Atavismo - Capítulo 22

Capítulo 22

Gu Feng stiffened, his tone resolute. Knowing he couldn't hide it from her any longer, Gu Feng paused, then said softly, "Ah Mao said that he followed me in."

Shixin slumped onto the sofa.

what does that mean?

That scream! The strange thing happening inside the karate club!

Nemesis!! ? ?

How are you?

Gu Feng looked at Shi Xin, knowing how upset she was, and comforted her, "Maybe he got pushed out by the crowd halfway there!"

Shi Xin remained silent.

Gu Feng sat down and asked in a strange tone, "You... care about him a lot, right?"

Shi Xin was clearly surprised that Gu Feng would ask this question, and said awkwardly, "He... his nemesis is my neighbor, my classmate, and even more so, my friend. Of course I care!"

Gu Feng sighed inwardly, "Shi Xin, you know what I'm referring to."

Since he was unwilling to say it, Gu Feng was not one to force him, so he laughed and said, "Hehe, that's right, why would I ask such a silly question, hehe."

Gu Feng glanced at the time; it was almost midnight.

"Shixin, it's late, let's go to sleep. We have a lot to do tomorrow!"

Shixin nodded and asked, "Where do I sleep?"

Gu Feng looked up at his room, thinking of Li Hua who had disappeared at the door earlier, and frowned, saying, "I'll sleep here."

Shixin understood his concerns and nodded obediently.

Gu Feng said, "Wait a moment, I'll go upstairs and get the sheets."

Shixin hesitated for a moment, but felt it was inappropriate to follow him even for just a few steps, so she said "Okay".

Gu Feng stood up, hesitated for a moment, and finally took off the amulet from his chest, saying, "Take this first. After all, anything can happen at this time."

Shixin protested, "No, you should keep it on you."

Gu Feng insisted, "Take it!"

Shi Xin looked at him in surprise and doubt, then tremblingly took it. Gu Feng's tone was so resolute!

After climbing the stairs, Gu Feng arrived at the door of the room on the second floor, took a deep breath, and decisively opened the door.

There was nothing there.

Gu Feng turned on the light, hastily gathered the things on the bed, and immediately turned around. Just now, it seemed like there was something in the wardrobe mirror?

Stop thinking about it. Gu Feng ran off. Today was too strange. It was best to keep his curiosity to a minimum. Besides, Gu Feng could guess that if he took it too seriously, nothing good would come of it!

The blue-faced, white-shadowed figure in the mirror had a strange, eerie smile...

Gu Feng knew that Shi Xin would be scared. Just like that time in the judo club, the two leaned against the sofa and slept under the same blanket.

Gu Feng gazed intently at Shi Xin, who had her eyes closed.

It's so beautiful.

It's comparable to that ancient corpse.

However, the two are completely different types. One is classical and elegant, while the other is sunny and simple.

It was another kind of captivated appreciation, still without any hint of disrespect.

Shi Xin seemed to sense Gu Feng's gaze and suddenly opened her eyes.

Their eyes met, and Gu Fengteng blushed deeply, hurriedly turning his head away. Shi Xin, however, burst into laughter.

Gu Feng was infected by that laughter and relaxed a little. Shi Xin, I hope you can always keep this kind of laughter and never be threatened by fear again!

Shi Xin laughed for a while and then fell asleep again. Gu Feng held the amulet tightly in his hand, staring at the familiar yet unfamiliar hall, carefully looking at the places he thought were suspicious, not daring to blink even once.

Not only for herself, but also for the one beside her, Shixin, whose breathing was even and who gradually fell asleep.

Gu Feng looked at her with a slight smile, and a feeling suddenly came to him.

Shixin, I want to protect you, for a lifetime!

Through the long night, the ancient style continues to protect us...

The last day of September passed amidst this series of strange events. How will he face tomorrow, the first day of October?

Sleepless night

Gu Yuehan, April 18, 18:56

Chapter 30 of Volume 2: Blood Sacrifice

The first rays of October sunlight streamed through the window, and Gu Feng breathed a deep sigh of relief. The long night was finally over. Although he had seen a few more strange shadows, things were relatively calm, perhaps because of the talisman in his hand!

Gu Feng glanced at it, then hung it on his body again.

Shixin was sleeping soundly, and Gu Feng felt a little reluctant to wake him.

A while later, it was already six o'clock. Shixin's phone alarm went off, and she stretched and opened her eyes with difficulty.

Looking at the ancient-style dress, Shi Xin gave a deep, toothy smile: "Did you sleep well last night?"

Gu Feng chuckled and said, "Okay, okay."

Shixin turned off her ringing phone; a new day had begun.

After tidying up, Gu Feng packed a bag of luggage, and Shi Xin insisted on going with him, so they went back to her house first and also brought some things. Then the two of them boarded the bus heading west.

