If the noise Norman heard at first was just the collapse of the walls, the roar he heard as he was about to step onto the main road was enough to blow the entire mansion into the sky.

"Boom"

Just as he was about to step out of the alley, the rumbling sound spread from the family's side, and he suddenly withdrew his steps and shrank into the shadows.

Then, even a person like him who was hiding in the alley could look up and see a flash of fire soaring into the sky through the fog.

This is probably the first time he has seen the "top" of the underground black market since he was born. On the flat roof, the raging flames and large clouds of black smoke could not even hide the gray mist, and the red patch above could be seen in the distance.

"Roar"

Perhaps it was the huge movement that also startled the living corpses on the street outside. After seeing the firelight, they were like crazy and prominent, and they spread their legs and ran straight in the direction of the family mansion, and the speed was terrifying!

At least Norman guessed right, these guys who even walked around without being disturbed were definitely not as easy to deal with as they seemed on the surface.

"Luckily, if it hadn't been for this explosion, it wouldn've been there just now."

He was just about to rejoice, when suddenly, he looked back at the flickering firelight and froze in place.

"No, can it really be considered lucky?"

Sometimes, one thing may be called "lucky" for one person, but it is called "unlucky" for another person, or even a group of people.

Yes, after all the living corpses on the street outside have left, he will be able to go to the hall of the Dark Spirit Pavilion and leave this hellish place in relative safety. But the price of his safe escape was in exchange for the lives of the entire family.

Thinking of this, the initial happiness in Norman's heart was suddenly melted away by the cruel reality.

"Alas"

Norman clearly didn't like his own family very much, just as he didn't like the two nephews in the suitcase. In that family, from beginning to end, it was full of deceit and mercenary, and there was no human touch at all.

But now, he found that he still couldn't hate it at all, let alone take it calmly with this tragic annihilation.

In particular, the old head of the Werther family, his old father, maintained absolute sanity until the end, and chose to let his youngest son, who usually doesn't like it very much, live.

A way of thinking that completely ignores human feelings and only thinks about the continuation of the family used to be what Norman hated the most, but now it has become the only reason for his survival.

Is there anything more depressing in this world than this?

“…… Just because you, and your daughter Charlotte, have a friendship with that McLean, and you are most likely to continue the bloodline of my Werther family! That's why I chose you over your two more capable brothers! ”

This sentence began to echo in his head again, and it made him feel especially painful.

Because, the person who said this is probably dead now.

"All gone?"

In a trance, Norman, who was hiding in the shadows, suddenly noticed that the sound of running outside was fading away, which finally brought him back to his senses and quietly peeked into the street a few times.

Indeed, there are no more "people"!

There was no time to hesitate for him, the moment the old father fell, Helpo would leave. Regardless of whether the other party knew about the fact that he had run away with the two children, he had to escape as soon as possible.

In the next second, Norman rushed headlong onto the already empty street, turned a corner and ran straight to the gate of the Dark Spirit Pavilion.

It was worth the detour before, but now he quickly broke into the uninhabited hall of the Dark Spirit Pavilion, and then opened the passage and left the underground black market without stopping.

……

London is not small, but big is not big, and if you choose to fly without stopping with the help of a broomstick, you will soon be able to escape beyond the fog.

But now, where does Norman dare to fly into the sky? Isn't that tantamount to a blatant provocation of Helbo?

It's just that walking down the street is obviously not an easy thing anymore. Because Norman found that since then, there seemed to be more and more living dead people who were quietly wandering in the mist.

What's more, the living corpses in this urban area are not as purposeful as those "of the same kind" in the underground black market before. Without Helbo's clear guidance, they wander aimlessly, making it impossible to figure out their path.

Sometimes those who go forward well will turn back the next moment, not to mention those who only go around the same place and never leave.

Norman carefully dodged along the way, and when he noticed something was wrong, he hid in his suitcase for a while, but he was almost discovered by the guys several times.

Half an hour passed, and Helbo did not encounter him, but there was no shortage of dangers.

All the way up to ...... He saw a familiar figure among the living corpses.

"Elena?"

It was his eldest brother's wife, and the mother of the older nephew in the box, and Norman's stomach churned as soon as he saw the mutilated familiar face, and he almost threw up.

Although he had already been surprised by the cruel-looking living corpses for more than half an hour, the feeling was still extremely uncomfortable when he saw his acquaintances.

Even though, he has always been a little tired of this usually scathing sister-in-law.

Norman looked away, closed his eyes slightly, took a deep breath, and wanted to leave here. But who would have expected that just seeing an acquaintance who had turned into a living corpse was not the most terrible accident he had ever encountered!

Because he was so agitated at the moment, he didn't notice that the back of the suitcase in his hand was actually stretched out of the inside. And in the crack, a pair of pricked eyes were peeking out in the blink of an eye.

And at the moment when he turned around and wanted to walk away gently......

"Mother!"

It was not only Norman who was suddenly stunned, but also the female living corpse behind him who was no longer Yelena!

"Roar"

With a terrible roar, Norman immediately heard a rush of footsteps behind him, which forced him to start running forward without looking back.

"There are many obstacles!"

As he ran, he threw an obstacle spell behind him, but he had no time to complain about peeking at the children outside. Because he knew that the other party's roar would most likely cause a chain reaction in the neighborhood, and thus find a horde of enemies.

At that point, he couldn't run even if he wanted to.

And the most important part is

“…… Million...... Don't alarm Helbo! ”
