C2116 Walking in the Dark



C2116 Walking in the Dark

Laurie was a miner, and he did not live a good life, but he was very proud.    

    

This was because six hundred years ago, his ancestors were the leaders of the Kazakh cavalry. They had once led their warriors in a bloody battle against the knights of the prairie who had swept across the Eurasian continent, and had obtained the final victory.    

    

The glorious history of their ancestors had been passed down in the Laurie family for generations. Even though the descendants of the later generations had already been left alone in the mines, they still felt that they possessed a respected bloodline. As for becoming a miner, who wouldn't work and support their families?    

    

Just like how, when his little granddaughter said that she wanted to eat a wild rabbit, Laurie would carry a hunting rifle and come to this mountain range early in the morning.    

    

When the first light of the day lit up, Laurie came to this desolate mountain area. He had always been envious of the Shen Dynasty, or perhaps it was Ah San, because those two countries were the world's most populous countries. No matter where he went, he would be able to see the villages and the pedestrians.    

    

There were not many people like Kazakh. The sky was about to brighten, and there was not a single person on the streets of the town, not to mention the barren hills and wilderness far away from the town.    

    

Stepping on the snow, Laurie led the Hunting Dog. While admiring the Eastern Lands, he lowered his head to look for traces of the rabbit's paw prints.    

    

"Whoosh, whoosh!"    

    

Just as Laurie was carefully searching for signs of claws of the wild rabbit, Dou Dou, who was walking in front, suddenly let out a vigilant low growl, and quickly lay down in a cluster of weeds.    

    

Soybean had accompanied Laurie for seven or eight years, so he was the most experienced hunting dog in the town. Every time he made such a move, it indicated that there was something he couldn't handle himself.    

    

The last time soybeans had done this was two winters ago.    

    

That day, Laurie caught a bear that went out to hunt for food in the winter, and it became the most glorious day of his hunting career. Thus, when he saw Dou Dou's reaction, his first reaction was one of nervousness, followed by happiness.    

    

They were nervous because last time, when they killed that black bear, their Laurie had almost been valiant.    

    

The reason he was happy was because of that bear. It had allowed him to earn a great profit and also allowed him to gain glory.    

    

"Get down!"    

    

Then, he quickly covered himself with the snow and the soybean-like snow. The snow could cover a person's smell, as long as a pair of eyes could be left behind, it would be enough for him to keep a close eye on the outside.    

    

Soybean was also like this, quietly lying beside his master with his mouth tightly shut.    

    

A black shadow appeared in Laurie's line of sight. However, it actually came from Nightmare Valley, and from the looks of it, it wasn't a bear, but a person.    

    

Nightmare Valley was the name given by the town to a valley in this desolate mountain.    

    

It was said that a few years ago, Nightmare Valley had a very pleasant name, it was called Blossom Valley. The climate in the valley was very humid all year round.    

    

However, ever since a couple of Snake-Catcher people went there a few years ago, and seven or eight of them came back alive and became madmen, Blossom Valley was cursed by a demon. Dozens of people went there to explore, but no one came back.    

    

Five or six years had passed, and no one had ever dared to go there again.    

    

Laurie would naturally not go as well – although the exploration was indeed very interesting, he had not lived long enough.    

    

Then, why did this person come over from that direction, and it was also early in the morning. Could it be that this was the soul of a dead person?    

    

Just as Laurie was thinking about this, he discovered another one … Oh, no, not just one.    

    

These people, one by one, appeared within Laurie's line of sight, and their walking movements were a bit strange, just like the zombies in science fiction, their walking movements were not smooth at all, and were very stiff.    

    

Ghosts, these are ghosts!    

    

For some reason, when he saw these Shadow s whose movements were very stiff, Laurie immediately linked them to the legendary ghosts, and immediately covered soybeans' eyes.    

    

He was afraid that the yellow bean would make a sound and be discovered by the ghosts.    

    

Dou Dou was also very obedient. Realizing that he had never been in danger before, she laid there silently without moving.    

    

The shadow drew near.    

    

Laurie lied on the weeds, covered in snow, revealing only a pair of eyes. It was the first person it saw.    

    

Borrowing the light of the morning sun from the east, Laurie could see that this was a woman wearing a black muslin dress. On such a cold day, she was actually only wearing a muslin dress, and her Laurie could even see through her clothes to see her white and greasy skin.    

    

They were definitely ghosts, definitely from Nightmare Valley, because that was the place that was as warm as spring.    

    

Behind the woman was a man, behind the man was a man, a woman was a man, a woman was a man-- There were many, many people who acted strangely, walking in the wilderness in the early morning. No one spoke, no one even made any footsteps, just silently walking quickly, turning west from the front, towards the direction of the even more majestic mountain range.    

    

Looking at these people, Laurie suddenly remembered that on the day of his wife's funeral last year, her relatives had been like this as they walked towards the grave in a straight line.    

