Chapter 0635 – Hide and Seek
”Who’s that? It looks a bit familiar, is it a passenger in the car?” The drunkard had just been saying that the streets were safer than inside a house, before his words fell there was an abnormality on the road, he suspected that there were a pair of eyes where he couldn’t see that had been watching him, and every move he made was seen by the other side.
”Is he waving at me? The fog is so thick that I can’t see his face clearly, and he shouldn’t be able to see my face clearly either, and under these circumstances, a normal person shouldn’t go and take the initiative to give someone a greeting.”
People are forced out, after those horrible things just now, the drunken man had obviously become wiser, and had begun to try to think differently.
The silhouette of the man in the fog was slowly becoming clearer, and the other person seemed to be heading his way.
”No, I need to stay away from him.”
The drunken man clearly felt the speed of the other person increasing, he didn’t dare to respond, he turned around and ran.
”If he was a human, he would have spoken, not a word, just waving and thinking about it.”
The road wasn’t safe either, and there was some despair in the drunkard’s mind, and he didn’t know where to go.
”The most important thing now is to meet up with the other passengers, I’m going to get played alone sooner or later.” The drunkard ran forward for some distance, he didn’t have a bus along the way, the more he ran, the more vain he became: “It’s over, completely lost, the buildings around here all look alike, that bus is my only reference.”
A blurry figure could be vaguely seen in the fog behind him, the person who had just given him a wave was still following behind, keeping a distance from him.
”Damn it, what is this thing again? Why does it keep following me?” The drunkard sped up and ran to the next intersection in one breath.
The bus was still nowhere to be seen, and as the drunkard hesitated which way to go, he suddenly realized that the silhouette of a person had appeared on the opposite side of the road at some point, and someone was waving at him!
”How did that thing get in front of me? He should be far away from me!”
Despair seemed to creep up with spiky thorns, the drunken man didn’t know what to do anymore, it seemed that no matter where he went he could see the man.
”What is to be done?” Thirty years of life experience could give him no help at this point; the man across the road was still waving at him, his blurred outline, his swaying arms, looking as if he were a pendulum representing death.
”Even if I flee to another street, this monster will probably still follow me, there’s no way out, fight it!”
The drunken man gritted his teeth and tightly grasped the bone chopping knife that he brought out from the kennel kitchen.
He hadn’t even killed a chicken in his long life, but at this moment, a cruel idea appeared in his mind.
”Calm down, don’t be afraid!” After staying in the blood mist for a long time, he would be affected by the blood mist, which the drunkard himself didn’t realize, the corners of his eyes were red and covered with blood, he looked as if he had stayed up for a long night, which was completely different from when he first got on the bus.
Because it was his first time, the drunkard’s heart was beating fast, he held the bone chopper in both hands, and with a very awkward posture, he walked towards the road next to him.
That humanoid silhouette was still waving at him, and the closer he got, the clearer the drunkard could see it.
”So familiar, I should have seen it somewhere, is he also a passenger in the car?”
The drunkard stepped out into the middle of the road, he shouted at the man, “Hey! What’s your name?”
There was no response, and the man’s hand waving became smaller, but he was suddenly walking towards him.
Blood-red city, an empty road, two people leaning closer and closer.
As the other man continued to get closer, that feeling of familiarity reappeared in the drunkard’s mind.
”It’s too similar, I must have seen him somewhere.”
The blood fog was thick, and the drunken man’s grip on his knife tightened as he moved his feet and finally walked through the fog to the man.
The other man was covered in blood, the small of his back was drenched, and there was a distinct black thin line where his legs and upper body were connected, as if his body had been separated and at this point was being put back together.
Seeing the man in this outfit, the drunken man had already had the heart to retreat, he felt very horrible, but the other party also brought him an inexplicable sense of familiarity, this person he must have seen somewhere before.
”Who are you?”
His mind was almost blank, the drunkard didn’t know why the mirror asked those three words, his hand with the knife had been trembling.
”This road splits in two, one for the living and one for the dead.” The strange man’s lowered head slowly raised, underneath his messy hair was a face identical to the drunkard’s, eyes full of malice and terror bulging outwards, his body seemed to be supported by bones as he lunged directly at the drunkard, his mouth ripped open to the sides, a sharp voice completely different from the drunkard’s came out from the middle of his throat, “I’m you, ah! The you who died a horrible death!”
The moment he saw that the monster looked just like himself, the drunkard’s mental defenses collapsed, and without any intention of resisting at all, he grabbed the knife and twisted his head to run.
This time he couldn’t even distinguish the direction, he felt like every nerve was about to snap, running wildly in a certain direction with all his might.
He didn’t know where the end was or where it was safe, he just ran as hard as he could.
His whole body ached, his lungs were on fire as if they had been burned, the world in his eyes slowly faded, and the drunk felt like he could no longer breathe.
”Can’t run anymore ……”
It was a world of utter despair, where the only choice a living person could make was to enter a different building and choose a different way to die.
”No one can survive here, it’s all going to die, everyone is going to die ……”
Consciousness already blurred, the drunkard fought for his last breath and ran into the nearest building.
The main color was white, and it seemed to be the only private hospital in Liwan Town, covering a small area, just a small three-story building.
……
”Dad ……”
”Shut up.” The middle-aged man gasped for air as he hid inside the safe passage, looking outside from time to time.
After a few minutes, no footsteps were heard, and only then did he lean against the wall and slowly sit down, “I’ve seen disobedient passengers before, being sent into the middle of a door by the people in the Underworld Building, and behind that door, just like this place, a fog of blood filled the air. This is not a place for the living to come to, it’s all because of that guy! I’m going to get him killed when I get the chance!”
The more he thought about it, the more angry he became, looking at the woman and the boy beside him was even more on fire, kicking the woman in the thigh: “Ever since I married you, this mute, I haven’t had a single good day!”
The woman’s mouth made a babbling sound, seemingly afraid of the man, she covered her leg and took a step back, but still protected in front of the little boy.
”Daddy ……”
”Don’t fucking call me, it’s like a debt collection ghost.” The middle-aged man looked around, his face wasn’t too good: “Just now, I was focusing on escaping, why did I run into the hospital without paying attention? This place is unlucky, when that monster is gone, we have to leave in a hurry.”
”Dad ……,” even though he was being noisy, the boy still kept calling out to his father.
After being called several times in a row, the middle-aged man finally realized that something was wrong, if it was usual, when he was angry, the boy would admit his mistake or be too scared to speak, not daring to resist at all.
”Called what?”
”There was a little brother just now, who put a piece of paper on your back.” The boy pointed at the middle-aged man’s back.
”On my back?!” The middle-aged man instantly exploded, reached out and touched his back, pulling off a case sheet.
The front of the sheet said that the patient was dead, while the back of the sheet had a few words written crookedly – “Come to me, huh?”
