Chapter 676: Hide and Seek

The sky was actually raining blood, Huang Yi looked up at everything outside the window in a daze.

"Swoosh!" After a while, it rained heavily outside the window. Blood-red raindrops poured down, covering the entire town. The ground and wall tiles were covered with blood-red rainwater. Rivers of blood flowed on the ground. Looking up, the gloomy sky is no longer black, but endless blood red.

The people in the town seemed to be used to the rain of blood, and they didn't show any sense of surprise. They didn't even hide, they still wandered in the streets, letting the blood wash over them.

They quickly turned into blood men one by one, all drenched in blood, drops of blood running down their hair, dripping on their faces and clothes, like cuts and bruises, dripping with blood. But they still walked slowly on the street quietly and peacefully.

Bloody and peaceful, at this moment, blended in this small town in a very weird way.

Huang Yi's eyes swept over a person. A normal small town should not be like this. Something must have happened to these people. For others, it is estimated that it will take a lot of effort to investigate. But Huang Yi is different. He has the eye of time and can see what these people have experienced before.

Huang Yi stared casually at a pedestrian passing by outside the window, and used the eye of time towards him to observe what he had experienced before.

The Eye of Time will improve with the improvement of Huang Yi's strength, and now this skill can already see a thing from a long, long time ago. In Huang Yi's eyes, the passerby outside the window was like a movie being played backwards. It showed what he had experienced before.

Gradually, the picture from an hour ago appeared. The picture from two hours ago appeared... Huang Yi hasn't seen anything worthwhile, which seems very normal.

However, when he saw this scene before 5 o'clock this morning, he was shocked!

Before five o'clock, before dawn, this pedestrian had fangs and was covered in carrion, like a ghoul. roam the streets. His level at that time was also extremely terrifying, reaching level 194!

But after dawn, his corpse's appearance changed suddenly, turning into a normal person. The level has also become a mere level 94, a full hundred levels less.

Huang Yi was terrified, resisted the shock in his heart, and continued to read. This passerby is in a ghoul state at night. Very violent, almost a monster, he will leave the town, go to the wild area to catch some cattle and sheep, and drink their blood raw.

And time went back to five o'clock yesterday evening,

This is back to normal. He changed back to a normal person, and he didn't seem to remember the fact that he turned into a ghoul at night, and his IQ dropped a lot, just like a walking dead.

So it looks like this is normal during the day. But at night, it will become a 194-level super-strong ghoul.

Huang Yi thought about it and changed to another passerby. He also used the Eye of Time towards the other party to see the previous experience of the other party.

The same scene happened again! This one was also a ghoul before five o'clock, and its level was 193, which was about the same as the passer-by before.

Next, Huang Yi checked a group of passers-by with the eye of time, and all of them found the same process. Every passer-by at night from 5 pm to 5 am is a ghoul, and all of them are above level 190! And once it's daytime, it will return to its original appearance, and it doesn't remember that it will become a ghoul at night.

Huang Yi's back felt a little chilled. He didn't expect such a big secret to be hidden behind this quiet and peaceful town. If he didn't pay attention and continued to stay like this, once night came, a crowd of more than 190 people would be surrounded. The ghouls, that kind of scene he dared not imagine.

At this time, Huang Yi felt a little bit like sitting on pins and needles sitting in this tavern, and the originally quiet townspeople around him seemed to have turned into ghouls, living under the same roof as him. Thinking of the true faces of these people, Huang Yi couldn't help but want to leave the town immediately.

Huang Yi looked at the time. It was already 4:30 pm in the secret realm, and there was only half an hour left before night fell.

"Boss, I'll buy a jug of mead!" At this moment, a woman suddenly walked in from the door of the tavern, and said to the boss in a slightly hasty tone.

At this time, this woman was also soaked by blood-red raindrops, and her hair was dripping with blood. Drops of blood ran down her hair, dripped on her cheeks, and dripped from her cheeks. It's like my head is bleeding.

But on that blood-stained face, her eyes slightly exuded a sense of worry and urgency, turning her head to die from time to time, looking at everyone around vigilantly.

Looking at this woman, Huang Yi felt something different. Everyone in this small town is calm, even listless. But this woman has a rush and flustered mood, which is more like a humane person, which is different from others.

