Twilight you are my light

An hour after Nora disappeared, Felix realized she was gone.After searching inside and outside the house without finding anyone, Felix realized that Nora was missing again.This time Nora's disappearance made Felix confused. He thought to himself, did the lady quarrel with the master again?

In any case, Felix had to report the matter to Caius.He headed toward Seattle at full speed, thinking bitterly that Caius might have to be ripped apart if Caius found out that he was missing someone.

Nora has successfully entered the foot of the Mountain of Nothingness. Strictly speaking, this is not a mountain, but a solemn and solemn Gothic mansion.Nora pushed open the door, and what she saw was the dark hall. After she entered the hall, the door behind her disappeared without a trace.She had no choice but to bite the bullet and move forward.

There are seven animal statues in the hall, which are peacock, snake, ape, bear, crow, tiger and goat.These statues are completely black, and except for the snake, the eyes of the other statues are inlaid with citrine.

Seeing the seven huge statues lying in front of her, Nora felt a sense of oppression. She went straight to the door in front of her—this was the only door left in the hall.When she pushed open the door, she was directly sucked in by a force.

Nora got up from the ground in a panic, and she found herself thrown in a dirty alley.She pulled her cloak in a panic and walked out from the alley, but then walked into another alley, and the cycle repeated.She looked back at the road she looked at, and the road changed shape again.In other words, these roads are random and irregular, and she is trapped in this maze-like place.

Perhaps it was God's mercy that allowed Nora to find the way to the main city. After she ran out of the alley, what she saw was a city filled with gunpowder smoke and yellow sand.This city is like a small town in ancient Europe. There are few people, and the walls of the buildings are dilapidated. Anyone who sees Nora walking on the street just hastily locks the doors and windows.

The afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled on this devastated city. Nora walked slowly among the ruined walls. She walked into an old hotel to see if there were any clues, but there was nothing inside except a mess.She walked out of the building somewhat dejectedly, and immediately heard the bell.

No more, no less, exactly five.

When the bell stopped, the sun quickly disappeared, the entire land was covered by the pitch-black sky, and the entire city was plunged into darkness, and this change did not exceed 3 minutes.

Through observation, Nora found that everyone entered her house after the bell rang, and the doors and windows were closed tightly as if to create an illusion that the house was deserted.Norah thought she couldn't hang around the streets anymore, the world was obviously very different from the real world.

Nora stood there at a loss, she didn't know where she should go, but there was no time for her to hesitate, she heard a loud noise not far away, and then the sound of metal rubbing against the ground was coming towards her. a little closer.

Nora felt that something was wrong, she subconsciously hid in the dilapidated hotel.She tried to seal the door with vines, but she couldn't exert any strength at all.Nora could only hide under the bar and picked up a chisel to protect herself. Nora, who had lost her special power, felt panicked.

The sound of friction was getting closer, and she could hear human cries and screams from time to time.Nora's eyes adjusted to the night, and she moved softly to the window for a quick glimpse of the source of the sound.With just one glance, Nora was so frightened that she collapsed on the ground. She covered her mouth with her hand and tried not to make a sound.

She saw a huge monster, a long-haired monster in a red dress, and the metal friction sound came from the friction between the huge pair of scissors in her hand and the ground.

Nora plucked up the courage to watch secretly through the window. She saw the monster dragging a woman out of the house, twisting the woman into twists in two or three strokes.She cut the woman's clothes with the overgrown pair of scissors in her hand, and the sharp blades shone coldly in the moonlight.

The monster didn't seem to want her clothes. It peeled off the woman's skin while humming a weird song, its mouth grinning all the way to its ears, as if it was doing something to please it.The monster's technique is very skilled, it looks like a professional tailor.After it completely peeled off the woman's skin, it happily wrapped the skin around her neck.

That was already the third skin, and the monster's waist and head had already been wrapped with skins from different people.

The woman's unrecognizable corpse was thrown on the grass in the square. Her waist was twisted 180 degrees, and the exposed muscles were blood-red. Nora could even see the muscle lines.Nora heard the rubbing sound and then walked towards her. She quickly hid in a corner to hide herself, holding the ice pick and facing the window.

She never thought that the so-called Mountain of Nothingness would be such a terrifying place. She missed Caius' cold embrace so much at this moment. As long as Caius was around, she seemed not afraid of anything.

Dragging its long scissors, the monster passed the hotel where Nora was staying. It seemed to have sensed something, and turned its head slightly towards the window.

Nora was almost frightened when she saw its turned head, she trembled and pursed her lips, her face was pale.There was cold sweat on her white forehead, and fear ran all the way up her spine.Her mind was full of: It's over, it's coming, it's coming.

Strangely, the monster had no intention of coming in.It seemed to see Nora hiding in a dark corner through the window. It touched the skin around its neck and gave Nora a sinister smile.Its sharp and bloody nails tapped on the window, and the crisp sound of the glass was like Nora's death announcement.Just when Nora thought she was finished, the monster dragged the long scissors and left.

Nora squatted on the spot and did not dare to move, her legs were a little numb.She thought to herself that the knocking sound might be the death notice from the monster, and if she didn't leave this place tomorrow, she might have to confess here.

The bell of the bell tower rang again, and this time it was no more, no less, exactly five times.

