A huge mountain that is unknown how high it is, completely shrouded in shadows.

In the forest path, five figures were struggling to escape, rapid breathing and suppressed crying mixed together, the moonlight falling from the sky was partially obscured by dark clouds, and the five people could only barely see the path a few meters ahead.

On either side were thick grasses, with various strange trees with rich branches but bare, and the cold wind howled like the roar of the devil.

The five people were two men and three women, a boy with black curly hair and glasses, a strong young man with blond hair, a girl with red curly hair, an older woman with short blond hair, and the eldest, a middle-aged woman wearing a teacher's uniform with brown hair coiled.

It seemed that because it was inconvenient to run, she took off her high heels and carried them in her hands, her white feet had been cut by gravel and thorns, and many small wounds had been cut, but her physical strength still ranked second among the five, second only to the strong young man.

Soon, the red-haired girl with the weakest physical strength, along with the boy with glasses, stumbled and fell to the ground in surprise, and the other three followed.

While the two of them went to help them, the middle-aged woman suddenly turned her head and asked:

"Maisie, how long is it going to be, we can't hold on. ”

As she asked, she saw a huge "beast" poking out its head silently in the shadows beside her.

It was a giant wolf with silvery-white hair that seemed to glow in the moonlight.

Its mighty and domineering head, a pair of eyes flashing with human colors, saw a few people stop, their eyes flashed with anxiety, and they said: "You can't rest, only by entering Match Street, can you be safe for the time being." ”

"It's just ahead, hold on a little longer......"

As the silver-white giant wolf spoke, his pupils emitted light, and the strong light fainted in the distance, but it was vaguely visible, and at the end of the path, at the exit of the forest, a street appeared extremely strangely.

The five of them even saw the blue stone paved road, the shops on both sides, and the exciting glass windows, which were the atmosphere of civilization.

Hope was in front of them, and the five people who were already tired and pale lifted their spirits, but soon, three terrifying roars suddenly came from behind them, followed by a black shadow larger than a giant wolf, smashing trees and other obstacles along the way, chasing after them.

In the faint moonlight, the five people could see clearly that it was a three-headed monster.

They seemed to be "pig-shaped monsters" that had been magnified many times, each carrying a kitchen knife, an axe, and a steel fork, and their eyes flashed with fierce light, condensed on the five people and the giant wolf, and the foul smell swept over them like a storm.

They, roaring:

"Maisie, you've kidnapped our prey again, and I'm going to tear you apart. ”

"Damn it, I can't forgive you this time. ”

"Our little boys, stop, the front is the territory of that monster, don't go in, you're going to die a miserable death. ”

Although the three-headed monster is also able to speak, and seems to be revealing something even more terrifying.

But at this time, the five simply did not have a second option.

They had a team of a dozen men, and they watched as the other companions were killed by the three-headed monster and thrown into a bloody place they called the "granary".

"Run!"

The middle-aged woman yelled directly.

Immediately, she burst out like a sprinter and headed for the brightly lit street.

The other four followed.

Despite their efforts, their speed could not be compared to that of the huge monster, and just as they were about to be overtaken, the silver-white giant wolf braked suddenly, and in his human eyes, he swept over the color of determination, and said to the five people: "I'll stop them, you guys hurry up and enter the match street, remember, it's midnight...... Don't buy matches. ”

As the words fell, it turned and pounced on the three-headed monster.

When the five of them rushed into the street one after another, feeling the smell of the lights, they immediately turned around, and then covered their mouths at the same time, tears uncontrollably falling down.

Not far away, at the end of the trail, three monsters were dismembering the giant wolf.

Its head, limbs, and torso have been completely separated, and the agility in its dazzling and domineering silver eyes is gradually disappearing.

What is touching is that from beginning to end, the giant wolf did not make any sound.

"Maisie......

Even the strongest middle-aged woman finally couldn't support it at this time, crouched down, tears dripping.

The dim light cut the street and the forest path into two worlds, and the three-headed monster was afraid of the street as the giant wolf said, and did not dare to offend the slightest bit, glared at the five people with hatred, and quickly left with the corpse of the giant wolf.

