Chapter 1954: Caught in the Lake (23)

Click, click, click. The sound of heavy footsteps approached, the crash of walking barefoot on the concrete, and the sound of heavy knives dragging the ground. Daniel knew that if he walked out of the living room like this, he would meet the monster head-on, so he ran into another room of the house, leaning against the door and hiding!

He was very careful, and he was confident that such a stealth would not make a noise that would be audible to the other party. He guessed that the sheep-headed demon would enter the room he had just broken through the window to check the situation, and this was the perfect time for Daniel to get rid of the other party------ if his stealth really worked!

He hid behind the door with bated breath, listening to the footsteps getting closer. He knew very well that if the stealth was detected, the sheep-headed demon would not have entered the room where the window had been broken, but towards another room where Daniel was, and Daniel would have illuminated the monster and would surely die! Daniel peeked out of the door to see the sheep-headed demon slowly moving into the room!

One step, two steps, three steps. Once it is fully inside, it may find the room empty, and then it will immediately turn around and look for Daniel in other rooms. It stands to reason that Daniel should have slipped out at this moment and ran in the direction of the living room. But he also knew that the distance between himself and the sheep-headed demon was very close, and even the slightest sound at this distance would be very fatal, and it would instantly expose Daniel's stealth!

Four steps, five steps. The sheep-headed demon moved far enough, and if it was farther away, it would have to look at the entire room on the other side, and then turn its head and continue to search for other rooms! Although his heart was full of fear, Daniel did not hesitate for a moment, he squatted and sneaked out, almost crawling out of the door of the room, and around the living room! The black iron knight boy managed to sneak a short distance, and immediately crouched down in front of the corridor between the living room and the bedroom!

The monster didn't follow right away, it couldn't hear Daniel's voice. It didn't chase it out of the living room right away, because it had checked it when it came. It had already left the first bedroom and was heading towards the other bedroom! Sure enough, it was going to check the other bedroom! Daniel, who had been sneaking a peek into the hallway from the wall of the hallway, immediately retracted his head, because he knew that the Minotaur would have to glance in the direction of the living room again as he walked from one bedroom to another, to make sure that Daniel had fled into the living room! The thing stopped for a second, and it must have looked towards the living room, but it didn't see anything, because Daniel was hiding in the corner of its vision!

Daniel recovered from holding his breath, and he crouched and sneaked in a low-key and swift manner, and walked out of the living room in a few steps. The thing hadn't caught up yet, though there wasn't much time for Daniel to breathe. He had already left a private house and walked to the common corridor on the same floor. Because this strange space of another world has seriously aged all tangible things, countless collapsed potholes have appeared in the corridor. He had heard the bell ringing from another house opposite, but there was no way to get there. Jumping over the collapsed potholes doesn't seem to be a good choice, and the concrete floor on the platform that seems to be a good place to settle on is already severely cracked, and part of the steel bars are exposed, and serious rust can be seen even in this extremely dark environment! Daniel is worried that the impact of jumping over will further collapse the opposite platform, and not only will he not be able to reach the opposite side at that time, but he may even fall to the next floor due to the collapse of the opposite platform...... Or maybe it's the next level...... Or maybe it's a lot deeper, because it's so dark that you can't see it clearly, and God knows how deep it is, and if there will be a platform to catch Daniel?!

Can you only take a detour? And he made a detour while being constantly tracked by the sheep-headed demon. It's a lot of pressure. Daniel frowned and looked around to see if there was any other way to go. There was no end to the road, but he still found another way to go around, and the wall over there had collapsed due to excessive aging, just enough to allow a teenager of Daniel's stature to squeeze into the hole in the wall!

There was already the sound of the sheep-headed demon's footsteps approaching behind him, and Daniel had no other choice, so he didn't even think about it and walked that way. He managed to get in, but Marfa found the room full of nurse dolls with lethal weapons! The nurse dolls seemed to be standing still, and if they weren't stimulated, they wouldn't move at all?Daniel slowly lurked all the way over, and he could see the dolls next to him trembling in place, trembling strangely, as if they would suddenly move at any moment, attacking the Black Iron Knight Boy!

