Desperate Night.

Chapter 4 004 Danger (Thanks Gray Tombstone Silver)
This stone was able to injure the ghost in white, so it might be some kind of special item. Plus, it is small, so even if there is some movement, it would not be easily discovered.

Moreover, if it could be strengthened, Bai Shi would be more powerful and would be much safer when dealing with the previous ghost shadow.

Thinking of this, he picked up a white stone and looked at the stutterer.

"Can you give me one? Thank you for saving me just now! I will repay you."

He said seriously.

The little stutterer shook his head.

"This...is no longer useful." She explained. "If you want it, take it."

Yu Hong nodded, picked up the white stone and looked at it.

The stone was only the size of a thumbnail, and had a complex dark red symbol painted on its surface. It looked like a talisman from some religion. One-third of the stone had turned black, and no one knew why.

The stone feels cold to the touch, just like ice, chilling to the bone.

hiss.
Soon, a number appeared on the surface of the stone: 3 days.

Soon a thought emerged, and the black seal seemed to sense it, and a sound was quickly transmitted.

'Do you want to strengthen the target?'

Yu Hong put the Bai Shi in his trouser pocket.

Try to respond in your heart: Yes.

Just after he answered affirmatively, the black mark on the back of his hand felt slightly hot and then healed.

Immediately afterwards, Bai Shi felt a hot sensation in his trouser pocket, and then returned to normal.

The little stutterer beside him didn't react at all to Bai Shi's movements.

"Are you okay?" The little stutterer looked at him curiously and asked.

"Soon, it's going to be dark. We must prepare," she stammered.

"What are you preparing for?" Yu Hong asked. After the intense emotions and physical exertion just now, his already weak body began to return to normal due to the subsidence of hormones.

He was still in an inflamed and sick state, and just temporarily needed physical and mental strength to deal with the danger. Now that the danger was over, his body began to fight the virus and bacteria again.

The immune system begins to divide immune cells in large numbers again, and body temperature begins to rise again.

"At night. Monsters are dangerous," the little stutterer replied.

As she spoke, she glanced at the window. The sunlight coming through the cracks outside was getting dimmer and dimmer.

That kind of darkness was a little abnormal and happened too fast.

It was so fast that Yu Hong could feel with his naked eyes that the light was getting darker.

This strange phenomenon made him feel more and more anxious and critical.

Puff, pa, pa. Ding, ding, dong, dong.

The little stutterer took out a hammer from somewhere and started hammering the nails on the edges of the doors and windows, as if he was reinforcing the surroundings.

The door was locked with thick chains from the inside and three horizontal bolts were lowered.

Each bolt was as thick as an arm, and the contact surface between the bolt and the door had long been rubbed smooth, and it was obvious that this was not the first time.

The light is getting dimmer and dimmer.

Yu Hong stood blankly in the room for a while, but soon he reacted and tried to help check the gap for safety issues.

But because he was completely unfamiliar with the environment, the stutterer soon thought he was in the way and pushed him back to sit on the bed.

"Don't make trouble." The little stutterer said seriously. After that, he crawled under the bed again and brought out a large black cloth bag.

The bag was opened, and it was filled with densely packed white stones. She began to find a red pen, picked up the white stones one by one, and carefully wrote red symbols on them.

"So she drew all these red symbols herself?" Yu Hong looked at this scene with a look of sudden realization.

Eh~~~Eh~~~~
Suddenly, a very weak, shrill, opera-like female voice came faintly from outside the house.

The voice rose and fell, and was gentle and strange, like crying, but also like a performance, with a strange feeling of half truth and half false.

pat.

The little stutterer at the side obviously heard the sound. He quickly grabbed a few white stones and stuffed them into Yu Hong's hands. Then he picked up a yellow candle in the corner, rubbed it with something like a magnesium rod to light it, and then held the candle and stared at the doors and windows nervously.

Yu Hong stood behind her and found that the candle was extremely thick, as thick as an egg.

"Here it comes." The little stutterer suddenly said.

At this time, Yu Hong also noticed that the light outside the window had completely disappeared.

Only an indissoluble black remained, seeping in from the outside.

Is it night already? How come it happened so quickly?
He wanted to speak, but suddenly he felt dizzy and his consciousness was constantly impacted. His body was getting hotter and hotter, and he thought he might have a fever, and his throat was getting more and more painful.

He needs to drink water and take medicine. Antipyretic medicine
Otherwise, the situation may be bad.

He knew his situation. He had felt the same way when he was sick with a cold or fever and it got serious.

Also, the last time he had a fever of 39 degrees, he wasn’t as weak as he is now. It’s very likely that he was too frightened before.

Sitting on the edge of the bed, he tried his best to hold Bai Shi tightly, staring at the door and windows nervously with eyes wide open.

Inside the room, both of them were silent, waiting.

For a moment, the only sounds in the air were the two people's breathing and heartbeats.

This situation did not last long.

pat.

Finally, a slight noise came from outside the door.

"Here it comes!" the little stutterer shouted.

