Chapter 6: curse
The mist is pervasive, the wind is biting, and the moonlight is hazy.
In a dark, narrow alley, the originally calm mist suddenly surged.
After a few breaths, the fog in the middle section of the alley suddenly spread out, and a hole of energy surging in gray and blue appeared out of thin air.
‘Hoo’, a figure was ejected from the hollow, and then the gray-blue fog hole suddenly shrank. After condensing to the extreme, it quickly rushed to the fallen figure, submerged in the figure, and disappeared...
"It's cold...no jitter..."
murmured like a babble.
I don't know when, the figure has opened his eyes, but hasn't gotten up, but looks directly at the sky with some hollow eyes.
There was a moment of silence, and the figure finally slowly stood up from the icy ground, slightly weakly supporting the wall with one hand, and turned his head to look around.
The boy is depressed...
This unexpected crossing completely destroyed his planned life. All the life plans were completely ruined.
lowered his head and looked, his palms and body a few sizes smaller were wrapped in clothes that were a few sizes larger.
Fist, nails ran across the palm, the slight pain proved that it was not a dream.
His expression became more and more mournful. For a long time, the boy, no, the child named Kun raised his head, his face full of tears without tears, and extremely depressed.
"Hang son...Where am I..."
The child turned his head and looked around the dark and messy alley, but did not get any answer, but judging from the style of the surrounding buildings, it is at least a normal civilized world.
After a little thought, the child turned to look at the right hand holding the wall, then retracted his palm a little from the wall, clenched his fist, and slammed it against the wall.
嘭
After the muffled sound, the child retracted his fist and looked at the broken marks and cracks on the wall. He breathed a sigh of relief and whispered in a low voice: "Fortunately, the body has become 10 years old, but the physical fitness has not been traced back, at least to give it back. I have left my strength to protect myself."
was about to continue muttering something, but the child suddenly turned his head, looked at the exit of the alley more than ten meters away, and looked at the tall figure that did not know when it appeared in the thick fog.
patter, patter...
The leather shoes knocked on the ground, and as the figure approached, the effect of the dense fog concealing weakened, making the other party's figure clearer.
black trousers and leather shoes, gray turtleneck sweater, black long trench coat, black high-top gentleman hat, and black leather gloves.
The night is dark and the wind is high, and the dense fog does not disperse.
Combined with all the surrounding environment, the children couldn't help but mutter in their hearts: "How do you look at this scene, how is it a crime scene in a film and television drama... And the curse of the Rubik's Cube traverser..."
"Child, why are you here alone?"
Without waiting for the child to connect the whole drama in his heart, the man suddenly spoke when he was close to five meters, his tone was very surprised.
"English?" There was a flash in the child's heart. Then he entered the scene for an instant, the expression on his face quickly added a dazed, scared, and helpless BUFF.
"First, sir, I, I can't find my mother."
"Oh, my poor child." Without changing the speed of the man's feet, he came to the child a few steps.
Slightly lowered his head, the brim of the gentleman's hat and most of the man's face were hidden in the shadows. After a short pause, the man spoke again: "My child, do you remember anything? Where did you and your family get separated? "
Hearing this, the child immediately acted like a'raise his hand to wipe tears', saying: "I, I don't remember, oooooo, I want to find my mother."
The man in the windbreaker raised his hand and stroked the child’s hair when he saw it, and comforted his mouth: "Okay, don’t cry, my uncle will help..."
At this moment, the child Kun was wiping his tears with his hands and clenched his fists. The muscles of his body were tense, and the force came up from the feet, gathered his fists, and slammed into the man's lower abdomen.
However, in the next moment, I felt my consciousness suddenly trance, and then I didn't know anything.
嘭!
With a muffled sound, two small fists hit the man's abdomen under inertia, causing the man's body to bow out suddenly, and fell to the ground with a thump.
"OHFUK!" An angry curse came out of the man who fell on the ground.
The man put his hands on his stomach, curled up and trembled. It took a while before he eased slightly.
The weak curses and curses continued to vent. Accompanied by the coughing from time to time, the man took a lot of effort to stand up.
held the wall with one hand and barely stood firm, and the palm of the other hand rubbed the corner of his mouth and lower lip. After removing the palm, he looked at the blood stains on the black gloves, and another weak curse spurted out.
After a long while, the man seemed to finally catch his breath, then he pulled into his arms and took out a wooden stick.
pointed the stick at the belly that was hit by the child Kun's hammer, and the man murmured silently with his lips moving. After a few moments, the man leaned on the wall with one hand and carried a wooden stick in the other, and walked struggling to the front of the child Kun.
Gloomy eyes carefully looked at the child who was lying on the ground, and then scanned the broken marks on the wall next to him, and then looked down at his stomach.
The stern eyes receded, and they were gradually covered by surprise and fiery color.
holding a wooden stick and swaying it not far away, the gentleman's hat that had fallen to the ground before flew automatically, was caught by the man, and buckled it on the top of his head, and the shadow once again covered half of the man's face.
The corners of the mouth that were not covered by the shadows slanted upwards on both sides, and the blood stained between the gums made the man’s smile very hideous...
"Have you escaped the Rubik's Cube curse..."
I don't know how long I have been in a coma. The kid Kun who just woke up sighed inwardly, then slightly squinted his eyelids, and quickly turned his eyes to scan the surrounding circle.
didn't see the guy who used inexplicable means to faint him, which made the child breathe a sigh of relief. Then carefully check the surrounding environment.
This is a very dark room, about 60 square meters. Only a few candles light up the room.
There are several long wooden tables spliced on the walls on both sides of the , which are filled with various bottles and jars, and some of them are soaked in strange shapes. The teenager observed carefully and found that it was all flesh and blood and internal organs, but could not understand what kind of creature it came from.
"This rhythm... Am I going to be cold?" The corner of the child's mouth twitched, and he muttered, then continued to observe.
turned his gaze to himself, and found himself lying on a stone table in the center of the room.
Several stone buckles stretched out on the table top, which fixed all the joints of his limbs, waist, and neck on the table top.
It is strange that there is no connection gap between the buckles and the desktop, as if these buckles are naturally growing from the desktop, making him wonder how he was fixed in.
slightly suppressed the doubts in his heart, and was about to continue to observe the environment to find a way to get out, but heard the door of the room suddenly opened.
With the creak of the old wooden door, the man who fainted him inexplicably walked into the room...
