Chapter 32: Will-o'-the-wisp

The moment I saw that face, I finally forgot to hide my figure, couldn't help but scream, and ran out of the corner. My scream immediately attracted the attention of Shanshan and Director Zhang.

, almost subconsciously, both of them shined their flashlights on me, and at this moment, the three people who were unwilling to face each other finally stood together.

After being irradiated by the flashlight, I just instinctively glanced back, ignoring the questioning and awkward looks between the two people opposite me, and turned my head again, but behind me, I never saw that terrifying face again.

.

Her sudden appearance and sudden disappearance left me with inexplicable fear and surprise, as well as the conflict between the three people that I had to face.

I also turned on the flashlight, and the three of them stood in a triangle. Each of us saw a deep sense of warning in the eyes of the other two. No one knew how to speak. The atmosphere on the scene was full of depression for a while.

At this moment, Director Zhang suddenly said "Hey", and then his face showed an excited look. My heart moved, and I followed his eyes and saw several moving bright spots in the distance. I first

I was stunned for a moment, and then I understood. I glanced at Shanshan, and she happened to be looking at me as well. In addition to the deep indifference, we both saw the same answer on each other's faces: the group of people who welcomed the bride were back.

Last time when I came to Fengmen Village with Shanshan and Lengyue, I found that the old woman was always saying similar things repeatedly, and I suspected that the people here were actually doing the same thing repeatedly. At this time

Seeing the familiar scene appear again, I immediately thought that it must be the group of people welcoming the bride, but I didn't understand why Director Zhang was so excited when he saw these people.

The torches gradually walked down, and soon they arrived at the place where I met them for the first time. It was there that I met Jia Chong, and it was also there that I saw the panic on the old man's face when he saw Shanshan. Thinking of this,

I glanced at her involuntarily, and Shanshan also stared at the torches, with a calm expression on her face. However, the expression on Director Zhang's face was a little strange. It seemed that she wanted to rush to those torches immediately, but she didn't dare because she was afraid of something.

He moved, his eyes were shining, and he could not help but make some low sounds in his throat. At that moment, I felt that he was even more like a beast.

I didn’t know why Director Zhang had such a strange reaction. I turned around and looked at the torches. I saw them stopped at that location and thought to myself: I wonder if they would also encounter them in that place now.

What people?

That place is a bit far away from where I am now. If it weren't for the presence of torches in the dark night, I wouldn't have been able to see it. Even so, it took me some time to remember that it was the first time I met them.

Of course, it is impossible to go there and see what's going on at such a long distance. What's more, both Shanshan and Director Zhang are here. Although I don't know their purpose, I always feel that this is the key to the secret.

, so I didn’t plan to actually go there and take a look.

But at this moment, Director Zhang suddenly let out a low roar and rushed towards me. Looking at the direction he was going, he was heading towards the groups welcoming the bride. I was stunned for a moment and didn't react.

When I came over, there was another gust of wind around me, and Shanshan rushed past me. At the same time, I heard her whisper: "Stop him quickly!"

I didn't understand what was going on, but seeing the two people getting further away, I could only vaguely see their figures through the flashlights in their hands, and I hurriedly chased after them.

It was pitch black all around. Fortunately, the flashlights of the two people in front of me were still on, and I was very familiar with this village, so although I started slower than them, I didn't lose my direction. But for some reason, I always felt that there were still people behind me.

There was someone I couldn't see following me. I looked back and saw nothing but darkness, but when I ran forward again, there were rustling footsteps behind me again.

I couldn't help but think of the woman I saw again. So far I can say that I have experienced too many weird events that most people will never encounter in their lives. My nerves have become very strong, but after seeing

When I saw that woman's face, I felt a huge and inexplicable fear again.

The woman I saw had a face exactly like mine.

If I had been in another place before this, I would have been surprised or curious at most that this person looked so similar to me, but that was the extent of it. After all, there are many people who look alike in the world. But I heard what Director Zhang said.

After reading the story of Yang Zijiang and Shanshan and experiencing many strange things myself, I was filled with inexplicable fear for this person who looked almost exactly like me. I seemed to see another me. The question was: why did this suddenly appear?

Coming alone?

Yang Zijiang brought back two sisters who were exactly like him, and I also met a woman who was exactly like me. This was certainly not a coincidence, and I would not be so stupid as to think that this was the so-called human cloning, and it was not a science fiction movie.

