Chapter 122 Believe me
So I feel like I'm in a similar situation now, and I even suspect that the owl just woke up after sleeping too much.
It posed no threat to us at all, but just as I was slowly flying towards the owl, it suddenly let out a strange cry and then flew into the air.
An echo lingered in my ears, and the gust of wind that shot up almost made me crash into a tree.
I never expected that the owl would just fly away like that, leaving behind a mysterious silhouette. Was I just scaring myself?
Actually, the old man at the village entrance was just using stories to deceive us.
I watched the owl fly away with a heavy heart, still unable to forget its mysterious smile.
"Are you alright, Yimao Er?" Dafu asked anxiously as he followed.
"No, it's nothing," I said, still shaken.
"It's alright, it's alright," Dafu said anxiously.
"Did you see that owl smile just now?" I asked Dafu very softly, looking in the direction the owl disappeared.
"No, I only saw those two moon-like eyes. How could his eyes be so bright?" Dafu asked, puzzled.
Hey, can you focus on the important part? Is this the time to talk about whether those eyes are bright or not? I'm talking about that eerie smile.
I'm going crazy! What is all this nonsense? I'm about to lose it! What is Dafu looking at all day long? Can't he even focus on the important things?
It's pointless to talk to Dafu now; I should just find a way to leave this place as soon as possible. That owl's smile gives me a really bad feeling.
Although I can't quite describe the feeling, it's a very bad feeling. It's like having a nightmare. Even though I know it's a dream, I still feel very uncomfortable.
That's how I feel right now. The thing I want to do most right now is to get out of here as soon as possible.
So I grabbed Dafu and flew towards the gas station. No matter what, I had to get out of there first. People only feel safe when they see the light, no matter what.
Although I am now in the body of a fly, my mind is still that of a human. So I still love the light, and even if I do nothing, I feel that the light can bring me a sense of security.
But those animals are different. Animals can provide them with protection and opportunities to find food. They like the dark, but I don't. So my first thought was to escape and rush to the gas station filled with light.
As I flew quickly toward the gas station, I kept thinking about the owl's eerie smile.
My subconscious told me that as long as I flew out of this dark forest, there would be no danger, so I recklessly flew towards the refueling direction.
Just as Da Fu and I were flying for a short while, we were suddenly blocked by something, which entangled me and made me unable to move. No matter how I flew, I couldn't move.
I quickly looked down and almost burst into tears. There was a huge spider web beneath me. How could I have forgotten about this? There was a spider web here!
"Twenty cents! We're trapped in a spider web! What should we do?" Dafu cried out anxiously, pricking the spider web with his needle.
"Don't move, the more you move, the more firmly the spider web will stick." I quickly calmed down.
I suddenly realized that after going through so much, I'm slowly starting to grow, although I still feel flustered and indecisive sometimes.
However, when faced with a critical crisis, I can still remain calm and not panic too much.
Perhaps this is human instinct; some people are usually very calm, but they panic and lose their composure when faced with an emergency.
However, some people may seem carefree and timid in normal times, but when faced with a crisis, they can make surprisingly calm moves that even they themselves wouldn't believe.
I am clearly the second type, the kind who can remain calm when faced with major events.
After hearing my words, Dafu immediately quieted down. Although he stopped moving, he asked anxiously, "What should we do about the 12 cents?"
How am I supposed to know what to do in this situation? I've never encountered it before, but now is not the time to panic. Only by calming down can I think of a solution.
So I thought for a moment and said, "Don't panic, stay calm, I'm thinking of something."
For now, all I can do is comfort Dafu. After all, I know how powerful spider silk is. I've been trapped in spider silk several times, and I've almost never managed to escape on my own.
So what I'm saying now is just to comfort Dafu. Actually, even I don't quite believe it myself when I say those words.
"Twenty cents, do you think we're going to die?" Da Fu said sadly.
"How could that be? Don't talk nonsense." I tried to understand my body, but it didn't move at all.
"One cent and two cents, I know we might not be able to escape, but there's something I don't know if I should say," Da Fu said, his voice trembling with the distinctive sobbing tone of Lin Chi-ling.
"If you shouldn't say something, then don't say it," I said, feeling quite annoyed.
"But if I don't say it, I'm afraid I won't have the chance to say it again," Dafu said sadly.
What the hell is going on? What are you trying to say? I know what to say at this point without even thinking.
Those melodramatic TV shows are all the time, but could I let her say it? Of course not. If I did, even if I died, I wouldn't be able to rest in peace.
So I quickly said, "Don't tell anyone. I already told you that you'll die immediately if you reveal your secret. As long as you don't tell, we won't die."
"But..." Dafu still wanted to say something.
"Trust me, really, please don't tell anyone," I said with absolute certainty.
"Really?" Dafu still refused to believe me.
"Believe me, why would I lie to you? Besides, I've watched so many TV shows and read so many novels, and basically, people who reveal their secrets die. If we don't tell, I might be able to escape this time. Have you forgotten that we've escaped twice before?" I quickly explained.
To be honest, I'm not afraid of dying, I'm afraid that I won't be able to accept what Dafu is going to say next. I'm afraid I won't have the confidence to face Dafu in the future.
So it's best to say nothing.
