Chapter 269: Fangs Hidden in the Darkness
The Overworld, the city of Keha.
Looking at the filthy tent in front of him, an irrepressible disgust appeared on the man's face.
"Are you sure we're really going to work with these people?"
"Shut up, that's what it means, you just have to do what you have to do."
Hearing the man's complaint, an old man dressed as a coachman beside him whispered, although the two seemed to be in a master-servant relationship, but in fact it seemed to be completely reversed.
"Don't talk too much, don't do too much, just do what you have to do, understand?"
"Okay."
Hearing the old coachman's reminder, the man pursed his lips, and then he strode forward and opened the curtain on the tent.
ββββοΌβ
A warm stench came over the surface, and for a moment the man felt as if he had gotten into elephant dung, and it took him almost all his willpower to keep himself from spitting up. But even so, the man reached out and picked up a handkerchief and put it to his mouth, and then walked into the tent.
"Hehehe, welcome."
As soon as he entered the tent, the man saw an old woman sitting behind a round table, looking like a thin mummy, wrapped in a multicolored rag. The old woman still has a few brightly colored bows tied in her hair, and I don't know if she misses her girlish heart. Most of her face was obscured by her stray hair, and only a shriveled chin could be seen under the flickering candles.
"Did you get what I wanted? Little brother? β
The old woman's voice was like a saw sawing wood, which made people feel uncomfortable when they heard it, and the man also frowned, and then took out a cloth bag from his arms and put it on the table in front of the old woman. Seeing the cloth bag, the old woman smiled and narrowed her eyes, and then she stretched out her thin fingers, picked open the cloth bag one by oneβββ under the light of the candle, you can clearly see that it is a few slender hairs wrapped inside.
"Is this what I want?"
"Of course."
Hearing the old woman's inquiry, the man frowned.
"It took me days to pick up a few hairs while the stupid woman wasn't looking......... Does this really work? β
"Hehehe........."
Hearing the man's inquiry, the old woman let out a shrill laugh.
"Of course, sir, we witches eat this bowl of rice........."
"Well, it's up to you whether you can do it anyway."
In the face of the old woman's answer, the man shrugged his shoulders indifferently, but soon he looked at the old woman with some curiosity and asked.
"But then again, how could you be interested in such a small person? Although her inventions are indeed very valuable, she herself is just an ordinary little alchemist, and I don't think she looks like she has any talent......... Woo........."
However, before the man's words were finished, he saw the old woman pointing at him lightly, and the next moment, the man sneezed suddenly, and then he felt an itch in his nose, and before the man could react again, he felt two soft, sticky things crawling out of his noseβββ those were two bugs!
"Uh......... What the hell is this, woo........."
The man was shocked to see the worms crawling out of his nose, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he felt an itch in his throat, and then the man suddenly bent down and opened his mouth to vomit, and then he was horrified to see a large group of fluffy spiders squirting out of his mouth and crawling all over the place!
"Damn it, don't ......... Woo......... No............!! β
"Hehehe..............."
Seeing that the man in front of her was pale and vomiting, the old woman let out a hoarse laugh, she squinted her eyes, looked at each other, and then snorted softly. The next moment, the man saw the worms that had come out of his body quickly run away in all directions, and disappeared into the shadows of the tent's debris in the blink of an eye.
"Hey, hey, hey......... Young people, there are some things that should not be talked about casually........."
"I, I know........."
The old woman's voice in his ears was so disgusting, but at this moment the man did not dare to speak more, he covered his throat with one hand, and looked at the old woman in front of him with fear.
"Then, then I'll leave first.........
"Hehehe, I'm sorry, the distinguished guests didn't invite you to a cup of tea when they came to the door........."
"No, no, no, it's nothing, I'm still in a bit of a hurry, so I'll go first......... Woo!! β
Speaking of this, the man finally couldn't help it, turned around and rushed out of the door, and soon, through the curtain of the door, his vomiting sound came again. Listening to the man's wails of pain and vomiting, the old woman smiled contentedly, and then she lowered her head and squinted at the hair in the package.
"Will it work?"
I don't know when, the hunched old coachman has appeared in the tent, there is no expression on his face, just staring coldly at the hair in the old woman's hand.
"Of course."
Hearing the coachman's inquiry, the old woman cracked her mouth, revealing her smoky yellow teeth, and a smug smile appeared.
