Screaming Cycle

Ji Tuan walked about one kilometer south towards the city center.

During this distance, he found two more sets of clothes on the street, a set of men's clothing and a set of women's clothing, all ranging from outerwear to underwear. Shoes and socks and backpacks were also in place.

What’s even more frightening is that this time, the two clothes not only maintain a roughly human shape, but the left sleeve of the men’s wear is also placed on the shoulder of the female skirt. It looks like when a man is holding his female partner, People's bodies disappeared together in an instant, leaving only a piece of clothing to prove that they existed.

Ji Lu realized that what he needed to worry about was no longer why he appeared in such ashes and ruins, but what the owner of these sets of clothes experienced before suddenly disappearing?

He didn't dare to walk down the street like this.

Ji Xuan feels insecure with empty hands, so he took a kitchen knife from a grocery store along the street and inserted it into the side pocket of his bow bag. Then, feeling insecure, he took the broom and placed it on his side. The stick is used.

In this city, they will come for training every summer. Starting from being selected for the youth team and counting this year, Ji Shu has already been here three times.

He remembered that there was an overpass at the next intersection. After crossing the overpass, turn right and walk along a long street of banyan trees to the end. This is his destination.

Sure enough, dozens of meters ahead, he saw an I-shaped overpass at the intersection.

Now that there is not even a moving car on the road, Ji Tuan does not need to care about the traffic rules, just cross the road directly.

But there were two two-way magnetic levitation tracks in the middle of the road, and one-person-high guardrails were blocked on both sides. It took more effort to climb the wall twice than to climb the sky bridge, so he still got on the pedestrian bridge obediently.

When I look down from a high place, I can more intuitively realize how weird the city looks.

Ji Xing saw that all the areas within his naked eye could see were patches of gray.

When he went to the north to compete in the winter, he had also seen the city covered in silver with thick snow, but now the heavy snow has changed to ash, and the clean white has become a deep haze. The lead dust suddenly gave people a strong sense of psychological oppression as if the end of the world was approaching.

—No, maybe this is really the end of the world.

Ji Tuan stared at the thick black cloud at the end of his vision, thinking with a gloomy mood.

Otherwise, how could a good city be like this, without even seeing a single figure?

-Hey!

He suddenly opened his eyes.

Because he saw the second living person besides himself.

Although the distance is a little far away, there is indeed a person walking swiftly down the street.

The man turned his back to the sky bridge, and Ji Tuan could only see his back.

Judging from the tall and tall figure of the man, he felt that the other party should be a tall man.

However, as a man, the man had left long hair again. It was dark and drooping, and it was almost able to cover his waist and eyes by visual inspection. The silky hair rose and fell with his steps, which was really eye-catching.

"Hey!"

Ji Lu hurriedly yelled from a distance toward the person's back.

But the long-haired man didn't seem to hear his voice at all, let alone turning around, he didn't even raise his head.

"Hey, hello!"

Ji Shu was anxious, and pulled his hands on the railing, using a louder volume than before, and yelled twice.

The long-haired man still didn't look back.

He kept walking, walking along the street covered with dust, and looking at the direction, it was just south of the commercial district.

Ji Lu's heart "Pengdong" and "Pengdong" kept beating wildly.

Although he didn't even see other people's faces, it was always a comforting thing to meet another person in such a **** of a dead city.

And according to Ji Lu’s experience as a senior online game player, although he can’t see his face, he doesn’t look like an ordinary passerby because of his tall and slender back and long black hair. , At least he has to be a mysterious great sage who holds the task of Novice Village.

Ji Shu thrush made a decisive decision and chased after pulling his leg.

He was determined to catch up with that person, and then...

...And what, he didn't think about it.

Anyway, no matter whether the other party is a powerful character or not, at this moment, it is always a pleasure to have a companion who can breathe and talk.

It's a pity that the long and straight black sage's feet are fast, Ji Tuan is just running down the overpass, and the opponent has gone away.

Fortunately, there is dust everywhere on the ground, as long as it is not a footless ghost, it will leave footprints when it passes by.

As long as Ji Xuan chased along the shoe print, sooner or later, he could find someone.

However, at this moment, he suddenly heard the voice of someone talking.

