Chapter 46: Nightmares

"They've brought the vampires," the young man hurriedly raised his fishing gun, his face full of anger at the realization that he had been betrayed. (Please remember our website)

"Wait" Tarrant pushed away the gun and stood in front of Katrina, "She's our teammate, she just needs help"

The young man's fishing gun was aimed at Tarrant's chest, "You are just stupid adventurers who don't know anything about this here"

The village chief looked at the four of them, "You must have been attacked. ”

The sharp silver spear was aimed at Tarrant's heart, and Tarrant spread his hands, "Calm down, we're here to help the fishing village, can you put your weapons down?"

Those eyes were fixed on Tarrant, as if they wanted to see the affirmation of justice in Tarrant's eyes.

"They are the hope of the village," the village chief advised, "and only they can change the situation." ”

The young man slowly put down the fishing gun, and he acquiesced to the village chief's words, "It's too late, what else can be changed......"

"We've fought vampires, tell us what you know, and maybe, we can think of a solution," Tarrant cloaked Katrina.

"You can't do anything, even she will be one of them," the young man's spear snapped at the mage.

It was a silver-plated weapon, and Tarrant stood in the middle, "Put the weapon away first, we're very experienced in dealing with trouble." ”

"You know what?" the young man shouted angrily, "she will wake up tonight, she will tear your throat and suck the blood she will have to kill before she wakes up"

"No we have a solution", Tarrant cried out, "just pray for her in the temple and the gods will redeem her"

The fishermen looked at each other in astonishment, they could not be sure of such a thing, and the young man looked at the village chief, who looked at the others with the same puzzled looks.

"A patrol will be on the island this morning, and the mages and priests of Wilsing will be following shortly," Tarrant continued to assure the fishermen, "and this man beside me is Conasius, the commander of the Wilsin vigilante, and now tell us what you know." ”

The village chief looked at the villagers, "It seems that the adults of Wilsin already know about the situation here, and we have been saved"

"Before that," Kira Veton walked up to the village chief, "wouldn't mind sharing your food and water?"

"Of course not," the village chief said, glancing at the villagers behind him, and the women took out their food, pickled dried fish, "and that's all we have left." ”

"Why are these people left?" Tarrant counted the number of people slightly, and it was around one hundred and twenty, half the number compared to the figure provided by National Geographic.

"Dead, missing," sighed the village chief, "since they appeared, the people of the village have disappeared one after another, and it was not until we curled up in this hut every night that things got better. ”

"Why don't you report the situation to Wilsin in time?" Connasius wondered.

"We sent fishing boats three times, but there was no response, and the villagers did not come back...... "Everyone bowed their heads, feeling sorry for the deceased, and two girls could not hold back tears.

"The last time I landed on the island was in the Melting Snow Moon, and there was nothing unusual at that time," Conasius asked.

"A qiē happened after the melting snow, strange diseases, grave digging, wolf howling, disappearances, resurrections, fights", the village chief recalled, "The nightmare of Jilu Island began ...... the snowmelt moon"

"Tell me more," Tarrant sat down, taking the dried fish and water.

"It was at the end of the snowmelt month, the weather began to warm up, but our best fisherman here died suddenly, he was a young man, he was in very good health, with his physique enough to go to war, we don't know what disease he died of, but the process was very fast, almost from the beginning of the feeling of discomfort he collapsed on the bed, at that time he did not have a fever, but the whole body was cold, we did not realize that he could be so sick, nor did we send him to the church in Wilsing, as a result, he left in only three days, and the village made a coffin for him according to customSpeaking of this, the village chief paused, "We will bury the old and the deceased, and the young people will make coffins, they are full of nostalgia for the world, and they really should not leave." ”

Tarant nodded, he understood why some of the tombs in the cemetery were filled with coffins and some were burials, and the village chief started with the matter of Melting Snow Moon to prove that the person who died suddenly was directly related to the whole thing, that the fisherman was sick and died, he noticed.

"Just a few days after we buried him, the rest of the village fell ill one after another, in the same condition, with chills all over their bodies, but at different times, one girl died in just one day. ”

That must have happened around the end of the snowmelt month, and Tarrant combined what he saw in the cemetery and asked, "Was it concentrated during that time?"

The village chief nodded, "Now that strange disease seems to be gone, we still don't know how it came to be infected. ”

The team had already seen the grave after the snowmelt moon in the cemetery, the bodies were gone, and it seemed that the first to have problems were the fishermen who had died of illness, "And then?"

"Usually we rarely go to the cemetery, when we went to bury the second person, we were surprised to find that the first coffin was dug up, such a terrible thing had never happened on the island, we were very angry at that time, we didn't know who would do this, there were only these people on this island, it was a prank, the villagers searched all over the nearby woods, but they didn't find the body, we had to re-bury the coffin", the village chief kept recalling, " It got even worse, and every time we went back to the cemetery, the grave was dug up again, and not only that, but the graves of those who died of illness were all dug up, and all the bodies were missing."