Huang Yi couldn't help showing her the eyes of time to observe her experience.

This woman lives in a shabby house in the east of the city, and she also turns into a ghoul at night, hunting outside the city, like the rest. But every day when the day comes, she will cry, as if she is in great pain!

This abnormal scene immediately aroused Huang Yi's interest. This woman will cry and be in pain, explaining that she seems to know that she will become a ghoul at night, and feels pain for this change in herself!

This is a special case, other people don't remember what happened at night, only she remembers! This is a major breakthrough!

Soon, the owner of the tavern brought a jug of mead to the woman. The woman didn't even give the money, and just left with the bottle of mead, and the boss didn't get angry at all, still standing there dumbly.

Seeing this, Huang Yi rolled his eyes, got up and left the tavern directly, and went outside the door without even paying the money. The owner and waiter of the tavern didn't stop him, as if it was free.

At this moment, blood was still pouring down outside, blood was everywhere on the cobblestone road, every passerby had already turned into a blood man, walking on it at the original speed, not in a hurry. Only the woman was running hard. She was different from all the people around her, as if she was running fast in a slow-motion world, forming a sharp contrast.

Standing under the eaves outside the tavern, Huang Yi stretched out his hand to touch the rain of blood pouring down from the sky that day. The rain of blood hit his hand, and it was cool, but there was nothing unusual about it.

Only then did he rush out of the tavern and came to the street, drenched in blood like all the passers-by. He quickened his pace, quickly passed by the pedestrians around him, and followed the woman from a distance. The figures of the two moving forward quickly formed a different kind of scenery in this small town.

Gradually, Huang Yi followed the woman and ran to a dilapidated wooden house in the east of the city. The surface of this wooden house has been stained red by blood, the windows are broken, and it basically has no ability to shelter from wind and rain.

The woman quickly opened the door and walked in, and Huang Yi also quietly came out of the window of the wooden house and peeked inside.

Inside the wooden house, the woman was standing in front of a little boy, and handed the mead into his hand from a distance, but resisted not to approach him.

The little boy happily took the mead, with an innocent look in his big eyes, he immediately opened the bottle cap and took a sip, as if he was starving.

Looking at the pure eyes of the little boy, Huang Yi suddenly felt as if he had found a pure lotus in the mud. The people in this town are all ghouls with dull eyes, but this little boy's eyes are pure and flawless.

"Honey, we're going to play hide and seek again later!" At this time, the woman said softly to the little boy, with tears in her eyes, full of endless tenderness. She stretched out her hand as if she wanted to touch the little boy, but she retracted her hand halfway, keeping a distance from the little boy, "After the game of hide-and-seek begins, you have to hide in the cellar all the time, no matter what is outside." Don’t come out when you make any noise, even if your mother tells you, don’t come out, okay? As long as you hide for one night, mother will tell you another story.”

"Well! Mom, you must tell me a story!" The little boy nodded obediently, and then looked at the woman with wide eyes.

Then, holding the bottle of mead in his arms, he turned around and went to a corner of the wooden house, lifted a wooden board on the ground, revealing a dark cellar, and was about to climb down.

"Baby!" At this moment, a line of tears flowed from the woman's eyes, and she said, "Baby, if one day, you wait until dawn and your mother doesn't come back, then you can follow the tunnel in the cellar and leave here." OK?"

"What about you, Mom?" The little boy turned around and asked, his little face slightly puzzled.

The woman smiled choked with sobs, and said, "As long as you remember your mother, then your mother will always be with you. Well, you can hide it quickly, my mother is looking for it!"

"Okay, Mom!" The little boy immediately crawled down the cellar and disappeared into the wooden house.

The woman walked over quickly, covered the cellar cover, and then moved a cabinet, which was heavily pressed on top of the cover. After finishing all this, she glanced at the entrance of the cellar with nostalgia, left the wooden house immediately, and locked the door.

Then, she ran to the distance with all her might, racing against time to stay away from here. Under the pouring rain of blood, among all the slow-moving crowd, her running figure is so special, so unique.

Huang Yi looked at the time. It was only the last ten minutes before the night fell at five o'clock in the afternoon.
