Alien Dust

Chapter 2 Hush! Keep quiet

……

It’s like the soul has traveled to another world.

Quiet!

The ultimate quietness!
What came into view was clearly a rain forest, and as far as the eye could see there was a desolate town extending towards a cliff, but Wu Hen could not hear any sound.

There were no insects chirping or birds singing, and the rainforest behind and the cliff town in front were also eerily silent. This made Wu Hen, who had just entered this world, feel extremely weird!

Wu Hen looked around and found himself not far from the town, in a dilapidated brick house.

There was a bonfire in the middle of the brick house.

There are two people beside me.

They were like homeless people, keeping warm by the campfire. When they saw Wu Hen waking up, they all gave him strange looks.

Wu Hen felt that the atmosphere was a bit weird. He was about to move forward when suddenly the dirty little girl next to him made a gesture to stop and pointed at his feet.

Wu Hen looked down and discovered broken glass all over the ground under his feet.

It was so quiet around that Wu Hen felt that making the slightest noise would be abnormal.

At this time, the dirty little girl and the homeless man put their fingers to their lips and made a gesture of silence, signaling Wu Hen not to speak.

Wu Hen was very perceptive and immediately realized that there must be something outside!
"crunch~~~"

I don't know who it was, but someone stepped on a can while walking, and the can immediately exploded with a sharp sound!

It was a drunk man, not far from the house.

The drunk stood there, his whole body was frozen, and his eyes were full of fear!
It was clearly a can that I stepped on, but it felt like I stepped on a landmine.

The drunkard's alcohol faded and his face turned pale!
“Eww!!”

The next second, a cry resounded throughout the rainforest town!

Wu Hen's pupils widened, and his hair stood on end:
An evil monster with ears like trumpets and a mouth like a devil jumped out and instantly appeared in front of the drunk!

Its sickle-like claws were hanging on the drunkard's neck!
"Crack!"

In the blink of an eye, the drunkard's head was cut off!

The blood gushed out like a column, spraying out indiscriminately.

And the head rolled right towards the dilapidated house where Wu Hen was.

Wu Hen could still see the fear in the drunkard's eyes that was frozen at the moment of death!

Cut off the head!

Wu Hen, who lived in the city, saw such a bloody scene for the first time and immediately felt his stomach churning.

He almost vomited!

The visual impact was too strong. Wu Hen pursed his lips tightly, letting the stomach acid rush into his throat, and then forced himself to swallow it.

The girl next to him kept making gestures to Wu Hen to keep quiet, and was also warning Wu Hen not to make any sound!

"Goo~"

The head-cutting monster's trumpet-like ears moved a little, as if it sensed the movements of other living people.

It turned around and slowly approached Wu Hen's house.

Just as it reached the gate, the head-cutting evil ghost suddenly stopped, but its morning glory-like ears actually poked out from under its head and searched for something like tentacles.

This picture is like a demon doctor with strange stethoscope ears, using a stethoscope to explore the movements in this house! !
The long trumpet-shaped ears had completely entered the house, and seemed to hear someone's heavy breathing, so the trumpet-shaped ears slowly stretched towards the homeless man!
The homeless man's whole body was tense, and cold sweat oozed from his pores, soaking his neck.

He didn't dare to move and even held his breath, because the tramp knew that any slight sound would result in death, and his fate would be the same as that of the drunkard who had been beheaded just now!
His breath was held, and there was no more breathing sound. However, the stethoscope-like trumpet ear did not leave the homeless man's body, but slowly slid down to his chest.

"Dong~dong~"

"Boom~Boom~Boom~Boom~"

He held his breath, but his heartbeat was speeding up! !

But the stethoscope ear was firmly attached to his chest, right at the position of his heart! !
"BOOM BOO ...

The homeless man's heart couldn't stop beating wildly!
Just at this moment, the head-cutting evil ghost crawled over along his stretched ear!

“BOOM BOO ...

As if feeling that he was exposed, the homeless man's heart beat faster and faster!
"Bang bang bang bang bang!!!"

Finally, the heart rate reached a certain critical point and the sound frequency changed!

"Crack!!!"

The two sickle-like claws swung out at the same time! Sharp and swift!
The tramp's head was cut off!

It was like a watermelon, and a lot of blood was spilled out.

The homeless man fell limply, blood gushing from his neck and flowing all over the ground.

Dead, the tramp was also killed, even if he didn't make any sound himself, he still couldn't escape death!
Such a horrifying scene is just around the corner.

The frozen Wu Hen tried to control every muscle in his body, but he still couldn't resist the numbness and chill that attacked his entire body!
"Don't make any sound!" Wu Hen warned himself in his heart.

"If you get close enough and your heart beats to a certain level, this evil ghost will hear it!!"

