Chapter 718 New
From the bridge of the nose, the flesh on the girl's face had withered and shriveled, like burning charcoal, turning into a rustling ashes, and it would fall a lot when it moved. The most serious burn was the mouth, which had become a huge hole. It led straight to the throat.
The girl put the corpse worm into the place where it was supposed to be her mouth, and then she opened her mouth wide and bit the corpse worm. The corpse worm twisted twice, and then it broke into two pieces with a slight sound. The yellow sticky juice flowed down the girl's charred jaw. The girl bit the worm one after another, and the biting movement was very strong. Her pretty eyes stared at me, and the creaking sound kept coming from her mouth.
The sound was not because of biting the insect, but because of the rubbing of her jaw. When the girl bit the insect hard again, her broken jaw was finally overwhelmed and broke with a click. The half of her head fell off the girl's face, then bounced on the ground and landed next to me.
The girl stretched out her hand to come and take back the half of her head. When she moved, half of her legs were exposed under her clothes. Although the legs were not burned, they were already highly decayed and turned black green. There were holes on it, and insects were in and out from time to time. Those corpse worms grew from the girl's body...
It seems that this girl has been dead for a long time. I turned around and wanted to ask the couple, but found that they didn't notice the girl at all. They couldn't see her...
At this time, the sky gradually began to darken, and I saw the people gathered beside me and became more and more excited. They were holding torches in their hands. The fire was flashing and dark, and it was particularly strange. The leader was the man who had just ordered me to be captured. He shouted: "Burn this damn spy to death!" The couple was almost scared when they heard the man say this.
"We are not spies! The spy is He Hui's father, it has nothing to do with us. Give us your life, let's go!" The man said, shaking his body violently, as if he wanted to break free from the bondage of the rope. But obviously the rope was very strong and he could not break free. He Hui? Could it be that girl's name?
I was confused by these people. I saw that the torches in the hands of the group had already been thrown over. There was a lot of firewood piled up under the stone platform, and there was a pungent smell of oil on it. The torches in the hands of the townsmen were thrown on the firewood, and the fire burned quickly with the momentum of oil, and the stone platform became hot in an instant.
My feet were almost scalded by the stone platform! The couple kept screaming. I suddenly heard a sneer. When I turned around, I saw that it was the girl! Her body trembled, and her laughter kept rising. Finally, the voice was so shrill that it was almost as if it was screaming against the eardrums of a person. I couldn't stand it, and my scalp was numbed by the sound.
At this moment, I saw the flames under the stone platform start to burn wildly. It was no longer the degree to which the firewood could burn. I was stunned. The flames rushed up to the stone platform, and the flames kept licking the stone platform and the surrounding townsmen. The townsmen were still raising their arms and shouting there at first, but later when they realized something was wrong, the flames were already uncontrollable.
The fire quickly swallowed everything around. The entire town started from the center of the town and was gradually eaten up by the fire. People were almost inseparable. The only way to live in the city to connect the outside world was the city gate. All the townsmen rushed over with the gate, and the door was quickly broken under the impact of people, but even though the door had been broken, people still couldn't get out!
It was like an invisible wall that separates the only way to live.
In the midst of the sorrow, people were swept into the depths of hell by the tongues. I stood on the stone platform and witnessed all this, but there was no way. I was in the middle of the flame, and I saw a piece of fiery red flames in front of me, mixed with some "people" who had almost been burned by the flames and lost their human form. Under the high temperature, their skin fell from their bodies layer by layer, and huge blisters swelled one by one and broke.
My body was also filled with severe pain. Could it be that Jinchao was just here? Although I was a little unwilling, I was powerless. I don’t know how long the fire in the sky had been burning, and my ears were filled with people’s wailings and He Hui’s giggles... Just as my consciousness gradually left my body and floated in the sky, the life and death pen on my waist suddenly shook violently.
The pen holder was tightly pressed against my waist, and its shaking made my mind that was approaching to escape and returned to my body. The burning sensation of the fire around me gradually faded, and it seemed that someone was calling my name in the dark.
I opened my eyes and found that I was still in a town! And there was no trace of being burned by the fire around me, but the people on the street were gone just now, and the street was empty, just like when I first entered the city. Suddenly, a figure rushed into my arms. I looked down and saw that it was the little girl named He Hui!
