Chapter 12 Tongshou Temple(1/3)
The light in the darkness comes from a lantern.
The white and yellow rice paper is the skin, with four layers of inner bones supporting it, and the candlelight is fixed in the middle, bringing a touch of light to the darkness.
It also illuminates the big word "no" on rice paper.
The word "No" written in a brush is particularly eye-catching under the candlelight.
Hui Lijing was attracted by this word.
But Hui Lijing's scream was not because of this word.
But the hand she saw along the thin bamboo pole that picked up the lantern, that person.
The thin bamboo pole has long become yellow-green, with yellow occupying the majority, only a touch of green at the root node, which is revealed from the gap of a grayish-white palm.
Apart from the color of the palm, the palm is undoubtedly like ordinary people.
Neither slender nor thick.
It's an ordinary person.
Just like half of the other person's face exposed to the candlelight.
But following the other party's footsteps, when the other party's face was exposed, it made people feel a chill on their backs.
On the other side of the ordinary face are...skeletons.
Not only the face is the bones.
Half of the other party's body is also a skeleton.
Half a man and a half skeleton walk in the darkness, flickering light and dark under the candlelight.
Suddenly, the already terrifying scene became even more strange.
Especially when the other party was carrying a lantern, looking into the car and smiling.
Hui Lijing's scream came to an abrupt end.
All that remains-
"This, this, this..."
Hui Lijing wanted to say a complete sentence to express her thoughts at this time.
But when the words came to my mouth, I couldn't say them at all.
And at this moment, Jason's voice came to her ears.
“Open the high beam.”
The voice was neither too fast nor too slow, with Jason's unique indifference.
This indifference made Hui Lijing instinctively choose to believe.
Click!
The car's high beam turned on, bright enough to a dazzling light, covering half-human and half-skeleton.
Immediately, the half-human and half-skeleton smile froze.
It had imagined many situations, but it really didn't expect such a situation.
Enduring the harsh pain, half-human and half-skeleton stepped around the range of the high beam.
Although half-human and half-skeleton were already very careful, Hui Lijing still saw this obvious behavior.
“It shoots the high beam?”
Hui Lijing asked blankly.
"You are afraid of it."
Jason replied.
"Yes, maybe... shouldn't it be a monster?"
"How can monsters be afraid of high beams?"
Hui Lijing still couldn't accept it.
"Monsters are also a kind of creatures. After being illuminated by high beams, they naturally have to follow their biological instincts - just like I am not afraid of a certain degree of attack, but when I eat chili peppers, I can still feel spicy."
Jason continued to answer.
"Jason, are you saying that everything follows the instinct of a living being?"
Hui Lijing seemed to have some understanding.
"You can also understand that northerners were trembling with cold during winter in the south."
Jason said, then pushed open the car door and walked out of the car.
Hui Lijing, who was already conscious, was stunned again.
What's the meaning?
She was completely confused.
However, after seeing Jason push the door and walk out of the car, Hui Lijing immediately followed.
Of course, she didn't forget to bring a weapon.
The existence of half-human and half-skeleton was waiting by the car. After seeing Jason and Hui Lijing got out of the car, she immediately bowed very politely.
"The little monk has met His Excellency Jason and Detective Hui Lijing."
The other party's voice is pleasant and his manners are elegant. If it is not a terrifying image, it can definitely be called elegant.
Hui Lijing's eyes looked at the other person's head.
On the side of human beings, there are also fine short hair.
Hui Lijing's focus is on these hairs.
Shouldn't the monk be bald?
Perhaps seeing Hui Lijing's question, the half-human and half-skeleton who claimed to be a little monk showed a smile and replied very gently: "The little monk is practicing with his hair, and has not yet reached the level of ordain."
"So, are you afraid of high beams?"
Hui Lijing asked frankly.
The half-human and half-skeleton with a smile froze.
"Even if you are ordained as a monk, you will be afraid of high beams."
The half-human and half-skeleton monk held back his temper and explained.
"That is, you're not even as good as the high beam?"
Hui Lijing continued to ask.
This time, the half-human and half-skeleton who claimed to be a little monk couldn't help it.
Its complete side belonging to humans clearly showed anger.
"Detective Hui Lijing, are you provoking me?"
half man and half skeleton asked gloomyly.
“Huh?”
"Discovered?"
Hui Lijing looked at the half-human and half-skeleton in surprise. The expression of "How could you find out with your IQ like?" completely angered the existence of the half-human and half-skeleton who claimed to be a little monk.
roar!
The other party let out a roar like a wild beast, and rushed towards Hui Lijing.
Then--
Bang, bang bang!
Hui Lijing pulled the trigger in her pistol in her hand.
Under the gunfire, half man and half skeleton retreated one after another, but it was obvious that it was not fatal.
"Do you think this kind of shooting works for me?"
"You underestimate the little monk's practice too much."
"I... fuck!"
The half-human and half-skeleton existence could not help but sarcastically faced Hui Lijing's shooting, but before it could finish speaking, Hui Lijing smiled and pointed to the ground.
The half-human and half-skeleton existence looked down and was completely stunned.
Because, a grenade that pulled the ring appeared at its feet at some point.
boom!
Grenade explosions, shock waves, shrapnel rage around.
