Bang!
In the quiet room, a light sound suddenly rang out.
On a balcony, a skinny figure was sitting on a rock in Silence and was blankly looking into the distance.
If someone were to stand in front of this figure right now, they would most likely be shocked by this figure's majestic appearance.
The flesh on this figure's body had already completely withered, and what was left was only a body of skin and bones. That black rotten body looked just like a dried corpse that was sealed underground, terrifying and horrifying.
This dried corpse was wrapped in a black robe and was currently sitting on a rock. Silence, it was looking at the primitive and bustling city in the distance, and there was not the slightest bit of fluctuation in its pair of scarlet red eyes.
"Father, what are you looking at?" A calm voice rang out from behind.
In the depths of the room, Adil who was wearing a coarse robe and a pair of beast skin boots walked out from the dark room and arrived behind this dried corpse.
"I am looking at this city's dusk."
Feeling Adil's aura behind it, the dried corpse didn't even turn its head and said while looking at the scenery in Silence.
Right now, it was dusk. The sun in the sky was gradually setting, scattering golden light on the ground. While lighting up the surroundings, it also indicated that the night was coming.
It was obviously a very ordinary scenery, but Senge was looking at it very attentively. There was not the slightest bit of fluctuation in his pair of scarlet red eyes as he blankly looked at the people coming and going on the street in the distance. He was like a silent observer, and he kept silent.
"It's almost time." He muttered to himself. Looking at the sun that was about to set in the distant sky, the expression in his eyes seemed to be a bit complicated.
Adil went into a daze, "What?"
In front of him, Senge who was wearing a priest's robe turned around silently and looked at Adil who was in front of him.
Being stared at by such a terrifying dried corpse, if it was an ordinary person, even if it was a powerful shaman, they would definitely feel scared and have the urge to leave.
However, Adil was very calm. Silence looked at the dried corpse in front of him. Feeling the complicated gaze in the dried corpse's eyes, not only was his expression calm, there was not a bit of fluctuation in his heart, as if the dried corpse in front of him was just an ordinary person.
"You …"
Silence lasted for a long time before a hoarse voice broke the silence.
Looking at Adil, Senge's gaze was a bit complicated, the expression on his face twitched a bit, seemingly a bit surprised, "You … aren't afraid of me?"
"Why should I be afraid?" Adil replied calmly. "Fear never solves problems. It only brings new ones."
"Moreover, compared to this, you actually have your own consciousness. This is what surprises me the most."
"It's your bloodline that changed me." Sen Ge's expression became more and more complicated, "When you first appeared, I already knew your identity, you are not someone who used to be in this city …"
Adil's expression changed slightly, but he didn't say anything.
"This city is made up of everyone. Every time an outsider enters, we will be awakened. Based on our bloodline, we will eat separately." Senge said to himself while looking at Adil.
"Eat?" Adil frowned. He seemed to be a little confused about this.
"That's right, eat." Senge nodded his head, "The world is constantly changing. Every once in a while, the environment will undergo a huge change and enter what you people in the outside world call the dormant period. From then on, the entire city will fall into a deep sleep."
"Deep sleep will consume energy. Therefore, in order to accumulate the energy that we need during the period of deep sleep, we can only continuously hunt outsiders one after another and use their souls to replenish our energy, so that we can continue to sleep."
"And the so-called bloodline attraction is your method? Based on this, you allocate the people who will eat every time? "Adil's expression was cold as he looked at Senge who was in front of him and said indifferently.
Towards Senge walking into the dormant period of the curse, he didn't feel surprised at all.
As this world's famous forbidden area, in the past, there must have been quite a number of shamans who had entered this city. Because of this, there must have been quite a number of shamans who had fallen into this city. Under the devouring of their souls, it wasn't a surprising thing for some of their memories to be obtained by this city.
"Bloodline is indeed the proof of our eating."
In front of him, listening to Adil's cold words, Seng nodded and directly admitted this point. "Let's take this as an example. Out of all the people in this city, I'm the only one who really woke up this time."
Hearing this, Adil's expression didn't change, but his heart was relieved.
Only Senge, who was in front of him, had awakened. This meant that this time, Leon hadn't been exposed, so much so that the entire forbidden area's attention was attracted by Adil.
But on the surface, his expression was still cold, "Why didn't you make a move?"
His cold voice fell, but he didn't get a reply from the person opposite him.
Standing on the spot and looking at Adil in front of him, Senge's expression was a little complicated. There seemed to be some kind of emotion in that pair of scarlet eyes.
