MTL - Okay, I Can’t Eat This-Chapter 43
Once you step on something like a swamp, you cannot struggle. The more you struggle, the faster it will sink. If you fall into a swamp without rescue, the mortality rate will be over 80%.
There are few that sink shallowly, you can escape by increasing your stress area, such as lying down or lying down, and try to pull out your sinking legs little by little, if you are wearing a windbreaker. Even better, you can take off your coat and lay it flat on the swamp, so that the area of force is larger and the possibility of escape is also greater.
But what Xie Chi fell into was no ordinary swamp, she could feel something grabbing her legs and dragging her down.
Looking down, you can see that there are shallow puddles on the surface of the swamp, and there are broken faces in the puddles, and each face is full of malice.
They are looking forward to Xie Chi being dragged down to become one of them.
The most terrifying thing is that Xie Chi can't move, her body seems to be extremely heavy, a movement of bowing her head has exhausted most of Xie Chi's strength, she wanted to raise her hand, but only moved one finger for a long time. .
This is in a dream.
Xie Chi can clearly recognize this, she can break free as long as she wakes up, but she can't wake up unless there is external help.
But who would come to her room late at night?
Xie Chi knew that when encountering danger, you can't be nervous. You have to calm down and think. The more nervous you are, the easier it is to think in confusion. Instead, you can't find the escape door right under your eyes.
But to be honest, when faced with danger, there are really not many people who can completely calm down. The feeling of stepping towards the edge of death step by step can really drive people crazy.
Xie Chi was extremely calm and kept observing the surroundings. The foggy surroundings couldn't see anything clearly, as if something was deliberately blocking her line of sight so that she could not see the surroundings clearly, and there were a lot of shadowy things nearby, all like While peeking at her, sometimes approaching and sometimes far away.
Hee hee laughter was always in her ears, and even the same voice came from her feet. This was her dream, but it was under the control of others.
Xie Chi squatted down and stretched out her hand to try it. Under the thin layer of water, it seemed like it was bottomless, but under her feet it was like stepping on mud. She did not dare to lie on the water like an ordinary person trying to survive. , because there is a greater chance of being pulled directly into the water.
All she can do is to calm herself down and carefully look for flaws. No matter what kind of technique, it will not be perfect. As long as she finds that flaw, she can survive.
Where is the problem?
Xie Chi observed everything around him over and over again, whether it was the mist around him, the ghosts in the mist, or the mud under his feet.
But can't find it...not at all.
Mainly Xie Chi couldn't move at all. She could only observe with her eyes. She could vaguely see some dead trees in the fog. Some ghosts were clinging to the branches of the dead trees. Xie Chi cast a malicious look here.
It seems that they are waiting for the moment Xie Chi dies, they will pounce on her and divide her food.
Xie Chi's legs were completely immersed in the mud, and it wouldn't take long for her to be completely engulfed.
But there was no way, no way to crack it at all. Even Xie Chi was a little anxious. The more he sank, the harder the hands that were pulling her under his feet seemed to be impatient. It suddenly doubled.
Xie Chi stared around, and suddenly realized something, she quickly raised her head and looked at the top of her head, as Xie Chi expected! On top of her head, there was a piece of light-colored liquid that seemed to be seawater, and was clearer.
She saw her own shadow in it, as well as her feet, which kept pulling her down and pulling the evil spirits down.
Where is the mud under her feet, it is clearly a piece of skeleton soaked in water.
All the bones stretched out their hands and grabbed Xie Chi's ankles and pants!
The fog and ghosts around are just things to confuse Xie Chi!
The existence that looks like a mirror image on the top of the head is Xie Chi's only way to survive. By breaking the mirror image, Xie Chi can temporarily get out of the predicament!
She stretched out her hand with difficulty, trying to touch the mirror image above her head rippling with water waves, but at this time, Xie Chi was completely submerged in water.
Her eyes sank underwater, grumbled, and spit out a few bubbles.
Too late...something too late.
Xie Chi doesn't have enough time to break the mirror image. Her soul is fixed there by the mirror image. Unless someone breaks the mirror image at this time, Xie Chi will not be able to get freedom.
Once they can be free, what are those little devils?
Are you going to die?
Xie Chi didn't expect that she would capsize in the gutter. In her mind, there were many images of people, the master, the brothers and sisters, and the mother who died early.
And... dango.
She promised to help her get back to normal, but unfortunately... it couldn't be done.
