Chapter 53: The Ugly Man

"Anna!"

"Anna!"

Alan jumped off the roof and ran briskly to the bakery.

It was a mess inside, just like it had been when he had left.

"I'm ......"

Anna crawled out of a corner cupboard.

Her eyes are still so clean, people can't help but have a feeling of wanting to protect.

"Are you alright...... It's so nice......"

Alan opened his arms and was about to hug her, but after thinking about it, it seemed that something was wrong, and he just wanted to retract his hand, but he didn't expect Anna to take the initiative to hug her.

"Are those monsters solved?"

Burying her head in Alan's arms, ignoring the filth on his body, Anna asked softly.

"No, something unexpected ......"

Xiangyu was full of arms, Allen's face involuntarily turned red, and his breathing couldn't help but start to be short.

Fortunately, he did not forget that the danger had not been eliminated, and quickly pushed Anna away, grabbed her hand, and walked briskly towards the outside of the bakery.

"We have to leave now. ”

Anna gripped Allen's hand tightly, feeling a tongue licking at her palm, and two fiery clouds popped out of her face.

"The one in your palm...... What is it?"

"It's a symbol of the magician, called the devil's mouth. ”

Anna nodded plausibly.

As soon as the two of them walked out of the store, Old Oak jumped from the roof, his chest rising and falling, obviously tired.

Seeing Anna behind Allen, Old Oak frowned, but didn't say anything.

After taking a few breaths, he pointed in the direction of the front gate of Greystone.

"Let's go to the front gate. ”

Alan was a little puzzled, but after thinking about it, he understood.

The three-star monster left through the back gate, and once they walked through the back gate, there was a good chance that they would encounter that monster.

As long as you walk through the front gate, wait in the wild for a day, and then turn back to Greystone, the possibility of encountering that monster will be greatly reduced.

"That's it?"

Mia fell from the roof, looked at the hands held by Alan and Anna, and said coldly.

"Just for an ordinary woman, you don't hesitate to put us all in danger, you are really infatuated......"

Leaning against the wall, Mia raised an eyebrow, her words full of contempt.

"That's enough, Mia, now isn't the time to quarrel about this, we'll go now. ”

Old Oak left the sentence behind and turned and went up to the roof.

Mia stared at Anna for a moment before she snorted coldly and followed Old Oak.

"Am I giving it to you...... Sorry for the trouble......"

Anna looked up at Allen, who was covered in blood and looked exhausted, and said timidly.

"Say what. ”

Alan turned his head and looked at the little girl's pretty face, and couldn't help but touch it.

"I'm holding you, it might be a little bumpy. ”

As soon as the words fell, Alan actually hugged Anna directly in his arms.

With Anna's exclamation, Alan jumped and went up to the roof of the house.

The main reason why they walked on the roof was because there were still a few goblins wandering on the street, and in addition, walking through the roof was equivalent to walking in a straight line, much faster than walking from the street.

"That monster should be Baron Angelo. ”

It didn't take long for Alan to catch up with Old Oak and say beside him.

"It should be ......"

Before Old Oak could finish speaking, scarlet blood suddenly overflowed from the corners of his mouth.

"Are you alright?"

"It's okay...... The sequelae, it will be fine after a while. ”

The conversation between the two drew a turn from Mia, who was ahead.

She looked at the corners of Old Oak's bleeding mouth, frowned, didn't say anything, kicked her feet, and flew towards the roof not far away.

Just as the four of them approached the front gate, Allen's heart suddenly began to pound.

"Your right hand...... In the ...... of shaking"

Anna looked up and looked at Alan's face, her brow full of worry.

Alan lowered his head, a smile squeezing out of the corners of his mouth, "It's okay." ”

"Out of the city gates...... We'll be safe. ”

His right hand trembled.

Alan panicked.

It was the first time since the crossing that he felt so uneasy.

"Old Oak ......"

Without slowing down for half a minute, Alan turned his head to look at Old Oak.

"Do you feel it too?"

Old Oak turned his head, almost startling Allen.

Old Oak, who originally looked like he was fifty or sixty years old, has now become eighty or ninety years old.

Wrinkles spread all over the face, and the eye sockets were deeply sunken, revealing two huge bulging eyes.

When I opened my mouth, I couldn't see a few teeth in my mouth.

"You ......"

Alan's heart was beating faster.

All this, what the hell is going on!

Mia also turned her head, and when she saw the appearance of old Oak, she frowned.

"Alan, stay away from him!"

"I ...... It's okay......"

Old Oak opened his mouth, and a stream of scarlet blood poured out of his mouth.

No, the blood isn't scarlet anymore.

Their color is getting darker.

It's close to black.

Alan held Anna in one hand, and involuntarily reached into the sacrificial bag in his arms with the other.

There was nothing inside, except for the white mask that he had received from the woman.

Eren had no choice but to take the mask out, his right hand grappling tightly at the cold, cracked edge of the mask.

"Alan, what's the matter...... What's going on......"

Anna hugged Alan tightly with both hands, and even breathing became difficult as she watched Old Oak's increasingly strange appearance.

"Don't be afraid, there's me. ”

Alan sped up and came to Mia's side.

The four of them had already arrived at the city gate.

"Old Oak, don't come again. ”

Alan stood at the gate of the city, looked at the old Oak who came from behind, and shouted coldly.

Old Oak stood on the ground strewn with corpses and stumps, one hand on his chest, bent over his body, looking exactly like the old man who was about to sink into the earth.

Hearing Alan's voice, he stopped and barely raised his head.

Blood had turned black and dripped from his shrunken jaw.

That's the color of desire.

It was the blood of the monsters.

"Ugly man, I should have thought of it. ”

Mia stood in place, her eyes locked tightly on Old Oak, neither on her face nor in her words, there was not a trace of emotion.

Ugly?

Alan was puzzled, but he didn't say anything.

Old Oak opened his mouth, as if to say something, but more black blood poured out of his mouth.

Under his feet, there was already a pool of black blood.

Old Oak knelt down.

With his head down, his body twitched incessantly.

"Sacrifice me. ”

His voice was crystal clear.

Mia didn't say anything and stepped forward, the red light on her right arm flickering incessantly.

Alan's heart was beating wildly.

The mouth of the right arm is motionless, but the magic in it is rioting.

"Alan!

Frante's anxious voice came out of Alan's head.

Wrong!

The threat I feel doesn't come from Old Oak!

Allen's gaze snapped into the distance.

His eyes froze.

Is that...... The direction of the back gate!
