Chapter 168 "It's coming! Save me"

"Let's change our thinking. Maybe Morgana is the mastermind behind this."

"The author is anonymous. After reading this and then looking back at these lines of poetry, do you feel a chill down your spine?"

"Of course, it tastes just right!"

As the audience was discussing, the first short story title was presented.

[I. A flock of crows]

"I'm already nervous!"

“Ahhh, I’m scared!!”

“Looking forward to Su Shen’s horror story.”

"Hubbard held his aching head and sat up from the moldy wooden bed."

"Last night, the mead that had gone bad got him drunk."

"He had a vague memory of a battle in the past, a time when he was a deserter."

"For the next few days, he locked himself in this thatched house on the outskirts of Jinpo Town, recalling the despair on the battlefield."

bang bang bang-

There was a knock on the door.

There was a murmur of voices in the house, and then silence.

David changed his approach. He first took a few steps back, then rushed forward and tried to push the door open with his shoulder.

Unfortunately, it's still useless.

He spread his hands, shrugged and smiled helplessly, thinking that this neighbor was really nice.

The poor old man still had some strength left in him. He leaned against the door with his whole body and kept muttering something about his height, spiders, and being pecked to death by birds.

Who believes him!

The only thing that could peck him to death was a wine bottle.

"David, forget it. I think the old man has probably locked the door and is sleeping soundly in there by himself."

"That's right. Leave him alone for a few days and he'll wake up on his own."

"He always boasted to us about how impressive he was in the army. Last night, when he got drunk, we found out that he was a deserter. Now he's afraid to see us."

"Let's go and ignore him."

Hearing the laughter and persuasion from his companions behind him, David hesitated for a moment.

He always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what it was.

"Hey, let's go, what are you hesitating about!"

A companion came over and pulled him out of the door. David looked back at the thatched house with all the windows sealed.

Then, surrounded by his companions, he left half worried and half doubtful.

[“It feels like a horror movie.”]
[“I don’t dare to look down!”]
[“There must be something wrong with this thatched house. When David knocked on the door, Hubbard might have already become a corpse.”]
[“But a second ago he could still feel the other person leaning against the door, mumbling something.”]
[“Height, spiders, being pecked to death by a bird. Was he drunk or not?”]
[“Notice the last detail. All the windows in this house are sealed shut.”]
[“So many doubts and suspense!”]
[“And the description of Hubbard at the beginning, the vague battle, the desertion, the despair, I feel like it’s a bit like foreshadowing.”]
[“Oh my god, my curiosity is aroused. No matter how scared I am, I still want to watch and find out what’s going on.”]
Right at this moment, on the big screen.

A character monologue emerges.

"That day, he didn't want to come out."

“So we all went home.”

"But in one night, everything changed."

"The first scream was heard."

"The whole town could hear it."

""It's just like""

"Who ripped open Hubbard's chest and pulled out his lifelong screams?"

"Then there was a second sound."

““Almost exactly the same—””

"But it's even more tragic."

"The sound was high-pitched and piercing, like a sack wrapped in rusty iron. It sounded like a human, or like an imitation of a human cry for help."

【It's coming! 】

【help me】

[Please, don’t!!]

Seeing this, the audience seemed to imagine the scene and hear the piercing sound, and they all covered their ears, their hearts pounding.

"How creepy."

"I've screamed my whole life, and now my scalp is tingling when I hear this sentence."

"What on earth is it?"

"Demacia is a country that can compete with Noxus after all. How can such a thing exist here? It makes me feel creepy."

"Is it possible Hannibal?"

"It doesn't seem like something a human could do. Is this another new monster setting?"

"Lets see!"

"I heard heart-wrenching screams."

"People in the town took up arms, came out of their homes and gathered together."

"Mage!"

The baker's wife cried out, "It must be them again."

"Let's not talk about this for now, let's go and save people!" The mayor was panicked but not confused. He immediately counted the people and asked, "Who can tell where it is?"

A middle-aged man with a scythe and unshaven beard said, "It should be a thatched house in the suburbs. I just came from there."

"Everyone will follow the main group in a while. Remember not to fall behind and do not act alone."

"Let's get there quickly!"

After a stick of incense.

crunch--

The shabby door of the thatched house was pushed open.

The moonlight shone into the dark house. A young man was eager to go in to investigate the situation, but was pulled back by the mayor.

The young guy looked puzzled.

"Those guys are extremely cunning, be careful of the trap."

The mayor explained, then he glanced at the crowd behind him and gave a look.

Then, there was a slight sound of weapons being drawn among the crowd, and arrows and swords flew into the room from all directions.

The sounds of iron clashing and falling continued for a long time before gradually subsiding.

After the house returned to silence, the mayor waved his hand and ordered people to go in and check.

However, the house was empty.

"Does anyone know who has lived here recently?" the mayor asked the crowd.

"He's an old drunkard."

David from the back of the team responded.

He was feeling very complicated at the moment. The scene of drinking with this old guy the day before yesterday was still vivid in his mind, but in the blink of an eye, the person was gone.

He was very sure that the screams just now were made by Hubbard.

Thinking back to the strangeness he noticed yesterday, he now regretted not forcing the door open and taking Hubbard back.

At this time, angry voices were heard from the crowd.

"Mage! It's them again!!"

"These sons of bitches, no wonder they are like rats crossing the street in the city, and everyone wants to beat them up."

"They should pay with their lives!!"

"Come on, this has happened a hundred, maybe two hundred times since Winter Claw came to the North."

"What can we do with them?"

"It's good enough that they didn't target me and kill me. In the past, if there was any sign of magic, some people would be scared crazy."

The mayor pondered for a long time in the wind, then gave an order to disperse everyone.

"Well, our Jinpo Town is going to be in turmoil again recently."

"Everyone, remember to block the doors and windows after you go back, don't let that guy take advantage of you."

"I will contact the city governor tomorrow and ask them to send someone to handle it."
