In the dark room, only the sound of steady and long breathing was playing a lullaby. Suddenly, the door was gently pushed open, and a figure walked in on tiptoe, picked up the empty cup by the bed, and left up.

"What's the matter, are you sure you drank it? Is Joshua asleep?"

The rest of the Cooper family who claimed to have fallen asleep, except Joshua on the bed, sat around the dining table, staring at Mrs. Cooper who was coming, wanting to know the answer.

"Falling asleep." Mrs. Cooper shook the empty bottle in her hand to signal, and sat down in her usual position.

"Dad, we can't go on like this forever, the threat no longer exists." Little Cooper, who had always been honest and honest, put his hands in his hair and looked depressed.

"That's right." Anna sat quietly across from her, and agreed, "Joshua will no longer have bad people tempting him. After not seeing anyone for so long, Joshua will give up when the time comes."

"Sleeping grass, although there is nothing serious about it, but Joshua has been in poor health since he was a child. If he drinks it often, I don't know what will happen." The fine lines at the corners of Mrs. Cooper's eyes wrinkled, revealing worry in her eyes.

The old Cooper, who was stared at by the whole family, leaned on his hands silently, thought for a few seconds, turned around to the relatives who urged him to agree, and then said: "Then from tomorrow on, don't make appointments again. Sleep grass is put in Shuya’s goat’s milk. Pay attention to whether Joshua goes out again at night, and observe to see if he really has to give up seeing the man in the black cloak. If not, put sleep for a few more days Grass, let’s talk after a while, wait..."

Just as the old Cooper was about to continue speaking, he was interrupted by Joshua who suddenly opened the door and appeared in the living room. He abruptly suppressed the rest of the words, and a faint red appeared on his bronze face.

The Cooper family looked at Joshua in surprise, and Cooper Jr. and Anna lowered their heads humbly.

"So," Joshua lowered his eyelids, and couldn't see any expression on his face under the cloudy light. He stepped forward and asked the family who deceived him, "You made me drink sleeping grass because you are afraid that I will go out at night. You know that I went out the night before, and you still know about my secret friend Kashi, and you are preventing me from finding him, why? Afraid that I will find him, or—”

"I'm afraid I won't find him again..." When Joshua said the last sentence, he suddenly raised his eyes, and his pair of clear and bright blue eyes were full of deep darkness that could not be seen to the bottom.

"Why do you know him, why do you know that I can't find him? Something happened to him? Something happened to him!" Joshua stopped walking, his body was tense, his back was straight, strong, fragile and Vulnerable, "He's fine, isn't he? Please tell me!"

When everyone was questioned in a daze and at a loss, the old Cooper, the head of the family, stood up, walked towards Joshua, fixed his eyes on him, and showed no signs of timidity, "Yes, we know your The friend of the black cloak, for the first and last time he knew he fell asleep that afternoon after coming back before you."

Old Cooper stretched out his hands to hold Joshua's face, as if he saw that he was strong but he was self-deceiving, and then exposed everything: "Someone reported to the village that there is a black man in a black cloak in the place where you often graze sheep. A wizard is hanging around, saying that a dark wizard is trying to seduce you."

Joshua felt that his body was chilling, and the most terrifying thing happened beside him.

Old Cooper spoke almost grimly of all their activities that afternoon.

"After that afternoon, we used your name to try to lure him to the village and catch him. The process went smoothly, and your friend didn't make too much resistance. After we caught him together, we took him Burned at the stake. So, your friend is dead, don't go looking for him again."

For some unknown reason, the old Cooper paused and added: "The evening you woke up was not the day you came back, but the next evening. We don't want you to participate, so we just had a drink before you go to bed." There is sleeping grass in the milk, the amount is not sure, it is too much."
