Obsessive hunting Ⅰ

The mirror refracted more than a hundred faint candle lights, like chains chasing souls, encircling Li Yunsheng and Qi Mo. No matter from which angle they looked, they could see their hasty and anxious images in the yellowed mirror.

Undoubtedly, the shattering of any bronze mirror will declare the end of their lives.

The speed of the talisman paper leading the way was far slower than the burning speed of the red candle. The tears of the candle were like blood, slowly gathering into a pool. Seeing that little flame was about to be extinguished, the last hour was coming.

"Qi Mo." Li Yunsheng rarely called Qi Mo's name seriously, but at this moment his tone was extremely serious, "It's too late, do you want to take a gamble?"

Qi Mo replied softly: "I know what you mean, but using the power of the red leaf bracelet here will consume a lot of your energy."

"...I'm ready to die, can there be a worse result than this?"

"Okay, then you have a try, I will accompany you."

The enchantment set by the red leaf bracelet can't protect them from the damage of the Soul-Leaving Mirror, but it can stop the burning of the candle for a short time - and no one can guarantee how long it will stop.

They said it was a try, but in fact, both of them knew how risky this move was, but they had no choice.

Li Yunsheng closed his eyes and chanted a few words in a low voice. The moment he opened his eyes again, the red leaf bracelet on his wrist was already full of red light, almost suppressing the refracted candlelight from all sides. The candle that was about to burn out in the mirror stopped burning miraculously, as if it had been frozen in a dark painting.

At the same time, Li Yunsheng's blood stained on the talisman suddenly rose into wisps of smoke, and the speed of leading the way was several times higher than before, and finally turned into ashes and scattered into the air when the exit was approaching.

"right here!"

Li Yunsheng could almost feel the coldness of the night wind. Unexpectedly, just before he was about to be free, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his wrist. It turned out that the spell of the red leaf bracelet had failed.

Li Ziyuan once said that in the formation condensed by extremely strong obsession, even the magic weapon of the hunter has little effect.This is roughly the principle of mutual generation and mutual restraint for all things in the world, even if you are a hunter, you are not omnipotent.

The red candle in the hundred-faced bronze mirror lost its light in an instant, and every crack that appeared on the mirror surface overflowed with murderous aura, and fell apart with a crisp sound.

Without any time to think, Qi Mo raised his hand subconsciously and pushed Li Yunsheng towards the exit. This action delayed his escape from the scene for a moment, but after a moment, blood oozed from his back and legs that were still exposed in the mirror.

At the very moment, Li Yunsheng, who had already set foot on the safe zone, turned back again. He rushed over and grabbed Qi Mo's waist and pulled back forcefully. While he was about to rescue Qi Mo from the mirror, his right arm felt like it was being torn apart. The pain was already dripping with blood, staining the sleeves of his shirt.

The two lay on the cold ground, panting for a long time, until Li Yunsheng woke up first, he hurriedly took off the silver pendant and put it on Qi Mo, looking at each other with complicated and inexplicable eyes.

"You..." His voice trembled a little due to the pain, but he still bit his words clearly, revealing a bit of viciousness, "Are you dying?"

The silver pendant temporarily stopped the large bloodstain on Qi Mo's back. The latter calmly touched his legs, and said in a low voice for a while, "The bones are not broken, and we can still walk."

Li Yunsheng was almost pissed off by him: "You have very low demands on yourself? Did you almost die in it just now?!"

Qi Mo asked thoughtfully, "Is my life and death important to you?"

"..." Li Yunsheng was also taken aback when he heard the words, he hesitated for a long time, and then answered with a frown, "You followed me all the way and helped me a lot, besides, you were injured just now to save me, but any man, You can’t stand by and watch.”

This answer can be said to be very reasonable and convincing. Qi Mo was silent for a long time, his face was pale due to blood loss, but his eyes were still dark and clear, and he suddenly smiled.

"I understand."

"What do you unserstand?"

