I Can Rewind Chapter 238: A woman with a lantern (1)
Because he seldom goes out at night, Yan Junze has never brought an umbrella, but when he came out this time, he knew in advance that Mojia Village was shrouded in fog, so Yan Junze didn't think about Fang Ning at all.
At this moment, I didn't expect to have a trick in this matter.
Looking at the thinning fog in front of him, he was about 300 meters away from the Merlin. Although the distance was not far, it was troublesome to get there.
Looking around, if you don't take a straight line, you can get there by taking a circuitous and outflanking route, but it just takes a little more time.
As long as you go to a place with a lot of fog, you can always reach the Merlin in the end.
Yan Junze rested for a while, looked left and right, the backpack on his body was not too big, if he took it off and put it on his head, it would not be able to completely block his shadow.
If you take off your coat and use it to cover the top of your head, you will also inadvertently reveal your shadow.
After thinking about it, he still took off his coat, put his backpack back on his back, and propped his coat on top of his head with both hands. He saw that there was more fog in that area, and walked over cautiously and quickly.
Hiding in the mist like this, approaching Merlin little by little, sometimes moving sideways, and sometimes walking diagonally.
A few times, the shadow was exposed under the moonlight, and Fang Ning's arm could be seen reappearing, but Yan Junze kept paying attention to the movement, and immediately rushed forward and hid in the fog.
It only took a few minutes for Merlin to enter, but it took him about half an hour to finally rush in.
Take off the coat above the head, look up at the moon covered by the leaves, and there is also fog in the forest, double blocking, finally escaped Fang Ning.
However, Yan Junze remembered that this place was the Mei Lin mentioned in the task of "The Woman Carrying the Lantern".
The task tells that Ning Ji, the lantern girl, went out to look for her husband who left home because of a quarrel with her, but died outside, so her obsession is to carry the lantern all the time and still look for her husband everywhere.
This woman has two forms, one is that the lantern in her hand is white, at this time she should be a normal monster, but when the lantern turns red, Ning Ji will change into a very scary monster .
Well, that is, the resentful woman type.
So after entering the Merlin, Yan Junze's spirit was always tense and did not relax.
Pay attention to whether there is a gap on the top of the head, and whether the Lantern Girl will appear.
However, Lantern Girl's target should be very big. If she wants to appear, he won't lose sight of her.
Mission reminder, you have to help Lantern Girl find her husband. If this is the case, then I have to talk to Lantern Girl, otherwise, this old ghost who is at least 800 years old, all historical data have long been impossible to verify.
Yan Junze has never been afraid of conversations with weirdness. His rich experience in conversations with weirdness is accumulated after completing the task of [Wine Red High Heels].
When Jian Tong talked to him, he went around in various ways, but in the end Yan Junze solved his obsession. Uh, although the hug behind made Yan Junze a little sick.
This plum grove is not too big, and Yan Junze could vaguely see the houses opposite after passing through the plum grove not long after he left.
But at this time, he suddenly froze for a moment, and then smiled wryly.
As far as he could see, after passing through the Merlin and entering the area of the village to the west, there was even less fog, otherwise he wouldn't have seen the opposite house at a glance.
If that's the case, unless you stay in Merlin all the time, you won't be able to go to the opposite side at all.
After thinking for a while, Yan Junze looked up at the branches here, took out a multi-purpose saber from his backpack, and prepared to cut off the branches and leaves nearby to build a simple moon umbrella , propped up to those houses on the opposite side.
Looking around, after entering the Merlin, I haven't seen the figure of Lantern Girl, maybe this woman is just wandering around the forest, not necessarily in the middle of the forest.
Yan Junze chose a tree to climb up. Usually he doesn't climb trees very much, so his movements are very awkward. It took a lot of effort to climb a little bit. When the utility saber was about to cut a branch, he glanced down.
Because of this position, he can see far away from a high position. Standing here, he can see something strange on the ground not far away.
The fog outside is thinner, so the moonlight allows him to see a farther place, less than a hundred meters from here, in another direction near the edge of Merlin, the ground slopes down, as if there is a river ditch there.
Yan Junze's eyes lit up slightly, he gave up looking at the branches, climbed back to the ground, chose the direction he saw just now, and walked quickly.
Soon he discovered that a river ditch had been dug on the edge of the Merlin.
The ditch is not very deep, but even if I stand in it and stand up completely, I will be blocked by the slopes on both sides, and the moon cannot shine on me.
In this way, jump directly into the ditch, walk along the direction of the other side of the ditch, and you will soon enter the village to the west.
No more improvised moon umbrellas.
Yan Junze smiled and looked around, but still did not see the Lantern Girl.
At this moment, he doesn't have to complete the task of [Woman with a Lantern] immediately, as long as he can go to see if Zhang Xiaomo's side is safe as soon as possible, this task can also be completed when the situation stabilizes, or when he returns .
