Soul Echo

It was night, and the dark clouds covered the moon, making Restar plunged into darkness.

In this era when candles are still expensive, ordinary person seldom buys candles at home, and even little firewood.

The areas inhabited by nobles and wealthy merchants are still brightly lit, and some houses are even lit all night.

And besides them, there is another place that lights up in town - a tavern!

But soon, not long after nightfall, the lights in the tavern went out, so far, the area where the civilians lived was no longer bright.

—the darkness stirred.

Zhong Ye walks through the streets with a half-sword on his back. He doesn't have the supernatural ability of a demonhunter to track the breath of dark creatures, but Amos also doesn't have the reasoning ability to detect cases - even though he himself watches movies and TV shows I learned it, but I don't know if it will work.

Several murder scenes cannot constitute sacrificial rituals, but in addition to the murder cases, Resta has several disappearance cases.

The homicides are feared only to be thrown out to attract attention, and the focus should be on those who are missing.

Of course, these cases may also be committed by several different forces...

Zhong Ye and Amos discussed for a while and decided to split up.

Amos uses supernatural abilities to track down, and Zhong Ye patrols while trying to reason to see if he can hit the jackpot.

The murders and disappearances all happened at night, and the dead and missing were all civilians except for a nobleman who was barely able to get along with Resta Baron, and the cases all happened in areas inhabited by civilians.

Three possibilities can be drawn from this: First, the murderer lives in a civilian area and chooses the nearest target; second, the murderer does not live in a civilian area, and chooses to hide in a civilian area in order to hide his hiding place. Hands-on; three, these cases are just to hide people's eyes and eyes, to attract attention to the civilian area, so that they can do things in the area where the nobles and wealthy businessmen live.

There may be other possibilities, but Zhong Ye can only think of so much for the time being.

Whoo-

The wind blowing over the eaves woke Zhong Ye up, lifts the head, the bright moonlight shines on his face, and a silvery white moon is reflected in his eyes.

The smell of blood was smothered in the night breeze. This smell, which half a month Zhong Ye smelled a lot in the past, was naturally a little sensitive.

The right hand quietly touched the hilt of the sword. Zhong Ye stood there and looked around. After a while, he grasped the direction from which the smell was drifting, and leaned over.

…………

Jihayi clutched his younger brother's mouth and nose, his eyes filled with tears, and he took a small breath in the stale air under the bed.

He could feel an insect crawling over the soles of his feet, and the touch that he used to endure was now unbearable for a moment.

"Don't move..." As if begging, Jihayi whispered in the younger brother's ear.

His younger brother is very obedient, because for this child, only by listening to the big brother's words will he not be beaten by adults.

Is that person gone?

Under the dark bed, Jihayi visited the room that was also dark.

That man was different from the other men that mother brought back. Although mother would hide the adults every time they brought them back, Jihayi would often observe those men secretly after hiding. the same time.

The man stayed at the door until mother opened his mouth to call him in, and he didn't come in.

I don't know why, Jihayi looked at the man's behavior and felt very strange.

After closing the door, the power of fear became stronger and stronger, gradually occupying his heart. After hearing a scream from the next door, he hurriedly hugged the younger brother and hid under the bed.

"Don't make any noise..."

Jihayi whispered to the younger brother, and cautiously crawled out of the bed.

Go to the wall, put your ear to the wall, and try to listen to the sounds next door.

Since he was a child, he has found that his hearing and vision are far superior to ordinary people. If he pays attention, he can perceive many things that are difficult for ordinary people to perceive.

Only one breath...

Mother is still alive, this is his first single thought; the man hasn't left, this is his second thought.

At this time, Jihayi finally thought in horror why he felt that man was weird-he didn't feel that man's breath before!

Only the dead don't breathe, that man is a 'living dead'!

Jihayi swallowed in fear, fell down tremblingly, and instructed the younger brother under the bed: "You don't make a sound, don't move, no matter what I do, you don't Move...you know? Don't make a sound, nodded if you know."

The little boy covered his mouth and nose, nodded.

At this moment, Jihai felt extremely fortunate. Fortunately, his eyesight was better. Fortunately, he was smarter than others since he was a child.

Lightly walking to the door, Jihayi slammed into the door and ran out, shouting, "Haken Uncle, soldier uncle, Aunt Maria, someone is going to hit me!"

The shouting seemed to add a fire to this silent night, and the streets instantly boiled.

Coming! he came!

The man was like a shadow, and he noticed it the moment he slammed out of the door, and followed him, chasing him all the time.

Jihayi opened his mouth wide to swallow the air of assaults the senses, his chest was burning and stinging, but he didn't dare to stop.

The doors of several houses by the street suddenly opened, and a few men with wooden sticks and axes came out. Taking advantage of the moonlight, they saw a dark figure following Jihai's short silhouette. .

There were two men who hesitated for a while, but the others swarmed up directly, and the guy in his hand greeted the shadow with all his strength.

However, they all waved to nothing.

The shadow suddenly dodged back, leaving the stick and the axe in the air. Several men were stunned and didn't realize what happened.

Jihayi stopped, gasped for breath, and shouted excitedly: "He, he is a living dead!"

One of the two men who had hesitated before listened to When he heard this shout, he immediately shivered and hurried back to the house, closing the door tightly, and the other one was frightened to the point of weakness.

"oh?"

The man chasing Jihay chuckled and stepped out of the shadows, his pale, blood vessels gleaming in the moonlight. .

"How do you know? Is it possible that you are born with superhuman abilities?"

Jihayi's face turned pale, he saw the man Licking his lips, he heard these words: "didn't expect there is such an excellent blood source in this border town..."

He heard the mercenaries and adventurers talking about it. , There is a kind of living dead in this world called 'vampire', they can strengthen themselves by sucking the blood of others, it is a very terrifying dark creature.

The night was silent again, Jihai and Vampire's words were like a cold wind, blowing out the courage in the hearts of several brawny men.

Seeing their panicked appearance, vampire raised the corners of his mouth and walked forward slowly. Every time he took a step forward, several brawny men and Jihai took a step back. The pleasure of others spreads and expands in his heart.

Seeing the expressions on their faces getting more and more frightened, vampire's eyes flashed a hint of playfulness, took a deep breath, "sweet breath..."

Cry, shout , cry...

But at this moment, the sound of footsteps broke the silence.

vampire turned back in amazement, a silver light swelled rapidly in his eyes, so frightened that he hurriedly bent his waist and legs to dodge.

——It was originally a long sword, reflecting the moonlight.

I saw a man with black hair and black eyes slashing at him with a long sword in hand. Vampire waved his hand on the ground, bounced, and jumped to one side of the roof.

Standing under the moonlight, vampire's eyes lit up with resentment, his jaw opened involuntarily, his muscles tightened, revealing a pair of sharp fangs.

Back to sword stance, then Zhong Ye eyebrow raised, "vampire?"
