Chapter 74.
The moment Lu Yao said this, the surroundings suddenly quieted down, my brain buzzed, trance thought that I heard wrong, but is the expression of the crowd told me that her words of extermination, is indeed the meaning of what I heard.
I just wanted to pull her back and ask her what she wanted to do, but before the words left my mouth, I heard the water-spraying old woman let out a strange laugh, which echoed out miserably and gave me goosebumps.
But Tintin reacted quickly, perhaps only when it really came to this kind of critical moment, his brain would be smart. He drew an arrow at once, drew his bow and meowed towards Lu Yao and my side.
However, looking at him like this, my heart was very complicated, or should I say, facing Lu Yao at this moment, there was an indescribable feeling of bitterness in my heart.
Everything was said so nicely before, but by this time, she seemed to have changed into a different person. Cold and cruel.
She and Xie Ning were really in the same gang, so that means she's the person behind my brother-in-law, and also the person my mom once warned me not to get close to.
But the previous Lu Yao, did not show any intention to hurt anyone at all, even though the little ghost said so many things to me, but I was always willing to believe her words, could it be that in this world, it really is a series of ghostly words, and every word that comes out of their mouths is a lie. Or maybe I really am like what Lin Tian said, it's too easy to trust others.
Ding Ding's bowstring was fully drawn, and he was even ready to shoot an arrow. I was still hesitant, when I heard a "whoosh" sound, and my body inexplicably trembled like a startled bird.
In the blink of an eye, the arrow had already arrived in front of me, but I was surprised to find that Ding Ding's arrow was not aimed at Lu Yao or Xie Ning, but at me!
I opened my mouth wide in surprise, but before I could react, the arrow hit me squarely on my left shoulder!
I screamed miserably, my body directly fell backward, that feeling of severe pain immediately surged up, just for a second, I broke out in a cold sweat from the pain!
The previous wound had just healed a bit, but there really wasn't any time that could be compared to this arrow. But what chilled me even more was because the person who shot this arrow was Tintin!
I curled up in pain, wanting to rely on this to ease the pain. But in the end, I realized that it wasn't even the slightest bit useful.
I could only clench my teeth tightly and watch the crowd's every move through slightly narrowed eyes. Ding Ding re-drew an arrow out and drew his bow into a stance, and if that arrow just now was a miss on his part, then I truly despaired when I saw the way he looked now. Because he was impartial, the arrow was still pointing right at me.
For a moment, a horrible thought even rose in my heart, thinking that could it be that this Ding Ding, indeed, was no longer human, and that after his death, he had even become a gang with Xie Ning and the others.
However, I looked at his eyes, see his two hands slightly shaking, seems to be a little intolerant, but still can not let go to put down the arrow aimed at me. At this time, I felt wrong again, if he was Xie Ning's gang, then why did he have to go through so much trouble earlier, and even ran here to save us.
My body hurt like hell, my mind was in chaos, I really couldn't understand the current situation.
Lu Yao saw that I was hit by an arrow, anxiously squatted down next to me, reached out to check the wound, panicked and busy me to stop the bleeding. She kept telling me, saying Tan Xi, don't worry, she didn't hit the vitals, she'll be fine!
I looked at her, so for a moment, as if she had become the previous Lu Yao again. She was still so kind and caring. But the words she said just now really made me feel disgusted, as if someone stabbed you in the back first and then suddenly gave you a piece of candy.
I endured the pain and opened her hand from my shoulder. Lu Yao froze for a moment, and that concerned expression on her face disappeared once again, becoming cold and emotionless again. She then stood up, turned her back to me, and slowly walked towards Tintin.
I didn't know what was going through her mind right now, and I couldn't see her expression, but I could see Tintin.
Ding Ding's breathing is a little bit wrong, even his feet are soft, Lu Yao is approaching one step, he is one step backward, even before the night of the hundred ghosts and night walk, Ding Ding, although he was scared and panicked, he did not have such a look, this is …… a complete and utter fear!
He slowly stepped backward, and in the end, his body was already stuck to the wall, and there was no way to retreat.
I saw him take a deep breath, and suddenly opened his mouth and shouted at me, saying Tan Xi! I've already died once because of you, now it's your turn!
I didn't understand what he meant by that, could it be that I was now able to decide whether someone else lived or died?
Ding Ding's complexion shriveled down, and his voice had become a little choked. He looked at Lu Yao again, and the arrow in his hand was once again drawn, but he still didn't aim at Lu Yao, but instead aimed at me again. Under his breath, he kept yelling at Lu Yao, saying that you shouldn't come over, or else Tan Xi's life would be lost!