Gu Feng had traveled far before, but mostly when he heard about bizarre and exaggerated ghost stories and went to uncover them. It was nothing like now, which felt like he was fleeing in panic.

The car drove out of the city, and there were no modern buildings around, only green mountains and trees. Thinking of his parents who were missing, Gu Feng leaned back in his seat and sighed deeply.

Shi Xin suddenly stared out the window and shouted, "Gu Feng, look! What's that?"

Gu Feng turned around and saw a faint black cloud floating on the roof of the car, moving with the car without missing a step.

Gu Feng was startled. Although it wasn't as intense as the black aura from yesterday, it still exuded an eerie atmosphere.

He grabbed Shixin's hand and held the amulet tightly in his left hand.

The car shook and began to jolt. Gu Feng saw that the driver had actually driven off the road and into a dark mountain road, and shouted, "Master, have you taken the wrong road?"

"No~~~~" The deep, emotionless tone sent a chill down Gu Feng's spine. His heart skipped a beat. Why did he feel a cold draft behind him? Who was this fellow suffering from severe typhoid fever, breathing so icy coldly?

Don't look back!

These words flashed through Gu Feng's mind.

Superstitiously speaking, a person has a pure yang fire on their back. If they turn around rashly under unfavorable circumstances, the fire will be extinguished, and they will be trapped and unable to escape. Scientifically speaking, out of sight, out of mind. Whatever it is, I didn't see it!

Even without turning around, one's eyes cannot be clear. Suddenly, the chair in front tilted, and a middle-aged woman with a deathly pale face stared blankly at the two of them.

Shixin bit her lip hard, trying not to cry out, but her body trembled involuntarily.

"Whoosh!" The car swerved sharply, heading deeper into the dark forest. Due to the inertia, Gu Feng and his companion were thrown to the side. Out of the corner of their eye, they saw that the middle-aged woman was completely still.

The two men straightened up again, while the middle-aged woman just stared at them blankly, showing no sign of "cheating".

Gu Feng was unsure of what to do. If this aunt wasn't that "thing," wouldn't he make a fool of himself and become a laughingstock if he rashly used his amulet to suppress her?

As Gu Feng hesitated, the cold feeling behind him pressed down again. He exclaimed "Ya!" and grabbed the talisman, sticking it behind him.

Feeling as if he had bumped into something, Gu Feng turned around to look.

"Hey buddy, what are you doing? Even if my sunglasses are a bit too big, if you don't like them, just say so. Why do you have to resort to violence?"

A middle-aged man around forty years old, holding his glasses which had almost been shattered by Gu Feng, shouted.

Gu Feng gave an awkward smile: "Sorry, sorry!" He quickly turned back, looking embarrassed.

What happened?

If it's a human being, why is its breathing so cold?

Gu Feng looked at Shi Xin and smiled speechlessly. Suddenly, a thought flashed through his mind. Out of the corner of his eye, where did that middle-aged woman go?

Gu Feng turned around and looked around, then was immediately shocked. Where were they? Where were all those passengers who were just crowding to get on?

Gu Feng reluctantly turned around and glanced back.

Empty! The guy in sunglasses vanished in an instant?

They both stood up in surprise. Even the driver was gone.

Who is controlling this car?

Gu Feng discovered something strange: the steering wheel was moving on its own.

In an instant, everyone vanished, leaving them standing there dumbfounded, mouths agape. Good heavens, it's daytime!

The two were at a loss, and following their own swerving of the steering wheel, they arrived at a place where the car stopped.

They understood that it was time to get off the bus; things would remain the same, and no one could escape it.

"With your human strength, it's very difficult to contend with that thing! With your human strength, it's very difficult to contend with that thing!"

He Ye's words lingered in my ears for a long time.

As Gu Feng slowly stepped out of the car, he held Shi Xin's hand tightly and looked around.

This was deep in a dense forest, where towering trees completely blocked out the sun. In the past, Gu Feng would have thought this was a perfect place to cool off! But now, the situation was different. What he could feel was boundless mystery, boundless eeriness, and even boundless killing intent!

At the head of the tomb, a mound of earth stands there. Although there is no tombstone, it is not hard to guess that it is a burial site.

What's the meaning?

What does it mean that "he" manipulated me to come here?

In the boundless silence, it seemed as if a pair of eyes could see into everyone's heart—ghost eyes! He seemed to hear the doubts in Gu Feng's heart. Then, a strange sound, so cold and desolate, pierced through the air, freezing everyone in their tracks!

"Blood sacrifice!"

The ancient style is truly shocking. Blood sacrifice?

He couldn't help but hold Shixin tighter. Faced with this omnipresent thing, Gu Feng suddenly felt helpless and lost.

He paused for a moment, lost in thought.
