Mysterious Awakening

Chapter 8 Strange Trees

Yang Jian quickened his pace and continued to move forward in the darkness.

"Tread, step~!"

But the clear footsteps behind him were still not slow or slow, and followed closely.

No matter how fast Yang Jian speeds up, he can't get rid of the footsteps, and as time goes by, the footsteps are getting closer.

At first, I just felt that the footsteps were only five or six meters away behind me.

But then the footsteps felt about three meters behind him.

Going forward, the footsteps almost finished one meter behind him.

Yang Jian held the phone tightly in his palm. He didn't dare to turn off the screen because he was ready to open the audio file at any time.

If that ghost really attacked him again.

The knock on the door from this audio file was the only way to save his life.

All tense, ready to fight back the ghost at any time.

However, things did not go as Yang Jian expected. The footsteps behind him were always one meter away from him, neither leaving nor continuing to approach.

And whether Yang Jian speeds up or slows down, the footsteps still maintain this delicate distance.

"Could it be that that thing is waiting for the battery of my mobile phone to run out?"

Suddenly, Yang Jian's face changed suddenly, and he became more and more uneasy when he saw that the phone's battery was less than [-]%.

If that was the case, it would only be a matter of time before he died at the hands of that ghost.

It's impossible to get out of here alive.

Look at the battery on the phone screen: 7%
"If the battery is lower than 5%, it is possible to shut down at any time."

Yang Jian now regrets it a little bit. Playing with his phone during the day will drain the battery.

"But now is not the time to think about it. If I don't want to die here, I have to run out of this hell before my phone's battery runs out, otherwise."

As soon as he gritted his teeth, he started running.

He ran as fast as he could in the direction where the tick-tock dripping sound came from.

"Ta, Tata~!"

The footsteps behind him followed closely, lingering.

Yang Jian could even feel the cold air coming from behind him, as well as the faint smell of corpse.

The ghost follows him like a shadow, chasing after him.

Under the full running, the position of the drop of water is getting closer and closer to him.

But at this moment, the phone screen is automatically turned on.

Battery: 5%.

The above shows: To prevent the phone from automatically shutting down, please charge it in time.

"damn it."

Yang Jian was panting, sweat dripping from his body, he glanced at it, and his heart became more and more panicked.

Although he was tired, he dared not stop.

To stop means to die.

Continue to grit your teeth and run.

Suddenly, a faint ray of light appeared in front of the darkness.

This light is a faint red, which is particularly clear in the dark, like a ray of Mars in the dark night. Although it is weak, it is particularly conspicuous.

"That is."

Yang Jian's eyes lit up, and his heart was ecstatic, as if he saw the hope of living.

However, at this time, the phone in his hand vibrated, and the screen lit up again.

Above shows: Auto-shutdown is in progress.

Although there is still a little power, the phone has begun to force shutdown.

However, at the moment when the screen of the mobile phone was completely extinguished.

Yang Jian felt a chilly aura coming from behind him, and the sound of footsteps approached quickly. The thing was immediately attached from a distance of one meter away.

right behind.

Although he couldn't see it in the darkness, he could feel a cold, pale palm stretched out over his ear, grabbing towards his neck.

No matter how he ran, this palm couldn't get rid of it.

"Are you going to die here?" Yang Jian already felt that the cold fingers had touched the skin on his neck.

The coldness like ice cubes spread all over the body in an instant, causing goosebumps.

A faint corpse odor permeated the tip of the nose.

There is nowhere to go.

The red light in the darkness became more and more conspicuous.

Suddenly, the footsteps behind him stopped and disappeared in an instant. The cold palm just touched Yang Jian's neck but suddenly froze, not pinching him.

Yang Jian, who ran a few steps forward, felt the distance behind him.

It seemed that the ghost did not continue chasing him.

"Just, just now, what happened?"

After running for a while, Yang Jian really couldn't run anymore. He stopped and gasped for breath.

Think back to the scary scene before.

