The night is low, and the stars in the sky dotted like diamonds in the deep blue sky, shining on the earth lightly and darkly.
Starlight shone through the gaps in the coniferous forest and fell on the ground, as if covering this cold wilderness with a layer of silver yarn.
The faint light thundered among the shadows of the trees, adding a bit of mystery and silence.
The leaves of the coniferous forest began to wither.
The quiet coniferous forest is covered with cold frost, as if everything has long lost its luster of the past...
The once lush coniferous trees now have bare branches, and their ink-colored trunks stand tilted in the gray and black snow, covered by the dark snow that keeps falling from the sky.
The remains of the gods turned into ashes like embers, telling people that prayer has lost its effect.
Under the gray sky and heavy clouds, prey was running.
“Hu~Hu~Hu~Hu~”
Noah Linton felt very tired. He wanted to stop, but he couldn't stop because the "dead" was chasing him.
The cold wind was like a knife, stinging his cheeks and exposed arms, his chest was undulating violently, and every breath was like swallowing a cold blade, stinging his lungs.
He could hear his heartbeat, roaring in his ears like a war drum.
The boy's legs were already numb, as heavy as if he was filled with lead. Every step was extremely difficult, but the instinct of survival drove him not to stop.
"You can't stop, you must not stop... Willy, Duke, Haili... They all became that way, I can't..."
The boy's figure appeared in the dim forest, his face was full of horror, tears mixed with sweat blurred his vision.
His eyes were rounded, full of helplessness and despair, his lips were purple from the cold and fear, and he shook slightly.
His mind was in chaos, and his only thought was to escape, escape from the terrible "searcher" and "dead".
Linton kept looking back, his eyes filled with fear of danger lurking in the darkness, his eyebrows were frowning, and his forehead was covered with cold sweat.
The moonlight shone through the cracks in the coniferous forest and fell on the ground, illuminating his escape route and exposing his whereabouts.
He felt every moonlight look like a cold gaze, staring at him, unable to escape.
Dongdongdongdongdong-
His heartbeat became more and more rapid, and fear was like an invisible hand squeezing his throat, making him almost unable to breathe.
In the coniferous forest, Linton ran to a small wooden house deep in the woods with fear.
The wooden house stands in the most dangerous place in this woods, but also the most secret place, because its shadow can be integrated with the surrounding trees and corpses and is difficult to detect.
"Bang--"
He knocked open the door, and Linton turned around and closed it and locked it, making a louder sound than before.
He seemed to care no longer.
He came to the short handmade wooden table, pulled off the backpack he brought out of the orphanage and smashed it on the table, unzipped the zipper, pulled out a black device from it, and pushed the backpack under the table.
The spray with unknown effects and several bottles of deflated mineral water bottles rolled out, as if struggling on the ground.
“Hurry up… hurry up…”
His voice was shaking, not because of the cold.
The light outside the window was a little brighter, which contrasted with the dimness inside, and finally he could see his appearance clearly.
Poor boy, the thick coat was completely incompatible, and his body was filled with wet white liquid, which mixed the salty and freshness of the ocean and the freshness of wild flowers.
His brown eyes were full of tenderness and fear, as if he had suffered a fright that he should not have suffered at this age.
Linton hurriedly looked for the opening button of the black box, and touched the shell before knocking it down.
The lid of the box is slowly opened, and there is a display screen inside, and a rising base is connected to complex electronic components and lines, like the human chest cavity after being opened, which is messy but orderly.
Linton pulled out a smooth black tube from the left end, then put on a hood and connected it to the interface behind his head, which contained precision electronic components.
One minute passed, two minutes passed, three minutes... the time seemed to have become extremely long.
[Suppression module has been started--]
Without any electronic prompt sound, a line of black font suddenly flashed on the yellow-green board of the display.
The display radiates a soft light, as if it is the only light of hope.
The slowly rising device on the base flashed with faint blue light, connecting Linton's nervous system, as if it were a bridge connecting him to the complex device in the black box.
Then, the suppression module starts reading bars.
“Hurry, hurry up, hurry up…”
Huhuhu--
A gust of wind passed, and this time it was not like the wind brought by the elves of the north wind, the sound was like the whistling of a beast in the distance.
The boy became scared, shivered, threw down his hood, and flew into the gap under the table.
The wind was getting closer. He curled up, covered his mouth tightly with his hands, trembling constantly, as if something was lying on his head, just outside the window.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! He forgot to pull up the curtains.
He realized something, and he reached out to the spray respirator that had fallen out of his bag, staring at his hand regardless of whether there was anything outside the window.
He didn't even dare to stretch his head out and try in a weird position.
"Dong.Dong.Dong."
The extremely slow and rhythmic knocking sounded, and the boy had goose bumps all over his body. His fingers finally reached the spray. He quickly picked up the jar and looked at the handwriting printed on it: [SAN Group Wendigo].
bite--
He opened the metal lid in horror, and the lid fell to the ground and made a crisp collision sound, but he could no longer hear it.
The sound of the wind disappeared, and the knock on the door disappeared - no, it was his hearing that disappeared.
He tightly clasped his spray can, his teeth bite up and down, and he couldn't even hear the "rattle" sound.
He grabbed the round handle of the spray can with force, as if he was holding the last hope, pressing it against his mouth and nose.
The cold metal feels cold and harsh, but it makes him feel a faint sense of security, but more of it is despair.
He took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down, but the fear in his heart surged like a storm.
He wanted to spray out the potion immediately, the thin mist of water.
Willy, Duke, and Haili once repeatedly told him that whenever he has the desire to eat people or starts to forget his memories, he will immediately put down the spray and use the inhibitory device to kill part of his "personality".
But you can only kill a little bit, otherwise you will become a monster.
Haili said: Every time you use the suppression device, it feels like a bubble in a dream, beautiful and illusory.
But at this moment, he could not take action no matter what, as if he had lost part of his control over his body.
His fingers trembled on the button to suppress the spray, his heartbeat echoed in his ears like thunder, and cold sweat was pouring on his forehead.
The tears in his eyes blurred his vision, his hands were stiff and weak, as if they were separated from his body.
The gray snow fell even harder, and the dead needles trembled in the snow and wind, shaking.
Linton finally heard a vague knock on the door in fear, as if he was knocking directly on a door in his mind.
The knock on the door was like a call echoing deep in memory, making him increasingly desperate, but he had no way to escape.
Just when the boy was extremely frightened, he could finally hear a vague knock on the door, as if he was directly knocking on a door in his mind, the door frame in the deepest memory.
To his delight, he heard a familiar voice:
To be continued...