The question is, in this situation, how can people ensure that their hearts do not beat wildly? ! !

No one in their right mind could do this!
"Gu~" the auscultatory ear began to move again.

The head-cutting evil ghost slowly turned around and faced Wu Hen.

Its movable ears reached out again like an octopus's claws.

Still pressed against Wu Hen's chest...

Then slowly adsorb it to the heart position!

“Boom boom boom!!!!!”

Wu Hen's heart immediately started beating faster, and he realized that his fate would be the same as those two people just now.

Yes, I had only been in the Desolate Dust for less than five minutes and I was about to die! !

Why is a virtual game so real and terrifying that Wu Hen feels that the current situation is really happening. The fear of human instinct is irresistible and is destroying every nerve in his body! !

He wanted to scream!
He was hysterical inside!
He wanted to release his survival instinct and escape desperately!

He wanted to take off the helmet and return to reality immediately!
But how to take it off?

How to exit?

There is no way to quit, which only adds to the despair!
Wu Hen's spirit has hit rock bottom.

But it was this kind of bottoming out that made Wu Hen's survival instinct feed back a bit of calmness and rationality! !
"This head-cutting evil ghost didn't execute the homeless man immediately after putting his ear to his heart. Instead, he listened to his heart for a while..."

"It's not because if it hears the sound of your heartbeat, you'll die."

"It's that the heart rate spikes to a certain level, and the thumping of the atria exceeds a certain volume."

"There is a heart rate boundary between life and death. As long as the sound of your heart does not exceed this boundary, you have a chance of survival!"

To calm down, you must calm down!

Let that damn heart rate drop and never let the instinct of fear take over you!

This is a virtual game, none of this is real.

I can't die, even if this is virtual, I can't die here!

Don't be nervous, don't be afraid, and don't collapse!
all fake!

It's just a game!
I am now lying on my bed at home, but I entered here wearing a virtual helmet. Everything I see at this moment is no different from the nightmare I created when I was sleeping!
It's just a nightmare!
“Dongdongdong~~~~~”

After calming down, Wu Hen could clearly hear his own heartbeat.

Wu Hen kept giving himself mental reminders. "Dongdong~~Dongdong~~"

Wu Hen's heart rate finally slowly dropped.

effective!
Then, he closed his eyes tightly, forcing himself not to think about the scene he had just seen, but to imagine himself lying on his bed...

To hypnotize, you must hypnotize yourself.

Hypnotize yourself to calm down.

"Dong~Dong~Dong~Dong~"

Hypnosis worked, my heart rate really stabilized!
The greasy ear was moving slowly near Wu Hen's heart, like a hunter waiting for the heart to jump out.

But the heart inside was becoming more and more stable, and the sounds it made were becoming softer and softer.

It lasted for another minute or two, and finally, the ear that was attached to his chest softened.

The ear quickly retracted back to the head of the head-cutting evil spirit.

“Eww!!”

Like the strange cry of the giant salamander, the head-cutting evil ghost turned around and left like a hunter who failed to find his food.

It walked out of the dilapidated house, and its hideous and disgusting body slowly merged with the dilapidated vegetation, like a chameleon...

Soon, it disappeared, and only its outline could be vaguely seen walking towards the distance.

After a while, even the outline could not be seen.

Eventually, it completely disappeared in the rainforest town - as if looking for its next prey.

……

The Great Terror was finally over.

Wu Hen's whole body was soaked with cold sweat.

My legs were shaking uncontrollably.

Although hypnosis did play a big role and allowed him to survive, the aftermath of fear that followed made his body somewhat unstable!
It was unknown how long it took before Wu Hen slowly calmed down.

Wu Hen's eyes fell on the girl who reminded him not to make any sound at the beginning.

He has a lot of questions in his mind now.

But how can we communicate if we can’t speak?
After thinking for a while, Wu Hen squatted down and wrote gently on the dirty ground.

"Sister, are you a player too?" Wu Hen asked while writing.

The girl also squatted down, and looked at Wu Hen closely with her beautiful and bright eyes, sizing him up with some curiosity.

But the girl did not write. Instead, she said, "It's okay, brother. You can talk now. That guy won't come again."

This was Wu Hen's first time entering here and he knew nothing about it.

Wu Hen had a good impression of this girl who showed kindness to him from the very beginning, and he trusted her.

He nodded.

Just when he was about to speak to her subconsciously, a hint of vigilance flashed through Wu Hen's mind.

Why didn't the monster use his ears to listen to the girl's heart?
There were only three of them in the room, and there was a drunk outside.

The drunkard died, the homeless man also died, and I even had a close call with death. What about this girl?
"You can really speak now. If I hadn't told you not to make any sound at the beginning, you would have been the first one to die." The girl naturally saw Wu Hen's distrust, and a hint of grievance appeared on her face.

