Lord of the Witches

A huge mountain of unknown height, completely shrouded in shadow.

In the forest path, five figures were struggling to escape, their rapid breathing and suppressed cries mixed together, the moonlight falling from the sky was partially covered by dark clouds, and the five could barely see the path a few meters ahead.

There are thick grass on both sides, various strange trees with rich but bare branches, and the cold wind whizzes like the roar of a devil.

These five people are two men and three women, a boy with dark curly hair and glasses, a strong young man with blond hair, a girl with red curly hair, an older woman with short blond hair, and the oldest one, a brown-haired man in a teacher's costume A middle-aged woman in a dish.

As if it was inconvenient to run, she took off her high-heeled shoes and held them in her hands. Her fair feet had already been cut with many small wounds by gravel and thorns, but her physical strength still ranked second among the five, second only to the strong youth.

Soon, the red-haired girl with the weakest physical strength, together with the boy with glasses, staggered and fell to the ground while screaming, and the other three stopped.

While the two were helping them, the middle-aged woman suddenly turned her head and asked:

"Mai Qian, how long is it? We can hardly hold on anymore."

Accompanied by her inquiry, she saw a huge "beast" poking its head out of the shadows beside her without a sound.

This is a giant wolf with silver-white hair all over its body, which looks like glowing in the moonlight.

Its mighty and domineering head, with a pair of eyes flashing with human color, saw a few people stop, flashed anxiously in the eyes, and said: "You can't rest, you can only enter the street of Mirage, you to be safe for the time being."

"It's just ahead, hold on for a while..."

While the silver-white giant wolf was speaking, the pupils of the wolf shone with light. The strong light faded when it reached a distance, but it was faintly visible. At the end of the path, at the exit of the forest, an extremely bustling street appeared strangely.

The five people even saw the road paved with cyan slate, the shops on both sides, the exciting glass windows, the towering buildings, and the layers of neon light. It was a modern society, and that was the breath of civilization.

The hope was right in front of them, and the five people who were already pale with exhaustion cheered up their spirits, but soon, a series of terrifying roars came from behind them, followed by a black shadow bigger than a giant wolf, He was crashing into trees and other obstacles along the way, chasing and killing them.

Under the faint moonlight, the five people could see clearly that there were several monsters.

They seem to be "pig-shaped monsters" that have been magnified many times, carrying a kitchen knife, an axe, a steel fork... and even a chainsaw and other exaggerated weapons in their hands. The stench of the man and the giant wolf swept over like a storm.

They roared:

"Mai Qian, you have abducted our prey again, I will tear you apart."

"Damn guy, I can't forgive you this time."

"Our little darlings, stop, the front is the territory of that monster, don't go in, you will die miserably."

These monsters can also speak human words, and it seems that they have leaked some more terrifying information.

But at this time, the five of them had no second choice at all.

They originally had a team of more than a dozen people. They watched with their own eyes that other companions were killed by these monsters and thrown into a bloody place they called "granary".

"Run away!"

The middle-aged woman shouted directly.

Immediately, she was the first to burst out like a sprinter, and headed for the brightly lit street.

The other four followed suit.

Although they worked hard, their speed couldn't compare with the huge monsters. Just when they were about to be caught up, the silver-white giant wolf slammed on the brakes, and the color of determination flashed across the humanized eyes, facing Five people said: "I'm here to stop them. Hurry up and enter Mirage Street. Remember, at midnight... don't buy candles."

After the words fell, it turned its head and pounced on the three-headed monster.

When the five people rushed into the street one after another and felt the breath of lights, they immediately turned around and covered their mouths at the same time, tears falling down uncontrollably.

Not far away, at the end of the path, those monsters were dismembering the giant wolf Maggie.

Its head, limbs and torso have been completely separated, and the agility inside the dazzling and domineering silver eyes is gradually disappearing.

What is moving is that from the beginning to the end, the giant wolf did not make any sound.

"Maisie..."

Even the strongest middle-aged woman finally couldn't hold on at this time, and crouched down, tears dripping down.

The dazzling lights cut the street and the forest path into two worlds. As the giant wolf said, those monsters were afraid of this street called "Street of Mirage" and did not dare to offend the slightest bit. Glancing at the five people, he quickly left with the giant wolf's body on his shoulders.

