Chapter 11: Barking Dogs
Dong Xie could really say that his heart was trembling at this time. "Sure enough …… it's the same as I thought!" His Bloodletter was a horror movie, Ah Ning's Bloodletter was a horror novel, would there be a horror game in this future? Although his worldview had been constantly refreshed after entering the apartment, the situation at hand still made him fully realize what was truly bizarre and unpredictable! "Black Shadows ……" Dong Xie has been chasing "Black Shadow" from the release of the first chapter until now, opened the automatic subscription on the shelves, and threw out countless recommendations and monthly votes, not to mention the various rewards. The black shadow, a horrible evil spirit that runs through the whole book but has a very sparse role, makes Dong Xie, who also creates horror novels, feel incomparably chilled! How could he possibly be assured of letting Ah Ning face such a terrifyingly evil and ferocious spirit! A minute passed, and the airbags began to contract. Dong Xie burrowed into the car, looked at the redness of his forehead on the inner rearview mirror, let out a bitter smile, and picked up his cell phone to take a fresh look. Currently continuing towards the back, it was the male protagonist who had left the Yuan family's abandoned mansion and was discovered by the villagers of Yan Shen Village. After that, some people realized that he looked particularly similar to Yuan Hua, the owner of the Yuan Family when he was young. "Speaking of which, that time was also ……" Dong Xie recalled that before, the chapters would suddenly change, and he had thought that it was Deep Sea making changes in the author's background. But …… what if it wasn't Deep Sea's changes? He put down his cell phone and proceeded to start the car's GPS navigator and began to reverse. When it was back on the mountain road, Dong Xie slowly stepped on the gas again. "I really didn't expect the road conditions to Black Island County to be as bad as this ……" At this point, he flipped the chapter to the chapter where the Black Shadow made his second appearance, and let the book-listening software continue to read aloud. "Yuan Ming was walking on the mountain road, and following him was Fourth Uncle's family's Wang Cai. These two months of living in Yan Shen Village always made him feel as if it was a lifetime ago, with no sense of reality at all. The villagers were deeply favored by his father Yuan Hua back then, so they were especially kind to him. However, he didn't understand, was he really Yuan Ming? Where has he been living for the past eighteen years, and why did he appear in that mansion and lose his memory?" Dong Xie suddenly frowned. Mountain Road …… "What Yuan Ming wants to know the most is whether he is the real Yuan Ming or not? However, this question seemed to be unanswered for the time being. This great doubt has caused him to be highly uneasy inside." Dong Xie carefully gripped the steering wheel and continued to listen. "Suddenly, Wang Cai, who was walking behind him, shouted. Wangcai was the grandson of that black-backed wolfdog from the Yuan family and Fourth Uncle's family's Dafu back then. I heard Uncle Four say that in the extermination bloodbath back then, the wolfdog kept by the Yuan family was just as brutally killed, and the police had not been able to extract any blood or other human tissues from the canine teeth. Coincidentally, Dafu went into labor that night and gave birth to four puppies, and Wangcai was one of them that was later born to a village hyena. I don't know if it was because Wang Cai was the grandson of the Yuan family's guard dog and was surprisingly dependent on Yuan Ming. It has always been incomparably docile in front of Yuan Ming, never barking." Dong Xie naturally remembered the later episodes. But even though he knew it all, at this moment he was still a little numb. "Yuan Ming walked up to Wang Cai and looked around carefully. The color of the night was very thick right now, so he couldn't see the surrounding area, yet as time passed, Wang Cai barked desperately and furiously at the front, as if there was really something approaching in front of that!" This chapter ends and then a new one begins. What follows is the first chapter of this book being shelved into VIP. Dong Xie swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and the knot in his throat shrugged. This book was shelved on November 1, 2018, and the day before, Deep Sea did not write a shelving speech, but everyone believed that it would come at 0:00 to have a big outbreak of at least five more. After the first chapter was released at 0 o'clock on time, there was already a fifteen thousand first subscription before 10 o'clock that day. Inside the countless squatting subscribers, there are Dong Qi, Zhao Qishan, Han Guangbei and so on. Dong Xie clearly remembered that night when he was waiting for an hour before the update, he was discussing with Zhao Qishan on WeChat about the reason why Wang Cai was barking wildly. This chapter says that more than 70% of the speculations in it are likely to be black shadow evil spirits. At that time, it was just a feeling of terror as well as a sense of excitement, but now all that brought Dong Xie was fear! Just listening to the listening