Chapter 204: A Night That Is Not Quiet
.
The sound of messy footsteps came from the dark and deep end of the hallway, with both composure and hesitation, and the trembling light of the fire drove away the darkness and illuminated the rest of the place.
Bang!
Squeak –
The lock snapped open, and the spring-driven wooden door slammed into the wall, and they ignored Bill's words, and it was natural to check on the other villa.
The black suit walked through the corridor in a state of uneasiness, the strange smell of smoke in the house here, and all the space was also shrouded in darkness, and the flower bow tie put the antique silver candlestick in his hand close to the candlestick on the wall, lighting up the place they passed in turn.
"By the way, did little Cliff just say that there's nothing in the house here?"
"I can't believe what Cliff says, wizards and witches are weird creatures, they talk and laugh with you one second, and throw you into the pot the next second......"
As the firelight filled the villa, the black suit became bold, holding a candlestick and checking the room with a flower bow tie, they passed by the living room piled with firewood by the fireplace and sat down on the sofa to rest.
Obviously, they got nothing.
The whole person in the black suit leaned against the sofa and smoked, and his fear of shadows was also relieved, and he began to talk again.
"Hey, why did you say that the boss kept taking John's fat guy, he didn't even develop his ability, and he knew to follow the boss's ass every day. ”
"The boss has his own plans, why do you care so much?"
The flower bow tie did not let down his guard even when he sat down, although he usually seems to be informal, and he will definitely get serious at the critical moment, which is also an important reason why the fat boss took him out to run errands.
"I heard from the grapevine that John's potential is comparable to that of our boss, so the boss takes such a fancy to him and hopes to train him to become the seventeenth boss of the Black Street. ”
"Whatever, but wouldn't it be a good thing to have one more boss in the black street, so that we will be more idle!"
"Your heart is really big, you don't know the current situation of Boss Fit and Boss Hand, being squeezed out by the bosses of the main battle faction in the casino, and not getting the support of the emperor, our life will not be easy if it goes on like this......"
"It won't always be like this, let's make meritorious contributions, and when I am thirty-six years old, I will have the opportunity to enter the mysterious source, and it is a big deal to commit suicide in madness, you see that no matter how hard Boss Fitt is, won't his life be more comfortable than ours?"
"Tsk, you're such an optimist. ”
The black suit smoked violently, expressing his opinion in the clouds.
"The chances of losing my mind are so high, I still want to enjoy the rest of my life......"
"My dream is to be a manager in a casino in Makhnora, save more to find a good woman to start a family, and never expose future generations to mystical powers. ”
"I'm going crazy with everything I come into contact with every day now......"
It was rare for the flower bow tie not to speak, he sat in the place where the little girl had laid, his face looked dull in the yellow light, and he did not intend to refute the black suit's plan for the future.
The little girl is nowhere to be found, and her rabbit doll is nowhere to be found.
Suddenly, there was the sound of horses' hooves clattering from the window, and the black suit instantly jumped up from the sofa and ran to the window.
"The carriage of those two Devourer Alliance members we met in Naya?"
"Isn't it the Gluttonous Alliance?"
"Whatever, the names of those organizations confuse me, but they only came at night to get a piece of the pie with us. ”
The black suit snuffed out the cigarette butt and bounced it into the fireplace, and now it was necessary for them to meet up with the fat boss and report what they had just found during the inspection.
"Do you want to call Cliff out to pick up the guests?"
"Leave him alone, he'd better not get involved in this, I hate dealing with wizards the most. ”
The black suit pushed the door out, but saw a shadow in the darkness rapidly approaching and expanding, turned around instantly, and closed the door tightly with a bang.
"Hey, that thing seems to be out again!"
"Come over here and help me, it still seems to be calling and talking!"
The flower bow tie frowned and jumped up, reaching the black suit at the speed of sound, and replaced him to take the doorknob before the words landed, and the floor in front of the sofa in the living room was broken.
But no one paid attention to the old floor, they looked out the window into the dark window, and the black suit had already pulled out a gun and aimed it at the black silhouette that was constantly shaking and expanding outside the window!
