A rain of blood fell down covering the entire town.
The dilapidated town glowed with blood, and the mottled blood stains covering every corner made it look like internal organs.
Whispers sounded in the dark corners, weird crawling sounds passed by on the streets, and the screams of flapping wings hovered in the sky.
These echoed in Lu Li's ears.
Balloons with human heads danced and scattered in the wind, oppressive night demons lingered in the sky, and black silhouettes peeked out from behind unlit windows.
Lu Li's black eyes reflected everything on the street.
A breeze blew by, and the falling threads of blood rain slanted.
The head balloons on the street swayed and turned away, the wandering night devil flew into the distance, and the black silhouette behind the window swayed and disappeared.
clatter--
A pair of rain boots stepped out and stepped into the water.
Lu Li, who was standing in the dark alley observing the street, walked out, followed by Qiaoqiao and Fran who hurriedly followed.
Fran hunched over and tried his best to look inconspicuous, but he soon discovered that Lu Li's back was straight, like a gentleman in a hurry rather than a sneaky escape.
Under his influence, Qiao Qiao did the same, just looking around while crossing the street.
Fran, who was moving quietly, fell behind. He had to straighten his upper body and trot to catch up with Lu Li's back. He whispered hastily: "We, shouldn't we walk more secretly?"
"The street has an unobstructed view, even if a stone crosses the street it will attract attention."
So the method Lu Li chose was to quickly pass through when the surrounding family members didn't notice it.
He almost succeeded.
The uncertain wind direction caused the human-head balloons not far away to flutter and spin in the wind. A human-head balloon suddenly stopped rotating, and the smiling face on the balloon faced the three people in the middle of the street.
Then more faces turned around.
Qiaoqiao, who was observing the situation, was the first to notice the heads floating in the air, tugging at Lu Li's fleshy wings.
"Never look at them!" Fran reminded them at this time.
Qiao Qiao quickly turned her head and observed with only her peripheral vision.
"Rush over."
Lu Li no longer suppressed the movement and moved his legs to rush towards the house opposite.
Jojo and Fran followed closely behind, and the sound of running through the stagnant water echoed in the street.
Squeak——
The door of the cafe opposite opened on its own, revealing a dark interior.
The three running people rushed into the cafe. Behind them, the door closed automatically and the latch was hung.
Lu Li and others who hid in the cafe distanced themselves from the door, breathing slightly and staring at the door with their hearts beating——
Bang——Bang——
Qiaoqiao was startled by the sudden slight knocking sound of the door and blinked.
They can't get in.
Fran murmured in pain: "I...I saw Aunt Sophia in them...has she turned into this ghost too!"
After his parents died, his neighbor's Aunt Sophia often helped him.
Lu Li looked around the first floor of the cafe. The outlines of tables and chairs in the dim light seemed to be covered with gauze and had been dusty for a long time.
"Are these balloons from the townspeople here?" He looked at Fran.
"It used to be...I saw how they turned into such monsters..." Fran didn't want to think of that bad memory, but still said to Lu Li: "I saw old Qiaosen turned into a balloon and floating towards
His neighbor and son Xiao Qiaosen. The neighbors ran away in fright. Only Xiao Qiaosen still looked at his "father" with a sad head on his face. Xiao Qiaosen stretched out his hand to hold his father's hand.
head, but old Qiaoson dodged, and the "thread" under the balloon wrapped around little Qiaoson's neck, and then...then..."
Fran's eyes widened, and his body shook and trembled with fear: "Little Qiaosen's head also floated, and the spine below turned into the thread of the balloon..."
For an ordinary person, this scene is enough to break through all his cognitions based on reality and collapse his sanity.
After the disaster struck, many townspeople went crazy and shouted because they witnessed horrors beyond common sense, and were killed by the weirdos who came after hearing the news.
After Fran finished speaking, he noticed that Lu Li looked away and looked to one side.
The sound of Qiaoqiao gasping for air suddenly sounded.
"Is this the case?"
Fran felt extremely uneasy. He turned his head in the direction of Lu Li and Qiao Qiao and saw a scene that froze his soul.
Outside the window next to the door of the cafe, balloons with human heads were crowded, spying on the people inside with half-smiling faces. One of the female heads had a sad face, looking at Fran quietly through the window.
"Aunt Sophia..."
Fran couldn't help but walk towards the window. His approach made the balloons tremble like little devils. But the next moment, Fran stopped and retreated deeper into the cafe, shaking his head to deny it all.
"No, she is already dead, and now you are just using her body!"
"Aunt Sophia" outside the window didn't respond at all, just observing with numb sadness.
"You are right, she is dead, and now there are just monsters outside." Qiao Qiao comforted Fran who retreated with tears streaming down his face.
The balloons with human heads outside the cafe window suddenly disappeared and left the window, including "Aunt Sophia".
Fran stopped and looked outside with red and swollen eyes.
"They gave up...?" Qiao Qiao whispered.
Obviously not.
Head balloons reappeared outside the windows on the side of the cafe.
Qiaoqiao understood instantly and looked at Fran standing in the middle of the cafe: "They are following you...do they still know you?"
"Maybe not."
Lu Li said, taking off his flesh wings and throwing them to Fran. "Put them on."
Fran caught it subconsciously, came to his senses in a daze, and covered his body with wings like Qiao Qiao.
A new situation emerged. The human-headed balloons gathered around and circled to the window closest to Lu Li. This time, the sadness on Aunt Sophia's face had disappeared and turned into a half-smile like the other human-headed balloons.
The human-headed balloon and the night devil will not attack each other, they belong to the same evil god.
After confirming this, Lu Li continued to make further deductions.
The believers of the Swamp Mother showed unnatural expressions after touching the flesh wings of the Night Demon. Combined with the battle between the two evil gods, it can be judged that the Human Head Balloon and the Night Demon are dependents of the unknown evil god.
The existences active in the Shadow Swamp, such as Hexapods and Shadowmen, belong to the Swamp Mother.
The faceless figure is unknown, and the other family members who have not yet been seen are unknown.
Bang - Bang -
The human-head balloons lightly hit the window, and were suddenly swept away by the blowing wind and disappeared above the window.
"They disappeared."
Qiaoqiao was relieved. It felt uncomfortable to be surrounded by a group of heads, even if they didn't pay attention to him.
Lu Li didn't think so. He raised his head and stared at the ceiling in the darkness. His black eyes seemed to penetrate the wooden boards and see what was happening on the second floor.
Bang——
As if in response to Lu Li's suspicion, the sound of heavy objects falling was heard from the second floor.
