Chapter 504 The Face Behind the Head
In just an instant, I knelt on the ground uncontrollably. Seeing my situation, Tofu yelled that it was not good, and suddenly supported me, saying: "Old Chen, how are you? This place is weird, rely on me." , Never mind, let's go out first!"

I can't control myself at all now, my whole body is shaking like a sieve, and I am in great pain.At this moment, the surroundings are full of gray mist, and the tofu props me up and rushes out.At this moment, I couldn't react at all, the tofu held me to the east, and it was impossible for me to go west. Then, the two of us returned to the entrance of the cave we came down from before.There is not so much dust in this place, and the sight is much clearer. Tofu looked at the hole above his head, then at me, and said anxiously: "Old Chen, can you make the hole yourself? The hole is too narrow. If you don't climb by yourself, I will There is no way to get you out."

I shook my head and forcefully said: "No, I, I can't control myself, it seems, it seems that there is an extra person in my body, you... you stay away from me." Tofu followed suit and said: "I am that person. Kind of person? Damn, don’t care, I’ll tie you up and drag you out first.” As he spoke, he took out the rope and tied it around my waist. However, he had just completed half of this action when suddenly Suddenly, I noticed that the muscles all over Tofu's body stiffened for a moment, and then, I felt a sudden sharp pain in the back of my head, and I passed out when my eyes went dark.

The moment I fainted, I could clearly feel that it was Tofu who hit me hard from behind suddenly, and I don't know what it was.

But I really can't understand, why is he hitting me when he has nothing to do?
When I woke up again, I found that I was still in the same place, with a cold feeling around, and a pile of solid fuel rising in the center of the house.Tofu sat next to the fuel, looked up at the hole above his head from time to time, and then looked at me again.When I found out that I woke up, I felt the corner of Tofu's mouth twitch suddenly, as if very nervous.

My brain hurts, I just woke up and I was still a little dazed, I recalled what happened before intermittently in my mind, seeing the appearance of Tofu at this moment, my heart sank, and I said coldly: "Why did you knock me out?"

Tofu swallowed his saliva, looking cautious, even holding a gun in his hand, pointing at me vaguely.This action hurt me very much. There have been many people pointing guns at me over the years, but this is the first time Tofu has done such an action.

After I finished asking, he looked at me for a while and said, "You, you turn around first."

turn around?I couldn't help raising my eyebrows, and said, "You'd better give me a reasonable explanation." Immediately afterwards, I just turned around according to Tofu, and turned my back to him.At this time, I heard the voice of Tofu obviously relieved, and the next second, the kid rushed up and hugged me, and said, "I was scared to death, I was scared to death, Lao Chen, you almost became Fairy, do you know?"

I said, "What's going on?"

Tofu looked aggrieved, as if about to cry, and intermittently talked about the previous situation.At that time, he saw that my face was turning blue and my whole body was twitching, and he couldn't find the reason, so he became ruthless, so he decided to take me away first, and he could only feel sorry for Zhuan Rui first.Then I planned to tie me with a rope and drag me out who couldn't take care of myself.Unexpectedly, when he tied the rope around my waist and wrapped it around my back, he suddenly froze.Because he discovered that the back of my head was missing...

At that time, on the back of my head was not hair, but a bluish-white face, the face of the woman before!The woman stared at the tofu with resentment, and suddenly opened her mouth, biting towards the tofu impressively.

At the very moment, Tofu punched me hard, knocking me unconscious.At that time, he was also stunned. I was dizzy, and immediately jumped far away, huddled in the corner of the wall for a long time, not daring to approach, let alone being cowardly.After a while, seeing that I hadn't moved, I boldly came over and looked again, and found that the face on the back of my head had disappeared.

Tofu Heart said: Could it be that I am blinded by myself?Thinking about it again, the scene just now really doesn't look like a hallucination. Could it be that the ghost of the petrified corpse that has become a spirit is lingering on me?After much deliberation, Tofu didn't dare to delay, and decided to leave this gloomy place immediately, and make all plans after going out.He tied me with a rope and started to crawl outside.

Unexpectedly, just as they were about to reach the entrance of the cave, they suddenly heard a burst of human voices coming from outside the cave.

who is out there
Tofu was startled, turned off the flashlight, crawled forward slowly in the dark, and looked out quietly with his probe, and suddenly found five people in uniform standing outside.Only one of them said: "The surrounding area is Xintu, so those four people must have entered."

