Every world is full of ghosts and monsters begging for hugs

At three o'clock in the morning, Bai Yao sat up from the bed. She rubbed her neck and felt sore in her back.

Starting about two months ago, she often felt more tired after waking up than before going to bed. Although she was a doctor, she could not find a reasonable reason to explain this phenomenon.

Speaking of which, what Bai Yao saw when she opened her eyes was this forest. She had no memory of her past in this world. Even she herself didn't know why she healed diseases and saved people.

The barking of a dog outside the house attracted her attention.

Bai Yao opened the window, and Garm was sitting outside the fence. When he felt Bai Yao's gaze, he screamed twice excitedly.

Bai Yao remembered what she promised Garm last night. She quickly washed up, picked up two pieces of ribs from the kitchen and ran outside.

Garm waggled his tail crazily and quickly bit into his mouth the bones Bai Yao threw.

Bai Yao squatted on the ground and touched Garm's dog head. She held her chin in one hand and said with a smile: "Garm, today I want to continue to see the deepest part of the forest. Will you come with me?"

Garm raised his head, "Woof!"

Bai Yao took it as a yes. She changed into clothes that made it easier to move around, took a piece of bread for breakfast, and headed deep into the forest with Garm.

From the location of the cabin where Bai Yao lived, she could vaguely see the shadow of a tall tower when she raised her head. She asked the residents in the forest, and they told her that there was a tower of silence standing in the deepest part of the forest.

I don’t know when that high tower was built, and I don’t know who its owner is. I just know that the place is covered with thorns, and all creatures are refused to step on it, so it is silent there, like a realm of death.

In fairy tales, there must be a princess living in a high tower.

Bai Yao had an intuition that she needed to go there to investigate, but she had tried many times, and every time there would be various situations on the road, as if there was some force in the dark that was preventing her from going to the tower.

Today is Bai Yao's thirteenth attempt.

A girl in a blue skirt and a black dog walk together on a forest path. The sun shines through the speckled leaves. This picture is indeed very light and harmonious like a picture book.

Of course, the premise is that you have to ignore the pairs of prying eyes coming out of the dark.

Suddenly there was a gust of wind in the forest.

Garm ran in front of Bai Yao and shouted to the sky. Its body tensed up, secretly accumulating strength, ready to rush forward to fight the enemy at any time.

The wind became louder and the leaves fell.

An animal with a special appearance flew from the sky. It had the body and sharp claws of a lion, the head and wings of an eagle, and its feathers were as golden as the sun. It was majestic and full of pressure.

This is a gryphon, a ferocious carnivore.

Bai Yao had never seen it in the forest before. Looking at Garm's alert state, it was obvious that this griffin was an outsider.

And the food it is interested in now is naturally Bai Yao with fine skin and tender meat.

Bai Yao reacted quickly. She quickly ran behind her and called Garm. In terms of size difference, she didn't think Garm could beat the gryphon.

But the winged griffon moved faster. It swooped down and exposed its sharp claws towards Bai Yao's back.

The shadow at Bai Yao's feet changed. A group of black figures stood up. The moment the gryphon's sharp claws came into contact with the black shadow, it screamed, retreated quickly, fell to the ground again, and fell from the ground. He climbed up with difficulty, but his body was unstable. Upon closer inspection, it turned out that one of its claws had turned into white bones.

Bai Yao also heard the noise. She turned around and saw the griffin flapping its wings in pain and stumbling on the ground.

And in front of her eyes, there was an additional figure.

This is a man wearing a gray cloak, tall and thin, silent, as if he appeared suddenly in just an instant.

The griffin probably realized that it had offended someone it shouldn't have offended. It flapped its wings and flew away. The cloaked man took a step forward to chase after him. However, the hurricane caused by the flapping of the griffin's wings broke a section of a high-up tree and it fell rapidly. .

Bai Yao saw the falling object coming straight towards her, and she subconsciously raised her hand to protect her head.

At the same time, a hand braced itself against the fallen tree.

The expected pain did not come, Bai Yao opened her eyes, and what came into view was the chest of the cloaked man. Her eyes moved upwards, and what she saw was the man tightly wrapped in the cloak, with a hood. It also covered most of his face.

And under the hood, his face could not be seen.

All she could see was darkness. Even his hand holding the tree, his fingers and the back of his hand were all pitch black.

He seemed to be a figure made of darkness. What was hidden under the gray cloak was black with no visible boundary.

But now, a dark red light appeared faintly around his body, and soon disappeared.

Bai Yao calmed down and said, "Thank you."

He seemed a little uneasy and lowered his head. The trees in his hands were reduced to ashes and no longer a threat. He took his hand back, but he didn't know how to place it. The whole figure looked very reserved.

Bai Yao added: "I have never seen you in the forest before. Are you also a resident here?"

After a while, he nodded, as if he was worried that she would be afraid of his presence. He raised his hand and pulled the hood lower, trying to cover himself in the darkness under the cloak.

Bai Yao had seen strange creatures in the forest, but she didn't think there was anything scary about him. She noticed a crack in his cloak and said, "Your clothes are torn."

He only noticed this after her reminder. He lowered his head and looked at the corner of his clothes. He scratched his clothes in embarrassment.

Bai Yao raised her face and smiled, "Go to my house!"

His figure froze.

Bai Yao is a person of action. Because of today's accident, she decided to temporarily give up looking for the tower deep in the forest. Instead, she took her husband who was kind-hearted to help her back to the cabin.

Garm was lying on the floor of the wooden house. He lowered his head for a while and ate the food prepared by Bai Yao. The brain capacity was probably not enough to allow it to think about too complicated things, so it lowered its head and continued eating.

Bai Yao found the sewing kit. She sat down next to the silent cloaked man. The distance was too close. He grabbed the corner of his clothes and did not dare to look up.

Bai Yao was threading the thread and didn't notice his shyness. Her eyes were pretty good. After a while, she threaded the thread. She lifted up the corner of his clothes and threaded the needle and thread through the rip in the cloak.

Outside the wooden house, there were many peeping eyes squatting in the bushes.

A Dingle said: "She took him home."

Another Dingle said: "Didn't he follow her into her house every day?"
