Annihilated Lilith

Chapter 58 58. Rainy Night Tales (4)

"You want to scare me to death!"

Emma reproached in a low voice, and opened Hayward's hand angrily, she almost screamed just now.

"Hush! Mr. Milton has just been here, and I can't breathe in the bushes behind me."

It seems that the teachers have not given up on uncovering the truth of the "ghost incident".

Although Mr. Milton would not be too vigilant at this time, Hayward was able to avoid his beast-like keen perception. It seems that he has grown a lot recently.This is commendable.

Afterwards, the two could only lurk in the shadows, waiting endlessly.The process was boring and the only thing I was lucky was that there were no mosquitos in the garden.

This is almost the center of the garden, and there is very little light from the surrounding main buildings.A large piece of darkness extended down from the cloud-covered sky, like a translucent black gauze, covering all kinds of plants gently and mercilessly.

Not long after, sleepiness hit, and Emma lowered her eyes slightly.The dense black shadows made things more difficult to recognize. Between the shadows, the large groups of hydrangeas turned into dark green and blue-purple color blocks, with small light spots floating slightly on them.

You don't need to think about it, it's the wings of the Youhuo Crystal Butterfly fluttering in the night wind.

The butterflies that were still flying around and gathering in groups during the day stubbornly dispersed at this time, each choosing a place far away from its companions to rest.

This should be driven by the instinct imprinted in the genes of insects, in order to avoid being wiped out by natural enemies when they are not active enough.

Yes, it's windy.

The night wind was getting stronger, Emma shivered, and couldn't help wrapping her burqa tightly.The sound of the wind gradually spread, causing the surrounding plants to make louder and louder noises, from subtle "rustling" and "squeaking" to a more tragic noise.

The black clouds in the sky also began to change violently, as if they were covered by layers of dark phantoms.The few stars that were barely protruding from the gap before completely disappeared.

The darkness has been spreading, and the clouds have been thickening.

The rain that Hayward was looking forward to began to come, skipping the process of drizzle and pouring down directly.

Emma and Hayward squeezed into the bushes, and then used the concealment of the plants to cast a spell to avoid the rain, and a simple transparent cover appeared out of thin air.This trick is similar to the magic protective cover for defense, but the grade is very low, only enough to shelter from wind and rain.

"As you wish, the conditions are all met. Wait a while and go back to the dormitory."

Emma was indeed a little curious at the beginning, but it was really uncomfortable to stay in the dark garden for so long in the dark night.

Specially emphasizing that "all conditions have been met" is actually avoiding the item of "thunder and lightning", trying to get away with it, and not wanting to follow Hayward to squat again.

In the rainstorm in the dark night, there were too many voices coming from all directions.The sound of water and wind played together, like weak waves, which made people feel irritable and decadent.

It didn't take long for Emma to feel exhausted in this environment.She really wanted to use the lighting technique, even a little bit, but that would not only attract teachers or guards, but also defeat the original intention of covert detection.

It was a cold, windy and windy night, surrounded by wetlands.Although the magic cover cut off the cold wind and the rain under the buttocks, the cold air continued to erode in from all angles.

"Is it okay? Let's go back..."

Emma's sense of discomfort became stronger and stronger, and there were uncontrollable water all around, up and down, turbulent water.This makes her very sad as a water sensory physique. It is more difficult to suppress the urge to manipulate these waters than to suppress the fear of darkness.

No matter what Hayward answered, Tow would drag her along.

But there was no answer, and Hayward was frowning deeply, staring in a certain direction.

It's not a hydrangea bush, but a rose bush more than 20 meters behind.

Different from hydrangeas in the embarrassment of the rainstorm, roses are more tenacious and more blooming and pleasant after being baptized by rain.

"Did you... see something?"

"I don't know if it's my eyes...the distance is too far."

After Hayward finished speaking, he stepped out his long legs from the water barrier, and approached the rosebush quietly like a predator hunting in a posture with a very low center of gravity.

The clothes got wet quickly in the rain, but she didn't care.

Emma really didn't want to get wet, so she took out her wand, created a thin "water umbrella" in the smallest area, bent her body to follow, and kept ten meters behind Hayward.

Soon, I smelled a moist fragrance, a refreshing rose fragrance, aroused by the water.

Going a little further, the small water droplets rolling and gathering on the petals are gradually clearly visible. The rouge-colored rose is extremely delicate, as if it is studded with small crystals.

"Nothing!"

Emma became a little impatient.If it is during the day, the scene of the rain hitting the delicate flowers should be very moving, and the sound can also be made into a melodious little song, touching the heart, as thin as silk.

But at this moment, Ye Yu's fluttering bombs only made people feel annoyed, and the white pattern on the rose was like the face of a beautiful woman who had been caught, it was terrifying.

Emma straightened up with her wand up. She didn't understand that Hayward was so cautious because he was afraid of disturbing something.

Just wanted to complain a few more words.

She saw it.

Rose has a pair of eyes from it.

Just like the frightened school girls described, staring round, dull and lifeless, bringing fright.

Hayward didn't look back, waved his hand back and down, commanding Emma to squat down.

Emma held her breath, put away the spells on the wand, and turned to hold it in a defensive posture.

The rain soaked her burqa in an instant.The cloth was tightly attached to her body, and the touch should be quite uncomfortable, but she didn't have time to distract herself from feeling it.

Soon, the second pair of eyes "opened", the third pair, and the fourth pair... until the entire flower bush was covered with ghost eyes, and the two of them were stared at by dozens or hundreds of pairs of eyes.

Frogs are said to be immobilized when they are stared at by snakes.It is difficult for a person to move half a step under the gaze of so many stern eyes.

It's just too creepy.This is still happening slowly and orderly in low light.One can imagine how horrifying the scene would be for those school girls to suddenly see so many pairs of eyes in the strong light of lightning.

Hayward suppressed his fear, broke the rigidity of his limbs, and slowly retracted his hands to his waist with very light movements.

Suddenly, she pulled out a tomahawk and swung it out like a stormy wave hitting the shore, knocking away countless petals, leaves and broken flower stems.It's like a rain of flowers that is not romantic.

Following this blow, several pairs of "eyes" fell to the ground and flew out.

"stop!"

Emma grabbed Hayward's clothes, she had already realized what it was.

Youhuo Crystal Butterfly.

Following the blow of the tomahawk's storm, several butterflies couldn't dodge and fell to the ground.

Emma ran up quickly and picked up one to check.

The crystal butterfly in the hand is still alive, struggling to stretch its wings in the rain.It's like a dying person reaching out desperately, trying to grab something.

"It's over, it's over..."

Emma muttered.This is the dean's baby.

During the day, this butterfly can only see its almost transparent wings, with some halo-like blue markings.However, after being hit by the rain, new patterns appeared besides those patterns-a huge "eyeball" on each side of the wings.

By the way, this is a rare species from the rainforest.Butterflies cannot fly in the rain, so they have evolved such a wonderful ability to scare away natural enemies with their "eyes".

natural enemy?Still something was wrong.

When it didn't rain just now, the butterflies obviously spread out to sleep. "Not gathering" is also the key to defending against natural enemies.Why are they all gathered here now?
And not just a few, dozens, but hundreds!
"Heyward, there must be something in the rosebush!"
