On a balcony, a thin figure sat quietly on the rocks, staring blankly into the distance.
If someone were standing in front of this figure at this time, they would probably be shocked by the dignity of this figure.
The flesh and blood all over his body had completely withered away, leaving only the skin and bones, and the black rotting body. It looked like a mummy sealed in dust underground, which was terrifying and terrifying.
The mummy was wrapped in a black robe and was sitting on a stone, quietly looking at the primitive and lively city in the distance, with a pair of scarlet eyes that did not waver at all.
"Father, what are you looking at?" A calm voice sounded from behind.
Deep in the room, Adil, wearing a coarse cloth robe and a pair of animal skin boots, walked out of the dim room and came behind the mummy.
"I'm watching the dusk in this city."
Feeling Adil's breath behind him, the mummy didn't even look back, looking at the scenery in the distance and saying quietly.
It was dusk at this time, and the sun in the sky was gradually setting, spreading golden light on the earth. While illuminating the surroundings, it also heralded the coming of the dark night.
It was obviously just an ordinary scenery, but Senger looked at it very carefully. His scarlet eyes did not waver at all, and he stared blankly at the people coming and going on the street in the distance, like a calm observer.
Be silent.
"The time is almost here." He murmured to himself, looking at the sun that was about to set in the distant sky, his eyes seemed a little complicated.
Adil was stunned: "What?"
In front of him, Senger, who was withered and like a rotting mummy, was wearing a sacrificial robe. He turned around silently and looked at Adil in front of him.
Being stared at by such a terrifying mummy, an ordinary person, even a powerful psychic, would definitely feel hairy and have an urge to stay away.
But Adil was very calm. He looked at the mummy in front of him quietly, feeling the complexity of the other person's gaze. Not only was his face calm, but there was no fluctuation in his heart, as if he was just an ordinary person in front of him.
"you···"
After staring quietly for a long time, a hoarse voice broke the silence.
Looking at Adil, Senger's eyes were a little complicated, and the expression on his face twitched, as if he was a little surprised: "Aren't you... afraid of me?"
"Why should you be afraid?" Adil responded calmly: "Fear can never solve problems, it can only bring new problems."
"Moreover, compared to this, you still have your own sanity. This is what surprises me the most."
"It's your blood that has brought about changes in me." Senger's eyes became more complicated: "As early as when you first appeared, I knew your identity. You were not a person from this city."
··”
Hearing this, Adil's face changed slightly, but he didn't speak.
"This city is made up of everyone. Every time an outsider enters, we will be awakened once, and we will eat separately based on our bloodline." Looking at Adier, Senge said to himself.
"Eating?" Adil frowned, seeming a little confused about this.
"Yes, eat." Senger nodded: "The world is constantly changing. Every once in a while, the environment will undergo drastic changes and enter what you outsiders call a period of silence, causing the entire city to fall into sleep."
"Sleeping consumes strength, so in order to accumulate the power needed when sleeping, we can only continue to hunt outsiders one after another and use their souls to replenish us with new strength to support us in continuing to sleep."
"And the so-called bloodline pulling is your method? Based on this, you allocate candidates for each meal?" Adil looked coldly and looked at Senger in front of him and spoke calmly.
He was not surprised that Senger had reached the silent period of the curse.
As a famous forbidden place in this world, a considerable number of psychics must have entered this city in the past, and there must have been a lot of people trapped in it. Their souls were devoured, and some of their memories were lost to this city.
The acquisition of this city is not a surprise.
"Bloodline is indeed the proof that we eat."
In front of him, listening to Adil's indifferent words, Senger nodded and admitted this point very directly: "Take this as an example, in this city full of people, this time, only the ones who have really woken up are
It’s just me.”
Hearing this, Adil's expression remained unchanged, but his heart felt relieved.
Only Senge in front of him was awake, which meant that this time Leon was not exposed, so that the entire forbidden area's attention was attracted to Adil.
But on the surface, his expression remained indifferent: "Why don't you take action?"
The cold voice fell, but there was no reply from the person opposite.
Standing there, looking at Adier in front of him, Senger's eyes were a little complicated, and there seemed to be some emotions in those scarlet eyes.
After a long time, he spoke: "At times like this, after our souls are revived, if we don't attack you within seven days, it means giving up automatically and giving up the opportunity to other souls in the city."
