Weird collapse, chasing husband crematorium

At 8:53 in the evening, Li Mo still hadn't noticed.

Li Mo realized something was wrong. "Did the sudden appearance of black fog make Otto give up the idea of going out to collect wild fruits?"

"No matter what, they must leave the tree before nine o'clock. That's where the pseudo-humans are hunting."

Li Mo shuttled between trees and soon found the original tree.

But under the tree, only Kallen was leaning against it alone, constantly reaching out her hands to feel ahead, feeling the warmth.

In front of me was a burning bonfire.

Li Mo's vision was very clear, especially the bonfire that was burning so fiercely.

"I was mistaken. I originally thought this bonfire was a safe zone for living people, similar to the side rooms in the auditorium. In fact, it was just that the hunting time for the pseudo-humans had not yet arrived."

"When the time came, Kallen and I fell asleep. It's very likely that Kallen was killed and reborn by the pseudo-human during this time."

"This bonfire is just an ordinary bonfire."

Li Mo murmured while standing on the tree.

The next second he jumped from the tree, his tendons broken and his legs shattered.

But it doesn’t matter. Li Mo stayed for half a minute, and when his body had almost recovered, he took the initiative to walk forward.

Just as Karen's hand was about to reach into the campfire, Li Mo grabbed her wrist.

"Otto? It's you, you're back!"

"It's so dark here. I'm a little scared being alone. I can't see anything..."

Kallen's answer was tinged with fear and excitement.

Li Mo could only guess that the return of her companions made her feel relieved.

No request was made...

I didn't even open the book...

Li Mo glanced at the book in Karen's hand. It was the same as the last time he saw it.

Otto didn't come back, but the time was already 8:55. In five minutes, the pseudo-humans would start hunting humans.

According to Kallen, the black fog would obscure the vision of the living, but it couldn't obscure his sight.

Otto had obviously lost himself in the primeval forest. Even if he had not been killed by poisonous snakes and wild beasts, he would have been found by the fake man soon.

There is not much time left for me to escape now, I must make a choice immediately.

Li Mo hesitated for a moment, cleared his throat, and imitated Otto's voice in his memory.

"Karen, I'll take you out of here."

After saying that, Li Mo carried Kallen on his back, picked up Otto's backpack, and quickly fled from the campfire.

On the way, Kallen asked, "Leaving here? Where to?"

"Go to a safe place." Li Mo replied.

This is a lie, there is no safe place in the primeval forest.

So-called safety is based on areas that can be avoided after a thorough understanding of the rules.

"Otto, can you see the road? Why do I feel like you're running so fast? And... when did you grow so tall? You're still very thin, though."

Kallen asked while touching.

Li Mo just casually said: "Kallen, you are sleepy and you are hallucinating. Go to sleep first. The black fog will dissipate when you wake up."

"Well, let's set off again after the fog clears!"

After saying this, Karen lowered her head and leaned against Li Mo's back.

In fact, Li Mo could have ignored it, but fate had already asked him to return the chips he had given him before.

No underground cave... No mountain cave...

Not even under a tree.

After much deliberation, Li Mo could only take Karen to the tree.

In addition, Li Mo took off his clothes and wrapped them around Kallen, carefully adjusting Kallen's sleeping position so that she could sleep peacefully leaning against the tree trunk.

A child's body cannot withstand the sudden drop in temperature in the primeval forest at night.

Until midnight——

"Otto, I'm hungry..."

Kallen gently tugged at Li Mo's sleeve and called out softly.

"I'll get you something to eat."

Li Mo opened his backpack and took a look. There was indeed not much food inside.

With Karen's appetite, Otto wouldn't be able to last long even if he only ate one piece of bread.

Otto was originally a Kallen fan, and he must have given all the food to Kallen. No wonder he had to go out to collect food. It seemed that he was very hungry.

Looking at the endless black fog, Li Mo fell into deep thought.

"never mind."

"I will take good care of her, you can go without worry."

Chapter 8: A Grave in the Deep Forest (I)

Li Mo leaned against the tree trunk.

Kallen grabbed the food in her backpack with both hands and put it into her mouth bit by bit.

Thick black fog enveloped the entire primeval forest. From the currently known information, the black fog obscured the vision of living people.

I just don't know if it works the same on ghosts.

At present, it is unclear whether the pseudo-person is a human or a ghost, so it is best not to expose yourself to the pseudo-person's sight.