The feeling of suffocation and still sinking, completely invaded Xie Chi. Surprisingly, her previous nervousness has completely disappeared, and death doesn't seem to be so scary, at least she can face it very calmly.
It's just that there are inevitably some regrets in life, which makes this calmness somewhat unclear at this moment.
Xie Chi was completely submerged, and only the hand that was trying to reach upwards was left, and there were still fingertips on the water.
Just when Xie Chi felt her mind go blank, a hand suddenly held hers.
It was cold and cold, like a jade carving, and it was much softer than a jade carving. That hand held Xie Chi tightly, so hard, it was as if she would lose Xie Chi forever if she let go of her hand.
The person holding Xie Chi's hand is very strong. Xie Chi feels that he is being pulled back to the ground little by little, and the bones below are also trying hard to drag her back to hell.
The confrontation between the two sides made Xie Chi's body uncomfortable, as if it was about to be torn apart.
But she was still being pulled out bit by bit.
who is it…
Xie Chi raised her head and her eyes were wide open, trying to see the person who was trying to save her through the rippling water. She could only see a vague outline, long hair hanging on the water, and nothing else. Can't see clearly.
My body hurts a lot, but it's still tolerable.
It's just that after staying in the water for a long time, it is inevitable that some can't breathe.
Xie Chi didn't seem to feel the pain at all, and stared at the surface of the water seriously, until the barrier between them became shallower and shallower, and the water wave could no longer completely cover the person's face.
puff!
Xie Chi's cheeks finally burst out of the water, she opened her eyes diligently, and finally saw clearly who was holding her hands tightly!
It was a very beautiful face, with tightly pursed thin lips, with a very bright color and like a blade, with gentle edges and corners between opening and closing: "Achi, don't be afraid."
Those eyes should not have much warmth, but when they looked at Xie Chi, they were full of complicated emotions, which were difficult to understand for a while, but there was no lack of tenderness in them.
Xie Chi opened her mouth and almost called out her name, but the woman leaned down and kissed Xie Chi's lips.
The air returned to Xie Chi's lungs through this special channel. Xie Chi didn't need artificial respiration, so he was a little embarrassed, but because he was still under control, there was no way to break free.
So she could only feel the soft lips and the coolness between tossing and turning, and she tried her best to signal with her eyes. Now the most important thing is the mirror image on the top of her head.
The woman didn't know if she understood Xie Chi's meaning. Anyway, they kissed for a long time. It was like a hooligan until she didn't stop. She raised her head, let out a long breath, and looked a little embarrassed with her clear and cold eyes. Xie Chi, there seems to be a little more shyness in his eyes.
The woman's appearance was originally that kind of cold and glamorous type. At this moment, the corners of the eyes were slightly more crimson, and the whole face seemed to be bright.
She slowly lowered her head and gently wiped Xie Chi's lips with her free hand.
Xie Chi:…
"Above, little black."
"It's Lin Xia." The woman corrected her seriously.
She was a little afraid to let go of Xie Chi's hand, probably because she was afraid that if she let go, Xie Chi would be completely dragged down by the group of evil ghosts, so Lin Xia shook her hair, and her long black hair extended infinitely in an instant. It looks a bit like a whip when twisted together.
The long black hair slammed violently on the mirror image above his head, and with a crisp sound like glass shattering, the entire mirror image was completely shattered.
Xie Chi finally felt the joy of being able to move freely with her hands and feet again. She broke free from Lin Xia's hand and let the dry bones below drag her down.
Only this time, Xie Chi was like a fish returning to the sea. She sneered, and was dragged directly to the bottom by the dead bones, which was the place with a piece of corpse.
All the dead bones seemed to be alive, and the joints made a clicking sound, and they rushed towards Xie Chi. Xie Chi moved her hands and feet. Without being restricted from movement, she would be afraid of a pile of bones?
Xie Chi can kick a piece with one sweep of his leg, okay?
With punching and kicking, the pile of bones was kicked all over the ground with broken bones, and the depression in her heart was swept away, and she slowly moved upstream like a mermaid.
After resurfacing, Xie Chi didn't have time to speak when Lin Xia suddenly said, "Can you still breathe? There's no air under the water, right? You seem to be feeling very uncomfortable."
Xie Chi was especially vigilant: "No, I didn't..."
But it was too late, Lin Xia held Xie Chi's chin with both hands, as serious as he could be: "I'll help you."
Xie Chi: "Woooooo!"
