Chapter 26 You Are Like A Friend Of Me

"How are you all, I'm here again."

In the market place of Silent Village, a slightly excited voice suddenly sounded.

Several sculpture-like figures turned their heads in unison, their necks twisted strangely, and they made a "click" sound of bones rubbing against each other. Their faces were blue and gray, and their eyes were hollow and terrifying.

There was a cold smile on the face, as if mocking the ignorance of the person who made the sound, but after seeing the person coming, the expression of these figures changed, and they scattered in all directions as if fleeing.

The fruit seller scrambled into the small courtyard behind her, and hurriedly closed the courtyard door. In her panic, she could vaguely see various fruit trees planted in the courtyard, and a pile of corpses piled up crookedly in the corner, as if she would be killed at any moment. become the nourishment of fruit trees;
The middle-aged butcher, with one hand in his pocket, hurriedly put the strangely colored meat from the stall into the barrel, and before he fled, he took away half of the human head on the chopping board in his arms;
The fish seller put on a deep black raincoat to cover up his incomplete body, and even found some straw to fill it;

The little girl with most of her head rotten curled up in an empty corner, the eyeless girl hurriedly put on her sunglasses, and the old man covered in corpse spots powdered himself while running...

A group of weird and grotesque monsters acted in unison, trying their best to disguise themselves as normal people, as if they were afraid of being discovered by something.

When Bai Mo walked into the market with a smile, he only saw empty stalls and scattered sundries scattered on the ground.

The smile on his face gradually solidified.

"Is everything closed?"

He scratched his head in doubt, looked up at the dark sky, and thought that it was really not suitable to continue setting up stalls in this weather, but why did everyone seem to be in a hurry to close their stalls...

He felt a little regretful, it seemed that his desire to drink fish soup tonight was in vain, so he could only get something to eat... It is impossible to go fishing behind the cemetery, right?

Bai Mo was about to leave, but suddenly heard a strange movement behind him, like the sound of metal rubbing against each other, oppressive and heavy.

At the same time, in some unseen corners, one after another shadowy figures seemed to have sensed it, and they no longer dared to have the slightest thought of staying and observing.

Bai Mo looked around puzzled, but there was nothing.

He turned his head and saw a shirtless white-haired man walking not far behind him.

The man was carrying a huge and heavy chain, and his body was full of scars. He could barely see a piece of good flesh. His eyes were covered by a dark red cloth. The big black mask makes it impossible to see his face clearly.

Seeing the injury on the opponent's body, Bai Mo was taken aback for a moment, then his expression changed drastically, and he hurried over and asked, "Brother, what's your situation? Do you want me to call an ambulance for you?"

Without waiting for the other party to answer, he hurriedly took out his mobile phone, but found that there was no signal on the mobile phone, no matter what, it showed that there was no network, and he was immediately anxious.

He could only watch helplessly as the man's wound continued to overflow with blood, flowing to the ground.

He couldn't explain why he was so anxious, he just felt inexplicably heavy, and his mood was even more irritable than ever.

The man's eyes were clearly covered, but he seemed to be able to see. Without saying a word, he stared at Bai Mo's position for a long time, and suddenly said, "You're here."

Bai Mo swears that he has never heard such a gentle male voice, it sounds like a spring breeze, and he has a very strange idea, he always feels that this voice does not seem to come from the man's mouth, but more like it directly from his heart .

"You know me?" He was puzzled.

"So that's the case, it seems that it's not the time yet."

Seeing his blank face, the man said to himself.

Bai Mo was confused, and hurriedly asked, "When will it be?"

After a long silence, the man did not answer.

"You go."

"Let's go? But your injuries..."

The man shook his head: "It's all minor injuries."

Bai Mo didn't think that the other party's body was a minor injury, but no matter how much he persuaded, the man was unwilling to go to the hospital with him for treatment.

"I will go to the hospital myself." The man said calmly.

Seeing that he couldn't be persuaded, Bai Mo had no choice but to ask another question: "What's the matter with the chains on your body?"

"Chain?" The man shook his body, and the chain on his body made a rattling sound. He was silent for a moment, then shook his head and said, "You should go."

"What about you, where are you going?" Bai Mo couldn't help asking, he thought this person was too strange.

"Wait."

"Wait for what?"

"Wait until that time comes."

"..."

Bai Mo didn't want to leave just now, he wanted to pull out the black thorn on the man's shoulder blade.

"Who did this?"

The man seemed to be smiling, and replied, "Myself."

"You yourself?" Bai Mo was taken aback.

"correct."

The man refused his help, and barely answered his question, and suddenly took out a tattered doll dog from behind, "This is for you."

Bai Mo took the doll dog, took a closer look, and asked curiously, "Why did you give me this?"

"I don't have anything else on me. If you don't need it, give it to someone else." The man said.

"I mean...do you know me, that's why you gave me something?" Bai Mo asked.

The man was silent for a while, then replied: "I just think that you are very similar to a friend of mine."

He didn't want to say any more, and urged Bai Mo to leave again.

When Bai Mo left, he saw the man leaning against the wall, motionless.

He only felt an inexplicable emotional surge, and he was about to go away when he took a step forward.

"I have something else I want to ask you."

The man's voice sounded again, it was clear that the two had been separated by a long distance, but it still sounded so clear.

This guy can eat just by his voice... Bai Mo thought to himself.

"You ask."

He turned around, only to see that the man was still maintaining the posture just now, like a sculpture in the dark, never moving a bit.

"What time is it now?"

Bai Mo took out his phone and took a look: "Five thirty-seven."

"I mean, how many years is it now?"

"Twenty..." Bai Mo said, his expression suddenly became dazed, looking at the year on the screen that did not match his memory, he was a little flustered for a while.

After a while, he hesitated, "I don't know."

"do not know?"

"do not know."

The man was silent, as if smiling, and urged: "Let's go, go home."

Bai Mo took the doll dog with him and left the village in a daze, feeling inexplicably complicated.

The man just stood there quietly, watching him go.

After a while, he took off his mask and threw it aside, revealing a mouth sewn up with black thread.

Until night fell, he never stood still, as if he had merged with the darkness.

Finally, the sound of iron chains rubbing against each other sounded in the darkness, and then gradually disappeared in the distance.

Silent village once again became silent.
