Chapter 15

……

In an instant.

Huaiyou only felt the bone-chilling cold coming from the darkness in front of him.

The cold entered his body, and even his consciousness seemed to be frozen. Huaiyou subconsciously shivered, hugging his shoulders, actually wanting to just sleep like this.

His eyes gradually closed, even though he clearly knew that he couldn't close his eyes at this moment.

That woman had already walked over holding the child.

Everything around seemed very quiet, or rather, in his mind, he could only hear that extremely calm sound.

And the sound of footsteps one by one.

And that terrifying woman approaching...

Just when he felt his whole body losing sensation, he only heard Zhou Yanqing's extremely shrill, terrified scream from behind!

"Ah!"

A kind of extremely terrified sound that humans can only make when they are extremely afraid!

"Slap!" Huaiyou's eyes suddenly turned bloodshot.

Under extreme circumstances, he used his strength to slap himself hard in the face at that moment.

His right cheek instantly swelled up red, and at the same time, he bit his tongue hard, the bloody smell of fresh blood instantly filling his mouth.

His spirit finally cleared up a bit at that moment.

This was the only definitely effective method he could think of so far.

He could no longer care about the chaotic and blurry feeling in his body.

Huaiyou gritted his teeth.

He pulled Zhou Yanqing and ran toward the entrance. Zhou Yanqing's hands were ice cold, but Huaiyou still held them tightly, because he also knew that if he were a little slower.

The outcome would definitely not be good.

Then the two things behind would catch up.

At least so far, the two of them together had no means to truly confront the things behind.

In his peripheral vision, he caught a glimpse that although the child held by the woman walked very slowly.

But her speed was the same.

Soon, he pulled Zhou Yanqing to the entrance, which was naturally the place from the beginning; fortunately, the wooden ladder was still there.

"Hurry! There's no time! Those two things are catching up! Run!"

Zhou Yanqing was trembling all over from fear, but fortunately, she didn't drop the ball in the face of such an emergency, so her movements were still quite agile.

She quickly climbed down the wooden ladder, and within a few seconds, she had completely reached the bottom.

Just as she looked up at Huaiyou, she was stunned.

Because she saw two shadows gradually emerging in the darkness behind Huaiyou.

Getting clearer and clearer.

Huaiyou, at that moment, saw Zhou Yanqing completely reach the first floor.

Just as he was about to seize the time, he suddenly felt the surroundings turn chilly.

"Giggle giggle..."

That kind of giggling sound that seemed to ring from the depths of the soul.

It rang from behind his head!

"Ah!!"

A sharp pain came, instantly spreading through his whole body, and warm liquid sprayed out like it was free.

Huaiyou's clothes were instantly stained with color again.

He didn't even need to look back to know why!

Behind his back, his clothes had been ripped open by that woman!

It should have been her fingernails, but those fingernails felt sharper than a razor!

"Huaiyou!" Zhou Yanqing looked, the tears on her face already making her face a mess, looking dirty.

Her shouting didn't have any effect.

Huaiyou only felt intense pain all over his body, and even the painful feeling on his back hadn't dissipated yet, when he felt something else appear on his face.

It turned out that the boy had actually taken a step forward and pinched Huaiyou's nose and mouth; his hands were very small, but the strength was very great.

The child's hands were abnormally icy, carrying a thick bloody stench, and vaguely, there was even a weird gas appearing, looking like a product of another world.

At this moment, he was actually pressing Huaiyou down.

"Giggle giggle..."

The weird sound grew louder and louder, almost shattering Huaiyou's mind, even though he was maintaining a certain state.

Facing the situation before his eyes, no matter how he looked at it, it looked like a dead end!

The huge force on his face almost deformed his entire skull.

And behind him, he also felt that woman approaching; in his peripheral vision, a hand was swiping toward his neck.

"Ah ah ah ah!"

In a hurry, Huaiyou, under such desperate and terrifying stimulation, didn't give up hope for life, struggling and twisting with all his might.