Grief swept over the five of them, and they were not killed by the three monsters called "Big Pig", "Little Pig", and "Little Pig" like the other companions, because of Maisie, who appeared in front of them when the graduation tour group of the five people strayed into this strange world, and took them to escape from the monsters.

Now, it's also killed.

Just when the five of them were confused and helpless, suddenly next to them, a shout came:

"Hey, you guys, do you want roast duck?"

The five people subconsciously turned their heads and saw a white fat man in a chef's uniform, lying on the windowsill on the first floor, staring at them.

Behind him, there are hanging roast ducks, golden oil dripping down, and the rich fragrance that makes people's appetite move wafts out.

Including the middle-aged woman, they all subconsciously "cooed" and swallowed their saliva.

Strange emotions replaced the sadness in the depths of their hearts.

The ghost sent the gods, and the woman at the head asked, "How much is one?"

The fat man seemed to be waiting, and immediately replied: "Here, only exchange is accepted." ”

After speaking, the corners of his mouth hooked up a weird smile, and his mouth opened, revealing withered yellow and blackened teeth and sticky saliva.

His gaze, as if selecting goods, wandered back and forth among the five, and finally landed on the strong blond youth, who slowly added in a hoarse, greedy voice: "One person, for a roast duck, the whole street, I have the cheapest here." ”

As if in response to him, the sound of the windows being opened one after another, the heads of fat men poked out, and at the same time stared at them strangely, and the aroma of roast duck became even stronger.

Rumble!

The heads of the five people seemed to have been beaten hard by a sledgehammer at this time, the terrifying whispers were echoing, the creepy breath was growing wildly, the hair stood upside down, and the body froze in place, like a sculpture, not daring to move.

The middle-aged woman at the head mustered up her courage and stiffened her head to look at the end of the street, trying to see a way out.

But in her eyes, she only saw one "roast duck restaurant" after another, and the darkness was sweeping in from afar.

Dangdang!

Extremely abruptly, the melodious bell rang.

In the eyes of the five people, those terrible "roast duck shop owners" all showed frightened looks, and retracted their bodies back into the store with a stream of urine, and the sound of bangbang bang was endless.

The reassuring lights began to go out one after another.

Infinite darkness descended almost instantaneously.

"Midnight~ It's here?"

Among the five, the young man with curly hair and glasses trembled.

Without his reminder, several people gathered one after another, and unprecedented fear began to occupy their hearts.

In the darkness, the cold wind, like the silk of spiders, wrapped around them, along the cracks in their necks, spreading throughout their bodies. The snow began to fall, and the coldness of each melt made their hearts beat a little slower.

In what should have been a dark perspective, they suddenly saw that in the darkness of nothingness, there were shadows, they had strange bodies, they pierced through some kind of barrier, and low murmurs came out, sticky, rotten tentacles, huge ethereal palms, spreading towards them.

A frenzied, chaotic impulse, forming a tidal wave, began to pound on their souls.

All five people realized that if this continues, they will become crazy?

It was at this time that a strange, somewhat viscous voice came from the front.

"Like~ like the sound of barefoot, stamping in sewage?"

In the hearts of the five people, this thought just came to mind.

Poof!

Without warning, the fire lit up, and a match appeared in front of the five men, and with the help of the brilliant burst of light, the five saw a little girl, wearing a patched cloth dress, with dazzling blonde hair, and a lovely and beautiful little face.

She had a lot of matches in her apron pocket and a handful in her hand.

The girl was barefoot, trampling in the icy sewage, looking at the five with a pair of dark blue, pure eyes, and with a hint of pleading in her tone, she asked, "Ma'am, do you want to buy matches?"

The middle-aged woman who was questioned quickly noticed that as the light of the match appeared, those terrible shadows faded in an instant.

An impulse to buy, rising out.

But just as she was about to speak, Maisie's last reminder came to mind.

The horror of horror once again occupied her mind.

She didn't even dare to answer, just shook her head frantically.

The girl's face immediately showed a heartbreaking look of disappointment, and with a glimmer of hope, she looked at the strong young man and asked, "Sir, do you want to buy matches?"

The young man, who had already received the hint, shook his head quickly.

The other three followed.

