The Grim Reaper Can't Be Tricked

Everyone looked at the tape recorder in unison, the cassette was intermittent, like a dying old man with a broken bellows-like chest struggling to narrate: "Zi... so it is not a demon, it is just a vicious dog guarding the door."

Cen Jin blurted out: "So familiar."

Ding Yiqing raised his eyes to look at him, with a smile in his eyes: "There is one more sentence behind."

Cen Jin: "What is it?"

"A pair of adulterers and adulterers are surnamed Cen and Ding."

It must not be him.Huang Maoru thought to himself, after all, his surname is Huang.

Huang Mao commented: "The owner is a bit gossip."

Saul and the black sheep were speechless, as soon as they heard the words, they were fooling the yellow hair, and he really believed them.

"There are only so many recordings?" Black Sheep asked.

Huang Mao took out a box of cassettes from under the desk and said, "There are so many more, listen slowly."

After speaking, he took out a cassette and saw a string of numbers on the surface, took out two cassettes and found a string of numbers on the surface.

Ding Yiqing glanced at it and said, "It's the date."

Cen Jin subconsciously glanced at the notebook in his hand. There was also a string of numbers at the footer, and the text was written in a recording mode. He found the cassette with the farthest date from the far left of the box and stuffed it into the recorder. He pressed the play button and said: "Speak Come back, the master of the recording speaks Chinese, is he from Huaxia?"

However, it is recorded in French.

The cassette made a whirring sound, and after a while a gentle man's voice slowly appeared: "...On January 2001, 1, Abel, Adolf, and Alexander and I went to the Black Iron Forest to start a job. We drove Enter that rumored highway of death.

Adolf talked about this highway of death with great interest. Many animals die every year. Like pilgrims, they ran to the highway one after another, standing quietly, and would not go no matter whether people honked or drove them away. They even rushed to the road. Under the wheel of a galloping car.

He also said that the road was originally a gray concrete surface, which had been stained black by the dead animals and blood.

After hearing this, Abel, an honorary member of Animal Protection, couldn't bear it. She said that the local government should take measures, either shoveling down the road, prohibiting vehicles from entering or leaving, or erecting fences on both sides of the road.

All in all, you can't do nothing.

Alexander is a gypsy, and his hometown is at 3 o'clock on this road. Of course, it is a long way, but he has indeed heard of this death road.Probably because the journey was too boring, he slowly told the secret of this road amidst our booing.

The highway of death passes through the black iron forest, the cemetery of all creatures and creatures. As long as the creatures enter, they will definitely get lost and stay there forever.A long time ago, in order to pass through the iron forest safely, people invited wizards to do it, expelling human beings from the ranks of all creatures, and at the same time paved a road across the black iron forest.

That road has a weird magnetic field, hiding some kind of mysterious power, attracting countless animals to commit suicide on this road in a pilgrimage-like posture every month, and the death of countless creatures and souls fill the black iron forest with the desire to kill.

Since then, people can freely enter and exit the black iron forest.

Alexander said: 'The selfishness of human beings confuses other creatures to commit suicide in exchange for a free existence. '

Of course we didn't take the story seriously, how many animals are killed each year on long roads due to migration or the inability to perceive the danger of non-living objects, or animals being suddenly stunned by the high beams of cars... Under various effects, there is the so-called "pilgrimage-like death". "

The cassette finishes playing here.

Saul and the black sheep asked what they were talking about, Cen Jin explained briefly, and his spoken English has improved.

"Did the notebook say anything about it?"

Ding Yiqing turned to the first page and said: "The date is the winter of 2008, and the last recorded date is the summer of 2010."

On a whim, Cen Jin asked about the publication time of the Siren Head series of books, and Black Sheep and Saul replied in unison: "Mid-July 2010."

Ding Yiqing turned to the previous page of written records: "On July 2010, 7, only two-thirds of the paper was used in one and a half years, which shows that the owner of the notes is not recording every day, but recording special situations. Every day The few days in the middle of the month will be recorded, and the owner of the note is used to adding the date after the recording is finished, but he broke halfway through writing, and he didn’t have time to write the date.”

Cen Jin: "What is the main record?"