Sadness swept through the five people. They were not killed by those ferocious and ugly monsters like other companions, because Maggie appeared in front of them when the five people's graduation tour group strayed into this strange world. Take them to avoid monsters.

Now, she too was killed.

Just when the five people were confused and helpless, suddenly, a shout came from the side:

"Hey, you guys, do you want to eat roast duck?"

The five people turned their heads subconsciously, and what they saw was a fat white man in a chef's uniform, lying on the windowsill on the first floor, staring at them.

Behind him, there are hanging roast ducks. The golden oil drips down, and the rich aroma that makes people move their index fingers wafts out.

Including the middle-aged woman, they all made a subconscious "gudong" and swallowed their saliva.

Weird emotions replaced the sadness deep in their hearts.

Somehow, the leading woman asked, "How much is one?"

The fat man seemed to have been waiting, and immediately replied: "Here, only exchanges are accepted."

After finishing speaking, a strange smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and his mouth opened, revealing yellow and black teeth and sticky saliva.

His gaze wandered back and forth among the five people as if picking goods, and finally landed on the strong blond young man. In a hoarse, greedy voice, he slowly added: "One person, for a roast duck, the whole street , the cheapest here.”

As if in response to him, there was a continuous sound of windows being opened, and fat heads poked out one after another, staring at them strangely at the same time.

At this moment, the lights on the street, shops, buildings... everything suddenly became unreal, rippling with ripples, as if they were about to disappear at any time.

Those fat people in chef uniforms, the "roast ducks" behind them seemed to have begun to mutate, with tentacles, pustules, and strange eyes... What's even more weird was that the aroma of the roast duck suddenly became stronger.

boom!

At this time, the heads of the five people seemed to have been severely beaten with a sledgehammer. Terrifying ravings echoed, and the creepy breath grew crazily.

The leading middle-aged woman mustered up her courage, turned her head stiffly, and looked towards the end of the street, trying to see a way out.

But in her eyes, she only saw one "roast duck restaurant" after another, and the darkness was sweeping over from a distance.

Dang Dang Dang Dang Dang!

Very abruptly, the melodious bell rang.

In the eyes of the five people, those terrifying "roast duck shop owners" all showed panic, and shrank their bodies back into the shop in a frenzied way, with endless bang bang bang bangs.

The reassuring lights began to go out one by one.

Infinite darkness descended almost instantly.

"Midnight~ is it here?"

Among the five, the young man with curly hair and glasses said tremblingly.

Without his reminding, several people gathered together, unprecedented fear began to occupy their hearts.

In the darkness, the cold wind, like a spider's silk, entangled them and spread to all parts of their bodies along the crevice of their necks. The fluffy snow began to fall, and the coldness brought by each piece of melting made their hearts beat a little slower.

From what was supposed to be a dark perspective, they suddenly saw clusters of shadows in the blackness of nothingness. They had grotesque bodies. They penetrated some kind of barrier, and the low-pitched ravings came out. Sticky, rotten tentacles, A huge empty palm spread towards them.

A wild, chaotic impulse, forming a tidal wave, began to pound their souls.

The five of them realized that if this continued, would they become lunatics?

At this time, in the darkness, a soft breathing sound suddenly appeared.

The bodies of the five trembled violently, and the terrible cold breath was like countless caterpillars crawling up their backs.

Without any warning, a ball of flames suddenly sprang up in front of the five people. With the help of the brilliant burst of brilliance, the five people suddenly saw a "puppet" with only the upper body protruding from the darkness. It is directly sewn from rags and skirts.

Her facial features, hands and torso are extremely rough, and they seem to have been used for a long time, and they are dirty everywhere.

At this moment, the puppet was looking at the five people with a pair of dark eyes. In the darkness, a begging voice suddenly sounded, and she asked, "Ma'am, do you want to buy candles?"

The middle-aged woman who was questioned quickly noticed that with the appearance of the candle light, those terrible shadows faded away in an instant.

An impulse to buy arises.

But just when she was about to speak, Maggie's last reminder appeared.

The horror of horror once again occupied her heart.

She didn't even dare to open her mouth to answer, she just shook her head frantically.

A look of heartbreaking disappointment immediately appeared on the puppet's face, and with a glimmer of hope, she looked at the strong young man and asked, "Sir, do you want to buy candles?"

The young man who had already received the hint quickly shook his head.

The other three followed suit.

