Between the mystery and the circle
He gently put the feather in the water, the feather swayed quietly in the water, there was no reaction, he picked up the feather and looked at it and shook his head, he was a little disappointed in his reasoning, looking at the feather to God.
Winnie Hills gently took the feather from Thomas's hand and looked at it, "I think this feather is very beautiful, I like animals, I guess this is the feather ...... of an animal I don't know, you just said it is very special, so how about I try it?" Thomas certainly didn't care about Winnie Hills' urge to give it a try.
She looked at the feather and gently put the feather on the water, and slowly the feather stalk began to turn in one direction, floating left and right in the puddle without changing direction, the two looked at each other for a moment, Thomas and Winnie Hills could not hide their joy, Thomas was surprised, is this the legendary luck?
"yes, look like we've found our way out...... let's go ......, Venicis......" Thomas pulled a rope from his pocket, tied the feather tightly around his neck, and got up and walked in the direction the feather was pointing.
"It's ...... Winnie Hills"
"I'm sorry ......"
"You can call me ...... Ves"
"Okay, Weiss." Thomas sensed that Winnie Hills was getting closer to him, and the two weren't that strange, which was a good sign of cooperation.
The two of them began to walk for a long time in the direction the feather was pointing, through the leafless forests, until they came to a clearing surrounded by forests, and in the center of the clearing was an old ruin, just a broken stone wall, on which some patterns were faintly visible, and Thomas guessed that the ruins were at least a hundred years old, and many of the stone surfaces had been smoothed.
Through a window on the stone wall, I saw a person with his back to the two of them in front of him, looking at the dark forest in front of him in a daze, the two looked at each other, the strangest thing was Winnie Hills, she had never seen anyone here except her family, and she had never been to this place, Thomas's appearance had surprised her very much, and there was another person here today, how many secrets were hidden here, and her understanding of this place added a mystery, and completely subverted her perception of this place.
"Hey......, you're ......, can you hear me?" Thomas put his hands to his mouth and shouted to the people in the distance, but the other party didn't react much, just trembled and didn't look back, still with his back to them, Thomas thought that the man didn't hear, he thought for a while and said to Winnie Hills: "We have to come up and say hello, it's too weird here......"
The two of them cautiously approached the man, and the closer they got closer, the clearer they could see, and the back of the man was wearing a green coat, which was really different, Thomas and Winnie Hills approached cautiously, and Thomas picked up a wooden bowl with a thick mouth.
"What are you doing?" Winnie Hills asked, lowering his voice.
"What?" Thomas looked at Winnie Hills at the wood in his hand, "Just in case." Thomas replied in a low voice, both of them afraid that the sound of his words would scare the mysterious man.
The two slowly approached, Thomas could only hear the crackling sound of raindrops on his clothes, the two walked through the ruins about 10 meters away from each other, Thomas suddenly stretched out a hand in front of Winnie Hills, he saw that the back of the mysterious man was not green clothes but more like scales or leaves, he couldn't be sure what it was, he could feel a bad atmosphere.
"What's wrong?"
"Can you see the man's back?" Winnie Hills looked in the direction of Thomas's finger, and she could see the strange green 'coat' of the other party, "I don't think the atmosphere is right here, we better be careful, follow me and don't act rashly." ”
She fully agreed with Thomas's judgment, and made an OK gesture to Thomas, and the two of them still cautiously approached the 'person', the closer they got to the person, the reaction of the person seemed to be constantly twitching, and Thomas still held the wooden stick tightly in his hand, and the weapon increased Thomas's self-confidence.
"Hey, are you okay? Who are you......" Thomas slowly shifted his steps towards the twitching stranger, who didn't look back or answer, still shaking his body.
Thomas and Winnie Hills looked at each other and wondered what was going to happen next, and Thomas nervously put a hand on the man's shoulder, and at that moment, Thomas was shocked by the man's terrifying face when he suddenly turned around, and Winnie Hills shouted loudly.
It's not that people don't have faces at all, the whole face is a mass of flesh divided into four petals, the four petals of flesh are separated like a four-leaf flower, each leaf has two rows of fangs on the flesh, and in the middle there is a circle of sharp teeth from which a slender tongue sticks out, from which a viscous liquid flows, and the stench rushes towards the two of them with a sharp scream, and two bone-like legs support the uncoordinated body.
Thomas did not hesitate to give the monster a stick, the monster staggered, and did not retreat because of Thomas's attack but aroused the monster's beastly desire, opened and stretched his neck and opened the flap of flesh to attack Thomas, Thomas did not hesitate to use all his strength to poke the stick into the black hole in the middle of the meat flap, this time it did give the monster a lot of damage, the monster fell to the ground and twitched, spurting green and red pus from it, and bursts of rotten stench wafted from it, The body that is constantly twitching makes a gurgling sound.
Thomas didn't know if the monster was dead, he didn't dare to linger, pulled up Winnie Hills, who was paralyzed on the ground, and ran towards the deep forest, which was exactly the direction indicated by the feather, the two had no choice, the two ran quickly, Winnie Hills shouted loudly: "What is that?" ”
"I don't know much more than you know." Thomas ran ahead, panting.
"Where should we run......" Winnie Hills was already exhausted, and stopped and gasped for air with her hands on her knees, her ribs already starting to ache.
Thomas stopped and looked around, all bare tree trunks and branches, the gray sky obscured by the towering cedar trees, and it was as dark as a dusk forest, "We'll have to work harder, Winnie Hills, I don't know what else will happen here." ”
She looked up at Thomas and said, "We didn't know it was the end, we're lost again." ”
"Go in the direction you have pointed, and I believe it will come to an end......" Thomas comforted Winnie Hills as she listened, she straightened up and walked forward, her constricted lungs relieving.