Ding Yiqing: "The moon is full and the moon is waning, the activity time of Siren Head, the animal's pilgrimage suicide and the abnormality of the death road, and the shadow in the black iron forest. He said he..."

Ding Yiqing suddenly stopped, and Cen Jin asked him, "What did you say?"

Ding Yiqing snorted and looked a little strange: "He said he saw a miracle."

Cen Jin: "What miracle?"

Ding Yiqing flipped through the front part of the note: "It's broken, I didn't explain it specifically, but he seems to know some great secret."

Cen Jin carefully observed the subtle changes in Ding Yiqing's expression, and only saw sarcasm and disdainful indifference, but there was no intention to hide it, and there was no big emotional change, which seemed believable.

The black sheep raised his hand and said, "Well, I also understand French."

Saul then said, "There are two music festivals in Gaul, so I know a little bit. Maybe we can look at the notes and guess some special symbols in it."

"No need." Cen Jin gently refused with downcast eyes: "We can just continue listening to the cassette, there should be a record, and the cassette record is clearer."

He even doubted Ding Yiqing occasionally, let alone two strangers who had nothing to do with each other.

Putting the second cassette into the tape recorder, the black tape sizzled and continued to play the man's gentle voice, but this time there seemed to be a little more indescribable tension.

"The car drove for more than two hours on the black death road, and finally entered the black iron forest. We didn't see any animals in front of us, and the plains on both sides were as dead as the African desert we crossed before.

It was a silence that could drive people crazy. There was no wind, no sound, and there was no living creature, not even an insect or a small bird. It was unbelievable that such a vast world could not find a single animal. Not a single insect chirping was heard.

Having ventured to many places, I quickly realized how unusual this place was.

I think it is because of the disorder of the magnetic field. In some places, the magnetic field is weird, and it is dedicated to killing human beings, but animals are safe, and in some places, it is dedicated to killing animals, but human beings are safe. I think we have encountered the latter situation.

It wasn't until I entered the Black Iron Forest that I suddenly realized that the road of death just now was not really dead silence at all, and the road in the forest was the beginning of the nightmare.

Desolate, cold, and silent, like being in the deep sea, in the center of a desert, or in a deep cave, you don't feel angry even though you have companions around you.

Yes, not angry.

On the contrary, the breath of death enveloped the whole body, even Abel, who likes to talk the most, restrained himself, curled up in the back seat of the car in a gloomy mood, no one spoke, only I was still recording, and subconsciously lowered my voice. "

There was a long silence after that, and the recording person's breathing was faintly heard.

The deadly silence affects reality, and the treacherous atmosphere infects everyone's emotions, making them feel flustered and irritable in this inexplicable silence.

Black Sheep: "Why haven't you spoken for so long?"

Saul choked the tiger tightly: "Don't you find it strange? Why is there no sound of a car? No matter how good a car is, it is impossible to be completely silent. When recording, the sound of breathing can be recorded. Why is there no sound of a car?"

Heiyang put forward a hypothesis: "Maybe the sound insulation effect of the door is very good."

Saul: "What about the extra breathing?"

Heiyang was stunned: "What!"

"The recorder, Abel, Alexander, and Adolf, there are only four people, but there are five breaths... No, there is one more!" Saul stared at the tape recorder with fear on his face: "It's still increasing."

Heiyang also heard the extra breathing, imagining that in some gloomy environment, everyone's spirits were extremely tense, and even the sound of breathing was subconsciously held, thinking that it was safe in the cramped car, but unknown creatures appeared one after another He gasped for breath, almost having a heart attack.

Cen Jin knocked on the table and said, "Calm down, the people in the car didn't hear the extra breathing."

The black sheep and Saul were not comforted by this sentence, but even more horrified.

Cen Jin listened attentively and silently counted the extra breaths: "There are 36 breaths in total, and the number remains the same, but the breathing range changes. It may be that the car passes a certain distance, and some things can no longer follow, so the vacant place is replaced by others. stuff to fill in."

The black sheep and Saul trembled when they heard this, and almost wanted to hug each other face to face to keep warm.

"What do you mean?" Black Sheep trembled.

Saul's voice was erratic: "It means that there are many such things on that road, follow them all the way."