"Damn shadow creatures, in no time you'll be treated with pleasure more thrilling than burning!"
"No, wait a minute, it's not a shadow monster, I seem to know this size, no, it seems to be more ...... than I know"
Flower Tie frowned, hesitantly holding the muzzle of the black suit to calm him down, and he looked more closely against the glass at the silent dark ......
"Strange, that's like...... It seems to be John!"
"John has the boss on his back!"
"Open the door, open the door and let them in!"
The black suit was not sure about the words of the bow tie, and tried to go into the darkness, and he finally saw John's big face, twisted together and running towards the villa!
He hurriedly opened the door, and John rushed into the villa, falling in a panic, still crawling inward......
"Close, close the door!"
"Lock the door!
John lay on the ground and shouted, his eyes wide like the incongruous eyeballs of the battle angel Alita, with deep fear in terror, and his fat body froze on the ground.
He swallowed desperately, his fat belly trembling, his right hand pointing out of the window, and his rapid breathing was not calm until this moment......
The fat boss and John fell to the ground together, but he lay there motionless like an unconscious corpse, and did not react to the fat man pressing on him.
The flower bow tie immediately locked the door, and always had a revolver to watch out the window, there was no moon or starlight, and the manor, which was completely shrouded in darkness, was only the constant sound of horses' hooves coming to the villa, but the carriage was not seen for a long time.
The black suit quickly ran to the fat boss's side, dragging his arm to help the fat boss onto the sofa.
"Damn, what's wrong with the boss, what's going on?"
"What did you guys encounter out there?"
"Monsters, there are ...... No, I don't know what it is, what exactly is that?"
Faced with the questioning of the black suit, the fat man who was sitting on the ground finally came back to his senses, but he still stumbled and couldn't say a complete sentence for a long time.
The black suit has a deeper dislike for John, and he even thinks that the fat boss has wasted all his efforts to cultivate such a wreck, and it is better to cultivate himself.
Even if the potential is better, what can he do, but it's just luck, and his brain and heart are still far behind!
Just as everything is in fear of the unknown, the flower bow tie and the black suit want to get more details out of the mouth of Fat John, and try to check the body of the fat boss......
The fire suddenly flickered and dimmed!
The inexplicable pressure instantly enveloped the black street boy, and the increase in the power of the dark night on the shadow has been clearly felt by every black street boy at this moment......
"Hey, Boss Fett is asleep?"
"You seem to need help, is there anything I can do to help you?"
Low, delicate and magnetic voices echoed, and all those who were still awake searched around to know where the sound was coming from.
His heart flutters involuntarily, and under the pressure of unfamiliar circumstances and unfamiliar fears, John continues to show his weakness and fear of the outside door that is difficult to describe in words.
A few drops of ink dripped from the roof, ticking, ticking......
Just when one thought that a man would emerge from the rooftop, a man came out of a gloomy corner ignored by the firelight, with the gentlest smile on his face, but his brows furrowed together, as if he were smiling very hard.
For some reason, the black suit was uneasy about the man's arrival, especially when he saw the man's eyes full of fanatical longing......
"Mr. Cliff, it looks like you're awake. ”
"So you're calling us for dinner now, I forgot to tell you in advance that I don't like green peppers. ”
The flower bow tie turned around quietly, grinning at Bill head-on, and even turned his back to the door, and the hand holding the revolver seemed to slacken, making others think that he had let his guard down.
"Oh, it's time to eat, but I forgot to do your part, what should I do now?"
"Then don't bother you, we'll cook our own ......"
"Hey, hehe, it's not troublesome, but if you're really in trouble, you can tell me, and I'll help you solve it. ”
Bill kept moving forward, and his extreme smile made the black suit creepy, and he didn't know where to put his hand, but the fat boss was lying on the sofa behind him, and the black suit would never dare to let Cliff approach.
John finally got up from the ground, he had never seen Bill with such a hideous face, and he unconsciously stepped back.
In his impression, the seemingly indifferent Bill, the man who struggled between life and death, had completely become a complete stranger to John.
If it had been this Bill at the time, he would not have been able to leave the Cripples alive, John thought very sure of this, and secretly swallowed his saliva again.