Raindrops dripped down from the trunks of the trees, more rain fell here than in the clearing, crackling on the clothes of the two, the soaked clothes were attached to the skin, the wet clothes mixed with the warm body temperature The skin was a little itchy, the two of them brushed their wet hair with their hands, and the two finally decided to continue walking.
The sound of a wood being trampled on was audible in the silent forest, and both of them realized what it meant, and there were other creatures here, all looking around for the source of the sound, and the forest was still silent, and Thomas listened quietly and said, "We need to get out of here, it's too dangerous here......" Before he could finish his words, another muffled sound interrupted him.
The two of them had to speed up their pace and often walked forward, and there was an increasingly dense movement behind them, the 'gurgling' sound coming from their throats was all too familiar to them, and like the sound of the monster that had just fallen, Thomas guessed that this time it would not be one but many.
"Run......" Thomas whispered to Winnie Hills.
Without hesitation, Winnie Hills quickened his pace and ran past Thomas, who looked back to see how many of these monsters he had to face, and he wanted to find another sturdy stick from the ground, which was full of tiny branches, and he had to give up this idea of time and run after him.
Thomas looked back at the situation at any time, and sure enough, as he had speculated, there were at least three similar monsters behind him, with petal-like flesh petals on their faces, strong bounce and agility, it was a matter of time before they caught up with them, but they couldn't give up hope of life, "Don't look back, run forward......
"Why?"
"You won't want to know, trust me."
Winnie Hills, of course, knew what Thomas meant, and she ran as hard as she could on the soft ground, and she heard another high-pitched and piercing scream behind her, and she didn't want to look at the disgusting monster again, "Talk to me, I'm afraid." ”
"There's no suitable topic right now, ...... Weiss, do you like Chinese food?" Thomas didn't know why he had become incoherent.
"What?"
The two of them ran in the forest one after the other, the monster kept approaching them with the help of the tree trunk, Winnie Hills used all his strength, his legs went weak and fell to the ground, Thomas grabbed her arm without hesitation and continued to run with her in the back, the difference in strength between the two made her stumble and stumble, and fell to the ground again without running a few steps.
"Don't give up......," he pulled Winnie Hills up again, who was lying on the ground, "just run, no matter how fast." ”
The monster got closer and closer to them, Thomas tripped over the roots of the tree, pulled Winnie Hills and fell heavily to the ground, the monster had already enclosed the two in the middle, Thomas kept groping on the ground, Winnie Hills grabbed Thomas's clothes and hid behind him, Thomas felt that his hands were wet and slippery, he didn't want to look at it because of his own fear.
An arrow hit the back of one of the monsters' heads, and then fell, another arrow flew through the tongue of the other monster in front of Thomas's eyes, and the arrow pierced its body, and the last monster jumped up and opened its mouth full of mucus to attack Thomas, Thomas vaguely looked at the tongue sticking out of the big mouth of the black hole, and the two arrows hit the last monster and pushed it out, fell to the ground and struggled a few times before it stopped, and Thomas kicked the monster aside with his foot.
The two of them were surprised by this sudden change, this time it should be artificial, at least higher intelligence than those monsters, and at least two people, are they enemies or allies?
"Who?" Thomas shouted. "Who's there?" Winnie Hills still clung to Thomas's clothes and looked out with one eye.
Two men came out from behind the tree, looking at the silhouette of the shadows, a man and a woman, each holding a bow and arrow.
When the two walked into Thomas and Winnie Hills, Thomas and Winnie Hills were taken aback again.
He pointed to the two of them and said incoherently, "No, it's impossible to ......, you ......" Biflong put his fingers against his mouth, patiently listening to what had happened to Rosebina in deep surprise, "Oops, oops, it looks like I've been trapped here for too long, there's been so much going on outside, oops." ”
"It's time to get out and breathe, Beagle." Rosibina used a pun, believing that Bifron should have escaped from Resley's body, that she was the one who had occupied and helped him escape from his current predicament, and that she wanted to be left alone.
"As you said, there are too many great ...... missed, but I don't think that's a pity." Biffron rocked back and forth from the rocking chair, "Looks like you have the same unique vision as I do......"
Rosebina held her elbow with one hand, and the fingers of the other hand caressed her lips, "At first glance, at first glance, I knew that this girl had extraordinary potential, although it was only a very strong feeling, but her heart rejected my call and peep, which is the reason why I have always wanted to know, until suddenly this power disappeared, and I ...... not when I rejected me, thanks to Samael." ”
Bivron's fidgeting at Samael made him a little restless, and he changed his posture and asked tentatively, "Oh? Samael ......, could it be that Samael also had a keen interest in this girl? ”
She waved her hand and said, "Of course not, don't follow me, you have forgotten his character, he doesn't care about human beings at all......" Rosepbina glanced again, "He's capsized in the gutter...... who knows." ”
"Aha, it's very much in line with his character, and I once told him to change his temper, it's all self-inflicted."
"I'm for ......" Rosebine paused for a moment, she didn't want to dwell on Samael, she wanted to know more about Resley, "Biflon, I wonder why you think so highly of this girl?" ”
"Hah, you want to hear my reasoning?" Biflon walked in front of her, "This can't start with her, but from her mother......" This remark aroused the greater curiosity of Hirosebina, and she listened intently to Bivlong about his experience, "I valued her mother's potential that day, but those so-called exorcists tortured me enough, and the body of that slut was messed up by those people, to be honest, that woman had a noble racial blood flowing in her body, and I didn't know what it was, and finally I ran here, As a result, that slut and her dumb husband used 'repulsion' ancient magic to keep me locked up in there. ”
