The Exorcist

Chapter 20 The troops are divided into two groups

The headless classmate, as if he could see it, rushed straight into the crowd. As everyone screamed and escaped, he fell to the ground with a "gudong", and the blood in his neck was also there. Only then did it squirt out!

The cold raindrops and warm blood almost splashed onto everyone's skin exposed outside their clothes. I don't know how it was done, but everyone directly felt this indescribable and intuitive horror!

This caused two girls to faint on the spot, and one boy ran back towards the waterhole while screaming.

"I'm not leaving! I want to go back! I want to go back-" He ran further and further away, no matter how hard we shouted from behind, he couldn't look back! We all waited in panic, fearing that something terrible would happen again, but after waiting for a long time, nothing happened!

At this time, the rain stopped!

"Maybe we should go back!" Seeing that the classmate who ran away was not killed, someone started to suggest this.

No one answered him because everyone was unsure. We were like prey, being hunted and driven away by unknown things in the dark mountain forest until we all died in this mountain!

Just when we couldn't make up our mind, the woman's voice came out again, this time humming, and the low and resentful tune sounded from all directions, making people unable to feel which direction she was in, only the music. It echoes in our ears and penetrates into the depths of everyone's heart.

"Jiao'er, fall asleep quickly, the moon -" she sang slowly.

If you listen carefully, you can see that she is singing a lullaby with a contented tone, like a mother coaxing her baby to sleep after dinner. But what should have been a gentle tune was sung by her in an extremely gloomy tone!

"We can't get out! He's going to eat us all, no one will be left!" A classmate suddenly shouted hysterically, sitting on the ground and digging hard, as if he wanted to dig a hole to hide inside, "No one will be left! Eat!" Drop it! Eat it! Eat it!”

His crazy behavior stimulated everyone's already fragile nerves. For a while, the team began to become unstable again, crying and screaming, and the desperate mentality infected each other, as if we had no chance of survival, and that kind of feeling was everywhere. It is better to give up the emotion of resistance!

I was so anxious that I yelled at them to tell them to wake up, but it was of no use at all, but I knew that if this continued, no one would survive!

At this time, Ah Zhan, who had been silent all this time, suddenly walked over and grabbed the girl closest to him. He didn't know how to show mercy to her, so he slapped her with a loud slap, and then the next one, until she hit the seventh one. , the other students were restrained!

"You want to die, don't you? Why are you afraid of a slap in the face?" He said mockingly, "If you want to die, don't cry and howl here. If you can, separate and go into the woods. Isn't it just death anyway?"

The other students were stunned by his sudden outburst and did not dare to reply. They were all stunned. Because he was always cold and didn't even say much, and no one had ever seen such a furious scene.

As soon as the scene became quiet, the woman's voice started up again, still singing, but A-Zhan might have been furious, so he shouted, "Shut up!" which actually made the strange noise stop.

"If you want to die, get away from me. If you want to live, squat down immediately!" Azhan said loudly, "And if anyone is disobedient again, I swear I will never take him out of this ghost mountain!"

His momentum and the word "ghost" in his words carried an indescribable sense of oppression, so everyone squatted down silently without saying a word, and acted as if he was following him.

Seeing that the situation was slightly under control, Ah Zhan waved to me. When I approached him, he drew the talisman casually, and I felt that all the sounds from the outside world were suddenly cut off. Then I realized that he was afraid that our conversation would be heard, so he set up a barrier. But his skills were quite poor at that time, so the barrier was very small, only big enough for the two of us to get very close. Otherwise, he might have protected everyone inside, and that way there wouldn't have been so many things. !

"We can't continue walking now." He whispered. Although there was a barrier, he still seemed uneasy. As he spoke, he looked around cautiously.

"What's wrong?"

"I didn't expect them to leave there and chase them out." He frowned in annoyance, "Maybe when we were busy rescuing people, they had already attached themselves to our things, because it stands to reason that the soul cannot leave the burial ground for a long time. Far away, unless there’s something to attach to.”

"These two are very fierce!" I said.

"Yes, it must have been a violent death, and it took a long time, so we can't go forward."

"So are we going back?"

"It will be more dangerous to approach their territory! Are you stupid?" Azhan glared at me. "The problem is that it is midnight now. We are not familiar with the mountain roads here. There are more things that can be hidden in the dense forest."

"Then it's impossible to move forward, and it's impossible to retreat. Should we wait here?" I was also a little anxious.

"That's right, we just have to wait. It will be dawn in two hours, and everything will be solved by then. But it seems that these two hours will be quite dangerous, and we can't sit still and wait for death. We have to think of a plan!"

"If you have an idea, just say it! I will absolutely obey." I said.

"In this way, they must have seen that you and I are difficult to deal with among this group of people. Therefore, the two of us are responsible for each side."

"You said we should act separately?"