As the sun slowly rose to illuminate the city, Nora realized she had made it through the first night.She was a little desperate thinking about how she could get out of this world. This is not a fucking mountain at all, so how could she climb to the top of the mountain.Nora leaned against the counter and fell asleep for a while, but she was soon awakened by the noisy crowd.

She rubbed her eyes and looked out of the window. People gathered around the corpse in the square.They looked numb, and they threw the woman's body into the coffin in an orderly manner, and then several men carried it away. This set of actions seemed to have been rehearsed countless times.

Suddenly, Nora noticed that the women in the crowd were all looking in her direction. Those women seemed to be very polite, some of them even greeted her from a distance, but their eyes showed malicious intent. gloat.

Nora was confused by their eyes, but she couldn't care less. She hurriedly collected some supplies in the hotel and wanted to leave the town.

The way out of the town was not that difficult to find, and she walked to the border of the town very smoothly.When she was full of joy, she found that there was an invisible wall of air blocking her in the town.

"Little girl, it's useless." A man's voice rang in Nora's ear, and she turned her head to see a brown-haired man.He was so tall that he might have been a bear from a distance, with a shotgun on his back, and brown eyes as sharp as a hawk's.

Nora watched warily as the man walked towards her step by step, and finally stopped at a distance of five steps.When she saw the man's face clearly, she exclaimed, "Caius?"

"Caius? The name of your lover?" The man was taken aback by Nora's address. "My name is Caius. You are a traveler in this town, right?"

Kaisas greeted Nora very familiarly. He looked at Nora's small body, shook his head and said, "I don't think you can survive tonight."

"What do you mean?" Nora frowned. This man looked very similar to Caius, but compared to Caius' cold and delicate face, this man looked rougher and more masculine.

This feeling made Nora very uncomfortable. She couldn't get used to the appearance of such a flirtatious man with Caius' face on his face. Now she felt like she was playing a horror game with No.1 perspective.

"Literally." Kaisas took out the kettle and took a sip of water, his movements were unspeakably chic.

"Do you know that monster? It's the one that killed the woman in the square." Nora asked cautiously. She wasn't sure whether the person in front of her was an enemy or a friend, but his face made Nora subconsciously want to trust him.

"Oh? Did you see it yesterday? You're quite courageous." Kaisas showed a surprised look in his eyes, "This town is cursed, and no one can leave here until the curse stops."

"How did you know."

"This is not the first time I have experienced such a thing. This curse is like a reincarnation. I will experience it every ten or twenty years. This is the second time I have experienced it. My mother died in the That monster fell under the knife, and I was only five years old at that time." A trace of anger and pain crossed Kaisas's face.

"That monster only kills women, not children. Hmph, maybe it also knows that if it kills children, it won't have any future rations." Kaisas put the kettle back on his waist, "It will kill continuously for a week, every night. One to three people. If you persist, tomorrow will be the last day."

Nora lowered her head and thought for a while, she suddenly figured out why the monster didn't kill herself yesterday, it was because the killing quota was already full last night.She thought of the smile the monster showed her yesterday, and she might not be able to escape today.

Nora looked at the gun on Kaisas's back and asked, "You have a gun, why don't you try to kill that monster?"

"Ha, brave girl." Kaisas seemed to admire Nora very much. He lifted up his clothes, and there was a long scar on his strong chest.

"I tried, but failed, and almost died." Kaisas shrugged, and then he seemed to think of something, "Do you want to come with me? You, a girl, must be the first to return to the town You are a stranger, and if they tie you up in the square today, you won't be able to escape, because in principle, if you die, the life of a woman in the town will be saved."

"So kind? I can assure you that the monster will come to me tonight." Nora deliberately scared him, but Kaisas didn't care.

"It's just right, I can fight with it again." Kaisas showed an excited expression on his face, which made Nora look a little dazed.

God knows how much she wants to go with this man emotionally, her nerves are already very fragile.Now there is a man who looks 90% like her lover. Even if she has strong self-control, she can't help but want to get close.

"...It's not necessary." Nora refused with some difficulty. Compared with known malice and monsters, Adam, a man of unknown origin, made her more wary.

"It's up to you." Adam looked a little regretful, he didn't force anything, he just pointed to the direction of the forest and said: "If you are chased at night, you can come to the wooden house in the forest to find me, I will keep watch tonight .”

"Thank you." Nora nodded to Adam with a feeble smile.

……

Caius received Felix's notification and rushed towards Fox without stopping. When he and Felix returned to their house, Caius carefully inspected the house, and he felt Anger turned into fear.

The disappearance of Nora made Caius feel a little weird. The only way out of the house was through the main entrance, and the windows and door locks showed no signs of damage. So how did Nora escape Felix's surveillance and leave the house?

Caius opened Nora's closet. Since he knew that Nora had no smell, he had sprayed a special smell on all her clothes. This smell could allow Caius to track Donora's location, He didn't expect it to come in handy so soon.

Dmitri was not there, so they couldn't directly locate Nora's location. They could only judge the distance of the target by the intensity of the smell.In order to save time, Caius brought some of Nora's clothes and threw them to Calais and Felix to ask them to find someone together.In addition, he contacted Rodos in Italy to issue an order to track Nora's mobile phone, and he found that her mobile phone disappeared with Nora.

Caius ran in the forest near Fox, holding Nora's clothes in his hands and kept sniffing.He didn't think that Nora had escaped by herself. Nora's dependence on him was based on his eyes, so it was very likely that someone took Nora away under their noses.
