"Hey, I don't know your name yet, but at least we have a chance to meet you."
The breeze blowing from nowhere blew a strand of the stranger's long white hair in front of him.
"Why are you always a step too slow... What's the problem..." Against the backdrop of the white snow, her eyes seemed to briefly return to light blue.
But if you look carefully, it seems that there is no change.
It seemed like she was struggling for a long time, until Tang Yiling could no longer hold up, she lifted Tang Yiling up, put her arms under her armpits, supported Tang Yiling, and walked step by step away from the dormitory building.
When the two figures disappeared, the mist that had been dispersed gathered again.
A black shadow that had lost its form was slowly recovering from its defeated body.
It wasn't until the cracks on his body began to heal that the black shadow turned to look in the direction where Tang Yiling and the mysterious girl disappeared.
"..."
A low hum sounded from the black shadow, and its body quickly merged into the darkness like a real shadow.
The originally scattered mist seemed to have a consciousness after the black shadow was completely integrated into the darkness; the mist and darkness were continuously compressed and mixed until it became an existence like an ink block, and then it stopped moving.
At the same time, the black mist, which was like an ink block, was also rapidly chasing in the direction where Tang Yiling and the two escaped.
Wherever the black mist passes, everything is soaked and swallowed up, and eventually returns to darkness.
"Hey, are you following?" The white-haired girl dragged Tang Yiling's body forward while looking back at the dark street behind her. "I knew they wouldn't give up so easily."
As if feeling the pursuit from the black mist behind her, the girl's pace gradually quickened.
In the dimming light, a building that was different from other dormitories appeared in her eyes.
Walking through the dimly lit alley, Leng Shuanghan, who had been carrying Tang Yiling on his shoulders, slowly raised his head.
In the lobby on the first floor of the apartment building, bright lights dispersed the increasingly dense black fog around them.
Under the light of the hall, a mature, steady and tall woman is waiting for someone's return in the most elegant manner.
When her light blue eyes saw the woman standing in the hall, a reassuring smile appeared on her lips unconsciously. "So you're here. I thought you had gone to bed long ago."
"Master Shuanghan hasn't fallen asleep yet. How can I, a subordinate, sleep peacefully?" A steady and mature female voice came from the spacious and warm hall.
The woman's voice calmed her, who was still a little panicked, and the woman also took steps towards the two of them.
"Tap! Tread!"
Elegant footsteps came from the tile-covered hall, and the figure supporting Tang Yiling passed by her elegant figure.
"Then, I'll leave the rest to you, Rowena."
"No problem, Lord Shuanghan."
Rowena, who was wearing a blue and white dress, bowed slightly towards the direction where Leng Shuanghan and Tang Yiling were leaving. His sky-blue eyes were always staring at the black fog approaching quickly outside the door.
"If it disturbs Master Shuanghan's enjoyment, it would be my dereliction of duty as a subordinate."
The blue-white ice spear quickly condensed behind him, and his originally empty right hand was gradually occupied by an ice sickle measuring two meters tall.
"The rest of the crowd needs to wait outside the door. But if you encounter someone like you..."
The blue-white ice gun stood facing the sky, occupying the left half of the space on Rowena's back in a fan shape. The ice sickle held tightly in her right hand showed the grace of a dancer in her hand.
"I can only let you personally send you to that... hell of reincarnation!"
The sickle shadow, unable to clearly see its movement trajectory, swung down towards the endless darkness ahead in the direction drawn by Rowena under the light.
"Let this round of moonlight..."
The sickle shadow kept waving in the black mist, constantly cutting off all possibilities for its advancement; the ice spear waiting to attack flew out from behind Rowena and stabbed straight into the depths of the darkness!
"Zhao Che Wan Chuan!"
The sharp ice spears are constantly tearing apart the black fog in front of them at a speed that is beyond the naked eye; the darkness that was originally as thick as ink is now like sheets of soft book paper, all penetrated by the blue and white gun shadows .
