Qingyue Temple

【Here, I saw you coming in...】

After the door was opened, a gloomy and cold voice filled the ruined temple, and the evil ghost came in looking for someone with heavy footsteps.

Hearing this sentence, Lin Mo was very nervous. Is this ghost trying to bluff him?Ghosts can bluff people too! ?

Or did it really see him?

If the ghost is sure that he is in this ruined temple and digs three feet to find him, it is not safe for him to hide in the statue!

The more Lin Mo thought about it, the more frightened he became. The sound of dragging footsteps scratched across the ground, like a saw cutting through Lin Mo's beating heart.

wipe--

wipe--

Lin Mo couldn't see anything in the statue, he could only hear the voice of the evil ghost, which was always near and sometimes far away.

【Where is it... I can't find it...】

Lin Mo felt that the ghost had stretched its head under the altar of the statue, and there was a piece of the base of the statue that Lin Mo had just knocked off from Lin Mo. Everyone froze in fear, the cold went from the soles of their feet to the depths of their brains, making them numb from the cold.

Fortunately, the evil ghost didn't stay under the statue for long, and it didn't raise its head to grope for the weak base under Lin Mo's feet, otherwise Lin Mo estimated that he was going to collapse.

[I can't find it... I can't find it... I can't find it...]

The evil ghost dragged its heavy dripping footsteps back and forth, and Lin Mo could feel the evil ghost circling around the statue.

The voice of the evil ghost changed from secluded to sinister, and then to venomous. He couldn't find each sound, as if blood dripped from his throat soaked in poison. Lin Mo became more and more frightened when he heard it. He closed his eyes and clenched his hands tightly. Arms kept praying for the evil spirit to go away.

Finally, the voice that said that it could not be found gradually became lost, and the footsteps were heard, and it stopped going round and round, as if it was about to give up.

Just when Lin Mo was about to breathe a sigh of relief, suddenly, Lin Mo listened to the evil ghost that stopped behind the statue, hesitated for a while, and seemed ready to leave.

at this time!

[...Haha, I got it, I got it! "

An inexplicably familiar child's voice yelled in his ear, the voice seemed to come from an illusion, and then it became real. After Lin Mo was in a trance for a moment, he suddenly found that his shoulder was grabbed by someone. A child's hand!

At the bottom of the back of the statue, several holes were rotted at some point. A child squatted outside, looked at him from one hole, and stretched out his hand from another big hole below to grab him.

Lin Mo's expression at this time was indescribable, as if he saw his own corpse, full of fear and absurdity.

The kid who grabbed his shoulder was still yelling in a familiar voice: "I caught you, turn your head around and let me see who you are."

Lin Mo was in a state of confusion right now, why was he so familiar, why was he so familiar.

In his memory, he seemed to have said this to someone, and how did that person reply to him?

By the way, it is "I have turned my head..."

The child said "Huh?", doubts and a little fear.

Lin Mo covered his head with one hand, and began to struggle crazily. The clay sculpture stones on the back of the statue fell more and more under the actions of him and the boy, peeling off piece by piece. From the more and more rotten holes, Lin Mo saw The evil ghost who was looking for him just now, with those swollen and rotten dead eyes, was looking at him bloody.

【Got you……】

【Got you……】

【I found you……】

Lin Mo didn't have time to think about that strange sense of familiarity, he yelled in horror: "Ah!"

As the evil spirit approached, the retreating Lin Mo bumped into the statue, trying to escape from the statue, but the child who was holding him never let go.

Lin Mo cursed angrily: "Let go! Let go! Damn it, let me go!"

The child outside the statue said angrily: "What nonsense are you talking about? Do you think I will be frightened by you? Turn your head quickly! You have already been caught by me, and you still want to hang on? You are now trapped in the statue by me, I can't run even if I want to!"

Lin Mo looked at the child bitterly, and suddenly asked, "Are you playing hide-and-seek with me?"

The child asked back: "Otherwise?"

Lin Mo looked at the evil spirit that was already close in front of him, and suddenly struggled hard, and after breaking free from the child's hand, he pushed the child in front of him towards the evil spirit that was dragging his feet, and shouted: "It is Ghost, go and play with it!"

After pushing the child away, Lin Mo immediately smashed the broken base of the statue, jumped out of the statue, fell under the altar, rolled twice quickly and left the spot.

The child who was pushed out by Lin Mo seemed to be a little confused, until he bumped into a cold and sticky body behind him, and raised his head, "Ahhhhh!!!"

After Lin Mo jumped out of the statue, he covered his ears to escape from the terrifying ghost and the child's terrified screams, but after running two steps, he suddenly fell to the ground suffocating as if he was being strangled by the neck.

what happened!

what happened?

【caught you……】

[You can't run away, you can't run away...]

