Chapter 12: Unfinished Dreams
"Wake up!"
"What's wrong, Ian?"
"Yafei let a bunch of outsiders in!
The night in Darby Town was still silent, but there was a bit of noise in the silence. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
At Ian's house, Wei Xi, who was sleeping peacefully in his bed, was roughly woken up by Ian.
"Got people in?"
Wei Xi, who had just been woken up, yawned, and was a little confused before she could figure out the situation.
"Well, it's three girls and a child!" Ian looked nervous, still unrelieved.
"Are the doors and windows closed?" Seeing Ian's expression, the young and dull Wei still couldn't understand the current situation from Ian's scattered words.
Unlike the people who have been in the house from the beginning, when the hunting ground comes, the people who enter the house when the monster is coming will bring the breath of the person into the house, although it is extremely weak, but it is difficult to guarantee that there will not be a monster with a keen sense of smell to search for it.
And by that time, it will be too late!
Outsiders don't know, but Ian, a native of Darby Town, knows very well: the house itself has the protection of a giant magic array, which can resist most of the magic and weapons at and below the top level through external blessings, but the power of the creature itself is just an earthen wall made of bricks and tiles - vulnerable.
If discovered, they will lose their only refuge and be directly exposed to the sight of the monsters.
"It's closed, but I'm afraid it's useless!" Vicky's words not only failed to ease Ian's anxiety, but only made Ian, who saw his dull appearance, even more uneasy.
"It's not a way to stay here, I'd better go outside and have a look first!"
"Don't!"
"Bang!"
Suddenly, a stranger's panicked shouts came from outside the room, and Ian instantly realized, "Something must have happened"!
"What's wrong? What's going on?"
But Wei Xi was still puzzled and confused.
"I'll take a look, you can get up quickly......" Ian quickly instructed Wei Xi before rushing out of the room.
"What the hell!" Wei Xi couldn't figure out the seriousness of the matter at all. But after seeing Ian's anxious and flustered appearance, he also realized: "Something is wrong"!
Following Ian's words, Vicky quickly got up from the bed, got dressed, and immediately came to the living room. The living room, which is not spacious but bright, is surrounded by simple decorations. In the center is a low, wide black wooden table, and two sofas are placed on the sides of the wooden table. One is a single person, while the other now has four people seated.
"Who are you?" didn't mean anything in particular, Vicky was just curious.
"We are passing travelers!" replied to Vichy, a tall woman in a fresh green dress. She sat quietly on the couch, her chest held high, and she smiled politely at Wei Xi.
"Traveler?" However, this charming smile did not work for the sluggish Vixi, glancing up and down at the woman and her companions, Vixi asked softly, "Are you the 'outsiders' that Yafei put in?"
The "......" woman was silent. Her companions also bowed their heads and remained silent.
As for the fact that it was dangerous for Yafei to let herself and others in, they had already learned from Ian, the owner of the house. Because they had already come in, it would be useless to drive them out, so Ian, who was not a good person, didn't say much, and could only pray that the monsters wouldn't find out here.
But Ian, though accepting them, shouts at Yafei for letting them in. Ian's tone seemed to be too heavy in anger, and when he went to wake up Wei Xi in order to prepare for the worst outcome, Ya Fei, who couldn't stand it, rushed out of the door in one go.
What will happen when they go out on the street, they don't have to think about it. Immediately after the owner of the house, Ian, also chased him out...... Thinking of this, they couldn't help but feel guilty. Because they feel indebted to Wei Xi, women smile at Wei Xi. It's atonement, but it's also self-comforting!
"Yafei just ran outside suddenly, and Mr. Ian just heard Ari's scream, came out of your room and asked about the situation and immediately followed. The answer to this seemingly non-existent question came from the mouth of the youngest and only male among the outsiders.
The little boy was dressed in a pitch-black robe, and the wide adult robe was over his small body, which looked like a little girl wearing his mother's long dress, and the big hat was over the boy's head, so that Vicky could only see the sneer hanging from the corner of his mouth on his cold face.
Wei Xi was not angry because of this, but he was very slow to good intentions and dangers, but he would never miss malice. Vichy's instincts from his misadventures tell him that the boy was not being laughed at by him, Ian, or Yafi, but by the boy himself.
Maybe I should ask a few more words, maybe I should stay at home honestly, but a girl's voice made Wei Xi have no other choice.
"No ......"
Outside the gate, a girl's scream of grief suddenly sounded.
Hearing the mournful roar, Wei Xi's body trembled.
"Don't go out!"
The woman who first accosted Wei Xi dissuaded with concern, and several other women also stood up at this time. They pretended to be casual and approached the door, and as for the purpose, it was self-evident.
"Yafei!"
But they were naïve. At some critical moment, people will burst out with powerful power that even they dare not dare. Just as Ari and Nanda were about to reach the door, Vixi suddenly let out a soft snort and disappeared in place. By the time Ari and Nanda reacted, Vicky had already taken the door.
