this is not a joke

Chapter 347 The Goat
Old Peter's back quickly disappeared at the entrance of the passage.

On the top of Wei An's head, the black shadow that had escaped from him rushed quickly under the light of the candle, and he didn't even have time to rush over to kick the candle out.

The shadow stretched out its hand from above the cave wall, and Wei An immediately felt his hair being picked up, and the powerful force almost tore his scalp apart.

He immediately hugged the top of his hair with both hands, but he couldn't catch the shadow, but at this moment, his body was forcefully pulled from the ground.

During the struggle, Wei An saw himself floating in the air, and gradually stuck to the top of the tunnel wall.

At this moment, he suddenly gave up struggling and let the black shadow erode over.

In the next second, he suddenly said, "It's ok."

The black shadow that was spreading half of its own shadow onto Wei An's body was startled slightly after hearing Wei An's inexplicable words, and suddenly felt something was wrong.

A woman with a whole body in black suddenly appeared out of thin air, and was climbing right next to Wei An's shadow. It was unknown how long it had been here.

This woman is Xiaowan.

After appearing, Xiaowan grabbed the shadow's neck and moved very quickly, as if she had planned it for a long time. The moment she got close to the other's neck, her black arm completely transformed, as if it had also become a shadow. Ann's shadow is in the same space.

Black Shadow's throat was choked, and he immediately gave up attacking Wei'an, and began to struggle frantically.

Wei An lost his strength and fell from the top of the cave wall. He turned over and stood up, looking up at the top of his head.

At this time, Xiao Wan has stretched out her other hand to firmly control the black shadow. At the same time, Xiao Wan's body is completely illusory, just like the black shadow that can only be seen but cannot be touched.

This was the change that Wei An made when he saw Xiao Wan attacking him for the first time. He immediately thought of whether Xiao Wan could be used to deal with the shadow he had escaped, and now he saw that it was indeed effective.

Asking Xiaowan to help him get rid of the shadow was just a step in the plan. In fact, Wei An just got vaccinated in advance. He didn't know when the shadow would appear, but he didn't expect it to be the candle lit by old Peter. .

The black shadow struggled for a while before being torn to pieces by the powerful Xiao Wan, and the pieces melted into the wall and were never seen again.

Xiao Wan fell back to the ground, her extremely dark lips moved towards Wei An, because of the language barrier, Wei An didn't know what she was talking about.

But soon he guessed it, and looked down at his feet.

There is no shadow, even if the light of the candle not far away is constantly flickering, there is no shadow here.

This may mean that he will no longer have a shadow in the ghost story in the future, because the shadow has been alienated, and was torn to pieces by Xiao Wan just now under his nose.

"As long as there is a shadow after returning to our world, it doesn't matter whether there is a shadow or not in this strange story." Wei An replied.

Xiaowan nodded slightly as if she understood.

Wei An stood on the spot and pondered for a while. Just before Old Peter left, he said that he left himself to the shadow, which was his gratitude to the shadow.

It feels like a deal.

Could it be that to open the door of the passage, it is not enough to have only the "key", but also the help of this shadow?
"Xiao Wan, don't leave here, maybe I need your help later." Wei An said.

After saying that, he picked up the candle and walked deep into the passage.

Xiaowan's black shadow followed behind him.

One person and one strangeness soon came to a double door at the end of the passage. This door was made of unknown material. It looked like metal, but it felt like a kind of plastic.

But Wei An is sure that it is infinitely stronger than plastic.

There is a huge keyhole in front of this door, and observing the size and shape of the keyhole, it is actually exactly the same as the goat's hoof.

But when Wei An touched the keyhole, he found it was solid!That is to say, the hole looks like a sheep's hoof can be inserted in, but it just looks like it. In fact, there is no keyhole here, and the hole has been filled with the special material of this door.

Wei An turned to look at Xiao Wan.

Xiaowan understood and came over to take the sheep's hoof from him.

When she took the goat's hoof in her hand, Wei An found that the whole goat's hoof began to turn black immediately, but it wasn't that the body turned black, but that it turned into something similar to a shadow due to the illusion.

