Chapter 4

This stone can hurt the mysterious figure in white. It is probably some kind of special item. In addition, it is small, so even if there is some movement, it is not easy to detect.

Moreover, if it can be strengthened, Baishi will be more powerful, and it will be much safer to deal with the mysterious shadow from before.

Thinking of this, he picked up a white stone and looked at Little Stutter.

"Can you give me a piece? Thank you for saving me just now! I will repay you."

He said seriously.

Little Stutter shook his head.

"This is no longer useful," she explained. "If you want it, just take it."

Yu Hong nodded, picked up the white stone and looked at it.

The stone was only the size of a thumbnail, with a dark red complex symbol painted on the surface, which looked like some kind of religious talisman. At this time, one-third of the stone had turned black, and it was unknown why.

The stone feels icy and cool to the touch, just like touching an ice cube, a bit chilly to the bone.

hiss.

Soon, a number appeared on the surface of the stone: 3rd.

Soon a thought appeared, and the black mark seemed to feel it, and a voice quickly came out.

'Do you want to strengthen the target?'

Yu Hong put Bai Shi into his trouser pocket.

Try to respond mentally: Yes.

The moment after he answered in the affirmative, the black mark on the back of his hand became slightly hot and then subsided.

Immediately afterwards, Shiraishi also pressed the iron in his trouser pocket, and then returned to normal.

To Shiraishi's movements, the little stutterer beside him didn't react at all.

"Are you okay?" Little Stutter looked at him curiously and asked.

"It's getting dark soon. We must prepare," she stammered.

"What are you preparing for?" Yu Hong asked. At this time, after the intense emotions and physical exertion just now, his already weak body began to return to normal due to the disappearance of hormones.

He was still in a state of inflammation and illness. He had only temporarily needed physical strength and mental energy to deal with the danger. Now that the danger had passed, his body began to fight against viruses and bacteria again.

The immune system begins to divide immune cells in large numbers again, and the body temperature begins to rise again.

"Monsters are dangerous at night," the little stuttered reply.

As she spoke, she glanced at the window. The sunlight in the cracks outside was getting darker and darker.

That kind of darkness is a little abnormal and a little too fast.

It was so fast that Yu Hong could feel with his naked eyes that the light was getting darker.

This strange phenomenon made him feel more and more anxious.

Puff, plop, ding, ding, ding, ding.

Little Stutter pulled out a hammer from somewhere and started pounding the nails on the edges of the doors and windows, as if reinforcing and checking the surrounding area.

The door was hung with thick chains from the inside, and three horizontal bolts were lowered.

Each door latch is as thick as an arm. The contact surface between the door latch and the door panel has long been rubbed smooth. Obviously this is not the first time this has happened.

The light is getting darker and darker.

Yu Hong stood in the room blankly for a while, then quickly came to his senses and tried to help check the safety of the gap.

But because he was completely unfamiliar with the environment, Little Stutter soon disliked him for being a hindrance and pushed him back to sit on the bed.

"Don't cause trouble." Little Stutterer said seriously. After saying that, he crawled under the bed and came out with a large black cloth bag.

The bag was opened, and it was filled with densely packed white stones. She began to find a red pen, picked up the white stones one by one, and carefully wrote red symbols on them.

"So it turns out that she drew these red symbols herself?" Yu Hong looked at this scene with a confused expression.

Eh~~~Eh~~~~

Suddenly, an extremely weak, thin, theatrical female voice came from outside the house.

The voice was ups and downs, tactful and strange, like crying, but also like a performance, with a strange feeling of half truth and half falsehood.

Snap.

The little stutter on the side obviously heard the sound. He quickly grabbed a few white stones and gave them to Yu Hong. Then he picked up a yellow candle in the corner and rubbed it with something like a magnesium rod to light it.

He held the candle again and stared at the door and window nervously.

Yu Hong stood behind her and found that the candle was extremely thick, as thick as an egg.

"Here we come." Little Stutter said suddenly.

At this time, Yu Hong also noticed that the light outside the window completely disappeared.

Only a piece of black that cannot be dissolved is left, seeping in from the outside.

Is it night? Why so fast?

He wanted to speak, but waves of dizziness suddenly appeared in his mind, constantly impacting his consciousness. His body was getting hotter and hotter, and he thought he might have a fever, and his throat was getting more and more painful.

He needs to drink water and take medicine. Antipyretic medicine

Otherwise the situation may not be good.

He knew his situation. He had the same feeling when he got sick with colds and fevers in the past.

Moreover, the last time I had a fever of 39 degrees, I was still not as weak as I am now. It was probably because I was overly frightened before.

Sitting on the edge of the bed, he squeezed Bai Shi tightly and stared at the door and window nervously with his eyes wide open.

In the room, the two of them were quiet, waiting.

For a moment, the only sounds in the air were the breathing and heartbeats of the two of them.

This state of affairs did not last long.

Snap.

Finally, a slight movement came from outside the door.

"Coming!" Little Stutter said loudly.

Her body tensed up, and the muscle lines on her arms were clearly exposed. She held the thick candle high in her right hand, letting the firelight form a circle and cover the entire room as much as possible.

Yu Hong was also watching nervously behind her.

He didn't know what would happen, but he had stuttered since childhood, and something bad might happen soon.

After all, even that white shadow just now never made her so nervous.

Soon, their wait finally came to fruition.

In the darkness, the sound of crawling insects began to appear outside the door and window.

The sound was extremely sudden and extremely dense, like it suddenly went from a silent hollow to a noisy desert.

The sand continued to flow across the doors and windows of the house, making a thin sound.

Soon, Yu Hong opened his eyes wide and saw the gap between the door and window. The gap was less than one centimeter, and small black insects crawled in.

The insects were as densely packed as sand, and at least hundreds or even thousands of them could get in at once.

Each of them is only the size of an ant, like a beetle, with an oval carapace on its back, a head with a ferocious mouthpart like a centipede, no eyes, and more than ten pairs of densely packed legs and feet.

Overall, it looks like a shortened version of a black millipede.

The dense insects quickly swarmed into the house, making a thin sound as they crawled, and the thin female voice that was faintly visible in the air became closer and closer, becoming clearer and clearer.

"Get out!!" Little Stutterer yelled, but strangely he held the candle motionless and stood in the middle of the room, just roaring.

Yu Hong sat by the bed and wanted to get up to help, but his weak body didn't have much energy left.

His vest was sweating, but the sweat was quickly evaporated by the high body temperature.

Looking at the black insects that kept getting into the house through the cracks, his whole body became tense and trembling.

The horrific scene of insects crawling all over his body and biting his flesh kept popping up in his mind.

This is human instinctive fear that cannot be suppressed.

But just then.

hiss.

The fastest one to get in was a piece of black worm, which entered the range of candle light.

And at this moment, something unexpected happened.

These extremely scary-looking black insects actually quickly dissolved under the yellowish light of the candle, turned into black smoke, and evaporated away.

Wisps of black smoke rose densely, all of which were dissolved by black insects.
