living in the world of reincarnation

Chapter 5 Monsters
"What?" Wang Qiang exclaimed, and then hurried to wake up the other sleeping people.

Lu Tianming woke up quickly. He grabbed the glasses beside him and put them on, looked at the three of them, and asked, "What happened?"

An Junhang also woke up, stretched his waist and yawned, forced his eyes open and asked in doubt, "What's wrong? Why are you making so much noise?"

There was no need for Mu Lan and the others to answer them. There was a clanging sound from the stairs in the northeast direction, and then two groups of green lights appeared from the darkness.

Mu Lan noticed that it was a human-shaped thing, wearing a tattered layer of cloth, and was slowly pacing in the direction of the crowd. The speed was not fast, and she couldn't see more specific details, because the whole body of the thing was covered Wrapped in black mist, only two faint green lights can be seen staring at him like a pair of eyes.

"I'll go! What is this!" Wang Qiang couldn't help but scream.

"Ghosts? Zombies? Undead?" An Junhang was also startled, and tried his best to summarize the thing in front of him into the myths and ghost stories he knew, popping up several words in succession.

"Don't worry about what it is!" Lu Tianming shouted: "Think of a solution!"

"What else can I do! Run!" Xiaode broke his voice in fright, and ran towards the gate without looking back.

The other few timid ones immediately scattered and followed Xiaode out.

Wang Qiang saw that the monster was getting closer and closer to him, and his legs began to weaken. If he were to deal with an ordinary person, or even more people, he would not be afraid, but this thing was beyond his cognition, and he had never With the experience of dealing with monsters, he was forced to back up again and again for a while, looking back at the few people who were running away, wondering if he should also slip away quickly.

When Lu Tianming saw the monster gradually approaching him, his calmness and composure disappeared. The dull sound made by the monster every time he stepped on the floor seemed to hit his heart, and he was sweating coldly. He slowly backed away towards the main entrance. , but at the same time don't forget to face the monster to observe its further actions.

Now among the eight people, only Wang Qiang, Lu Tianming, A Fenghe did not run away, and the three kept moving towards the gate. Because the speed of the thing was not fast, they formed a roughly safe distance of about 20 meters, at least a few people The "safe distance" in mind.

Lu Tianming reminded everyone to disperse and not get together, and the other two immediately dispersed. From the top down, it looked like three people surrounded the monster, but in fact it was a monster that forced the three to keep retreating.

Mu Lan was not as close to the monster as the three of them, but she was not too far away either. She watched from the sidelines as if she had bought a VIP seat. The appearance of the thing could be seen clearly under the light source. It looks like a human and a ghost, its body is covered with rotten and blackened flesh, some ribs are exposed on its abdomen, its facial features are so rotten that you can’t see clearly, its eye sockets are sunken, and there are two groups of green flames, there is no muscle on its left leg, and its legs His bones were exposed, and he walked with a limp.

An Junhang ran back again, yelling that the door could not be opened, and asked the people here to help quickly. When Mu Lan arrived, Xiaode, Xu Min and Zhao Mengqi were pushing the door with difficulty, and she also joined in to help. After pushing it a few times, I found that the wooden door did not move at all, as if it was locked.

"What should I do? I can't push it away!" Xu Min panicked, seeing the monster getting closer and closer, crying in a hurry.

"Looks like it's locked from the outside?" Mu Lan leaned against the crack of the door and looked out, but couldn't see anything clearly. The door can only be locked from the inside, and it's locked with a huge piece of wood, and it's obviously not locked at this time. ah.

"Go to the window!" Xiaode pointed to the huge stained glass window, "Let's go there!"

Mu Lan looked in the direction of the window. It was indeed feasible to smash the glass and jump out, but the two huge windows on the east and west were far away. If they wanted to go there, they had to go around the monster, which was closer to them.

"Why are you back again?" Wang Qiang asked after seeing several people leaving and returning.

"The door won't open! We have to jump out of the window!" Mu Lan replied.

"Look! That monster has become faster!" An Junhang shouted: "Hurry up, let's run!"

The monster seemed to become excited when seeing more people, the flames in its eye sockets changed from green to red, and the speed increased a lot, rushing towards Ah Feng who was closest to him.

Ah Feng ran away when he saw this, the monster was faster than he thought, and its sharp claws pounced on it, Ah Feng stopped immediately and rolled to his side, avoiding the attack.

After discovering that the monster was attacking Ah Feng, Wang Qiang and Lu Tianming ran away. While running, Mu Lan didn't forget to turn her head to look at Ah Feng. She saw that Ah Feng was very skilled and quick to react. of the two attacks.

The window sill was as high as a person, and Zhao Mengqi couldn't climb it, so An Junhang lifted her up and let Zhao Mengqi climb up the window sill clumsily. After kicking on the wall a few times, Xiaode picked up a hard metal candlestick and threw it directly on the glass, the glass cracked a big hole with a crash.

When Mu Lan ran to the window sill, the three of them were smashing against the stained glass in order to create a gap for people to pass through. At this time, Lu Tianming also ran over behind him, panting, and behind him was Ah Feng. Mu Lan wondered if he was How did you get rid of the monster? Looking back, the object the monster was chasing became Wang Qiang. At this time, a person and a ghost were running this way.

There was no time to think about other things, the three of them immediately climbed up the window sill, and Ah Feng completed the movements of climbing the wall and jumping out of the window in two or three moves. Shangsong, her usual exercise is running or tennis, and she has almost never done this kind of movement. When she was about to slowly arch up, Lu Tianming next to her pushed her down.