After coming out of the house, Vicky desperately searched for Yafei, trying to make sure that she was not the one who screamed. However, as soon as he walked out of the house, he saw several irregular blood stains in front of Ya Fei, who was crying bitterly, and the huge body of the sixth-level demonic beast Gust Wolf Cruise, who was opening and closing his upper and lower jaws in front of Ya Fei and seemed to be chewing something.
"What the hell is this ......"
For a moment, Vixi's mind went blank, and even though he heard Yafei's screams and saw the blood stains in front of Yafei and Varus, he realized it even if his brain was abnormally dull...... It's just that he is fragile and he doesn't want to admit it, and he can't accept this cruel reality that came too suddenly.
"Don't be there, run, Yafei!"
But the loss of consciousness is only for a moment. Now that life and death are at stake, Wei Xi can no longer allow himself to be willful, and he is dull but sharp and gentle, and he will always force himself to sacrifice himself when necessary.
"Huh?"
Yafei turned her head and looked at Wei Xi, who was running towards her, but there was only confusion and confusion in her eyes. It's like a weak girl who was suddenly dumped by her boyfriend in love, completely losing her former look, like a doll with a broken thread.
There was not the slightest response, there was no response!
- She's no longer good.
The mutilation of the flesh is nothing, but if the heart is dead, then there is really no salvation. But......
"It's not going to work......"
"I ...... I can't just lose her ......."
"!! Yafi"
Wei Xi used all her strength to rush to Yafei's side as fast as she could, and at the moment of passing by, she picked her up, and then ran to the center of Darby Town as fast as she could.
Now that the Vault has lost its meaning, the only hope is the Mercenary Guild in the center of Darby. It is the only force in Darby Town that will take in the people of Darby Town who are still scattered outside at night, and only when they get there can they have a glimmer of life!
But before that......
"Woo~uh!"
Feeling the vague gaze behind him, Wei Xi showed a bitter smile. The sight flickered far and near, but it always followed.
There is no escape from the doomed catastrophe!
Wei Xi and Ya Fei were targeted by Cruise, as the king of the jungle, even the seventh-level demonic beast had to retreat by three points, and it was obviously impossible for the "strongest of the same level" to be unable to catch up with the little Wei Xi, who was only eight years old, not to mention that he was still holding Ya Fei - doubling the burden.
It was just a moment of interest, wanting to play with this weak prey that the fugitive past couldn't even arouse the interest of chasing. Following their prey unhurriedly, letting them run, and then appearing when they are exhausted, leaving them in utter despair - Cruise enjoys the pleasure of doing so.
"I won't let you succeed!"
Wei Xi was keenly aware of Cruise's intentions, and a heavy expression of unwillingness and stubbornness appeared on the corners of his mouth, and he resolutely forced his small body to break through the limits of his body. The small body, with Yafei in front of him, ran like the wind at this time, and flew as light and fast.
A thought blessed Wei Xi's body - the belief that "you must definitely protect her" gave Wei Xi seemingly endless strength.
This power turns into fire!
Burning in the heart, burning in the heart......
"Bang!"
Cruise took a heavy step, then stopped still. It seemed to be stunned by the fact that Vichy had suddenly more than doubled her speed.
"Roar!!
But that's just a breath or two!
What does Warcraft do most often?
It's predation. And in the long-term and repeated predation life, as long as there are thinking creatures, it is inevitable that they will get bored. In order to add fun to the boring predatory life, the predator will deliberately slow down the pace of his pursuit, give the prey a chance to live, and at the same time in order to prevent himself from losing the prey, sometimes chase very close, and this funny and ridiculous behavior inadvertently adds a more deadly psychological burden to the prey.
In the process of escaping, the body of the prey will inevitably become more and more tired. When the body begins to feel tired, every step becomes more and more difficult, the body is too tired to the inside, and the energy is quickly overdrawn and consumed, so that finally the will is lost!
"Hopeless......"
The moment of losing the belief in survival, the moment of despair, the hunter will get a spiritual pleasure that is difficult to describe in words.
Cruise let out a loud breath, and his body sped briskly, and in the blink of an eye, he was behind Vixi. Sensing that the distance between him and Cruise was suddenly closer. Wei Xi helplessly forced herself to speed up again.
"Roar!!
As he ran, Verus roared again. The voice was long, tactful, and clear, and the speed soared again in an instant......
"Vicky ......"
"Wei Xi ~"
"Wei Xi!"
A small voice reached Vixi's ears. He was still asleep, but the sound went into his brain, spread to his heart, and permeated his dreams. This small voice quietly struck a circle of small ripples on the lake of Wei Xi's heart.
"Who is it?" Wondering, Vicky opened her eyes.
"Wei Xi!" However, before he could react, his vision was instantly surrounded by an unknown black object. Threads, wisps of small, supple things slid across Wei Xi's face. The soft object slid mischievously from Vixi's face into Vixi's neck, and then seemed to have been dropped too deep and could no longer go up.
"Are you awake?"
The lovely face of a cute girl was reflected in front of her, and she showed a gentle and warm smile when she looked at herself who opened her eyes dimly from sleep.
"Well, I'm awake, Rusto!" I didn't think I had to blame her for waking me up from dreaming. That smile warmed my heart, and unconsciously, I laughed too.
