The room was dark and smelly, and even if the sunshine outside was extremely bright, it could not bring any warmth to the place.
I covered my mouth and nose with one hand, holding the dagger at my waist with the other, and stepped on the creaking floor step by step. I don't know if it was a psychological effect, but the window panel was obviously rotten, but it perfectly blocked the noisy sound outside. The surroundings were eerily quiet, and if you listened carefully, you seemed to be able to hear the sound of the breeze. I carefully kicked away the damp, rotten straw-like things on the ground and walked towards the direction where the black shadow disappeared.
Being so close, I could see clearly that it was just an ordinary corner, nothing but thick dust.
So, was what I saw just now an illusion? !
After hesitating for a moment, I took a step back and prepared to leave, but at that moment, a face as pale as a white ghost suddenly appeared out of thin air! Then, a pair of skeleton-like arms suddenly stretched out from the empty corner. They grabbed my cloak and pulled me over!
oh!
My body was unstable and I fell towards the corner!
Oh my God! what happened? !
call--
When I shouted bad, I didn't hit the hard wall as I expected, but fell onto a thick meadow!
Without pausing for a second, I stood up from the mat, grabbed the thing next to me with my backhand, and pressed it hard under my body. At the same time, I pulled out the dagger and fiercely Stab towards it.
"Ah!" the thing screamed.
child? !
My hand shook, and the tip of the dagger sank deeply into the grass next to me.
It wasn't until this moment that I panted and saw clearly the thing I was holding down... No, it's not appropriate to call him a thing. He was indeed a child, and he was the one I was looking for!
"Su!"
It was obvious that he was also frightened, and his lips were trembling. He reminded me irresistibly of Selin, of the boy who disappeared into the green fire forever to save me. At that moment, I almost roared angrily, "Tell me everything you know! Otherwise, I swear I will cut out your tongue, gouge out your eyes, pull out your intestines and feed them to the dogs!”
"I saved your life! You can't do that!" He hugged my arm and shouted, crying out of fear, "Oh! Let me get up!"
That sentence made my boiling anger calm down a bit, "You? Saved my life?"
"I saw that villain from the patrol blocking you down! I was the one who brought you to the Cathedral of the Holy Light!"
"Dallion told me that someone slipped a note under their door, was it you?"
"It's me!" The boy cried with tears all over his face.
His words didn't sound like lies. I slowly let go of him. When my hands left his lapel, the boy jumped up like a fish and shrank into the corner opposite me, sobbing.
I suddenly discovered that there was an even smaller girl there.
Her hair was messy and her face was dirty. His eyes were staring blankly, and his mouth was slightly open, as if he was petrified.
I don't know why, but she gives me a weird feeling. But just when I was about to take a closer look, Su suddenly spoke, "This is my sister, Gail." The boy seemed to be afraid of me, but he still resisted my gaze and stood in front of his sister. , "Please, for the sake of me saving you, send us out of the city, okay? I can't find food for her here, and she and I will starve to death."
"What are you afraid of? Go out and tell the patrol what you know..."
"No! The patrol team is full of evil people. They will kill me! Without me, Gale will die!" Su yelled.
His words made me frown, "What did you do? Let them kill you?!"
"I……"
