Chapter 25: The Forest of Magic
I wonder if it's an illusion …… Mo Yuan, Qin Ziyuan, and Nie Han seemed to feel that within this sea of trees, the rainwater all seemed to start to have a hint of a bloody odor. As for Ming Chenyan and Fang Wenxuan, their faces became increasingly ugly. Although it is said that this time there is a triumvirate leading the team, the problem is that …… the difficulty is also high and terrifying ah! However, the choice has been made, and there is no going back now. Ahead, Himura Hanabi was always walking unhurriedly, without even a hint of panic in her pace. At this time, the five occupants almost simultaneously had a thought. Was this female really a human? Just as the five people's hearts were filled with all sorts of speculations and thoughts, Mo Yuan suddenly heard a rather unpleasant mosquito buzzing sound coming from his ears. On such a rainy day, the mosquitoes still came out as well, which was really annoying. Mo Yuan has always been very puzzled, for humans, insignificant raindrops, for a mosquito can be said to be a behemoth (the weight of a drop of rain is roughly fifty times the weight of a mosquito), but can not hurt mosquitoes in the slightest. Coupled with the umbrella's cover, resulting in a person can only spare a hand, mosquitoes suck blood naturally more unscrupulous. Originally, Mo Yuan did not intend to care about the mosquitoes, after all, now to observe whether the evil spirits lurking around is the most critical. But after a long time, the mosquito buzzed in his ears from time to time, because it was too close to his ears, even the sound of the rain could not be blocked out, Mo Yuan could not bear it, and took his hand and desperately slapped it, even going so far as to hit himself in the face. "Mo Yuan what are you doing?" Ming Chenyan, who was close to Mo Yuan, asked in confusion, "Why are you hitting yourself?" "Mosquitoes." "No way, there are mosquitoes in a place like this?" "Uh-huh." Ming Chenyan had just finished speaking when he suddenly heard the buzzing of mosquitoes in his ears as well. At this moment, he was tensing up his surroundings, and the mosquitoes were still bothering him at this time, making him unbearable! So Ming Chenyan also quickly waved his hand to repel the mosquitoes. He really didn't understand, this mosquito didn't go to hide from the rain at a good time, but also had to run out to suck blood? Or this Japanese mosquitoes rare encounter Chinese, see hunting heart to change the taste is not? Finally, finally the mosquitoes to drive away, but the ear just clean not long …… "Ah ah ah ah ah ah!" A mournful scream came from the depths of the bushes not far away! "助けて!" Although Mo Yuan and the others didn't know Japanese, they had all grown up watching Japanese animation from their student days, and even though they couldn't write, they knew that this was someone calling for help as soon as they heard it. But the mournful screams and cries for help just rang out for a short while before coming to an abrupt end. "Ms. Himura ……" Akatsuhiko said in a trembling voice to Himura Hanabi, whose footsteps in front of her actually didn't even change the slightest bit, "This, just now …… " "I said it. No matter what sounds you hear, no matter what things you see, don't react in any particular way. Don't let those things realize that you can hear and see those things." In Himura Hanabi's original words, she was talking about それらのもの(那些东西). Before Akatsuhiko translated, Mo Yuan basically understood it. The source of that voice, obviously, belonged to a non-human. Just like the residents, they also used "those things" to refer to evil spirits. But at that moment. An even more mournful and tragic scream rang out. This time, the scream was even closer than before, and it felt as if someone less than ten meters away was desperately begging for help. At this moment, the tenants didn't dare to stop in their footsteps in the slightest, and they didn't even dare to waver in their expressions. Even the most junior in seniority, Fang Wenxuan, struggled to hold onto the handle of his umbrella. But right at this moment, a gust of wind blew in, and that wind even shook the lantern in Hua Huo's hand. At this scene, even Mo Yuan and Qin Ziyuan's faces changed greatly as they watched! Right now, they were counting on Himura Hanabi to lead them out of this sea of trees to reach the Kitayama family's shrine, and this lantern was the only thing that could guide them (although Mo Yuan and the others didn't know how this lantern could guide them to their location), but looking at this, they were really afraid of what would happen if the