To be correct, it was a woman's call.

At first, the sound source was quite far away from him, and it sounded vaguely.

However, it was obvious that the other party happened to be walking towards him, and as the distance gradually narrowed, the voice gradually became clearer.

Ji Lu heard that a young woman was walking and shouting: "Is there anyone? Is there anyone here?"

—Wait, there is a third person!

Ji Lu was really surprised and delighted, and he was about to answer aloud when he opened his mouth.

But just a second before the voice was about to be spoken, he suddenly remembered those weird sets of human-shaped clothes, and suddenly felt that the behavior of yelling like this was too reckless, and he quickly grunted his voice back. There was a step next to him, hiding behind a telephone pole, poking out half of his head, and looking warily in the direction of the sound.

The sky was covered with dark clouds, the sky was covered with dust, and the visibility on the street was very low.

Ji Yu waited for about a few minutes with his eyes wide open before he saw two figures, one tall and one short, appearing from a hundred meters away.

Although he couldn't see their appearance, judging from the height and outline of the two men, he speculated that they should be a man and a woman.

They were very close, their bodies were all stuck together, and there was a round spot in front of them, which was not very bright, but it was better than nothing. Ji Lu thinks that it is probably a light source such as a simple flashlight or a mobile phone flashlight.

"anyone there?"

"Hey, anyone?"

The woman yelled twice every time she took a few steps.

Ji Xuan still stood still, and waited a little while cautiously.

When the two were close enough to him, he finally determined that the person who came was a man and a woman, who seemed to be a couple. They were both in their twenties, all with uneasy faces and confused expressions.

The man wore a light blue thin long-sleeved shirt with cuffs up to the elbow, while the girl wore a short-sleeved T-shirt and jeans, both of which were ordinary summer casual dresses.

The man held the girl's shoulder in one hand and a mobile phone in the other hand. He switched to the flashlight mode and swayed from side to side.

When the distance between the three of them was only about ten meters, Ji Yu took a step, flashed out from behind the hidden pillar, and waved to the two of them.

The man and the woman hadn't noticed that someone was hiding behind the telephone pole just now. They were so scared that they both screamed.

"Hey, you want to scare people to death!"

After the scream, the girl patted her chest, panted wheezing, and pointed at Ji Lu again, "You, are you a ghost or a ghost! Say, talk!"

"Ahem."

Ji Lu cleared his throat, "Don't be afraid, I am also a big living person..."

The words only spoke for a while, and suddenly stopped abruptly.

Without warning, there seemed to be a golden light flashing in the peripheral light of Ji Tuan's right eye, wiping his face quickly, and rushing towards the man and woman in front of him.

The speed of that flash of light is so fast that it can almost be described as "fast as lightning."

Ji Lu was too late to react, and saw that golden light hit the hand of the strange man holding the mobile phone.

The next second, the man let out a heart-piercing scream.

Amidst the sorrowful and wailing howls, the opponent's right hand rose up with a blue flame, and the fire light climbed up his wrist to his arm, and then along the elbow into his sleeve. In the end, his whole person was like a stick. Like a lit candle, his whole body was surrounded by flames and burned into a blue-white flame man.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

The girl was obviously stunned by the sight in front of her.

She sat down on the ground, her eyes wide open, her gaze was dumbfounded, except for the hysterical screaming, she could not make a sound at all.

The man who was on fire, his whole body was like oily wax on heat, making a chuckle and chuckle sound, quickly melted and deformed, and quickly turned into a handful of powder in the scorching smell of protein burning. Sliding out of the gaps in the clothes, scattered on the ground, mixed with the surrounding ash, regardless of each other.

But the most terrifying thing is that his whole body was on fire just now, and not only the flesh, but even the bones were burned to ashes in just a few seconds, but the man’s shirt and suit pants were not affected by the fire at all. It fell on the ground intact, and the clothes even maintained his final posture with two hands stretched out before burning, one foot bent and the other straight.

The mobile phone that had lost its holder fell straight to the ground, and slid forward for a short period of time with inertia, and rolled to the girl's feet. The light of the illumination fell on her left shoulder.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!"

Watching the male partner suddenly burned up and turned into flying ashes, this kind of stimulation had clearly exceeded the limit of the girl's psychological endurance.

