Chapter 8: The Dangerous Tone
"I really didn't expect it, Lyle-san turned out to be a vampire, it's the first time I've seen a real vampire, hey, Lyle-san, tell me more about vampires........."
Lyle crossed his legs, his hands behind his head, and closed his eyes to ignore the talker beside him. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ο½iqugeγ ο½ο½fo
"Hey, Xiaofei, don't embarrass people anymore. The love on the side stepped forward and pulled the ear of the boy named Xiaofei and said loudly.
"Wow, you're always so rough. β
Suzu looked at the two people who were fighting, and couldn't help but let out a knowing smile, it's good to have a quiet life, that kind of thing that is invaded by monsters is really stimulating the heart, Suzu who thought like this looked around at the other people present, Xiao Fan was discussing something with Sayuri, although he didn't know the theme, but he could see their happy mood from their expressions, and there were two people sitting in the back.
In addition to the Lin who talked to Ling in order to ask about Xiaofan, there was also a boy named Kai, his first impression was that this person was not like a student, to be honest, Kai is very tall, and he is also very strong, and the muscles on his body can also see the outline through the clothes, which can only be described as a tiger's back and bear's waist, according to his own account, it seems that because he is a mixed-race child, he has half of the blood of foreigners, so he grows more fierce.
Three men and four women, that's all the people sitting in the bus.
As early as a few days ago, Suzu made an appointment to go to the resort with everyone, and the time of the holiday happened to coincide with the resort's preferential activities, so the schedule was set for these days, although there were six people going at the beginning, but Lyle's arrival was really beyond Suzu's expectations, and all the helplessness brought this vampire over.
But what surprised Suzu was that he was obviously an anomaly, and everyone didn't have any fear of Lyle, but the relationship was developing quite quickly, maybe it was really because of the temperament he exuded from him that he felt that he was a good person, in fact, after Suzu knew about Lyle's vampire that night, compared to the monster that attacked him, he didn't have much fear except for surprise.
Noon.
"Ah, it's so refreshing to take a hot spring bath. Xiao Fei sighed in a tone that contained a sense of happiness.
The group walked out of the open-air bath in bathrobes, and after half an hour of bumpy mountain roads, this hot spring really made everyone feel refreshed and tired.
"Ah, I'm sorry. Hearing this, Lyle turned his head to see that a middle-aged man was making an embarrassed look and apologizing to the bell, probably accidentally bumped into it.
Looking at the man carefully, Lyle actually vaguely felt a strange aura from him that could not be described in words, but it was only at that moment that the man was wearing a huge light blue coat, his fluffy beige hair was particularly conspicuous, and the stubble on his face gave people a sense of decadence and obscenity, but there seemed to be a sense of mystery lingering in it.
"What's wrong, Lyle. After saying goodbye to the middle-aged man, Suzu saw that Lyle's gaze was still fixed on the man.
"It's nothing, maybe I'm thinking too much. β
Time passed quickly, and I don't know how many pairs of birds chirped and flew across the sky, and the afterglow of the setting sun gradually took over all the positions in the sky.
Lyle sat on the balcony of the inn, looking out at the distant scenery and a beautiful tune echoing around the room.
"It's a nice tune, it's an artist invited here. Suzu said as she walked to Lyle's side with a light step and sat down. "It's been peaceful these last few days, no enemy has attacked, and the house has been repaired in no time. β
"Yes, but we still can't take it lightly, we don't know what kind of means the enemy will use, so we can't let ourselves go too lax. β
"I see, Lyle is really verbose sometimes, like an old man. Suzu replied impatiently.
"I'm really sorry for being so long-winded. Lyle also fights back at Suzu's poisonous tongue with playful words. That's how a dull day passed.
The sky was slowly dyed with pitch black paint, and the moon was also under the cover of dark clouds, and there was no stars in the night sky, which looked particularly monotonous.
"It seems that tonight is destined to be another ominous night. The beige-haired middle-aged man stood under an old pine tree outside the hotel and muttered to himself, stroked the yellow bark with his hand, and turned into the woods behind him, his black figure blending into the night.
The strange sound of the flute "Woo ~~~~~~" sounded in the middle of the night, and the strange notes danced, like a fierce beast hidden in the night, plunging the whole resort into a strange atmosphere.
Suzu was awakened by the sound of a flute in the distance, but her consciousness was still in a blur, she straightened up, glanced at the boys on the other side, everyone was still in the dream and did not wake up, nothing strange happened, and then glanced around again.
"Huh?"
Whoever is on the left side of Suzu is in love and Sayuri's bed is empty.
"It's so late. Where will it go, the toilet is not lit. β
"Squeak-" The door of the house was open, and under the action of the wind coming from outside the house, it shook back and forth, making a sound, but this sound caused a bad feeling to inexplicably well-up in Suzu's heart.
Suzu got out of bed, dressed up, and walked out of the hotel, the moon had somehow broken away from the dark clouds, but the light was still dim, and it was strange.
"The red moon?" Suzu glanced up at the sky, the moon that was supposed to be as bright as jasper was now covered with a layer of blood-red veil on the surface, which made Suzu not only tremble.
"Woo~~~" The flute sounded again, the tone was sharper than before, and even a little stinging nerves, and the bell seemed to be conjuring and walked along the source of the sound.
Something, something seemed to be in that place, where the flute sounded, what was it? Suzu thought as her feet moved forward as if they had been controlled.
As the sound of the flute grew louder and clearer, Suzu felt that her consciousness was becoming more and more blurred, but her feet were still moving, and she had completely disobeyed her own calls.
"Be careful, Suzu-san. Another voice came into Suzu's ears and went straight to her brain, so loud that it overpowered the effect of the flute on her, and Suzu came to her senses, and before she knew it, she should have been led by the sound of the flute to the depths of the woods outside the inn.