Lin Mo grabbed his throat that seemed to be choked by something, and rolled and struggled on the ground. The sound like tarsus maggots in his ears kept drilling into his brain. At this moment, Lin Mo rolled to the side of the statue, Suddenly, he saw the evil spirit behind him.

The evil ghost who was playing hide-and-seek with him was now holding a child in his hand. He was strangling the child's neck viciously, as if he wanted to swallow the child in one gulp, but his eyes were looking at the ground. Lin Mo.

Crazy, mocking, bloody.

The child was strangled and struggled, completely speechless, his face was livid and purple, just like Lin Mo who was lying on the ground now.

At this time, Lin Mo finally saw the child's face clearly.

Lin Mo, who was pinched and almost spit out, suddenly cried and laughed. That face, that face, was clearly his own when he was 6 years old!

【Lin Mo...】

【Lin Mo...】

【Lin Mo...】

【it's your turn……】

【It's finally you...】

Lin Mo struggled on the ground, struggling non-stop, uttering sinister and vicious curses one after another, and one after another illusory and terrifying figures appeared around him.

Lin Mo's breathing became weaker and weaker, as if hallucinations appeared in front of his eyes, he saw countless faces, these familiar faces, from children to adults, surrounded him on tiptoes, and looked down at him viciously from above.

Gloomy, dark, and full of resentment, familiar dead faces watched Lin Mo's dying struggle.

Is he dying.

Are you going to die?

Looking at the faces of evil spirits above, these companions of Lin Mo's childhood should have been cute and childish faces, but now they are in the darkness without sunlight, revealing bloody and malicious expressions Laughing, celebrating Lin Mo's death.

Lin Mo, who was completely suffocated, finally burst into tears.

I am sorry.

I am sorry.

I am sorry.

Lin Mo, who was crying and kept apologizing in his heart, the faces in his eyes faded away one by one, and those gloomy faces of evil spirits seemed to be gradually recovering their original appearance, turning into familiar ones in Lin Mo's memory The faces of companions from childhood.

But Lin Mo was unable to remember these lost and recovered scenes, and his eyes were completely darkened.

He is dead.

……

sink into the deepest darkness.

Bottomless.

But suddenly there was light.

Struggling in the most suffocating vacuum.

But suddenly there is air...

"Cough cough cough cough."

Lin Mo, whose face was full of tears from crying, opened his eyes suddenly, turned over and fell off the bed.

Lin Mo was immediately blindfolded.

He, he is not dead? ?

"Oh, little Mo, how could I fall off the bed after sleeping? Did it hurt?" The woman in the living room hastily lifted the curtain and ran in. Seeing Lin Mo sitting on the ground stupidly, she hurried up to use Touching his forehead, he seemed a little worried seeing Lin Mo's dumbfounded look.

Lin Momu stared blankly at the familiar woman: "...Mom?"

Lin Mo looked at himself again, thin, young, a pair of child's hands, a child's body, this is... when he was a child?

Lin Mo suddenly reached out and grabbed his mother, shouting: "Mom, how old am I now? What time is it?"

Lin Mo's mother was taken aback by her startled son. While worrying that her son would fall into a fool, she touched his forehead and said, "Xiao Mo, what's wrong with you? You are 6 years old, didn't you go to meet your son just now?" Did the friends play hide-and-seek, and came back to sleep after having a quarrel? Did they come across something unclean and be haunted? Xiao Mo is not afraid, mother is here." As she said, Lin Mo's mother wanted to put her son Hugging him in his arms, he patted his son on the back to comfort him.

hide and seek……

Ever since he met a ghost when he was a child, Lin Mo has never played hide and seek, nor has he played any games related to ghosts.

Lin Mo jumped up suddenly: "What time is it, Mom?! What time is it?"

Before Lin Mo's mother, who was confused by her son, told the time, Lin Mo had already seen the time on the clock on the wall.

It's 5pm.

Lin Mo remembers clearly that when he ran home after encountering a ghost when he was a child, it was 3:[-] in the afternoon, and then he hid in the house, shivering under the quilt until night.

Lin Mo regretted for a while, since he can go back to the past, why can't he come back sooner?

It has been an hour, maybe Tie Dan has been killed.

Lin Mo yelled anxiously: "Mom, go and call someone, something has happened! Tie Dan and the others may have had an accident!"

As he said that, before Lin Mo's mother could react, Lin Mo had already rushed out, shouting hoarsely in the village while running: "Stop playing hide-and-seek, there are ghosts! Tie Dan, Lin Lin, come out quickly! Don't play any more! Alright, there is a ghost trying to kill you!!"

"Why is this kid running around like crazy? What kind of ghost is this? It's broad daylight."

"Children's eyes are poisonous, don't be frightened by something."

