Restricted area grave keeper

Liao Xin's chest was covered with blood, but the paper figurine that crawled out of his arms was not stained with blood, about the size of a palm, with an unhealthy pale body, no facial features on its face, and two strange spots on its cheeks. Scarlet.

The paper figurine crawled up to Liao Xin's face along his collar, looked down at him for a while, then silently crouched down, lying on the corpse's face in a big shape.

After a while, the paper figurine's body gradually changed, as if being pulled by an invisible big hand, and gradually formed a mask that completely covered the corpse's face without leaving any gaps.

Soon, a large number of bulges appeared on the flat mask, like bubbles that continued to appear and burst, as if something was wriggling underneath.

Time passed by every minute and every second, and about ten minutes later, something weird happened.

A thread of bloody flesh and blood suddenly drilled out of the huge blood hole on Liao Xin's body, shuttled back and forth between his right chest, as if someone was mending the wound with a needle and thread, and quickly repaired the right chest.

This is obviously not a healing ability, but an extremely rough suturing of the flesh. The repaired right chest looks extremely ugly and hideous, and even a lot of flesh and blood are turned outwards, which is disgusting.

But the repairer doesn't seem to care about this, he just needs this body to be a little more complete.

After that, the mask on Liao Xin's face gradually dissolved, as if completely integrated into the body of the corpse, which made Liao Xin's complexion much paler. The next second, he suddenly opened his eyes, his body twitched twice, and then He sat up straight.

His eyes were very different from before, he didn't look angry, he opened his mouth and tried to say a few words, and he took out his phone after he was proficient in pronunciation.

However, the mobile phone was destroyed in the battle just now. Liao Xin had no expression on his face. He casually took out the mobile phone from a corpse and dialed a number.

"Everyone is dead."

His voice sounded extra harsh.

The person on the other end of the phone seemed to be asking about something, and he replied: "I met a woman in a wedding dress, estimated to be A-level or above, with terrible abilities, and they died without even touching her."

"Hmm... It seems to be an ability that can turn bullets back. The bullets have a certain effect. Her ability should have been disturbed, but it's not obvious, and the sniper rifle was taken away."

"I will continue to confirm the location of the target, but if the target is protected by this woman, the mission will fail."

"If you must get her, you need support."

After finishing speaking, Liao Xin hung up the phone. Without even looking at the corpses around him, he took out gauze from his backpack and wrapped the wound a few times casually, barely covering Zhenling's wound.

After confirming that no one else would notice the anomaly, he picked up a gun from the ground and left straight away.

……

Before the restricted area was expanded, Beijulin already had many terrible legends.

Many people say that they have seen ghosts here, and there have been incidents where people who escaped from Beijulin became insane, crying late at night, and ghosts in the forest... There are many horror stories here.

Although no one has ever really confirmed the existence of ghosts in the forest, few people come here. Although there is no forbidden stone tablet, in the minds of many people, Beijiulin is also a forbidden area that cannot be easily pryed into.

It is worth mentioning that even after the expansion of the forbidden zone, there are few creatures in the forbidden zone near the Bejulin in the buffer zone. It seems that even those weird things are afraid of this place.

Those people in the black market are not the aborigines of Boundless City, so although they have heard some legends of Bejulin, they don't have much respect for it.

They never believed in the theory of ghosts, so they left the child in the forest after repeatedly confirming that there was nothing unusual in the forest.

Due to the horror legend of Beijiulin spreading, ordinary people dare not approach this place at all, and the creatures in the restricted area rarely appear here, so as long as the fear is overcome, Beijiulin is undoubtedly a relatively safe hiding place.

It is indeed doubtful that creatures in the restricted area can be shunned, but living anywhere in the buffer zone requires risk. In the final analysis, it depends on how to weigh the pros and cons. If there are scruples everywhere, there is no place for this dangerous place. place.

Besides, they have also carefully investigated the situation of Bequiline.

People in the black market sell not only food and water, but also rare and precious items such as firearms. This undoubtedly requires a lot of risk in the irregular buffer zone. There have been many competitions in the past, and there are still There are often scary off-limits creatures around, and having kids with them is only more dangerous.

