The stars faded away, and the night sky was as dark as ink, with only a full moon hanging in the center.
The breeze came slowly, but the saltiness and coolness of the ocean were no longer there, replaced by a bone-deep coldness.
Like falling into an ice cave.
Involuntarily shivering, Valentin crossed his arms and rubbed the skin on his arms. He looked away from Lin Eagle Owl's eyes and looked around.
Clouds appeared and covered most of the moon. The light that fell suddenly dimmed a lot, but it still allowed him to see the surrounding environment clearly.
The spacious and luxurious guest room disappeared, and what appeared in Valentine's field of vision was a forest. Countless dead trees as white as bones surrounded him, their branches twisted, either diagonally or straightly piercing the sky, with no top visible.
The branches extending from the trunk are densely packed, without curvature or leaves, like sharp thorns. They are entangled and connected together, tearing the sky into pieces, like a big net held in mid-air, and it seems that it will fall down soon, wrapping everything on the ground, squeezing and piercing it.
Looking at this big net, Valentin felt as if he was being pressed down by a huge boulder, and his breathing became unsmooth.
——Gu!
The night owl in mid-air opened its beak again and let out a shrill scream.
At this time, the full moon was completely covered by dark clouds, and the entire forest was immersed in darkness, unable to be seen beyond three meters.
The wind roared in my ears, like ghosts crying and wolves howling; the dead leaves on the ground swept up, erratic and moving like souls. The branches in the air collided with each other and made a rattling sound. Those red-yellow eyes stared at him, like a sharp sword, piercing his heart.
The whole world is oppressing Valentine. As long as he has a little fear in his heart at this moment, it will be catalyzed by everything he feels, amplified endlessly, and his spirit will be exploded until he collapses.
But Valentine just stood there, motionless.
Although his brows were furrowed and his body was trembling, it looked like he was just cold, not afraid.
Soon, this horror movie-like scene passed. The moonlight shone on the ground again, and the woods returned to their original appearance.
Valentine also lowered his arms, no longer shaking, and seemed to be used to the cold here.
He did not move, but raised his head to meet the gaze of the eagle owl, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.
The smile is very healing, and he seems to be very satisfied with this welcome ceremony.
In fact, when he heard the night owl's first call, Valentine felt relieved.
Because this shows that he guessed correctly.
Jiao Zhengyu's sudden appearance, her words, and Miss Fox who didn't answer the phone all proved that a customer was waiting for him.
He came back so late and made the other party wait for so long, so it was okay to let her vent her emotions.
It was just that he might disappoint her, and Valentin was unfazed by this psychological fear.
Although the body is young, the mind has been worn by time over and over again. He is no longer the college student he once was who didn't even dare to watch horror movies. Everything Ye Xiao does now is of no use to him.
Valentine understood that this was a test before the war started, and he was looking forward to the opponent's next move.
The current situation is that the enemy is in the dark and we are clear, and adapting to circumstances is the best option.
It's okay to be proactive, but that will end quickly.
Isn’t it boring?
The assassination in the morning left a deep impression on Valentine, allowing him to taste the danger of life for the first time in a long time.
But this did not make him cautious, but rather interested...
What's the point of sunbathing on the beach and shopping with your girlfriend? It's not as exciting as dancing on the tip of a knife.
The feeling of racing heart, adrenaline surge, surge, and every cell in the body is active. For Valentine at this moment, it is even higher than free fighting with his two sisters.
This kind of mentality is the same as that of the guys who played extreme sports on the planet in Valentine's previous life.
What he had at his fingertips every day was no longer enough to keep him addicted.
If you want to do it, you must die a great death.
He wanted to taste it again, to get enough of it.
Anyway, there is enough capital.
And Ye Xiao is the one who can satisfy his desires.
Now that this little girl has arrived at his door, can Valentine dismiss her hastily?
Then I must eat her up and wipe her clean~
At this moment, Night Owl didn't know the perverted thoughts in Valentine's heart. The bird stood on the branch, looking at the little dragon man, big eyes glaring at the small ones.
She doubted the accuracy of the information.
If the information inside is true, the scene just now would make Valentine tremble more than just.
This kid should also be able to talk some trash.
On the surface, he looks scared, but not to the point of being scared to the point of peeing like an ordinary person. After a while, he will explore the surroundings like a normal person, or think of ways to get out of here.
He would never stand there motionless like he is now, as if nothing was wrong, and still have the intention to smile at himself.
Is there even a little expectation in the eyes?
Why, do you want to die so much?
Did you buy yourself a huge amount of insurance? Want me to be the knife that causes your 'accidental death'?
The night owl's psychological activities are naturally not so rich. She thought briefly and came to a decision quickly.
No matter what, this opportunity cannot be missed.
Since the target has taken the initiative to wash his neck and wait for it, just take the knife and cut it off yourself.
But before the real knife falls, there must still be necessary temptations.
There was no movement from the Lin Eagle Owl here, but Valentine couldn't hold himself back for now. But he didn't take any action, he just stretched his neck towards the bird, trying to tease it loudly.
But before his breath left his throat, Valentine suddenly heard a sharp sound.
Sa!
It was as if something cut through the air and flashed past his ears.
Then, the air came out of Valentine's throat.
Just mixed with blood.
At the same time, the woods also changed. The dead trees that were too tall to be seen suddenly crooked, taking the entire land and sky with them.
The whole world seemed to be slapped by God and started to spin, flipping up and down, and finally stopped slowly with a "thud".
Valentin's eyes widened and he saw the ground above his head, but his feet were not touching the sky, but were hanging in front of him.
The incisions on his neck were neat, and blood gushed out like spring water, staining the fallen leaves at his feet red. A few drops of blood fell in Valentine's eyes, covering the entire illusion with a scarlet veil.
Plop.
The headless corpse fell down, picking up a few dead leaves. It flew up suddenly, and soon fell slowly again.
A touch of yellow covered Valentin's face, covering his eyes.
At this time, his thinking was slow due to lack of blood, and he realized that he had been beheaded.
That sound cut not only the air, but also his own neck.
And life.
[It turns out...decapitation is a method of death, does it feel like this...]
Valentine thought he was indestructible, and his endless vitality suddenly became weak when the invisible blade arrived, as if a stone had liquefied into water and was split into two.
Even though his head was in a different place at this time, he could still feel the vitality surging out of his body.
The blood on his neck was no longer as violent as it was at the beginning, but it was still gushing outward. The blood that flowed out has gathered into a small red pool, and the edge is expanding more and more slowly.
The water upstream is blocked, and the water downstream cannot be replenished and gradually dries up.
Valentine's thinking is still not interrupted, but it has become extremely blurry.
He used up the last of his brain cells to remember how he felt at this moment.
[interesting……]
There were no clouds blocking the bright moon, but Valentine could no longer see the light.
The last bit of life force was also dissipated.
From the beginning to the end, the life-saving thunder and lightning did not appear.
It was as if he had been forgotten by the world, just like the caution he had just thrown out the window.
