Annihilated Lilith

Chapter 56 56. Rainy Night Tales (2)

Under the influence of Lilith's magic power, the Duma Continent has been maintained in summer for 3000 years.

However, the ocean currents from the interior of the ocean and the heat difference between the sea and the land have still shaped a series of complex and diverse weather phenomena.

For example, the warm current of the ocean brought an environment suitable for farming to the south, creating a good life.The monsoon from the northwest brings the rainy season to the north, reminding everyone that the "invisible change of seasons" is running in an orderly manner.

The location of Turin College is located in the north, so it will inevitably be disturbed by the rainy season.The rain did not fall continuously, but more often in showers, which came with the night, repeated in thunder and lightning, and lasted all night.

Although there is little precipitation during the day, the sky is full of dark rain clouds, covering the sky and blocking out the sun, which makes people feel heavy.

The beauty of Moss Moor becomes elusive at this time of year.

The wilderness stretches as far as the eye can see, neither an endless forest nor a lonely desert.Gentle undulating low green grass and moss cover the ground, and those low, sparse vegetation grow desolately, which cannot be called verdant at all.

The exposed rocks, the clear air, and the irrigation of the majestic rainwater have increased the number of blood-red flowers several times.Bring a tragic vitality to this land.

The boundless blood red is too dazzling, too paranoid, different from the brilliance of ordinary mountain flowers, it is a kind of full bloom that is almost desperate.

This is a lonely land, a wild land.

In the castle, it was supposed to be a period of slack because of the gloomy sky, but because of the spread of a certain supernatural story, a little excitement was brought out among the apprentices.

The incident started when several first-year apprentices were punished by Ms. Jones for dozing off in pharmacy class and stayed to sort out the herbs.

They missed the dinner time while complaining, while taking a shortcut from the garden to the auditorium, trying their luck to see if they can still drink some hot soup.

At that time, the sun had already set, and most of the apprentices had returned to their dormitories in the tower.In the main building of the castle, only the windows of the teacher's office and the library are still shaking.

Fortunately, it is illuminated by spells. With the light cast by the surrounding buildings, the stone path can be seen clearly in the garden, so that it is not necessary to walk in the dark at night when there is no moonlight.

When they were halfway through the garden, the night rain came as promised.Because it was a shower, the raindrops were the most violent at the beginning.Hitting the body even hurts faintly.

The burqas of the apprentices were quickly soaked.The freshmen in the first grade are not yet good at avoiding the rain, or they have not yet developed the conditioned reflex of "using magic to avoid the rain".In short, the scene was very embarrassing for a while.

Because the appearance of the hair sticking to the cheeks was too funny, several apprentices looked at each other and laughed wantonly, startling the birds in the garden that were sheltering from the rain in the bushes.

The sound of the sudden flapping of the birds' wings was particularly frightening on a rainy night. At this time, there was another thunderstorm, and the lightning cut across the sky and briefly illuminated the garden.Then there was an earth-shattering loud explosion, which scared the apprentices into a hug and couldn't help screaming.

If this is the case, even though the scene is quite scary, it is just an unforgettable "memories of first school" many years later.

But then, a few apprentices in a group noticed something was wrong. They calmed down a little from the shock of the thunder, and found that the other apprentice did not come over, but opened his mouth wide and pointed straight at a certain place in the garden, as if It was the discovery of something even scarier from that direction.

Looking along the past, I can only see a dark mass, vaguely, probably a cluster of hydrangeas.The blue-purple flowers were beaten to pieces in the rain, trembling and struggling to breathe.

There seemed to be nothing unusual... The apprentices wanted to drag their frightened companions along and move on. Standing in the garden in the rain was not an option.

But the man still opened his mouth and widened his eyes, and stood still, unable to move.

The combination of various factors made the apprentices feel anxious, and the stronger ones simply wanted to pick up their companions and leave.

At this time, another bolt of lightning fell, thicker and brighter than the one just now.

Although it was only for a moment, the strong light still allowed the apprentices to see clearly the direction that their companions pointed out just now.

Eyes, many, many pairs of eyes, each staring wide, each dull, each frightening.

It only takes a glance, as if you will be fascinated by the countless eyeballs, digging directly to the deepest part of your soul.Stir the most original panic in my heart.

Not knowing whether they were petrified or had unknowable magical power in those eyes, the apprentices all stood still in a daze.

The rain continued, drenching everything and making everything in the garden seem to be melting.

Previously, only a dark mass could be seen, but now it is no longer so difficult to discern.Those eyes were hidden in the hydrangea bushes, watching the apprentices through the gaps.

Once you see it once, you can never forget it, and you can never avoid it.

The thunder rang again, as if it had been a lifetime away from the lightning.

"what!!!"

Finally, one person came back to his senses and began to scream.Then it seemed to trigger a chain reaction, and the screams almost overturned the entire garden.

The birds were frightened again, more frightened, and they began to flee through the rain.Because of the resistance of the rain, it can't fly too high, so it can only hit the walls and glass of the castle.

The screams and the strange movements of the birds finally alarmed the teachers. They immediately put down what they were doing, some ran down the stairs, and some jumped out of the windows.It didn't take a moment to reach the screaming apprentices.

"and then?"

Emma was lying on the bed, looking at Jenny with great interest. She stepped on her own bed, jumping up and down, interpreting the story vividly.

Emma and Hayward have endured without speaking for a long time. At this time, the event narration is coming to an end. It is always necessary to give the "storyteller" some feedback to give her some motivation. Maybe it can motivate her to remember more details .

"Then the teachers, of course, immediately went to check the hydrangea bushes, but found nothing."

"Where are the apprentices?"

"It must have been terrified! The teacher helped them drive away the water. They found a blanket to keep them warm, and the cook specially cooked a pot of hot soup. But the one who was frightened at the beginning seems to be in a serious condition. Until today... I figured it out ...I haven't said a word for five days."

"You mean there is a group of wraiths in the garden of our college? Wraiths that haunt rainy nights?"

"Well, that's what everyone says. What else can it be if it's not a wraith? Think about it, so many pairs of eyes staring at you in the dark night..."

"I should rush up and try to see if I can poke them blind..."

Hayward rolled his eyes. Those who dare to scare her, no, people or ghosts, will not end well.

"Go away! Emma, ​​do you understand? The fear of being stared at by ghosts!"

"I don't quite understand... My first reaction should be to poke it."

Emma recalled the night she "saw eyes" with the vampire, and she reflexively seized the opportunity to attack this "most vulnerable place".

Jenny was completely disappointed by the reaction of the two roommates, and lay down angrily, unwilling to talk to them any more.

In order to appease her, Emma could only run to her bed, tickled her and continued to ask for follow-up details.

She didn't think that there would be any supernatural events in the castle, but she also believed that those first-year apprentices were not delusional.One person's blindness is normal, and several people... still have a certain degree of credibility.

Whether it was the search that night, or the repeated checks the next day, the third day, and the fourth day.No abnormalities were found in the hydrangeas.It just bloomed a little more lushly than in previous years.

Hydrangea flowers are gorgeous, and the whole plant is poisonous.In order to prevent children from accidentally touching or eating it, Emma remembers that when she was a child, the villagers would lie that it was a ghost flower, which would attract evil spirits and should not be approached.

It seems that this kind of rhetoric is available all over the country.Because of this incident, the theory of "ghost flowers" became popular in the dormitories again, and some people even made up the rumor that "a large number of corpses are buried under the garden".This made Vice President Passy very annoyed, announcing that the rumour-monger would be found out, and she would be fined to dig the garden for a week.

Emma was fine, but she squinted and saw that Hayward was gearing up and ready to move.
