Chapter 7: The × Warriors of Blacktown × Whispering

End of the tour.

In the mist, a sign was erected in front of Qi Yu.

Qi Yu never found the way, just walked in the original direction, and found this sign Qi Yu himself felt lucky.

The sign is the welcome sign of the town, but this sign is no longer embraced by gardening flowers and trees as usual, and the sign is replaced by black stone fields around it, extending to the past, hopeless.

Further back of the sign is the Shadow Shadow Building Complex.

When I walked to the sign, the previous name of the town had disappeared on it, and it was blank.

The name of the town is Angry Waves, Angry Waves Town. Every year, the first flood from the snow-capped mountains farther away will pass through the town, and the shallows of the estuary outside the town will make a shocking wave. The festival became a traditional festival in the town, hence the name of the town.

The sign was replaced by a row of zigzag marks, and the material of the writing was ordinary black paint, but the writing was particularly sloppy, and the last few vertical lines were particularly heavy, and the bottom was split.

Qi Yu was a little puzzled, when did he change the brand, and he made such an unconventional design, what kind of reputation the people in the town were doing. It's hard to know that there is a festival that I don't know, or how the first few words look a bit like waves.

At this time, preparing to enter the town, Qi Yu was a little scared, afraid to see something more unrecognizable.

Carrying the backpack that he had dropped when he was happy when he saw the sign just now, Qi Yu walked inside.

No streets, no utilities, no cars, no people. There is only silence in the black building.

The exterior walls of the building seem to have water flowing and appear stained. The beautiful exterior walls of the past have all turned black, and when you look closer, the doors, windows, the facilities inside, and the human utensils are all gone.

Qi Yu walked forward, the buildings all the way were such empty boxes, Qi Yu's heart seemed to be stuffed with extremely cold ice cubes at this time.

Seeing that the liquid flowing on the outer wall continued to seep into the stone rice below, Qi Yu couldn't help but stretch out the antler spear to probe the liquid on the wall. A little liquid stuck to the tip of the spear is crystal clear, like normal water, but it is a little viscous, and it is nothing to look at the tip of the spear stained with liquid.

Deer antlers, wooden poles, contact with strong acids and the like should oxidize and turn black, Qi Yu tore a piece of cocoon skin from his hand and threw it on it, nothing changed, and he didn't smell any peculiar smell along the way, it seems that there is no big problem with this liquid for the time being, but it is better to have less contact.

The longer he shuttled through this black forest, the more chaotic Qi Yu's judgment became.

All the buildings became black holes in Qi Yu's eyes, Qi Yu took a closer look at the walls of the buildings, it turned out that the walls were black, as if all the light was sucked in, leaving no trace. This reminded Qi Yu of the blackest substance in the world he saw on the Internet, as if something was missing out of thin air.

The building that has turned black is the same as the blackest thing in the world, except that the liquid flows on it, reflecting a little bit of light and reflecting the black below.

Black and black are superimposed, as if a black hole has been cut out of the background, there is no layer, no depth.

This made Qi Yu lose his sense of space, and even had a feeling of being lost. Only the faint white mist that slowly swam could barely make Qi Yu distinguish the distance of the building.

Finally getting out of the building complex, Qi Yu came to a very open circular open space in the building complex.

It's a black stone floor, but if you're right, it's a small square in the center of town.

Find the largest exit of the small square, you will find the central axis of the town, walk along the avenue, your home is not difficult to find, just at the end of the avenue, almost to the other end of the town.

Usually, Qi Yu and Qi Ji like to take a walk here after dinner.

In the hunting season, there are a lot of people in the town, and the little guy often abandons himself and chases the car on the wide avenue to see the prey above, and occasionally the fierce prey of black bears and bobcats can make Qi Ji ignite his emotions the most, become a normal little boy, and forget the pain of losing his mother.

Qi Yu reminisced as he trotted along the central axis avenue towards his home.

Finally standing in front of a black building similar to his neighbor, Qi Yu knew that this was his home.

Walk past the six-storey inn - the second tallest building in town, count the fifth.

My home became no different from the building next to it, black, wet, and cold.

The town should all be a ghostly black forest.

Qi Yu was at the door of his house, and he couldn't get in.

Frustration filled his whole body, as if all his strength had been drained, Qi Yu sat softly at the door of the house.

I don't know when, a faint whisper sounded behind Qi Yu.

There is no substance in the babbling, like the kind of dream talk that people murmur in their sleep.

Qi Yu thought that he had misheard, and when he turned around, the sound was indeed there, coming from farther away.

That's the direction of Mark's house, and you can't be wrong. It's a block directly across from my house.

In the past, Mark would often take Qi Ji through the fence in the courtyard of the neighborhood to play Scout cross-country races. There are not many permanent residents in the town, and they are all like family, and they don't think about it, and even stop to cheer them on. Most of the time, many children will join in the play, and the whole block is full of people.

It's just that now it's different from the ease and joy of the past, Qi Yu put down his backpack and traveled lightly.

Putting the bow on his back and lifting the antler spear, Qi Yu walked across the road through the courtyard and fence that no longer existed, and walked towards Mark's house. The whispers kept lingering in Qi Yu's ears, and the voice became louder and louder.

After two or three minutes, Qi Yu arrived near Mark's house, although he didn't see Mark's house, Qi Yu could be sure that the whisper came from Mark's house.

As soon as Qi Yu came out of the corner of the house opposite Mark's house, three people appeared in his sight, obviously not from the townspeople.

Qi Yu quickly retracted his head and retracted his figure in the corner. After pausing for a while, there seemed to be no movement, and he slowly moved his gaze against the wall, the clammy and cold liquid sticking to his face made people sick and uncomfortable, but it did not affect Qi Yu's observation.

The three of them were all drenched, could it be that they ran out of Mark's house. The inside and outside of these buildings are as if a layer of glue has been poured over them.

On their heads, something from a black helmet looped over their foreheads, covering half of their eyes and ears, revealing black hair at the edges. A black mask is worn underneath the face, revealing only the burnt yellow skin of the cheekbones. The rest of their bodies were protected by some black-gray armor, and short knives with sheaths stuck in their waists.

The three of them looked a little like warriors, but Qi Yu was puzzled, such a warrior had never been seen.

Because of the masks and headbands, the expressions of the three people could not be seen, but all three of them were in a vigilant battle posture, and they spread out, holding up a metallic stick in their left and right hands, which also pointed to Mark's home.

Is this stick a gun? What is there in Mark's house that makes them so alert? The more Qi Yu looked, the more confused he became.

The three of them suddenly began to move towards Mark's house little by little, making some noises to each other, and the direction in which the stick was pointing changed, no longer pointing at the door of the house, but diagonally upwards towards the upper part of the house.

Qi Yu moved his gaze upwards, and there was something on the wall of Mark's room.

Something he couldn't see, whispers were coming from where they were.
