In the morning, Shirley felt that today's Wangyue City was very different from the past.
As for the reason, it was probably because yesterday someone from the Wolf family came to her and asked her if she wanted to be a storyteller.
Before the day before yesterday, she had never even heard of the profession of storyteller, but after listening to the good-looking young man telling stories, she had firmly remembered this profession in her heart.
Shirley thought that such a noble profession would be impossible for people like her to have access to.
So when the opportunity suddenly appeared in front of her, she suppressed the ecstasy in her heart and agreed.
She believes that this is a good career and that at least the three children can live a better life, because she believes in the young man named Andy and also believes in the Lang family.
But Shirley's mood at the moment was not beautiful.
She had agreed with the Wolf family to go there this afternoon, because in the morning she would go to the lumberyard owner to ask for her wages for the work she had done in the previous few days.
Although Shirley's body is disabled, her strength is still far beyond that of ordinary people. When it comes to physical work, one of the few is better than five.
The boss promised to triple her salary.
But just now her boss only gave her one-third of her due salary.
Thinking of the three children at home and the opportunity before her, Shirley endured this sigh.
When passing the tavern, Shirley thought about it and decided to buy only a bottle of sweet fruit wine for her three children.
She originally wanted to buy a bottle for herself, a bottle for each of her three children, and some street snacks that the children often peeked at, so as to celebrate this good fortune with them.
If we do this now, the family will have too little money left in case anything happens.
Just as Shirley was calculating these and walking up the steps of the pub, her body suddenly froze and she looked up in disbelief.
She didn't even raise her head just now, but she seemed to see the red clouds coming in and covering the sky.
Shirley looked up as if seeking confirmation, but found that it was not her imagination. There seemed to be red cloud waves with blazing flames hidden inside. They came in layers like waves from all directions, and in an instant, they filled the entire sky.
She was not the only one who stopped to look up. The guests in the tavern were leaning against the windows to look out, and the people on the street were also rubbing their eyes in disbelief.
The red clouds covering the sky became thicker and redder, as if they were not clouds but lava that was about to pour down. Shirley even thought she could smell the burning sulfur smell.
As a former mercenary, she suddenly remembered the scene where a powerful demon descended from what she had heard.
The devil is about to appear? No, children. As soon as Shirley had this idea, she saw red clouds drooping down, like a heart beating, and like some powerful being was struggling to come out.
Just a trace of aura leaked out, making it difficult for her to even take a step.
The agitation of silence became stronger and stronger. Even though the scene was silent, Shirley still seemed to hear the banging and the sound of flesh being torn apart.
The two voices became more and more intense, until a pair of ferocious bloody hands stretched out from the cloud, grabbed both sides of Tong Yun, and pulled the cloud out into a huge hole.
In the dark hollow, a burning vertical eye lit up. It approached the hollow from far to near, as if observing the ants below.
Facing those eyes, a chill went straight from Shirley's tailbone to her brain. What kind of devil was this? She even felt that she had become its food.
Fortunately, the devil's prying eyes were far away and retracted into the hole. But before Shirley could relax, she saw another devil's claw extending from the hole and grabbing at her. She was like a frightened puppet and couldn't even avoid it.
Can't do it.
And Shirley was not the only one who felt this way, everyone looking up at the sky had similar thoughts.
Are you going to die? Before everyone could feel despair, they suddenly saw the clouds and waves surging violently, like shackles wrapping the devil's claws, making it difficult for it to move in, and even forcing it back into the hole little by little.
Seeing the devil's claws go away, Shirley's heart filled with joy of escaping.
But suddenly, the claws that had been retracted suddenly expanded again, and an eyeball with a vertical pupil even appeared in the palm of his hand.
During the pulling back and forth, the devil seemed to realize that he gave up the struggle and took the initiative to break his claws with the help of clouds.
Claws fell from the sky like meteors.
Without the devil's claws to block it, the hole in the cloud was quickly filled, completely blocking the devil's greedy eyes, and then dispersed as quickly as it came.
Shirley felt no joy in her heart. Although the devil did not come out, its claws remained. Such a terrifying existence could cause a catastrophe even if only its claws were left.
Even if it is not a disaster, a random storm is not something someone like her can bear.
She stared at the claw that was still falling, wanting to see where it had gone and wanting someone to deal with it as soon as possible.
The devil's claw fell silently into an inconspicuous manor, turning into a blood-red giant egg that beat like a heart.
Which manor is this?
Shirley tried her best to keep her eyes open, but she still felt that her eyes were foggy and she couldn't see clearly what the manor looked like.
However, the egg in the manor is particularly clear, and you can even see the thick blood vessels around it, and the contraction like breathing.
Now even the most ignorant people realize that there is a monster in the blood egg.
She had to find the manor and destroy the egg. This was how Shirley came up with the idea. She saw the manor zooming away and refocused at the door of the manor. The fog in front of her eyes disappeared and everything became clear.
At the gate of the manor, Shirley saw a hunchbacked gatekeeper wearing a black cloak, feeding a terrifyingly large dog with shiny fur.
The food he fed to the dog was a clearly visible severed human leg.
Shirley heard herself retching.
A man and a dog seemed to have heard her voice, and they all looked at her.
Only then did Shirley realize that the gatekeeper's face was covered by his cloak. His eyes were white and his cheeks were fleshless, as if he had been sucked dry by something.
These two are definitely not normal creatures.
At the same time that Shirley had this idea, she heard the voice of a woman talking.
She turned around, or the scene in front of her changed from what she thought, allowing her to see the scene behind her.
There were two girls, one older and one younger. One of them was the little princess Scarlett, and the other Shirley felt a little familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had seen them before.
The two of them seemed unaware of the changes in the manor, nor did they know that a strange and disgusting person and a dog were looking towards them.
Scarlett was begging the older girl excitedly: "Sister, play the castle adventure game with me. I searched for a long time before I found this abandoned castle."
"No, you can't go anywhere dangerous."
"There won't be any danger. This is just an ordinary abandoned castle. Just let me go and have fun. Please."
"no."
Scarlett's eyes rolled around and she changed her tone, "I don't want to go out with you anymore, I want to play with brother Andy."
These words made Shirley stay where she was. She actually heard the name Andy from Scarlett's mouth, and also heard the little princess call him brother Andy.
Everyone in the north knows that the wolf family will not recognize relatives randomly.
Before Shirley could straighten out her thoughts, she heard a familiar girl say: "Then go and ask him yourself, he is right behind..."
"Be careful!" the girl turned and shouted urgently.
The scene moved again, showing the scene behind it as if complying with Shirley's needs.
The big dog opened its ferocious mouth, jumped up, and bit Scarlett.
