Varna City, South Gate. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
"The devil is coming! Run! If you don't run, you'll be eaten by the devil! Cries of terror came and went in the crowd, and the streets were filled with panicked crowds rushing towards the city gates, and everyone's face was full of fear, and they pushed forward with all their might, just so that they could get out of the city faster.
Ironically, most of them had not even seen the legendary devil before they were terrified by it.
A few clever and daring thieves quietly stayed in the city, sneaking into the houses that had not been locked because their owners had fled in a hurry, and made a small windfall.
A five-year-old girl was pushed out of the crowd and fell straight to the ground. The girl's originally cute and white little face was covered with dust everywhere at the moment, and the yellow floral cloth skirt on her body was also dirty, and a pair of beautiful blue eyes were instantly filled with tears, and she cried loudly: "Dad! ”
Many tall figures ran quickly past the little girl, and the dust spread around the little girl, making her cough violently. There were countless panicked voices in her ears, but the only one missing was the one she wanted to hear the most.
"Daddy!" The girl cried even louder, tears streaming across her young face and dripping onto the ground beneath her feet.
A pair of big hands suddenly picked up the little girl from the ground, and firmly wrapped her in her arms, the girl was startled at first, and then broke into laughter, hugged each other tightly with her backhand, and shouted happily: "Dad!" ”
"Baby, I've found you!" The girl's father showed a relieved look and gently tightened his arm: "Don't break away from Dad's hand casually in the future, you know?" ”
"Got it, Dad." The girl replied loudly, and then rested her head on her father's shoulder, a look of relief on her little face.
"Alright, let's go, or we'll be overtaken by the devil from hell!" The girl's father hugged the girl and once again merged into the flow of people on the street.
"Dad, what's the devil?" The girl asked her father, who was running briskly.
The little girl did not get a response from her father, as if it was because the noise around her was disturbing the father's hearing, or because something else was not paying the father's attention to his daughter.
There was a disappointed expression on the girl's face, but she was quickly relieved, as long as her father was here, no matter how terrifying the devil was, she would definitely not be able to hurt herself.
In the eyes of a five-year-old girl, the word father stands for omnipotence.
"Daddy!" The little girl suddenly screamed again, stretched out her little finger and pointed to the sky behind her: "Daddy, look, there's a big red bird there!" ”
The girl's father slowed down slightly and glanced back.
The next moment, the face that appeared in front of the girl again was already full of fear, and the girl's father even became hoarse: "That's the devil's pet!" Look no further at it, baby, or the devil will find us! ”
The girl's father suddenly ran at a much faster speed.
A dense blood-colored raindrop suddenly fell from the sky, and everyone who didn't have time to dodge in the future poured their heads and faces.
"Daddy, it's raining!" The raindrops also fell on the girl, and the little girl raised her head from her father's shoulder and sent a reminder to her own father.
This time, the girl's dad responded.
"It's okay kid, it's just a drop of rain, and it's gone quickly." The panting father comforted the girl as he ran hard with the girl in his arms: "We are about to leave the city, and when we get out of this gate, we will be safe then." ”
"Oh." The little girl nodded a little ignorantly, although she didn't know why her father said that she would be safe after leaving the city, but in the little girl's heart, her father's words were always right.
But the girl soon made a new discovery: "Dad, the rain just now turned out to be red, it looks so good, much better than the previous rain!" ”
It was at this time that the father and daughter finally followed the crowd and escaped through the south gate of Varna.
In fact, the word "escape" seems to be used here always a little reluctantly, there is a chase before escape, if no one is chasing you at all, then where does the word escape begin?
This is the sadness of having no power, when a Sacred Realm powerhouse knows that there is a devil in the city, his first reaction is of course to go to this devil for trouble. But when an unarmed civilian learned the news, whether it was true or not, he knew that he would flee with his precious daughter, because he didn't dare to risk his own and his daughter's lives, and the news of the devil was nothing more than a rumor.
For this father, the wrong bet is tantamount to death.
So he can't bet because he doesn't have chips at all.
This chip, its name is - power.
People who don't have chips don't even have the qualifications to play at the table.
After leaving the city gate, the somewhat suffocating tension in the air suddenly decreased a lot, and the fear and panic on everyone's faces were also reduced a lot, plus there was no more terrible news behind them, so the speed of the people outside the city gate suddenly slowed down, and people everywhere could be seen walking slowly on the road outside the city, and some people even simply found a place to sit down, intending to rest for a while.
"Okay kid, let's go down and walk with Dad for a while." The little girl's father also became a little more relaxed, put the little girl down, and took her little hand.
"By the way, baby, what did you just say about the red rain?" The little girl's father remembered what his daughter had just said.
"Yes," said the little girl, raising her cute little face, "a burst of red rain!" ”
"Red rain?" The girl's father frowned and thought for a moment, the expression on his face a little suspicious: "Are you sure you're not mistaken, baby?" ”
In such a hurry and panic that the father even forgot that a red raindrop had fallen on him and his daughter.
"Really, Dad!" The little girl pouted angrily.
"Oh?" The girl's father rolled his eyes, and a smile immediately appeared on his face: "That's supposed to be Daddy's mistake, but don't worry baby, it's just an ordinary light rain." ”
"Oh." The little girl nodded in disbelief, and suddenly said to her father, "Dad, why are your eyes so red?" ”
"Red?" The little girl's father was slightly stunned, and then smiled at his baby daughter: "Maybe Dad is too tired." ”
"It's not like that, Daddy." The little girl shook her head firmly and said to her father, "It's really red, Dad." ”
A terrifying streak of blood had taken over the father's entire pupil at some point, and then began to spread to every corner of his body.
