ticking
Tick tock…
The sound of water drops falling to the ground came clearly from all directions, and there seemed to be water flowing on the ground.
The cold wind blew from nowhere and poured in through the neck.
It was pitch black all around and still nothing could be seen.
"Boss, I'm scared." The fat man grabbed an arm and said nervously.
"Afraid...what are you afraid of?" Corbill's voice came from the other side. Although he tried to be calm, there was still a bit of vibrato in his voice.
"Boss, there's something weird about this place. Where are you? Why can't I see you." The thin man's voice came from further away.
"Then whose hand is this?" The fat man was stunned, and suddenly felt that the hand he was holding was a little too thin. The skinny man was skinny, but this hand felt like... only bones!
"Don't be afraid, I'm here." A ball of bright green light lit up, illuminating a skull with delicate features, grinning at him, and said softly.
The fat man blinked and looked at the skeleton arm he was holding tightly.
"Ghost!!!"
A scream rang out, and the fat man threw away the arm, turned around and ran. He hit the door with a bang, bounced back, and fell to his feet.
"Here we come, brother."
The skeleton man appeared behind him again and said with a smile.
"You...don't come here! Boss! Boss, help me!!!"
The fat man was so frightened that his whole body was trembling. He crawled to the side and screamed for help.
He has never seen a talking skeleton in his life, it's really scary!
"Fat man, where are you? What are you whining about?" The surroundings of Corbier were still dark. Fatty's cries could be heard very close to him, but his shadow could not be seen.
The ticking sound became more and more urgent, and water dripped down, falling on him like rain.
"Why is this shabby house still leaking?" Corbil frowned and waved his hand, a drop of water fell on his lips, and he stretched out his tongue to lick it.
"Salty?"
His brows furrowed. It seemed like it wasn't rain, and it wasn't raining at all before he entered.
"This shabby house does seem a bit weird." Corbill tightened his grip on the sword in his hand. After entering the door, he was separated from the fat man and the thin man. Although he could hear their voices, he didn't know where they were.
Fatty's screams were right in his ears, but he couldn't tell where he was, and he didn't know what was going on that made him so panicked.
At this moment, someone tapped him on the shoulder from behind.
"Skinny man, you..." Corbier turned around, but his eyes suddenly widened.
A pale face appeared silently less than a centimeter away from his face. Their eyes faced each other. They were a pair of dead fish eyes with a faint light. The long hair was as messy as kelp. , dripping wetly onto the ground.
A strong fishy smell assaulted the nostrils, like a rotten fish, making people sick.
"what!"
Corbil was startled, and subconsciously swung the long sword forward in his hand.
The figure disappeared instantly, and the long sword struck the empty space.
The surroundings were once again plunged into darkness. If the smell in the air hadn't disappeared, it would have seemed like the previous scene had never happened.
The water droplets were getting bigger and bigger, and strong winds were blowing. The wind carried a strong fishy smell, and there was also the faint sound of waves.
"Stop pretending! Come out and fight with me if you can. What's the point of doing these messy things! Come out! Come out!" Corbill waved the long sword in his hand and slashed around, but every sword hit him. When I reached the empty space, I didn't touch anything.
"How is that possible! This restaurant is obviously not big, and it is full of tables and chairs! How is it possible that nothing can be cut!" Corbill's heart sank.
He originally thought it was just some deceptive trick used by the magician to frighten the thieves who were not good enough, but now it seems that the situation may not be as simple as he thought.
On the other side, the scene in front of the thin man changed, and he found that he was already on a small boat, drifting on the sea.
It was pitch black all around, and the wind and rain were blowing. The boat was like a leaf, rolling up and down with the waves, as if it would be overturned by the next wave at any time.
"What...what is this? Didn't we enter a restaurant? Why did we end up in the sea! I...I can't swim..." The thin man clung to the edge of the boat and shouted in panic.
"Ouch!"
At this moment, a cry of surprise sounded from above, and with a pop, a fat figure fell from the sky and landed on the boat. The boat shook and almost capsized.
"Fat man, why are you here?" The thin man looked at the man who fell from the sky onto the boat and shouted softly.
The fat man who was beaten to pieces opened his eyes when he heard the sound, looked at the thin man in front of him, hugged him, and cried: "Skinny man! It's so good to see you! There was a skeleton chasing me just now. I scared dad to death!"
"Yeah, it's so damn scary." A frightened voice sounded behind him.
The fat man's expression froze for a moment, and when he looked back, he saw the skeleton man sitting on the bow of the boat, patting his chest.
"WTF!"
The thin man raised his leg and kicked the skeleton man into the sea.
With a pop, it was submerged by the waves without even a splash.
The fat man was stunned for a while, then gave the thin man a thumbs up and said sincerely: "Skinny man, you are really good."
"Help me, my legs are weak and I can't stand anymore." The thin man took his legs back and collapsed directly in the fat man's arms, "What the hell is this? I'm scared to death."
"Get me a piece of it."
At this time, a voice came from the sky again, and before the fat man and the thin man could react, a figure had already hit them.
The three of them lay on the boat to relax for a while.
"Boss, what should we do now? Why did we come to this sea? Such a small broken boat capsized in a wave." The fat man said in despair. He now regretted why he proposed to steal some fish grilling artifact. It looks like a normal restaurant during the day, but why does it look like this at night?
Corbier looked around and said in a deep voice: "Don't panic, this must be just a trick of the magician. As long as we look carefully, we will definitely find it..."
"Wow——"
Before Kaubir finished speaking, a big wave hit, and the seawater splashed on the three of them.
"This water is salty! This is real sea water!"
"It's over, this is the real sea! The boat has taken in water! Drain the water quickly!"
The fat man and the thin man exclaimed and began to scoop water frantically with their hands.
Corbil looked at a disheveled head appearing on the sea, and the muscles on his face twitched.
Come again!
…
"Hahaha, it's so fun! Two more basins of water, I want to splash it again!"
Amy and Anna each held a bucket and smiled happily.
