The evening wind is bleak and the starry sky is fading.

Li Mo stared at the time on his phone. It was exactly eight o'clock and the passage would only be open for half a minute. He had to enter immediately.

The ticket seller next to him seemed not to see Li Mo. He stood up and kept talking to the air with a polite smile.

Li Mo remembered this scene but did not delve into it too much.

"Time is up."

The time on the mobile phone reached eight o'clock, and the dilapidated cemetery changed into a different look. Li Mo walked in holding Mei's hand.

The moment he entered, Li Mo's eyes went dark, his body gradually twisted and deformed, and was squeezed by a powerful external force.

When I came to my senses, I found that this was not a cemetery at all, but a desolate wilderness.

The place where he is currently is sparsely populated, remote and quiet. It should be in the deep mountains and forests where not many people have been.

Only when Li Mo looked far away could he vaguely see a little smoke rising into the sky on the other side of the distant mountain, which was a sign of cooking in the backward area.

In a very distant open field, several children were chasing and playing, talking and laughing, with excited smiles on their faces.

Surrounded by dense and lush woods, the morning sun shines through the gaps between the leaves, casting one bizarre pattern after another on the ground.

The light from the sky was a bit dazzling, and Li Mo's eyes had not yet recovered from the darkness, so he could only squint and scan the surroundings.

"Is this the old world?" Li Mo couldn't help but ask in confusion.

The human touch of the old world seemed much stronger than he had imagined, as if this was a human kingdom.

Li Mo could not feel the cold and gloomy aura, everything seemed so real and appropriate.

"Brother, you seem to have grown up." Mei from behind reminded him.

"grow up?"

Li Mo then realized that his height was completely different from before. He looked at his right hand and saw that it was the size of an adult.

Looking back, I found that Mei had grown up and become a graceful, charming and lovely young girl.

The clothes of the two people were also adjusted, and their bodies did not grow larger and break the clothes.

Li Mo picked up the equipment that fell on the ground one by one.

Strange changes with unknown reasons, temporarily put on hold.

"Let's go a little east first, out of this wilderness, and into the city to see what's going on."

Li Mo took Yayi for a walk along the forest path. Yayi was surprisingly quiet and obediently held Li Mo's hand. She did not become a curious baby and ask questions.

She didn't even ask why Li Mo could bring her to such a strange world.

She knew that Li Mo didn't like noisy girls. Since he didn't say anything, she couldn't ask. She just had to stay quietly by Li Mo's side.

Not long after walking, Li Mo vaguely felt a strong sense of disharmony.

But I can’t tell what’s wrong. Maybe it’s because this world is too normal and it makes me, who has always been dealing with weirdness, feel uncomfortable?

There's no strange aura nearby, the thermometer shows normal, and the strange left hand is very quiet...

"I'm too tight..."

Before Li Mo could utter the next word, two adult men with malicious intentions abruptly walked out from the deserted path.

Holding a steel rod in his hand, he looked at Li Mo and Meiyi beside him with an evil smile on his face.

"Dude, bring your girlfriend here..."

This time, it was the other party's turn not to finish speaking.

Li Mo let go of Mei's hand, and the heavy weight in his heart sank.

I thought something was wrong, but it turned out to be just two minions.

Li Mo pulled out a gun and pointed it at one of them. The other person was instantly frightened and his legs went limp, and he took several steps back.

"No, no, buddy, why do you still have a gun? We're just passing by, don't point that thing at us, it's scary, we're leaving now, we're leaving now..."

The two adult men quickly fled into the bushes and disappeared.

Li Mo retracted his pistol and didn't pay attention to the two bandits who blocked his way. They were not worth Li Mo's time and energy.

But he still felt a little bothered by that awkward feeling, which he couldn't quite explain.

coincidence?

"elder brother?"

Mei couldn't help but shout when she saw Li Mo in a daze.

"Let's keep going." Li Mo came back to his senses and shook his head, trying to keep his mind clear, and continued to walk eastward with Meiyi.

"boom!"

A fire snake burst out from the dense bushes, and the bullet flew out of the gun barrel with a "whoosh", brushing against the fallen leaves and piercing Li Mo's shoulder without warning.

Chapter 8 A Hostile World

"Tsk!"

Li Mo quickly turned around, protected Mei behind him, took out the pistol that Raiden Ryuma had prepared for him and aimed it at the bushes where the gunshot came from.

But there was no one there, only a leaf on the ground that was pierced by a bullet.

"Brother, your shoulder is bleeding..."

"I know, don't talk."

In an instant, Li Mo's right shoulder was bathed in scarlet blood, which spread along his arm to his wrist, and then fell from his fingertips to the ground.

Li Mo didn't have time to take care of his injured shoulder as he analyzed the situation at hand.

The opponent's gun was rubbish, otherwise, even if the shot just now had hit his shoulder, he would have collapsed to the ground.

The impact force was too small, and coupled with the poor quality of the gunshot, it was obviously a crudely made gun.

The fact that they did not pursue the victory after firing the first shot shows that they do not have many bullets, and continuous shooting requires a cool-down period before they can find the right opportunity to kill with one shot.

Are they the two guys dressed like bandits?

"So this is where the sense of disharmony comes from..."

