On the back side of the garbage mountain, at the base of the wall about six or seven meters away, there were multiple branch roads with lights on for no apparent reason. There are wooden boxes placed against the wall, filled with tanned leather, bags of nails, and white-painted shoe uppers.

"I just listened to the two of you bickering, and I was in a daze without paying attention. Why did the place change? Where is this place?"When the widow with the best eyes saw this scene, she couldn't help but be stunned. Her half-demon cover shone in the dark, full of doubts

"Could it be the canals in other areas? Anyway, no matter how you look at the sludge pond, the angle and position are almost the same."

"No, this is still the original location. As you can see, the position of the front and rear load-bearing walls has not changed."Compared to the two of them, I seemed very calm, because the same thing had happened many times in the attic. An empty house was filled with debris in an instant. It can only be said to be a difference in time. So is the smelly ditch. Again, it makes a difference whether it's been dug out or blocked up

"What is the evidence? Do you think so?"The two women looked panicked and started questioning me before I finished speaking.

"If the appearance has been changed, the details can still be scrutinized from other signs. Listen, is there a faint sound of a needle moving? Do you remember the twelve bells that were rung just now? Yes, the noises all come from the same chiming clock."I put the widow on my back, supported Krys and started to move forward, saying:"While the sheep are retreating, let's leave here first."

When we turned to the fork in the road, we quickly saw the woven bags containing the earthwork, the iron scaffolding, and the lighting on the back of the plastic sheet. It was obvious that someone had opened up the wall and built an exit here. The newly installed one was not long ago but it was already greasy and mottled. The broken door lies in front of you. When you reach out to push it, it is ajar. There is a wooden stairway climbing upward behind it, which seems to be connected to the basement of another building.

"Take a good look with your demonic eyes. Are there any threats at the end of the darkness?"I didn't dare to rush in easily, so I asked the widow on my back.

But Luna said that she could only see through the shadows, but she couldn't see behind the stone wall like Lin Rui and screen out all the hidden details in advance. Krys I took out the white porcelain rooster from my torn hemp skirt and said it was the last familiar claw she had left, and I could use it to find traces. I left the widow behind and quickly climbed up the stairs, and when I came to the corner, I was about to fall. , but was attracted by something placed on the side wall, and slowly moved towards it, and began to rub it.

The two of them became agitated when they saw me running up the stairs without making any sound, and they supported each other to climb up. When I went up to the floor, I saw me squatting aside and playing with things. I couldn't help but be stunned and asked,"Is this the chiming clock you mentioned?" It turns out that it is placed so close to the crossing!"

"I've seen this clock before." After getting up, I pointed at it and said,"Then I probably already know where this is."

A few hours ago, under the arrangement of Rabbit, I sat under the second fulcrum tree and started my first arc. The nightmare resided in Ingram's memory and visited many places. One of the dreams I once visited a house, or rather a dilapidated workshop. This soot-blackened self-ringing clock was placed in a corner, running quietly. It was an old black man with gray hair, the same as the boy with a crew cut. There are leather and shoe uppers placed in the shabby room of my best friend. It is obvious that the guy is a shoemaker.

At present, the wooden boxes piled under the stairs and the clock that was cleared out of the house indicate that we will go straight to In the old man's studio, this is another trick from a different era, and the person who came up with this nightmare must be Ingram. This guy probably looked for other ways after being blasted out of the window by the pepper bubble air wave. , find the entrance to its old friend’s old home

"I don't understand, since it is the culprit that caused the bones of two sheep to be separated, why does it keep blocking my steps?"I squeezed the familiar claws in my hands, pushed open the rotten door on the side, and said as I walked:"This old monster looks very strange. No matter how I deal with it, I can't kill it, and I don't take the initiative to attack. I just keep pestering him. In your opinion, what could it be?"

"Hey, don't ask me about this. I'm just a lamplighter. I'm not as knowledgeable as Bolton, so how can I know its origin."The widow waved her hand towards me and thought:"Since it can't be hurt, it's probably just like what you encountered on Ou Shizhu Street. It has no body, and its bones are elsewhere. It's just an ethereal spirit transformed by thoughts, so it can hit it. Not to collapse is tantamount to fighting the air"

"The Frenchman Sartre once said that in a society of human beings, the meaning of one's existence will be determined by the gaze of others. When you stand in the spotlight, surrounded by people who care about you, and even your daily life is talked about by others, you will become very happy. In short, being noticed will determine your achievements, value and other things in the world. But there are also some low-key people who don't like to be noticed, such as you in the dark world. There are even some people with low desires who will actively avoid society and always try to avoid being discovered by others. Krys glanced at the widow and me one by one and said,"Obviously, Ingram is that kind of person.""