Seeing the apologetic look in Lu Tianming's eyes, Mu Lan had no time to think about whether he did it on purpose. Mu Lan could only continue to repeat the actions just now. Time was running out. At this time, Wang Qiang and the monster chasing behind him were less than seven or eight meters away from him. From a distance, Wang Qiang's sweating and panicked face and the rotting head wrapped in black mist behind him were so clear that she even smelled a disgusting stench.

Mu Lan's mind was blank, and she just climbed up with her survival instinct, and she climbed up the window sill more smoothly than before. When she jumped out, her right leg was suddenly grabbed, which was surprisingly powerful, and almost dragged her off the window sill. Lan was too frightened to look back, kicked down with her left foot, and jumped out of the castle with the help of reaction force.

"Ahhhhh!" Wang Qiang's scream came from the castle, accompanied by a strange howl.

Mu Lan and the others didn't turn back and ran to the open place far away from the castle. At this time, the sky outside had already brightened, and a white belly appeared in the distance at dawn.

A few people returned to the place where they first appeared, in the dilapidated garden. Because they were afraid of the restrictions of the mission rules, they dared not go further. Mu Lan was out of breath, and looked back from time to time, afraid that the Things chase out.

The other people were not much better either, Xu Min and Zhao Mengqi collapsed on the ground, gasping for breath, the other men were obviously much better, but their complexions were very bad.

"What if the monster chases out of the castle!" An Junhang cried, looking at the empty garden, "Now there is no place to hide!"

"I don't know!" Lu Tianming shook his head, he counted the number of people, "We are missing two people!"

"Wang Qiang is still inside!" Mu Lan said, in order to prevent confusion, she tried to speak slowly, "I was the last one to jump out, Wang Qiang is still inside the castle!"

Just at this moment, a pair of bloody hands grabbed the edge of the platform, but they fell down immediately without grasping it firmly. After a while, those hands grabbed the edge of the platform again. Wang Qiang gasped weakly and tried his best to climb up.

"Help!"

"Help! I'm not dead"

"It's Wang Qiang's voice!" Several people looked at the window and saw Wang Qiang still climbing over the wall.

Because they were afraid of the monster, none of them had the intention of going back to save people. An Junhang lowered his head in guilt and anxiety, Lu Tianming frowned, and Ah Feng remained calm, wondering what he was thinking.

"The monster has disappeared! Pull me out quickly! Really, the monster has disappeared!" Seeing that no one rescued him for a long time, Wang Qiang knew their concerns, and immediately shouted a few more words.

Mu Lan saw that Wang Qiang was holding his body weakly and kept trying to climb up. There seemed to be nothing blocking it, and the monster seemed to have really disappeared.

After another long while, after confirming that the monster had really disappeared, Lu Tianming tentatively walked back, grabbed Wang Qiang, and helped Wang Qiang climb out of the window with difficulty.

"The monster really disappeared?" Mu Lan was puzzled. At this time, Wang Qiang had escaped from danger and was lying on the ground covered in blood. There was a cut on the leg from the ankle to the knee. The skin and flesh were turned out, and the blood flowed out uncontrollably.

"Its claws were particularly sharp and it grabbed me many times when it came over. It wanted to tear me apart alive. Then, it suddenly turned into black powder and disappeared." Wang Qiang's breath was weak, his face was as pale as paper, and Mu Lan knew it was blood loss Too many states.

"Disappeared all of a sudden?" Lu Tianming pushed his glasses, not daring to answer: "Why?"

Mu Lan looked at the sky in the distance. The world in the early morning was completely different from when she arrived here last night. It was still covered with overcast clouds, but the gradually brightening sky made the strange colors of the castle much weaker. She said slowly, "It's dawn."

"It's finally dawn!" An Junhang also sighed, "The night here is really not a place for people to stay!" Then he thought of something and said, "Maybe it has something to do with dawn? That monster can only appear at night."

"Well, there is such a possibility." Lu Tianming nodded, and Mu Lan looked at him. Lu Tianming didn't dare to look her directly in the eyes, so he avoided it immediately, and knelt down to help Wang Qiang treat the wound.

Several people tore open the clothes, pulled out a few cloth strips to bandage Wang Qiang, and did a simple hemostasis, which was obviously not enough. In addition to the risk of infection, internal organs could not be ruled out, so he needed to go to a modern hospital Did a full inspection.

Mu Lan looked at Wang Qiang who was gradually falling into a coma. She remembered that someone grabbed her leg before jumping out of the window. She thought it was a monster and kicked it back. Looking back on the touch of those hands, it should be Wang Qiang. He wants to pull himself into the water?Or do you want to use your strength to climb up in a panic?It should be the former possibility. It is impossible for Wang Qiang's physical fitness to climb up. He can only drag himself down to attract the monster's attention.

There is another question. At the beginning, the monster chased Ah Feng, but why did it keep chasing Wang Qiang so hard?Judging from the performance of the monster, it always chases the person closest to it. Did Ah Feng use Wang Qiang to attract the monster's attention and get out of trouble?

Mu Lan observed Ah Feng, and saw that he was still calm and breezy, as if a series of thrilling things hadn't happened just now. Sensing that someone was watching her, Ah Feng turned to look at Mu Lan. He immediately looked away and felt that in addition to his extraordinary skills, this person also had extremely sensitive senses.