But the opponent's strength was too strong; he looked like a child of only 10 years old, but those hands held him tightly there.

Huaiyou felt his skull was about to be crushed, and he had even begun to feel his face starting to deform bit by bit.

But soon, Huaiyou clearly felt the mask in his pocket, which at this moment seemed to be wriggling slowly as if it had a life of its own.

A kind of strange coldness felt like it was coming from his pocket.

A kind of inexplicable emotion seemed to be transmitted from that place, finally slowly converging into the sea like a river.

And the sea referred to Huaiyou's head.

Huaiyou clearly felt that this seemed to be his hope for survival.

Because at this moment, he clearly understood one thing: this thing actually had a certain effect on that girl when they were in the dormitory, so it was clearly what was called a "tool" existence.

It was definitely not a one-time item.

After using it before, it had been stuffed in his pocket, and he felt it had no reaction, and Huaiyou even tried to ignore the existence of the thing as much as possible.

Perhaps it had no movement before, just because the thing seemed to have some cooling-off time?

But in his heart, he actually knew that this thing could really save his life at a critical moment!

"Ah ah ah!" Huaiyou screamed shrilly, but his hand quickly reached into his pocket and pulled the mask out!

Now he only knew.

The situation no longer allowed him to think about the pros and cons.

If he didn't use this thing, he probably wouldn't even be able to reach the entrance, and his head would probably be crushed by that child!

Regardless of whether the thing had any side effects, regardless of how deep his inner resistance to the thing was, at this moment, it was useful and could save his life!

【Movie audience Huaiyou, 2nd time using the head mask.】

The phone vibrated slightly.

A message popped up.

But Huaiyou, at this moment, where would he have the time to look at that thing?

And just as the mask was pulled out of his pocket with force, because he didn't take it out consciously, the mask was pulled out and faced the air.

It instantly unfolded.

A complete head mask was completely exposed to the air.

No longer the folded-up look from the beginning.

As the thing appeared.

The air seemed to stop, and the darkness even seemed to shrink back violently.

That child instantly.

Seemed to feel very afraid, or like he had been electrocuted, he retracted his hands, no longer pressing on Huaiyou, the child's pitch-black pupils staring fixedly at the mask in Huaiyou's hand.

"Giggle giggle..."

That terrifying sound came again, only this time the sound was slightly low.

Huaiyou instantly felt his whole body relax.

He turned his head to look.

But he only saw that woman holding the child and walking into the shadows, seemingly giving up on the target.

Or perhaps it seemed like she was afraid.

Huaiyou only felt the movement around him gradually dissipate.

He panted at the entrance, only feeling an unprecedented sense of relaxation, perhaps a self-repair method of the body after extreme fear.

He had just felt a real sense of fear.

If he had been just a little slower, he might have died there.

"So this thing is used like this? Do I have to wear it every time?"

But soon.

Huaiyou only felt a chaos in his brain.

Like the feeling of having lost all energy after extreme exhaustion.

Subconsciously, Huaiyou, unable to control himself, saw everything go black and fell backward.

It wasn't that he was completely helpless.

Huaiyou's consciousness was still relatively clear.

He clearly knew that if he really fell from this height, he would probably die, or at least crack his head open.

This feeling was too strong, he could only try his best to control himself, not to fall headfirst, but to slide toward the wooden ladder as much as possible, at least in his thinking, there was still a chance for cushioning if he hit the surface.

At the last second, he felt himself fall, but he still successfully hit the wooden ladder.

His consciousness was already blurry.

The mask in his hand was still held tightly.

But strangely, when Huaiyou recalled it later, he himself couldn't be sure whether he was holding the mask.

Or the mask was holding him.

Finally, Huaiyou only heard Zhou Yanqing's exclamation, and finally, he couldn't control it.

His entire consciousness completely fell into chaos.

The mask.

That head mask, of unknown material, the expression on the mask's mouth seemed to have changed.

It turned into an indescribable weird smile.

But this change only lasted for an instant, and soon it disappeared, returning to the original look of the mask.