    

However, there were too many ghosts and these people had already walked continuously for more than half an hour in front of the Laurie, yet they still had not come to an end, as if they would never be able to finish walking.    

    

Laurie only felt that he was frozen, including his eyes.    

    

He wanted to close his eyes. He didn't want to see these terrifying ghosts again.    

    

He hoped that when he opened his eyes again, the ghosts were gone, the sun was high in the sky, and the children in the distance were calling his name.    

    

But he couldn't close his eyes, because -- there was a ghost who accidentally looked down and saw his gaze.    

    

It was a female specter, a very beautiful female specter, even more beautiful than all the women Laurie had seen in their entire lives added together. She was even a little like the legendary Virgin Mary, especially when she stopped to smile at him.    

    

The Laurie was stunned, and all the blood in his body froze.    

    

He didn't know what to do. Just as he was about to grab his shotgun and jump up from the grass, his eyelids drooped down heavily and he fell into the endless darkness. He seemed to hear soybeans growl, and then he didn't know what to say.    

    

Slowly, his Laurie regained consciousness.    

    

He was still in the dark, but he was one of those ghosts, dressed in a flowing black robe, walking at the head of the line. The beautiful woman was right behind him, and behind her was the long line of people who could not see their heads.    

    

As before, there was not a single sound. Everyone stepped on the footprints he had walked past and headed towards the mountains in the northwest direction.    

    

He did not know where he was going. He did not know why he was walking at the forefront, much less where the soybeans were, why they had disappeared, why there was no light, no wind, only endless darkness.    

    

Walking in the darkness.    

    

His body didn't feel tired at all, but his mind was about to collapse.    

    

What people feared the most was not death or fainting, but when he was dying or fainting, he would still have his consciousness. He would be able to see what normal people could not see, but he would not be able to say it out loud.    

    

Laurie is very tired, very miss soybeans, miss family.    

    

How he longed to hear the yellow beans and see the sun and feel the wind!    

    

"Woof, woof woof!"    

    

Just when Laurie felt that he could no longer persevere and could only halt his steps and fall into an even darker abyss, Dou Dou's loud and beautiful screams suddenly rang next to his ears!    

    

Laurie immediately opened his eyes.    

    

Then they saw soybeans, saw the sun, felt the wind — and those terrible ghosts, together with the darkness, vanished.    

    

He returned to the human world and saw himself surrounded by heavily armed criminals.    

    

The appearance of those criminals made him even more nervous and happy. They always gave people a sense of security, didn't they?    

    

"He's awake, Colonel Petrov!"    

    

The moment Laurie opened his eyes, he was discovered by a criminal and immediately reported to his superior.    

    

A heavily bearded criminal criminal with a cloak draped over his shoulders, holding a pair of binoculars and looking towards the mountains, immediately turned around and walked over. His eyes were very bright, like a hawk in the sky.    

    

Colonel Petrov, the bearded colonel who was the highest ranking officer in the Kazakh region and stationed at the Criminal Law Tribe, had received orders in the early hours of the morning from the Military Special Operations Section of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to hide a large number of terrorists near the Valley of Hundred Flowers, so that he did not need to personally lead a team to investigate this area.    

    

At around 2 in the morning, Colonel Petrov received the order to pack up and set off after 15 minutes. There were 200 plus people on a tank and armored car, and they were all equipped with big weapons.    

    

It would take about an hour and a half to reach Blossom Valley from the encampment.    

    

Colonel Petrov predicted that they would definitely be able to get to the Blossom Valley before four in the morning to investigate.    

    

However, what caused him and the rest of the Criminal Law Tribe to feel extremely terrified was: At four in the morning, they should have appeared in the Hundred Flowers Valley, but in reality, one of them was circling around in the wilderness. All of their navigation equipment had failed, and a white fog surrounded them.    

    

Colonel Petrov, upon realizing that something was wrong, immediately realized that he had encountered a strange situation and immediately ordered the troops to stop advancing. No one was allowed to sleep, and no one was allowed to act alone.    

    

The sky slowly brightened.    

    

When Petrov's Criminal Law Tribe was restored and he quickly left the fog, he found that the sun was right above his head. It was already noon, and his Criminal Law Tribe was less than ten kilometers away from Blossom Valley. He also saw a barking hound.    

    

It was the hound that led Petrov's Criminal Law Tribe to the entrance of the Hundred Flowers Valley.    

    

Laurie slowly stood up, and looked towards the valley.    

    

Many years ago, Laurie had come to Hundred Flowers Valley a few times and took the risk to pick flowers for his beloved girl.    

    

At that time, the Hundred Flowers Valley was full of flowers and filled with life.    

    

However, the Hundred Flowers Valley that he saw now was dead and sunken. Other than withered grass and withered trees, it was as if even the rocks were dead. There was nothing there, and he could not feel even the slightest bit of life.
