reincarnation train

Facing the giant beast, countless people's legs were so weak that they were about to be unable to stand. However, after a long time, the snake was not seen rushing into the city, and the stagnant atmosphere gradually eased.

"Isn't this snake allowed to come in?" someone asked.

I don't know if this city has any restrictions on the giant snake, or if the snake just doesn't want to come in, but obviously, everyone is undoubtedly safe now.

"Will it leave? Just block the door, how can we get out when we find the ticket?" Tang Yunsi frowned.

Wu Xiajiu also frowned, "I don't know if it will leave, but I want to know why it came... Is it because of us, or because of this city."

Facing everyone's puzzled gazes, Wu Xiajiu pointed to the giant snake's eyes, "Look, it doesn't actually look at us very much, but keeps looking at the surrounding houses."

Shi Shangzuo looked at him and said, "So you're thinking, is it because the sound the city makes when it rises attracts the giant snake, or is it because it's almost night and there may be changes in the city that attract the giant snake?" come."

Wu Xiajiu always felt that these rooms with doors that couldn't be opened were too weird and weird, so he nodded upon hearing this.

"Then what should we do, we can only stay in the city at night?" The people around asked anxiously, "Since this snake didn't come for us, then... can we try to go out?"

"No one wants to try it, maybe the snake doesn't mind swallowing people in one bite." Tang Yunsi replied.

Everyone's complexion is even more ugly, no one wants to risk their lives to try, they have no doubts about the possibility of the giant snake swallowing them in one bite, maybe their small bodies are not big enough for the giant snake to squeeze between their teeth, but, out If you don't go, the city is really weird, and it may be even more dangerous at night. Now you are completely in a dilemma.

At last they remained in the city looking for tickets when it was evidently getting dark.

The cold wind suddenly picked up, and whispers suddenly came from the quiet city. I couldn't hear what they were talking about, but my ears became inexplicably noisy.

"Damn, did someone find the ticket again, why is it so noisy?" They kept searching silently, and raised their heads to look at other places in the city after hearing this.

"It's in these houses." Shi Shang Zuo said in a deep voice.

Everyone began to be suspicious. After someone pointed it out, the source of the sound became obvious. From time to time, there was some movement in the dark house, as if some ghost was about to break out of the door.

At this moment, a light suddenly lit up in the house, and everyone gasped, watching the silhouette of dry and thin hands slowly leave the candlestick on the window...

"There are... there are ghosts." Fang Zi tremblingly said, it seemed that he was not as calm as Professor Zhou.

Wu Xiajiu calmly said, "Giant snakes or ghosts, which one are you more afraid of?"

"I'm afraid." Fang Zi wanted to cry.

Shi Shang looked at the light on the left, after the silhouette of the hand left, it was only dim now, "What do you say, what are the things in it doing now?"

Wu Xiajiu said, "Planning to come out?"

What about after coming out?

Just when everyone became more and more suspicious, the houses on both sides of the street began to light up one by one, countless silhouettes appeared on the window paper, it was dark, and the movement in the house became more and more loud, as if they were making final preparations for going out .

Shi Shangzuo quickly pulled Wu Xiajiu past, and said to the others, "Find a place to hide yourself first, hurry up!" After speaking, he led the people under a booth.

With the sound of panicked footsteps, Tang Yunsi and Fang Zi took Professor Zhou under the big wooden table, which was covered with cloth.

As if playing hide-and-seek, just as the panic in the city gradually calmed down, the sound of doors being pushed open sounded one after another.

Out!Wu Xiajiu and Shi Shangzuo looked at each other, and looked outside holding their breath.

A kind of dislocation of the bones, the teeth-gritting sound sounded, like a rusty machine that had not been used for a long time, making a clicking sound. The city was silent for a while, and an unspeakable panic gradually spread.

The sound of feet rubbing against the sand was getting closer, Shi Shangzuo wrote in Wu Xiajiu's palm, "Something is coming."

Wu Xiajiu pointed to the ground outside the booth, where strange and slender shadows were slowly appearing.

Not a ghost?Ghosts don't have shadows... Wu Xiajiu frowned and thought, watching the shadow get closer and closer, and finally the owner of the shadow was revealed in the eyes of the two of them.

A pair of feet on worn-out cloth shoes staggered in. His legs were weird. The exposed parts were dry and black, with protruding muscles, as if all the moisture on them had been drained.

Wu Xiajiu's palms itched, and Shi Shangzuo was writing again, "Mummy."

Mummy? !

Wu Xiajiu didn't look surprised, it didn't seem unusual to encounter such a thing in the desert.

However, the thing got closer and closer, and finally stopped in front of the stall where the two were squatting. Looking at the pair of mummy legs in front of him, Wu Xiajiu turned around and wrote in the palm of Shi Shangzuo, "Is this the stall owner?" ?”

Hearing the movement from above his head, Shi Shang raised his eyebrows left and wrote, "Is that right, maybe you're selling something?"

It seems that there is such a possibility...

Wu Xiajiu saw a mummy standing at the booth where Tang Yunsi and others were hiding, preparing things with stiff hands and feet. He had an absurd thought in his heart. Could it be that these mummy spent the day as night?So, sleeping during the day and getting up at night to sell things? !