"Have you figured out what it is?"The widow avoided her burning gaze, turned her face sideways and asked

"You just mentioned some ethereal spirits on a certain street, which makes people suspicious. After all, I don’t know the cause of that incident. Although Ingram chose to hide from the world, at least he still hoped to be noticed by one person in the world, and she was Ligeia. This is also the origin of his resentment. For a person with that kind of personality, if nothing else interferes with him after death, his obsession will increase exponentially and become more and more intense, and will eventually form a rare demon soul, which is called a spiritual mastiff. Krys moved his eyes to my face and smiled:"Spiritual Mastiff, as the name suggests, is a spiritual mastiff. It will loyally eliminate all threats for its master, or cover his escape." Ingram didn't come to attack you because he couldn't do it. If you were to sink into the lake where he died, you would definitely die."

I was confused when I heard that. I was about to ask her how she didn't know about the battle on Ou Shizhu Street that night, but Krys urged me to lead the way. She thought that if her judgment was correct, then the current situation would be very dangerous, Yiyang They didn't wait impatiently and left the scene sadly, but they sensed the assistance of another force nearby, used their cameras to look for loopholes, and lurked down.

"The spirit mastiff is a very unusual thing. It is invisible in the eyes of other old monsters, just like a human being can't see its soul. Let me ask you, when it blocked you in the attic, were the two sheep elsewhere and unable to feel your breath? That's because you've been caught up in it and become non-existent. Krys looked around the narrow corridor warily and said,"Ingram will definitely try his best to kill us with Ligeia, so he will keep jumping time fragments to benefit them." We didn't expect that we would provoke such a powerful group of monsters. The leader led dozens of people and only had to deal with one, and the heavy burden fell entirely on the three of us."

While we were talking, we came to the end of the stairs, in front of an iron door. We stretched out our hands to push it open, but it was still ajar. The room behind us was as dark as ink, and there was only a faint light like a green bean in the single room in the distance. This damn place has no walls. The mold spots on the corners and the pictures of movie stars on the wall are all the shoe stores I visited in the nightmare. But for some reason, they became empty. Many machines and furniture had been moved away. The only thing that didn’t happen was What has changed is that the dining table in the center of the shabby room is still there, with a box of smuggled punch and lettuce wine placed on it.

To enter or not to enter? The choice before you is thought-provoking. Since this place is a newly opened secret realm for the Spirit Mastiff, it is undoubtedly the It was a trap that lured us into taking the bait. But if we went back the same way, we would have to sit in a damp, smelly ditch. Relying on my familiarity with geography, I asked them to stop at the intersection first, and groped their way over, quickly crossing this dark section. When I arrived at the dining table in the big house, I saw only a candle that was shining brightly, and it was being blown out by the cold wind that was constantly seeping in from the outside world. The only appliances left in this dilapidated house were all sealed, and there was a piece of it for sale or rent. The wooden sign was thrown in the pile of debris. It was obvious that the gray-haired shoemaker had moved, and this place had become an uninhabited shabby nest. I leaned against the door frame, threw the white porcelain rooster in my hand, and a strong puff of Ash smoke rose up, leaving two rows of chicken paw prints among the scraps of paper on the floor. They browsed the entire house and returned to the same place one after another. This also showed that there was nothing fishy or weird in the shoe shop. No danger was laid.

Just when I was about to look back and let them come in with confidence, I suddenly saw the chicken feet starting to move again. At the same time, I heard several rattles coming from all around, and in my peripheral vision was a huge arc of light called St. Elmo. Lights up. The iron door behind him was slammed down! No matter how hard he tried to push it, it couldn't be opened. The marks of familiar claws penetrated the gap in the door, and they all got into the big dark room!

"Fell into a trap! This is indeed a desperate situation carefully laid out by others."I felt dizzy, and I couldn't help shouting in the direction of the door, but it seemed to be another space, and no sound could come in!

If you want to get rid of the shackles of the square mirror, you can only break them, Krys Zeng sighed helplessly. If this is the only way, it's too late now. If you continue to waste time, no matter how experienced you are, something will happen to them. I can't open this door, and even if I go back by chance, it will be useless. Just when I was at a loss what to do, a pool of urine slowly seeped out from the wall of the broken house. It was a human figure sitting on its knees! In just a few seconds, it began to become plump, and it looked like it could jump over the wall.!

It’s over. The two sheep have already made a plan. They have divided their work and cut off this only walkway. They only need to attack from the front and back to separate, surround and catch us all. I need to change my plan. I need to find someone like Ingram. Such a helper can turn things around, but where is the opportunity? A few seconds later, the black-robed old demon half-slid out from the wall. In just a few dozen minutes, it grew another deformed little head. At this moment, it was using A blood-red one eye scanned me and made its unique grinding sound.

"Regardless of whether it works or not, it seems that the only option is to take risks!"I gritted my teeth, turned my body to one side, avoided the incoming claws and the black robe, ran up and down the stairs of this house, and ran away like crazy. In the previous nightmares, I remember This shoe shop is located at the east end of the entire small commodity street, just a few walls away from the artificial river. So, the only assistants I can find are black warriors and bone pickers who are more deadly than sheep. People, if they are still in the garden in the middle of the street, then they can usher in a turning point.

