After the male protagonist

Night is the best camouflage.

There is no entertainment in this town at night, so naturally there is no fire. Keriya remembers that when the sun went down when he was a child, the people in the town stopped going out for activities.

Walking on the street at night, if you see anything that moves, you will suspect whether it is a spirit beast that has run in.

Tonight, Keriya found a lot of people who were still active at night, probably because of the existence of the two outsiders.

Eswee nimbly dodged a few times, and soon approached the east of the town.

Because he remembered Keriya's words, he became more cautious in his actions. He discussed with Keriya: "Why don't you find a place to hide you first, and I will go and see for myself. If there is no one, I will come to you again? "

Kria hadn't spoken yet, and Esway continued on his own: "Forget it, if someone finds you, and then you are arrested and do something, I will have a bad conscience."

Kria: "..." He was speechless.

Before the two of them approached, a voice suddenly sounded over there.

"...It's been a day, we haven't caught anyone yet, and he has been drugged. By the way, how long will the drug take? If the drug is over, it will be easy for them to escape." The speaker There was some concern in his tone.

Another person said: "In the past it was three or four days, this time it should be about the same."

The man yawned: "I don't know when we can catch them. I usually go to bed at this time."

"I want to sleep too."

After these words sounded, there was no more sound.

Keriya and Eswee waited in place for a while, but did not hear any more movement.

I don't know if they are dozing off or they are on duty seriously.

Although Keriya's actions were stiff, his thoughts and vision were unaffected.

Under the light of the moonlight, he could see many figures in front of him. Obviously, there were guards around the town.

Eswee took Keria back and asked in a low voice, "What should we do? Wait here?"

It is impossible for those people to concentrate for a long time, and the early morning is the time when their energy is most scattered, and the possibility of leaving here is the greatest at that time.

Keria shook her head: "Let's find something to eat first."

There are people living in the small town, and there will naturally be food. With Eswe's skills, it is not difficult to steal food. However, in order to prevent his heart from being troubled, every time he takes a little food, he puts some money in the place where the food is placed , the right is bought by oneself.

In the early hours of the morning, even the cries of insects and beasts were much less. Eswe tried to walk as lightly as possible, and approached the east of the town again.

As soon as they approached this time, Keriya saw something moving in the distance.

Eswe stopped quickly.

The thing looked like a human figure, and its movements were slow, Kria could clearly see "he" turn around, and then walk in this direction.

Eswee couldn't help but cursed in a low voice, took two steps back, his eyes were still facing east: "Have you been discovered?"

With the first figure, the second and third appeared one after another.

Eswee ran into the town again with Keriya, and Keriya looked back at the figures, always feeling that something was wrong.

The two quickly got rid of the figure following them, this time they no longer tried to escape, but seized the time to rest.

It will soon be bright.

They started the day of fleeing again.

……

Eswe fled with Keria for two days, but didn't find any chance to leave here.

He even gave up on himself and said: "We just don't run away, let them catch it."

Kelia glanced at him: "The people in this town don't take human life seriously, and their strength is not very good. Sometimes they even eat human flesh when they are hungry. Maybe they arrested us to treat us as food reserves. .”

Eswey believed the first half of the sentence, but Esway knew he was being fooled in the second half, and he didn't care.

After a while, Esway said suddenly: "Their strength really doesn't look very good." He thought for a while and said, "If I lure them away, can you escape?"

"You could have escaped by yourself, as you said, I might be the only one they're after," Keria said.

It's not the first time that Keriya said something like this. Esway automatically ignored this sentence, and he himself vetoed the previous proposal: "You can't do it in this situation."

Keriya's physical condition has become more and more serious in the past two days. If he hadn't passed out and made Esway reluctantly believe Keriya's statement, maybe Eswee would have taken Keriya to find the doctor by now .

"...But we can try." As Esway said, he picked up Keriya on his back and ran towards the edge of the town.

He moves quickly.

A day or two ago he listened to Keriya's opinion, but after two days, he stopped asking Keriya's opinion very much, and he couldn't do anything about Keriya's current state.

Keria understood that Eswe was inflated, but he couldn't help it. Apart from being able to move his mouth, he was basically a useless person.

Esway didn't hide his thoughts, he was quickly exposed to the eyes of the people in the town, and the crowd surrounded him without him provoking any more.

"I finally found you."

"Go with us obediently, and we won't make things difficult for you."

……

Keria closed her eyes, listening to Eswee's reply: "God knows what you want to arrest us."

Someone accidentally slipped his mouth: "Of course it won't be a good thing...it won't be a bad thing, you see there are so many of us, and there are some... Do you think you can beat us by yourself? "

Esway smiled and put on a posture: "Then try."

The person on the other side hesitated at first, but then lost his strength.

As Esway expected, the strength of those people was indeed not very good.

Esway handled it with ease, and because of this, his heart was relieved a lot.

Keriya was a little uncomfortable from the bumps. When he opened his eyes, he saw the scene of Eswe fighting against many. However, the enemies were endless, and he fell down and stood up soon - Eswe did not die. hand.

In addition to themselves, they also summoned contract beasts.

Even if their contracted beast level is not high, it is enough to harass Eswe.

