Midnight

Everything was silent, and the whole world seemed immersed in tranquility.

The zombie crow flapped its wings and flew quietly over the village. The internal organs rolled out of its abdomen and stained the wooden stakes. Its figure looked extremely terrifying in the moonlight.

The village built in the forest was also shrouded in darkness at this time, and the entire village was completely covered with a veil of darkness.

The faint light of a fire flickered in the village, adding a touch of warmth and vitality to the silent forest. Beside the huge bonfire were many witchers, who lay casually on the ground and fell asleep.

Deep in the forest, a figure as big as a hill slowly walked towards the village. Its steps were heavy, and the earth seemed to tremble with every step.

Inside the pig-headed girl's tent-shaped hut...

Annie was lying alone on the bed, fast asleep. Her originally hot little face had completely cooled down. The other three chose to lie on the floor, having already fallen into a dream.

Although the place is a bit simple, it is better than nothing.

Only Shihui had a bizarre dream. She was sleeping soundly with her beautiful eyes closed, her willow-shaped eyebrows tightly furrowed, and cold sweat kept flowing down her fair face.

She kept shuttling back and forth between the two worlds, all kinds of bizarre scenes kept appearing before her eyes. She felt as if she was sitting on an express train, unable to stop it from happening.

Various strange images kept playing in her mind, as if something in the abyss was gradually approaching her.

At this moment, a huge black figure crawled out from the end of the dream. It stood in front of the lime like a hill, and let out a low growl from its bloody mouth.

"Help!"

"Help!!"

"Help!!!"

The roars became louder and louder, and Shihui, who was still sleeping, was instantly awakened. She stroked her forehead and wiped the cold sweat from her face, her eyes full of fear.

In such a weird dream, it is impossible to tell whether it is reality or a dream!

"I used to only dream before waking up, but now I start dreaming just by falling asleep..."

"Help!!!"

"How can I still hear cries for help? Could it be that dreams can completely affect the real world?"

"Help!!!"

The shrill cry for help echoed in the village again. The voice was particularly rough, and seemed to be a man's voice. Shihui, who was originally drowsy, immediately reacted.

I wasn't dreaming, someone was really calling for help!

The first few times I was asleep, so I probably couldn't react, but now that I'm awake and listening, isn't it someone shouting for help?!

“Wh…what?!”

"Is dinner ready???"

"Don't sleep, someone is calling for help!"

"Wake up!"

Olena and the pig-headed girl, who were still sleeping, woke up immediately. Half asleep and half awake, they subconsciously reached for their weapons without even opening their eyes.

After hurriedly packing up, the three women quickly got up and rushed out of the wooden house, but it was pitch black around them and they couldn't see the direction clearly.

“Woof woof woof woof!!!!”

The Big Bad Wolf, who was originally lying at the door, was now roaring non-stop, his eyes were extremely bloodshot, as if he was a frightened beast. Even though he pretended to be very angry, his legs were tightly clamped around his tail.

And the place where he was roaring was exactly where the cry for help came from.

This helped Shihui, who was originally a little confused, regain some of her sanity. She looked up and saw that the moon was covered by dark clouds. The entire village was pitch dark.

How on earth did the other party get here in such a dark night?

Something is wrong, very wrong!

Moreover, Wolf's roar was obviously full of fear and terror. It was obvious that the other party was being chased by something very terrifying.

But the pig-headed girl didn't think about those things. She rushed out with arrows on her back without any intention of stopping. With her familiarity with the village, she could find the way even if she couldn't see the road clearly.

Oleina had no time to try to stop the other party, so she could only turn around and ask, "Ms. Hilde, should we go over and take a look? Maybe we can help."

Shihui shook his head and said, "I'll go over and take a look first. You take good care of Annie here. If there is any problem, I will take you away immediately!"

Before leaving, Shihui hid five Hell Knights beside Olena in case of emergency. These Hell Knights were good enough to protect them, and at worst they could drag him back.

"Okay, then Miss Hilde, please be careful..."

Oleina walked back into the house reluctantly, but Shihui was nowhere to be seen.

Lime disappeared without a trace and walked quietly towards the fire at the village gate.

She was just going to gather some information first. There was no need for her to help. After all, the other side had so many demon hunters and quite a few villagers.

At this moment, the village was in a state of panic and haste. Some people even ran out without even putting on their pants.

"Hurry up that guy!!!"

"Get all your stuff out, assemble!"

"Everyone, be careful and go to the village entrance!"

"Light up all the torches and check on the wooden wall first!"

"Light up the fires, and light this place up first!"

"Go see who's calling for help!"

"Is he from some family?!"

The surrounding villagers and witchers all woke up. After all, they were closest to the gate and were the first to hear the cries for help. The women and children all stayed in the house, and the men in charge of hunting came out with weapons.

But the expressions of the witchers clearly hid something, and everyone's face looked extremely ugly. They gathered together to discuss something.

Seeing the strange looks on the faces of the witchers, Shime quietly walked over to them and listened.

The faces of the gathered demon hunters were filled with fear, and even their voices were trembling: "Did you hear that? Did you hear that?!"

"I definitely didn't hear it wrong!"

"Yes, it's Ode's voice!"

"Hasn't he...hasn't he been killed by a monster?!"

"How could he possibly have survived, let alone found this place!"

"That's right, Ode was killed with our own eyes. There's no way he could have survived!"

"But the voice outside the village is definitely his!"

At this moment, the atmosphere in the team dropped to freezing point. Faced with the voice of the resurrected dead, everyone's heart was filled with fear and disbelief.

After all, his teammate was still calling for help from him and others before he died, but now he suddenly appeared outside the door, shouting for help.

This is all so weird!!!

Immediately, everyone turned their eyes to Oak. As Ode's younger brother, he completely disregarded his image and huddled beside the carriage in a mess.

Ou Ke squatted beside him with his hands covering his ears, muttering to himself: "Impossible, absolutely impossible, my brother is dead, dead!"

“Dead! Dead!!!”

The captain kicked him hard, then calmly lit a cigarette and yelled at everyone: "A bunch of bitches, are you women? Why are you still hanging out with me when you are so cowardly? If you want to die, die now!!!"

"If you don't want to die, grab your weapons and prepare to fight the enemy. Set up booby traps and thorn mines at the gate!"

The pig-headed girl who rushed to the front also saw the person calling for help outside the door. Her originally anxious expression gradually turned into fear and even despair!

“Monster…monster!!!”

"That monster in the forest is coming!!!"