The people in the village didn't pay much attention to Lin Mo's yelling at first, but after Lin Mo ran back and forth in fear and kept yelling, the people in the village also became worried, and they would rather believe it than not After all, the safety of the child is the most important thing.

As a result, many people followed Lin Mo to find him.

Soon, under the yelling of Lin Mo and a group of adults, the impatient children who had been hiding for a long time came out of their hiding places one after another.

But after 19 came out, there was no next one.

One is missing, it is an iron egg.

"Tie Dan! Tie Dan! Where is this bastard hiding!" Tie Dan's mother was so anxious that she finally grabbed Lin Mo, "Lin Mo, where did you see the ghost? Why do you know that the ghost wants to arrest people? Has Tiedan been caught?"

Lin Mo was flustered. Seeing that he didn't speak, Tie Dan's mother grabbed his clothes in a hurry: "Tell me, what do you know? Tell me quickly, what's going on?"

"I, I..." In anxiety, Lin Mo suddenly remembered a place and shouted, "I know where Tie Dan is! Come with me!"

Lin Mo rushed to the ruined temple where he met the ghost with a group of adults.

Iron Dan, who could not be found anywhere at the beginning, was found in the statue of the god in the ruined temple. His body was found.

Lin Mo didn't want to think about this ruined temple, and was afraid that if Tie Dan was really found in this ruined temple, Tie Dan might have already been killed.

The adults took all kinds of sharp tools such as hoes and hammers, and Tie Dan's mother even went home and copied a kitchen knife, and a group of people opened the door of the ruined temple.

The ruined temple was quiet, as if there was nothing there.

Just when the adults were at a loss, Lin Mo ran directly to the statue.

After a while, Lin Mo shouted: "Here! I found it here!"

In the idol.

Tie Dan was lying in the statue, not knowing whether he was alive or dead, and unconscious.

"Hurry up, smash the idol and get the child out. It's really evil, how did this child get in."

"Be careful, don't hurt the child."

With a few "bang bang" sounds, the idol quietly rotted piece by piece, and the somewhat ferocious face fell to the ground and became fragments.

Tie Dan was rescued. I don't know what he went through. He seemed to faint from fright, but he was still breathing.

"Send it to the hospital for emergency treatment!"

"Didn't the baby say you met a ghost? Does the hospital work? Do you want to go to the witch at the third aunt's house first?"

"Send it to the hospital first, let Tie Dan's family also go to the witch, and do both!"

……

Looking at the iron egg that seemed to be breathing a little, and hearing the adults discussing and carrying the iron egg out of the temple, Lin Mo's whole body went limp, and he sat down on the ground, wiping away his tears while crying and laughing.

However, just when the adults are all gone.

The fragment of the statue's face at Lin Mo's feet suddenly smiled grimly at Lin Mo. When Lin Mo widened his eyes and wanted to retreat, a black hand suddenly stretched out from behind the fragment of face, and grabbed Lin Mo suddenly. Mo's ankle!

The face of the statue fragment was full of resentment and viciousness: 【Why?I followed your rules of the game, why are you here to break the game? 】

【why? 】

The black hand climbed up Lin Mo's ankle, grabbed Lin Mo's calf, and then grabbed Lin Mo's knee, leaving black and purple ghost handprints one after another on Lin Mo's skin. Keep going up.

"Ah!" Lin Mo yelled, wanting to back up, but couldn't move at all.

【why?Why not follow the rules of the game? 】

Just when Lin Mo thought that he was really going to die this time, a hand that seemed to be shining suddenly stretched out from the void, and grabbed the evil ghost that was climbing on Lin Mo.

【ah! !What...something is catching me...]

After the hand comes the person.

Seeing that person, Lin Mo's chaotic mind suddenly had a memory.

It's him, the master of Qingyue Temple!

"If you like playing games so much, why not come and play with me."

Fang Shanshui, who was behind the void, said something lightly, and then he stuck a yellow talisman on the screaming and struggling evil spirit, and pulled it hard, and the evil spirit that was hanging on Lin Mo's body was pulled away immediately.

【what! ! ! 】

screaming.

The evil spirit disappeared in an instant.

Lin Mo looked at the evil ghost that made him die, and was captured so easily, his mind was foggy for a while, and he couldn't react at all.

Fang Shanshui, who was behind the void, glanced at the child Lin Mo sitting on the ground, "It's time to wake up, Lin Mo." Then, Fang Shanshui stretched out his hand to Lin Mo.

Lin Mo found that his body suddenly changed, and his arms and legs seemed to start to fold automatically.

Lin Mo felt like a paper man. Under the call of the gods, the paper man was beaten back to its original shape, and automatically disassembled the folded self, turning back into the original piece of paper.

Then, Lin Mo, who turned into a piece of paper, watched himself fly up lightly, drifting away from the time and space when he was six years old, and fell into the hands of Fang Shansai.
