The sky became increasingly gloomy, with a thick black covering the entire sick village. The temperature in the air gradually dropped, the biting low temperature almost freezing the internal organs, and the terrifying sound of wind surrounded the wooden house.
The fire was poured into the house from various gaps, and the weak flames were swaying in the wind, as if there was a risk of being blown out at any time. Even the wooden house was shivering in such wind.
There was a corpse sitting directly opposite, still maintaining the same posture as when he was alive. Ethan was not afraid, so he sat down at the table, took out Jiang Chenchuan's pocket watch, glanced at the time, and then looked at the weather outside the window.
This time he went out a little recklessly. He didn't see anyone during the whole trip. However, he wasn't an idiot. It was hard to tell what was hidden in the forest.
There was an inexplicable feeling of being followed. Ethan tried to look for it several times, but he couldn't find any clues about the other party. It was just the darkness surrounding him that made him feel irritable.
Ethan knew that there could not be any normal people in such a dilapidated place. Listening to the faint thunder outside the house, he knew that this would be a rapid rainstorm, and he didn't know whether these small dilapidated wooden houses could withstand the storm.
Speaking of storms, Ethan thought of the rumored owner of Xinlan Hai who was the God of Storms. He heard that there was only one god who could control thunderstorms.
But no one could prove the authenticity of the legend. Ethan lay by the window and took a look. The raindrops outside had already fallen. He couldn't leave for the time being, so he could only stay with the skeleton for a while.
There was not much time to be patient. Ethan thought for a while, picked up a wooden stick, burned one end with fire, drew a black circle on the ground, and dripped his own blood in the center of the circle. Thousands of words
Then he packed up his belongings. He didn't intend to sit here and wait for death. What's more, as the sky gradually darkened and the sound of rain gradually became clearer, he could feel that something terrible was running out of the forest.
He picked up the fire source and walked into the depths of the wooden house. Surprisingly, there was a door ajar at the back, and everything he saw was pitch black.
Even when the fire source is mentioned, the black shadows will shrink back slightly. The darkness outside the house seems to swallow the light source, but they dare not approach the light.
When he turned back, the window outside the window had become pitch black, and he couldn't see his fingers. The darkness felt the presence of Ethan, a living creature, and actually covered the entire wooden house, wrapping him up little by little.
It seemed that if they took another step forward, they would step into the darkness and realize what they were afraid of. A brand new idea formed in Ethan's mind. Put down the source of fire,
…
After reaching an agreement with the monster, you can relax. The wind makes a strange whine through the hole, leaving only crackling sparks flying around. A rare calm pervades this cold underground.
Looking down at the clock, Jiang Chenchuan knew that the sun was rising outside.
This also means that the darkness has dissipated, they are no longer threatened by their lives, and it is no man's land at this time.
Jiang Chenchuan was worried about the situation in Chudong, but after thinking about it, Chudong was not a weak person who could be bullied.
After making sure that he would not be attacked if he went out at this moment, Jiang Chenchuan slowly stood up. As soon as he moved, the monster opposite also stood up at the same time.
"Is it dawn yet?"
"Bright."
Jiang Chenchuan packed up his things, took the bones with him, and opened the fragile iron door for defense. The light from the outside world fell in bit by bit. The further outside he went, the more he felt the unique warmth.
Maybe it was due to a night of sleepless nights and tight nerves. As soon as they came out, they felt dizzy. There were some rustling and rubbing sounds around them. They didn't know whether it was the sound caused by the wind or someone passing by near them.
The monster seems to hate the sun. When he follows Jiang Chenchuan, he will try his best to find some cover to hide, but maybe they, who are originally humans, don't want to see him look like neither a human nor a ghost.
"I came from Ronark City. Due to the epidemic, it has become very scary. If you want to go there..."
At this point, the monster paused, and Jiang Chenchuan stopped and turned to look at him.
"how?"
"It's nothing. If you don't want to die, it's better not to go to Ronark City."
The sun broke through the dark clouds and shone on the earth. Where the monster originally died, the body was no longer visible. Only the bones buried shallowly in the ground showed a little white.
