The autumn wind blew, and the pale yellow grassland gave off a sense of desolation. A black wild dog appeared in the grass, sniffing with its sensitive nose.
Soon, its nose touched something pale. The wild dog raised its head, and in its almost black eyes, it saw a row of corpses neatly arranged in rows.
They lay on the ground with their heads facing north, as if they had all fallen asleep. What was even stranger was that they all had the same wound on their faces. There was a straight cut on their forehead and nose, but the strange thing was that not a single drop of blood flowed out from the wound.
The wild dog opened its mouth and bit the corpse's hand, dragging it up. But at that moment, a cold light flashed, and the wild dog howled and died.
A strange man wearing a bamboo hat, a mask, and a brown raincoat appeared among the corpses.
He had two identical swords, one in his left hand and one in his right. The blades were square, neither long nor short.
Who am I? I'm the number one killer in the wilderness, Killer Liuliu, a man who kills without blinking. I'll kill for money, and for bread. Of course, I'm not limited to humans. I'll kill monsters, monsters, fairies, as long as it's something I can kill. I'm a bad guy through and through.
Killer Liuliu picked up the water bottle on the ground and hung it on his left. Strangely, there was a similar one on his right …
In a dilapidated relay station in the wilderness, a black and white flag was hanging on the almost rotten signboard. Very few people knew what this black and white flag meant, but they only knew that this was not a place where they should be.
Killer Liuliu came to the relay station. There were six or seven shabby wooden tables, and the chairs were long benches. But for some reason, most of them were long and short.
The people sitting inside were all masked and mysterious people wearing hats. Only the lady boss of the relay station showed her face.
But strangely, she had a graceful figure, but her appearance was a little scary. Her eyes were reddish-brown, and her pupils were huge like a beast's. There were also green scales on her chin and ears.
She was the offspring of a human and a lizard, which meant that she was called a monster by humans.
When the lady boss saw Killer Liuliu, she wiped the table with a rag and poured him a glass of water. Then she said coldly, "You're not dead yet."
"He's still hiding."
Half of Killer Liuliu's face was covered, and his eyes were also covered by a bamboo hat. No one could see his expression.
"As usual?"
"As usual."
The conversation between the two was very brief, as if they were unwilling to say another word.
Soon, the lady boss brought two dishes over. One was salt-baked peanuts, and the other was roast beef. Quietly, the surrounding people looked over. They seemed to be very curious about what Killer Liuliu looked like.
However, Killer Liuliu lowered his head and arranged the peanuts one by one. Everyone watched him for half an hour and couldn't help but lose their patience.
Just as everyone shifted their gazes away, all the food on his table disappeared.
"It's almost winter."
Just when everyone was sighing in disappointment, Killer Liuliu suddenly spoke. Of course, they knew that she was talking to the lady boss.
"Yes."
The Lady Boss understood what he was trying to say. It was winter, and it was time for humans to counterattack. When that time came, there would definitely be chaos at the borders, and this place would definitely be affected.
They were like duckweeds on the surface of the water. Any disturbance would affect them.
"I heard that there are sorcerers who can turn monsters into humans."
Killer Liuliu left this sentence, then stood up and left. As usual, there were four silver coins neatly arranged on the table.
The Lady Boss looked at his back and fell into deep thought. The direction he was going was Spider Valley. That place was very scary. Even the scary half-werewolf couldn't leave alive.
…
Reina woke up from her sleep. She dreamed that Mr. Ball was missing.
"Mr. Ball?"
She shouted, but there was no response. It was too strange. Mr. Ball shouldn't be sleeping! Moreover, it wouldn't go out at night. It would definitely stay by her side to protect her.
It was still dark outside the window. With a bit of moonlight, Reina got out of bed and lit the lamp. However, she didn't find any trace of Mr. Ball.
Reina's sleepiness instantly disappeared. She hurriedly put on her shoes and walked out of the room. However, when she opened the door, she suddenly realized that there was a pitch-black sea in front of her.
She was shocked and hurriedly retreated. However, when she took a step back, she suddenly sank. Half of her body was submerged in the black sea.
"What's going on? Where is this? "
Reina realized that the room behind her had disappeared. There was only darkness left. She looked up and the scene above her almost made her lose her courage. The huge black moon was like a huge hole. The hole was filled with people. They had painful and hideous expressions on their faces. Black water overflowed from their bodies.
The black sea became deeper and deeper, gradually surging with waves. Reina felt that she couldn't breathe. She was about to drown, but she couldn't save herself.
However, just as she was about to be submerged, a light appeared in front of her and grabbed her hand.
Reina woke up. She was sweating profusely. The silver bracelet on her hand was shining, but it quickly dimmed.
"You're awake?"
The old lady's voice sounded. Reina was still in her room, but she suddenly realized that there were some strange stones scattered on the floor. They were extremely black, even blacker than coal.
"I seemed to have had a terrible nightmare."
Reina rubbed her forehead and said. She didn't ask why the old lady was here. She thought that she might have made a sound when she had a nightmare.
"What kind of nightmare?"
The old lady slowly picked up the black stones on the ground and wrapped them with a cloth.
Reina told her about her dream. After hearing it, the old lady was silent for a few seconds. Her expression became very complicated.
"That wasn't a dream."
After saying that, the old lady left the room. Reina was confused. That wasn't a dream? Then what was it?
She quickly got up and followed the old lady to the old house. The old lady threw the black stones into the fireplace. Immediately, the flames inside turned purple.
Perhaps because of the nightmare, Reina was especially awake. She narrowed her eyes and looked at the flames. Suddenly, she felt a bone-piercing chill.
"If that wasn't a dream, then what was it? I was in a black sea. There seemed to be a big hole in the sky, and black water was flowing out. "
Reina couldn't help but ask. She hugged her hands and wiped them up and down.
The old lady covered her with a blanket and said, "That's a door."
"Door? What door? "
Reina was even more confused.
The old lady sat in front of Reina. She took out a palm-sized, ancient-looking compass from the cabinet and placed it on the table. The compass started to spin.
