Darkness, heaviness, silence, pain, and an unspeakable feeling of weakness.
He didn't know where he was. He only felt that the surroundings were dark and he couldn't see anything clearly. His body seemed to be weightless, sinking and sinking, as if he was in an abyss and could never reach the bottom.
He tried to stretch out his hand, but couldn't grab anything. It was as if he and this darkness were one, formless and insubstantial, always sinking here.
I don’t know how long it has passed, it seems like an eternity, but it also seems like a moment.
There was no concept of time and space in the darkness, but he could feel that time seemed to have passed for a long time.
As time went by, the pain and weakness in his body continued to disappear, which made the darkness around him no longer deep, and there was more light in the distance.
In the light, an endless path appeared, so narrow that only one person could pass. On both sides were rows of black tombstones without words. They were connected like silent people, watching everything on the road coldly.
.
The man wanted to get closer, but he couldn't move. After a while, a sound suddenly appeared in the long-lasting darkness——
It was a burst of soft footsteps, which seemed to come from a distant path. It became clearer and clearer from far away.
He couldn't get close and couldn't see clearly, so he had to try hard to keep his eyes open, even if his eyelids were extremely heavy and his eye sockets seemed to burst.
...because he wanted to see clearly.
Suddenly, the surrounding darkness dispersed like a tide.
The dazzling light made him squint his eyes. He stared blankly at the girl with the same dull look in front of him, looking at each other speechlessly.
"Brother, he's awake!"
As if she just realized what she was doing, the girl holding the soup bowl first exclaimed, and then shouted excitedly.
Not long after, there was a sound of soft footsteps outside the door, which surprisingly sounded familiar.
Bai Mo was slightly startled. Was it actually the footsteps he heard in his sleep just now?
It was also at this time that he began to care about his current situation.
He was lying on a small bed, with a low earth and stone wall above his head, only two meters above the ground, giving people a feeling of depression.
Several cracks in the roof are very conspicuous, and the surrounding earth and stone are of different colors. It seems that it has been patched many times with new soil, so it looks quite mottled.
Looking at it, the whole room is extremely cramped, but it is very tidy. Even the unpaved dirt floor is also the same. It is spotless and it is obviously cleaned frequently.
"It's worse than the environment in my cemetery."
Bai Mo made this evaluation in his heart.
The only thing worth paying attention to is the luminous crystals in the room, which makes the whole room as bright as day even without lights.
While Bai Mo was observing, a man hurriedly came to the room.
He was very tall and strong, so he had to bend down and lower his head when entering the room, otherwise it would be difficult not to hit the roof.
"Real awakening and false awakening, shouldn't you be wrong again this time?"
The man came to the white ink bed muttering, with reservations, as if he didn't believe what the girl just said.
"Just woke up!" The girl snorted and said dissatisfied, "If you don't believe me, see for yourself!"
The man looked at Bai Mo on the bed.
Bai Mo turned his head to look at him.
"Holy shit, I'm really awake, not bad." The man was stunned for a moment, and then said excitedly, as if he was very excited.
"You still don't believe me."
The girl who looked dissatisfied just now raised her eyebrows, and then showed a bright smile, seeming to be very happy about Bai Mo's awakening.
"A kind-hearted brother and sister."
Bai Mo made another evaluation in his mind.
He wanted to speak, but found that his lips were extremely dry. The girl seemed to notice this and quickly put the soup bowl in her hand to his mouth and drank it down.
Bai Mo didn't have time to open his mouth, the liquid immediately flowed down the corners of his mouth and got everywhere.
"ah!"
The girl screamed and shrank her neck in embarrassment.
"Clumsy."
The man slapped his forehead, grabbed the soup bowl and carefully fed it into Bai Mo's mouth.
The girl's face turned red, but she still stuck out her tongue at him unconvinced, and then found a cloth to wipe off the soup on Bai Mo's face, but was stopped by Bai Mo, who wiped off the soup himself.
"Brother, how do you feel?"
After a moment, the man asked with concern.
This bowl of soup seemed to be extraordinary. It had the power to soothe the body and mind. Bai Mo thoughtfully replied: "It's very good, thank you."
"How is your body recovering? You were seriously injured when I found you. You should be better now, right?" the man continued to ask.
"Well, that's almost good."
In fact, the recovery Bai Mo mentioned was only a physical recovery, and it was actually far from a complete recovery.
He believes that most of his current power is in a state of exhaustion, whether it is his own power or his wordless characteristics, and the loss of power means that he is now almost the same as an ordinary person.
The man's eyes lit up, and he seemed to be very happy with Bai Mo's recovery, and suggested: "Why don't you get up and take a few steps?"
Bai Mo didn't know why he was so excited, but he nodded and got up from the bed.
It was also at this time that he realized that the clothes he was wearing had been changed, probably by the brother and sister during the care process.
Although his strength was temporarily lost, walking was still no problem. Bai Mo's steps were steady, which made the man more and more satisfied.
The girl seemed very happy too.
In response, Bai Mo raised his eyebrows slightly, and then said: "Thank you for saving me, but can you tell me when and where you saved me?"
The man said without thinking: "There is a path from here to Hansheng Mine. That's where I found you... It didn't take long, probably half a month ago."
Bai Mo thought for a while, his memory was a little blank, and then asked: "Was there anything around me at that time?"
"Yes, a strange candle."
The girl spoke out, rummaging in the box behind her for a while, then took out a candle and handed it to Bai Mo.
"This candle is weird. At first we thought it was a rare treasure, but it has no power at all. It feels a bit like a handicraft."
The man gave her a look and signaled her not to say anything more.
