screen at the intersection, a reward notice appeared, making Ding Xiaoyi startled.
Looking at the photo of the man above, I was surprised and said: "It turns out to be him."
