Chapter 21: The Living Corpse

Xia Qi looked at the stone in his hand and was so worried, Leng Yue and Chu Mengqi were almost like this, and they were all anxious about Xia Qi's situation in their hearts. ●⌒,

"Just try the same method you just said, you throw the stone out, and then we will each run away and find a relatively hidden place to hide."

Leng Yue obviously felt that the more she waited, the more dangerous it became, so at this time she persuaded Xia Qi to throw away the stone in her hand.

However, after Chu Mengqi heard Leng Yue's proposal, she immediately shook her head and said in denial:

"This stone can't be lost, because it's not a game of hide and seek at all.

We've all seen it just now, and the ghost thing appears silently when it says it appears, which shows nothing more clearly, and there is no doubt that it can accurately grasp our whereabouts.

So even if you throw the stone out and hide it, then it will definitely be found only if you are still in this village. ”

Chu Mengqi's statement was agreed by Xia Qi, he laughed ugly at this time, and then echoed:

She thought the same as I thought, and the curse rules might not be a game of hide and seek. ”

Speaking of this, Xia Qi seemed to suddenly realize something, and listened to him continue:

"Did you find a problem, that is, the ghosts were able to find us, but they didn't kill us."

"I've found out a long time ago, but what does that mean?"

Chu Mengqi looked at Xia Qi, and was looking forward to Xia Qi's answer in her heart.

"I can only attribute this completely illogical situation to the fact that it is caused by this cursed rule.

It's like I told you before, I watched that horror movie, the ghost in the movie wants to kill people, and there are clear steps, that is, the order.

The curse in the film is triggered by a videotape in which the protagonist is cursed for watching the cursed tape, and then he receives a call from the ghost, eventually dying mysteriously seven days later.

Although the curse we are facing right now is real, not the one made up in the movies. But there are some things in common.

For example, when we enter the village, for example, I now get this stone from the ghost, which can be understood as one of the steps of cursing and killing. ”

Chu Mengqi and Leng Yue both nodded justifiably after hearing Xia Qi's analysis. But after that, Xia Qi smiled bitterly and said to the two:

"I'm sorry, but that's all I have to say, because I don't know what will happen in the future, and I can't guess what the stone is after it was put on my body. It's better to throw it out. ”

After Xia Qi finished speaking, he took out a cigarette from the cigarette case and put it in his mouth.

"Forget it, since we can't think of an answer, we don't need to think about it anymore, while nothing is happening right now, let's try to find a way out of here."

After Chu Mengqi saw that Xia Qi couldn't say anything more, he didn't plan to do anything like this, and planned to find a way to escape from Tongbei Village.

"Wait."

Just as Chu Mengqi and Leng Yue were about to look for it, Xia Qi suddenly stopped them.

"Did you think of anything again?"

"Let's not look for an exit yet, let's make sure the man who received the stone is dead."

"You mean Niu Ang?"

"I don't care if he's a pig or a dog. I just have to make sure he's still alive. ”

Xia Qi was not interested in what that person's name was, and Leng Yue also interjected at this time and said:

"If you fall under the curse, if you don't solve the curse, then it won't be useful to escape to the ends of the earth, because the object of the curse is not our **, but our soul."

"Soul? Thought? ”

Xia Qi repeated these two words several times in his mouth, and a guess was faintly born in his heart.

After returning the same route they had just fled from, they were back to where the monkey trio had been.

The monkey's eyes were deadly open, and his already venomous face was in the moment of death. A stiff layer of resentment froze.

This resentment was undoubtedly reserved for Xia Qi, but Xia Qi was not afraid to see his corpse at all, after all, no matter how vicious the monkey was before, he was just a dead corpse waiting to rot now.

And he saw a lot of dead bodies. It won't feel anything at all.

Speaking of which, the main reason why Xia Qi chose to get rid of the monkey so decisively was that he was very sure that if he didn't seize this opportunity to get rid of the monkey this time, then the monkey would definitely retaliate against him madly in the future.

He and the monkey have never had a confrontation head-on, but secretly he has ruined a lot of good things for the monkey, perhaps the two dead corpse keepers. It didn't matter in the monkey's heart, but this time they stood with Chu Mengqi, and it was obvious that they were doing it right with him.

And for a villain, a vicious and ruthless villain, he will never let go of anyone who opposes him.

Fortunately, Xia Qi is not a decent gentleman, and he never treats enemies softly, especially when he treats scum like monkeys, not only will he not be soft-hearted, but he will not even have a little guilt of killing in his heart.

But what made him feel strange was that the monkey had just been killed by him, but his corpse had already appeared densely covered with corpses, and even the appearance of his sharp-beaked monkey gills seemed to have undergone some subtle changes.

Chu Mengqi also discovered the changes in the monkey's corpse at this time, and saw that she was very unwilling to stomp her feet, and then scolded:

"This damn shit, this is just a clone!"

"What do you say? Is this just a doppelganger of him? ”

Xia Qi shuddered uncomfortably after hearing this, and asked in disbelief:

"And where is his body?"

"I'm afraid it's not here at all, but it's hiding somewhere, ready to take revenge on us."

Chu Mengqi smiled dryly, and then said lightly:

"But there's nothing to worry about, after all, it's still unknown if we'll get out of here alive."

"But that's not quite right, since this is just a doppelganger of the monkey, not his body, then why would he carry some magic props and some food close to him?"

"There are many kinds of doppelgangers, and if I'm guessing correctly, the monkey doppelganger should have been raised by him as a living corpse."

"What do you mean?" Xia Qi looked at Chu Mengqi puzzled.

"It means that this body is almost the same as the monkey's body, and like the monkey's body, it needs spell props for some physical strength, and it is also for recovery from injuries." (To be continued.) )