He can be sure that his survival is definitely not because of his great life, but because the ghost gave up chasing him, but why?
Listened left and right.

The footsteps that followed were never heard again.

I seem to be temporarily safe.

"Let's leave it alone. Since that thing didn't come after me, it means I'm all right now. No matter what, I have to get out of here as soon as possible." Yang Jian gasped, looked up at the position of the red light, and walked away. past.

Soon, he came to the position where the red light was emitted.

"Light bulb? Glass beads?" Yang Jian was stunned, he couldn't really see what it was in the darkness.

He tried to reach out and touch it, where the red light was emitted.

"Ah~!"

In an instant, Yang Jian felt a sharp sting, and he quickly retracted his palm.

"This, this is not a lamp."

However, what frightened him was that he saw that the glass ball emitting red light was actually sticking to his hand, and it was still squirming frantically, and a hole was drilled into the back of his hand.

Cold, pain, instantly enveloped the body.

Yang Jian fell to the ground, the pain made him twitch all over, like cramps peeling skin and crushing his soul.

But in the painful struggle, Yang Jian found that the surroundings had changed.

The darkness surrounding him began to recede quickly.

see clearly
Everything around is clear.

It was as if he had night vision all of a sudden.

Pain comes and goes quickly.

After struggling for only 3 minutes, Yang Jian felt that the pain began to recede like a tide.

He was lying on the ground almost collapsed, gasping for breath, and the muscles all over his body were still twitching slightly because of the pain just now.

"what is the problem."

After a while, Yang Jian recovered a bit, and then he just sat up struggling as if he had escaped from death.

However, when he saw everything around him clearly, his eyes shrank suddenly, and his face showed a look of astonishment.

In front of you is a tree.

A pale tree that grew out of bones.

There were tattered human skins, dirty cloth strips, mummified heads, and weird paper banners hanging on the tree. But what made him even more frightened was that on the trunk of the tree lay a four-meter-tall tall man. people.

No, not people.

It was a shadow, a shadow with the same outline as a person, as if it was condensed from darkness.

The tall black figure was motionless, hanging upside down on a tree with its head turned to the ground.

He looked carefully, but found an iron nail the size of an adult's arm was nailed to the chest of the shadow. No, it should be a coffin nail commonly used by the people. Scattered, as if to break.

"Tick, tick~!"

Black blood was flowing from the place where the shadow was pinned.

Before walking all the way, the sound of dripping water in the darkness turned out to be this.

But when Yang Jian saw the head of this huge black shadow, his whole body suddenly froze.

The black shadow's head has no face outline, but only a notch. The notch seems to be the position of the black shadow's eye, and the red light before seems to be its eyeball.

Yang Jian looked at the back of his hand.

"Guru~!"

The cracked flesh was stretched open, and a red eyeball turned a few times to reveal it, and at the same time, a strange perspective appeared in my mind.

It seems that an eye really grows on the back of the hand, and the picture of this eye can be transmitted to the mind.

Weird, grotesque, or perhaps an unknown ability.

But Yang Jian looked at this weird bone tree, with the human skin on it, the mummified corpse, and the huge black shadow nailed to the trunk.

"It's very weird here. No matter what the tree is, it's better to leave as soon as possible."

He vaguely felt that the huge black shadow nailed to the tree was more terrifying than the old man.

And he also seemed to be aware that the empty eye sockets of the mummified corpse hanging on the tree seemed to be watching him secretly.

There is a creepy feeling.

He looked at the red eyes exposed on the back of his hand, a haze enveloped his heart, lingering.

It's just not the time to care about it right now.

The darkness around him seemed to have faded away, and Yang Jian could clearly see everything around him.

It was a dark, endless space, with nothing but this dead tree with bones.

It was like a different world, not a place he knew at all.

But when he looked back, he could see that there was a door in the direction he came from. It was the door of the toilet.

It turned out that the door was so close to me that I hadn't noticed it before.