With the shout just now, a figure also rushed over, pushed the bell away, and several darts slashed through the air, passed where the bell was just now, and landed on the ground.
It took a few seconds for Suzu to react before she saw clearly that this was the identity of the person who came, wearing a nightgown with the same style as herself, wearing one eye under her thick straight black hair, and her slender figure showed that the other party was the same age as herself.
"Lin, why is he here?" After asking her own questions, Suzu saw through the dim moonlight, and this time there were several bloody cuts on Lin's left arm. "You're hurt! Is it because you just now?"
"This little wound is not a big deal, the key is why did you suddenly run out in the middle of the night, I was woken up by the sound you made, and I saw that you looked like you were being manipulated, and I followed you this time, but judging from the current situation, classmate Ling, are you being targeted by someone. Lin endured the hot pain in his arm and said nervously to the bell.
"Well, actually, for some reason, I've been in some strange trouble lately. β
"It's something to do with Lyle. β
"Yes. β
Sure enough, this strange state of affairs can only be associated with him as a vampire. β
"But why is it so easy for everyone to adjust to Lyle's identity? β
"One of the reasons is Classmate Fan's words, after all, she is not a girl who can tell lies, and again, since she is a trusted companion of Classmate Suzu, then I will follow and believe him. Lin suddenly grabbed Suzu's shoulders with both hands, narrowing the distance between himself and Suzu, and from those close eyes, an ambiguous look could be seen, which made Suzu a little overwhelmed.
"Ah, I'm sorry, I'm too excited," Lin let go of his hand, took a step back, straightened his eyes, and continued: "The last reason is just my guess, I think, everyone has experienced something strange, not to mention classmate Fan, classmate Lian was also present at the time, so it was easier for her to accept it later, I think Kai, or classmate Fei or Bai Xue should have experienced a similar experience." β
"Experience?"
"Well, in fact, when I was young, I saw with my own eyes the scene of demons eating people. At this point, Lin covered his mouth with his hand and retched a few times, and it could be seen that he was very disgusted by the scene he was talking about.
"What do you say!!"
"That's it, I don't want to mention it when I was a child, and now is not the time to gossip. β
"Again, we are in danger right now and we have to leave. β
"However, as I followed you, I found that the route you were taking was irregular, although I could think of the root cause being the sound of the flute, after all, I also seemed to be affected a little, and I still feel a little dizzy. So, in the current situation, we don't know the route to go back, and if we run around in the forest, we are more likely to encounter danger, so the top priority now is to determine a one-hop route to act. β
After listening to Lin's words, Ling couldn't help but admire the other party in his heart, he really has a strong ability to judge and think, and at a critical juncture, he can also analyze the situation with a calm mind, which is really not to be underestimated.
"I understand, since Lin is working so hard, I have to do something. After saying that, Suzu closed her eyes, clenched her fists, took a deep breath, and then exhaled slowly, and her heart calmed down, "Lin, I'm going to do one thing next, and again, you should pay attention to whether anything around you is attacking again." β
Lin could hear the firmness in Ling's words, and knew that she was serious, although he didn't know what she wanted to do, but he still wanted to believe her. He nodded, counted as a response, and then picked up a broken branch next to him to use as a weapon, fully focusing.
Feel, feel the magic that Lyle exudes, that familiar feeling, familiar taste, strong mixed with gentleness, sharp and warm magic, that kind of green magic.
Suzu meditated silently in her heart, at this moment, her consciousness seemed to be combined with the woods, every corner of the flowers, flying insects, every big tree, every sleeping animal, she could feel their existence, even the particles in the atmosphere, she could also vaguely identify, and then, in this vast area, in Suzu's mind gradually turned into a map, and in one of the maps, the field strength is the strongest, the particle movement in the air is the most intense, slowly a bright green light point appears.
"Found a location. Suzu suddenly opened her eyes and said loudly to Lin.
"Ling-san?" Lin hadn't reacted yet.
"Anyway, just follow me first. Before he finished speaking, Ling had already moved up and wanted to run in one direction, but Lin didn't think too much about it and hurriedly followed.
"Suzu-san, now you can explain. After running for a while, Lin asked.
"Well, it all started when I met Lyle. Suzu didn't look back, and continued to run forward, and then said a little bit about her encounter with Lyle, her own attack, and another world and her necklace.
"So many things have happened, I seem to understand, that is to say, because of that apocalypse fragment, the original sleeping magic on your body has also been activated, and the result of activation is to embody your powerful perception ability beyond ordinary people, and, because I have been with Lyle-san for a while, I am very familiar with the magic on his body, so I felt the location of Lyle-san through my perception just now, and at the same time determined the location of our hotel, which is really amazing, Suzu-san. β
"Actually, it's nothing. Suzu scratched her head in embarrassment.
"A-"
Just as the two of them were gassing hopefully, there was a sound in front of them.
When I walked in, several trees seemed to have been broken by something, and they all fell to the ground, blocking the way forward.
"Looks like we're going to have to take a long detour. Lin muttered, his tone full of anxiety.
"Lin, be careful, I can feel a very dangerous magic approaching. β
The two looked back to back, in different directions, trying to find the enemy.
"Classmate Ling, can't you perceive the other party's accuracy and unknown?"
Suzu shook her head regretfully, "No, I can only vaguely feel that an unknown magic is hiding around, and we can only concentrate." β
"That's a real problem. Lin wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
At this time, the hearts of both of them were in their throats.
The long night was not over, the moon was still hanging directly above, and an unknown threat was constantly looming over the two of them.
(Today, it is estimated that only the second watch can be done, and the third watch is a little reluctantββγ οΌ
