Whispering Poems

Chapter 149 The Murloc in the Darkness
The fog in the alley is thicker than that of the river, and there is a strong smell of dampness in the fog.And the closer to the Daisy's house, the stronger the smell of dampness, and even a faint stench.

This weird taste not only means the problem of ichthyosis, but also seems to be followed by a more terrible force from the sea.
The figure of the match girl with a basket was at the front, followed by Miss Louisa, and Xia De was at the end.His hands were shining with the light of the silver moon, always ready to deal with possible attacks.

Fortunately, it was night now, and night was when he had the strongest fighting power.

When he finally got close to the house, Xia De noticed that there were faint golden cracks under his skin.It's not clear, but it's certainly there.

He frowned:

"Dream?"

[No, I'm sure this is reality. 】

"Miss Louisa, look."

The blond female writer turned her head and saw the traces and golden brilliance on Xia De's body. She was puzzled at first, and then her face was a little ugly:

"I'm afraid this area is being dragged into a horrible place. I don't know how your 'decorations' work, but it must be bad."

While speaking, she had already come to the door, and Miss Louisa asked Xia De to back away, and let her push the door.But Xia De didn't retreat at all, instead he grabbed the female writer's wrist and pulled her behind him:

"Miss Louisa, I don't want to hold you or leave this place with you on my back."

He was joking, but his expression was firm:
"This time it's up to me."

He had confronted the gods twice, chatted and laughed with the old gods in the toy store, and was still thinking about the secrets of the old gods and touching the statues of the old gods a few hours ago.In terms of mental resistance and the anti-pollution ability of the soul, even the two Miss Louisa combined cannot compare with him.

In the darkness, he stared into the green eyes of the blonde girl:
"Match girl is in front, I am in the middle, you are behind, holding my hand. After entering the house, try not to open your eyes, just follow me forward. I can feel it, the exit is here"

In fact, it was "she" who reminded him in his ear that she could feel the special traces in the room, which was the privilege of possessing the core rune of [Time and Space].

"Detective, no, Xia De be careful."

Dorothy Louisa also looked into Shad's eyes, then nodded slightly, and took the initiative to grab Shad's wrist.

Xia De turned to look at the door in front of him, took a deep breath, pushed gently, and the door was opened.

The thick darkness seemed to be drifting out from the door, the figure of Match Girl was a little blurred, and the golden light marks on Xia De's body became more obvious.The particles of light drifted backwards as he moved forward. Since Lakeview Manor, this was the most dangerous action.

"But it's actually not dangerous. The biggest danger lies in the murlocs, and the 'more terrifying power' doesn't seem to have really come here."

Thinking in my heart, I stepped into the room, and I could hardly see my fingers around me.The damp and stench in the air was so strong that it was almost impossible to breathe.The cold wind was blowing on his body, and the biting coolness made Xia De's scalp tingle.

[Probably in the room on the left. 】

"left."

He said softly, and the match girl walking in front immediately turned to the left.Her figure is blurred, but the brass-colored enlightenment light on her body can illuminate the front.

A black shadow appeared in front, and the roaring murloc rushed up.

"I come."

Miss Louisa, who was almost sticking to Xia De's back, said in Xia De's right ear, the match girl took out a match from the basket, and the lit match head rushed forward.The flames ignited the murloc, causing it to retreat into the darkness with a silent scream, while the phantom of the Match girl was even more dimmed by this attack.

As he continued to move forward, whispers gradually sounded in his ears. For some reason, Xia De thought of the last wails of people who drowned in the water.

"Smile."

He said to his heart, and then, his left ear heard her laughter.

While getting rid of the influence of the whispering voice, his right hand suddenly pointed forward, and the silver moonlight burst out, shining on the slightly shorter murloc.

The match girl took out a match again, and the flames drove the second murloc back.Its rotting face and shape that completely violated human aesthetics, even though I saw it once last night, still made Xia De very uncomfortable.

"A match girl can only use four matches."

Miss Louisa said in Shad's right ear.

"clear."

He endured the illusion that there seemed to be countless creatures around him peeping at him, and followed the match girl and continued to walk forward.The piercing cries of the murlocs appeared on the left and right at the same time, as if something in the dark was attacking from both sides at the same time.

"right."

Keen intuition gave the answer directly, without even a hint from "her".

"right!"

He reminded loudly that the third match in the match girl's hand forced the murloc back.Xia De also took this opportunity to see more physical features of the murlocs.

Compared with the murloc that got out of control last night, this time there were more aquatic plants on the murloc, and the aquatic plants were almost completely fused with the rotting fish scales.In addition, there was a rope around the murloc's feet.

He described these details to Miss Louisa, who said in his right ear:

"I probably know which evil god is attracted. I can't say his name now. Be careful to hold your breath at any time. We may feel that we are immersed in water at any time."

"Ok."

Xia De continued to follow the almost transparent Match Girl forward, the damp wind blew from behind, the Match Girl disappeared in front of Xia De, and appeared behind Miss Louisa.

The last match lit up, and the burning match girl jumped at the fourth murloc, and disappeared into the darkness together with it in the burst of flames.

Miss Louisa snorted, this thaumaturgy ended with four matches, rather than actively canceling the effect, it was also harmful to her.

"Close."

Xia De said in a low voice, flicking the light of the silver moon in his hand to his right.The moonlight of Yinyue illuminated the surroundings on the way forward, and it was only a momentary thing, but Xia De actually saw their surroundings, surrounded by countless corpses that looked like giants.

Those corpses were quietly and eerily suspended in the air, as if the surrounding air was liquid.

The sound of splashing water suddenly appeared in his ears, and Xia De, who was breathing, felt that he had inhaled a big mouthful of water.He immediately closed his breath, his eyes could not be opened because of the water, but the voice of "her" in his left ear was still guiding him forward.

Xia De held Miss Louisa's hand tightly, and then stopped suddenly after a dozen steps forward again.The feeling of being immersed in water disappeared, and when he opened his eyes, he saw the door of the small house of the Dais family in front of him.The door is open, and this is the exit. If you leave here, you will be able to leave this area where you don't know where you are going to be pulled.

"Miss Louisa, let's hurry up"

But only halfway through the words, Xia De stopped.