Cen Jin commented: "It should be in the state of soul body, but fortunately it has no weight and shape, otherwise it would be too crowded."

As soon as the voice fell, I heard a voice from the tape recorder again. It was a female voice, Abel: "Do you feel a little crowded?"

Alexander: "Somewhat."

Adolf chuckled: "No way, there are two vacant seats in the front row and the co-pilot seat, and there are only four of us. We are of medium stature and do not exceed the standard. How could it be crowded?"

"Yeah, why is it crowded?" Abel echoed.

There was another burst of suffocating silence, only the four people's violently panicked gasps were heard.

After a while, the recorder said: "Why don't you speed up the accelerator and get out of the black iron forest, it's getting dark, isn't it?"

"good idea."

Adolf stepped on the accelerator, the car sped forward, and the screeching sound of tires scraping the ground was finally recorded, but it didn't take long before Abel, who was in the co-pilot position, said in panic: "What is that?"

"What do you see?"

"Black shadow! There is a black shadow flashing past!"

"I didn't watch either."

"Where, I didn't see it at all. Wait, watch out—"

"Brake!"

Squeak—bang!Bang, bang, bang... After the sudden brake, there are continuous collisions and the sound of watermelons being crushed, just like a car hitting a heavy object continuously, and the wheels are crushed heavily from the fragile body, making a series of toothaches. There was a crunching sound, and then there was the screeching sound of emergency braking, and several intense panting and vomiting intertwined.

After about a few minutes, the recording has a new content: "We Gudong... bumped into an elk or a roe deer? With such a big body, it can't be a rabbit. How come so many animals deliberately bumped into it? They deliberately wanted to die, no It's none of my business, right? Shit, I'm steering to dodge and they're trying to crash into me, it's insane."

"Death Highway, we've met the 'Pilgrim'."

"You mean those animals? Alexander, are they really bewitched and become our scapegoats?"

"That's what my grandmother told me, and she told me, don't stop whatever you see, don't get out of the car."

As soon as the words were finished, the door opened, and the recorder shouted anxiously, "Abel, come back quickly."

"I can't do nothing, maybe there are still animals alive and we can save them."

"Abel—!"

Crack, blah, blah... the sound of the car starting, the recorder couldn't believe it: "Adolf, what are you doing? Abel hasn't come back yet!"

"It's too late, we must go. Abel's untimely stupid kindness will kill us, listen to us, Morse, the thing is coming! It saw Abel, and it saw us! Blood and dead animals will stop it the pace of our escape, to break free for us to escape!"

Except for the narration by the recorder, everyone else speaks English, so Black Sheep and Saul can understand it.

The speeding car, the accidents one after another and the anxious and irritable tone create a dangerous picture. I can't help but create such a picture in my mind. In the dark forest, a black road runs through the front and back. The future and the road are unclear. A car drives Fleeing wildly with the night lights, animal carcasses, internal organs and blood are scattered all over the road behind him, and monsters in the forest are attracted by the smell of blood.

In the center of the group of animal carcasses and internal organs, there was a woman running down her own way, staring in horror at the monster that appeared out of nowhere in front of her. She was powerless and was soon overtaken——

"I don't know what they said, I can only hear Adolf and Alexander roaring in extreme fear, I have never seen them so frightened, even when they crossed the desert and encountered quicksand.

Curiosity drove me back, but I saw Abel in the middle of the animal remains, and a tree in front of her.The tree towered into the sky, and it walked with dry and slender legs, and it took five or six meters in one step. Abel, who was 1.7 meters, was like a doll in front of that skinny thigh, not reaching its ankles. high.

I have never had a fear of giants, but at that moment the confrontation between the weak and the huge, and the panic of the disparity in strength gripped my heart. It turned out that I was not without fear of giants, but that I had never seen a giant that could scare me before.

The thing stretched out its hand to grab Abel, put it in its mouth and bit it in half, the sound of chewing expanded through the trumpet-shaped head, lingering in my ears endlessly.

I finally saw the monster's appearance clearly, God, what kind of monster is that? "

The cassette stopped abruptly, and Cen Jin quickly pulled out another cassette and put it in.

"Siren Head, I finally know its name.

The speed of the car was so fast that the engine smoked and stalled, and it stopped in the middle of the bridge. The two monsters behind were still roaring, and even made Abel's voice for help.