software slowly read aloud, "Wang Cai continued to bark furiously, and locked his eyes on a certain location in front of him. Yuan Ming gradually walked up, but he saw nothing. Although the night was dark, it was far from reaching out. Ahead, there's definitely no one." Dong Xie subconsciously took a deep breath. "Wang Cai suddenly lunged towards the front, rushing into the darkness! Then, the barking came to an abrupt end! Wang Cai was a black dog, and he couldn't really see it in the darkness, while Yuan Ming instantly realized that something was wrong, and he rushed up, and then he saw that Wang Cai collapsed on the ground, and his eyes became blank, without pupils!" Dong Xie listened with full attention, the car slowed down, wanting to listen to see if there was anything that had changed in content, when suddenly a black object rolled down from the car window and fell onto the hood! Dong Xie immediately stepped on the brakes! He then saw that a black-colored dog fell motionless on the hood, and his eyes were also blank and pupil-less! He only felt his brain go blank, while his ears continued to ring with the emotionless reading of the listening software: "Yuan Ming was so scared that his face turned white, he picked up Wang Cai and carefully examined him, but how could he not see a single bit of trauma on Wang Cai's body! At this time, the moonlight poured down, and he suddenly realized that the ground not far in front of him projected a black shadow with a weirdly curved body!" Dong Xie quickly shut down the listening software! But he then realized that he actually couldn't turn it off, and the book listening software not only continued to read aloud, but also grew louder and louder! "Yuan Ming raised his head, but he simply couldn't see the person who corresponded to this twisted black shadow! He was so frightened that he immediately turned around and fled in the direction of Yan Shen Village! And he didn't know how long he had been running, and came to the bottom of a high slope, and raised his head …… and saw the Yuan family's mansion!" Dong Xie wanted to leave the car, but the door wouldn't open! He instantly realized that he had underestimated the terror of the Bloodletter after all! Without the various restrictions that apartments had to protect their residents, it would be a complete matter of luck whether they died or not in front of the evil spirits! He couldn't turn his cell phone off, and even if he keyed out the battery at the back of the phone, it was useless! "No! I don't want to die here!" He recalled that in the morning at the cemetery, when he was sweeping his mother's grave, he had glanced in passing at an unmarked tombstone next to him, a tombstone that he had pre-purchased. The original tombstone next to his mother's had become empty again because the family of the deceased had decided to move the tomb back to their hometown. Dong Xie had bought himself a tombstone in advance, so that in case something unfortunate happened to him in the future, he would sleep here with his mother. Could it be that the tombstone will be mentioned so soon? Dong Xie frantically banged on the car window, and the Singularity Net App's book-listening software continued to read aloud in an organized manner. "Yuan Ming looked back, and under the moonlight, that twisted black shadow, was still approaching him a little!" …… "I always feel a little chesty." Dong Ning felt very slightly out of breath at this time. A woman's intuition was always particularly accurate. "Don't be too nervous," Ming Chenyan soothed, "I know, the Blood Character mission is indeed a bit weird, just keep a normal mind. After all, this is your second Bloodletter. The difference in difficulty basically won't be too big between one and three Blood Characters." "Well, I know ……" However, in the apartment, there was still a vast majority of people who had only passed the Bloodletter once, and this was also a lot of people who were under the premise that Mo Yuan Qin Zi Yuan had helped them remotely. "Excuse me, old folks." Situ Wenxuan stopped the car, stuck his head out of the window, looked at a middle-aged man who was pushing a cart of apples past, and asked, "Where is Blue Moon Village?" The farmer glanced at the car's Fang Wenxuan and seemed a bit skeptical. "Blue Moon Village …… you go that way ……" The middle-aged man pointed to the back, "Probably go a little further towards the east. I'm from the west end of the Black Hasa Village, and I haven't been to the Blue Moon Village a few times, the road over there is too difficult to walk." "Do you still know anything about Blue Moon Village?" Situ Wenxuan said this, and pointed to the cart of apples, "Old township, this way, apples you look to help me take a few bags, take how much you weigh yourself." "Oh, in! In!" When the middle-aged man heard that there was business, he picked up the plastic bag and started loading apples, "Blue Moon Village, I've been there a few times. The village is too remote, there is no river around, no running water or electricity! It's not convenient to pick up water, and there's no one to plant the fields, so the young people all go to the big county to work." "Then ……" Ming Chenyan, who was next to him, asked, "So it's all old people and children now?"
