Chapter 8: The Shadow in the Curtain

"She's dead?" Charlene's eyes widened in astonishment, as if she couldn't believe the reality.

"Don't worry too much. ”

Yalei patted her on the shoulder and comforted, "It's so sad to be brutally killed when you are alive, and to be enslaved by evil things even when you die, but it's a good thing to die like this...... Besides......"

"And what?"

"Nothing. Knowing that there might be eyes and ears for the enemy all around, the black-haired knight suppressed his doubts.

"What about the stuff here?" Charlene asked hesitantly.

"Smash!" said Yalei without hesitation.

Before the words fell, the white curtains on both sides of the glass window fell suddenly, and the light in the room instantly became dim, and a coolness suddenly filled the space, which made the two a little uncomfortable.

"What's going on?" the green-haired girl walked to the floor-to-ceiling window in confusion and pulled the curtain back open, startled.

The floor-to-ceiling windows were dark outside, and the sunlight seemed to have been swallowed up by some kind of behemoth, and the originally sunny morning turned into a pitch-black night. By the starlight of the sky, she looked down closely, and found that Bagh and Grubi who were in the courtyard had disappeared, and there was nothing silently below, an eerie silence.

"With Bagh, they'll be fine. ”

The black-haired knight didn't worry about the safety of the Headless Horseman and the aquatic horse, nor did he care about the sudden change in the sky, all of which was still within his bearing.

"Good. ”

Charlene nodded immediately when she heard this, and just walked to the other party's side, the curtain closed again.

"Don't worry, let's see the situation first. ”

Yalei stopped the green-haired girl who was about to have a seizure. stared at the curtain with a cold expression. This moment. The feeling of being peeped at from all sides was much stronger.

Creak...... Squeaky ......

There was movement outside the window, and they were keenly aware of this subtle sound, as if something was scraping the glass, and the sound was sometimes loud and sometimes small, becoming more and more strange.

Charlene tugged at the corner of his shirt and pointed to the curtain, indicating that she wanted to lift the curtain to see what was going on.

Aree shook his head, motioning for her to wait.

The creaking sound became more and more strange. It was like something damp and slippery sliding on the glass, and the tooth-aching sound drilled straight into their ears.

The green-haired girl finally couldn't help but turn into a phantom, shuttled to the curtain in an instant, lifted the entire curtain, and the starlight outside was a little dim, but she could still see that there was nothing, and the sound just now disappeared, restoring that eerie silence.

"What's going on?" she stomped her foot in frustration.

"Don't worry, let's see. The black-haired knight hooked her hand at the green-haired girl, signaling her to be patient.

Charlene walked back sickly. The strange movement rose again, this time much louder. The two stared at the curtain and noticed that it was slowly sinking.

When the curtain caved out of a hole the size of a human head, they suddenly noticed that a little blood was slowly oozing from it, and Yalei suddenly grabbed the sunken curtain and tore it back.

The curtain suddenly fell backwards, and the outside was still a moonlit night, and the sound disappeared without a trace at this moment.

The black-haired knight frowned and pondered for a moment, then closed the curtain again, and slowly retreated to the green-haired girl, quietly waiting for the other party's further movements.

A few seconds later, the harsh sound came from the window again, which became more and more intense, and the original sound of creaking and scratching the glass had now turned into a violent crashing sound, and even the entire wide room began to vibrate slightly.

The curtain sank again, and although it was exactly the same as before, the radius doubled, and the dark red blood gradually stained the curtain, and Arei saw the opportunity and threw a ball of flame at the lamp on the ceiling.

Boom β€”β€”!

The etheric black flame burned almost everywhere, and the entire lamp and ceiling were burning, and the originally dark space gradually became clear in the blazing firelight.

The black-haired knight lifted the curtain again, and a clear black shadow appeared in front of the two, its silhouette was close to that of a human, but it was much shorter and fatter, only half the height of Charlene.

There were no other facial features on the entire head, only a huge mouthpart with interlaced canine teeth, and stains of blood continued to seep out of the mouthparts full of sharp teeth.

"It's you! it's you! it's you!"

At this moment, it suddenly made a clear sound, cold and hoarse, as if seeping out of the abyss, with a terrible chill and resentment.

β€œ......”

Yalei didn't talk nonsense with it, and Black Flame wrapped his right fist around it, pointing at the huge mouthpiece of the opponent and stabbing it.

Bangβ€”β€”!

The appearance of this shadow is terrifying, but the actual combat power seems to be very ordinary, but when it is rushed by the steel fighting qi, it will turn into pieces of dirty broken steps and disappear.

The darkness in the sky quickly disappeared, like the end of a solar eclipse, the sun returned to the earth with a thousand rays of light, and the courtyard was once again filled with the scent of birds and flowers.

Grubi, who was trembling below, saw the curtain suddenly open, and hurriedly came out of the shadow of the carriage, waved his hooves at him excitedly, and then said in a trembling voice:

"We're all good...... That's what Bagh told me to say. ”

"We're good too. ”

The black-haired knight smiled at them, then looked at the curtains on either side, and saw that the curtains had returned to their original cleanliness, without a trace of blood.

"What's going on?"

Charlene clutched her head in annoyance, realizing that she couldn't comprehend what she had just seen.

Yalei walked up to her, his heart moved, and suddenly he hugged the girl's soft body into his arms, and said softly in her ear: "It's nothing, it's just that I've encountered similar things before, and I'm just a little prepared." ”

"Have you ever encountered such a thing?" she cast, inquiring.

"But you can't say that...... But you have to keep in mind that these weird shadow-like things are very afraid of light, and in the light of it, they become very vulnerable. ”

"Got it. ”

The green-haired girl nodded as if she didn't understand, and suddenly blushed: "Let go, when are you going to hold it!"

"Alas...... I'd love to hold it a little longer. ”

The black-haired knight reluctantly let go of her and looked at the glass window again, only to find that there was suddenly an extra thing between the two arched glasses.

"When did this appear?" Charlene noticed something strange as well.

In front of them, the sunlight cast a row of dazzling golden light through the arched floor-to-ceiling glass, and in the middle of the wall window was an additional inset stone pillar, carved with a strange beast head. It seems that a long time has passed, and the subtleties of the carving have been blurred, but the expression is still vivid and vivid, and the mouthparts are wide open, as if they are roaring silently.