"How long has this been going on?"

"It didn't take long for us to panic because of the continued sickness and death, so we cut back on fishing and going to sea, and then the strange disease didn't appear again, and just when we were a little relieved, one night, someone heard a wolf howl," the village chief looked back at the crowd.

A couple of emaciated girls www.biquge.info their heads, "Yes, it's the sound of wolves at night after the strange illness"

Tarrant speculated, "It was possible that the wolf dug up the tomb and ate the corpse, and the timing coincided." ”

"At first, we thought so, but there are no wolves on our island," the village chief looked at Conasius, "Sir, there are no such animals on the island. ”

Conasius affirmed.

"Very good question," interrupted Kira Veton, "why can you distinguish the sounds of animals you've never seen before?"

"We didn't know it was a wolf until ...... Later I saw them", and after seeing that the team had no doubts, the village chief continued to narrate: "After that, something even more terrible happened, our villagers disappeared, never before, the area of the island is not large, we searched the nearby forest the next day, and found nothing, and then others disappeared, and the situation became more and more frequent, and several people in our village disappeared in a row. ”

"Did you start contacting Wilsin at that time?" Tarrant interjected.

"Yes, we need the vigilantes to investigate the strange things here, the cries of wild beasts, and the disappearances, but the boy didn't come back after he went to sea, and the vigilantes didn't come. ”

It's puzzling, and Tarrant can't guess what must have happened during the four-hour trip on the water.

"The disappearances continue, and we have to organize some manpower to prevent this from happening again", the village chief bowed his head sadly, "If we could have found them earlier, there wouldn't have been so many ......" The old man choked up, "I asked the young people of the village to organize a night patrol, they were guarding near the lighthouse, and one night, they claimed to have seen a fight in the distance, and there were figures fighting, and it was on that night that everyone in the village heard the wolf howl. ”

Tarrant and Conasius looked at each other and turned to the village chief, "Someone hunting wolves?"

"No, the children only see human forms, no animals, people are fighting", the village chief left a moment for the team to think, and continued: "The people on the island live in the fishing village, we can't understand who is participating in the fight, we guess that a group of thugs broke into our home, and after that night we intensified the night patrol, and all the young people had to take turns. But the disappearances did not stop, our wooden house was destroyed, the whole family was missing, there were bloodstains and fights everywhere, and the evil deeds became more and more severe, and we could not bear such things any longer, and sent two ships in a row to Wilsing...... The most terrible thing happened, our night patrol team was all missing, before dawn, the sleeping villagers heard the crackling of the fire, we rushed out, only to see the burned lighthouse, the fishing boats parked on the beach and the village were all destroyed, we could not find the young people who were on the night patrol that night, they ...... All are missing. ”

The young man who clutched the fishing spear looked at Katrina hostilely, "I've seen them they appear like the wind, we can't resist"

"Yes. We all realized that the village was no longer safe, those demons destroyed our house, only this party hut was big enough, all the people in the village moved here, we reinforced the house, every night we watched the situation outside, there were wolf tracks nearby, we saw the figures on the tips of the trees, their laughter made the children tremble in their dreams. ”

"So...... You're already trapped on the island, and you're trapped in this cabin," Tarrant asked.

"So to speak," the village chief looked out of the window, "you should have noticed when you landed on the island, there was not a single fishing boat in the village, there was no lighthouse, we tried to rebuild the fishing boats, but at night they would come and destroy our efforts. ”

Last night's fog affected the view, and the team didn't pay attention to it, and Tarrant admitted that he had ignored the irrationality of the phenomenon, and the fishing village didn't even have boats.

"As we moved into the hut, the dangerous monsters raged even more, they often stopped in the clearing, and looked here without any scruples, until one bright night, we could not see their faces clearly, oh my God, you can't imagine how we were feeling, they were dead children, they were missing villagers, I was almost out of breath, they showed their wolf-like teeth, they stopped at the door hungrily, begging us to open it, oh my God, I buried them with my own hands, and they were standing alive in front of the window, I saw tawny nails on the wallThe village chief stared at the windowsill, remembering that scene that still made his hands tremble with excitement, and the corners of his eyes twitched.

Tarrant put down the dried fish in his hand, "That's when you found out that your opponent was a dead companion?"

"They are not companions" the young man replied in disgust: "They are beasts"

"It's as if they've lost their true nature, those children used to be so cute,...... village chief paused, "if it weren't for the fight, maybe everyone on this island would have been killed." ”

"Fighting, who's helping the villagers resist?" said Tarrant saw hope.

"It's not about helping us, we're just helpless food", the village chief shook his head, "it's a fight between werewolves and vampires." ”
