Chapter 38 What's Hidden in the Darkness

When Lilina returned home, she didn't know if it was an illusion. She always felt that something was wrong with her house, but she couldn't tell what was wrong.

"Esde, has anyone been here at home?" Lilina, who was confused, asked Esde.

"..." Esther was silent.

Lilina knew that Est was delayed in speaking now, so after asking the question, she started busying herself with her own affairs. It should be a while before Est would speak.

Sure enough, just as Lilina thought, Esther's voice came after four or five seconds: "No."

Lilina didn't say anything. She just asked casually and put the purchased food on the table.

"Let's eat. I went out to buy some today." Because of Esther, she had to prepare dinner by herself.

In fact, after Esther became like this, he went to the kitchen to cook once, but almost burned down the house. After that, Lilina decided that Esther would never let him enter the kitchen until he recovered.

.

However, the food outside is always not as delicious as the food cooked at home, and Lilina rarely pays attention to these. After buying it home and tasting it, she found that the taste was not very satisfactory.

Sighing and pushing the tasteless food aside, Lilina was almost desperate for her life skills. After all, she didn't need to worry about these things by herself in the past. Her parents had prepared everything, and they were there.

For a period of time after her parents died, Lilina didn't realize this problem, because after that Esther helped her arrange everything.

But now, when no one could help her, she realized that she couldn't take good care of herself at all.

"Ah, don't always spill rice on the table!"

Esther looked ahead with dull eyes, and a mouthful of rice on the spoon in his hand was completely spilled on the table.

Lilina was helpless. She could only get up and pick up a towel, wipe the table, pick up the rice and throw it away. Lilina glanced at Ested who was in a daze. Esider looked like he had Alzheimer's disease.

of.

"Well, were you talking bad about me just now?"

"Why are you so sharp at this time!?"

At eight o'clock in the evening, Lilina ran out of the house with her wallet in her hand. It was not that she liked night outings, but the paper towels at home had been used up. Unexpectedly, she didn't realize that there were no paper towels at home until after they were used up.

She couldn't help but sympathize with Esther, because when she came out, Esther was still sitting on the toilet with a heavy look on her face.

"Hurry up and finish shopping and go back."

During the day, the streets in wealthy areas can be said to be peaceful, but at night, this tranquility becomes eerie. Although the slightly dim street lights illuminate the road ahead, it is not daytime after all. In the darkness beyond the light of the street lights

, maybe there is something hidden.

But for people who have walked this road a lot, they don’t think about it that much.

The same goes for Lilina. She has walked this road countless times.

However, this situation will soon change.

Lilina bought paper towels from a convenience store and walked on a familiar road. The evening breeze blew by, bringing a bit of coolness. The British climate is always so pleasant, even in the hot summer, it is still cool.

Suddenly, Lilina stopped.

She looked around, and just now, she heard a strange noise around her, as if someone was dragging something on the ground.

Another gust of breeze blew by, bringing with it a rotten smell that was nauseating.

This environment reminded her of the scene when she met the werewolf in the forest. Although she is very different now from the original, her mentality has not actually changed.

呲呲——

The sound like iron scraping against the ground became louder and louder, and Lilina realized that the sound was coming in her direction.

A rancid smell filled the air, making Lilina cover her nose unbearably.

Beyond the light of the street lamp, there seemed to be something else hidden in the darkness.

Although there are villas and mansions of rich people all around, there are very few rich people who live on this street for a long time. The money of the rich is not in vain, they also need to go out and do business.

Lilina focused her attention on her eyes, and the red pupils that were characteristic of the Vampires emerged. For the Vampires, night is their paradise, and seeing the night as day is just the basic of the basics. Although Lilina is still in the transition period, she is still in the transition period.

Already mastered this ability.

Hidden in the darkness was a rotten palm, with bamboo-like fingers, like an arm that had been rotting for several months, as if it had crawled out of the ground.

Lilina took a step back, instinctively feeling fear of the unknown.

"Hiss-ah!" The owner of the palm suddenly let out a scream.

Suddenly, the strange sound that was originally coming towards her stopped. Lilina was startled and turned around stiffly. She didn't know when a humanoid creature suddenly stood behind Lilina.

It is about 1.2 meters tall and has a slender body, or maybe it is just like this. It is holding a dirty lantern in its right hand, emitting a strange and quiet dim light. From behind it, two iron chains are dragging on the ground.

, extended backwards, and finally the end of the iron chain disappeared into the void invisible to Lilina.

Lilina couldn't tell whether the person in front of her was a dead person or a living person, or even whether the other person was a human being.

However, there was a corpse-like smell coming from the other party's body, which was extremely unpleasant.

Lilina could feel that the other person's eyes were on her.

There was nothing to say, Lilina tensed her body and directly exerted force, like a cat, she rushed out like a slingshot. Facing these strange existences, Lilina chose to run away. This was the most correct choice. She was not Ace.

Mort, there is absolutely no way to protect oneself in the face of these creatures.

At such times, the immortality becomes a form of torture.

The tall body did not catch up, which made Lilina relieved. If the other party caught up, Lilina didn't know if she could escape. Fortunately, the other party's purpose was not her.

Returning home with lingering fear, Lilina lay down directly on the sofa. After experiencing the horrific scene just now, she was about to cry. No matter how strong Lilina was, she was still a seventeen-year-old girl.

"Lilina, what happened?" Esther asked, hearing Lilina's sobbing voice.

Lilina wiped her face and said with force, "Esde, you will always be by my side, right?"

Esther was silent for a moment before his voice came: "You will always be by my side."

Lilina only felt her heart warm, and then she broke into tears and smiled.

"I'll ask you later what just happened. Now give me the paper." Esther said in the toilet.

Lilina's smile suddenly froze. She looked at the plastic bag with only half left in her hand and fell into deep thought.