Bai Mo took the Life and Death Candle, and sure enough he couldn't feel any power fluctuations from it, and fell silent immediately.
The man seemed to notice that he was not in a good mood, so he smiled and said: "My name is Zhang Tao, and this is my sister Zhang Rouzhu. You must be very hungry when you just woke up, and dinner has just been prepared, so I will bring it to you."
"Thank you, my name is Bai...Baiwu."
Bai Mo put the life and death candle away and expressed his thanks again.
"Thank you for what? The world is so chaotic nowadays, everyone has to take care of each other."
Zhang Tao smiled and turned to leave.
However, at this moment, there was a sudden strange noise outside the house. Zhang Tao listened carefully, and his expression suddenly changed. Zhang Rouzhu looked even more horrified, and quickly shrank behind Zhang Tao, trembling all over.
Bai Mo was about to ask, but Zhang Tao covered his mouth and shook his head at him with a solemn expression, indicating that he must not speak.
It wasn't until Bai Mo nodded that Zhang Tao let go of his hand.
Immediately afterwards, he closed the door softly, pasted a few charms on the door, and then made a few quick gestures. The luminous crystals in the room suddenly lost their light, and the surrounding area was dark.
It can be seen that his movements are quite skillful and can be said to be done in one go. He has obviously done similar things many times.
"Brother Bai, don't make a sound no matter what happens later, you know?" Not long after, Zhang Tao's voice, which he tried to suppress, sounded in the darkness, "This is a matter of life and death for all of us, so we must be careful."
Although he took deep breaths repeatedly, he could not hide the panic in his words.
Immediately afterwards, Zhang Tao handed Bai Mo a charm and asked him to put it on his head to cover his breath.
Bai Mo glanced at the talisman. Although he knew that there was no extraordinary power in this talisman, he still chose to do it in order to make the brother and sister feel at ease.
——Although these two people can't see anything now.
This level of darkness was not enough to block Bai Mo's sight, so he could see the fearful expressions of Zhang Tao and Zhang Rouzhu at this time. The girl seemed to want to swallow her saliva, but she seemed to be worried that she would make a sound, so she could only endure it with all her strength.
.
Gradually, there was a strange friction sound outside the door. It was different in severity and sounded a bit like the sound of an animal crawling.
The voice moved from far to near, seeming to be slowly patrolling the surroundings.
The brother and sister held their breaths. According to past experience, the owner of this footsteps would not stop outside the house. If the prey could not be found, it would soon go away...as usual.
However, in the next second, something horrified the two of them happened -
The crawling sound suddenly stopped!
What's even more frightening is that the crawling sound stopped for about two seconds and then started to sound again, and the sound kept getting louder, from far to near, and it was obviously heading towards the house where everyone was hiding!
"How is that possible!"
The two of them were shocked, but they didn't even dare to express their anger, and they didn't even dare to remind Bai Mo next to him to keep quiet for fear of being heard by the monster outside the door.
They could only keep praying that this guy would be brave enough and not yell later.
The crawling sound lingered outside the door, and the two knew that the monster was looking for the door.
"Crunch——"
Soon, there was a harsh sound of the door opening, followed by a heavy breathing, as if something entered the room.
Its breathing was extremely heavy, but its crawling speed was extremely slow, as if it was climbing on the hearts of Zhang Tao and Zhang Tao, and seemed to be searching every inch of the room.
Zhang Tao only felt that the days were like years. This feeling of suffering in fear was very uncomfortable, but he could only endure it and did not dare to make any sound——
Even though the heavy breathing sound was already in front of him, it was only a few centimeters away from him.
At the same time, Bai Mo calmly looked at the monster that appeared in the room.
This is a spider monster with a human head on its back. The human head is covered with thick dirty hair. It can be seen that it rarely stays up late. Then it is just a row of fine eyes, with two small nostrils and a mouth underneath.
Rows of eyes were tightly closed, seemingly not intending to open. The monster's body kept squirming in front of Zhang Tao, touching it from time to time, as if it was just teasing the prey.
Bai Mo realized that the monster had actually "seen" Zhang Tao and was just tasting fear at this time.
Immediately afterwards, the monster observed Zhang Rouzhu for a long time, until the other person showed enough fear, then it was satisfied and crawled to Bai Mo again.
However, what surprised him was that no matter how he threatened, adjusted his breathing, or even put his paws on the opponent's face, he could not scare the prey.
It seemed that the monster's rare interest was aroused. A ferocious smile suddenly appeared on the corner of its mouth. On the face behind it, rows of eyes suddenly opened!
However, in the next second, the ferocious smile on the person's face instantly solidified.
"Gulu..."
Suddenly there was a loud swallowing sound in the room. It was so loud that Zhang Tao brother and sister suddenly felt a sudden shock in their hearts. They sighed that Bai Wu could not bear the pressure after all and made a sound.
In this case, I'm afraid I have to make the best plan...
However, they didn't know that the sound used to cover up their fear did not come from Bai Mo, but from the monster they had always been afraid of.
In the darkness, a man and a spider looked at each other.
Both sides stared at each other, and the atmosphere was quite strange.
Suddenly, the eyes on the human face that only saw the spider suddenly widened, as if they had lost all focus, and then looked around blankly, with empty eyes and no expression.
Seeing that this was not enough, it quickly stretched out one of its forelimbs and waved it in front of its eyes. Then its expression suddenly became extremely frightened, and it was spinning wildly on the spot, as if it was difficult to accept the reality.
This complicated sound frightened the Zhang Tao brothers and sisters.
They don't know that the monster's Oscar-winning acting skills are just to explain one thing -