The five of them refused one after another. She was clearly just a tattered doll, but she exuded an extremely moving look of disappointment, which made the five feel guilty and gnawed at their hearts like a poisonous snake.

The middle-aged woman who was the first to refuse among them looked at the blackened snowflakes falling on the dirty body of the puppet, and a strangely strong maternal instinct occupied her body, she blurted out uncontrollably, and asked :"I'll buy……"

call!

Suddenly, the candle in the puppet's hand went out.

When the last bit of brilliance faded away, a rotten and ferocious face was suddenly reflected in their eyes.

All five of them froze in place.

Unprecedented fear and horror are about to freeze their souls.

A group of flames shot out again, and when the brilliant brilliance emerged again, the four of them saw the middle-aged woman standing beside them, their English teacher Martha, she was burning like a human-shaped candle, The yellow-white wax oil flows down as it burns.

Her body was shaking, but she couldn't move, and there was indescribable fear in her eyes.

Martha is still alive.

"help me!"

Difficult to ask for help, causing wax oil to flow into her mouth.

In an instant, she could no longer speak.

The gradually solidified wax glued her mouth together.

Screaming and wailing, several people had already tried it when they first came to this world, but at this time, the four of them still couldn't stop their instincts, the screams were extremely horrific, filled with infinite fear, and resounded through the street shrouded in darkness .

When Martha burned, she released warmth and a certain aroma, which kept the four of them warm in the snowy night.

But their hearts were occupied by intense fear, and the four of them wanted to flee immediately, but their legs seemed to be fixed in place, and they couldn't do anything else except tremble.

At this time, in front of Martha.

The dirty puppet turned her head again and looked at the four of them, as if following the previous order, she asked the strong young man, "Sir, do you want to buy candles?"

Young people have completely overwhelmed their souls with fear.

He tightly covered his mouth, the strong pressure made his gums start to bleed, he mustered up all his courage, and shook his head slowly.

Muppet, and turned to the next one.

Just when her question was about to be uttered, at this sudden moment, a door of nothingness opened.

In the black vortex, a figure came out, dressed in loose and comfortable clothes, carrying a herbal medicine box, with a handsome appearance and an aura that made people feel good.

A wandering pharmacist?

The four of them were taken aback for a moment.

Then there was hope in his eyes, at this time, it doesn't matter who it is, as long as they can save them.

Tang Qi, who had just appeared, looked at the picture in front of him, and clusters of fragments of information exploded in his mind one after another, his eyes immediately narrowed slightly.

At this moment, the puppet skipped over the four of them and walked up to Tang Qi.

A rough and messy little face was reflected in Tang Qi's eyes by the radiance released by the burning of "Martha".

She took out a white candle, handed it over, and asked pleadingly, "Sir, do you want to buy a candle?"

Tang Qi looked at the sympathetic puppet in front of him. Hearing the crisp pleading, compared with the special picture that appeared in his mind, the terrible malice that was so strong that he couldn't wait to entangle himself, his expression became weird .

He tilted his head, put his hands into the medicine box, ignored the crazy hints from the other four people, seemed to be withdrawing money, and at the same time smiled gently at the puppet, and said, "Not only will I buy it, but your candle... I have it all covered."

"Roar!"

Accompanied by Tang Qi's voice, the dragon roared and fired infinitely.

boom! boom! boom!

The golden bullets made entirely of the magic power of the furnace poured down on the poor puppet like a torrential rain.

A sharp, human-like wail suddenly came out of the puppet's mouth, but it stopped abruptly after a few sounds, because her entire head was smashed to pieces, and the tattered cloth and dirty black cotton did not fly out. was burned.

But what soon appeared were balls of minced meat that exploded one after another, fresh, disgusting bright red minced meat.

It's just that before these minced meat showed pollution, they were baptized by the magic power of the furnace, and they were bombarded with holes in an instant, as if they would soon be completely blasted into nothingness.

But in Tang Qi's eyes, the fragments of information that should have never appeared.

On the contrary, a more intense and terrifying malice than before, almost condensed into substance, entwined towards him.

At the end of the street, in the deepest part of the darkness, the deep roar that makes the soul tremble, one after another, like an army of monsters ready to move, charging towards them.

This time there is no need for the burning "Martha". The dazzling fire, burning the darkness, made it clear for several people.

At the end of this weird street called "Street of Mirage", there was indeed a large army, an army composed entirely of "candle men" running slowly.