I kicked open the rotten door, and I was indeed at the end of the alley. More cleared debris was piled under the wall. The sky was still cloudy Under the thin light, it was still evening. In the corner of this block, there was a fenced-off open space. Apparently something had happened not long ago. Looking out of the alley, I saw the garden in the middle of the street, a dry and boring garden. The priest had disappeared, but the fat man was still lingering in front of the river. At this moment, two familiar figures passed in front of him. They were the gray-haired shoemakers, standing under the eaves of a certain roof with their necks curled up. Half of his body was missing. A head, covered in blood, was staying with the man with the crew cut expressionlessly.

"Eh? Is this person also dead? It seemed like something had knocked off half of his head."When Ingram saw his old rival, a strange smile appeared on his face again. The look seemed to say that we have met again. However, when the two demon spirits found that I did not go straight towards them, but threw myself towards the water. Shore, couldn't help but look at each other, stood up and followed me.

More than ten seconds later, I came up behind the fat man out of breath. This man was looking at the rose-colored sunset with his hands on his hips, and he turned his face when he felt something strange. He raised his hand and scratched his fat head vigorously, and asked kindly:"I hate summer the most, my whole body is covered in sweat and itches terribly. I said, buddy, can you ask me to shave my head? How about a blow-wash to cool off?"

"Shave your head?"I felt confused. I just remembered Krys' description of him and said,"It doesn't matter if you ask me ten times.""

"It's really interesting. Normal people would go through this kind of thing after hearing it. It's better for you, a creature, to agree without thinking."After listening quietly, the bone picker immediately put away his smile and shouted sternly:"Excellent, excellent, others can't avoid it, but you want to find your own way out, then I will send you to the West, and I will send you to the West. Go, go together!"

While he was speaking, the flesh and skin all over the fat man's body began to swell with blisters, which soon covered his face. I knew how powerful he was, so without waiting for him to finish his nonsense, I quickly turned around and looked at the way I came from, running away without my life. Soon this fat man was The mountain exploded on the spot, and a streak of oil-like blackness slowly emerged between the skin, fat, blood and bones. It seemed to be an illusory shadow. It was a person wearing a green robe, an iron mask on his face, hair as long as steel needles, and venomous snakes coiled all over his body. A skinny banshee with no more flesh than a skeleton!

"Kill him, kill him!"The evil aura hit my face and instantly froze the surrounding blood into frost. Belshasha howled and came after me as fast as lightning! I quickly walked around the corner, and the gray-haired old man and the crew-cut man were striding towards me.. I secretly yelled"Hello". When I rushed in front of them, I did a sideways somersault and passed over the two of them. After landing, I rolled and crawled into the alley.

Compared with the old man, the Spirit Mastiff is much more alert. It has learned from various signs. He realized that there was going to be an evil star that was difficult to deal with. So he clung to the telephone pole, ran up the roof tiles of the opposite building like a monkey, and escaped on tiptoe without knowing where to go. The remaining shoemaker still stood there, still standing still. Before he could figure out what was going on, he ran into the snake-shaped temptress head-on. The God of Dreams regarded it as nothing, and without even slowing down, it penetrated the body of Suhun. It didn't even have time to utter a whimper before it was broken into a black mist. , turned into old dirt like coal particles and scattered on the ground.

I rushed into the broken door in a panic. Due to the missing arm, I couldn't control my balance and rolled down the workshop like a gourd. When I raised my head, I saw that the ground was covered with damp wall dust, and all the way. It extended to the back of the shabby room. The closed broken door was knocked down, and the black robe entered deep into the stairs. It closed the door with it, which made it unclear what the situation of Luna and Krys who were originally staying in the stairs was now.

I I didn't expect that the two demons would move so quickly, provoking Beshasha and getting trapped in a desperate situation. Just as I was about to take a few steps back to break open the door, two arms suddenly came out from the darkness and hugged my thighs fiercely. I couldn't help being shocked and hurriedly pulled my feet out.

"It's me." A disheveled face poked out of the darkness. It was a widow. She waved her hands to me repeatedly and said,"Don't waste your efforts. Seeing that the situation was critical, she locked the door herself. What were you doing just now? We both thought you ran away alone"

""Me," I twisted her half-pull back into the shadows, kept silent, and said,"Don't ask any more questions. I hope that thing has bad eyesight and misses us and chases us into the stairway. As long as we can get rid of it, Iron gate, let's try something else"

"You, what on earth did you do?"Just at this moment, there was a dull sound from the other side of the door, and Krys called out at the top of his lungs:"How can you be so heartbroken and crazy? You actually attracted the Bone Scavengers. You've ruined everything for me. I'm done!"
