Chapter 40: Collective Possession
Chapter 40: Collective Possession
The driver's face changed with fear.
Is there a ghost in front of the car?
Is it the windshield in front of his car?
The driver looked for a long time, but unfortunately he could not see anything.
He thought the weather had suddenly become hot, but now he felt cold all over.
From head to toe, he was sweating all over.
He raised his hand and touched his forehead.
It was also covered with cold sweat.
Bai Lingyan said,
"It's gone."
The driver breathed a sigh of relief.
It's good that it's gone, it's good that it's gone.
He was scared to death!
"Thank you, sir."
If it's gone, it must have been driven away by the gentleman behind him.
But,
how could he provoke this kind of thing again for no reason?
Chen Sheng felt that he had really found the right person.
The first time, the vehicle was controlled remotely.
The second time, the driver could see the past.
The third time, he could see the ghost directly and drive it away.
This is definitely a super task.
Chen Sheng's confidence increased at this time.
"Then I'll continue."
The driver was the first to bear the brunt of the "um".
"You can tell from mine even without me saying anything."
"If you can tell me more, I believe the gentleman will solve the problem faster."
"Then you will be the savior of your entire village."
Chen Sheng: ...
Actually, he didn't want to be a savior.
He just hoped that nothing would happen to the person who had watched him grow up.
"Then I'll continue."
The driver: !!!
"Go on, go on!"
"If I interrupt you again, you'll hit me!"
Chen Sheng: That's not the case.
The driver was quite strong, and he probably couldn't beat him.
Bai Lingyan: With a specific description, he could save some energy.
Chen Sheng said,
"Since I knew that the rice was made of tree leaves, I haven't eaten a bite since I found out."
"We survived for a short time on the remaining food and the green vegetables in the yard."
At noon, he saw his grandparents were about to cook again.
Chen Sheng hurried forward and snatched the tree leaves from their hands.
Looking at their pale faces, he said with a trembling heart.
"Leave the meals for the next few days to me."
After working for two hours,
Chen Sheng finally prepared a meal that people could eat.
However, when he brought it out, he found that the two old people had already eaten the leaves.
And they were enjoying it with relish, looking very happy.
Chen Sheng: !!!
"Grandpa!"
"You can't eat this!"
"Grandma!"
"You can't eat this either!"
Chen Sheng took the bowls from their hands.
He looked down and saw that it was not rice at all, but green leaves.
Although he had seen rice before. And he ate it.
But since four or five in the morning this morning, after seeing the leaves, it has always been leaves.
The two old people stared at Chen Sheng.
It made him feel creepy.
He said nervously,
"You try what I made first."
"Grandpa and grandma, I came back from vacation and cooked specially. Just give me some face?"
"How about you try it..."
Chen Sheng stuffed the bowl into their hands without waiting for them to say anything.
"Eat, eat this."
"Come and eat this."
"This is nutritious."
What's so good about those broken tree leaves? Eating too much can kill you!!!
The two old men seemed a little dazed today. They didn't say anything and continued to eat with their heads down.
Chen Sheng watched them eat their food. He
collected the dishes and left.
He planned to go to other people's houses to see if it was the same.
The first house he went to was his second uncle's house.
Because he ran into his second uncle when he came back that night. He
walked without making any sound and ignored him. There must be something wrong.
As soon as he entered the door,
he saw his second uncle eating tree leaves.
Chen Sheng stepped forward and called out.
"Second uncle?"
"Who am I?"
His second uncle looked at him for a long time.
"Chen... Sheng?"
Chen Sheng: !!!
Great!
His second uncle still knew him!
Chen Sheng directly took the tree leaf from his hand.
"Second uncle, you can't eat that."
"That's a tree leaf!"
The second uncle's face changed.
"Give it to me!"
"Give it to me quickly!"
The voice was sinister.
Feeling that his uncle might beat him up, Chen Sheng turned around and ran.
The next second,
his uncle really caught up with him.
However, he was out of breath after running only two steps, and sat on the ground exhausted.
Chen Sheng threw the leaves in his hand away.
"I told you that this thing can't be eaten."
After that,
he went to a few more houses.
Almost every family was in this situation.
They ate leaves as food.
As soon as Chen Sheng said that thing couldn't be eaten, everyone looked at him as if they wanted to eat him.
"I have another feeling."
"They actually can't recognize me anymore. The reason they can call out my name is probably because of muscle memory."
Driver: !!!
"Your village is quite scary."
"I guess everyone is collectively possessed."
Chen Sheng nodded.
"I think so too."
"Then I took the leaf and went to look for trees one by one."
He wanted to see which tree was so strange.
He compared all the leaves of the trees in the village.
Chen Sheng felt a chill on his back.
How could he forget the big tree at the foot of the mountain?
Those people went to lie under that tree last night.
It happened to be daytime now.
Chen Sheng planned to go over and take a look.
When he got there, he found that he looked a bit like it.
Standing on a high place, he pulled down a leaf directly.
"咈"
Chen Sheng:?
It should be the sound of the wind, right?
Chen Sheng lowered his head, put the two leaves together, and compared them carefully. The leaf in his hand was indeed from this tree.
This tree is very lush, with a diameter covering the ground for more than ten meters.
Standing under the tree, there is a feeling of cold and dampness without sunlight.
Moreover,
there are wet pits all over the ground under the tree, and the length of each pit is about the same as a person's height.
He saw everyone lying directly in it last night.
He thought,
there should be a pit for each person.
Chen Sheng squatted down and dug in the pit twice.
He found a root of a tree hidden in the middle of the pit.
He reached out and tugged.
As a result, the thing drilled directly in as if it were alive.
Chen Sheng was so scared that he sat on the ground.
He ran and crawled.
He ran all the way home and
didn't know how many times he fell.
Anyway, his legs were numb. He was still
shaking when he got home.
After returning home,
he sat from afternoon to night. Before it got dark,
he had already locked the door . As soon as
it got dark, he directly locked all the doors and windows in the house.
After that,
he sat at the door.
The pit looked evil, and the moving roots looked like blood-sucking tubes.
Chen Sheng thought it was foolproof.
As a result,
when the time came.
Chen Sheng opened the door himself, and walked out lightly like the villagers.
Until the fork in the road.
A vague male voice came to his ears.
It completely awakened Chen Sheng's consciousness.
"Mr. Chen!"
"Wake up!"
"Run east, don't look back..."
