Chapter 163 Playing with the ball
"Xiao Jiu, come and have a look!"
Ku Junwei called me not far ahead.
I shook my dizzy head and walked over quickly.
But there was a square pool in the middle of the underground palace. The pool was scarlet and seemed to be filled with blood.
The strange gurgling sound just now was the sound of blood boiling.
A layer of misty smoke floated on the surface of the pool, and the blood kept surging with bubbles, as if it had been boiled.
The air was filled with a strong fishy smell, which made people sickening.
What is certain is that the pool contains real blood. As for whether it is human blood or animal blood, it is unknown!
Strangely, the blood pool seemed to be boiling all the time, but standing next to the pool, I couldn't feel the heat at all.
Moreover, why is the blood pool boiling?
This question also puzzled me.
Ku Junwei stood by the blood pool, his face was gloomy, staring at the blood pool tightly, not knowing what he was thinking.
"This blood pool is a bit weird!" I said with my chin.
Ku Junwei rolled his eyes: "Nonsense! A big pool full of blood is strange to everyone!"
I curled my lips: "Then do you see any clues?"
Ku Junwei said: "I don't know! I feel that this blood pool is very evil, maybe it is a place used to perform some kind of evil magic!"
As we were talking, a thud sound suddenly came from the darkness. The sound was so familiar, like the sound of something hitting the ground!
I was suddenly stunned and then I realized that the ball was the sound of the ball falling to the ground!
I have indeed heard this sound before. In the middle of the night when I was staying in the orphanage, Xiaochun told me that a young lady with a braid was looking for him to play with a ball. Did that "sister" appear?
I looked around vigilantly and heard a thud of thudding sound, a ball rolling out of the darkness and rolling to my feet.
When I looked closely, I couldn't help but take a breath. The ball was dirty, it was a very old flower ball with mottled blood on it.
In the darkness, a young little girl's voice came: "Big brother, let's play with the ball!"
Although the little girl's voice was tender and seemed very polite, her tone was cold, making people feel a chill, and she seemed to have an irresistible command in her tone.
"Who are you?" I looked around but couldn't see the little girl.
However, I'm almost certain that this little girl is definitely not a human!
"My name is Duowa!" said the little girl.
When I heard this name, it was full of ethnic minorities. I recalled the mural of the Toast King I saw before. What is the relationship between this Duowa and Toast King?
"Dowa, where are you?" I asked.
Duowa did not answer my question, but the cold tone just now: "Big brother, let's play with the ball!"
I glanced at Ku Junwei, and Ku Junwei winked at me.
I licked my dry lips: "Dowa, how to play?"
Duowa said: "It's very simple! If I throw the ball, you will be punished if you can't catch the ball!"
I felt funny in my heart. It was indeed a child's character. Playing such a simple game and there were punishments.
"What punishment?" I asked curiously.
"If you can't catch the ball, you will die!"
Duowa's answer was like a basin of ice water, pouring it from head to soles of my feet, making me feel cool.
What?!
If you can't catch the ball, you will die?!
Is this punishment too scary?!
My heart trembled violently. This baby is so cruel. Is this still a child?
"Big brother, are we going to start now?" Duowa's voice came from the darkness, but she could not be found.
I calmed down a little: "Wait!"
Duowa asked, "What's wrong? Big brother, are you scared?"
My face turned red, and damn it, I was actually touched by a little girl.
I quickly said, "Scared? No, no! I'm not afraid! I just think, let's just make a game, is the punishment too severe? If you don't catch the ball, you will die. Who dares to play with you in the future?"
Duowa said gloomyly: "Did you see the bones on the ground? They are all fools, and several of them didn't catch my ball. I was very angry and unhappy!"
My cheeks twitched slightly: "Those people... were they killed by you?"
Duowa said, "Not all! There are only a few idiots who were killed by me. They can't even catch the ball. Shouldn't they be damned? Do you think, shouldn't they be damned?"
I gritted my teeth and felt an inexplicable anger in my heart: "If you can't get your ball, you will die. Will your heart be a little too vicious?"
Ku Junwei glanced at me and lowered his voice, "If you ask you to play, just play. Where can you get so much nonsense? Can you explain it clearly when you explain it to her?"
Damn it!