The pungent stench on He Hui made me faint almost faint again. I was now exhausted and I didn’t even have the strength to pull out the life and death pen that stopped on my waist. If she wanted to harm me now, I would have no strength to fight back. While I was staring at He Hui nervously, guarding against her attack, He Hui suddenly said, “Who are you?”
Her voice was as if it was coming from a very distant place. To be honest, I told He Hui about her identity. She had not responded for a long time after hearing it. Just when I wanted to speak to break the silence, I saw some black figures around me. The figures set inch by inch with the sun, and became more and more obvious.
They walked in the city as freely as ordinary people, doing everything. Some people came over to ask me why I was sitting here. The people in the Burning City were dead a hundred years ago, so how could they still live to this day? Now the one who walked in front of us is just a wronged soul trapped in the Burning City and cannot be reincarnated.
I was worried that they would grab us and burn it to death like yesterday, so I quickly ran to the hidden place beside him. He Hui's charcoal black hand grabbed my clothes and then quickly climbed behind me. I shook my body desperately, but I couldn't shake her down. The group of people saw me leaving, but they didn't chase after me. They didn't shout to burn the spy to death...
While running, I looked at the surrounding buildings and suddenly felt something was wrong!
These buildings are obviously much newer than yesterday, as if they were back to the past. Suddenly, a small figure flashed in front of my eyes, and I was stunned when I saw her! "He Hui!" I called her name, and the girl turned around and looked at me. Her big eyes were bright and her little face was pink and cute, very charming.
He Hui was stunned when he heard my name call her. I saw a woman walking over quickly, picked up He Hui and hugged her in her arms. He Hui called sweetly: "Mom." The woman responded, then hugged He Hui and walked towards me. She walked straight towards me. I was about to ask, but the woman hurriedly walked past me.
Didn’t He Hui just climb behind me? I could still smell the stench from her body, but what was going on with the girl in front of me? In order to figure out these things, I secretly followed the woman. I saw that she was walking in remote alleys, and finally turned left and right to a small door, and knocked on the door gently. The person who opened the door was the woman I was on the stone platform that day. After He Hui and her mother entered the door, I could no longer see what had happened between them.
I only knew half an hour later, where the woman came out from alone, with tears in her eyes and extremely reluctant. But none of them stopped the woman from leaving. She gradually disappeared into the corpse-burning city. After that, a fierce quarrel came from the small portal: "Didn't you tell you not to take over the little bastard from your brother's house? Why don't you refuse!"
The woman said this, her voice was as sharp as if she was about to overturn the small portal. The man also cursed: "He said he would come back soon and take He Hui away! After all, he is the brother of a mother. What's wrong with raising this child for her for a few days..." The man's voice clearly lacked some confidence.
"Come back? Your brother has already gone to another country to enjoy his life! It would be strange if he would come back to pick up this child!" The woman shouted, and then a sound of pots and pans breaking in the room. Hearing this, I vaguely understood that He Hui's parents gave her to her brother's family for foster care for a while... "Didn't they... come back to pick you up?" I asked.
He Hui on his back did not answer. But I could feel its sadness.
When I approached He Hui at such a close distance, I realized that the resentment in her body was actually not very heavy, which was not surprising. Her resentment hovered in the Burning City and could not dissipate, which led to the fact that all the ghosts in the Burning City could not be able to reincarnate normally, so they stayed here. But she had been maintaining for nearly a hundred years, and even the greatest resentment would be consumed.
When the resentment is exhausted, He Hui will probably be lost.
I have recovered some strength now, and reason tells me that I will now pull out the life and death pen and then end this little ghost. Let all the ghosts in this city go back to reincarnation is the most correct choice. But I really want to know what was born, so that He Hui will completely disappear in this world without hesitation, and that everyone in the burning city will be unable to return, let them be trapped here, and repeat the past life day after day.
But after that, although I kept guarding He Hui's doorstep, I didn't get any useful information. Noise and noisy sounds were heard from the small portal, and beatings and scolding made me upset. I wandered around the town casually, and the villagers seemed to be unable to see He Hui on my back.
When night fell, the time began to burn again. I don’t know if it was because He Hui was behind me, but this time I didn’t feel pain because of the burning of the flames. It was just that there was darkness in front of me, and there was a pungent stinking corpse and burnt smell mixed together, which made me breathless.
