The night is like ink, and the wind and rain are coming.

The staggering figure shuttled through the black mountain forest.

This is a good-looking woman with a graceful figure.

The woman's face is painted with makeup and dressed fashionably, not like the residents of nearby villages and towns, and she should be a tourist from the metropolis.

She ran through the mountains and forests, scarred by the bushes and foliage that could be found everywhere along the way.

But even so, she didn't slow down, as if something terrible was chasing her in the darkness behind her.

And the lights that were getting closer and closer in front of her were like the dawn of the night to her.

"It's almost there, it's almost there......"

"I don't want to die, I don't want to die!!"

The woman shouted in her heart, seeing that the light was getting closer and closer, and the hope in her eyes was getting stronger and stronger.

Finally, she climbed the last steep slope and came to the open flat ground made of cobblestones and cement in front of the temple gate.

"Yes, anyone? Help, help me!! ”

The woman cried out for help with almost the last of her strength, and at the same time threw herself in front of the closed temple gate, her right hand propped up on the old door panel, trying to push it open only to find that the gate was tethered.

"Open, open, hurry up and open the door......"

There was a deep despair in the hoarse voice.

With the little strength left, he could only make a faint sound like a mosquito chirping on the door panel.

In the end, I didn't even have the strength to speak......

The woman slumped in front of the door, her chest panting violently like bellows.

"Woo, woo......"

She looked back into the darkness, biting her lip and letting out a low whimper through her throat.

Maybe in the next second, the "monster" will burst out of the darkness and drag her into the abyss of despair.

"Open the door, ......"

The woman whimpered.

Crunch –

At the most desperate moment of the woman, a voice like heaven suddenly sounded behind her.

The mottled and dilapidated temple gates, which seemed to fall when the wind blew, opened as she wished.

The woman jerked her back, and a straight, soft light emerged from the temple and shone on the bridge of her nose.

As the wooden door opened, the light that hit the bridge of her nose expanded, filling her eyes and eventually enveloping her body.

The trembling body froze at this moment.

And then—

The woman saw a young man with a clean face, and his misty eyes suddenly widened.

The face revealed in the soft light is like a painter who strives for perfection to paint on canvas with stroke after stroke, trying to hide all visible imperfections.

It's so pretty......

Even though the current situation is urgent and dangerous, she still sighs untimely at the outstanding appearance of the young man in front of her.

The person who opened the temple door for a woman was Mo You, who had just filled his stomach.

At this moment, as far as the eye can see, there is darkness that cannot be seen.

Moyu only glanced at the embarrassed woman, and then turned to look at the deep and oppressive darkness ahead.

In that direction, a tulle-like telekinetic light surged in the darkness ahead where the approximate distance could not be determined.

"People? Or something else? ”

Mo You stared at the mass of qi that was "burning" in the darkness and was silent.

Whatever it is......

Since this woman can be so embarrassed and desperate, it is not a good thing to think about it.

The woman finally reacted, lying on the ground and hugging Mo You's calves with both hands, crying in a hoarse voice: "Help, help me, something is chasing me...... My friends were all killed......"

"Tell me clearly, is it a human or an animal?"

Mo You still didn't look at the woman, always staring at the cloud of qi in the darkness ahead.

The other party has been standing still, so he can only stay on the sidelines.

Hearing Mo You's question, the woman hesitated for a moment and whispered, "I—I'm just trying to run for my life...... I didn't see what it was, but I heard the screams of my friends, and he—they ......"

As she spoke intermittently, the woman suddenly glanced at the lights in the temple that brought a sense of security, and pleaded in a low voice, "Can you let me in?" ”

“……”

Mo Yu didn't speak, just leaned sideways to give up a position.

Seeing Mo You's movements, the woman instantly realized, and although she had no strength, her will to survive still made her crawl into the door like a worm.

Then, she struggled to look up at Mo You, trying to get Mo You to close the door quickly.

It was also at this moment that the woman noticed that Mo You was staring in the direction she had come.

It seems that from the moment he opened the door, the young man in front of him never looked away.

He...... Can you see it?

The woman's eyes glazed over, and she only thought of this possibility.

But in order to seek more security, she didn't have the time to dig deeper, and all she wanted was to ask Mo You to close the door quickly, and then call out everyone in the temple.

"Lock, lock the door, the monster is coming after you......"

The woman begged weakly.

If she hadn't been tired and paralyzed, she would definitely not have asked for Mo You's opinion and ran directly into the temple.

"If your friends were all killed by what you called 'something', what do you think would be the use of this broken door that even elementary school students can kick down?"

Mo You's expression was calm, and his tone was steady and powerful.

The woman looked at the wooden door that creaked in the breeze, and couldn't say a word.

At the same time, she found that Mo You was too calm, and it didn't look like a teenager should behave.

"Then, then you call all the people in the temple......

"I'm the only one here."

Mo You replied casually, that is, he saw that the "qi" in the darkness finally moved, and it was slowly pressing towards this side.

"Why, why are you ......alone?"

Hearing that there was only one Mo You in the huge temple, the woman was stunned.

A broken door and a boy who is never more than sixteen years old...... How can you stop the monster that killed all its companions in the mountains and forests?

The woman fell into deep despair.

Mo Youke didn't have the heart to take care of the woman's current mood.

Although I don't know what the "monster" the woman is talking about, what is certain is that this so-called "monster" knows how to use "qi", that is, it is enough to pose a threat to itself.

If this woman hadn't come here to ask for help, but had died in the mountains and forests, she wouldn't have brought trouble with her.

But at the same time, he didn't know that there was such a dangerous existence in the mountains and forests.

In short-

From the moment the woman collapsed in front of the temple gate, Mo You knew that he couldn't stay out of it.

Fortunately, he now has the means to fight against Nian.

"Come in."

Mo Yu watched the movement of the "qi" as he stepped back.

"Can you give me a hand......

The woman looked at Moyu who was retreating and pleaded.

Mo You didn't say anything, just shook his head.

As far as the current situation is concerned, the seemingly non-threatening "help-seeker" in front of him is still within his warning range.

Seeing that Mo You was so cold, the woman could only squirm her body and try to climb into the temple.

It's just that she didn't notice-

Under the light, there was no shadow of the young man in front of him.
