This is not a weird story

After the shadow appeared in the candlelight, it seemed to want to get rid of Wei An's body control.

This process of getting rid of usually only takes a minute, so Wei An must blow out the candle before the time comes to make the shadow disappear.

He glanced at the shadow at his feet, and then focused on this room. Because he had to quickly write down the environment and layout of the room, Wei An did not dare to waste time.

This room is the same as the room where Wei An stayed just now. It has only a single room and is not large in size. However, in addition to a bed, there is also a table.

The table was covered with various miscellaneous things, including goat's hooves, a bowl of water, some piles of small grains of sand, a pile of small pieces of paper, and a large number of quail eggs.

Of course, this could also be the egg of some unknown animal.

Not knowing what these things were used for, Wei An quickly wrote down the approximate locations of everything, and then quickly blew out the candles.

At the moment before blowing it out, he found that the shadow under his feet was about to break free, and only one point was connected to him. It seemed that he had underestimated the time and almost let the shadow escape.

After blowing out the candle, Wei An did not light it again for the time being. Instead, he groped around on the bed next to him, looking under the pillow and mattress, but found no trace of the key.

After putting all the rummaged things back into place and making sure there were no traces left, Wei An relit the candle, held the candle in one hand, and rummaged through the messy items on the table with the other.

The items are so scattered that it would be almost hard to see if that key was small.

However, Wei An thought that this was a key that could open the door to Montenegro, so the size of the key should not be very small, or even larger than an ordinary door key.

In order not to mess up the table, he rummaged carefully and immediately restored the place he had searched. During this period, he blew out the candle twice and then lit it again.

At the same time, Wei An kept his ears open to pay attention to the movements outside.

Because according to Old Peter, the guy would come back fifteen minutes every time he went out. Although it was impossible to estimate the time accurately, Wei An would choose to leave after almost ten minutes, regardless of whether he found the key or not.

Old Peter has a good relationship with Nie Jun, and they cooperate with each other with Wei An. Moreover, he has been waiting for the opportunity for the right person to help for a long time, so it is impossible to deceive Wei An and put him in a dangerous situation.

But this time, no one expected that only eight minutes had passed, and the black figure in a cloak outside the door of this house had returned.

At this moment, in addition to searching twice for the debris on the table, Wei An searched other places in the house again, but still found nothing.

Suddenly his eyes were fixed on the sheep's hoof that looked unusually abrupt. The sheep's hoof seemed to have been cut off from somewhere. The broken parts were not so neat, indicating that the blade of the knife was blunt or the sheep bones were hard. .

"Could it be that the sheep's hoof is the key?"

This idea flashed in Wei An's mind.

Old Peter didn't say what the key looked like. He just said that it could open the door to the Black Mountain. But to open the door, it doesn't have to be in the shape of a key. This is a strange story. If the key was a corpse, Wei An wouldn't know it. Suspect.

At this time, the candle in his hand has been burning for almost a minute. Wei An is not going to light it again next time because there are no suspicious items to look for here.

He immediately picked up the sheep's hoof and took a closer look at it. He found that the first half of the sheep's hoof had been soaked in water, which should be the water in the bowl. There was also some dry egg yolk powder smeared on the broken part of the sheep's hoof, which should have come from those " quail eggs".

The wool is also mixed with some fine grains of sand, embedded in the flesh.

He put the sheep's hooves into his pocket and was about to blow out the candles when he saw a black shadow appear at the door of the room. The man in a cloak he saw just now pushed open the door and rushed towards Wei An!

Before the person could get close, a gust of fishy wind had already hit Wei An's head. The smell was so choking that Wei An almost couldn't catch his breath, and he stretched out his hand to block the approaching figure.

But at the same moment, the candle in his hand also fell to the ground. The flame flickered several times, but it did not go out.

In a hurry, Wei An stepped on the candle, but was thrown to the ground by the cloaked man with a fishy smell. He immediately took out the scalpel that Su Ya had returned to him and pointed it at the cloaked man's hidden body. A sharp cut in the neck in the darkness.

You can feel that the cut has hit the target with the feel of your hand, but there is no blood dripping, but black liquid flowing down one by one, dripping on Wei An's collar. Suddenly a burning smell spreads, and the collar is burned out. Several small holes.

At the same moment, Wei An felt that his body suddenly became empty, as if something had been pulled out.

He looked up in a hurry and saw that his shadow had separated from his body and quickly crawled to the opposite wall. Because the fallen candle was still not extinguished, the shadow kept beating in the candlelight following the flames.

Before he could take a closer look, Wei An immediately bent his knees and pressed against the cloaked man's chest. During this period, two drops of the black smelly liquid dripped on his face. His skin immediately made a sizzling sound, and a stream of white gas came out, and at the same time there was a sound. To the severe pain of being burned by fire.

Wei An pushed hard with his knees and pushed the cloaked man aside. The cloaked man sat on the ground, and the cloak on his head fell down, revealing the figure.

Although this guy has a human shape and appearance, at first glance, it can be seen that its cheeks have been completely ulcerated, and the bones can be seen deeply. You can also see the dark nerves and squirming flesh in the muscles and bones.

It was like a cursed freak, a body that was being corroded all the time.

Wei An changed the scalpel in his hand, holding a killing ax in both hands, and struck the festering man with the ax from top to bottom.

The guy immediately stepped back in desperation and raised his left hand to block. The ax instantly chopped off his blocking hand, and a ball of black smelly liquid splashed out, splashing on Wei An's clothes, arms and face.

Fortunately, Wei An closed his eyes quickly, but the skin on his face and arms was immediately burned, causing more severe pain.

The festering man took this opportunity to let out a roar from his mouth, his throat immediately began to surge, he got up and sprayed a mouthful of black liquid at Wei An.

Wei An's sight was not blocked, but the space in the room was too small, and he had no place to avoid it. Instead, he immediately rotated his hand, and the blue steel umbrella appeared in his hand and threw away all the splashing black liquid.

This steel frame umbrella is hard and has not been corroded even if it comes into contact with black liquid.

At this moment, the festering man turned around and ran outside the house.

Wei An was about to chase after him when his ankle suddenly tightened. He couldn't control his forward body and fell to the ground. His own shadow immediately entangled and suppressed his body.

At the same time, Wei An's neck was also tightened by the shadow.