The five of them refused one after another, and the loss emanating from the little girl's body made them feel guilty in their hearts, gnawing at their hearts like poisonous snakes.

The middle-aged woman who was the first of them to refuse, looked at the blackened snowflakes that fell on the girl's long blonde hair, and the extremely strong motherhood occupied her body, she blurted out irrepressibly and asked, "I buy ......"

Call!

The first match in the girl's hand was extinguished.

When the last bit of light faded, a rotten, hideous face was reflected in their eyes.

All five of them froze in place.

Unprecedented horror and horror are about to freeze their souls.

Poof!

The sound of the match striking, when the brilliant light reappeared, the four of them saw the middle-aged woman standing beside them, their English teacher, Martha, she was burning, like a human-shaped candle, and the yellow-white wax oil flowed down with the burning.

Her body trembled, but she couldn't move, and in her eyes there was indescribable fear.

Martha, still alive.

"Save ...... Help me!"

The difficult call for help caused the wax to trickle into her mouth.

In an instant, she couldn't speak anymore.

The wax oil that gradually solidified glued her mouth together.

Screaming and wailing, several people had already tried when they had just come into this world, but at this time, the four of them still couldn't stop their instincts, and they were extremely terrible, and the screams filled with infinite fear resounded through this dark street.

When Martha burns, it releases warmth and a certain aroma that keeps the four of them warm in the snowy night.

But their minds were occupied by intense fear, and all four of them wanted to flee immediately, but their legs seemed to be fixed in place, and they could not do anything but tremble.

And at this time, in front of Martha.

The lovely, beautiful little girl turned her head again, looked at the four of them, as if following the previous order, and asked the strong young man, "Sir, do you want to buy matches?"

Young man, his soul has been completely overwhelmed by fear.

He covered his mouth so hard that the intense pressure made his gums start to bleed, and he mustered all his courage and shook his head slowly.

The little girl moved on to the next one.

Just as she was about to spit out her question, at this abrupt moment, a void door opened.

In the black whirlpool, a figure walked out, dressed loosely and comfortably, carrying a box of herbs, with a delicate appearance and a temperament that made people feel good.

A wandering pharmacist?

The four of them were stunned at first.

Then there was a look of hope in his eyes, at this time, no matter who it was, as long as he could save them.

Tang Qi, who had just appeared, looked at the picture in front of him, and pieces of information exploded in his mind one after another, and his eyes immediately narrowed slightly.

At this time, the little girl suddenly skipped the four of them and walked in front of Tang Qi.

An innocent and cute little face, through the brilliance released by the burning of "Martha", was reflected in Tang Qi's eyes.

She took out a match, handed it over, and asked pleadingly, "Sir, do you want to buy a match?"

Tang Qi looked at the little girl in front of him, who made people feel pity, listening to the crisp pleading, compared with the special picture that appeared in his mind, the terrible malice that was so strong that he couldn't wait to entangle it, his expression became weird.

He tilted his head, reached into the medicine box, ignored the crazy hints of the other four, and seemed to be withdrawing money, while smiling gently at the little girl, and said, "Not only will I buy it, but also, your matches...... I've got it all. ”

"Roar!"

Accompanied by Tang Qi's voice, the evil dragon roared, firing infinitely.

Bang! Bang!

The golden bullets, made entirely of the magic of the furnace, rained down on the little girl like a torrential rain.

A sharp, humanly distinct wail came from the little girl's mouth, but it didn't take long for her entire head to be shattered.

is like a delicate rag doll, which has been treated inhumanely, and has been bombed into thousands of holes in an instant, as if it will soon be bombarded into minced meat and crumbs.

But in Tang Qi's eyes, the fragments of information that should have never surfaced.

On the contrary, a more intense and terrible malice than before, almost condensed into substance, and wrapped around him.

At the end of the street, in the deepest part of the darkness, a low roar that makes the soul tremble, one after another, like an army of monsters about to move, is charging towards them.

This time there is no need for the burning "Martha", the dazzling fire, scorching the darkness, so that several people can see clearly.

At the end of this strange street, called "Match Street", there is indeed an army, an army of "candle men" who are running slowly.
