【004】Dark side

Jiang Rong looked around dully.

Zhong Kui and He Pengfei started to get busy. While cleaning up the messy things in the house, they went outside to pull dry yellow weeds and spread them on the ground to prepare for sleeping at night.

Zhiqing drove the car near the dilapidated building. When he got out of the car, he could see the solitary building standing tall in a large field of wormwood. He took out all the prepared items in the car and saw the building from a distance. Standing in front of him was a figure with a back, it should be Jiang Rong.

There were too many things to hold, including food, sleeping bags, and other things. He couldn't carry so many things at once, so he had to wave his hands towards Jiang Rong's back, "Rong Rong... come and help,"

Logically speaking, Zhiqing shouted down the wind, and Jiang Rong should have heard it, but she just stood there motionless, ignoring his shouts... At this moment, Jiang Rong, who had already gone upstairs, looked out of the window. Uncle Chen, who was down there, was waving his hands and shouting something, so he hurriedly said to Zhong Kui and the others: "Uncle Chen is calling me."

"Go ahead," Zhong Kui replied without turning his head.

Jiang Rong went downstairs.

Zhiqing looked at that figure in confusion, and suddenly saw another Jiang Rong walking out of the stairs. He suspected that he had seen it wrongly, so he rubbed his eyes hard and looked again, there was only one Jiang Rong, looking at him with a smile. He looked at her, beckoned and walked towards him.

Zhiqing was suspicious. He must have read it correctly just now. What was going on?

Jiang Rong trotted up to him and saw that his eyes were staring at her back. She couldn't help but turn around and saw that there was nothing behind her. She turned around and said, "Uncle Chen, what are you looking at?"

"It's nothing," he said doubtfully, and slowly looked away, secretly denying that maybe he had just seen something wrong, so he and Jiang Rong picked up a bag and walked towards the broken building.

The uninhabited town has a very empty feeling. No one can be seen, but the presence of human breath can be felt. Night comes as scheduled, and some tiny creatures in the wormwood begin to move.

For example, earthworms look for nutrients suitable for themselves in the soil, leaving behind a string of soil-like feces on the ground where they pass. Star-nosed moles, also called soil diggers, are a creature that farmers hate because they like to dig holes. , it screamed with a sharp "squeak,,squeak,,squeak" sound, and its sense of smell was particularly sensitive. Just now He Peng flew down to pull out the wormwood and accidentally stepped on one. He was so frightened that he jumped up and turned out to be a star-nosed one. Mole.

Standing at the window facing the wind, I could see past the low woods and see one side of the town... The house was simply tidied up, and the sound of gentle sleeping breathing came and went. Everyone was resting quietly, except Zhong Kui for a long time. Staring at that corner of the town, there was nothing in that corner that caught his attention at first, but just when he was about to take a rest, a bright light suddenly appeared there, and the bright light shone brightly in that part of the sky.

How could there be light in an uninhabited town? Could it be the truck from before? This question was tangled in his heart, and he had the idea of ​​​​going to see it. He glanced sideways at them who were resting sleepily in the darkness. Jiang Rong Leaning on the innermost side, Zhiqing leaned on her side in a protective manner, and He Pengfei, a stupid boy, had no choice but to sleep outside.

In the darkness, one could not clearly see their faces while sleeping. Only Jiang Rong occasionally murmured in her sleep. Girls must be more delicate after all. In such a difficult environment, they must not sleep well. She watched them silently. Yes, I didn't want to be alarmed, so I left decisively and quietly, and went downstairs step by step.

Walking in the uneven wormwood, he stepped on something from time to time and squeaked in panic. Zhong Kui ignored it. He was very familiar with this kind of sound. Moles survive by eating grass roots. In this late spring and cold season, there should be no snakes or anything like that. The cold wind is like a knife that hurts my cheeks. I pulled the collar casually, but it still couldn't block the intrusion of the cold wind.

The street was still deserted, except for the whirling wind and under the ray of light, there was a person standing, who seemed to be waiting for his arrival.

At first Zhong Kui thought it was Hei Wuchang, because the man was wearing black clothes and was as tall as him. Later, when he saw that this man was alone here, he knew that he was neither Hei Wuchang nor Bai Wuchang.

The light blue haze covered this person's face, and the expression on his face could not be seen clearly. It can only be said that his hearing is no worse than Zhong Kui's.

Suddenly turning 180 degrees, he looked directly at him and said, "You really have courage." Hearing the cold and cold voice of the other party, Zhong Kui randomly guessed that he was the messenger from hell.

The other party seemed to see through his inner thoughts at a glance, "Ha~ha~ha" "I am not the messenger of hell, I am Zhong Kui." His laughter was very hollow, and it sounded like it was coming from all directions, "You can't even see yourself How can you save your friends and your daughter if you can't even take care of them?"

Zhong Kui and Zhong Kui were startled, suspecting that their hearing was wrong. "Who are you," he said, taking a step closer to see the other person's face clearly.

"I am you, you are me," the other party seems to have set up a barrier, and no matter how hard Zhong Kui tries, he can't get close.

"What nonsense are you talking about? How could I be you? How could you be me?"

"You are not a god, you are a human being. The weakness of human beings is that they have justice and dark sides (inner demons). They are like twin brothers, closely dependent on each other, but always in conflict. I am your dark side (inner demons), "

"What do you want to do?" Zhong Kui looked at the other party in disbelief and asked.

"I want to make you a bet,"

"How to say,"

"If I win, you will have to become me and be suppressed for a long time and will never get ahead. If you win, then I will continue to be your slave,"

"What's the stakes,"

"Your friends, wife and daughter are all your bargaining chips,"

"Humph, since you are me, you should know that I don't have a family, so how can I have a wife and children?"

"Really," said the dark side, with a sinister smile at the corner of his mouth, "Then who is this person?" As he said that, he suddenly opened the black cloak like a curtain, and a panicked Jiang Rong emerged from under the cloak.

Seeing Jiang Rong, Zhong Kui suddenly understood that the inner demon had dragged her into a nightmare. In the dream, he could see her, but she couldn't see herself. What tricks did the inner demon want to play?

Jiang Rong had a nightmare. She dreamed that it was raining heavily in the sky, and the dark clouds were like the sky was about to collapse. The manic storm was almost about to overturn the roof. She was very scared. The dream was about her and her father Jiang. handsome.

There was lightning and thunder, and the wind blew unbridled. She ran wildly in the rain. When she saw what seemed to be her own home in front of her, she ran in without saying a word. Her father greeted her with a smile.