I couldn't help but swear and said in a sarcastic voice: "Brother Wei, you really have no pain in your back when you stand and speak. Why don't you play with her? "
Ku Junwei smiled, looking crazy: "But they didn't ask me to play with you! They were looking for you!"
"You..." I glared at Ku Junwei fiercely, so angry that I couldn't speak. I just greeted his ancestors in my heart. Later, I thought about it, Ku Junwei was an orphan and didn't know who his ancestors were. My greeting was wasted.
"Hey!" In the darkness, Duowa sighed softly: "I want to find someone to play with me. Is it that difficult? The last time someone came here, it was eighty or ninety years ago. No one has played with me for so long. It's so boring! But some time ago, I met a new friend named Xiaochun. He is the best I've ever seen to catch the ball, hehe! Big brother, let's start and see if you are as good as Xiaochun!"
I secretly squeezed my cold sweat. Duowa is indeed the "sister" that Xiaochun said. Xiaochun is also lucky. She caught all the balls thrown by Duowa that night. What if Xiaochun didn't catch the ball that night? Will Duowa have been killed by Duowa now?
no!
I made up my mind in my heart that I must destroy Duowa, the little girl, today and not keep her and continue to harm others.
Ku Junwei whispered to me: "Hurry up and play with her. As you play with her, I can find out where she hides through the trajectory of the ball!"
"All right!"
I nodded and finally understood why Ku Junwei wanted me to play with the ball, because he wanted to use me as bait to find out where Duowa's ghost was.
At this moment, we are in the light and Duowa is in the dark. The situation is very unfavorable to us, and we must find her out.
"Come on, let's start! Bah!"
I spitted into my palms, rubbed my hands, set off the formation, and kicked the flower ball under my feet back. The ball flew out into a perfect arc in the air, spinning and sinking into the darkness.
Immediately afterwards, Duowa's voice sounded: "Big brother, are you ready? The game has begun!"
I have lived for almost twenty years and played many games, but this time I played the game of death. Although I was just a simple ball, I was so nervous that I was sweating all over. Before the game started, my vest was soaked in sweat.
I took three repeated deep breaths, spread my arms, and waited for it: "Come on!"
Before he finished speaking, he heard the sound of a strong wind. The flower ball was like a cannonball, shooting out of the darkness and flying towards me.
The flower ball comes very quickly, and it is hard to imagine that a little girl will have such great strength.
I am even more sure that Duowa is a ghost. Only ghosts can have power beyond normal humans.
The flower ball flew over quickly. Although it was very fast, the direction was still relatively positive.
I saw it accurately, stretched my hands forward, and I was impartial, just grabbing the flower ball and making a bang.
The flower ball has a very strong force, which makes my mouth slightly numb.
I sighed and looked back at Ku Junwei, asking him with my eyes if he found Duowa's hiding place?
Ku Junwei didn't say anything, but just shook his head and signaled me to continue playing with Duowa's ball.
"It's great, big brother, hurry up, throw it back!" Duowa's voice was a little excited, as if a child had found a partner to play with him.
I bit the bullet and threw the flower ball back into the darkness.
Duowa said, "I just tried that one, but now I want to have a good time with you!"
I'll go, your uncle!
I just tried such a strong force, is this going to kill my rhythm?
I was cursing myself in my heart, and then I heard a whoosh sound of breaking through the air. The flower ball spun out of the darkness and drew a half arc in the air.
Fortunately, when I was studying, I often played basketball and participated in sports activities in school. I had high reaction ability and judging the ball.
I saw the direction of the ball flying out, moved half a step to the left, bent my hands slightly, and put the ball in my arms accurately.
Because I knew that the ball had a lot of strength this time, I didn't dare to just reach out to catch it, as it would be easy to take off my hands, so I chose to use the "pocket" method to hold the ball firmly in my arms.
But the ball was extremely powerful, at least twice as big as before. I felt like a hammer in my chest. With a muffled sound, I took two steps back. There were stars dancing in front of me, and my chest was actually filled with silences by the ball.
"Good ball! Big brother is awesome!"
In the darkness, Duowa's cheers came.
"Jiuyizi, it's quite amazing!" Ku Junwei smiled at me.
I saw his smile and wanted to slap him in the face.
I rubbed my chest hard, let out a breath of turbid air, and asked in a bad mood: "Have you found her trace?"
Ku Junwei shook his head: "It's still a little bit!"
