The rain was pouring down, and the damp alleys were filled with the stench of sewers.
The gushing stinky water meanders along the uneven ground, gurgling down the stairs like a stream, blooming with turbid water splashes.
Passers-by stepped heavily on the water stains, stood in the stagnant water and knocked regularly on the door of a house in the alley. There was no sound, and a thick smell spread in the darkness.
After a while, the rusty iron door opened a crack, and a figure wearing a cloak and his whole body shrouded in black robes appeared.
"Dark mist fills the air."
A low and hoarse voice sounded slowly, as unpleasant and creepy as a sharp object scratching against a mirror, making people tremble unconsciously.
"The roses are withering." The visitor whispered.
After the voice fell, the dark figure standing in front of the crack of the door moved away. The visitor quickly stepped in and the iron door was closed tightly again.
The room was in darkness. Although there was a dim yellow light on the ceiling, it was like a decoration. The light did not shine at all and only reflected a little glimmer.
This glimmer of light outlined several dark silhouettes. Several people were sitting around a round table, their cloaks tightly covering their bodies.
"Is everyone here?" The person who just came in asked after sitting down and looking around.
"One more to go."
Another voice whose gender could not be distinguished said, but as soon as he finished speaking, there was another regular knock on the door.
Although the knocking on the door was not reflected outside, the ticking sound was very clear indoors.
Therefore, the dark figure who had just opened the door had to get up again, floated out from the corner, came to the door and opened a gap, staring at the person who lowered his head outside the door with a sinister gaze.
"Dark mist fills the air."
"The swan is dying."
The black shadow gave way.
The person outside the door came in sideways, with a tall and straight posture, and walked towards the round table in an unhurried and unhurried pace.
"Swan, you're late." someone said.
"I encountered a small bug on the road, and it took some time to solve it." The visitor replied coldly. She sat down in the vacant seat, her voice sounded stiff and rigid.
The room suddenly fell silent.
After a while, someone said: "During this period, the police and the church are chasing us very closely, so it's better to be careful."
"There are only two days left. Even if those people react now, they won't have time to prepare." A disdainful voice responded.
"Besides, I've already gone to the police to deal with it." Another person then said, "They have too much time to take care of themselves now."
"Compared to before, the officials this time are really useless."
Harsh mocking sounds came from the darkness, hoarse and unpleasant, like the murmurs of demons, and a cold and thick breath lingered here.
Each arrangement was told by the silhouetted shadow under the dim light. During this time, the whole city was shrouded in haze, and there was a diffuse black fog everywhere.
At this time, a voice asked: "How are the sacrifices prepared?"
The person who came in last and remained silent said calmly: "I have already cultivated three sacrifices for the master. These are the containers that are carefully selected to be the most suitable for the master."
"We only want one."
"It will be one."
"Well, this ceremony is very important. I hope you won't make the same mistake as last time." The black shadow looked at the silhouette of the woman sitting there and said with a hint of warning.
Hearing this, the originally quiet person looked over instantly and sneered: "Last time there was a problem, it was not because you failed to take care of your Death Eaters and took away the sacrifices I prepared without authorization!"
"Those contaminated Death Eaters have no brains and only act on instinct, which is really troublesome sometimes." Another voice said impatiently.
Although the "contamination" released can cause trouble for the police and churches, if it is not managed well, it will also cause trouble for themselves.
Before preparing to summon the Lord God this time, they also held a prayer ceremony. However, because the prepared sacrifices were contaminated by Death Eaters at some point, they were left praying alone and almost got bitten by the black mist.
.
"No matter what, you must protect this sacrifice."
"I know." The man lowered his head and responded, but his voice was slightly lower and his whole person was in the shadows.
At this time, the dark figure in the corner looked around at the crowd and said again: "So, the only problem we have left to solve is the church, right?"
After the words fell, the atmosphere in the entire room became thicker and colder, and it was so silent that there was no extra breath.
The church that had expelled them decades ago was the most difficult enemy this time!
…
Heavy rain fell on the roof, and there were puddles on the bungalow. It hit the ground along the drainage channel on the roof, and water sprayed everywhere.
A dark shadow hung upside down from the eaves, motionless like a dead thing, perfectly blending into the night, with rainwater flowing down its body onto the ground.
Suddenly, the shadow's head turned slightly, and its empty eyes turned somewhere.
Tick tock...tick tock...
It was like the ticking of a clock, or like the sound of something dripping in water. Suddenly, it seemed that only this strange tone was resounding in the whole world.
The suffocating and thick darkness flows slowly.
On the roof, the person who was lying there listening suddenly became alert and without the slightest hesitation, he stood up and swept away into the distance!
But the next moment, countless black tentacles rushed behind him!
Wow!
The black strip hit the building and instantly spread into a black mist that dissipated without making any sound.
But the escaping people didn't dare to underestimate him at all, and quickly shuttled through the rain without looking back.
There was the sound of rapid footsteps in the alley, water splashed from heavy trampling, and the darkness that followed followed him and enveloped him from all directions!
Darkness like a confluence of rivers rushed out of the alley and rushed towards the people in the center, but the latter also jumped up in an instant, avoiding the encirclement and impact, then jumped onto the roof and continued running into the distance.
At this time, a black tentacle as fast as lightning suddenly rushed out from the side. The person who came was caught off guard and was knocked off the roof, falling to the ground and rolling several times.
The cold and suffocating black fog once again spread from the alleys extending in all directions, and the majestic heavy rain beat sadly on the ground, but did not make any sound.
The world seemed to be silent, with only the sound of "ticking" playing in my heart like a drum.
The visitor stood up and looked up, only to see that the sky was also dark, raindrops fell on his face from the black mist, and water dripped down his chin.
Surrounded...
The black mist is silent and blends into the night, yet it is darker than the night.
Suddenly, a black tentacle swept out from the black mist, quickly wrapped around his waist and retracted it!
boom--
He was forced into the black fog, and his mind was instantly filled with weird and noisy murmurs, making him dizzy and confused.
But the next moment, he suddenly flew out of the thick black fog, and the crisp sound of rain rushed into his ears, washing away the messy sounds.
The black mist behind him chased out crazily, but after touching the neon lights on the street, it disappeared without a trace in an instant.
The man bound by the black tentacles quickly crossed the street and flew into the alley opposite.
A figure poked out from the black mist, glanced at the colors over there with sadness, and turned back to the small house with a rusty iron door in the alley.
"Did they follow you? - You didn't handle it properly!"
In the hut, a dangerous and cold voice sounded.
But the deep female voice was not frightened at all and sneered: "Maybe the eavesdroppers were already up there before I came. Isn't it because you didn't monitor the surroundings well?"
"Stop arguing. I don't know how much that person heard. Please go deal with your own affairs immediately."
After the words fell, no one spoke again.
The dim light on the ceiling dimmed completely, and the few silhouettes of people who had appeared faintly disappeared into the darkness, and the entire cabin returned to a dead black silence.
