Chapter 17:
There was silence in the living room on the second floor -
under the influence of this movement that could not be ignored, everyone unconsciously became quiet.
This loud noise was like waking up in the morning and the neighbor was demolishing the wall with a sledgehammer.
The most appropriate sound was made at the right time.
"."
"What's this?"
Finally, Thomson spoke.
The merchant, who had been stimulated one after another, was looking at Ronald and Nessos with a look of fear on his face, and at the same time he pointed cautiously at the top of his head.
The courage he had when he refuted the boy seemed to have completely disappeared from him.
However, following his instinct, he still asked his two companions.
After all, judging from previous performances, the two people around him were not on the same level as him.
"Tsk -"
Seeing Thomson's timid appearance, Ronald had a headache, but he still explained:
"It's the sound of wood being broken."
"According to the analysis of the small movements at the same time, it should be a wooden door. He looked like he was being cut off at the waist."
Unfortunately, Thomson seemed unable to accept Ronald's explanation:
"I'm not asking about the door, but what's going on above!"
"Isn't there another monster?"
Ronald De shook his head and said,
"I don't know how to see through walls."
"."
After being choked by Ronald, the middle-aged businessman became completely silent and could no longer hold back a single word.
"Wooden door."
Unlike the panicked Thomson, after hearing Ronald's explanation, Nessos lowered his head and thought for two seconds, then raised his head seriously:
"Want to take a look?"
He pointed to the window of the living room, Ronald expressed his thoughts:
"We must go."
"And we don't have much time."
Through the window of the living room, the firelight of the fireplace could barely make people see the night outside.
The thick fog that had swallowed up the convoy and its companions before was still eating away at the center bit by bit. Although this process is slow, it still makes people feel the terrifying depression and danger.
Based on the current speed of the dense fog, it is estimated
that in about another hour, this thing will be able to push the distance to the edge of the mansion.
Eventually, the all-devouring darkness will completely envelope the entire Black Mountain.
By then, there probably won't be anyone to entertain them with hot soup and food.
"Huh -"
"Okay, okay."
"It's really frustrating to encounter such a fatal thing while rushing."
Taking a deep breath helplessly, Nessus immediately put the lamp on the On the table, he put his right hand into his arms and took the lead towards the right side of the house.
——There are the steps leading upstairs.
Without hesitation, Ronald followed closely behind:
"Businessmen pursue profits. Since Gain doesn't want to lose those fruits, it is inevitable that such a thing will happen." "
Who says it's not the case?"
Seeing Nassos He and Ronald walked to the second floor one behind the other. Thomson who was still standing behind him was completely different.
Listen to the conversation between the two and watch their movements.
For Hong Shang, there are too many things that are difficult to understand.
Although they are obviously in danger, why are these two guys still chatting like they are taking a walk after dinner while actively stepping into the crisis?
"Naissus, you guys..."
"Are you desperate for your life?"
"."
Before the figure disappeared around the corner of the stairs, Nassos heard Thomson's voice.
He paused, thinking of the nearly a month of getting along with him, and he finally spoke:
"Staying down there and being dumbfounded is the way to die."
"Thomson, think about it carefully."
"Huh? "
Watching the two people stepping onto the stairs, Thomson stood there in a daze.
He subconsciously glanced at the window that Ronald pointed at before, and the low night seemed to press directly into his heart, making him breathless.
"Wait for me!"
He gritted his teeth.
Under the threat of thick fog outside the mansion, Thomson still mustered up the courage to chase after him.
——Unlike
the first floor, which was illuminated by the fireplace, after walking up the stairs, the surrounding vision suddenly dimmed.
Although I can barely see, I can no longer distinguish the colors of objects clearly.
In the relatively dark corners, even the edges and corners of the room are completely hidden in darkness.
At this time, Ronald heard Thomson's footsteps climbing up the steps behind him, and immediately reminded the middle-aged businessman:
"Shh-"
"Keep your voice down, be safe."
"Got it"
lowered their steps, and the three of them Then he began to cautiously move forward in the corridor on the second floor.
The team was still led by Nessos, with Ronald on guard in the middle.
Finally, Thomson took charge of the rear.
Since the movement on the second floor was very obvious before, their purpose was also obvious.
——First go and see where the noise is coming from.
In less than a minute, the place was reached.
Where the door was originally embedded, there is now only a lonely door frame, and the central door lock is broken directly into the room.
Because of the close distance, a female voice came from the broken-down house:
"Come out, dear?"
"Why are you avoiding me? Could it be that my dinner is not delicious enough!" "
You are the most The child I love is right in front of me~~"
At this time, a younger female voice appeared in a pleading tone:
"Mom, please don't do this!"
"Shut up!"
Boom -
"Ah!"
Another loud burst of sound ring.
This time it was accompanied by the exaggerated sound of objects breaking and the young girl's scream.
The dangerous female voice sounded again:
"Haha, just stay here."
"When I take care of your father, we have plenty of time."
"My dear child."
Mixed with tears, the young voice was still begging:
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"
"Mom, please let me go!"
" I really never thought about going against you!"
Ta-
ta-ta-leisure footsteps sounded, heading towards the door!
In an instant, Nassos and Ronald, who realized that the other party was about to come out, said at the same time:
"Hide, don't be discovered by her!"
"Escape!"
"."
Faced with completely different choices -
they only hesitated for less than a moment. Within seconds, Nessos, who was at the front, instantly realized that Ronald was right.
The guy in the conversation is obviously looking for something. If he chooses to hide nearby, the probability of being discovered is too high.
We can't hide, we must retreat!
In an instant, they all agreed and the three of them immediately stepped back on their toes.
With the destructive power displayed by the opponent, fighting is not a wise choice.
But it's a pity.
Before reaching the stairs, the female voice still rang:
"Who is there!"
"Run -"
"Go and hide outside the house!"
Now there was no time to tiptoe.
With the momentum of sprinting for 100 meters, the three people who reached the second floor ran like a dam and fled back to the living room on the first floor.
But at the very beginning of his escape, Thomson was about to rush into the porch and hide in the garden outside.
Ronald in the middle of the team suddenly stopped.
"Wait!"
"Something is wrong!"
