1. The first meeting of the trio

Next Chapter

The summer wind fills the hot air with a hint of coolness.

It's 8 o'clock in the evening, and I drag my tired body back to the dormitory and skillfully touch the switch of the light on the wall.

With a "snap", the switch was pressed, but the light did not come on, and he snorted coldly.

It seems that the boss pulled the electric switch in the dormitory in order to save money, and he has long been used to the fact that the dormitory will be cut off at both ends in the past three days.

By the moonlight outside the window, he touched his bed and lay down against it.

Comfortable, sure enough, it is the most comfortable when lying down.

Sleepiness hit unconsciously, and his eyelids couldn't support it, and he fell into a deep sleep.

A man in a gas mask, slowly stepping out from behind the curtain, stood beside him.

Reaching out, he probed his snort, and after making sure that he was asleep in the night, he pulled out a dagger from his waist.

"S...... Painful"

Ling Ye felt pain in his back in his sleep, and reached out to touch it, only to touch the wet and sticky liquid.

He only felt that his eyelids were so heavy, he couldn't open his eyes, his head hurt very much, and he had a sense of hangover, but he obviously didn't drink last night.

He struggled for a long time, and finally opened his eyes.

There were a few hanging electric lights overhead, many of them broken, and those that were still glowing were covered in thick cobwebs that glowed faintly yellow.

By the light, he could barely see clearly, and he looked around and saw that it was empty, and the corners were dark because of the lack of light, and he didn't know what was there.

The ground on which I was lying was a large flat concrete floor, with some dust and some footprints.

He stood up, his back was still very painful, he wanted to reach out and rub it, but when he raised his hand, he saw that the palm of his hand was bright red.

It's blood! It turned out that it was my own blood that I touched before!

He looked at the ground, and there were a lot of blood stains where he had just been lying.

What's going on?

As he was thinking, a tentacle burst out of the shadow in the corner and coiled around his calf.

Before he could react, the tentacle pulled hard, and he immediately fell to the ground.

"Ah!!h

The tentacles began to drag him along, his back rubbing against the ground violently, the pain of his heart causing him to wake up instantly.

Not good!

He desperately held on to the ground, trying to slow down the tentacles' drag.

The tentacles also began to exert force, pulling his body to the corner, he gritted his teeth and insisted, and the two sides were deadlocked.

He could see through the light that in the far corner was a monster with purple-red tentacles all over its body, and in the middle was a large mouth full of fine fangs.

Damn, if this is dragged over, it will definitely be a death!

A great sense of dread enveloped him, and he used all his strength to kick and tug at his tentacles.

Again and again, just as he was about to lose his strength.

The tentacle monster was in pain and let go of him, and he took the opportunity to pull out his calf, struggled to his feet, and ran away from the tentacle.

Before he could run a few meters, the tentacles suddenly stretched out again, this time several tentacles moved at the same time, and he could only dodge the tentacles that wanted to catch him as he ran.

The dim environment made him very uncomfortable, he could only run around by feeling, and in a trance, there was a flickering fire in front of him.

There were people there, he thought, running in the direction of the firelight.

A few meters away!

Coming soon......

Suddenly, his body was lifted up, and the tentacles were still one step faster than him, wrapping around his legs.

The tentacle monster learned the lesson of the last time, and several tentacles moved at the same time, instantly wrapping up his limbs, and the suction cups on the tentacles sucked his skin tightly.

He struggled desperately, but he was in mid-air, and he was tightly entangled by tentacles, and there was nothing he could do.

The big mouth was close again, and the corners of his mouth were still drooling like slime, and the monster opened its mouth, and a foul smell came to his face, and he quickly held his breath.

This stench, even if it is not eaten, will be smoked to death.

The tentacles curled around his body and sent them towards his mouth, and he knew that there was no hope of escape, so he closed his eyes in resignation.

The expected pain of being chewed did not come, and the tentacles that bound him suddenly loosened.

There was a loud "thump" and he was thrown to the ground.

Ouch, it hurts!

Landing on his back, the intense pain stimulated him, and he wanted to roll over and get up, but his body didn't seem to obey him, and he didn't react at all.

"Are you alright?"

A sweet female voice rang in his ears, and he looked up to see a woman in a pink tutu standing in front of him.

She wore a beautiful white top hat on her head, black curly hair, and her round face was even sweeter, and she looked at Ling Ye with a worried expression on her face.

"It's not safe here, let's go!" A crisp male voice urged.

He looked at the man, he was wearing a simple white short-sleeved shirt, dark blue shorts, a slender and straight figure, deep facial features, black eyes shining, he looked young and student-like.

He saw that Ling Ye was paralyzed on the ground, and a lot of blood oozed from his back, so he simply picked him up and ran in one direction, and the woman followed behind.

Ling Ye looked up in the direction of the monster, only to see that the monster had disappeared, and there was a torch on the ground, it seemed that the man used the torch to repel the monster.

After a while, the three of them came to a door, which was not very large and could only accommodate one person, and the body of the door was made of metal, reflecting a silvery white light under the lamp.

"Open the door"

The man commanded.

The woman stepped forward and pushed the door open with all her might, and there was a dark green lawn outside.

The man carried him on his back and walked through the door.

"Thank you"

He said with the last of his strength, and then fainted on the man's shoulder.

*

A drop of water dripped to the top of Midnight's head, "Horn Click", "Horn Click", "Horn Click", and with the sound, more rain dripped down.

He woke up and touched his head, his hands were covered with falling rain, and it was clearly raining outside.

He looked up and saw that he was living in a tent, which was very large and high, and there was enough space for several people to lie down.

The white pointed top, which was secured with wood on all sides, was not very intact, and there were small holes in some places, through which the rainwater should have flowed in.

How could I be in a tent?

He was full of doubts, I remember I was sleeping in the dormitory before?

The tent was empty, and there was nothing but a kerosene lamp in the corner.

He touched his back, the wound had not healed, and it was still aching.

He carefully recalled what had just happened, he was suddenly attacked by a monster, and then two people came to save him.

So those two men brought him into the tent?

"This broken village, there is really nothing!"

The woman's dissatisfied voice sounded outside the tent, and Ling Ye became alert, she still didn't know the situation, it was better to pretend to sleep first, maybe she could overhear something.
