Chapter XXV
On an autumn night, the wind is blowing.
It made a cold and terrifying whistling sound, like a ghost crying and howling.
Especially in a cemetery, it looks even more eerie.
Among the messy grass, the tombstones became the owners of the land, and the tomb owners in good condition also had a spacious tomb with a few condolence flowers placed in front of the monuments.
And those poor worms with only tombstones, let the weeds cover them, drowning their existence in the world.
The cemetery keeper, after looking at the moonlight and making sure that there were no people who came to pay their respects, locked the gate of the cemetery and ended his day's work with a pleasant whistle.
The night is a carnival time for all evil creatures.
The creatures hidden in the cemetery crept out of the ground from this place of death and visited the earth.
Accompanied by a "click......" grinding sound.
The closed stone door of a burial chamber slowly opened.
A withered hand stretched out from the dark burial chamber......
One after another, the black figures, so fast that only an afterimage remained, and they quickly climbed over the thorny walls one after another, wandering through the streets and alleys......
At dawn.
The last monster to return to the cemetery, dragged an unconscious woman into the burial chamber.
In the drag, the woman's shoe fell to the tomb door, and the cautious monster reached out its slender claws and carried it into the tomb with it.
The tomb door is closed.
A red light bloomed in the sky.
In this city, there is no one who knows how many unlucky ghosts will disappear from this world forever.
……
Night falls.
Farmers who were greedy for the harvest hurriedly rushed home with their crops.
The dark roads, combined with the bumpy dirt roads, caused farmers to fall directly to the waterways along the ditches......
However, he was not seen again on the dirt road.
The last scene he left to the world was his dragged feet and submerged in the dense corn forest.
And those who walk at night because they are in a hurry, even if they carry torches, they are accompanied. Still on this night, he became a missing person who has not been heard from.
……
Burke Region.
It's not just cities.
Even in the surrounding countryside, there is news of a large number of missing people.
The mayor of the Burke administration is overwhelmed by the sheer volume of missing documents every day.
A swift letter was quickly delivered to Sheriff Lake.
……
Lake looked at the letter in his hand, his brow furrowed.
On the envelope, the mayor told him to put down what he was doing and return to the city as soon as possible to solve the case of missing people.
Shortly after receiving the letter, Lake instructed the vigilantes to begin packing.
"I'm sorry, but our cooperation may be about to be terminated temporarily."
Lake rolled over and apologized to Galo and his party.
Garlo smiled and asked, "Is it any intention to reveal what is going on?" So urgent! ”
Lake sighed, "There have been a lot of missing people in various jurisdictions recently, and the mayor asked me to take over the investigation of this matter. ”
Jia Luo, Jue and Han Qingluo glanced at each other tacitly: this matter must be inseparable from the "ghost" that Lilian foresaw!
Han Qingluo: "Why don't you take us with you!" ”
This time Lake didn't agree, he showed a look of embarrassment: "I'm sorry, this time things will be very busy, I don't have time to arrange for you, and there are two ladies, this will make my work more difficult, if something happens, it will be really bad!" ”
……
The figure of the vigilante is gradually moving away.
Han Qingluo took out the map in his backpack and put it on the ground to unfold it.
According to Lake, there has been a widespread disappearance of people in the Burke area. So—" his finger measured the map, "then, this area is beyond what we had planned to do. ”
"The sphere of influence of this group of 'ghosts' is very large, and it seems that it has been premeditated for a long time."
Garlo was very worried that if this matter was not intervened, something might really happen that would threaten the blood society, and it would be the rhythm of destruction.
Jue took the map and glanced at it, and the place where the incident occurred contained far more than they could reach.
"With just our manpower, it is not enough to investigate this matter, this conspiracy, we have only touched the tip of its iceberg, and we still don't know what the purpose of the secret enemy is."
"So ......"
Han Qingluo and Jia Luo looked at Jue together.
"So, let's try to catch a 'ghost'!"
Jue put away the map and looked at them with confidence.
It seems that he already has a plan.
——
An abandoned fishing village with no one along the coast.
In a dilapidated room that can be sheltered from the wind and rain for the time being.
Loris is applying medicine to a wound on her thigh.
Looking at the scar the size of a coin on her fair thigh, she couldn't forget the silver-haired male blood clan.
I can't forget it, it's because of the scars he caused himself, and the arrogant and gentlemanly temperament on his body that makes her interested.
There seems to be another spot on her hunt list.
For the sake of the dead ghosts, let's call you for the dead ghosts!
With a bewitching smile on her face, Loris slowly pulled off the corners of her uplifted skirt to cover the scars on her thighs.
"Come in!"
Suddenly, she put away her smile and looked at the hidden door.
A Bloodline pushed open the door, "Lord Gloris, it doesn't seem right that you're letting us guard the coffin!" ”
mentioned this killer trick to deal with Jue, Loris also felt a little lucky, she had an extra eye when she designed an ambush in the small town.
