.

"What, broken?"

"It won't be so unlucky, I've seen him see him many times before, I swear!"

John was even more surprised when he grew his mouth, seeing him like this, there should be no lie, and there is no need to lie, so the possibility of two watches being damaged at the same time......

"Bill, which way should we go now, isn't this your home, how can you be trapped?"

The fat man looked around with a frown, as if he was guarding against something in the dark, he was sweating, and his fat was trembling.

"It's been a long time since I've been home, it's a new ......"

"Let me think about it first, there is no way out of me, if you really stay where you are and don't move, then we can walk forward and see. ”

"If you're just coming from there, you'd better tell me directly to avoid wasting time and energy. ”

Bill replied calmly and casually walked forward, and the fat man followed behind with Boss Fett on his back.

I don't know how much time has passed, the darkness has not disappeared, but the candle in my hand is getting shorter and shorter, and the endless corridor leads straight into the distance, but there is no end in sight......

At the same time, Bill always had a strange feeling that he had come all the way to the present.

No, it's better to say that everything that happened from the very beginning of entering the Manor of Nardo was not normal, it was not like an ordinary witchcraft trap set just to protect the manor and Cheryl.

And at this moment, their location is even more strange, where the clock does not turn, it is pitch black, only the cold light source, the shadow of the creature...... Base camp?

"John also encountered that kind of humanoid shadow, so after the success of Cliff Sr.'s research, he also created a large number of shadow creatures. 」

"Also, if the fat man is true when he and Boss Fit suddenly fell into this area, then this place probably no longer belongs to the real world, that is, ......

"Is this a place similar to the shadow space or the shadow world?"

In a quick thought, Bill came up with a troublesome assumption that, based on his experience in the shadow world, was that danger lurked and that it was difficult to get out with a normal solution.

"There's no sky or deep sea here, so what's the principle of this space?"

Bill paused, pondering the most crucial question, alerting John to accidentally bump into his stiff body and ask nervously questions.

"Why, what's wrong, Bill, you just ......"

"Shhhh

The index finger was raised in front of his lips in a silent motion, and John immediately covered his mouth and nodded, knowing that Bill liked to think quietly.

The surrounding eerie scene was like the horrible mine they had been in, only it was even colder than the mine, and John could only rely on Bill at the moment.

Although his fear of the dark was cured in the casino at night, he had tried all means to try to leave before meeting Bill, because the feeling of being alone in the dark was only uneasy.

The nightmares that could burst out of the darkness at any moment also became a source of uneasiness that disturbed his mind.

In the dark, there are really monsters hidden!

Bill didn't know what John was thinking, for it had been too long for him to see darkness as something to be feared and feared, because once humans could see through it, darkness would no longer be a horror story.

And the reason why those demons and monsters who are forever hidden in the darkness need to be hidden is because they are more afraid of heat and light than humans are afraid of darkness!

「...... Why is a special candle used here?"

"That's right, why don't you choose special consumables here instead of ordinary candlestick lighting, could it be because of your wealth?"

"It's hot and bright, it's worth a try......

Bill finally came up with this not very clever solution, and even if he had come up with it, he would not have been able to set it on fire out of thin air, but it was different with John's presence.

Because he was carrying a Boss Fett, who smoked the same cigar as a certain man.

"Get me a box of matches, look for it right away, I remember he was a smoker, and he must have a fire on him. ”

"Oh, okay, leave it to me, don't worry!"

John nodded, and immediately put his hand into Boss Fit's pocket, and went to the meeting to fumble for it, and soon handed Bill a box of ordinary matches.

The cold passage tightly wrapped around the skin of the two men, it was not Bill's delusion, and the atmosphere in the darkness changed again from the time he said that he wanted John to find the source of fire for himself......

The pale face became more and more strange in the bleak white light, and after taking the matchbox and taking a match, the corners of Bill's mouth suddenly rose!

The dark red lips did not open, but the shadow holding the pitch-black dagger suddenly raised his hand and plunged the dagger into the air......

Yikes——!!!

A miserable scream of pain appeared out of thin air, like a purified female ghost, even John was shocked to the bone, goosebumps instantly spread all over his body, and he quickly took out his earbuds and put them on.

Bill, on the other hand, was quickly striking a match, casually taking out his clothes from the shadow space and lighting them, and throwing them in the direction where the sound appeared!

Strips of burning cloth streaked through the air, burning the darkness with light and heat, and the bright world that was close at hand was revealed to Bill and John.

The sound of swallowing saliva came from the throat of the fat man John, who was frozen in place, and his steps were unconsciously softened and staggered backwards.

And John became like this because the things he thought existed in the darkness really existed!

Densely packed with unknown things the size of mosquitoes, sheep-like monsters with three eyes, creptile crawlies with only torsos, and muddy mums covered with bloody mouths......

These strange creatures, which had never been seen or heard of, were also stunned for a moment, and looked at Bill and John stupidly, and suddenly ran into the darkness like a puff of smoke.

Only the monster with the shuttle head, stabbed by the pitch-black dagger, lay motionless on the ground, as if dead.

The monsters fled to a place where the fire did not reach, and when they melted into the darkness, they completely lost their form and merged with the shadows around them, which seemed even thicker......

The wind swished, and Bill turned and patted John on the shoulder, as if to reassure him.

"Calm down, those things in the shadows are also afraid of us, and now I guess those things are the basic elements that make up the darkness of this world, and normal flames are their nemesis. ”

"Uh-huh, I got ......"

John rubbed his eyes vigorously, wishing everything in front of him was an illusion, but the monsters, who couldn't tell what they were, were still twisting their torques and quickly returning to the darkness.

And the monsters that moved more slowly gradually changed shape in the firelight, and all of them were like boneless flesh and skin, all of them collapsed on the ground with black air.

The black gas illuminated by the firelight is also slowly disappearing, as if it has been evaporated into non-toxic water vapor.