"No one can escape from a witch......... This little poor will be lost in dreams forever........."
As she spoke, the old witch raised her hands and picked up the strange and strange-smelling spices from the pots and pots beside her, and began to smear and fiddle with her hair, and at the same time, her mouth began to chant incantations from ancient mysteries.........
"Hey......... And it didn't work out again........."
Nanali raised her hands and stretched, then she looked sadly at the cultivation trough in front of her, the crops used for the experiment had turned yellow, and it was obvious that she could no longer absorb enough nutrients.
"That soilless cultivation that Mr. Ezio said is really difficult, and I have already matched all these elements according to Miss Nimfu's prompts, why do I always make mistakes? Exactly the temperature? Or is it a problem with containers? β
Muttering to herself, Nanali picked up the notebook in her hand and recorded several sets of data against the subject in front of her, before she stood up.
"That's all for today......... I don't know when Mr. Ezio will be able to return, but I heard Miss Nimfu say that he has something to do......... I don't think there's any danger. β
As she thought, Nanali yawned, then shook her head and walked to the bedroom, pushing the door open. Then he staggered in.
"Huh?"
But the next moment, a cold wind blew, which made the girl shiver, and the original trace of sleepiness disappeared under this cold wind. When she looked up again, she was surprised to find that what appeared in front of her eyes was not the bedroom room she was familiar with, but a dark, dilapidated room covered in cobwebs and dust!
"W-where is this?"
Nanali looked around, then she reached out and rubbed her eyes.
Am I dreaming?
Nanali looked around, but couldn't see anything, it seemed that she was the only one here, and even behind her, there was a blank wall, which made Nanali wonder if she had stayed up too late and hallucinated.
ββ¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β
However, the girl did not notice that behind her, in the dark and gloomy corner, distorted, strange shadows were quietly and silently approaching her, they intertwined with each other, condensed into the form of a thin old woman, and then the old woman grinned like this, with a grim smile, stretched out her hands, and quietly approached the girl like a snake.
And at this moment......... Suddenly, a cat meow sounded.
"Meow."
With this cat's meow, the world in front of him suddenly began to distort and deform like smashed glass, and cracks quickly appeared in the air, extended, and then the whole world completely burst with a "pop" at this moment.
At the same time, the old woman who emerged from the darkness screamed and stepped back as if her ass was on fire. Nanali, on the other hand, shuddered and fell to the ground unconscious.
"How, how could it be ........."
The shadow-condensed figure stared in horror and looked ahead in horror, and in front of her, a black kitten was standing, its tail tied with a blue bow, and a pair of large bright eyes staring at the witch in front of her without blinking.
"You, who are you!? Why were you able to enter my dream realm? β
Looking at the black cat in front of her, the old witch only felt cold sweat. This is the power of a witch who intrudes into the dreams of others, pulls the soul of the prey into the realm of her own dreams, and plunges it into the dark shadows of nightmares and death. But now......... Something invaded his dreams?
In the face of the old witch's roar, the little black cat didn't say anything, it just tilted its little head, stretched out its front paws to wipe its face, and then lightly added the tips of its own claws, and then raised its head to look at the old witch in front of it. It was as if a hunter was catching his prey.........
"Meow ............"
Then the little black cat barked again, and then hit the floor with a paw.
"Smack!!"
At this moment, the whole world was completely shattered, and then, the boundless darkness was like a raging flood, completely engulfing the witch in front of her.
"Ahh!!h
There was a piercing scream from the shabby tent, and the old coachman's eyes widened as he watched the witch in front of him suddenly raise her body backwards, her eyes wide open, and only the whites of her eyes remained. The whole body bent almost as if it was about to break.
"Dream ......... It's mine......... Dream.........! β
The old witch's hands waved wildly in the air, like a drowning person trying to grasp the life-saving straw, and then, her eyes suddenly turned black, and the next moment, I saw the ribs in the center of the old witch's body suddenly "bang" to both sides, and blood spurted out of it mixed with internal organs, scattered all over the ground. The old witch remained lying on her back on the ground, as if she were sculpturally unresponsive.
"This ......... What's going on here? β
Hearing the screams, the man returned to the tent again, and he was also shocked to see the scene in front of him. In the face of the man's inquiry, the old coachman was gloomy, he stared coldly at the old witch's corpse, and after a while, he snorted coldly.
"It seems that our opponent is not easy to deal with........."