The shadow that Bill left in his heart definitely didn't disappear after two explosions.
When Bill walks up to the unconscious fat boss, he stretches out his gloved hand and tries to touch it, which is used to tell if the fat boss is really faint or fake.
The black suit clenched the gun nervously, and just as he wanted to yell at Bill to back off, John quickly crawled to the couch and sat on the wooden floor with his legs leaning on it.
"Mr. Cliff, what the hell do you keep in your storehouse!"
"Will it enter the villa?"
John's question grabs everyone's attention at the same time, turning the strange feeling that rises from Bill into a fear of the unknown.
"Ah, you said that thing......"
"Yes, what exactly is in my warehouse, I also want to know, why don't we go and see it together!"
Of course, Bill didn't know what was in there, and he didn't care at all at the moment, all he knew was that the fat guy who was in the way finally lost consciousness and fell there with a frown, as if he was having a long, terrifying nightmare.
"No, don't!"
"I must not take another half step out of this villa, it is too dangerous outside, and I will leave with the boss tomorrow during the day!"
John was terrified when he mentioned the outside of the villa.
However, he didn't see anything, except that after the fat boss opened the wooden door of the warehouse first, before he could see what was happening, it was suddenly completely dark.
When the flame in his hand illuminated the square inch size, he saw that the fat boss was already lying on the ground, no matter how he screamed, he couldn't wake up, but the subtle expression on the fat boss's face and his heartbeat and breathing showed that he was still alive.
Immediately afterward, he suddenly heard a noise in the warehouse, and the fat boss was lying at the entrance of the warehouse, which inevitably made John think that he would be attacked if he entered the warehouse.
As he slowly pulled the fat boss out of the warehouse, the sound inside was even stronger!
The intense uneasiness and the restless fluctuations in the air made John pick up the fat boss on his back and fly up and run towards the most conspicuous light source in this darkness, and when the relative movement brought the oncoming wind, it seemed that something really appeared behind him that was chasing after him!
He tried to turn back, but the endless darkness behind him completely lost him sight and direction, and he turned his head in horror to stare at the life-saving fire in front of him.
The muscular eruption hidden beneath the fat meat, stacked on top of each other by John and the fat boss, like a double-decker steam wagon, can simply be described as a behemoth!
And when he entered the range of light, the feeling of being chased by something disappeared, and only the joy and respite after escaping the darkness remained......
Suddenly!
The door of the villa was slammed open by the horse, the deadbolt crackled and fell on the wooden floor, the poor horse was covered in blood, and the foodie man fell forward from the coachman's position.
The sudden wind poured into the villa, blowing the manor, which had been silent for a long time, to the ground, and no one knew why the wind suddenly rose, perhaps because of the arrival of the night, or because of the arrival of uninvited guests.
The frenzied wind blew the fire in the villa, and the flower bow tie dragged the foodie man and the dead horse into the villa, and checked the inside of the cart, but found no black frames.
He took a few nails out of his pocket, and suddenly came to John's side, and directly removed the hammer he pinned to his waist, and repaired the broken deadbolt.
"Mr. Cliff, what the hell is going on!"
"We need your explanation!"
The black suit was excitedly placed in front of the fat boss, and his questioning seemed to have no strength at the moment, but Bill suddenly turned around and added firewood to the fireplace, lighting the warm fireplace.
"Do you see anything in this house?"
"What...... So there should be something strange here?"
Faced with Bill's inexplicable question, the black suit began to ask loudly, and although the loud voice did not represent the truth, it at least expressed momentum to a certain extent.
"No, it's nothing, but you'd better stop wandering around tonight, and if you stumble into a place you shouldn't, you'll be wiped out. ”
"Hey, hey, hey......"
Bill couldn't control his laughter, and they popped straight out of his throat with a screeching ear that visibly squeezed his vocal cords.
"I see, Mr. Cliff, but please tell our boss what's wrong with him first!"
"As long as you tell us the way to revive the boss, we will leave the manor tomorrow during the day, and we will definitely not trouble Lord Cliff again!"