Killing and killing people, this monster actually imitates the victim's voice to hunt, it's too scary, is it actually a highly intelligent creature?

The three of us hid in the car and shivered, thinking that we could not escape the hunting of the monster. Unexpectedly, the lighthouse on the opposite side suddenly lit up, and the shells shot through our heads and hit the monster like a shower. It seemed to come alive.

The monster was driven away, we got off the car and walked across the bridge, and saw a yellow warning sign next to it reminding: 'Military Confinement', military restricted area.

When did the Black Iron Forest become a restricted military zone? "

Cen Jin looked at the full box of cassettes and felt that it would take too much time to listen to them one by one, so he asked Black Sheep and Saul to help find other tape recorders and play them in multiples.

Fast-forward the meaningless content directly, listen to it twice more and record it if it is useful.

He took the notebook and recorded: "On May 2001, 5, the recorder and his friends stayed in the military restricted area to investigate the Gypsy, Black Iron Forest and Siren Head. On March 13, 2002, Adolf and Alexander died in the process of hunting Siren Head , I have a new partner, a very beautiful black-haired girl, her name is Endo."

Black Sheep and Saul each came over with a tape recorder and said, "I found it."

Cen Jin took it and played the cassette at the same time.

Black Sheep and Saul were amazed. The three cassettes were played simultaneously, with Chinese and English intermixed from time to time, and he played them at double speed. Wouldn’t this miss key information?

Cen Jin lowered his head to take notes, his pupils showed a tinge of scarlet, but he hadn't noticed it yet.

At this time, Ding Yiqing took out the fourth tape recorder from the cabinet behind him, put it in the cassette and played it, and said, "I will control the double speed."

Cen Jin didn't lift his head: "Okay."

"On May 2002, 5, the commander sent an army deep into the Black Iron Forest to collect samples. I strongly oppose it. There are no powerful weapons to deal with monsters. Going rashly will only lead to death.

But the chief said they were fully prepared.

On May 2002, 5, well, the so-called full preparation is the Holy See exorcism picket team, what is the use of those wastes who use theocracy to seize power?

Endor was right. The government that relied on the Holy See has long since rotted, and the Holy See has been rotten into the mud since the Middle Ages or even earlier. Even if the gods are still there, such a Holy See and such human beings must be cast aside.

On July 2002, 7, the two-month sample collection ended, and the entire army was wiped out. On September 20, 2002, troops and pickets were sent again. In October of the same year, the entire army was wiped out.

Temporarily suspending sample collection, Endor and I were dispatched into the underground research room, and we saw a young Siren Head. "

"At the beginning, I didn't like this monster. My friends died at the hands of its kind. I was malicious. I didn't show mercy in the process of collecting data. I watched it be brutally treated by other researchers.

Here, it is not just a monster, but a mouse with tenacious vitality. Any cruel experiment you can think of has been applied to it, and even unimaginable cruel methods have fallen on it.

His girlfriend Endo has a soft heart, sympathizes with the monster, has a soft heart for the monster, and even gives the monster candy!

I roughly pulled Endor away, gave the monster multiple electric shocks, and warned it to stay away from Endor until two years later, there was a new plan on it. "

"In the winter of 2004, heavy snow fell, monsters attacked, and the base was destroyed. I desperately found my girlfriend Endo, and found that she was protected by that monster. In the early spring of 2005, I took my pregnant girlfriend Endo to live in the Black Iron Forest. In the depths, build a wooden house with the materials of the base, and the monsters stay around the wooden house, and occasionally go out to hunt and eat the meat of those animals.

... I don't know why it doesn't eat human flesh, and I don't know why it saves so much.

Perhaps, it is indeed different from other monsters. "

"My girlfriend calls it Xiaodi, and occasionally calls it Brother Di, it imitates human voices to communicate with us.

It's ridiculous, but human beings are emotional animals. They will have feelings for non-human species with names, and they will regard non-human species that can communicate normally as family members.

After Endor gave birth, I also considered him part of the family. "

The tip of the pen paused for a few seconds, scarlet mist filled Cen Jin's eyes, and his voice was calm: "In the twelfth lunar month of 2007, the Holy See exorcist picket team and the Bharat magic army jointly attacked the Black Iron Forest. The child was eaten by the fleeing Siren Head. Pretend to be a child's voice to deceive Endor and eat Endor.

