The ringing of the quaint bronze bell in the church bell tower startled the flock of birds huddled inside the bell tower with nowhere to go. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 The thick and solemn sound of the bell echoed in the air within a radius of hundreds of miles, and settled into every corner of Momiji City, like a lullaby to lull a baby to sleep, sending Momiji City into a dream. Silence, tranquility, are the main colors of the city at this moment, although somewhere in the shadows there is a drama between demons.

Contrary to this quiet atmosphere, there is another place.

The streets of the night were deserted, and at the crossroads, which were shrouded in darkness, suddenly two bright white lights flashed, like two shining swords, piercing the night and shattering the empty evening breeze. A red Lamborghini Revent drove around the streets and on the asphalt road, the tires spinning at a speed that would have been impounded during the day, leaving two black scorch marks on the road, and the road smelled like a freshly lit grill.

Xiao Fan sat on the sofa in the co-pilot's seat, put his body into the soft seat, and wrapped his hands around his knees, the current season still did not ask for the constraints of the heat, but she was chilled, the cold wind of the air conditioner in the car seemed to be blowing out of the cold polar region, Xiao Fan looked at the air conditioner in front of him, his eyes were blank, as if he was looking at a deep black hole.

Her weak body trembled, she knew that she was not afraid of the cold, nor that she had seen something terrible, she was just worried about the safety of some people at the moment.

Seth glanced at her secretly, and felt that she was now like an extremely restless kitten, and there was only a long silence and silent darkness coming from the back seat behind him, and he suddenly felt that the atmosphere in the car was very restless, and the oppressive air would make people suffocate themselves. Seth turned on the switch of the audio equipment next to him, and the lines representing the rhythm on the screen, which had been in a straight state, jumped like a group of beasts that had suddenly been awakened.

"Hey, I said gentlemen and ladies, you can actually get up at will in my car, don't just keep your mouth shut, it's very uncomfortable to be so quiet, listening to music is actually a good choice, this song, "Date.Alive", is very good. ”

"Uncle Seth, now is not the time to be in the mood to listen to music, Suzu and Lyle are still uncertain, please hurry up. Lin poked his head out of the black in the back seat and said.

"Hey, I'm going to be detained at this speed during the day, and my car is running out of gas. ”

"Which is more expensive, human life or gas money?" said Lin, grimacing.

"Human life. ”

"Now that you know, hurry up—" Lin let out a pop sound at Seth's eardrums.

"I said you don't just think about your crush. Seth said as he pulled out a hand and rubbed his aching ear.

Lin's face turned red, his head immediately retracted, he hid in the dark, and said hesitantly: "Don't be kidding, both of them are my friends, and I don't discriminate my worries about their safety." ”

"But why didn't Lyle call us along. Another voice came from the darkness, Kai's voice.

"Maybe he just wants to prove that he has the ability to protect the bell, or maybe he just doesn't want you to get you closer to danger, but all in all, his actions are indeed too reckless, lack of planning, and the success rate is very low, after all, the enemy is strong and he is weak, the enemy is dark and he is clear, alas, children of this age are too impulsive. "But he knew that he was a little self-aware of pulling me with him before the operation, but I really had something important to do during that time." Seth shrugged.

"Uncle Seth, after listening to your words, I think if something really happens to the two of them, you should be more at fault. Lin said strangely.

"Hey, please don't call me a villain-like character, haven't I been working hard, not only solving the matter in my hands super quickly, but also notifying you in time, otherwise we are not on the road to run wildly, but waiting for their bad news tomorrow on the soft bed. Seth retorted.

The blue-white light flashed instantly, and the sharp edge pointed at Seth's head, Lin held the bow of light and said, "Please don't talk nonsense at this tense time. ”

Although he knew he was joking, Seth still cooperated with a scared expression and said "I know I was wrong".

"Hopefully it's too late. Xiao Fan muttered, she panicked in her heart, although she didn't have the extraordinary perception of Suzu, but she did have a very uneasy premonition, and she always felt that something bad had happened.

The quaint bronze walls, illuminated by a withered yellow shimmer, retreated behind the old man, who tightened the outer black and red outer cover that covered his entire body, and the blood dripping from the top of his head turned into clusters of crown-shaped "splashes" on his body. The frequency of blood droplets falling is increasing at a rapid rate with the old man's non-stop forward pace, which was originally just the extent of the dew drops sliding on the tips of lotus leaves after the rain, but after a short period of time, it turned into a pouring of rain, vicissitudes. The red water stains formed small ditches in the wrinkles of his face, and the blood-red rain weaved layers of rain curtains in this not wide corridor, "washing" the old man's body and washing his coat, but the old man's grim expression did not change at all, like a sage who had just walked out of the world, a pair of red pupils were unusually dazzling, and the eye-catching red light was outside, as if two holy flames that would never be extinguished, retaining the last bit of heat in this real bloody rain, although it was two hot hands.

The old man's pace slowed, but he still had no intention of stopping, the edge of the water had risen below his knees, and the blood was piling up and flowing like a river.

I don't know how long I walked, and suddenly the shape of a door appeared in the darkness ahead, not the outline of the light, but it could attract people's eyes, as if a scarlet mixed with pitch-black viscous gel had been pinched into the shape of a door, and the surface of the door was patterned like the rings of trees.

The old man did not say a word, and his footsteps did not stop, he stretched out his left hand, and the withered skin was like rotten bark, which was a testament to the long years.

The light in the old man's eyes flowed, and in the next moment, the strange door was like a branch about to break, cracked, turned into many black and red pearl-like balls and scattered, falling into the river of blood below, splashing many "splashes", like the devil's hot pot feast.

At the same time as the gate broke, the river under the old man's feet suddenly increased its speed, from the previous trickle to a surging tide, the river was turbulent, like a raging herd of beasts.

When the old man walked out of the door, there was a huge empty space in front of him, surrounded by endless darkness, and occasionally the blood light in the shape of an aurora flashed, this place was like a chaotic world without borders.

The old man stopped, at this moment he had his feet off the ground, wonderfully suspended in mid-air, the river of blood behind him had turned into a waterfall and landed when he rushed out of the gate, like a collapsed heavenly river descending to the mortal world, and the blood-red rough water column rushed into the endless darkness like an abyss below.

In front of it is a stone altar floating in the air, three layers, the area decreases from the bottom to the top, from above, it is a triple concentric circle, like a ritual platform for sacrifice, the top layer has a huge cross, red shading and black lace, inlaid with countless dark gold gems, a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy is nailed to it by several black and red iron. The nails sank into his skin, and several long chains were tied around the boy's body, and the entire chain emitted a dazzling blood light, and the ends extended into the darkness around him, as if he were one with the darkness.

The boy was in a coma, his eyes were closed, his face was bloodless, and his silver-white hair was as white as dry bones at the moment, like a living dead whose soul had been robbed.

The old man floated up to the boy and stared at the boy's face, which was none other than the man he had met before, Lyle Plath.
