Chapter 168 The Man With the Knife in the Back
well!
Things often develop undesirably!
Originally, I thought I was about to escape successfully, but at this moment, as soon as I stepped out of the door and turned around, I suddenly saw a mummy-like old man sitting in a wheelchair, with a proud smile on his face and looking at me.
relatively!
It was actually waiting at the door, waiting!!!
And at this time, I can also feel that Jasmine is no longer here. She must have left because her spirit body was exhausted!
I have no way out and no reinforcements. At this moment, I am only one step away from this evil spirit!
"Ahhh... don't come here!!!" I could only shout loudly.
Out of nervousness, I stretched out my hands in front of me, just as a desperate act of resistance.
In this way, the candle in his hand was also close to the evil spirit's face!
Miraculously, the old man in the wheelchair seemed to be afraid of the candlelight turning into a normal color, so he actually pushed the wheelchair one step backwards with his backhand.
Then, it stared at me with a hollow and plaintive look.
In order to find a substitute, it obviously would not let me go, even though it was afraid of the little candlelight in my hand.
I don’t know why, but when I met this scary old man head-on, I felt less nervous and instead felt a little sympathy.
Because I remembered what Jasmine said, which was the reason for the formation of the barrier in the small foreign building...
I suddenly felt that whether they were the warlord or the lonely old man, these two evil spirits were actually pitiful people during their lifetime, especially the lonely old man who was finally smoked to death, which made people feel pitiful and sad.
During his lifetime, he sat alone in the attic, with only a mirror as his companion every day.
Think about it, such an old age is really desolate!
Maybe I had some sympathy for it in my heart. At this time, when I looked at the evil spirit's face again, I didn't know why, but it turned out that that dry and terrifying face looked like a mummy. When it was illuminated by the orange candlelight, I saw that
It looks much more pleasing to the eye, and not as scary as before.
This phenomenon is not difficult to explain. Jasmine told me just now that the existence of a spirit body is like a cloud of smoke, which is inherently formless and colorless.
If unfortunately seen, it will also change according to the subjective consciousness of the observer.
I was chased around by it in a small foreign-style building before, and I felt extremely scared of what was chasing me behind me, so when I saw it, it seemed even more terrifying.
And now?
In my heart, I felt some pity for it.
My state of mind changed, it was different from before, so when I looked at the old man's spirit body, it didn't seem so scary.
No matter what kind of scene I see, it doesn't mean that the old man opposite is safe, it is still very aggressive towards me!
I was holding a candle in my hand. The old man in the wheelchair seemed to be very afraid of the candle light. He didn't dare to get close to me, but he wouldn't give way to me easily.
If it had been blocking the corridor, I would not have been able to leave the third floor, nor would I have been able to go down the stairs or enter the exit door on the second floor.
If it lasts until dawn, I will still die here!
what to do?
Suddenly, I thought that I am still not out of the barrier, and my nature is still considered a spirit body.
If I say something reasonable to this old man, will he understand me?
I had no choice but to take the risk and give it a try!
So, I asked tentatively in a low voice: "Um, can you... hear... what I'm saying?!"
The old man in the wheelchair was in a daze for a moment, then raised his face and looked at me...
Although I don't know if the other party can understand my words, at least, they can hear my voice.
So I said again: "I came to this small building with no ill intentions. In fact, I was also framed..."
Never expected...
When I mentioned the word "framed", the old man's eyes suddenly widened, and a murderous aura suddenly appeared in his dark eyes!
This murderous aura is really scary!
I was so scared that I took a step back!
But soon, it calmed down. It seemed that the murderous intention was not caused by me.
In an instant, I also figured out that it was because the owner of this small building, the warlord, had also been framed by his own men...
Thinking about it this way...
Could it be said that this old man's main consciousness should be that warlord, rather than the lonely old man who died recently?
After our brief stalemate, the warlord's spirit actually spoke.
Moreover, I can understand what it says.
"I...I have also been framed..."
Very good. If you can speak, we can communicate.
I asked again: "Old man, who framed you?"
When I asked, the warlord looked at the roof with empty eyes and said intermittently: "I have killed many people in my life...I am not afraid of being framed...but...but I didn't expect...the person who framed me...that
Man...he will be the person I trust the most..."
I thought to myself, if I use my ability to talk a lot and speak plainly to the warlord across from me, can I get a chance of survival?
No time to think about it, I'm ready to give it a try!
Next, after sighing and getting close to the warlord for a while, I really got a lot of useful information from the warlord's mouth...
The warlord told me that a long, long time ago, he was framed by a person, which is why he ended up like this. He had no idea that the person who framed him would be the person closest to his heart!
Having said this, the warlord's face showed a chilling expression, which made me feel very uncomfortable.
The warlord begins to reminisce about the past...
He said that when he was young and strong, he was on the battlefield. Once, he captured the base camp of another warlord leader, killed all those who resisted him, and captured dozens of prisoners.
The warlord felt that he was not poisonous and unworthy of his husband, so he planned to kill all the prisoners as well.
However, there was only one boy among the prisoners. He looked about thirteen or fourteen years old, with clear eyes, and he felt compassion.
After asking about it, the child said that he was a strong man captured by the enemy in a neighboring village.
The warlord saw that the child was very clever, so he stayed with him. At first he was just a stable boy, a handyman who led and fed the horses.
Later, when the child grew up, he became the warlord's personal guard, and later, he became the warlord's adjutant.
Every time they go to the battlefield, the two never leave each other and share the same love as father and son.
Moreover, the warlords also had great trust in the words of their adjutants and obeyed them.
When the warlord was about to retire into the mountains and forests, he was reluctant to let his adjutant leave him, so he chose to keep him by his side.
However……
The warlord never thought that the person who betrayed him in the end would be this adjutant...
What is raising tigers to cause trouble?
This is raising tigers and causing trouble!!!
The warlord was framed by his most trusted lieutenant and put on death row. Before he breathed his last breath, he still couldn't figure out why the child he had grown up with wanted to harm him.