"Be careful of the forest."
Just as they were about to leave the sick village, the monster quietly added.
The real danger is not these scary-looking monsters, but the peaceful-looking forest. Although it is already winter, there are still some emerald green leaves and green grass.
Everything that goes against the grain is weird.
If he wanted to return to the starting point, he had to go through the forest again. Compared with the calmness of walking through the forest the first time, Jiang Chenchuan seemed to be able to feel something. Even the power in his body was flowing crazily and he could no longer Easy to control.
In a crisis-ridden environment, the senses will become more acute and the alertness will continue to increase. Before setting off, Jiang Chenchuan hesitated for a moment, looked at the green forest in front of him, took off his pocket watch, and hung it at the entrance.
"It's useless. I heard that since something happened in the sick village and many people died, the ghosts who can't escape have gathered here and taken the lives of passers-by. It's okay during the day, but at night, no one can escape from the forest. Leave here."
The monster murmured, and the wind gradually became stronger. With his words, the forest seemed to give
^0^In response, there were some weird sounds that made people's hair stand on end.
"Let's go, we have to go back to meet up."
Jiang Chenchuan said with a normal expression.
"Those people deep underground, are you sure you don't want to call them?"
The monster seemed to see something. His red eyes were spinning, and he didn't know what he was thinking of writing.
The child said that once you become a monster, it is equivalent to being sentenced to death, and you can only die slowly under the torture of the curse.
"Need not."
A dark shadow flashed across his peripheral vision. Jiang Chenchuan looked back and found that it was Chu Dong looking at them not far away. He probably saw the monster following him, so he didn't get close.
They had to go deep into the forest. There was no need to take risks with him in early winter. The dead branches and leaves on the ground made a clicking sound. The forest was obviously not big, but it was millions of meters away when walking.
The deeper you go, the more you can smell a strange smell, with a hint of fishy smell, and even the monster has to hide away when it smells it.
"Escaped?"
"No, I left before the city was closed. I have been hiding in a nearby village. I thought I could escape. Unexpectedly, the people in those villages were also infected with this mark. In the end, everyone hid. However, over time, it became like this.”
The monster looked at his body and let out a disdainful sneer. This appearance that even he would find disgusting was no different from that of a monster.
While walking, suddenly, a black shadow appeared in front of me.
That was something that didn't exist yesterday.
The footsteps following behind him paused for a moment, obviously a little nervous, and Jiang Chenchuan also began to be wary.
"Wait...he..."
Jiang Chenchuan also noticed something was wrong. The figure in front of him was motionless, like...a sculpture.
"He must have died after entering the forest last night."
They slowly approached and saw another corpse of a monster, but it had solidified, with blood-red eyes still open, and the marks on the body had dimmed. It should have been caused by being trapped in the forest late at night and not leaving in time.
"Huh-it's okay."
Seeing that it was the deceased made people feel relieved. The monster walked around the body and found nothing unusual, so he told Jiang Chenchuan.
Since there was nothing unusual, they continued to walk forward, and their figures were gradually covered by trees. There were always some strange sounds in the forest, and the light spots through the broken leaves sprinkled on the ground, making it seem like the land was covered with a layer. Gold powder has an inexplicable peaceful atmosphere.
The corpse just stood there without any life. The village that brought death and the cursed city always gave people a sense of fragmentation and decay.
The sounds of Jiang Chenchuan and the monster had completely disappeared, and when there was no one around, the corpse's body suddenly moved.
A black aura slowly emerged from his body, as if alive, and slowly penetrated into the ground.
The mark was still the same, dim and lackluster, showing no power at all.
Except for the incident of encountering a dead body, the journey was uneventful. The hut where they stayed temporarily could be seen in the distance, and no one was seen moving around.
"Is this right here?"
"right."
The closer they got, the more worried Jiang Chenchuan became, fearing that they would come out in the middle of the night.
"Meow"
As soon as they arrived at the door, they heard a clear meow. The black cat jumped out of the darkness, jumped on the fence, and looked at them with its head tilted, as if to confirm who was coming.
"There's a cat? It's incredible."
