"Have you ever heard of the Black Banshee?"

The flames in the brazier in the tavern swayed in the evening breeze, and the orange fire shone on the wrinkled face of the old tramp, and with his cloudy eyes, an eerie and terrifying aura came over his face.

The homeless people around listened intently, and some couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva.

Surrounded by everyone, the old tramp slowly spoke:

"Legend has it that every even-numbered day of the week, in the middle of this mountain of garbage, after 27 o'clock in the night, there will be a dark-skinned and beautiful banshee roaming the inconspicuous paths, and it will tempt every man who passes there, dig out the man's heart after a night of pleasure, and finally eat the corpse whole, and there is no ............ left."

The old man recounted the legends that had been circulated in the last five years, and this strange legend was undoubtedly very much appreciated by the homeless, and they began to rush to express their opinions.

"I heard that just a few days ago, Will, who wanted to be a soldier every day, disappeared at night, and he was ............."

"Don't talk about it, Will was hacked to death by the boss of the rotten teeth with an axe, everyone in the East knows this very well, and it has nothing to do with the Black Banshee"!

"Do you think the black banshee looks so good-looking, is there any comparison with those noble ladies in the city?"

"What if there is something, it's not a ............"

Seeing that the homeless people were discussing the black banshee who didn't know whether it was true or not, Jack, who loved to brag, was the first to stand it, you know, when he used to brag, when was he not surrounded by a group of people and asked around, when he was ignored like this, so he planned to do something to save his "prestige".

"Hey, y'all come here, I'm going to announce a big thing"!

Jack stood up and spoke loudly through the cold, but the other homeless people were so interested in it that no one paid any attention to him.

Seeing such a result, Jack's face turned red with anger, and he hurriedly continued:

"I'm telling you, I, the great Jack, are going to find this Black Banshee today and get her back for everyone's fun, I mean really, I'm not bragging!"

When he said this, even Jack himself was startled, and he felt a little regretful at the time, but at this time, the other homeless people had already seen it, and those who watched the excitement didn't care about Jack's embarrassment, and they immediately started to talk about it.

"Yo, Jack, I'm so angry, I don't want to soak in the lady in the city"?

"Also catch the black banshee, the black banshee has to scratch you to death with a claw when she sees your virtue."

"Silly Jack, seriously, I don't want you to catch any black banshees, just today, if you dare to go to the alley where old Kai'Sa lives in the garbage mountain in the east, and get back a dead crow that old Kai'Sa hung on the door, I'll give you a silver coin"!

One of the homeless people who didn't deal with Jack was even more fanned, and the other homeless people also added fuel to the fire when they saw this scene, shouting that Jack was not allowed to refuse, otherwise he would be a coward who loves to brag.

Maybe it was a little more ale in the water in the tavern today, or maybe it was the coaxing of the crowd that suddenly had the effect of orc war drums, and Jack, who was ridiculed by everyone, did not sit back as usual, but suddenly shouted impulsively:

"Okay, Lao Tzu will go and get a dead bird back, if you meet any black banshee, Lao Tzu will also catch it for you to see, and then I hope that a certain Lai Pi will not rely on Lao Tzu's silver coins"!

With that, Jack jumped off the stone platform and stumbled out of the tavern.

Seeing this scene, the homeless people couldn't help but look at each other, they were just idle and bored, who would have thought that Jack would really go out to find some black banshee.

"I said it's not good for us to be like this, I've heard that a lot of people have gone missing recently............"

"Come on, those who are missing must have starved to death somewhere, who has nothing to do to arrest us homeless people?"

"Yes, yes, yes, and even if there is really a black banshee, it's still a good fortune, I've never tasted a woman in my life, and it's not in vain to have a monster before I die."

Speaking of this topic, all the homeless people were silent, and they silently watched Jack walk farther and farther away in the cold wind, not knowing what they were thinking.

No matter what the homeless man in the tavern was thinking, Jack was in a terrible mood at this time, after the cold wind blew, he also sobered up a lot from the impulse, now Jack's body and whole heart were trembling, he didn't want to go to any dark alleys at all, even if the black banshee was just a ghost story to be believed, there were often some terrible criminals hiding in those alleys.

But Jack was not willing to run home like this, he still remembered the silver coin he promised his opponent, it was a silver coin, how many homeless people have never seen a silver coin in their lives.

And among the homeless people, only gambling is not to be played, as long as Jack gets the dead raven from the door of old Kaisha, then he will really get a beautiful silver coin.

"Okay, isn't it just going to a small alley, when the time comes, Lao Tzu will drag a dead crow and run, Lao Tzu is the "fast-legged jack" of the year, even if there is really a black banshee, he can't catch up with me."

Unconsciously, the distance of the tavern was already far away, and Jack's heart was secretly ruthless, but the night and cold around him did not subside at all, and the dead night was like a big hand firmly holding all creatures in the palm of his hand.

Fear grew rapidly in Jack's heart, and unconsciously, he even forgot the Black Banshee, forgot the bet, and forgot the pile of cowhide he blew off, and now Jack only felt that he was being chased by an incomparably terrifying beast, and he involuntarily began to run wildly.

Running wildly, Jack has no ability to think, he no longer seems to have a sense of his surroundings, he doesn't even notice that he has run into the alley that all the homeless people avoid, and of course, he can't see the strange scene that is happening in the night.

At some point, a smiling black goblin appeared beside Jack, holding Jack's neck and refusing to let go, and the little monster with dark skin kept spitting out wisps of black mist from its cracked mouth.

The black mist writhed and bent through Jack's mouth and nose like a living snake, but Jack was not aware of the black mist he was breathing, and he was still stumbling into the depths of the alley, even if he was scratched by the tattered garbage around him in the process of running, he was not aware at all.

Eventually, Jack ran half-asleep to the end of the alley, and then stood motionless by the wall, and beside him stood two other "wooden men" with dull expressions, also motionless.

The black goblin smiled hideously and patted the heads of the three "prey", it was obvious that for this black goblin, this night was a good harvest night, since they were only allowed to hunt lone "prey", so it was already a good harvest to hunt three hungry people like tonight.

But just as the black goblin was about to jump off Jack's shoulder and bring the new "test subject" back to the base as usual, a mutation suddenly happened.
