"Knock knock, knock knock, knock knock......"

The lonely moon was shrouded in black clouds.

In the middle of the night, the door of an inn called the Ako Hotel kept ringing.

In the thick of the night, the streets were dead silent.

There were no pedestrians or vehicles in sight, all the shops were closed, and there was not even a single light in sight.

"Knock knock, knock knock, knock knock......"

The door of the hotel was still ringing, and there was a lot of movement, but the hotel seemed to be empty, and no one came to inspect it.

It wasn't until more than ten minutes later that the faint candlelight appeared on the stairs.

The innkeeper, apparently awakened by the knock on the door, took a candle and carefully held on to the handrail and walked down the old steps, almost slipping and falling because of his restlessness.

At his age, if he did roll down the stairs, it would be difficult for him to get back up.

The candlelight in his hand shook violently.

After stabilizing his figure, the innkeeper stopped on the steps in shock, his breath was short, and he couldn't care about the wax dripping on his hands, and his anxious and fearful eyes immediately looked towards the hotel door again.

But his old eyes were dizzy, and when he heard the movement downstairs, he was too nervous to get up and forgot to look for reading glasses for a while, coupled with the dim light, he couldn't see who was standing outside the door at all, and he wasn't even sure if it was a person, only a hazy black shadow.

The continuous bizarre deaths of the townspeople have caused a dense cloud to fill the sky over the town of Florence, and people have long been in a panic and have become frightened birds, no one dares to go out at will, let alone in the middle of the night, in this case, there is something knocking on the door in the middle of the night, how can the boss not be afraid?

Fortunately, Li Futu, who had returned from the Black Forest, saw the faint light of the 'dying' in the dark inn, and shouted in time.

"Boss, it's me. ”

The boss was stunned.

Although he is old, he is not demented, and although his memory is not as good as that of a young man, it is not so bad that he can forget it.

As the only guest staying in the past half a month, he still remembers Li Futu's voice to some extent.

The fear dissipated instantly, and he quickly went downstairs and opened the door for Li Futu with a candle.

"You...... How did you come back?"

The boss was very surprised by Li Futu's return and return.

He expected to spend the night in the wilderness and in a place like the Black Forest of Etroit, and he would definitely die.

"I drove back. ”

Li Futu avoided the important and said a very cold joke.

"Sorry to disturb your rest. ”

"You didn't go to the Black Forest in Etro?"

After closing the door, the innkeeper still stared at him in disbelief.

Li Futu nodded, then shook his head again, and explained lightly: "I went, but I saw the warning signs there, so I didn't go in, I just walked around the forest, I have to say, it is indeed gloomy enough." ”

Undoubtedly, he clearly lied,

Not only did he step into the forbidden area, but he also went deep into the hinterland, and even witnessed a tragic interracial war, but he did not choose to tell the truth to his boss.

Even though he had now figured out the true cause of Florentine's curse, telling his boss the truth would not relieve him of his fear.

Say that so many people in your town died for no reason, and it was a group of vampires who were doing it?

For ordinary people, this explanation is probably not much better than maintaining the status quo.

"You really are...... Lucky enough. ”

The boss did not doubt Li Futu's statement, and regarded his miraculous survival as a blessing of luck.

"Don't take this kind of risk again in the future, if you really encounter anything, it's too late to regret it, after all, you only have one life. ”

After the reminder, the boss turned around with a candle.

"Let's go back to our room and rest. ”

Back in the room, Li Futu did not sleep peacefully, lit a candle, stood by the window, looked at the empty and dead street, and everything he had just seen in the Black Forest flashed in his mind again.

Indeed, in the situation just now, if he made a move, Li Haotian would definitely be in trouble.

It's not that he hasn't thought about it.

But in the end, he gave up that opportunity.

It is not difficult to kill a Li Haotian, even if the other party has now mixed up with the position of the deputy director of the heresy ruling office, even if the other party has now become a member of the heavenly list.

In that situation just now, as long as he made a move, he basically didn't need to spend too much effort, and Li Haotian, who was devoting himself to the fierce battle with the Marquis of the Blood Clan, would definitely not be able to make much resistance.

But.

People do something, they don't do something.

Li Haotian is fighting with the Blood Clan, and he is asking for the lives of more than a thousand souls who died tragically in the hands of the Blood Clan, even if his starting point may not be so great, just to maintain the majesty of the Temple, but it is undeniable that in the kind of war just now, he is fighting against the brutal alien race from the standpoint of a human being.

At that time, he could have died, but he shouldn't have died at the hands of a human.

Even if it wasn't himself who was present at the time, but anyone else in the underworld, Li Futu believed that no matter who it was, he would definitely make the same choice as him.

The candlelight flickered in the room.

Li Futu looked upwards in the direction of the Black Forest in Etro.

More than an hour has passed since I came back, and the battle there should have long been over.

I wonder if there are twenty-one more souls wandering in Florence Town?

In the situation he had just left, the Bloods were strong and ready to fight, and as long as there were no major surprises, the Inquisition was destined to pay a terrible price for their rash advances.

"There is a lot of suffering in the world, why envy eternal life. ”

Li Futu whispered silently.

He really didn't expect that the Li family, who had been angry and angry, would have such an awareness.

At that time, he was in that kind of dangerous situation, and he really hoped that the other party would not be able to bear the fear of death and be successfully 'recruited' by the blood clan.

The cute and decent characters in the TV series generally have the idea of revenge that the enemy cannot die at the hands of others, but only at his own hands, and Li Futu naturally does not have such a ridiculous idea.

If the Bloods could annihilate the Inquisition force, it would save him a little effort.

He should have stayed to witness the end.

Looking back now, Li Futu doesn't know why he chose to leave in advance at that time.

No matter how strong his strength is, he naturally doesn't have clairvoyance to follow the wind, and standing here, he can't know the scene in the hinterland of the Black Forest at this time.

After standing by the window for a while, Li Futu turned around and disappeared into the window.

It didn't take long for the candlelight to go out.

Darkness engulfs the whole world.