At this moment, Yang Yiyi was standing in front of the entrance of Beijiulin.

She is also not an aborigine of the Boundless City, so her understanding of Beijulin is relatively limited, she has only vaguely heard a few rumors, but when she really faced this mysterious forest, she could still feel the strangeness of Beijulin .

The entrance is a very open gravel road, with dead trees more than three meters high on both sides, which look like they are malnourished. The trunks and branches are twisted strangely, giving people a very uncomfortable feeling.

As the road gets deeper and deeper, the height and number of dead trees on both sides are gradually increasing, and the wide gravel road becomes narrower and narrower, as if extending infinitely, giving people a feeling of being gradually lost in the woods. Feel.

Yang Yiyi only hesitated for a moment, then set foot on this wide gravel road.

The dead trees on both sides of the road just looked weird, and there was nothing dangerous about it, which made her heave a sigh of relief, but she still held the spell tightly in her hand all the time, not daring to relax her vigilance.

As she continued to move forward, the gravel road became narrower and narrower, and because this change was not obvious, when Yang Yiyi noticed it, she found that she was already deep in the beijiu forest.

The dead trees on both sides are already terribly tall, blocking most of the sunlight, and only cast some sparse and distorted shadows, shaking from time to time, making people palpitating.

It was only then that Yang Yiyi noticed that the surrounding trees seemed a bit strange—if one ignores the dense branches, its trunk is like a painful human figure standing upright on one leg, and the remaining leg and arm are twisted and entwined. , the main trunk at the top is slightly pressed down, like a head secretly looking down.

All the dead trees seemed to be in this posture, lowering their heads and staring at the girl who broke into the forest.

After all, Yang Yiyi lived alone for so long, she was not too courageous, she kept telling herself that it was just a psychological effect, and she continued to move forward.

Seeing that the gravel road was getting narrower and narrower, she finally saw a fork in the road not far ahead.

The intersection leads to three directions, and there are two dead trees with connected branches on the left and right of each road, like a door. Yang Yiyi recalled what Sister Miaomiao said, and the third passage mentioned by the other party should refer to the far right This road, she looked back, and then walked on without hesitation and chose to turn right.

From the fork in the road, there is no gravel road. Fortunately, you can barely see the rudiment of the road, so you won’t lose your way. There are more and more dead trees around, but you can’t even see half a leaf on the ground, and there is no Broken branches, the soil is extremely soft and looks very fertile.

Yang Yiyi didn't waste time, and speeded up, and it didn't take long to reach the end of the road——

The reason why it is called the end is because there is a bottomless cliff behind it, and it is impossible to go back. However, the strange thing is that there are many dead trees like those in the forest growing on the vertical cliff. It grows sideways like this, but it is still a painful human form.

Yang Yiyi looked around, and soon saw a house made of gray stones near the left side of the cliff.

"It should be here..."

Yang Yiyi carefully approached the house, she was not worried that those children would not know her identity, Sister Miao Miao said that there were a few people left in the black market to protect these children, they should know themselves.

When she came to the door of the house, instead of breaking in directly, she knocked lightly on the door.

"Is anyone here?"

No one answered, and no one opened the door.

Yang Yiyi wasn't surprised by this, it's a good thing to be vigilant enough in the buffer zone, so she knocked on the door again and said, "Is anyone there, Sister Miao Miao asked me to come over, I'm Yang Yiyi. "

Still no movement.

She frowned slightly, put her ear against the door, listened carefully, and found that there was no sound in the room.

"Going out?"

After thinking for a moment, she decided to open the door and go in.

The door was locked from the inside, as if the deadbolt had been released. Yang Yiyi's expression remained unchanged, she took out a charm, inserted it into the crack of the door and fiddled twice, and the door opened quickly.

She seems to have a lot of experience in this area.

"excuse me."

The walls are inlaid with illuminated stones, and the room is very bright. After Yang Yiyi entered the room, he looked around, and then went to each room. The daily necessities, food and water in the room were all available, but there was no one there. .

