Chapter 8 The Strange Tree

Yang Jian quickened his pace and moved on in the darkness.

   "Tap, step~!"

   But the clear footsteps behind him still followed closely.

   No matter how Yang Jian speeds up, he can't get rid of the footsteps, and as time goes by, the footsteps are getting closer and closer.

   At first, I just felt that the footsteps were only five or six meters away behind him.

   But then the sound of footsteps felt about three meters behind him.

   went further, the sound of footsteps almost finished one meter behind him.

   Yang Jian squeezed the phone tightly with his palm. He didn't dare to turn off the screen, because he was ready to open the audio file at any time.

  If that ghost really attacks him again.

   The knock on the door from this audio file is the only way to save his life.

   was tight, ready to fight off the ghost at any time.

   However, things did not go as Yang Jian had expected. The sound of footsteps behind him was always one meter away from him, and he neither left nor continued to approach.

   And whether it is Yang Jian speeding up or slowing down, the footsteps still maintain this delicate distance.

   "Is it possible that the thing is waiting for the battery of my mobile phone to run out?"

   Suddenly, Yang Jian's face changed suddenly, and his heart became more and more disturbed when he looked at the phone's less than 10% power.

   If that is the case, it is only a matter of time before you die in the hands of that ghost.

   It is impossible to leave here alive.

   Look at the battery on the phone screen again: 7%

   "If the battery is less than 5%, it is possible to shut down at any time."

   Yang Jian is a little regretful now, playing around with his mobile phone during the day and playing with it ran out of battery.

   "But now is not the time to think about this. If I don't want to die here, I have to run out of this ghost place before my phone runs out, otherwise..."

   As soon as he gritted his teeth, he started to run.

   ran as fast as possible in the direction where the ticking dripping sound came from.

   "Step on, step on~!"

   The footsteps behind him followed closely, lingering.

   Yang Jian could even feel the cold air coming from behind him, as well as the faint smell of corpses.

   The ghost followed like a shadow, chasing after him.

   As he ran with all his strength, the sound of the dripping water was getting closer and closer to him.

   But at the moment, the phone screen is automatically lit up.

   Electricity: 5%.

   The above display: To prevent the phone from turning off automatically, please charge it in time.

"damn it."

   Yang Jian panted, sweating all over, he glanced at it, and his heart became more alarmed.

   Although he was tired, he didn't dare to stop.

   To stop means to wait for death.

   continued gritted his teeth and ran.

   suddenly, a faint ray of light appeared in the darkness in front of him.

The story has been taken without consent; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.

   The faint red light is particularly clear in the dark, like a ray of sparks in the night, although faint, it is particularly conspicuous.

"That is....."

   Yang Jian's eyes lit up, and his heart was ecstatic, as if he had seen the hope of living.

   But at this time, the phone in his hand vibrated and the screen turned on again.

   The above display: automatic shutdown.

  Although there is still a little battery, the phone has already started to shut down forcibly.

   However, it was the moment when the screen of the phone was completely turned off.

   Yang Jian felt a chilly breath coming from behind him, and the sound of footsteps quickly approached...The thing came over instantly from a distance of one meter away.

   is behind.

   Although he could not see in the darkness, he could feel a cold, pale palm stretched out, passed his ears, and grabbed it toward his neck.

   No matter how he runs, he can't get rid of this palm.

   "Do you want to die here..." Yang Jian already felt that his cold fingers had touched the skin on his neck.

  The cold like ice cubes spread all over the body in an instant, causing goose bumps.

   A faint corpse smell filled the tip of the nose.

   There is no way to go.

   The red light in the darkness became more and more conspicuous.

   suddenly, the footsteps behind him stopped and disappeared in an instant. The cold palm just touched Yang Jian's neck but suddenly froze without pinching it.

   Yang Jian, who ran forward a few steps, felt that the thing behind him pulled away.

   It seems that the ghost did not continue to chase him.

   "Just now, what happened..."

   ran a little further, Yang Jian really couldn't run, he stopped and gasped for breath, his whole body was cold and sweaty, and he was still in shock.