Let a small number of blood descendants, stay in this abandoned fishing village that no one knows, and be optimistic about this coffin.
The forces in the small town have been wiped out, but she still has some power left in the fishing village, which is really a blessing in misfortune!
"Take me to see it!"
"Yes!"
……
Placed in a fishing village not far from the coast for a long time, the coffin has been eroded by damp sea vapor and has begun to become moldy and damp.
"Open!"
Loris ordered the Bloodborns to pry open the closed lid of the coffin, wanting to check on the corpse in the coffin.
One of the Bloodborns pulled out the sword from his waist and inserted it into the gap between the coffin lid and the coffin body, and after a few vigorous pries, the lid of the coffin that had been nailed open with a few "clicks".
As soon as the lid of the coffin was opened, a strong smell of corpses came to the face.
I saw a female corpse lying on her back in the coffin, which was the human girl Jue liked a hundred years ago, the dried corpse of Aisha.
The corpse, which was originally very well preserved, began to decompose a little due to the erosion of sea vapor.
Gloria frowned slightly, and waved for the Bloodborn to close the lid of the coffin.
"Carry the coffin to dry ground and immediately buy a large amount of charcoal to spread it inside and outside the coffin!"
"Yes!"
After the Bloodline leaves, Flores walks out of the fishing village alone.
Because of her injury, she was tired of developing her descendants to expand her power, so she left it all to Ross to complete.
Standing on the reef pile, looking out at the place where the sea and the sky meet, the burning clouds are gradually fading in color.
Night is coming.
Everything around is replaced by inky blue.
The sea breeze stirred her red hair, and the hem of her skirt swayed slightly.
Without saying a word, she is incredibly beautiful at the moment.
There was a sound of waves in his ears, and the green eyes looked at the surging sea level stupidly.
Such a calm landscape.
A sense of loneliness rose in Gloris's heart.
In these five hundred years, there seems to be no one who can truly accompany her permanently.
So, what is she here for so long?
Love?
Or is it a right?
Touching the still painful wound on her thigh through her dress, Loris recalled the silver-haired man's face uncontrollably......
"Are you thinking of me? Beauty! ”
A flirtatious voice sounded behind her, and Loris immediately pulled out the dagger in her long sleeve and turned around and stabbed it back.
Sevi easily grabbed her wrist and lowered her eyes to look at the sharp dagger, frowning slightly.
"Tut-tut, it's not good to be rough when you meet!"
"You're stalking me?"
Gloris's pretty face was full of gloom, and her eyes were wide as she stared at the silver-haired man in front of her.
"I fell in love with the beauty at first sight, and I missed it very much, so I wanted to come to you and solve the pain of lovesickness."
"You, let go of me!"
In the face of Sevi's light teasing, Loris became even more annoyed, and tried to break free from his grasp, but he was caught to death.
Cloley's useless struggle made Selvey feel the truest thoughts in her heart for a second. His thin lips curled into a bewildering smile, staring at his gripping wrist.
"If you want me to let you go, you can do it unless you put the knife down."
"Okay, I'll put it!"
As soon as Loris said this, Sevi let go of her hand with relief......
"Poof!"
Sevi looked down at his thigh, a dagger stuck in his side, blood quickly staining his platinum pants.
"Why don't you get out of the way?"
Somewhat unexpectedly, Loris let go of her hand holding the dagger and took a step back, the uneven reef causing her to fall backwards.
The next second, she felt like she had fallen into a solid embrace, and when she raised her eyes, her face was reflected in those light purple eyes.
It was a heart-touching face.
"If you don't dodge, won't I pay off the debt I owe you?"
Gloris's pupils constricted, as if something had stimulated her heart, and her body seemed to be caught in some huge whirlpool, making her feel dizzy and unreal.
Sevi carried her to the flat shore and laid her down, pulled out the dagger from her thigh without frowning, and reached out to Gloris.
"This is my gift to you!"
Gloris's gaze wandered between his face and the dagger still stained with his blood, and she couldn't figure out what the male blood in front of her was trying to do.
The unknown scared her, but it was also mixed with the desire to explore.
The rest of her sanity pulled Glories back, and she took the dagger that Sevi had handed her, and plunged it into its scabbard without even wiping the blood.
"What do you want from me?"
"I said I'm here to help you, do you believe it?"
"Why?"
"Just because I like you!"
The smile on the corner of Gloris's mouth froze, and a sneer came out of her mouth for a while, and she laughed out loud.
"Don't you believe me?"
Sevi was still smiling.
"Be my man, do you dare? Betrayal of the clansmen, betrayal of the secret party! ”
Loris looked at Sevi playfully, but when she saw a hint of hesitation flash in his eyes, for a moment, she felt an inexplicable disappointment, a disappointment that she could not perceive.
Sevi raised his eyes, and his lips lightly opened: "Good! ”
……
This night.
In the wrap of the sea breeze and waves.
Loris seems to have regained the feeling of rebirth from the warmth with Sevi......