lantern was blown away, or if the fire inside was blown out? Just thinking about this made them feel creepy. Fortunately, although the lantern was blown a few times, it never went out, which made them feel a bit relieved. Honestly speaking, they didn't want, no matter what, to give up their lives inside this forest before even entering the shrine. Would the screams still ring out? Were the evil spirits watching them from this neighborhood? Perhaps even right now, right now, right next to them, watching to see if they could hear the screams just now? Although nothing could be seen around them, only a large amount of rainwater pouring down, Mo Yuan and the others' countless experiences in the past allowed them to completely brainstorm all sorts of possible images. At this time, human imagination was instead the most terrifying. The scream just now, now that Mo Yuan calmed down and thought carefully, it sounded like a woman's voice, and judging by the vocal line, it should be very young, maybe even no more than twenty years old. And being an evil spirit, but is asking for help, could it be someone who was lost in this sea of trees in the past? These undead spirits, once they were sure that they could notice them, then perhaps it meant stepping into the deadly trap of the Bloodletter. And as every resident knows all too well, the moment the deathtrap is triggered, the apartment releases the restriction on evil spirits killing residents. The Triumvirate made themselves act calmly as this became clear to them. This point might sound tough, but to them, who were experienced in bloodletter missions, it wasn't that much of a hardship. As for Ming Chenyan and Fang Wenxuan, it was relatively tougher. Most importantly, they couldn't trust Himura Hanabi's words wholeheartedly, in case she was lying, or even if she herself wasn't human, then perhaps that evil spirit would appear the next second to take them to the netherworld. Ming Chenyan noticed that although Fang Wenxuan was trying his best to hold back, it was obvious that his expression was still twitching from time to time, so he thought about it and touched Fang Wenxuan's shoulder, saying, "Side the umbrella to the right a bit, that shoulder of yours is all wet. Hang down the umbrella a bit." When Zhan Wenxuan heard this, he immediately understood and immediately did as he was told. If the evil spirit was really staring at him from the side (Zhan Wenxuan tried his best not to let himself think about this horrifying possibility), then the umbrella would be able to block the evil spirit's line of sight. And just then, another gust of wind blew in, almost blowing the lantern in Himura Hanabi's hand to fly, and the crowd immediately turned even more ugly! "Ms. Himura! The lantern, the lantern ……" Akatsuhiko's face became almost as white as paper. Himura Hanabi finally turned her head back slightly. Her face was half covered by the umbrella, and I don't know if it was an illusion, but the color of her lips was glowing purple like she was wearing Death Barbie's lipstick. Then, she lifted the umbrella a little and said, "There's no need to worry. The lantern will be fine." At this time, Mo Yuan and the others noticed that the annoying text from earlier was clinging to Himura Hanabi's face. It looked as if it was feasting on it. "Ms. Himura, mosquito?" "What did you say?" Mo Yuan then realized that Himura Flower Flame did not understand Chinese. Akatsuhiko, on the other hand, immediately translated, "Miss Himura, what Mo Yuan means is ……" "Wait." Mo Yuan suddenly stopped Akatsuhiko and said, "Akatsuhiko, translate the next words for me." Himura Hanabi asked faintly, "What's the matter?" "Ms. Himura you ……," Akatsuhiko began to translate what Mo Yuan said, "You don't feel there is something uncomfortable on your face?" At this time, that mosquito is still close to Himura Flower Flame's cheeks, and then, seems to be bold, actually began to climb a little bit upward, gradually climbed to the corner of the eye. And Himura Hanabi surprisingly replied, "There's nothing uncomfortable." "Ms. Himura?" "Go away." Afterward, Himura Flower Flame turned her head back. At this moment, Mo Yuan and the others felt creeped out. And at this moment, on Himura Flower Flame's face, which Mo Yuan and the others could not see, her expression did not change by half, and the mosquito was getting bolder and bolder, following the corners of her eyes, a little bit climbed to the eye socket, and then, even directly stayed on her left eye pupil! However, at this moment, Himura Hanabi's pupil didn't have any reflexive behavior, still opened greatly, staring dead ahead ……