   Recall the thrilling scene before.

  He can be sure that he can survive definitely not because of his fate, but because the ghost gave up chasing him, but why?

   listened left and right.

   The footsteps that followed did not appear again.

   I seem to be temporarily safe.

"Forget it, since the thing hasn't chased it over, it means that I am fine now, and I must leave here as soon as possible anyway." Yang Jian panted, he raised his head to look at the position of the red light, and then left. past.

   Soon, he came to this red light-emitting position.

   "Light bulb? Glass beads?" Yang Jian was shocked, he couldn't see what it was in the darkness.

   He tried to reach out and touch the place where the red light was emitting.

   "Ah~!"

  In an instant, Yang Jian felt a sharp tingling pain, and he quickly retracted his palm.

   "This, this is not a lamp."

   However, what scared him was that he saw the red glass ball sticking to his hand, and it was still wriggling crazily, and he got a hole and went into the back of his hand.

   Cold, painful, instantly enveloped the whole body.

   Yang Jian fell to the ground, the pain made him twitch all over, like cramps and skin, crushing his soul.

   But in the painful struggle, Yang Jian found that there was a change in his surroundings.

   The darkness surrounding him began to recede quickly.

   can see clearly...

   Everything around you can be seen clearly.

   It seems that he has the ability of night vision all of a sudden.

   The pain comes fast, and it goes fast.

   Not three minutes of struggling, Yang Jian felt that the pain began to recede like a tide.

   He was lying on the ground almost collapsed, gasping for breath, his muscles were still twitching slightly because of the pain just now.

"what is the problem."

   After a while, Yang Jian had recovered a little bit before sitting up, struggling to escape.

   However, when he saw everything around him clearly, his eyes suddenly shrank, and a look of horror appeared on his face.

   There is a tree in front of my eyes.

   A pale tree that grows like a bone.

There were tattered human skins, dirty cloth strips, mummy heads, and weird paper streamers hanging on the tree... But what made him even more frightened was that there was a foot lying on the trunk of this tree. A person who is four meters tall.

   No, not human.

   is a shadow, a shadow that looks like a person, as if it were condensed from darkness.

   The tall black shadow was motionless, hanging upside down on the tree, head facing the ground.

I looked carefully, but found that there was an adult arm-thick iron nail nailed to the black shadow's chest. No, it should be a coffin nail commonly used by the people. I don't know how many years the coffin nail has been nailed to the tree. It is rusty. Stained, as if about to break.

   "Tick, tick~!"

   Black blood is flowing out of the place where the black shadow is nailed.

   Along the way before, the sound of dripping water in the darkness turned out to be this.

   But when Yang Jian saw the head of this huge black shadow,suddenly felt cold.

   The black shadow's head has no face outline, only a notch. The notch seems to be the position of the black shadow's eyes, and the red light seems to be its eyeballs.

   Yang Jian looked at the back of his hand.

   "Guru~!"

   The cracked skin and flesh were stretched open, and a red eyeball appeared after turning a few times, and at the same time a strange perspective appeared in his mind.

   It seems that an eye really grows on the back of the hand, and the picture of this eye can be conveyed to my mind.

   weird, weird, or an unknown ability.

   But Yang Jian looked at the weird bone tree, the human skin on it, the corpses, and the huge black shadow nailed to the trunk.

   "It's weird here. No matter what the tree is, it's better to leave as soon as possible."

   He vaguely felt that the huge black shadow nailed to the tree was more terrifying than the old man.

   And he also seemed to be aware that the hollow eyes of the mummy hanging on the tree seemed to be watching him in secret.

   There is a creepy feeling.

   He looked at the exposed red eyes on the back of his hand, a haze enveloped his heart, lingering.

   It's just that I don't care about this right now.

   The darkness around it seemed to have faded, and Yang Jian could clearly see everything around him.

   This is a dim, endless space, with nothing but this dead tree.

   is like a different world, not a school that I know well at all.

   But when he looked back, he could see a door in the direction he was coming from. It was... the door of the toilet.

   It turned out that the door was so close to me, I hadn't noticed it before.