The monster sighed. It could be seen that his condition had reached a bad point, but he still wanted to play and touch the cat's fur. Seeing such a strange and bloody behemoth approaching, the black cat screamed in surprise, jumped down and disappeared. No trace.
"You scared her."
Jiang Chenchuan slowly opened the door.
"Is it the cat from Sick Village?"
"We brought it."
Hearing Jiang Chenchuan's words, the monster turned his head in shock. Although it had no face, some information could still be heard from his exclamation tone.
"What!? Are you here for vacation? How dare you bring a cat to a place like this."
"how?"
"Even cats may be infected with this disease. Even if the cat is fine, you don't want it to be left in a place like this after something happens to you."
Before he turned into a monster, he was a person who loved animals. He even had his own shop in Ronark City. However, he had experienced too many hardships and was only thinking about surviving. He almost forgot about his previous life. Own.
"Someone will survive."
Even if everyone is sacrificed, Chudong will survive. She will shoulder her mission and return to Polnia to continue living.
"Innocent."
The monster sneered, but did not say any more.
It was because it felt that danger was approaching. A certain figure jumped up from the side, revealing terrifying golden eyes, which were filled with the fierceness of a beast.
"Berito, stop."
Hearing Jiang Chenchuan's call, Bellito retracted his claws in the air, turned around and landed next to the monster.
"Is there another kid in your team? Or one with golden eyes?"
The monster was a little confused. No matter which item he took out, it was surprising.
"Uncle Ivel
^0^Uncle, you are finally back! "
Seeing Bellito's excitement, Jiang Chenchuan touched his head and watched the golden color in Bellito's eyes gradually recede. The monster was even more surprised. Legend has it that there is only one family who is born with special powers, and their eyes will turn into something like The color of gold.
"Well, where's Ethan?"
Jiang Chenchuan asked normally.
"Oh..."
Bellito looked troubled.
"What's wrong?"
"Early in the morning, he tied up Balas and asked me to take care of my home, and then went to the forest to find you."
Bellito raised his hand and pointed to the forest not far away. Hearing that he only approached during the day, Jiang Chenchuan was relieved of his worries.
But the trouble was not just that. As soon as she opened the door and entered the room, she saw Yulia sitting at the table with a worried look on her face, and there was only an empty chain next to her.
"Yuliya."
After hearing the call, Yulia raised her head and saw Jiang Chenchuan and Berito walking in. Yulia's eyes suddenly lit up.
It turned out that Barras was already in a paralyzed state, and with Berito watching, Ethan relaxed his guard a little. As a result, not long ago, due to Jiang Chenchuan's approach, Barras returned to normal and casually He found a reason to break free from the shackles, and without any intention of harming Yulia, he left through the back door.
Thinking about it, firstly, Balas has always wanted to escape, and Jiang Chenchuan would not be surprised by such behavior. Secondly, he is still bound, and even if he escapes, he will not be able to escape very far, at most near Jiang Chenchuan. No matter how far the activity was, Ballas himself would consider it, so Jiang Chen didn't spend too much thought on it.
The only trouble now is that Ethan's unauthorized actions disrupted Jiang Chenchuan's overall plan.
After the monster found out, he seemed a little anxious. He was already wandering between pain. It was not a good idea to go out to look for people now. He could only wait for Ethan to come back.
It circled around the room anxiously, and Yulia was frightened to see it. She had not seen the later stages of the curse, and could not imagine that it was twisted into something like a normal person.
"I can't wait any longer!"
The monster slammed the door and left.
But before ten seconds passed, he hurried back in horror. As soon as he entered the house, he quickly turned around and closed the door.
"What's wrong?"
Bellito was a little curious. He lay next to the window and looked out, but saw nothing.
"Let's wait...wait, maybe...it's going to rain soon."
the monster stammered.
Jiang Chenchuan walked to the window and looked out. The originally clear sky was covered with dark clouds, and there were faint thunder and lightning flashes in the distance. There was an abnormal wind around him, adding to the fear in the already strange place.
Dear, this chapter is finished, I wish you a happy reading! ^0^