Since the five people are dressed in the same outfit and are about the same size, Tofu can't tell who they are, so let's call them by code names. The first one to speak is called A.Immediately afterwards. B said: "I have long heard that the head of the Zhuan family is a ruthless character, but I didn't expect to give the boss to them all at once..." Although he didn't finish speaking, Tofu recognized the name, and he was shocked, and said in his heart : Old Chen and the others suddenly got an equipment bag at that time, could it be that they killed someone to get it?

At this moment, Tofu knew that these five people were enemies and not friends, so he naturally didn't dare to climb forward, so he couldn't help lowering his figure even more, holding his breath, and wanted to hear their next plan.

I was quite surprised to hear this, because according to our previous estimates, these five people were hired by others. Now that we have taken away their bulk equipment and have no leader, it stands to reason that they should give up the next action and plan for follow-up That's right.How could you not give up and block us outside the cave?

But another person answered, saying: "The higher-ups have ordered that it will be difficult to attack Zhuan after he returns to the capital. Let the five of us deal with them on the spot."

A complained in his tone, and said: "If we have bare guns, not many bullets, and all the bulk equipment is in their hands, and this place is sparsely populated, a hand grenade can finish us off. Let's go find them now." Unlucky, isn't it just death? I said... money is more important than life. Who will negotiate with the boss?"

Those five people guessed that none of them were willing to poke the bad luck above them, they looked at each other in blank dismay, but no one was willing to accept this bad luck.Tofu hid in the dark, thinking that the bulk of the equipment had been swallowed up by quicksand now, and Lao Chen and I went out in such a mess, wouldn't we be directly punished?
I listened to those five people discussing for a while, but because of our heavy firepower, I dared not go down the cave, so I decided to stay outside the cave, to lure the snake out of the cave, and use the geography to hide in the surrounding high places when we were unprepared after the incident was completed. shoot us.

If this strategy is really implemented, if we don't pay attention, it will really hit the road.Going out now is like throwing yourself into a trap, Tofu is in a dilemma, just laying down at the entrance of the cave, in case these five people beat the light inside, they will be able to see themselves.Tofu was in a hurry, so he had to take me back out again.I naturally suffered a lot during this process, and was pushed back by the tofu.

I was in a coma at the time, and Tofu’s vigilance dropped a bit. Pushing and pushing, I suddenly saw that face appearing on the back of my head, and this time, that face disappeared in a flash, leaving behind He gave a weird smile.Before Tofu could react, 'I' raised his head and opened his mouth to shout.

If I called out, our positions would be revealed immediately. Fortunately, Tofu was very close to me at the time. The moment I opened my mouth, he suddenly stuffed his hand into my mouth. There was no sound in a moment, but It is called biting, the painful tofu inhales repeatedly, and there is a bloody tooth mark on the boss, which is painful.

In desperation, Tofu said in his heart: I'm sorry, Lao Chen, I'll wrong you again.Then the other hand came directly to pinch my neck, pinching me and passing out.Then, he took me to live here.After listening to Tofu, I really felt hot all over, there were small wounds caused by Busha friction, my throat also felt sore, and my voice was a little hoarse, and I was pinched by this kid.

Tofu's words made me startled and frightened, I reached out and touched the back of my head subconsciously, but I could only touch my hair.

A face grew out of the back of his head?

Could it be that the thing that has become a spirit has come to me?Tofu saw that my expression was different, thought for a while, and comforted me: "This, this... don't be afraid, we will find a Taoist priest to collect it later, and see if it dares to do something wrong."

I took a look at Tofu, and said to myself that there are five people ambushing outside the door. With Tofu and I, going out now is tantamount to death. For the current plan, it is important to first confirm the good or bad of Zhuanrui and the other two.These two people are not ordinary people, Tofu and I can escape from that quicksand, the two of them shouldn't be so easily fooled, I'm afraid there is some way in which we don't know.

I subconsciously looked at the string of mahogany beads my grandfather gave me on my wrist. After a long time, there were many cracks on it. I was worried that it would be damaged. I took it off and put it properly on weekdays. .

However, this look, I suddenly found something wrong.

There is a face on the mahogany bead, a face that is constantly twisting, as if trying to break free from the mahogany bead.As if aware of my gaze, that face became even more agitated, its lines twisted, its facial features shifted, and it looked horrific.

Tofu was taken aback, and said, "Ah, that's it, that's it! How did it get into this hand bead?"

I shook my head, and said to myself: From the looks of it, this mahogany bead seems to have saved my life again, this strange face seems to be trapped by this string of beads.Just as this thought flashed across my mind, suddenly, one of the mahogany beads on my wrist burst apart, and the whole string of beads became loose. The next second, the rope snapped, and the mahogany beads scattered on the ground. Bounced and rolled around.

My heart skipped a beat, as if a layer of cold water had been poured on my whole body, my whole body tensed up.