Seeing the girl like this, Wu Hen forced out an apologetic smile.

Then, Wu Hen used his finger to write a line of words on the dust on the ground again: "Sorry, I am a mute in real life."

"Mute???" The girl was obviously stunned and looked at Wu Hen for a long time.

"My vocal cords have been damaged since I was a child and I can't make any sound. I know sign language. If you don't believe me, just look at it," Wu Hen continued.

After writing, Wu Hen performed sign language for the girl, and it was very professional sign language.

When the girl saw Wu Hen using sign language, she frowned at first, and then suddenly burst into laughter!!

“Cough cough cough cough~~~~~~”

The girl's laughter was extremely sharp. She didn't sound like a normal person at all. She looked more like a lunatic in a mental hospital!

In an instant, the girl's face became extremely gloomy!

She waved her hands towards the air.

Then I saw a silhouette slowly appearing next to the girl. As the silhouette became clearer, an evil creature with trumpet ears and sickle claws appeared from the air! !
It was that terrifying head-cutting evil spirit!!
It didn't go away at all!!
It's just hiding here!

What made Wu Hen's scalp tingle and suffocate with horror was,

The head-cutting evil ghost was squatting beside the girl at this moment. The girl was stroking the evil ghost with her hand - like a pet raised by the girl!

"How boring! A mute came and I thought I could harvest another living person!" the girl said coldly.

After saying that, the girl suddenly jumped up, and then the lower half of her body actually grew onto the back of the head-cutting evil ghost!

When Wu Hen saw this scene, his eyes almost popped out.

The girl was wearing a big skirt and was motionless. Wu Hen didn’t realize that her lower half of the body was like roots!!!
She is not a human being at all!!

(Uncle Luan: After writing Shadow of the Solar Eclipse, I fell seriously ill. I could clearly feel that I was getting old and my body was in a mess. I even wondered if I would be like Ji Yun, because my heart was really beating fast and my body was completely out of balance...

I knew there would be a day when I would collapse and no longer be able to create for you, but I didn’t expect that day to come so soon…

Fortunately, God was just giving me a warning. I was just living an unhealthy life and was too isolated.

I am really fortunate. After all, I still have too many passionate stories in my mind, and my inspiration and ideas are still pouring out. I am afraid that those stories may not be finished in 20 or 30 years, but I still want to continue writing.

If you want to continue writing, you must adjust your physical and mental health, otherwise the next emergency may not be a warning.

So in the past six months, I lost weight.

From 160 kg to 140 kg.

I exercise, play badminton to stretch my muscles, and practice freestyle swimming to maintain aerobic exercise.

Give up heavy flavors and force yourself to eat light food.

I don’t allow myself to be electronically impotent, and I don’t allow myself to lose interest in anything. As a man who has written “League of Legends: Who’s the Contender”, e-sports is my favorite thing besides novels. I must keep my heart in e-sports, which is faith!
Then, I spent a month playing the solo Shura in Naraka: Bladepoint, competing with those anchors and professional players in terms of skills!
My family noticed that I was becoming more and more withdrawn. Due to the nature of my job, I basically didn’t communicate with anyone.

So I started live streaming and communicated with readers and authors every day, just like chatting with old friends after work, allowing myself to return to my cheerful and active nature.

From my communication with you all these days, I know that your favorite work of mine is "Full-time Magister", and I also understand that you all want me to continue writing it.

The subject matter of my creations has always been very wide-ranging, including the five types of spiritual roots in the online literature world. But after I finished writing Western fantasy novels, if I didn’t challenge myself, there would be no unique "Chong Mei".

If I had finished writing the Beast Taming Style at that time and didn't challenge myself, there would not be the youthful and passionate e-sports article "Who Can Compete with Me in League of Legends".

If I had finished writing about e-sports and didn't challenge myself, there would be no "Versatile Mage" in the urban fantasy genre that you all miss so much.

Whatever you want to write, you have to write it!
So I also challenged the unique and bizarre oriental fantasy "Dragon Shepherd", and the realistic suspense "Shadow of the Solar Eclipse" that decodes time and space.

In the past six months, I have made so many changes just to allow myself to continue writing and to show everyone these heart-stirring stories that burst out of my mind!

Writing novels, writing the novels that I want to write, is the original motivation for me to embark on this path.

If you like any of my past works, please continue to support me. The works you like were created through the joint efforts of you and me.

During the live broadcast, a reader asked me which work I was most satisfied with.
In my heart, what I am most satisfied with is always the next book.

Thank you for your continued support for Such Fish's Sky, Such Chaos.

The new book that is setting sail this time is "Astronauts".

Hope you like it.

At the same time, we really need your support!