After a long time, he said, "Usually, at times like this, after our souls awaken, if we don't make a move on you within seven days, it means that we have automatically given up and given the opportunity to other souls in the city."
"I won't make a move on you, but at that time, all the other souls in the city will all awaken. I hope you are prepared."
After saying this, he unconsciously lowered his head, silently turned around, and continued to look at the scenery in the city in front of him.
"It's like this year after year, every time the soul awakens, it's the same scenery." He murmured, looked at the scenery in the distance, and didn't continue to speak.
Adil also didn't continue to try to communicate with him.
After confirming Senge's identity, feeling the passage of time, he simply broke away from the current shackles of his current identity, directly left this place, and walked into the distance.
At this time, the sky was already dark, and the dim light shrouded the earth. Although it still existed, it inevitably gradually dimmed, and it was about to enter the night.
… …
"Is the sky getting dark?"
In a very clean and tidy courtyard, Leon was wearing a set of hemp clothes. After raising his head to look at the sky in the distance, he put down the farming tools in his hands, and was ready to turn around and return to the house.
After meeting with Adil that time, his memory was once again covered up. Unless Adil stood in front of him and woke him up, under normal circumstances, his real memory would be covered up by the fake memory.
At this time, according to his usual habits, when the sky outside was about to turn dark, he would return to the house and prepare to have dinner with his family.
However, the atmosphere in the house today was obviously a bit abnormal. Even if Leon was currently being dominated by the fake memory, he still felt that something was wrong at the first moment.
"Where is everyone?"
He looked at the empty room in the house, and was a bit confused.
The Carldish family wasn't a small family, on the contrary, there were a lot of people in this family. Usually, in the house, there should be a lot of people gathered there, sitting and chatting while waiting for the next dinner.
However, right now, the house was completely empty. Not to mention other family members, even a fly couldn't be found.
Step …
Light footsteps sounded from the roof, as if there was someone walking upstairs, the footsteps were slow and firm.
"Is he upstairs?"
Leon was a bit confused, and he felt an indescribable chill in his heart.
At this moment, a kind of fear rose in his heart, and a feeling that came from the bottom of his heart was reminding him to quickly leave this place.
"Am I being too sensitive? This is my home, what is there to be afraid of? " Shaking his head, he mocked himself in his heart, "It seems that my illness hasn't recovered yet. I have only been alone for a while, and I am already afraid to this extent."
Step …
The footsteps were still sounding from upstairs, but at this time, it was gradually getting closer to the stairs. It was as if there was someone walking down the stairs with difficulty, and every step of the person was very forceful.
"Childe …" A hoarse and oppressive voice sounded from upstairs. It was as if the person had intentionally lowered his voice, and the voice was very uncomfortable to listen to.
"Father." Hearing the voice, Leon subconsciously turned around and looked behind him.
The next moment, he immediately opened his eyes wide, and his scalp felt a little numb.
Behind him, a skinny black corpse slowly walked down from the roof. The silhouette of the corpse was somewhat similar to the person in Leon's memory, but at this moment, the face of the corpse was extremely terrifying, enough to cause people to fear and not dare to come into contact with it.
"You!!"
Looking at this familiar figure that looked like a dried corpse, Leon's scalp went numb, and he subconsciously wanted to scream in fear to vent the fear and terror in his heart.
A black and skinny arm that was covered in corpse hair suddenly stretched out in front of the body.
Under Leon's fearful gaze, a creepy smile appeared on the face of the dried corpse in front of him. A pair of scarlet eyes that were filled with endless desire to devour was firmly staring at him.
Ahhhhh!!!
He looked at the arm that was stretching out toward him, and he wanted to dodge it, but his body was completely unable to react. He could only instinctively scream, and the fear in his heart was at its peak.
Bang!!
Like a huge rock smashing toward him from afar, it brought along a strong gust of wind and a strong impact force.
In the next moment, the black arm that was gradually expanding in his line of sight suddenly stopped. Then, together with the corpse, they were sent flying by some enormous force and smashed into the wall behind them, creating a large hole in the entire wall.
"What …" Leon was immediately stunned, and before he could even react to what had happened, he realized that there was an additional figure in front of him.
It was the figure of a skinny boy, and his body was wrapped in a beast skin robe that was commonly seen in this era. His two arms were naturally hanging down, and at this moment, he was standing in front of Leon, and his eyes were staring at the dried corpse that was lying on the ground in front of him.
"You are … Amuri?"
After being stunned for a long time, he finally remembered the name of the boy in front of him, and he subconsciously said it.
