Chapter 31: Dark Shadows
In the silent night, from the moment of nightfall, Fuyuki City seems to have deliberately hidden itself in the darkness, and the excitement of the day has completely disappeared without a trace. It's as if it's an empty city with no people.
For all the things that have happened during this period of time, the residents of Fuyuki City are very sensitive to smell some dangerous breaths, not to mention, the transfer of troops has always been impossible to hide. This point made the residents of Fuyuki City feel uneasy for a while, is there going to be a war? Is there a war? Or are some terrible terrorists infiltrating Fuyuki City?
Therefore, for the sake of their own safety, the residents of Fuyuki City wisely complied with the government's call. When night fell, there was no longer a single figure in the streets, and everyone hid in their homes with their doors closed. Only in this way can it bring them a sense of security.
I don't know how long these days will last......
However, even though Fuyuki City has become such a dangerous area, there are still many human beings who are not afraid of death.
No, it's not accurate to say that you are not afraid of death, it's just that **** people who buy drunk, no matter when and where, can never disappear.
"Hiccup...... Belch...... That damn director, he knew that he bullied me, pushed me on my head whenever there was any difficult work, and always found excuses to find fault and scold me, clearly...... Clearly trying to get rid of me! How can it be repaired!! ”
In an izakaya near the station, several men are drinking in the middle of the house, and generally speaking, finding an izakaya to drink at after work has become a must-have for many adult Japanese men every day, but it is a bit bold to stay in an izakaya at this time.
"Good, good...... Guest, we are almost closing, could you please settle the bill first? The owner of the izakaya said helplessly. Because of the recent lack of peace, his business has also been much lighter. However, in any case, it is still the most important thing for their own safety, and the recent security is not good, and the boss also hopes to be able to go home sooner.
It's just that today's drunken customers seem to be old classmates, and they have been drinking for hours from dusk to now in his shop.
"Hiccup...... Boss, it's not like I can't afford to pay for it, and then ...... Give me another ...... Wine ......" a drunk man in a suit slapped the table and shouted loudly, his tongue was knotted when he spoke, and his consciousness was not very clear.
Beside him, another drunk in civilian clothes, also took a sip of wine from his glass, and then shouted, "Boss, another sashimi." ”
There were four drunkards sitting in the shop, and when they heard these two drunks call this and that, the other two could not stand idle, and shouted as if they were coaxing:
"Boss, serve another puffer fish hot pot, don't peel it!"
"Boss, open me a bottle of 86-year-old Lafite, not even one year less!"
The owner of the izakaya pressed the green tendons on his forehead, after all, he had not seen any kind of drunkard for so many years, he took a deep breath, pulled out a professional smile, and said to the four guys who were a little delirious: "Guests, I'm sorry, the food in the store has been eaten by you, and there is no more wine!" Please come back tomorrow! ”
After a while, the four drunkards were finally coaxed away, and the owner of the izakaya finally began to pack up his things and prepare for closing.
And the four drunkards supported each other and staggered away.
At this time, the weather was already early winter, and the cold wind blew, which shocked the four people who had drunk too much, and the wine also dissipated a lot. Because it's not been peaceful lately......
"I'm afraid...... What are you afraid of, the four of us? One of them said as if he had a bold heart.
"Haha...... I didn't say anything, but you're scared. The other scoffed.
"Nonsense, you're afraid!" Not to be outdone, the man replied.
"It's you!"
"It's you!"
The four of them were arguing and walking, but the unprovoked fear dissipated a lot.
Just as the four of them walked around a corner and into another street......
Dark...... Silently surrounded the place.
The street lights around the area, starting from the front, began to go out one by one...... The ensuing darkness, like a monster, was walking towards the four of them step by step.
The wine of these four people woke up at once, and all the alcohol on their bodies was discharged from their pores along with cold sweat. It was a palpitation for no reason, a feeling like the instinctive fear that naturally arises when an animal sees its predator.
"That'...... What is that? ”
"That's ...... What the? What's that?!! ”
"Demonic ...... Definitely, it must be a demon! Devils!! ”
Two of the four had weakened legs and could not even support their bodies and collapsed to the ground. Because, in front of their eyes, a pitch-black object was coming from the darkness ahead......
What kind of creature is that? …… No, it's impossible to tell if it's a creature or not. It seemed to be a humanoid creature assembled from countless black bands, and every step it took turned its surroundings into pitch black darkness.
"Demonic ...... Fast...... Come on!!! ”
With a terrible scream, someone finally couldn't resist the fear in his heart and turned and fled.
The remaining three also woke up from a dream, and hurriedly turned around and wanted to escape.
It's just that before the three of them could run two steps away, they saw the fate of their companions who were only three or five meters ahead of them-
Black shadows quickly crossed under their feet, and then, the person who was running, countless strips of substance like black belts suddenly appeared under his feet, and those black belts contained extremely strong power, and in an instant, the person was tied into a rice dumpling.
The man who was tied into zongzi seemed to have known what happened to him next, and with the support of the survival **, he couldn't help but let out the last cry of his life: "Help!" Help me! I don't want to die! Help me!! Help me!!! ”
The remaining three watched as their friend, who screamed so badly that he didn't want to die, was tightly wrapped around the countless black bands like long snakes, and finally dragged him into the dark shadow at his feet......
"Ah......h It's just that this voice immediately turned into an extremely high-pitched scream......
"Ahh————————————!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!h
As if to release all the voices of this life in one breath, and as if hoping that this scream can drive away the unknown source of terror, this scream, shouting to the end, all that is left is nothing more than four words-
"I don't want to die...... Don't want to die...... Don't want to die...... Woooo..................oo
However, even this plea for mercy was swallowed up by the darkness of despair......
When the night was quiet again, the only thing left in the silent wide street was the humanoid object that seemed to be made up entirely of shadows.
This shuddering figure stood quietly in place for a moment, as if it was reminiscing about the taste of the four prey just now.
A moment later, the figure made a sound, and it was so distorted that it was impossible to imagine what kind of creature could make such an ugly, distorted, harsh, terrifying sound. The sound could not be accurately described in human language, and if it had been heard, it would have been perceived as a whisper of the most terrible nightmare that only appeared in the depths of the nightmare.
"No...... Enough...... Not enough...... Food...... Too little...... Hungry...... I'm so hungry...... I'm going to...... More...... More ...... Food. ”
