Chapter 618: The World of Hometown
A tube of blood went down.
Heigu's eyes suddenly became much clearer.
But drawing blood could only strengthen Heigu's will, but could not weaken the body-stealing evil spirit in her body, so Heigu just raised her claws and let Fan Qingyue go, while she herself stood in the same place, with a secret battle going on in her mind.
Wu Xian, who had just driven away the ghost-faced man, spat out the dirty blood into the trash can, rinsed his mouth with coriander lemon tea, and then put his hand on the dog's head.
"Think, think hard."
"Think about what you went through before you met me."
"Your world is occupied by a body snatcher. You can only survive in the crack of a huge door. Every day, you wander in the illusions of different people's possession, hoping to wake them up and save them from the pain of possession."
"You have fought against the Body Snatchers countless times. No one knows their methods better than you. Think about your friends who have been harmed by the Body Snatchers."
With the guidance of Wu Xian's words, Heigu's eyes became clearer. A line of tears flowed from her red eye. The redness gradually faded, and Heigu seemed to be exhausted. She lay on the ground, gasping with her tongue sticking out.
After a moment, Heigu turned around and looked at Wu Xian with gratitude.
But I happened to see Wu Xian quietly put away the two needles that were full of blood. While trying the talk therapy, Wu Xian also used bloodletting therapy on them...
So, thanks so much.
After Heigu recovered, a long sigh was heard from outside the door.
"I have been staying in Bingzhou for ten years, and I miss Xianyang day and night. I cross the Sanggan River for no reason, but I still think Bingzhou is my hometown."
"sad……"
The strange noises gradually disappeared and the room returned to silence again. If nothing unexpected happened, there should be no danger tonight.
Fan Qingyue stared at Wu Xian's face: "I saw that thing, poking your face with a knife, you..."
Wu Xian wiped the blood off and looked at himself in the mirror for a while. "Well... it's not a big problem. If it was an ordinary person, these few cuts would have disfigured him. But I happen to have thick skin, so it should heal normally in two days."
After a brief chat, the three returned to their original positions, but after the excitement just now, no one could sleep.
Wu Xian lay on the bed, staring at the ceiling.
The attack that just happened revealed too much information, and the most important source of information was the strange sound outside the door.
That voice definitely did not come from Mei Guifen and Zhao Qingguo, but from some other existence. He just asked Fan Qingyue, and found out that only he and Heigu could hear that voice!
Perhaps the owner of the voice is the culprit of the suicide incident of the displaced people that Wu Xianlai is looking for in the experience center!
The strange voice spoke twice.
The first time he spoke, Wu Xian understood the nature of the evil attacks at the experience center at night.
All the attacks that have occurred so far are not simply attacks by evil spirits, but rather an attempt by the lost people to establish connections with their destroyed hometowns.
Those evil spirits grew out of the bodies of the people who had lost their homes!
The evil spirits from the hometown will transform the people who have lost their hometown into evil spirits in some way.
The homes of the lost people are all destroyed worlds. The destruction here does not mean that the world itself has disappeared, but that the human beings in the world have become extinct.
Perhaps only by turning into a ghost can I truly return to my hometown.
Zhou Caiwei was dismembered, Hao Yulan was wrapped in hair, and Heigu was possessed by a ghost. These were all rituals that transformed people into evil spirits!
To turn Wu Xian into an evil spirit, two steps are required: cutting with a knife and smearing with blood. Only after these two steps are completed will Wu Xian be turned into an evil spirit.
I'm afraid that the only thing the ghost-faced man has to complete today is the knife cutting step, and tomorrow it will be the blood smearing step. However, due to Wu Xian's resistance, the knife cutting step has not been completed. I don't know what will happen tomorrow.
The strange voice spoke a second time and recited a poem.
The poem means that Wu Xian and his companions have been away from their hometown for a long time and always said that they wanted to return to their hometown, but now they regard the real world as their hometown.
This should be an expression of disappointment with Wu Xian and Heigu's resistance.
There was no sense of malice in that thing's voice. What role was he playing?
If Wu Xian's inferences were all correct, then the scene Wu Xian saw in his dream really came from the world Wu Xian was born in. So that dream made Wu Xian reminisce several times.
The scene in the dream is the real scene of Wu Xian’s hometown.
In fact, Wu Xian had flashed a similar scene in his mind when he was in another blessed land before. In that scene, the young Wu Xian was hugging his legs, hiding pitifully in an abandoned building, with a huge living moon floating outside.
But before it was just a brief glimpse, but this time it was particularly clear!
It’s a pity that the ghost-faced man’s stage is in the wilderness instead of in the city, which prevents Wu Xian from seeing more.
Wu Xian couldn't suppress his curiosity.
What is the world like in my hometown?
Before it was destroyed, did Wu Xian's parents and relatives and friends still exist in that world?
Was it because Wu Xian was gifted that he was able to survive to the end, or was it because of the sacrifices of others that gave Wu Xian the chance to survive?
These chaotic thoughts made Wu Xian feel mixed emotions. Since he became a family member, his attachment to his hometown has actually decreased a lot. After all, he can find the feeling of hometown in every blessed place.
But when Wu Xianzhen saw the pictures of that world, he inevitably developed a strong curiosity.
This curiosity.
Let Wu Xian decide to take the risk and stay in the experience center to make this matter come to an end.
……
This night.
Wu Xian tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep.
When he came downstairs to eat in the morning, the dark circles under his eyes were as dark as they had been before he became a dependent.
After going downstairs, Wu Xian saw Zhao Qingguo, Mei Guifen, Hao Yulan and Zhou Caiwei sitting next to the restaurant downstairs.
Zhou Caiwei had clearly moved out last night, so why was she in such a hurry to come here this morning?
As soon as Wu Xian sat down, the four people at the table cast concerned glances at him.
Zhao Qingguo said in a deep voice: "We all heard about what happened yesterday. Your return to your hometown was not smooth. You must be feeling very painful now."
Wu Xian touched his face and told his four family members about what happened last night. He did not mention the fight against the evil spirits, but only said that the two evil spirits interfered with each other and disappeared into the darkness together.
In his description, he emphasized the fear he felt, but Zhou Caiwei and the other three only cared about the disruption of Wu Xian's journey home.
Zhou Caiwei smiled and said, "I came here today specifically to help you in the evening so that you can return home smoothly."
Wu Xianyan said insincerely: "Then I really want to thank you..."
"It's okay, as family, we should help each other."
Mei Guifen suddenly took out her mobile phone, opened a video and handed it to Wu Xian.
"By the way, there is another good news. Your brother sent me a video this morning. He has returned to his hometown."
"Look, how happy he is smiling!"
"His family members in Fuyuan City were so moved that they cried."
The video shows an ordinary house. A man is hanging upside down from the beam with dozens of iron hooks hanging on his body. The sharp hooks pierce deeply into his flesh. Blood flows in streams, forming strange lines on his body.
Especially on his face, there were densely packed small iron hooks, which made him maintain a strange smile on his face even though he was dead.
Below the man, his two former family members were being pinched by his neck and pinned to the ground. They were trembling with tears streaming down their faces. Although they were not dead, they were frightened to the point of almost losing consciousness...
