Chapter 3, those things in the night

Because Wilwolf is there.The boy's words echoed in Jane's mind, and she really didn't understand why he would know.She watched Morty walk and fall into the silent man's arms as if he could actually see, but even Jane could tell that Morty couldn't see anything.

She looked at her father again, the old guide was still indifferent to her as always, seeing her looking over, he just said: "Light the fire."

Jane felt that the one who spoke was worse than the one who didn't speak.

The prey this time were two rabbits, and it was pretty good to be able to catch things in this kind of place.One was baked for lunch, and the old guide and Jane ate some dry food they had brought.Wilwolf gave Morty his share of rabbits, and he ate nothing himself.

after lunch

And he said, "Go faster, we're going to find a shelter and light a fire as the sun goes down."

"I hope there will be no strange things tonight!" the old guide muttered with some lingering fear, and Wilwolf glanced at him.

Morty hugged Wilwolf's neck and leaned on his back, thinking about something.

The speed of travel, the four continued to move north, the old guide pointed to the mountains in front of him and said: "Look, it is impossible to go further north without passing through these mountains, but I have a way to make us go faster, after waiting This is the end of our business with these big mountains, of course, there are still two days.” It was obvious that Jane couldn’t keep up, and the old guide hit her on the back in anger, and the girl had to force herself to follow her father closely.Even so, the sun was almost setting, and the old guide was a little unhappy. The moon was not seen on the other side of the night, but today is not a new moon day, which is very bad.

"Jane, I'm going to make the fire bigger today, go and collect firewood!" After saying that, he ran forward in person, and soon found a stone pit. Strange to say, such a big pit did not seem to be made by manpower.But the old guide didn't think that much, maybe he didn't think of a possibility at all.

Then he took out his dagger and chopped some dry branches to make firewood.

As night fell, a fire was lit in the stone pit and around it.The old guide threw the firewood on the ground, and said to everyone: "Tonight, no matter what, we must not let the fire go out!"

"Dad, what's the matter? Is there a beast?" Jane asked.

The old guide smiled strangely, sat down cross-legged and said, "It's something in legends, it's not something to scare children, it really exists!"

"I've seen it. It's so dark that I can't see what it is. It's definitely not an animal, but something from a church story. The church calls this a dark creature, but I call this a black tide."

Jane didn't believe it, but the old guide was not someone who made a big fuss and frightened people, so she was dubious.

"A few of us were adventurers back then, and we saw it. It was obviously not a new moon, and there were no clouds in the sky but no moon. We saw it that night, the Kuroshio. Thousands of black things rushed towards us. We One of them was eaten, and there was no trace of it the next day!" The old guide said seriously, this was his early experience, and he would not have become a guide without these experiences.

He said exactly the same as tonight.This made Jane shudder.

Wilwolf took off his clothes and wrapped them around Morty. The long coat was very warm and wrapped Morty tightly.

After supper, Morty slept on Wilwolf's lap.

The old guide looked at it and shook his head, and said to Wilwolf: "It is impossible for him to survive in the wild like this, he is just like a useless person."

Wilwolf ignored him and tucked the hem of Morty's shirt to make him sleep warmer.

"Tonight, I won't sleep. I will keep watch at night." The old guide said, he had smoothed his temper along the way, and didn't expect this silent man to answer him.

A moonless night is extraordinarily dark, and in such a dark night, something is just about to move.

When the church was still called the Holy Church, there used to be a very popular profession - exorcist.Unlike ordinary knights, they are specially prepared for a special race, he/she/they are called dark creatures.Dark creatures have been very rare in the past hundred years, but they still exist in the darkness, ready to continue attacking the human world.

The night is a shield for these creatures, and some people call those things in the night when they talk about dark beings.

Wilwolf was alert, his beloved boy was sleeping peacefully on his lap, he was the bait in the darkness.Beneath the white hair were a pair of amber eyes with vertical pupils, which shone brightly at an angle that the old guide could not see, like the eyes of a feline in the dark.

In the distance, something seems to be flowing.Make a roar that is neither human nor beast.Exudes an ominous atmosphere.

This couldn't escape Wilwolf's ears, and he picked Morty up gently, which caught the old guide's attention.

Wilwolf shook his head in one place, indicating that there was something wrong there.

But the old guide didn't have his hearing, so he didn't know that those things were coming.

Those things are very fast, Wilwolf pointed to a direction, and ran there first, his meaning was already obvious, run there.

Of course the old guide understood, and was about to wake Jane when he felt it.

Not hearing, not seeing, not touching, but a feeling, coming from the fear and fear deep in the soul.This is the feeling, tell him, dark creatures are coming, dangerous!

Then, he heard the sound of water flowing, the sound of sand and gravel rubbing against each other, the roar of neither human nor beast, and the neighing sound similar to that of a war horse. The whole person seemed to have fallen into an ice cellar from head to toe.

"Father, run!" Jane shouted in front of her eyes. Her daughter was already awake, and she felt it too, but seeing her father here, she could only shake him anxiously.

The old guide remained motionless as if possessed by a demon, and the father and daughter could only feel the coming of fear at a closer distance.

Closer, closer, closer!

It was already visible to the naked eye that the torrent of darkness was rushing in front of them, and Jane woke up startled, let go of her father's hand, and ran towards the direction where Wilwolf and Morty were escaping.

She knew that her father was gone, and at a certain moment, she seemed to hear the sound of the black tide rushing towards her father.Stretch out a big hand from there, drag the flesh and blood into the body and devour it. In the end, the blood becomes a new dark water flow, merges with it, and continues to move forward.

So the girl chose to give up, gave up her father, and survived.

If she dragged her father along at the time, would both of them be saved, or would both of them have to die?

There is no time to think, the girl's face is full of tears, the horror more terrifying than death is behind her gnawing teeth and claws, and what lies ahead of her is an unknown road.

This seemed to be the whole of her life.Now, later.