Qi Mo pretended he didn't hear this, sighed, looked around, and said calmly, "Yun Sheng, have you noticed that something is wrong here?"

Li Yunsheng immediately understood: "You mean this place is not like the Beicun we were in before?"

"Correct."

"I also find it strange, because since you and I just escaped from the mirror, the aura of this earthen house is different."

The two looked at the adobe house in front of them at the same time, and saw that the exit had been completely restored to the appearance of the brick wall, as if nothing had happened before.

Not long after, the two people sitting at the back of the room suddenly heard loud shouts coming from the front of the room a hundred meters away. There seemed to be many people arguing there.

In view of Qi Mo's temporary inability to move, Li Yunsheng motioned for the former to keep quiet, while he walked around cautiously with his arms clutched, observing the situation cautiously.

Under the dark night, it turned out that the villagers of Beicun were gathering in one place, loudly condemning a thin young man who lived here.

"Beicun does not reject outsiders. Back then, we kindly took you and your wife to live in the village. We did our best! But now your woman has a strange disease that cannot be cured. If you don't get rid of her quickly, more people will be infected. Do you want us all to suffer together?"

The man seemed to be crying, and even his voice was full of crying: "I beg you folks, Dr. Li has already said that my wife's illness is not a terminal illness, as long as you don't step into this earthen house, you won't be infected. She is in danger, she is taking medicine and will gradually get better, please give me some time..."

"No!" Someone immediately refused, "That crappy quack doctor surnamed Li, can he believe what he said? I see that you have only two choices now, either take your wife and leave Beicun as soon as possible, or you just give up. She, let's burn her, and it's over."

As soon as these four words are uttered, it really makes people feel like falling into an ice cave, from the bottom of the heart to the limbs and bones.

Unexpectedly, such a proposal was also approved by the majority of people present.

"That's right! I heard earlier that this kind of strange disease covered in purple spots is caused by evil spirits. Even if we drive her away, it's hard to say whether the dirty things will still stay in our village. We can only burn them with a fire." Just rest assured!"

Seeing that the shouts became louder and louder, some villagers had already lit the torches in their hands. The young man was forced so hard that he finally knelt down in front of the crowd with a "plop" and beat his head three times.

He said hoarsely: "Please! My wife is my life! She is just sick and has not caused any evil spirits. She will get better!"

However, no one wanted to listen to his explanation. The villagers who were obsessed with ghosts only wanted to avoid future troubles, so tonight this fire had to be lit.

The young man was outnumbered, even though he desperately wanted to stop the raging villagers and prop up a safe space for his seriously ill wife, he finally found out in despair that this was simply impossible.

The villagers violently tried to tear him apart, and some even cursed and threatened to burn him to death if they tried to stop him.

In such a remote place, ending a human life silently does not seem to be something worth mentioning.

"Doctor Li - Doctor Li! Come out and say something fair -"

However, Dr. Li, who was the only life-saving straw, never appeared from the beginning to the end.

Li Yunsheng stood where he was, the knuckles of his fingers turned white, and even the pain of the wound could not cool down his anger.

At this moment, he heard Qi Mo's voice behind him.

"This is Beicun about ten years ago, and it is the origin of all subsequent disasters."

"...how did you come here?"

Qi Mo glanced at him indifferently: "It's not that I can't go."

Li Yunsheng was speechless for a while, and finally stretched out his uninjured left hand to support the other party: "Is it interesting to force yourself?"

"Compared with such trivial matters, I think you should be more interested in that sad man."

"Of course I want to help that helpless couple, but this was ten years ago, and I can't change the established history."

"So..." Qi Mo's tone was meaningful, "That man didn't survive in the end."

Li Yunsheng looked not far away again, and saw that the young man had already ignited the adobe house with the torches of the villagers, and he could not save his beloved wife no matter what, he suddenly went crazy and pushed everyone away, Rolling and crawling, he rushed into the burning inner room.

"I will die here with her tonight! No matter how many years I become a ghost, I will not let you all go!"