She was completely shocked.

Except for the screams and screams, she couldn't make any other reactions.

Compared with the girl who was overly frightened, although Ji Lu would not lose his mind, he was really frightened.

For a moment, he almost wanted to run away regardless.

Just kidding, normal people encounter such a scene that is so beyond common sense that it seems like a nightmare, no matter how thick the nerves and the heart are, it should be a normal reaction to tremble and run away.

Suddenly, Ji Yu saw that the neckline of the light blue shirt left by the man suddenly moved.

Immediately afterwards, a golden light flew out from the collar and jumped into the air.

"Hey!"

Ji Yu was trembling slightly when he heard his own voice, "Quick, get away!"

It's a pity that the girl who was too frightened didn't even give him a look.

Jin Guang, who flew into the air, paused and circled above the two of them.

This time, Ji Tuan could see more clearly.

It seemed to be a weird big dark golden bug, about the size of a ping-pong ball, with a pair of thin wings on its back, and a long tail behind it. Snitch.

"Quickly, don't sit on the ground!"

Ji Xuan made three steps and two steps, rushed forward, grabbed the girl's arm with one hand, and tried to drag her up, "Get up!"

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

The girl was suddenly grabbed by the arm, and her soul was shocked. Apart from screaming, she had no strength to resist.

Her whole body seemed to be cramped, limp and weak. She stuck her whole body on the floor, screaming while shaking her head, sobbing sobbing. No matter what Ji Xuan did, she couldn't take her away. Pulled up on the ground.

At this moment, the golden flying insects that had been circling above their heads suddenly moved.

It seemed to be attracted by something, and swooped straight at the girl who was still lying on the ground.

"Danger!"

Ji Tuan screamed in exclamation.

It seemed that these two words finally had an effect, and the girl shuddered and squeezed from her throat: "What, what!?"

However, it was too late. The moment she made a sound, Jin Guang had already flown and hit her shoulder.

The girl's dynamic vision is far less than that of the season thrush, so she can't see exactly what this golden light's true body is.

She was terribly scared, and at this time she was even more so in a daze, she instinctively stretched out her hand, wanting to pat what fell on her shoulder.

However, the skin on the back of her hand was able to touch the body of the worm, and a cluster of flames burst out, suddenly covering her hand completely.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhh!"

The girl screamed miserably.

Her eyes were wide open, and in the pain of being incinerated, she desperately watched the flame spread upward along her wrist, wherever she went, everything turned into ashes and fell sternly.

"Help! Help me! Help me! Help..."

Just a few seconds after the girl was crying for help, the flame had penetrated her clothes, climbed up her neck, covered her head, and burned her whole body into a bright white candle. .

Ji Lu just felt that his heart was going to stop beating with horror.

The weight in his hand suddenly lightened. When he looked down, he realized that the flame had burned the girl's torso. The embers shattered from the shoulders, wrapped in clothing, and fell to the ground with a "pouch".

But Ji Lu was holding a section of the girl's arm now, there was still flames at the fracture, and he continued to burn up along the white broken arm.

He quickly released his hand and threw the stumped arm out.

Two big people in succession were burnt to ashes in front of his eyes. This double shock of vision and spirit was replaced by a weaker psychological endurance. I was afraid that it would be like the girl just now, and kneeled directly.

Ji Wei took three steps back, and the first thought that came to mind was to turn his head and run. It's best to run that far.

However, the moment he turned around, he was nailed again.

He thought of the flying speed of the "Golden Snitch".

If it really caused the two people to catch fire, then the problem would be big.

Even if he turned his head and started a 100-meter sprint, with the speed of the bug, it would take minutes to catch up with him.

And if he had his back to the worm, it would be completely artificial, and if he was caught up by the worm, he would not even have the opportunity to resist, and he would immediately become a burning candle.

—No, I can’t run!

The moment he made up his mind, the hem of the girl's T-shirt trembles slightly again.

The golden flying insect got out of the clothes, the two pairs of thin wings flapped twice, and it was about to fly again.

—Fuck, can you still run away!

Ji Lu also didn't know where his courage came from.

He was guilty of guts, picked up the broomstick that fell on the ground, and slapped it down at the strange bug!
