But even after 6 times, he still can't get used to it.

He has escaped 6 times, will he still favor him the 7th?

John didn't know, and everyone didn't.

"John, eat quickly, eat more now, and you won't be afraid after a while."

Bessie was cooked to a particularly thick paste today, slimy like bread, but softer than bread.

In order to face the beast tide, she also boiled two eggs, one for John and Anne.

John stared at the two eggs for a long time, then went to get one and put it in the warm fire.

"Mom, you eat first, I want to eat baked eggs." John gave his mother a smile that was clearly lying.

"Anyway, the beast tide is coming, and when the beast tide passes, the meat will be cheaper, so let's buy some meat and roast it when the time comes."

John said a lot and he was a little nervous, it was obvious.

Bessie and Anne also talked a lot with him, and the family of three was nervous.

They usually like the good things they like a lot, and they eat them for a long time before they finish them.

As it got dark, John hid with his mother and sister in the hole they had dug.

Every household will dig similar holes, after all, for ordinary people like them at lv.0, running outside and shaking around when the beast tide comes is simply looking for death.

So every family digs holes in their houses, and everyone knows where they are hiding in the house, the difference is just where.

On the first night of Aya and Cyril's departure, before the beast tide had begun, John did not hear any beasts.

However, there are voices.

And not alone.

They burst into John's house and wreaked havoc, rummaging around, snatching everything they could use, removing everything that was "valuable", and even finding John and hiding some copper coins.

John was distressed, but the robbers were not satisfied, and took tools and cursed and knocked everywhere on the ground and walls.

Gasping for breath!

Extinguish!

Hiding under the newly dug hole outside the house, the three Johns blocked all their voices in fear and anger.

Anger, incomparable rage!

The damned bandits!! That's their home!!

But John knew very well that he couldn't beat them.

If you dare to rush out at this time, you will definitely be killed!

And even my mother and sister will die miserably after being ruined.

He bit down on the wood so hard that blood oozed from his teeth.

Finally, after three hours of "digging three feet into the ground" and no one was found, the robbers cursed and randomly selected a family to go in and loot.

Screams and cries for mercy broke the silence of the night.

The three of John didn't dare to cry, their eyes widened, they were afraid that the crying would attract those bastards!

John had speculation that he might be the first "family to be killed."

He earns a lot of money, even if it is just the salary of a cleaner in a specialty store on the surface, which will attract the envy of many people.

This slum is so unreasonable, daring to kill the whole family for a copper coin.

John guessed that he might be the "first bird" and would be targeted.

So he dug a pit in advance not far from his home and not very close.

Every day, while everyone was asleep, a family of three carefully dug a hole with a shovel borrowed from a specialty store, and then weaved something that could bear weight from the grass and dead branches, and put a "stone" on top that looked heavy but was actually very light.

This stone was made of paper and clay by him, and he hid it during the day and used it only now.

The moon is dleak before and after the tide of beasts, and everyone in the slums suffers from night blindness, even among the high-ranking robbers.

A few glances at the fake stone during the day can reveal the flawed flaw, but at night when there is only torch lighting, it is very deceptive.

No one could have imagined that John, Bessie, and Anne were hiding under the boulder.

John even made a small switch on the boulder that allowed him to drill down from the bottom of the hole into the hollow inside of the stone and look out through the opening.

John used to have night blindness, but once he went out at night and fell down, and the next day after going to work with a bruised and swollen face, Aya gave him a bottle of eye drops.

Transparent water dripped a drop into each of his eyes, and although he was 108,000 miles away from his "night vision" ability, he was at least able to see clearly with the help of a faint light.

John was in charge of the scouts, and Bessie and Anne were in charge of holding their breath, whispering not to make a movement and not to make any noise!

The entrance to the cave was small, barely enough for the three of them to barely curl up and hide.

It is the torture of ordinary people who will cry out for a minute because of their strange posture and small space.

But John Bessie and Anne can only feel a little safe when they stay here.

It's dawn.

The beast tide did not come, but there was nothing but corpses on the blood-soaked road of the slums.

No one dared to go out.

What if the trail is discovered?!

John was scared, during the day, the probability of his fake stone being found skyrocketed, and as long as someone looked at it twice, they could guess that the family was hiding here.

Won't there be no way to escape at that time?!