Otherwise, after the fake person dies, he will be reborn into the body of the person who agreed to the request or saw the person.

It's really an unsolvable choice.

Ghosts cannot be killed.

Li Mo pondered, in a sense, the fake person is immortal, and in a sense, he can be killed.

If all those who have witnessed the fake person are killed... wouldn't that be equivalent to ending this original law in disguise?

Not sure...but it shouldn't be that simple.

So far, the pseudo-people we have encountered have been extremely strange. For those pseudo-people who even deceive themselves, the thermometer cannot detect any abnormalities.

"Otto, I'm done eating, but I'm still hungry."

"Just make do with it. The weather tonight is not very good, and it's dangerous to go looking for food."

"Um……"

"Do you have anything to say?"

After spending a short time together, Li Mo keenly noticed that something was wrong with Karen.

She doesn't seem like the type of person who keeps her thoughts to herself. Usually, her face will show the corresponding expression depending on what she is thinking.

Li Mo asked directly, wanting to know about Kallen's condition.

"Am I blind? Even in the darkest night, I could still see the blurry forest and stream, but now I can't see anything. It's not dark... it's the lack of color..."

Kallen hugged her knees and said with a lost look.

No color?

Li Mo glanced at the black fog around him. His vision was very clear and he could clearly see a large amount of thick black fog emerging in the forest.

But why did Kallen say there was no color?

"No, it's just that the weather is not very good today. It will be better tomorrow morning." Li Mo comforted.

Kallen nodded, and when she was about to say something, the tree trunk beneath her suddenly shook a few times.

"What happened..."

Before Karen could finish her words, Li Mo rushed forward, covered her mouth, and whispered a reminder in her ear.

"Don't speak, don't open your eyes..."

Kallen didn't understand, but nodded anyway.

Li Mo let go of his hand, took out a strange pistol from his waist that was specially used to fight ghosts, pulled the safety bolt, and looked fierce.

Judging from the amplitude of the branches' vibrations, it was similar to the savage climbing of a medium-sized mammal.

"Creak - creak -"

The bones rubbed against the bark, making a sharp sound.

Li Mo didn't dare to look down. After hesitating for a long time, he still didn't close his eyes. He moved his head out little by little, trying to see the situation below clearly.

Although seeing or being seen will mark you as a fake person, you will be found no matter where you escape.

But closing your eyes is more dangerous, as the pseudo-person may decide that his or her identity has been exposed due to this behavior and may be reborn directly.

"Does the black fog have any effect on the fake people? If this fog doesn't block vision in the conventional sense, but blocks observation..."

Li Mo suddenly had an idea. Karen said that what was in front of him was not darkness but nothingness, without any color.

"Then it can't see me."

Li Mo took a deep breath and leaned his head outside to look down.

A young woman dressed in rather tattered clothes was climbing a tree in a very abnormal posture.

Not like a human being.

In a sense, human behavior is more similar to that of monkeys.

But the posture of the woman climbing the tree made Li Mo feel like an ant climbing a tree.

His head wasn't looking upwards, but rather towards the bark, his face almost touching it.

Its limbs were embedded in the bark in an orderly manner, and it climbed up bit by bit.

Li Mo retracted his head; the tree was no longer safe.

Pseudo-humans would only go to places that they knew were human habitations, such as caves and burrows of primitive people, and towns and villages after the advancement of civilization...

“I didn’t expect it to be found on the tree.”

Li Mo's mouth twitched. He could already imagine that millions of years ago, after the rumor of fake people in the tribe, people fled like birds, choosing a habitat that they thought was safe.

Then there are some idiots who originally lived well in the trees, but because they were single for many years, they felt empty inside.

One day, he was shrouded in loneliness and stood on a tree when he saw a pretty woman on the ground. For both physiological and psychological reasons, he couldn't help but shout out to say hello.

The woman on the ground was stunned at first, then she curled her lips and gave the man in the tree a rather sweet yet unfamiliar smile.

She had no experience climbing trees, but she smiled and waved, signaling the man to come down.

The man climbed down the tree foolishly, and the final outcome was self-evident.

understand.

Li Mo, who was in a state of death, expressed his understanding.

"..."

When Li Mo came to his senses, the strange woman had already climbed to the height of him and Baikalian, and did not climb any further. She turned and faced the two of them.

Kallen felt like speaking out loud.

Eyes are out of focus.

There were no facial tics.

Although the limb movements were not coordinated enough, there was no sign of rushing forward at all.

and so……