The sheep's hoof turned into a shadow-like thing, which was held by Xiaowan and inserted into the solid keyhole.

It turns out that the goat's hoof alone is not enough, you have to find a way to blur the key before you can use it. No wonder the cloaked man with festered cheeks has the goat's hoof but has never used it.

The sheep's hoof key, the shadow, and the virtualization all imply some kind of connection!
"Don't move yet!" Wei An suddenly reminded.

At this time, the sheep's hoof was only halfway into the keyhole, and Xiaowan turned to look at him, a little puzzled.

Wei An said, "We'll wait until Zhou Xin and my other two friends come over. You should take the goat's trotter and hide it yourself until we come over."

Xiao Wan nodded, and after taking out the goat's hooves, her whole figure quickly faded, and she hid somewhere in the wall of the passage.

Wei An blew out the candle, left the passage quickly, and went to the entrance of the passage to look outside for a while, but he didn't see the patrolman, nor did he see Old Peter and Zheng Yu.

According to his observation and speculation just now, Old Peter and Zheng Yu, who had eaten animal meat for so long, probably could not resist the temptation of these fat sheep. Perhaps after seeing the mature animal meat, they would have entered the black umbrella and left The purpose of this place has been temporarily forgotten, otherwise, what would be the effect of feeding them so much animal meat for a long time?
When I came to the room closest to the entrance of the passage, I could hear voices that did not belong to humans, which indicated that there might also be a fat goat like that just now.

Wei An quietly lurked at the door, stretched out his hand and gently pushed the door, and the unlocked doors in the inner streets opened in response.

It was dark inside because the windows were covered, so I couldn't see what was there.

However, there was a lot of fecal stench, and everyone who had entered the pigsty was deeply touched by this smell, and Wei An felt the same at this moment.

At this moment, there was movement from across the street. Hearing the footsteps that were not deliberately concealed, it seemed that the patrol had returned.

Wei An had just opened the door at this time, and it was too late to return to the entrance of the passage, so he simply stepped into the door in front of him, and closed the door gently behind him.

The stench of feces in his nose became more intense, almost making him vomit.

Wei An stood at the door and did not dare to move carelessly. After listening to the movement outside, he found that the footsteps seemed to have stopped outside the door of a room across the street, and did not come over.

Apparently the room across the street was where the patrolmen usually lived.

Wei An didn't dare to move around, he had to make sure that if the person on the other side wanted to come over, he would have time to hide, but now his feet seemed to be full of feces and urine, and he stepped on them wet, so he couldn't draw the invisibility spell at all.

But after listening quietly for a while, when the footsteps of the patrolman sounded again, they left from the same way they came from just now.

Wei An was relieved a little, and stood behind the door to check the live fat sheep in front of him, and soon he realized that something was wrong.

Lifting up the thick cloth on the curtains, looking through the moonlight, he found that these goats seemed to have strange shapes. When he took a closer look, Wei An suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.

The ones lying on the ground were all fat goats with broken legs, some were white and some were black, but these were not goats in the strict sense, because most of the goats had grown human bodies!
Some have a sheep's head and a human body, some have a human head and a sheep's body, not only that, but some of the sheep have clearly visible human bodies, and their bodies are covered with a lot of rough hair, lying on the ground like real goats.

At this moment, Wei An heard noises coming from the inner room. He walked carefully to the door of the inner room and found that the inner room was larger. There were only four or five strange-shaped goats lying outside, but there were nearly ten goats lying inside.

"Wei... An!"

A hoarse and familiar voice sounded, and Wei An immediately took a step back in fright, trying to open his eyes but still couldn't see clearly because it was too dark inside.

He carefully lit the candle in his hand again, covered half of the light with his clothes, and then took a closer look.

I saw Old Peter lying on the ground. His upper body was still the same, even with clothes on, but his legs on the lower body had become extremely thick, his pants were torn, black hair had grown, and his shoes had fallen off. There was a layer of skin on the soles of his feet that seemed to be scabbing over.

"What—"

Under Old Peter, another half-man, half-goat figure screamed at this moment.
