Chapter 81: Calm

Marin swears that this hill has really moved.

He saw it with his own eyes.

But he couldn't accept it.

Even Madame Tina saw it, but her gaze seemed to be drawn to the dazzling and seductive jewels, as if she had not noticed the momentary trembling.

"Lady Tina......"

Just as Marin spoke, the hill moved again.

The action was so violent that even Lady Tina couldn't help but react and screamed.

The hill turned.

On a hill of countless gold, silver and jewels, there is a human face.

It's like it's embedded in it.

No, maybe not a human face.

It should be a human face with the facial features of a mouse.

The pointed mouth is connected to the nose, the round red eyes, and the fangs that come out of the corners of the mouth, all of which are covered with disgusting black fluff.

It's as if rats and humans are stitched together.

Marlin and Lady Tina stared blankly.

Their bodies froze involuntarily, obviously there was no external force, but they couldn't move at all.

The candle fell to the ground, barely giving a faint glow.

The main reason may be that their brains have stopped moving.

In the face of such a bizarre and terrifying situation, any normal human being would be so frightened that they lost the ability to think.

Bloodshot eyes looked at the two of them, and saliva kept flowing from the corners of their black mouths that couldn't be closed.

The strange thing is that even if those red eyes look extremely scary, you can feel an inexplicable emotion from them.

It's love.

"Tina. ”

The monster's mouth opened, and a familiar voice reached the ears of the two of them.

The sound made the two people react directly from the shock.

They fell limply to the ground, their eyes full of horror.

If they heard it right, the monster's voice was Count Elliot?

Seeing Marin and Lady Tina keep propping their hands back, as if trying to escape from here, the monster didn't seem to care.

"I've been suspicious of you for a long time, but because of that damn Baker, I haven't had a chance to investigate. ”

The monster muttered to itself, pitch-black saliva falling to the ground with a disgusting stench.

"Being trapped in the basement for so long has made me extremely sensitive to everything here, and you think you can hide it from me by suppressing your voice?"

The gaze of those eyes kept following Lady Tina as she crawled backwards, and the blood in them grew thicker and thicker.

"Huh. ”

Suddenly, a cold wind blew through, blowing out the candles on the ground.

For a moment, the surroundings were plunged into darkness where you couldn't see your fingers.

"Run!"

In the darkness, Marin's exclamation was heard.

Because both Marin and Lady Tina heard a strange sound coming from the direction of the monster before.

It's like the sticky sound of an object being glued to the ground and then violently torn apart, which is creepy.

According to his memory, and his young and powerful body, Marin forced himself to overcome the fear in his heart, and reluctantly struggled to get up from the ground and run.

Although there was no light in the surroundings, Marin actually approached the wooden door.

His white hands kept groping for the wood in front of him, trying to find the doorknob.

But at this moment, in the boundless darkness behind him, there was suddenly the scream of Lady Tina.

The voice was so terrible that Marin's legs, which had managed to stand up, almost weakened again.

Look back in the direction the voice came from.

It was pitch black.

A strange feeling suddenly appeared in Marin's heart.

It seems that as long as you keep watching, you can't help but plunge into the darkness.

I don't know why, something that has been hidden in Marin's heart seems to have awakened.

It was as if he had become a part of the darkness.

Just as Marin's eyes were foggy, and he was about to take the first step into the darkness, the sound of glue suddenly sounded again.

The moment the voice sounded, Marin's body trembled, and he subconsciously touched the door, only to touch the doorknob.

"Squeak"

The faint candlelight lit up Marlin as the wooden door opened.

Even if it is faint, it is like holy light to Marin, who has not seen the light for a long time.

He slammed the wooden door shut, and crawled up the stairs.

Marin is going to escape.

He's going to find the magician from yesterday.

There's a monster in the basement, there's a monster in the basement!

Hot tears and snot are just starting to roll down now.

It's just a flight of stairs, but in Marin's eyes, it's so long.

When Marin gasped and reached the staircase on the first floor, there was no sound from the wooden door of the basement behind him.

However, his hand only touched the doorknob, and his body involuntarily softened.

Marin lowered his head.

Only then did he find out.

I don't know when my body is covered with blood holes.

The blood flowed like an infusion.

Marin, however, had no strength to stand up again.

Until he was dying, his eyes were not closed.

The entire mansion fell into a deathly silence again.

Only in the depths of the basement, from time to time there was the sound of a roar of people and ghosts.

The roar felt like the screams of a rat, but if you listened closely, it looked like a man's painful wail.

"You can go back tonight. ”

Alan was still in his old seat, silently observing the people with numb expressions on their faces, but a figure sat beside him and whispered.

"So fast, but I didn't even see the shadow of a monster. ”

Somewhat surprised, Alan turned his head to look at the black figure.

deliberately sat some distance away from Allen, even if the cloak was wide, but you could vaguely see the heart-pounding fiery figure.

"It's not uncommon that a magical riot doesn't necessarily breed monsters, but we have to be prepared in advance, because in a large populated city, the slightest commotion can cause huge casualties. ”

The cloak obscured Mia's pretty face, making it impossible to see what kind of expression she was.

"Then I'll take the commission tomorrow?"

"Let's talk about it. ”

Mia got up and walked towards the street next to her.

Allen's gaze followed her back, then to the people who passed by.

They were still expressionless, as if what happened around them would not affect them.

It may only be when faced with a threat to their lives that they make an effort and scream.

Was this what people in the Middle Ages looked like?

Alan sat silently like this, waiting for the evening to come.

With the imprint of the magic seal, it should be impossible for Potter to disobey his orders.

For this kind of waste ordinary people, Alan really has no interest in observing all day long.

In fact, Alan still regretted using the seal on Potter a little.

However, it is estimated that people who are truly willing to surrender to others are extremely rare, and Alan doesn't care too much.

As night fell, Alan felt that the magic around him was no longer as active as before.

He got up and walked towards his lodgings.