But he had noticed from just now that these monsters didn't seem to have a good sense of hearing, and they might even be blind, relying entirely on their already not very good hearing. The puppets' faces were completely blank, and they couldn't see their eyes or other organs, and the actual situation should not be much different from Daniel's guess! And the sheep-headed demon should not be much better, although it has normal eyesight and can see and move Daniel, its hearing is very average, after all, its head is covered with that kind of thick and impermeable sheep bones! Daniel sneaked past the monster just now and was not heard, which is enough to prove the fact that it has poor hearing!

In this kind of place, if you are patient and keep going, you should be able to pass safely, right?" Daniel stopped breathing and slowly squatted down, lest he alarm the nurse dolls that had passed past him. But he is extremely agile in his own right, and now he is dressed in civilian clothes and is not wearing any armor to get in the way, so it is still easy to slip through the crowd of these dolls who are not good at hearing!

Just when he passed most of the dolls, thinking he was about to be safe------

The hole in the wall he had just passed through was forcibly smashed open by the sheep-headed demon with a kitchen knife! That guy really found Daniel's whereabouts and caught up with him! And because of his huge size, he couldn't pass through the small hole in the wall, so the guy actually solved it violently and directly smashed the hole in the wall to expand the entrance!

This smash is not as simple as exposing Daniel's whereabouts. The sound also alarmed the nurse dolls! The eerie dolls with all sorts of deadly weapons began to writhe wildly, and even though they hadn't noticed where Daniel was, they were extremely dangerous when they danced! The Black Iron Knight boy had to carefully dive through the last little stretch of the road while being even more careful to dodge the scissors, scalpels, and syringes wielded in the nurse dolls' hands! Several times such a sharp thing fell on his head, and he dodged it as soon as he turned his head, but the sharp scalpel cut small blood marks on his cheeks and ears, and the thrill was indescribable!

And it took a few seconds for the sheep-headed demon to recognize Daniel who was sneaking in the group of nurse dolls, and it sprinted towards Daniel, waving the wood knife in his hand continuously, chasing all the way and smashing the nurse dolls in charge all the way!

Daniel had also made his way through the dangerous group of nurse dolls, and there was nothing left to threaten him, at least for the time being. Instead of attacking him, the nurses were helping Daniel get in his way, slowing down the Ram-headed Demon's pursuit, so why not?

Of course, he will also alarm the group of nurse dolls, who were still twitching and waving their weapons frantically one second, and the next second they have already turned around and ran, rushing towards the Black Iron Knight Boy! But after all, the dolls are slower than Daniel, and they not only do not threaten the teenager when they chase them together, but instead become a kind of roadblock, hindering the pursuit of the more dangerous sheep-headed demon! As a result, although he was still chased by a group of monsters, Daniel ran to the front, behind a group of less dangerous nurse dolls, while the sheep-headed demon walked last, and had to slow down and swing a firewood knife to smash the dolls, which was in Daniel's favor!

The boy didn't think much of it, he was very close to the source of the bell, he saw a room at the end of the hall, and he slammed into it, turned and locked the door firmly!

That's not a bell. It was a pure white light, shining in the dark and dilapidated room!

Outside the door was the sound of a group of monsters banging on the door, and the danger was very close. But Daniel was instead attracted by the white light, and slowly approached it, reaching out to it.

This is...... Grail shards?

The untouchable white light only chimes but is ethereal, and even if Daniel reaches out to grab it, it slips through his fingers.

That's not right. The Chalice Fragment has been returned, and it should have been kept somewhere in Great Britain. There shouldn't be more Holy Grail shards here, right?

"It's [erosion]. A voice suddenly rang in Daniel's ears.

"He who has [hope], it will drag you to [despair]. Another voice rang out.

Daniel turned his head to look, and behind him there were three black women's figures, but they were ghostly, their bodies were translucent, and they couldn't see the form at all.

"...... you?"

"Your shrine maiden. "The one who serves the shards. "The primordial maidens of the ancient royal family of Pantoraken, the witches of the darkness. The figures of the three women began to say word by word.

"Witch, witch, what the hell...... ＂

"The pillar that sustains your spiritual stability. "Without us, you will collapse. "Thou shalt be devoured utterly by [despair]. They said quietly.