"Yes, you know there are two of them, and I don't have the ability to deal with them together. They are still calm now, and they will definitely have more ruthless tricks when the sky gets brighter. I believe you can see that these two are full of resentment, no They won't be finished until we are killed. So, I went back to the water pool alone. They must have thought that I was raiding their home base, and they would never dare to neglect me. Even if they didn't both go back to deal with me and stop me along the way, they would definitely One will come back, and it will be the more powerful one, so your chances of survival will be much greater!"

"What should you do?" I was a little worried. There are so many of us, and accidents happen constantly. Isn't it more dangerous for Ah Zhan to be alone?

Azhan smiled and said, "I can run away if I can't fight. I still have the ability to protect myself. But you can't stay here. It's best to have an open area."

"But where can we find open space for those who are burning in the dark?" I was so anxious that I couldn't help it. "Even if we burn the mountain, the heavy rain has just stopped and the trees are so wet, we still can't burn it."

"I can try it with the charm, but I can't let anyone else know about it except you." Ashan said, he used the knife he carried with him to cut his finger hard, and tore open my coat, writing all over my close-fitting white T-shirt. Got the blood talisman.

"We have burned a clearing, and you have to make sure that they don't see me, so that I can take the time to write a few blood spells on the ground. This will be somewhat of a hindrance. But after I leave, if the things left behind want to attack you, Everything depends on you. You hold the Bloodwood Sword. Although it cannot exert greater power, at least it can protect you, and Nana!"

He was about to open the barrier and go out, but I stopped him, "What do you mean?"

He hesitated, "We have already lost three people, but you should know that there will be more losses, because you and I can't protect that many people, we can only protect one more. We don't know how powerful they are, so I don’t know what the outcome will be.”

"how about you?"

"Leave me alone, remember not to run away, just stay here. No matter what temptations there are, no matter how dangerous you feel here, or how safe other places are, don't leave, and try to control other people! If I don't come back at dawn, you leave first , and then——come to me again!”

"I don't want to hear you say that!" I felt uneasy and wanted to be reassured, "You must come back!"

A Zhan paused for a moment, then nodded solemnly. I was relieved when I saw Ah Zhan tearing my white T-shirt into strips, and then he went deep into the bushes alone and tied the rags to the branches every few steps until we were surrounded in a small circle. .

"We're going to set fire to the clearing!" he said, and then pretended to use a lighter.

With a 'bang' sound, the fire suddenly started burning all around. Because the fire was caused by the talisman, it burned very well. There was no thick smoke, and it did not cross the boundary. It burned a circle according to the area defined by Azhan in advance. .

I saw Ah Zhan squatting on the ground and finishing drawing the blood spells in all four directions, then I asked my classmates to pull out the weeds in the center of the circle. In this way, we seemed to be in an open space.

"Azhan, where are you going?" Nana, who had been silent, called out when she saw Azhan was about to leave. Only then did I notice that she was as scared as the other students. Because we were in a state of shock all night, I didn't even notice her in particular.

"I'm going to find my missing classmates. If you stay here, Wanli will protect you." Azhan replied, and then left without waiting for anyone else to say a word.

"None of us can leave this circle now. As long as we unite and stick here, everything will be fine!" When I saw A Zhan gone, everyone seemed to have lost their backbone, so we had to pretend to be the boss.

I wrapped the talisman left by Azhan in the pulled weeds, lit it into a fire, and directed everyone to sit around the fire, telling them not to pay attention to any unusual movements, as long as they stayed here. It will be fine!

"Will A Zhan come back?" Nana sat next to me and asked tremblingly.

While comforting her, I also had to watch the situation around me.

It was relatively peaceful at this time. Because of the fire and because of our busyness, the ghosts didn't bother us for a while. But also because of this unusual calm, it felt like a big stone was weighing on our hearts. We felt like they were brewing something. There is a greater conspiracy. Although it seems fine on the surface, a strong uneasiness hangs over each of us.

Sure enough, as soon as the firewood dimmed down, there was a loud sound all around.

Woo--

The woman began to cry.

"I'm so cold, please pull me out!" She begged, "My baby is about to be born, ugh - he is going to starve to death!"

We stood together, body by body, arm by arm, trembling in a ball, not daring to answer or raise our heads.

"I'm so cold, pull me out!" She repeated, slowly approaching, but never entering the circle. Apparently the blood spell painted on the four trigrams had some effect. Although he couldn't force her back, at least he couldn't let her in.

I also realized at this time that A Zhan was dealing with that strange baby.

"You are so cruel, why did you drag me out? I'm cold!"

She continued but we just ignored her!

"Humph, will hiding be useful?" After she acted mischievously for a while, she suddenly lost her temper, her voice was extremely sinister, and then we heard a strange wind blowing in our ears.

Something blew over from the dark woods. It felt like a balloon, bulging but light, flying right above us!

"Look at me!" Balloon said suddenly.

We knew clearly that it was the woman's voice and not the balloon, but we couldn't help but look up.

‘tick’——

A drop of blood fell.