Ah, what a hard-working little mummy, he still wants to work when he is not a human...

Just as he was lost in thought, Wu Xiajiu suddenly felt a pain in his cheek, Shi Shangzuo withdrew his hand without guilt, and wrote, "What are you thinking? My eyes are blank."

Just waiting for an answer, the two suddenly heard a scream not far away, someone was discovered!

"Ah, ah, don't come here, don't come here!"

There was a sound of panic, but Wu Xiajiu noticed that the mummy in front of them did not move at all. He exchanged a glance with Shi Shangzuo, they turned to the side of the booth facing the street, and gently lifted a corner of the tablecloth.

I don’t know when the street lights were brightly lit, and there was a mummy standing in front of countless stalls, with the worn clothes still on the body, exposing the burnt skin, and the shriveled body was weirdly distorted. It was obviously a strange and terrifying picture, but Because the absurd side of the street becomes funny.

At least in the eyes of Wu Xiajiu, the person who was found was waving something in his hands in a panic, and the mummy chasing after him was limping, and his black eyes were staring straight at... staring at the thing in the person's hand. thing?

Wu Xiajiu blinked his eyes, looked at the irrelevant attitude of the mummy behind the stalls around him, and the slightly pitiful mummy chasing after him with disabilities, and felt a little sympathetic to him.

The person being chased was about to cry. He didn't hide well. The space was very narrow. His legs were numb when he was squatting. When he wanted to move, he suddenly jumped forward with unsteady legs. On the leg of the mummy, she was frightened to death in an instant, and fled in a panic with a handy thing, and the mummy followed behind.

"Stop, give him what's in your hand!" At this moment, he heard a voice say, in a panic, he turned around and saw two people standing in front of one of the stalls, one of them frowned with him.

What?His head was in a mess, before he could react, he heard the man yell again, "Give it to him!"

Trembling with fright, the man subconsciously threw the thing in his hand into the arms of the mummy.

Wu Xiajiu breathed a sigh of relief, watching the red light in the mummy's eyes recede, he had no doubt that if that person kept holding on to something, the mummy would pounce on him immediately and gnaw him.

Under the horrified gaze of the man, the mummy hugged the things in its arms, limped and turned back to its booth.

"It's... because I took his things, so you chased me?" The man said panting, and looked around silently, only staring at their mummy with black eyes, still feeling extremely Panic, for fear that they will rush over in the next moment.

Wu Xiajiu looked back at the booth where they got out just now. The mummy just kept watching after they got out, but didn't move at all. He took out a piece of mint candy and placed it on the table in front of the mummy.

The mummy lowered its head with a click, and when it was raised again, it raised one of its dry lips stiffly, as if it was laughing.

Wu Xiajiu: "..."

When he was thinking about whether to return a smile, the mummy stretched out his withered palm, and slowly took out something from his bosom. As soon as the thing came out, Wu Xiajiu was stunned.

The transparent thing against the black and withered palm of the mummy is very obvious. With a sound of "thud", the thing was placed in front of Wu Xiajiu by the mummy. It was a rectangular, palm-sized, transparent sheet with a middle Two lines of text are engraved.

"Passenger: Wu Xiajiu. Room number: 7-44."

"A long time." Shi Shangzuo reminded him.

Wu Xiajiu licked his lower lip, reached out his hand tentatively, and took back his ticket. The transparent material was cold to the touch, and the texture was hard. Through it, the lines of the palm could be seen clearly.

"This... all of this is okay?!" The person who was chased just now was stunned. When he came back to his senses, he wanted to try this too, but he didn't have anything on him.

At this time, someone on the street had already bravely crawled out. Tang Yunsi still had a pack of biscuits on his body, but he didn't take it out immediately when he looked at the people around him.

The person who was chased just now walked up to Wu Xiajiu with a smirk, "Can you lend me a piece of candy for a try too, I... I don't have anything on me." Excuse me.

Wu Xia said for a long time, "I only have the last one on me, but I can give it to you, but are you sure that what you want from someone else is useful?"

Under the hesitant expression of that person, Wu Xiajiu added, "Also, we don't know if this method happened to me, or if everyone can use it."

After finishing speaking, Wu Xiajiu took out candy from his pocket and threw it to him, "You decide for yourself."

After the man thanked him, he hesitated for a while and chose another booth. He put the candy on the table in front of the mummy, but the mummy only looked at him with horrifying eyes and didn't move at all.

"No...is it useless?" There was cold sweat on the man's forehead, his eyes flickered as he looked at the candy, and finally trembling hands, he put it on the candy and wanted to take it back.

"Scared!" The palm of the hand was instantly covered with a dry and scorched hand, the sharp nails were deep in the flesh, scratching the wound, and the bright red blood dripped down.

"Ho... ho ho." As if stimulated by the smell of blood, a hoarse and roaring sound came from the mummy's throat.

"Take your hands away quickly." Someone shouted, the man shivered and withdrew his hand, the wound on his arm where the nails scratched went all the way to the back of the hand and the fingertips, and the bones were deep, but at this moment, he couldn't care less Duo, endure the pain that blurted out, stay away from this booth.

The mummy slowly calmed down, and the street became silent again...