Xiaodi was not well protected, and was taken away again by the people of the Holy See. They also took away seven or eight siren heads at the same time.

Then half of the magic army and picket team withdrew, leaving half of the army to replenish a large number of mercenaries, special departments of some organization, special teams... They frantically chased and killed the remaining Siren Heads in the Black Iron Forest.

I hate them, I hate this group of monsters, and I told them all about Siren Head's characteristics, abilities, and weaknesses that Piper has researched over the years, including Siren Head's lair.

It took seven days and seven nights to assist the army to destroy Siren Head, a large number of munitions, cars, helicopters... The Black Iron Forest was almost turned into a cemetery of scrap iron, and Siren Head was finally strangled. "

"On January 2008, 1, all members won, I knelt down and cried bitterly, and my wife and children were finally able to rest in peace.

On January 2008, 1, everyone rested in place, swept the battlefield, and observed the huge body structure of those monsters, but no one noticed any abnormalities in the Black Iron Forest.

Only I found out that I have studied this forest for many years. My wife, children, friends and first love were all buried in this forest. I seem to be able to hear its breath and feel every change in it.

So when the horrible darkness and danger broke through the ground, I was the first to see something was wrong, but no one believed me.

Of course, scientific researchers are only useful in the rear. On the battlefield, they are no different from ants.What's more, on the battlefield after victory, no one likes to listen to words that pour cold water on them. "

"...Zi, Zizi, on January 2008, 1, it turned out that it was not a demon, it was just a vicious dog guarding the gate."

"We unleashed the ultimate demon."

Play the last cassette, "I found Piper and rescued it. On the way to escape, I was obsessed with the fact that humans released demons. Then one day, we were still separated.

I can no longer find Xiaodi's whereabouts, and return to the Black Iron Forest in despair. I know that this time I will be buried in the forest forever, and my soul will be reunited with my wife, children and friends. "

Cen Jin raised his head and spit out two words: "Brother Di."

Heiyang and Saul were completely immersed in the recording, and they were startled when they heard the word "Di Ge" suddenly, and hugged each other, mistakenly thinking that Cen Jin was the recorder's wife, Endor.

"You, you, Endor?"

Huang Mao tugged at his collar: "Open your dog eyes and look carefully."

Black Sheep and Saul were not interested in his nudity, and just screamed: "Your eyes! The color of the devil!"

Ding Yiqing spread out the notebook and stuffed it into Huangmao's hands, preventing him from pulling off his clothes while covering his exposed collarbone: "The notebook records that the recorder named 'Morse' stayed in the Black Iron Forest and spent two or three years studying the forest. inside the secret.

The general idea is that the Black Iron Forest was once the place where angels fell, and it was also the entrance to hell in the Bible and in Europe.

The role of Siren Head is similar to the three-headed dogs guarding the gates of hell. With their presence, the gates will not be opened.Once they are all wiped out, all the weird and ferocious monsters in hell will come out.

Breeding monsters, using monsters to suppress monsters, it just so happened that the Siren Head of the ancient creature was selected to become this kind of monster.

Because Siren Head has perfect camouflage and imitation capabilities, its earliest appearance is not what we are familiar with now. It has many forms, including common and ordinary things such as street lamps and big trees.

The perfect camouflage is actually a super evolutionary ability. Through evolution, it can be disguised as the feared appearance of the monsters in the Black Iron Forest, and then use imitation of various sounds to intimidate them so that they dare not act rashly.

After Morse writes that 'the earliest records of breeding can only be traced back to the 1.1 witches who vanished from Santa Ursula in the Middle Ages, but this is only speculation and I don't have much evidence to support this contention', he seems to have found some way to reintroduce Close Dark Iron Forest.

until--"

Huang Mao: "Don't stop talking."

Ding Yiqing stroked Huangmao's hair and said, "Until someone moved the Black Iron Forest away." He smiled inexplicably: "There are still people who are smart enough to mess with it again."

With a 'pop', Huang Mao patted Ding Qingqing's hand away: "You are petting the dog."