Just now he was speaking to the other party in Far Eastern dialect. Far Eastern is somewhat similar to Shenzhou, at least in terms of strict control of guns, and ordinary people have no channels to own guns.

The other party was dressed simply and sloppily, not like a member of some special organization, but he happened to own a gun.

Coincidence?

But why did they kill him? Was it just because they wanted Mei, who was by their side, that they killed people? Or was it because they were attracted by the genuine and good gun in his hand?

Li Mo's left hand holding the gun trembled slightly. Although he had recovered to an adult body, he had never died and his physical condition was still normal.

The right shoulder was bleeding profusely, the heart was not getting enough blood, the brain was unable to cope, and the thinking became slow and dull.

"Bang! Bang!"

He didn't have time to wait any longer. The other party was hiding in the bushes and could not be found at all.

"Did you really think I couldn't find you?"

Li Mo fired two random shots at the bushes. Perhaps because they were afraid of being shot, the two men quickly moved.

But it was this action that exposed their true location. Li Mo rushed into the slightly shaking bushes and indeed found the two men from before.

"Looking for death!" The other party raised the heavy old-fashioned gun and prepared to give Li Mo a fatal blow, but because the gun was too insensitive, the first shot missed.

"..."

Three consecutive gunshots were heard from the bushes. The first one was an old-fashioned gunshot, and the next two were made by Li Mo.

Mei ran over in a panic, only to see Li Mo, with a gloomy face, stepping on two lifeless corpses on the ground.

"Brother! How are you? Are you okay?"

Li Mo put the pistol back on his waist, glad that he had been prepared before coming.

"They can't die. Help me dig a hole and bury them. This world should be modern. If we don't handle the bodies properly, we'll be in big trouble... Fortunately, this place is very remote. Almost no one passes by, and even if they do, they won't go into the bushes."

"I still can't believe there's someone out there in the middle of nowhere who'd just run into the bushes and dig up the dirt."

"By the way, remember to bury all the bloodstained soil with the body, including these bushes. Too much blood on them will easily lead to people noticing something unusual."

Li Mo was very meticulous. A small amount of blood could be explained as an accidental scrape, but so much blood was obviously a large wound that was not treated in time.

He doesn't need to hide the truth for the rest of his life, he just needs to avoid any trouble before leaving.

Mei nodded, swallowed, mustered up her courage, and diligently dug the soil and buried the body.

He would turn his head from time to time to secretly check on Li Mo's condition.

Li Mo bit his lip, endured the severe pain, put two fingers into the wound, and kept groping.

The blood and sweat on his forehead mixed together and slid down to the tip of his tall nose, and then he fell to the ground with a violent tremor of his body.

“Hmm…!!”

After a lot of effort, Li Mo finally took out the bullet from his shoulder and threw it to Meiyi, asking her to help bury it.

After a simple treatment, Li Mo walked over to Meiyi and said weakly, "Give me your coat."

"Here." Meiyi took off her coat and handed it to Li Mo without hesitation.

Li Mo put on Yayi's coat to temporarily cover up the bloodstains, to prevent himself from accidentally bumping into someone and being noticed.

"Go find a river and wash your face and hands."

"I'll go look for it. Brother, you just sit here and rest. I'll try to get the water back when I find it. If there's no other way, I'll come back and show you the way."

"No, I'll go with you."

"Mei won't abandon her brother!"

Mei shouted loudly, as if to show her determination.

"I said, I'll go with you." Li Mo repeated.

Mei's eyes were full of reluctance and grievance. She really had no intention of abandoning Li Mo. Why did Li Mo refuse to believe her?

Li Mo has always been like this. He will not slack off in his choices just because he wants to be lazy.

Meiyi can't leave him now, at least not until Li Mo makes sure that she is truly safe.

This was perhaps the only time that the goddess of luck favored them. The two of them found a clear stream not far away.

Not caring about infection or anything like that now, Li Mo washed off all the blood stains on his body, including the blood stains on his clothes.

After finishing the work, Li Mo took off his shirt, wrung out the wet clothes and handed them to the human-shaped clothes drying rack, Raiden Mei.

"What are you looking at?"

Li Mo, who was very sensitive to sight, turned around and found that Mei was staring at him.

"No, nothing! Mei didn't mean to peek!" Mei shyly covered her eyes with one hand, and the two fingers where her eyes were were quietly spread apart, revealing a tiny gap.

"Are you hot?" Li Mo asked Mei, whose cheeks were flushed.

"Yes, yes, it's a little hot..."

A complete human reaction...

Li Mo observed Mei's every move. He knew that Mei was shy because she saw her muscular body.

It’s just that Li Mo was eager to find clues and flaws in disguise from this human behavior, but unfortunately Li Mo didn’t see it.

All of Mei's reactions prove that she is a real human being.

Unless I repeat what happened last night, I will never know what the connection between Mei and the weird is.

Li Mo thought to himself.

Just like before, Meiyi quietly followed Li Mo and walked slowly.

But Mei suddenly felt something was wrong and asked curiously: "Brother, this is not the road we took before, aren't we going east?"

At this time, the two men had arrived not far from the burial site, but the burial site was below, and they were hiding behind the dense trees above.
