Chapter 385: Waiting
"It's completely gone. ”
Returning to the humble home with a group of men, ignoring the gazes of the rest of the group, Adil stepped forward and groped around, as if searching for something.
He was silent, just flipping around, so that Corral on the side couldn't help but speak: "What are you looking for?"
Now, after seeing Adil's power, only he and Tilly can talk to Adil like this.
After all, they are relatives of this body, and they have been together day and night for the past ten years, and that sense of familiarity and closeness cannot be erased no matter what, even if Adil looks a little strange at this time, but it will not make them feel afraid.
"Statue. ”
Adil spoke quietly, his face looking a little gloomy: "The statue is gone." ”
"What statue?" Corral was stunned for a moment, then seemed to suddenly remember something, "Is it the statue I brought back that day?"
He looked a little confused, not understanding what the ordinary statue was looking for.
"That's no ordinary statue. As if to see through his thoughts, Adil continued: "Something came the night you brought this statue back. ”
When the words fell, wisps of spiritual power volatilized in place, instantly forming a picture in everyone's minds.
Simple, old streets, dark night shrouded everything.
Outside a seemingly old house, a humanoid monster more than three meters tall stood quietly in front of the door, a pair of scarlet eyes staring into the house, and the malice in it seemed to engulf all living beings in the world.
And on the balcony of the house, a thin boy stood quietly, his silver eyes staring at each other.
Rumble!
The next moment, the scene in my mind shattered, and the picture of mental power backtracking came to an end.
"Damn!!" At this moment, the faces of Colar and Tilly changed greatly, and a sense of horror and fear involuntarily appeared in their hearts.
A short time ago, they had just experienced a thrilling curse event, but they didn't expect that in their own home, without their knowledge, another curse had also erupted.
It is conceivable that that night, if it weren't for Adier's presence, their family would definitely not be pleased.
"Where's the statue?"
Thinking of the scene that night, Corlar couldn't help but shudder, and looked at Tilly beside him and asked loudly.
In this family, Corral is usually busy with various dangerous tasks, and Sim is still young, so all kinds of chores in the family naturally fall on Tilly.
If anyone is most likely to know where the statue is, it's her.
"No, I don't know. In the face of Corral's inquiry, Tilly's face was pale, and she looked a little panicked at this time, and quickly waved her hand: "I haven't touched the statue." ”
"This morning, the statue was still on the table. ”
"Find. At this time, Colar seemed very decisive, and immediately pulled his daughter beside him, and prepared to go upstairs to look for it.
"No need to look for it. Beside him, Adiel's voice rang out.
He walked out of the corner and looked at Kolar in front of him, his face a little gloomy: "The statue is not in the house, maybe it was stolen before." ”
This is also a possibility.
Nearby is the slum, and there are a lot of thieves around.
When Adil and the others left, it was normal for the statue to be taken away if there were really thieves who visited.
"But tonight, we have to be careful. ”
Gently raising his head and looking through the window at the gradually dull sky outside, Adil muttered to himself.
It was already dark at this time, and the surrounding light was gradually dissipating.
When the last bit of light from the outside world faded, a blood-colored moon began to reveal from the sky.
"You can't be wrong, that statue... It's the Nightmare Statue. ”
At night, on a large bed that is not very comfortable, Delisa and Tilly sleep together, thinking about their hearts.
She also saw the picture of Adil using her spiritual power to go back before, and she was deeply impressed by the statue and the appearance of the monster, reminiscent of a legend she had heard.
"The Nightmare Statue, one of the three most terrifying and eerie curses that legend has it to have been brought out of the Nightmare Manor hundreds of years ago. Lying quietly on the bed, thinking about the legend of this object in her mind, Delissa felt chills all over her body: "Anyone who has seen the Nightmare Statue will eventually sink in the nightmare, swallowed up by the evil spirit into darkness. ”
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but gently turn sideways and look at the person beside her.
Beside her, Tilly was dressed in loose pajamas, her bumpy figure could not be covered at all, her eyes were closed at this time, and she seemed to be sleeping soundly, without any awareness of being in terror.
"What a lucky man. ”
Looking at Tilly's peaceful sleep, Dai Lisa couldn't help but shake her head and smile bitterly: "There is a top awakened person as a younger brother, even if you are involved in a curse, you will have someone to carry it for you, and you don't need to bear that pain and despair at all." ”
She thought of her painful experience for more than ten years, and her heart became more and more sad.
"Father, you still don't sleep?"
Standing quietly on the balcony, looking at the figure of the man who appeared behind him, Adil was a little surprised.
On the balcony, Corral was dressed in a gray uniform, holding an old-fashioned pistol in his hand, and his face looked very grim, without the slightest intention of sleeping: "That thing will come tonight, won't it?"
After a moment of silence, Adil nodded silently, not choosing to deny it.
Although he didn't say it explicitly, his previous arrangement was not disguised, including letting everyone go to sleep, but he stood on the balcony and waited, which was enough to make people perceive something.
"Since I'm coming, it makes no difference whether I do anything. Corral waved his hand: "I know that thing is not something that ordinary people can deal with, but let me watch you fight this thing alone, I still can't do it." ”
"I'm here, and if you can't stop that, you're going to die no matter what. ”
"In that case, let me watch here. ”
He moved a chair and sat down here, his face was grim, and he said a lot in one breath.
Adil is not surprised by Kolar's attitude.
In Sim's past memories, Corral has always been such a person, with a tough and strong personality, and never backs down because of fear.
It is not very likely that such a person, in the current situation, will let him lie honestly in bed.
In this way, the two of them sat together on the balcony of the old house, while sitting, occasionally chatting about the past.
And while waiting like this, new changes began to appear on the streets in the distance.