Someone on the opposite side said: "It turns out that your strength is not bad."

Esway smiled: "That is." It seemed that he was very sure of his strength.

But Esway soon became serious. As time passed, his physical strength was gradually consumed, but there were still many people standing in front of him.

If this continues, he will only lose.

Keria said, "Let's go while you still have the strength."

Otherwise, this time it is really "self-inflicted".

After listening to Keriya's words, Eswe retreated while fighting, but unexpectedly, someone stretched a leg on his way back.

Eswe didn't notice for a moment, and dragged Keria to the ground.

After being surrounded by people and beaten up, I didn't even have a chance to stand up: "Aren't you good at beating?"

"Our strength is indeed not very good, but you don't need those people to shoot you."

"Wouldn't it be better to choose to obediently go with us earlier? It also saves this beating."

Probably for the purpose of beating him back, those people were merciless in their attacks, but Keria, perhaps the reason why he didn't make a move, was not hurt except for being kicked by someone at the beginning.

When Eswe was beaten, Keria watched with gusto.

After watching it for fun, he said coolly: "Esway, if you can escape now, just go."

Amidst the sound of punches and kicks, Esway still heard Keriya's words. He glanced in Keriya's direction, and a burst of strength burst out of his body: "Young master, I have the title of a master escaper!" Is it fake?"

Keria had never heard Esway calling himself "Master", and was a little surprised for a while.

While no one was paying attention, Eswee stood up holding the man's legs, and used the man as a stick for a round. He knocked down a few of the crowd, broke through the encirclement, and Eswee escaped.

Of course, at this time, he also brought Klia along with him.

Keria and Eswe escaped the crowd and went into hiding mode again.

……

Keria had been paying attention to the numbers she heard that night.

Three days.

Three days later, Keriya still did not feel his symptoms eased. He still felt that his body could not be used freely, and it was even difficult to manipulate himself.

This is not the worst, the worst thing is that there are suddenly more spirit beasts in the town.

There were fewer people walking on the street, but at the same time, there were more spirit beasts.

These spirit beasts roamed the streets, they didn't take the initiative to hurt people, and occasionally entered the house.

Kria has observed that their actions are extremely purposeful.

He suspected that these spirit beasts were manipulated by someone, maybe... came to find them too.

What puzzled Keria was, who has such a great ability to control so many spirit beasts at the same time?

He had never heard of such a situation, nor of such a possibility.

"It's kind of a bad feeling," Esway said.

The place where they are now is a basement, the basement is not easy to find, and Keriya did not discover this place when she was a child.There is a gap in the top of the basement to see the ground.

Now Eswee observes the ground through this gap.

He has been observing for more than an hour.

Keriya also felt a little bad, but it was just his self-consciousness: "What do you see?"

Eswi likes to read, and his knowledge is beyond the reach of Kria.

Esway shook his head first, and then said: "I only heard about this kind of situation... the elders in the family said."

Keria was all ears.

"I heard it when I was a child, and I can't remember some details clearly." Esway climbed down from the pile of boxes, "It is said that there was a guild, or a temple, or something else a long time ago, anyway, it is the same as the current temple, The Knights Guild is similar. They use spirit beasts as experimental subjects, and try to make many spirit beasts obey their orders. Is this what everyone wants?"

Keria didn't answer.

Esway smiled ironically: "It is said that many people were very happy at that time, and then praised it, and even formed a trend."

Only in this way can they have the scale to become a guild.

Keriya asked: "How was the result?" He looked up at the top of his head, thinking, there must be some results, otherwise he would not be able to see the current scene now.

Elswey said: "The result is not clear." He shrugged. After all, what he said now is just what he heard or read from books. However, some books say that those people succeeded, and some The book says that those people failed.

Therefore, Esway didn't know whether those people had researched a way to control the spirit beast.

Eswee looked up at the gap, and said another thing: "When I left home, the elders told me not to reveal my identity, not to bring anyone home, and not to ask my grandpa to sue my grandma if I was bullied outside. , or even die outside, they won’t care about me, let alone avenge me.”

He glanced at Keriya, hesitated to speak.

Keria knew that what he said next must have something to do with these spirit beasts outside: "And then?"

Elswey: "But...if you encounter several situations outside, you must go home and report immediately."

The subconscious meaning is that he has to leave.

But in Keriya's current situation, he would feel uneasy if Esway left like this.

Kelia leaned against the wall and said casually, "Then you can go."

"What about you?"

"You don't need to worry about me. Three days have passed, and I will recover soon." Kria slowly raised his arms, "And you also know that I lived here when I was a child, and they won't do anything to me .”

Once the "place where I grew up" is mentioned, people will always smile knowingly. Those places are full of nostalgia. At least Eswee feels relieved after hearing these words from Keriya.

Esway hesitated for a while, but still leaned on his family's side. Besides, Keria's words did give him a lot of reasons to comfort himself.

After making up his mind, Esway was no longer so impatient, and sat down beside him: "I'll leave at night."

With the cover of night, his safety factor will be much higher when he leaves here.

Keria said, "Let's go now."

Esway paused when he sat down.

Keria: "Spirit beasts are no better than humans."

Elswey: "Then...you take care."
