Chapter 11 The Night Rain Strikes

"How long will it take for Furlong to get to Morin Academy?" asked Amy with a bitter face. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Hela's guards, together with Lin Ye, Amy and Francis, had already traveled for thirteen days, and Aknod and other members of the 'Spirit Slayer' had already separated from them and continued to clean up the undead of the defense line, leaving only Francis to protect them to their destination. There was only one carriage and three horses in the team, one horse was used to pull the cart, the captain of the guard and Francis each rode a horse, and the carriage was sat by Hela, so Lin Ye and Amy had to go on foot. Although Hela invited the two to ride together, neither of them was embarrassed to go up.

"Just cross the Cecil Basin in front of you, and you'll be there for another day," Francis smiled, "It's getting dark, let's go to the town in the basin to rest first, I haven't cooked for a long time, and my hands are a little itchy." ”

"Don't!" cried Amy, who didn't want to be tortured any more.

Francis tilted his head and waited for him, "What do you mean, kid?"

"Ah...... That, it's all at this point, in case someone goes to bed early, you go to cook and it will affect others, right? Amy made up a reason that even he thought was nonsense.

"Alas, don't eat it if you don't like it, how many people can taste the food made by a great marksman like me. Francis said narcissistically.

Lin Ye didn't participate in their conversation, anyway, he believed that no one could talk about Francis, of course, Francis would be much quieter if Grace was there. After being guided by Hybra that night, Lin Ye found Ackrod the next day and told him how to amplify the smell of blood to attract ghouls. He now believes that even if he can't join the Soul Slayer, he can contribute to the Soul Slayer in other ways, or to contribute to the fight against the undead legion.

Sometimes, as long as people stop dwelling on one thing, everything will suddenly become clear.

As night fell, a rain of rain came and the smell of dust filled the air. The night rain hit, and the biting cold spread on everyone, and everyone hurriedly accelerated their speed, but fortunately, the town seemed to be in sight. The town looks hazy in the rain, but as the distance closes, it feels eerie.

"Night Rain Town" Lin Ye read the wooden sign in front of the town thoughtfully, "It's really quite vivid." ”

"It's true, because the town is located in the Cecil Basin, there are often night rains. Hela said.

Amy folded her arms around her chest, which warmed him up, "Did you notice that something seems wrong with this town, I don't believe that everyone here goes to bed as early as I said." ”

Before and after coming to the town, Lin Ye also found that there was no light in this town, according to common sense, there would definitely be a fire in the house in this kind of weather, which was very abnormal. Francis did not let them in, but brought five or six guards in to investigate the situation. Soon they were back.

"How's Fulong doing?" Lin Ye asked.

"There are two pieces of news, one good and one bad," Francis shrugged, "the good news is that we don't have to pay for accommodation, and the bad news is that there is no one in this town." ”

"It's definitely weird, let's not go in. Amy whispered.

"No, if you don't go in, you can't make a fire outside now, and you have to pass through Nightrain Town to get through the basin as soon as possible. Hella said.

Lin Ye pushed Amy and walked forward, "You've killed all the ghouls, are you still afraid of this?"

"If you're not afraid, don't push me forward. Amy said angrily.

......

The flames in the fireplace were burning quietly, the night rain was still rushing, Lin Ye and Amy sat in front of the fireplace and felt the blazing warmth, and the rain on their hair gradually dried. Although the flames brought warmth, they were also scorching the scars in Lin Ye's heart. Even if you have opened your heart, some things will never be erased.

"Lin Ye, are you okay?" Hela walked over and asked.

"It's okay," Lin Ye smiled back, "By the way, did the guards find food?"

"There's a lot of food, but it's not normal. Hela's expression was a little serious.

Originally, they thought that all the inhabitants of the town had migrated to other places, but when they entered the inn, they found that although the contents had accumulated dust, they were intact, and the inhabitants of the inn seemed to have evaporated out of thin air.

"We ...... Let's get out of here. Amy looked uneasy.

"If it comes, it will be safe," Lin Ye stared at the flames intently, "This place is so close to Morin Academy, the possibility of problems should be very small." ”

Hela nodded yes, but Amy was still uneasy.

"Okay, let's get some rest, we have to hurry tomorrow, and there are guards outside to keep vigil, so don't think too much about it. Lin Ye continued to comfort Amy.

After a while, all three of them went to sleep. There were several empty beds in the inn, but none of them put them on and went to sleep, they said there was nothing to worry about, but their hearts were still full of fear.

"Drink—"

I don't know how long I slept, but Lin Ye, who slept very lightly, was awakened by the sudden roar outside and the sound of swords colliding with wooden stakes. He couldn't figure out who was idle at night and practiced swords in the rain.

If you listen closely, it should be a boy's voice, and he thought it was Amy, but he saw that Amy was still lying by the fireplace and asleep. Lin Ye had some doubts in his heart, he put on his iron sword and wanted to call Amy to go out to have a look, but he couldn't wake up even Hela, Francis and the guards, he didn't wake up any of them.

He mustered up the courage to walk out of the inn, and was surprised to find that even the guards who were keeping vigil were asleep. Ignoring these any more, Lin Ye followed the source of the sound step by step, and the drizzle and the empty houses around made Lin Ye's body a little more chilly, as if the boundless darkness was about to swallow him.

Finally, he found the source of the sound around the corner of a house. It was a boy younger than Amy, probably only seven or eight years old, and a wooden sword was much taller than his, and he was dressed in white, and he was wielding the wooden sword in his hand vigorously, looking very serious.

"Well, hello. Lin Ye said hello tentatively.

The little boy stopped his movements, turned around and saw Lin Ye, and said very cheerfully, "Hello big brother." ”

It really seems to be human. Lin Ye breathed a long sigh of relief, walked closer and rubbed the boy's hair, "You practice so seriously." ”

"Of course, my father is the captain of the town's guards, and I want to practice my swordsmanship and protect Nightrain like him. The little boy said, his face beaming with pride.

"Yes, it's quite a goal, but it's not good to practice swords in the rain so late, and if you don't get it, you'll get sick. Lin Ye said with a smile.

"Well, okay, I'll go back," the boy scratched his head, "Do you want big brother to come home with me?"

"Me?"

"Well, come with me, Mommy's apple pie is delicious!"

Lin Ye thought about it for a while and decided to follow the little boy to find out.

The little boy took him by the hand and walked slowly to the middle of the town, where there was a fountain, but it was evident that it had been abandoned for a long time. After walking a little longer, they came to a house. The house looks huge, three stories high, but it's just as dark as the others.

The little boy pushed open the iron door and shouted, "Father and mother, I have come back and brought a friend with me!"

As soon as the little boy's voice fell, the door of the house opened with a "creak", but there was no one to see who opened the door, and the house was still dark, and nothing could be seen clearly from the outside.

"Let's go, big brother, my father and mother are also welcoming you. The little boy smiled and pulled Lin Ye to the house.

Lin Ye hesitated for a moment, and walked in cautiously with his right hand under the hilt of his sword. As soon as I entered the house, the door slammed shut. The little boy was nowhere to be seen.

Lin Ye couldn't open the door after trying, so he quickly pulled out his sword, suppressed the fear that surged into his heart, and walked towards the house step by step. Suddenly, a loud laugh rang out, and Lin Ye turned around and saw a black shadow floating past. Then there was another scream, Lin Ye was completely panicked, he hurriedly ran to the gate, and slashed with his sword to break the door open, but the iron sword only splashed some broken wood slag.

Lin Ye shouted, and the house also collapsed quickly with a roar at this time.
