The piles of leaves beside the trees were deliberately opened. This kind of piles of leaves fell completely naturally, and there was no need to put in any special arrangements.
Similarly, when escaping, there is no need to deliberately stop and mark.
This was discovered by the three of them after they often stayed in the forest, so they regarded it as their own secret code.
The two people who saw the mark looked at each other, pointed the light of the flashlight into the depths of the forest, and Ankel said: "Let's go."
At this time, Fudo, who had entered the depths of the forest one step ahead of them, couldn't help but have a smile on his face when he looked at the traces of soil being turned over on the ground.
Unexpectedly, I spent most of my energy on the search, and ended up finding clues in a random kid.
"The devil's footprints are still young and fresh." She kept looking for the footprints and followed them, knowing that the footprints would not exist for long.
The fog in the forest deepened, and the eerie feeling became more intense. The beam of the flashlight alone could not penetrate this layer of fog. Although it was a familiar forest, Ya'erli and Ankel seemed to be lost at this time.
Headless flies.
The mark left by Bart quickly disappeared. Apparently he no longer had the energy to mark it while escaping, or he might have been overtaken by the demon...
Anker shook his head and threw the thought that he didn't want to believe out of his mind.
"This is not normal..." Ya'erli suddenly whispered.
"What did you find?" Anker asked.
Ya'erli nodded and pointed to the surrounding trees or lawns and said: "We have been in the forest for so long, but we haven't heard the sound of insects at all. You know, you would hear it no matter it was day or night."
"That is to say...that demon is in the forest now. It is really here to find Bart!" Ya'erli looked around, his nerves already tense.
"Remember what the note said... The person who lights the last candle will become a sacrifice to the devil. Anker, maybe the devil is actually looking for you. I called you here, which was a completely wrong choice.
, you may die from this!" At this point, Ya'er became extremely self-blame.
"Yarli, I'm fine now, don't think too much! The most important thing for us now is to find Bart!" Anker growled at Yarli, calming down the gradually collapsing Yarli.
"...Okay, you're right."
At this time, only Anker knew in her heart that she would not be used as a sacrifice by the demon, because after returning home from the ceremony, Saxir had already helped her remove the mark on her body...
However, Anker did not ask Saxir what the devil would do if he lost the sacrifice during the ritual.
"We must save Bart!" Anker said suddenly.
Whether it's for their own reasons or for other reasons, they must save Bart.
"Keep walking." Anker said.
Ya'erli looked at Anker who was walking in front of him, had no other opinions, and immediately followed him.
As time goes by slowly, the hour hand slowly approaches four o'clock in the morning.
Ya'er and Anker, who did not carry any watches, obviously did not notice the change of time. The fog in the forest had become so thick that the visibility was less than fifty meters.
It would undoubtedly be a bit more difficult to find Bart in such a fog.
"Bart! Where are you!?" Anker lowered his voice and called around.
Except for the occasional echoes from tree holes or rock walls, there were no other echoes. The two of them became more and more anxious. The longer time passed, the more dangerous Bart became.
"We can't find him...What should we do now?" After a long time, Ya'erli said.
No matter how they searched, it was difficult to see Bart in this fog, and they might even encounter the demon. Arli had to consider some terrible times.
At least Ankel is a girl, and he must stand up to protect her when in danger.
"Dad should have sent the search team into the forest. Maybe they can find Bart."
Ankel couldn't help but get angry when she heard Ya'er's somewhat withdrawn tone. She looked at Ya'er angrily and said to him: "If you are scared, you can go back first. I will go find Bart by myself."
!”
"No, Anker, that's not what I meant. I just want to say that asking the adults to come together will be more efficient than what we are doing now!" However, Ya'erli's explanation seemed a little pale in front of Anker.
Children's self-esteem does not allow them to do such things and abandon their peers.
"Then you go find them. I'll go find Bart by myself." After Ankel finished speaking, he walked forward without looking back. It didn't take long for his figure to be obscured by the fog and disappeared in Ya'erli.
in front of.
At this time, Anker was not calm. After knowing that the demon originally planned to come to her, Anker felt an unspeakable guilt in her heart, as if she had harmed Bart.
"Anker! Anker, don't walk so fast. Why don't you let me go with you?" Ya'erli didn't expect that Anker would leave directly. He had no choice but to catch up.
After chasing for a long time in the fog, just when Ya'erli thought he was about to lose track, he finally saw Ankel in front of him stop, and he chased after him with a sigh of relief.
He patted Ankel on the shoulder from behind and decisively admitted his mistake and said: "I was wrong, okay? Let's find Bart together..."
However, before he could hear Anker's response, Ya'erli raised his head and saw the same scene as Anker, which was a slender figure in the fog.
At first, Ya'erli didn't react. It wasn't until he felt the trembling from Ankel's shoulders that he came back to his senses.
It's that demon! It's the demon that Bart talks about!
They met!
Ya'erli's feet went weak and he almost sat down on the ground.
The demon's body remained motionless. It seemed to have its back to the two of them, and it didn't seem to notice their presence.
But Ya'erli and Ankel didn't dare to make any move. Their bodies became a little stiff due to extreme tension.
Suddenly, the sound of Shasha's movement came from one side of the forest. The sound was neither loud nor quiet, and Ya'erli and Ankel could just hear it.
At the same time, the demon in front of them suddenly turned around, its long arms that were hanging naturally opened suddenly, and its body faced the direction of the sound.
This sudden action made Anker, who was nervous, suddenly frightened and screamed.
Yes, she was frightened by the devil's sudden movement and screamed out, which seemed extremely harsh in this quiet forest.
Their bodies trembled because they saw.
In front of the mist, the demon, who was originally facing one side without noticing the two of them, slowly turned around, with a pair of vermilion pupils that looked particularly strange in the white mist.
