Chapter 44 Illusion

In the darkness.

Su Mu closed his eyes tightly, holding the big hand made of shadows, which was slender, cold and hard.

It was not a human hand at all, but more like a hand holding the dead body of some monster.

With his eyes closed, Su Mu could not know what environment he was in. Although his spirit was strong, it was not strong enough to replace his eyes.

He was like a blind man, led by the shadow, walking slowly forward.

Here, time seemed to have lost its meaning. He could not perceive the passage of time at all. He seemed to have walked for a long time, and also seemed to have walked for a while.

It was silent all around, and he could not hear the footsteps of the shadow and himself.

Gradually, the sound of water sounded under Su Mu's feet, but the sound was a little dull, not like walking in the rain, but more like stepping on some thicker liquid.

Blood?

Su Mu guessed casually, without any panic in his heart, but rather looking forward to it.

Before, when he saw Tingting holding hands with the shadow in the time silhouette, he guessed that the shadow pulled people into the darkness, and might not kill them directly.

It's a simple truth. If Tingting was killed by the black shadow, she would most likely become a monster like Wang Li, but Tingting was not seen among the villagers.

Moreover, Tingting in the time silhouette obviously knew the black shadow, and even talked to the black shadow: "Are you the nightmare that grandma talked about?"

This sentence shows that Tingting learned about the existence of the black shadow from her grandmother a long time ago.

The lullaby that grandma sang just now is probably what grandma sang to her every night.

Why didn't Tingting become a monster by the black shadow? It should be that she listened to her grandmother's words, closed her eyes and walked hand in hand with the black shadow.

That's why Su Mu chose to go with the black shadow, he won't live for a few days.

According to his idea, even if he can't become a superhuman, it might be good to become a nightmare monster like the villagers. After all, the villagers are very strong and difficult to kill.

As time passed, Su Mu found that the sound in his ears became clearer and clearer, and there was even the sound of wind whistling.

Boom!

He stepped on the hard ground, without the sound of water.

As he continued to move forward, he found that the ground was tilted upward and curved.

Bridge?

He remembered the song that there was a hand in the darkness, trying to pull you across the bridge.

He continued to follow the shadow, and when the ground rose to a certain height, it began to drop again, as if he was getting off the bridge.

Soon, he walked down from the bridge, and at this moment! A voice came to his ears!

"Leader!"

Sumu was very familiar with this voice. He clearly remembered that it was the voice of the younger brother who was pulled away by the shadow before.

The younger brother's voice was very excited, as if he didn't expect to see the leader here.

"Leader, are you here to save me?" A hurried trot came from far to near in the darkness, and it was obviously the younger brother who ran over.

However, Sumu didn't pay attention, nor did he open his eyes. Instead, he raised a smile of interest at the corner of his mouth.

Interesting.

"Leader, why don't you speak? Open your eyes and look at me!" The younger brother's voice was closer this time, almost in Sumu's ear.

Su Mu frowned slightly, but still closed his eyes: "Get away!"

The footsteps of the younger brother paused, and there was a hint of resentment and trembling in his voice: "Chief, are you going to abandon me? I have been following you!!"

"Yeah."

Su Mu responded very confidently.

He always remembered the lyrics: "Sleep, 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 the dawn, the nightmare will turn around."

The meaning of this lyric is very clear, that is, to close your eyes tightly and not be deceived by illusions, otherwise the soul will be lost in the darkness. As for when to open your eyes, it is naturally until dawn.

When it comes to the means of confusing people, Su Mu admits that no one dares to admit that he is the first. It is impossible for him to be confused by a mere illusion.

After being rejected, the younger brother's breathing became heavier and his tone became cold: "Chief, since you have abandoned me, you can't live! Go to hell!"

The voice full of resentment exploded, and the younger brother rushed towards Su Mu frantically.

If it were an ordinary person, he would definitely open his eyes in fear, but Su Mu didn't. He just walked forward calmly and ignored it at all.

Sure enough, when the sound of the younger brother's charge reached Su Mu's ears, everything stopped abruptly, and the sound returned to silence again.

He continued to move forward, gradually feeling a trace of warmth, and a beam of light pierced into his closed eyes. The feeling was like closing your eyes in front of the sun during the day. Even if you close your eyes, you can still feel the dazzling light.

"Chief!" Zhao Zhaoyao's surprised voice came from a distance.

"Mr. Su, you are back?" Ye Fanyu's voice was also a little surprised.

"Sumu wake up, why are you still closing your eyes? What did you encounter after you left with the black shadow?"

The voices of the crowd all poured into Sumu's ears, but he still did not open his eyes, but sneered.

"It's really clumsy, can you use your brain before lying?" Sumu was too lazy to complain.

When a normal person sees that he is alive, the first reaction is definitely not welcome, but vigilance and suspicion. After all, Wang Li has become a monster like the villagers.

Moreover, it is known that the black shadow only appears at night or in the shadows. Now the sunlight is so dazzling, but the black shadow's hand is still holding his hand. How is this possible?

The voices around paused, and then the tone of Zhao Chaoyao and others became extremely cold.

"He found it."

"Kill him!"

"Yes, kill him!"

A group of people rushed towards Su Mu, and inhuman roars broke out from their mouths.

Similarly, after these voices rushed to the front, they became quiet.

Su Mu walked for a while, and this time he heard some different voices, the voices of children!

"Fool!"

"Hey, the big fool Tingting is here!"

"Go, go, we don't play with fools."

A group of children were laughing, and Tingting's aggrieved voice sounded in the midst of the laughter: "Tingting is not a fool!"

"Lululu... Look, this fool is crying."

"Aren't you a fool? Your parents don't want you because you are stupid."

"You are talking nonsense, grandma said that mom and dad went out to work, and they didn't want Tingting!"