Besides, Yan Junze doesn't know where Lantern Girl is now, so he doesn't want to waste any more time here.
He jumped into the ditch without saying a word. The ditch was almost dry, only the soles of his feet were covered with water, and the bottom of the ditch was hardened by cement, so there was no mud sticking to the soles of his shoes.
Yan Junze looked up and saw that there was no moonlight shining in, so he turned on the flashlight and quickly walked to the other side of the river.
This place is an excellent passage for him at the moment, so Yan Junze almost trotted all the way in order to regain so much time lost just now, and soon ran to the middle of the river ditch and the village to the west.
At this moment, he slammed on the brakes, quickly turned off the flashlight in his hand, and cast his gaze at a distance about ten meters away from him.
There, a woman wearing a white ancient long dress is squatting on the ground, and a white lantern with a fire inside is placed aside. The woman's hands seem to be planning something on the ground.
Yan Junze almost held his breath for a moment, and with just one glance, he recognized the woman in front of him as definitely the Lantern Girl.
Unexpectedly, Lantern Girl was not in the Merlin, but walked out along the river ditch in the same way as her own.
And looking at the woman squatting there, it seems that she is digging the soil on the rock wall of the river ditch.
The task said that she has been looking for her husband-in-law, has she already found out? The body of my husband is in the soil of the rock wall?
If this is the case, Yan Junze plans to sing cool.
If Lantern Girl completes her obsession, he will not be able to accept this task.
But the river ditch in front of me is very narrow, and Lantern Girl is squatting there, almost blocking most of the passage, and if she wants to get across, she has to raise one foot.
But this is bound to disturb Lantern Girl.
Yan Junze thought about it for a while, and saw that Lantern Girl stopped digging the soil, her whole body leaned forward, and after a while, she stood up slowly holding something in her hands.
Yan Junze hid himself at the corner of the river, poked his head out, and watched the scene quietly.
This woman's figure is very slender. Although she is covered by a white dress, it can be seen that she should have been a great beauty in her lifetime.
However, today's Yan Junze has a completely different definition of the word "beauty". He is very clear that no matter how beautiful a woman was in life, her face after death may scare the whole street to death.
The Lantern Girl didn't reach out to grab the lantern on the ground, she just turned around and stared straight at the thing she was holding in her hands.
Yan Junze also looked at the things in her hand for the first time.
This is a skull. It has been a few years old, and the surface has turned yellow and is covered with mud.
"She really found it by herself." Yan Junze felt a little regretful.
The next second, he looked up at the woman's face and was shocked.
Unexpectedly, the lantern girl in a white dress turned out to have a delicate face. In today's terms, she is a beauty without makeup.
Although her hair is disheveled like a woman with a back body, her black hair is smooth and not stained with even a little dirt. At this moment, there are two strands of long hair hanging on both sides of her cheeks. For the feeling of heaven and man.
"Damn it! It's the first time I've seen something like this!" Yan Junze was amazed.
The appearance of this Lantern Girl actually made him overturn the idea that weirdness is ugly and frightening.
However, Yan Junze was taken aback by the next scene. He saw the skull in the hands of the Lantern Lady suddenly squeezed ~IndoMTL.com~ to shatter it, and then quietly picked up the skull on the ground. The lanterns came slowly in the direction of Yan Junze.
"It turns out...that skeleton is not her husband." Yan Junze reacted after being stunned. He immediately wanted to back up, but after thinking about it, he would still be seen by Lantern Girl when he went back, so he might as well just stand there. Here, play by ear.
The Lantern Girl walked very steadily, her upper body hardly moved, but her feet in her skirts walked forward very steadily, and soon approached Yan Junze.
Yan Junze looked down and found that Lantern Girl was walking almost suspended in the air, the toes of her feet only touched the ground occasionally, and the lantern was held in front of her, as if she was being led by the lantern. Her walking movements seemed full of weirdness, but also revealed an indescribable sense of elegance.
The Lantern Girl walked to the corner of Hegou, and bumped into Yan Junze.
At close range, Yan Junze could see her face more clearly. Under the light of the lantern, it didn't look weird, but a living person.
The lantern girl raised her eyes slightly, glanced at him, and did not speak. During the process, she still did not stop on her feet and walked forward.
Close approach and eye contact, Yan Junze's heart was pounding, he didn't know when this woman would go crazy. Unexpectedly, the other party passed him by the wrong body, and nothing happened.
After the lantern girl walked over, Yan Junze's nervousness calmed down a little, and he secretly wanted to complete the task at this moment. While thinking, he stepped forward.
At this moment, Lantern Girl suddenly stopped, turned around with the lantern in her hand, and said to Yan Junze, "Please wait."
Yan Junze was taken aback for a moment, then turned around and looked at her warily.
"Excuse me, have you seen my husband?" The lantern girl asked.