She frowned, the door was obviously locked from the inside, how could there be no one in the room... Could it be because those children were wary of me, a stranger, so they hid?
"Is anyone there? Sister Miaomiao called me over, Shen Miaomiao, she and I are friends!"

She shouted, and searched around again, but still found nothing, so she couldn't help feeling a little worried.

At this time, Yang Yiyi was standing in a relatively small room with three small beds and many toys. There was a dagger hanging on the head of each bed, which should be used for the child's self-defense at critical moments.

There are obviously three children living in this room. Judging from the size of the bed, they are not too old. Logically speaking, they should not be so far away from the room...

At this moment, a chill suddenly hit, and Yang Yiyi turned her head to look, and saw the window was blown open by a gust of cold wind, making a rattling sound.

She walked over and was about to close the window, but suddenly noticed that there seemed to be traces of dragging on the window sill, and there were some dark soil, and her eyes were fixed——

Could it be that those children noticed that I was knocking on the door and thought that there was danger coming, so they jumped the window and ran away in advance?

wrong……

There were obvious dragging marks on the window sill. Rather than saying that the children escaped, it was more like something dragged the people in the room out...

Imagining that scene, Yang Yiyi suddenly looked at the three small beds, and noticed that there were daggers hanging above the two beds, and only one dagger was pulled out, leaving only an empty scabbard.

A bad premonition suddenly appeared in her heart, and she quickly opened the window and left the room.

Because the soil in the bayou forest is very soft, there are still clear footprints on the ground, one big and one small, spreading towards the depths of the woods.

There was something wrong with the footprints at first glance, Yang Yiyi didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly followed the footprints.

However, after chasing for a short time, the footprints along the way suddenly increased, and they were everywhere in almost no time. It was impossible to tell whether it was the one she was chasing. Her heart sank and she realized that she had lost her target.

What's more deadly is that she just lost her way.

The surrounding dead trees were denser than ever before, almost completely blocking the sunlight, making the space for activities extremely narrow. If she hadn't used the pre-lighting stone to illuminate, she might not even be able to see the road at this time.

It is very dangerous to get lost in such a place. After confirming that she was unable to recognize the direction, Yang Yiyi decided to climb a tree to observe the situation.

However, at the moment when she touched the dead wood, she suddenly withdrew her hand like an electric shock, with an ugly look on her face.

This feeling...

At the moment when she touched the dead tree, Yang Yiyi had a terrifying illusion of touching the skin of a human body!
What is this?
While thinking, she suddenly heard a strange voice behind her, she turned her head quickly, but saw nothing.

There are only dense and strange dead trees.

But at this moment, a strange voice came from her right side. She didn't dare to be careless, and turned her head to look quickly, but still found nothing.

Yang Yiyi felt chills in her heart, for some reason, she suddenly remembered the legend of ghosts in Beijiu Forest.

As an extraordinary person, she naturally didn't believe in ghosts, but this weird scene confirmed one thing for her - there was indeed something wrong with this forest.

She knew that she couldn't stay here and wait for death, so she planned to leave here immediately.

However, when she stepped back, she felt a sudden chill in her heart—she seemed to have bumped into something.

Turning around, she saw a twisted dead tree behind her, but instead of letting Yang Yiyi relax, this dead tree made her scalp numb——

When she turned around just now, she could see very clearly that there was absolutely no tree behind her... This tree walked over by itself!
Only then did Yang Yiyi realize that the space she could move in was getting narrower and narrower. If she continued like this, she might be imprisoned in place by these trees, unable to move at all!
She made a quick decision, gritted her teeth, took out a few burning talismans, and threw them all around.

The raging fire ignited instantly, and there seemed to be shrill screams from the twisted trees.

Taking advantage of this skill, Yang Yiyi quickly found a gap and got out, throwing burning charms everywhere as if she didn't want money, and those dead trees seemed to be very afraid of the flames, and soon scattered like ghosts.

The front suddenly became clear, Yang Yiyi quickly escaped from the blockade of dead trees, but while running, she suddenly froze in place.

Under the rock not far ahead, it seems that a person is hanging upside down.