Not to mention that the current technology has not reached such a point, even if it does, there is no need to use ordinary people like me and Yang Zijiang for experiments. Cloning pigs and sheep can at least kill and eat meat, but cloning us is of no use at all.

No, Yang Zijiang is tall and muscular. People like me can really only be sold as ribs.

The more I thought about it, the more scared I became. The rustling footsteps behind me seemed to be clearer, almost right next to my ears. I even had a feeling that the woman was very close to me. I could even feel her breathing.

The temperature came out, but every time I turned around, I couldn't see anything. Maybe she turned behind me again at this moment.

While running like this, my speed inevitably dropped a bit, but fortunately the flashlights of the two people in front were still on. Although they could no longer see their figures clearly, they were not lost at last. After running forward for a while, I gradually felt that something was wrong.

The two of them seemed not to be running in the direction of the torches, but gradually running towards the outside of the village. At this moment, the flashlight in front stopped. The two lights were particularly eye-catching in the darkness, and the light behind them gradually caught up.

, Director Zhang should have stopped first, and then Shanshan caught up to him. I quickly quickened my pace and moved closer to them. I wanted to see what they were here for.

I quickly ran to the light, but my heart suddenly sank. There were no figures of Director Zhang and Shanshan in front of me at all. The light I saw was not from the flashlight, but floating in the sky.

The light in the sky is somewhat similar to the light of fireflies, but of course it is much brighter, otherwise I would not have mistakenly thought it was coming from a flashlight.

Those two lights were floating in the air. I was about to step forward and take a closer look. Suddenly, the light in front of my eyes dimmed and the two fires were immediately extinguished. Fortunately, my flashlight was always on, so I couldn't see everything in front of me clearly. I saw that the two groups of lights were naturally extinguished. They were not the lights emitted by any animals, but they suddenly and inexplicably disappeared. At that moment, my first reaction was two words: will-o’-wisps. .

The will-o'-the-wisp I'm talking about is of course not the thick green phosphorus fire we usually see in the wilderness. The will-o'-the-wisp in folklore is actually a spontaneous combustion phenomenon after the phosphorus in the bones of people and animals after death is converted into phosphine. , because of its light weight, as long as a person moves or talks, these phosphorus fires will float around you, like a ghost.

The two points of light I saw were not dark green, but similar to the white light emitted by a powerful flashlight, only slightly darker. Moreover, they were not floating around me, but were leading the way in front of me. I even I don’t know when Shanshan and Director Zhang disappeared. Now that I think about it, maybe I was too worried about the woman who looked exactly like me behind me, so I didn’t pay attention to the front and only saw The two lights kept following me stupidly, and then I watched them suddenly disappear before my eyes. It was all too incredible. I couldn't use a word to describe them except that they were will-o'-the-wisps.

There is still nothing in front of me, and strangely I feel that the woman who looks very similar to me is no longer here. This is a very strange feeling, completely unreasonable, but that’s what I believe. Since there is nothing here, I decided to go back the way I came, or simply look for the wedding teams, maybe I could find Director Zhang and Shanshan there.

I spit heavily towards the place where the light disappeared. This is our habit in the countryside. It is said that if you encounter something unclean, spit on it and then stomp on the ground a few times to ward off evil spirits. I have grown up listening to stories like this, and at this time, the ghosts and gods came into play. After everything was done, I woke up and thought: It seems that I really thought all this was a ghost.

At this moment, my body froze, and an idea suddenly popped up in my mind: If this is really a will-o'-the-wisp, if it's not that I didn't keep an eye on Director Zhang and Shanshan on the road, but these two people themselves are ghosts, then everything seems to be different. That makes sense.

I think of what Leng Yue told me to be careful about Shanshan. Shanshan was discovered by Yang Zijiang in Fengmen Village, and she looks exactly like him. If she is a ghost, then who is the woman who looks very similar to me? I What could it be? Could it be that I am also a ghost?

Cold sweats began to break out on my body. This was not the first time I had such strange thoughts. As early as in the hypnotic world, when I discovered the graves of my mother and my parents, I began to wonder if I was the one who did not exist. People in the world, later experiences made me give up this idea, but now I know that the story "Old House" is not a simple hypnosis, it contains a lot of information that I still can't understand, so this strange thought at this moment It came out of my heart again.