Her body tensed up, the muscles on her arms clearly visible, and she held up a thick candle high in her right hand, allowing the flame to form a circle that covered as much of the room as possible.

Yu Hong was also watching nervously behind her.

He didn't know what was going to happen, but judging from his stuttering reaction, something bad was likely to happen.
After all, even the white shadow just now hadn't made her so nervous.

Soon, their wait finally paid off.

In the darkness, outside the doors and windows, there began to be the rustling sound of insects crawling. The sound was extremely sudden and extremely dense, like a sudden arrival from a silent cave into a noisy desert.

The sand kept flowing across the doors and windows of the house, making a slight sound.

Soon, Yu Hong opened his eyes wide and saw the gaps in the doors and windows. In the gaps that were less than one centimeter, small black bugs actually crawled in.

The densely packed little bugs were like sand, with at least hundreds or even thousands of them crawling in at once.

Each of them is only the size of an ant, like a beetle, with an oval shell on its back, a ferocious centipede-like mouthpart on its head, no eyes, and more than ten pairs of legs and feet.

Overall, it looks like a shortened black millipede.

Dense swarms of insects quickly swarmed into the house, making tiny noises as they crawled. The shrill female voice that was faintly visible in the air also got closer and closer, becoming clearer and clearer.

"Get out!" the little stutterer yelled, but strangely he stood in the middle of the room holding the candle motionless, just roaring.

Yu Hong sat on the edge of the bed and wanted to get up to help, but his weak body did not have much strength left.

He was sweating on his vest, but the sweat was quickly evaporated by his high body temperature.

Looking at the black bugs that kept crawling into the house through the cracks, his whole body tensed up and trembled.

The horrifying scene of bugs crawling all over my body and tearing my flesh apart kept appearing in my mind.

This is an instinctive human fear that cannot be suppressed.

But that's it.

hiss.
The fastest group of black insects came in and entered the range of candlelight.

And at this moment, something unexpected happened.

These extremely scary-looking black bugs actually dissolved quickly under the pale yellow light of the candle, turning into black smoke and evaporating away.

Dense wisps of black smoke rose up, all of which were the result of the dissolving black insects.

They were like pieces of wax melted by flames, and seemed to have no idea of ​​retreating, and still rushed madly towards the little stutterer holding the candle.

Soon, the black bugs that came in from the doors and windows formed a circle with the little stutterer as the center, constantly approaching, dissolving, and then evaporating.

Black smoke rose up and quickly dissipated in the air, turning into a choking and unpleasant smell.

Yu Hong looked at this scene, shock unconsciously revealed on his face.

He searched through all the knowledge and information in his mind, but could not think of any kind of insect that would automatically dissolve into black smoke when exposed to light.

The strange scene before his eyes had completely shattered all his previous speculations and imaginations.

monster.

Suddenly, a word that the middle-aged doctor Xu had said before came into his mind again.

Yes, monster.

Aren’t these black bugs in front of us real monsters?
They are like the tide, endless, but they dissolve and disappear when hit by the light.

For a moment, Yu Hong fell into an indescribable state of stagnation of consciousness. He carefully observed the black insects and the candles, trying to find any false flaws in them.

Occasionally, I would pinch my thigh hard to let the pain clear my brain and prove that what I saw was not a dream.

But a series of actions have proved that these are all true, not false, and certainly not dreams.

Moreover, he noticed one more thing.

As the black bugs dissolved, the thick candle in the little stammerer's hand, which should have been used for a long time, quickly dissolved and disappeared due to the attack of the black bugs.

As if to fight against these black bugs, the heat of the candle was consumed very quickly.

Time just passed in this stalemate.

ten minutes.

half an hour.

One hour.

Two hours.
The two of them remained in this state without moving.

The candle in the stuttering boy's hand quickly shortened from the length of his forearm to the length of his palm.

Ah!
Suddenly Yu Hong jumped up, turned around, reached out and grabbed a black insect from behind him and pulled it out.

The black insect turned into black smoke when exposed to the light.

But he reached out and touched his butt.

There was an insect bite on the left side of his buttock, and the blood immediately soaked through the waistband of his pants. It was obvious that the wound was quite big.

As if attracted by the blood, the surrounding black insects became more agitated and began to rush towards Yu Hong frantically.

But the candle light still firmly blocked them, turning them all into black smoke.

Yu Hong covered his butt and simply walked over with difficulty, standing next to the little stutterer, just watching the scene.

Looking at the surrounding halo, circles of black insects continued to dissolve, evaporate, and turn into black smoke.

This bizarre and dangerous scene, like a meteorite, continuously tore his originally complete worldview into pieces.

Don't know how long it has been.

Finally, the shrill female voice that was faintly heard in the air gradually disappeared and faded away.

As the sound faded away, the black bugs that had crawled into the house began to thin out.

A ray of light slowly shines in from the gap between the doors and windows.

at last.

Finally, some black insects were covered by the light, struggling to dissolve and turned into black smoke.

Everything returned to complete calm.