"Bang!!!"
A dull explosion sounded from the darkness, and the black mist that turned into dust quickly dissipated in the explosion; the moonlight, which had not appeared for a long time, fell from the sky with the stars.
Looking at the white snow illuminated by the moonlight, Rowena put away the ice sickle in her hand; she tapped her lips with her index finger, her eyes seemed to be filled with confusion.
"Although the lines I just said suit me very well, I still feel that there are some inconsistencies... Is it because I used a sickle instead of an ice sword?"
Rowena recalled the lines and characters of the characters in the game played by Bing Shuanghan, and then smiled. "Alas, Master Shuanghan still likes to tease people... He always puts me in the front every time he cosplays."
"So... apart from the character and figure of the Bella cosplayed at the last comic show, everything else seems to fit the bill."
Rowena went upstairs talking to herself, thinking about what reasons she would use to pull Leng Shuanghan to wear cosplay clothes next time.
"Squeak-bang!"
After opening the door, Leng Shuanghan directly placed Tang Yiling on the single bed in the spare bedroom, sat on the bedside and let out a long sigh of relief. "Phew, it seems that I am already familiar with this kind of incident."
Leng Shuanghan's light blue eyes were always staring at the white wall in the room; the feeling of the white light shining on the white wall was the same as the snowy scene outside the window.
"The black shadow has appeared. I think the 'story' in the future is not far away from [Resurgence]..." Leng Shuanghan opened the notes next to the pillow; looking at the white and wordless notebook, he couldn't help but sigh.
"Bo!"
Taking off the cap of the ballpoint pen, Leng Shuanghan wrote the word "black shadow" on the notebook in a beautiful handwriting; the beautiful and coherent handwriting was just like Leng Shuanghan's character, cold on the outside and soft on the inside.
The ballpoint pen brushed dots on the notebook, and the characteristics of the black shadow and the method of killing were re-recorded in the notebook.
After finishing writing, Leng Shuanghan did not stop writing, but wrote the word "Inspection" on the next page. "The next thing that will show up should be this dormitory inspection."
"Squeak-bang!"
"Lord Shuanghan, I'm back." After entering the door, Rowena bowed slightly towards Leng Shuanghan, showing respect for Leng Shuanghan in her words.
"Well, thank you for your hard work, Rowena." Looking at Rowena entering the door, Leng Shuanghan immediately showed joy, but thinking of Tang Yiling who was still in a coma, he got a headache again.
"Are you worried about your next plan?"
"Yes, but compared to the previous times, there has been some progress, isn't it..."
Looking at Tang Yiling who was still unconscious behind him, Leng Shuanghan thought that dragging him back was a very correct choice.
"At least when contacting several other people, it can reduce many unnecessary conflicts."
Speaking of this, Leng Shuanghan's originally light blue eyes were once again stained with white frost. "After all, we haven't found out yet whose body the 'rattle' is hidden in..."
"But we cannot rule out the possibility that it is hidden in the nightmare."
Hearing Rowena's voice, the frost in Leng Shuanghan's eyes gradually faded away, and then he exhaled a thick breath. "That's true, but if this is the case, the number of objects that need to be investigated will increase a lot."
"The primary goal now is to try to get out of the current predicament. After all, we can't stay trapped in this small apartment building."
"We have been trapped here for too long..." Not only her words, but also Rowena's face was covered with a layer of gloomy frost.
"It's getting late, Master Hanshuang, please rest early."
"Well, you too, Rowena."
Although the world in the dark seems long, time always flows much faster than the short day.
Without the disturbance of the black shadow, tonight is destined to be a restful and comfortable night.
"Uh...it feels like being hit by a hammer again." Tang Yiling sat up, her palms covering the half of her brain that was hurting by the pain.
Tang Yiling habitually looked for the backrest of the bed so that she could sit up with her upper body.
But when he moved his body, the single bed under him always gave him a strange feeling of comfort.