John was too frightened to look out from inside the boulder.

He was afraid, afraid to see the home that he had turned into ruins, afraid to see blood, and even more afraid to see the corpses of acquaintances.

John wanted to cry, wanted to cry.

He should have said yes, he thought.

He was supposed to take his sister and mother to the legendary Lanceville.

He didn't know what Lanceville looked like, and he hadn't seen Lanceville yet, but at this moment, there was infinite anticipation in his heart-

What does Lanceville look like and can he go after death?

No, a filthy and lowly man like him can't go to heaven after death, he can't go to Lanceville.

In addition to feeling sorry that he couldn't go to Lanceville, John felt even more guilty, and felt guilty that his sister and mother had to die here with him.

Unwilling, he's so unwilling!

As long as the beast tide has passed, and winter comes, he will be able to redeem his acceptance letter and earn enough money to send Anne to Lansvelly to school.

Both Aya and Cyril said that it was a very good place, and that if you graduated successfully, you would be able to earn a lot of gold in the future.

Just a little, just a little! He almost made Anne live a completely different life than he did!

Unwilling, so unwilling, why her, why does she have to suffer so much!

Anne was only three years old, and she was only three years old! She didn't do anything bad. She hadn't told a lie, she hadn't stolen anything, she hadn't stolen food, she hadn't stolen crops, she hadn't done anything wrong!

He's lazy, he's lying, he's stealing, he's speaking ill of people, he's insulting and cursing others, he's guilty, but, but......

Anne is not guilty!

Great and omnipotent God, why can't you visit Anne? She will thank you for your kindness every day before and after dinner, before and after bed, sing praises to your greatness, worship your greatness, such a child, why can't you let her live better?

The more John thought about it, the more uncomfortable it became, and his heart became sore.

"Brother," Anne noticed John's strange appearance, and almost "shouted", but soon realized this, she shoved her fist into her mouth, and the small fist already had many bloody stamps on it, all of which Anne had bitten out herself.

"Brother, what's wrong with you, brother? Woo, brother, brother, don't leave me woowoo......"

"John, John, don't scare Mommy......"

John bit the tip of his tongue, the pain cleared his brain a little, he hammered and hammered his chest, and then smiled at Anne and her mother with a soothing smile: "I'm fine, I just thought of one thing out of the blue." ”

Anne and Bessie stared at him intensely, apparently not believing that he was lying as an excuse.

John's brain was racing under their gaze, and he was really reminded of a very important thing!

- Keys! Keys to the store!!

John hurriedly took out the key that he had kept close to him: "This is the key that Lord Aya and Lord Cyril borrowed from me when they left. ”

Bessie's eyes widened in shock, and an incredible thought came to her mind—

"This is、The key to the store?"

The locks in specialty stores are double locks, magic wave unlocking and traditional key unlocking.

Aya's space equipment is full of things, and she doesn't know where she lost her key, anyway, the store can be unlocked by magic fluctuations, so she hasn't looked for the key.

Cyril is more detailed, but the mana fluctuation is too convenient to unlock, and he hasn't used it again since he got the key.

The only person in the shop who could open the door with a key was John, the cleaner who would be waiting in front of Aya and Cyril in the morning.

Aya and Cyril are typical wastes of life when they go to work a minute early, so naturally they won't be early for John, but it's not good to keep John waiting outside, so they gave John a spare key.

The key was usually hung on John's body, but the store manager and assistant store manager were gone, and the spare key should have been taken back early.

John's eyes turned red at the mention of this, and tears could not be restrained from rolling down his eyes any longer.

On the last day of work, John came early in the morning and took the initiative to return the key to store manager Aya.

The beast tide in Conroro came a little later than the border city.

The manager and assistant manager had said two days ago that they would be closed for a while, and that they would go back to the harvest festival in Lanceville.

During the time I went back, the store wanted to close, but I couldn't stop it, and the players were desperate at the thought that they would not be able to buy card packs for at least half a month in the future.

The more favored begged their parents to let them travel to Lansvelly and participate in the event by the way.

Those who are not favored can only buy a little more card packs before the store closes.

However, only a small number of players can go to Lanceville, and most players can only stay in the city of Conroro.

There were so many "willing" players that Cyril had to put up as many vending machines as possible and then max out the inventory.
