Chapter 43 Su Mu Was Taken Away by a Shadow
Everyone felt creepy and stared at the air beside them nervously. Although there was no one there, they knew that a "kind" grandmother was standing there quietly.
Soon, Tingting jumped out of the door.
And Su Mu also stood up at this time and said to the air beside him: "Grandma, it's dark, my eyesight is not very good, if I bump into you, please forgive me."
After that, he went to the bedroom where the little girl had stayed before under the gaze of everyone. When he came out again, there was already a photo frame in his hand.
It was the photo frame that the little girl had been holding in her hand before.
He turned the photo frame over and turned it to the front. What came into view was a yellowed black and white photo, a family portrait.
There were four people in the photo, one was an old woman with silver hair, an old face, and a hunched body, and the other was Tingting who looked younger.
As for the other two, they had no heads at all, and their necks were completely broken. It could only be judged from their clothes and other parts of their bodies that they were a man and a woman, who looked relatively young. They held Tingting's hands on the left and right.
Tingting's face was filled with a happy smile.
Ye Fanyu came over and looked at the strange photo in front of him: "This man and woman should be Tingting's parents, but why are there no heads?"
Su Mu looked puzzled: "The lack of heads of parents is not the point, the point is that there is one person missing in this photo."
"Who?" Ye Fanyu's expression moved.
"Sister." Su Mu pushed his brown glasses and said lightly: "Tingting said she was going out to find her sister just now, but there is no sister in this family photo, so the question is, who is the sister?"
Ye Fanyu's face became uglier and uglier, and the weird feeling in his heart became even stronger.
At this time, the sky had completely darkened, and the empty rocking chair began to shake again.
Creak, creak...
Everyone stared at the rocking rocking chair nervously, and suddenly, an old voice sounded.
"Sleeping peacefully in the drowsy night fog, the whispers of the devil linger around, the moonlight peeks through the window, and the shadow chases in the corner."
Everyone was shocked and subconsciously tightened their weapons.
"Is this... singing?" Ye Fanyu frowned.
"Lullaby." Su Mu narrowed his eyes and stared at the rocking chair, and the song continued.
"The wind blows, the candlelight shakes, the embrace of darkness is quiet, close your eyes and don't run around, fear burns slowly in your heart.
Go to sleep, baby, don't wake up, the shadow is in the corner, quiet and silent.
Go to sleep, don't open your eyes, there are hands in the darkness, wanting to invite you to cross the bridge.
Go to sleep, close your eyes and don't hide, the soul is lost and can't find relief.
Sleep in this night, don't ask whether it is true or false, until dawn, the nightmare will turn around."
The simple melody of the song coupled with the old voice reveals a bit of weirdness in the dim night.
Everyone listened to this strange song, and they always felt as if there was a pair of invisible hands in the dark, stroking their scalps.
What no one noticed was that as the song sounded, a shadow quietly rose in the corner of the room where the candlelight could not reach. It rose higher and higher, and finally slowly turned into a human figure.
"What does this lyrics mean?" Ye Fanyu was inexplicably upset. This strange environment made him very uncomfortable. He subconsciously asked Su Mu.
But the moment he turned his head to look at Su Mu, his scalp exploded instantly, his face changed wildly, and his body kept retreating and distanced himself from Su Mu.
"Black shadow!!"
He retreated to the corner of the room, holding his right hand like a gun, pointing it at Su Mu's back.
Everyone was shocked and looked at Su Mu in a hurry, but saw a human-shaped black shadow with long arms and a skinny body standing strangely behind him.
"Leader!" Zhao Zhaoyao was anxious and raised the machete in his hand.
"Sumu, behind you!" Yang Dongqing stared at the shadow behind Sumu, not daring to act rashly.
Sumu did not turn around, but smiled faintly: "Behind me?"
"Mr. Su, the shadow has already set his sights on you, let someone else replace you!" Ye Fanyu shouted hurriedly.
However, Sumu did not arrange for his younger brother to die in his place, but turned around calmly, with a tall and thin human-shaped shadow reflected on his brown glasses.
At this time, the shadow had stretched out his slender and dry arms to Sumu.
"Are you inviting me?" Sumu asked.
The shadow did not answer, but stretched his hand forward, and the sharp fingertips formed by the shadow almost touched the brown glasses on his face.
Sumu smiled slightly and stretched out his hand to the shadow: "I accept your invitation."
The next moment, a white and slender palm tightly grasped the shadow's hand!
Everyone was shocked.
"Leader!"
"Sumu you..."
Sumu turned around and smiled at everyone. The faint candlelight hit his face. The candlelight reflected on the brown glasses and flickered slightly: "Don't worry, the answer is hidden in that lullaby."
After that, he closed his eyes and walked into the darkness hand in hand with the shadow.
Everyone stared at Sumu who disappeared in the darkness, lost for a long time.
The house fell into a dead silence. After a long time, Yang Dongqing said: "Although he is a lunatic, I don't think he will take the initiative to seek death. Just now he said that the answer is hidden in the lullaby. Maybe he found something."
Ye Fanyu's eyes flashed with a thoughtful look: "The lyrics of the lullaby say, don't open your eyes, there are hands in the dark, wanting to invite you to cross the bridge, and then close your eyes and don't hide, the soul is lost, and there is no relief.
The hand in the dark should refer to the shadow, so closing your eyes and not hiding is the way to deal with the shadow? "
"It's possible. Su Mu did close his eyes just now."
"Hey, Mr. Su actually risked his life for a line of lyrics. This... This is simply..." Ye Fanyu hesitated and didn't say the second half of the sentence.
Yang Dongqing said for him: "He is simply a madman, right? Yes, he is a madman, and it's not surprising that he can do anything."
"Asshole! How dare you insult the leader! The leader has his own plans for what to do, how can you talk about it behind his back!" Zhao Chaoyao glared at him.
Yang Dongqing glanced at him coldly, ignoring this person who had been brainwashed and stupid for a long time.
"Now is not the time to quarrel. For now, let's disperse and go out to find candles and food. The appearance of the shadow means that this place is no longer safe." Ye Fanyu suggested.
Everyone looked at each other and finally agreed to Ye Fanyu's proposal.
