09 Darkness Strikes 01
The excitement only existed for a while before it was broken by the bell above, Yang Yi stood quietly, listened attentively, only to hear the sound of footsteps above his head becoming more and more chaotic, people seemed to be running in all directions, shouting loudly in panic, shaking Yang Yi's head with dust falling straight down.
What's going on up there?
Yang Yi settled down and ran towards the top of the lungs.
The entrance is a stone staircase that spirals upward, with the shape of a stone pillar on the inside, and a groove dug out of the wall on the outer stone wall some distance away, in which a torch is inserted.
Yang Yi ran up the stone steps quickly, and when he ran about the height of a one- or two-story building, his eyes lit up, and the exit arrived.
As he was running towards the exit, a man crashed in in a panic. Yang Yi grabbed him and asked, "What's wrong?"
The man paled and said, "Pastor Raymond, they're here again!"
Yang Yi was stunned for a moment, the man had already broken free of Yang Yi's hand and ran towards the basement quickly.
In front of me, there are many people running wildly. There are also men with swords or spears who run in the opposite direction. In my ears, I suddenly heard someone crying out in ancient English: "Coming, coming!"
At this time, the bell rang more quickly, and it rang intensively, and the strong warning meaning was abrupt and sharp, and there was a bad feeling all over the body.
Yang Yi was a little overwhelmed in the chaos, and he didn't know what to do. The scene was chaotic and out of control, very much like the first time I arrived here when I was shuttling on the train.
Alda's voice sounded in his ears again, and in the midst of the chaos, his voice sounded the most calm and powerful: "Open the door of the church and let the others who don't have time to come back enter the church." Men with weapons and armor stand beside me, each with a torch! You stand in groups of three, back to back, with torches on the periphery. Remember, don't leave the range where the firelight can illuminate!"
Listening to this voice, Yang Yi looked in the direction where the voice sounded. I saw Alda standing in the middle of the crowd, holding a staff in his right hand and a torch in his right hand, the fire was shining on his face, and the white hair and white beard were standing still in the firelight.
Yang Yi immediately ran to him, unsure what to call him, "Master......"
Alda nodded, waved his hand, and said to Yang Yi, "Pastor Raymond, please take people to the altar to pray for the protection of the gods."
"Yes, Pastor Southkeen!" Yang Yi took the potion into his arms and led the people who Arda waved inside.
Yang Yi had no experience in how to pray. Obviously, he was the only one with no experience. Most of the villagers, dressed as experienced in this regard, had already walked under the altar on their own, kneeling there and began to pray quietly. There, there was a statue of the great god of the Trinity, crucified, looking down at the heavens and the earth with a ring of thorns on his head.
For such a situation, Yang Yi, who had been an atheist for eighteen years, of course, could not help much, so he hurried back to Alda's side.
Alda glanced at Yang Yi who came back, didn't say much, and handed a torch to Yang Yi to hold. In front of him, a group of peasants armed with swords and spears stood by as they watched with bated breath as the church door was being opened.
Yang Yi quietly approached Alda, hesitated for a moment, and called in a low voice, "Grandpa, what's wrong?"
"Why did you forget? Call me Pastor Sothkorn in front of outsiders. I'll call you Pastor Raymond. Alda whispered, "The treacherous fog has invaded. This time, I don't know if the church will be saved. If the church is lost, without the protection of the power of light, everyone will be doomed. ”
Yang Yi understood the meaning of Alda's words halfway, but the worry in his words was ten out of ten.
"What is the Mist?"
Alda stretched out his hand and pointed to the sky, and Yang Yi looked in the direction he was pointing, but saw nothing.
"I didn't see anything. ”
"Look carefully, and condense the strength into your eyes. Alda said calmly.
Yang Yi listened, only to say that he was not focused enough, and immediately focused on the direction that Alda pointed out and looked with all his strength again.
At this glance, a strange scene suddenly appeared in front of me, as if the blurred scenery in the distance suddenly became clear, as if looking through a telescope. What a hell! Yang Yi's heart was shocked, and when he was about to blurt out the exclamation in his mouth, the scenery he saw made his face change immediately.
In the direction Alda pointed, a thick dark gray mist was coming quickly, as fast as a speeding locomotive.
From a distance, I saw that at the end of the horizon, a thick fog obscured the sky, like a tsunami dozens of stories high, and like the most violent sandstorm, with a situation similar to two terrible natural disasters, but without their momentum, it was approaching in a silent and terrible dynamic.
The common dense fog is like a cloud, giving people a soft and weightless feeling. The thick fog that hit in the distance looked thick and heavy, and a huge tide of dark gray fog rolled in, mixed with a huge treacherous aura. Anyone who sees the fog moving at this speed knows that it is not normal.
It might have been better if it had been like a tsunami or a sandstorm, with the terrifying sound of the sky falling apart. Like the dense fog in front of you, the silent invasion came, and the amazing scene formed a huge contrast with the silent advance, which was the real horror.
The wolf that can bark only makes people look different, and the wolf that does not bark is the good eater who sneaks in the shadows!
The urgent bell in the church is still ringing desperately, with the thick and silent invasion of the silent, thrilling bell and the silent fog form a strong contrast, behind is a noisy background, but what you see is a black and white silent movie, but there is a strange and dark feeling. It rolled forward quickly, and for a moment, the fog suddenly turned into a large, hideous face, which had disappeared before Yang Yi could really look closely. Yang Yi's face suddenly changed, he didn't know if others had seen it, but he really saw it clearly.
In just an instant, a chill surged all over his body, and a thick sense of evil was conveyed through the thick fog.
"How far are you?" Alda asked in a low voice.
Yang Yi looked at the dense fog that was rushing from the sky, and also asked in a low voice, "You didn't see it?"
Alda shook her head: "The people on the tower used a lookout to find it. I can't see with my eyes. No one else can see without tools, only you can see with your eyes. Suddenly reminded in a low voice: "Don't turn your head, now your eyes are different from normal people, don't be discovered!"
Yang Yi's heart was shocked, he didn't know what the reason was, after Alda reminded him to concentrate, what he saw was far beyond the distance of a normal person. It seems that Alda knows more secrets about her strange body than she ever imagined!
"How far are we to get here?" Alda asked.
Yang Yi's mind was in turmoil, and breaking through the normal line of sight distance made him unable to adapt to it in a short period of time, and he couldn't correctly estimate the location of the dense fog. But look at its incredible speed, it will be here in two to three minutes at most!