"I won't do anything to you, but when that time comes, all the other souls in the city will be revived. I hope you are ready."
After saying this, he lowered his head unconsciously, turned around silently, and continued to look at the scene in the city in front of him.
"It's like this every year, and every recovery is like this." He murmured, just looking at the scenery in the distance, and stopped talking.
Adil did not continue to try to communicate with him.
After confirming Senger's identity, feeling the passage of time, he simply broke away from the shackles of his current identity, left here directly, and walked towards the distance.
At this time, the sky was already dark, and the dim light shrouded the earth. Although it still existed, it was inevitably gradually dimming and was about to enter the night.
·························
"Is it going to get dark?"
In a very neat and tidy courtyard, Leon was dressed in linen. After looking up at the sky in the distance, he put down the farm tools in his hands and prepared to turn around and go back to the house.
After that meeting with Adil, his memory was covered again. Unless Adil stood in front of him and woke him up, otherwise under normal circumstances, the real memory would be covered by false memory.
.
At this time, according to past habits, after it was getting dark outside, he went back to the house and prepared to have a meal with his family.
It's just that the atmosphere in the room today was obviously a little abnormal. Even though Leon was dominated by false memories at this time, he still felt something was wrong for the first time.
"Where are the people?"
He looked at the empty room in the house, a little confused.
The Karadis family is not a small family. On the contrary, there are many members of this family. Usually when they are in the house, many people should have gathered at this time, sitting and chatting while waiting for the next dinner.
But now, the house is completely empty, not even a fly can be found, let alone other clan members.
tread···
A gentle treading sound sounded from the roof, as if someone was walking upstairs, with slow but firm steps.
"Is it upstairs?"
Leon was a little confused, but his heart was inexplicably a little hairy.
In his heart, there was a sense of fear rising at this time, and a feeling from the bottom of his heart was reminding him to escape from this place quickly.
"Am I too sensitive? This is my home, there is nothing to be afraid of." He shook his head and laughed at himself: "It seems that my illness is not cured yet. I just feel scared after being alone for a while."
To this point."
tread···
The stampeding sound was still ringing upstairs, but now they were gradually approaching the stairs. It seemed like someone was walking down the stairs with great difficulty, taking every step with great effort.
"Child..." A hoarse, dull voice came from upstairs, as if the voice was lowered deliberately, and the voice was uncomfortable to hear.
"Father." Listening to the voice, Leon turned around subconsciously and looked behind him.
The next moment, his eyes widened and his scalp felt numb.
Behind him, a skinny black mummy slowly walked down from the roof. The outline was somewhat similar to the person in Leon's memory, but his face looked extremely terrifying at this time, which was enough to make people afraid to come into contact with it.
"you!!"
Looking at this familiar figure that looked like a mummy, Leon's scalp went numb, and he subconsciously wanted to scream to vent the fear and terror in his heart.
A black, skinny arm covered with corpse hair suddenly stretched out from in front of him.
Under Liang's fearful gaze, a strange smile appeared on the face of the mummy opposite him, and a pair of scarlet eyes with endless devouring desire were staring at him firmly.
Ahhhh!!!
He watched helplessly as the arm stretched out towards him, trying to avoid it, but his body was completely unable to react. He could only scream instinctively, and the fear in his heart could not be increased.
Bang!!
It was like a huge boulder coming from afar, bringing with it a strong wind and a violent impact.
The next moment, the black arm that was gradually expanding in the line of sight suddenly stopped, and then, together with the mummy, it was smashed away by a huge force and hit the wall behind it hard, smashing out the entire wall.
A big hole.
"What..." Leon was stunned for a moment. Before he could realize what was happening, he found an additional figure in front of him.
It was the figure of a thin boy, wrapped in a common animal skin robe of this era, with his arms hanging naturally. He was standing in front of Leon, looking at the mummy lying on the ground in front of him, with a calm and natural temperament.
.
"Are you... Amuri?"
After being stunned for a long time, he remembered the name of the boy in front of him and subconsciously said it.
"Aren't you awake yet?" Turning around slightly and looking at Leon beside him, Adier shouted loudly, and a huge amount of spiritual power rushed along an item on his body and passed to Leon.