Ding Yiqing stretched out his hand to wrap Cen Jin's long hair: "A dog's hair is softer than this malnourished yellow hair." After saying that, he flicked his wrist lightly, and a strong wind cut off the long hair neatly.

Only the grafted part is broken, exactly.

Throwing away the broken hair casually, Ding Yiqing forcefully held up the yellow-haired face: "It still looks pleasing to the eye."

Huang Mao slapped Ding Yiqing's pretty face, and pushed it away: "Get lost."

He stared indifferently at Saul and the black sheep who were trembling and hugging each other, the latter trembling even more.

"..." Huang Mao pressed his temples, leaned back his upper body and asked Ding Yiqing in a low voice: "Is there still a live broadcast outside?"

Ding Yiqing: "Originally they paid more attention to that Golden Eye."

Huangmao: "Originally?"

"I opened a bet on you, and I lost all my money," Ding Yiqing said, "I bet you to win."

The knuckles of the yellow-haired fingers creaked, but the tone was very calm: "Can you cover it up, I don't want to be forced to be famous for the time being."

Ding Yiqing thought for a while, agreed, and then asked, "I'm not curious what kind of bet it is?"

"No matter what, I will smash it."

Thinking of that scene, Ding Yiqing looked forward to it, raised his hand and snapped his fingers and said, "It's done."

Huang Mao walked out of the wooden house, the other two thought it over and found that the Ding Yiqing aura with a gentle smile was more terrifying, so they followed Cen Jin closely and asked, "Where are you going?"

Seeing Huang Mao walking towards the gate without looking back, the two quickly stopped them: "Aren't you afraid of death? When you walk out of this door, you will be chased and killed by monster dolls on your back, have you forgotten?"

Huang Mao suddenly stopped and pointed his index finger at the two of them: "Don't move, don't follow."

He looked back at the wooden house, Ding Yiqing was standing high on the roof with a black umbrella, smiling and waving at him, a bastard who didn't even apologize.

"Stay back in the cabin, it's safe there."

The two of Saul hesitated, and Huang Mao asked, "What have you done out of jealousy?"

The two were puzzled: "Huh?"

Huang Mao: "This trial is weird. The monsters representing the seven deadly sins are all complete. The author is quite mysterious, and he even claims to be a knight of the apocalypse. It's hard not to make people suspicious."

What exactly is he talking about?Saul's memory did not come back.

It's not like Cen Jin who was urging his brain to work just now, developing his brain area by instinct, breaking through the memory barrier set by the trial under strong stimulation, and remembering everything.

The yellow-haired scarlet eyes looked at the two of them: "Judgment will not bring the three of us together for no reason, I just know you all, one of you is the lead singer of a rock band who has achieved success, and the other is the lead singer of a bar rock band who has achieved nothing.

Maybe you were jealous of each other, and you did something wrong because of jealousy. Anyway, the cause of the incident and the result are similar. Go back to the wooden house to solve it by yourself, and don’t come out no matter what you hear or see.

Count me as destined to save your life. "

After finishing speaking, he said to the dazed two: "Go back."

Saul and Black Sheep involuntarily obeyed the instructions and walked back to the wooden house. As soon as the door was closed, they immediately returned to their senses. Under the severe brain pain, they thought of events such as the music festival, the apocalypse knight, and the trial, and their hearts were full of turmoil.

Huangmao didn't care about their progress. He stepped out of 'Siren Head's dollhouse' without looking back, and his destination was 'Slander's dollhouse'.

As soon as he stepped over the threshold, a large amount of thick fog quickly gathered in the black iron forest behind him, forming a giant shadow in the shape of a human.

Juying walked nearly [-] meters in two strides, and stretched out his long arms to try to pick up Cen Jin, who violated the precautions of the doll house.

Huangmao's movements didn't stop at all, he knocked on the wooden door in a smooth manner, knocked twice, and then an iron blue skinny hand suddenly pierced through the ashes floating in the air and grabbed the giant shadow's long arm.

Huang Mao went out on both feet, raised his head, looked at the big horn head of Siren Head who blocked the door tightly behind him, put his index finger and middle finger together on his forehead and made a gesture: "Revisit the old place, I hope you have a good time."