A current seemed to have flashed through my brain, at this time, I suddenly realized what Ding Ding meant, he wanted to take me as a hostage and use my life and death to threaten Lu Yao's gang?
But I think Ding Ding played the wrong game, whether I live or die is really worthless to them, and I am not the Tang Monk who can live forever by eating my flesh, they can keep me for a long time. Except for the bloodperm. I really can't think of any other purpose they could have.
It was as if Lu Yao wasn't even afraid of Ding Ding's threats either, as she still approached her step by step. I heard her voice, saying that you can try and see if you can kill Tan Xi yourself.
As soon as her words fell, Ding Ding acted as if he had been encouraged, and with another slight rattle of the bowstring, the arrow in his hand had shot out towards me. But before it flew five paces away, the arrow was blocked by Lu Yao's outstretched hand, and the arrow suddenly pierced through and stuck in Lu Yao's palm. But this arrow stabbed the seed, and Lu Yao didn't react in the slightest.
I've seen the power of this arrow before. Last time in a rented house, the ghosts in the room were all scared away by this arrow. But it didn't even affect Lu Yao in the slightest.
Ding Ding was in a hurry and wanted to fire a new arrow, but Lu Yao didn't give him a chance, she had already arrived in front of Ding Ding, her other hand was raised, and she grabbed Ding Ding's throat, and then lifted him up, dragging him off the ground, and pressed him against the wall.
Ding Ding still refused to give in, and kept stabbing the arrows in his hand towards Lu Yao's head, but as I watched, one by one, it did nothing at all.
All I could hear was Lu Yao sneering, but before she could say anything, the shrieks of the little ghost line came from the other side. It was then that I realized that my attention had just been on Ding Ding and Lu Yao, and the little ghost was hiding in the ghost car, but was again being haunted by Xie Ning. The hanging ghost's face was very anxious, but he couldn't do anything about the water spraying old woman.
Earlier, there was still a gaping chance of escape, but from the moment Lu Yao arrived, the situation was completely reversed. The few of them, there was not the slightest possibility of them surviving!
Tan Xi!
I was lying on the ground, my body tearing apart with every movement. But I still heard Ding Ding calling out to me, he was now being pinched by Lu Yao to the point where his face turned purple, his feet were not only stomping around in the air, but his hands had already given up on resisting, and he was just reaching out in my direction as if he was waiting for me to come to his rescue.
The distance between the two of us was only a few dozen steps, but it felt so far away, I crawled on the ground with difficulty, wanting to go to his side, and even began to pray for Lu Yao to stop, not to hurt Ding Ding's life.
But Lu Yao didn't respond in the slightest, it seemed that when she came here, she had already made up her mind that she wanted to kill all of Ding Ding and the line of little ghosts.
I felt like I had been crawling for a long time, but only a very small distance, and Tintin's hand was still reaching towards me, and he was now having a very hard time even making a sound.
I saw him open his mouth, but his speech was so broken that it took a while to figure out what he was trying to say.
But when I understood, all my actions stopped! At that instant the mind went blank, as if it had been jerked out of its thoughts.
I heard Tintin say, they are all afraid that you will die, if you die, the bloodper will be useless ……
My body trembled slightly, I suddenly understood, they want the blood peroxide, they need me to live! Although I don t have much Ben matter, but I am now, perhaps the only person who can save them.
I froze for so many seconds, and then looked at the arrow on my shoulder, and then looked at Ding Ding who was dying, remembering that I was almost unanimously protected by them, and now everything was finally reversed, and it was me instead, taking my life to protect them!
I made up my mind, clenched my teeth fiercely, held the end of the arrow in one hand, and shouted towards Lu Yao with all my might. Say you let go of them and don't let me die for you!
Her body moved slightly, but she didn't look back. It didn't seem to believe what I said.
Seeing that talking was useless, I hurriedly exerted force in my hand, trying to pull this arrow out of my shoulder. But I never imagined it would hurt this much, almost just by moving, I broke out in a cold sweat, and even the blood that I had just managed to stop spilled out quite a bit more!
It was then that Lu Yao became anxious. She turned her head back at once and glanced towards me.
I locked gazes with hers, and only then did I realize that half of her face, to my surprise, had all been pierced by Ding Ding, a piece of human skin drooping limply around her ear, revealing a set of dark, withered bones; the other half of her face was still intact, recognizing Lu Yao's appearance.
She shouted at me and said Tan Xi, what are you doing! Do you really don't want your own life!
I laughed coldly, remembering my mom's words, and said, People die sooner or later, so what do I have to be afraid of. Besides, I escaped today, whether I still have a life to live tomorrow, who knows.
I took a deep breath, and after a slight pause, I exerted a fierce force in my hand, and pulled out the arrow on my shoulder at once!
