168. The cat and the girl

The girl's gasps were full of panic.

She hadn't been so shocked for a long time.

Countless souls were roaring at her, venting their unwillingness and resentment, and their souls screamed through the sky because of the painful screams they had been imprisoned for for countless years.

These resentful souls have long lost their memories and forgotten their own names. The only thing that will never dissipate in their hearts is the boundless hatred.

They hate Veronica, they hate Prince Gawain, they hate the whole world, they hate Kelly, and they hate all beautiful and ordinary things.

Kelly still couldn't stand completely, and her spirit became fragile under the constant impact of the wailing sounds.

"Impossible, impossible." Sweat dripped from her forehead down her cheeks and fell to the ground, dissolving between the soil and gravel.

How could there be so many souls who could not be freed? How many people died in this castle?

Impossible! She checked all the information about this castle. The castle was built 247 years ago. It was bought by Prince Gawain before Veronica arrived and spent a lot of money to renovate it for several years.

The previous name of this castle was not Sadovrak, but named after the old marquis Brod.

Did Prince Gawain also see the huge black fog surrounding the castle when he changed its name? That's why he chose to call it the Tower of Mist.

No, Kelly shook her head hard:

After the establishment of this castle, there has never been a war or massacre around it. How could there be so many resentful spirits lingering here?

Kelly pressed her temples with her fingers.

Maybe these souls are not surrounding the castle, but they are surrounding someone who is also in the castle, is it Veronica?

But she had also seen Veronica behind the scenes. At that time, there was no black mist composed of resentful souls around her.

Kelly took out the telescope. She didn't dare to enter the behind-the-scenes again. Although her behind-the-scenes attitude was highly adaptable to the dangers behind the scenes, too strong a force impact could still tear her soul apart and prevent her from leaving the behind-the-scenes in time.

, died directly there.

She had thought a long time ago that she might die on an ordinary day. When she thought she was safely entering the behind-the-scenes scene, because she was constantly approaching and merging with the postures behind the scenes, the harm from the behind-the-scenes became more and more serious.

can influence her.

The world outside the curtain is countless times more dangerous than reality.

You know, the reality is already a terrible snowstorm.

Kelly took out the telescope from her arms. Her eyesight was unusually good, and with the telescope, she could spot many tiny details at this location.

The light changes through the refraction of the concave and convex mirrors, and even patterns can be seen on the wall tiles on the castle.

Of course, even if ordinary people use a telescope, they cannot see so clearly at this distance.

At this time, she once again confirmed that this tower did not have a single window, or any tiny holes that might have been overlooked during the initial observation. Except for the door and a few small square windows on the uppermost floor, the other floors were completely sealed.

Because she is not an architecture major, she cannot imagine how the other party maintains internal air circulation. Is there a strange machine that connects each floor, and then absorbs and releases airflow through the window-like exhaust vents on the top floor?

She couldn't understand what the designers of the castle were thinking, but either the internal environment of the castle was very harsh, or they used some advanced means to maintain air circulation.

Wait, she seems to have noticed something.

There seemed to be a shadow on the outside of the back door wall, but she couldn't fully observe what the shadow was.

Kelly packed her things and got ready to leave.

It was already evening. If she didn't take a detour earlier, they might have disappeared deep into the castle by the time she could see the specific shape of the shadow.

Kelly still maintained a faster speed on the hillside. If she could sprint with all her strength like on the flat ground, it might not take long for her to move to a position with a good view, but on this sloping slope, it would be impossible for her.

Can run.

Kelly walked across the hillside with a cane in hand, and time passed quickly.

A howl broke the silence.

This is not a voice coming from behind the scenes.

The soft footsteps trampled on the stones, and there was no body shape that could be detected by human ears.

A bobcat, or lynx, emerged from behind a tree trunk.

This cat-like shape usually has a body length of more than one meter at most, but this one is extraordinary. Its powerful and slender body is nearly two meters long, and can even catch up with some small cheetahs.

The lynx lowered its body and observed Kelly with curious eyes.

Obviously it is not afraid of humans. It has probably seen humans many times, so it knows that these seemingly tall creatures are just appearances. Of course, it has certainly never seen the tragic death of its kind by guns.

.

The big cat danced its tail and slowly approached Kelly. The girl's slender figure made it completely put down its guard. It could see that Kelly was a vulnerable group in her race, while the lynx itself was in its own group.

dominance in.

Kelly took two steps back, raised the crutch she used to walk through the woods, and waved it forward a few times as a warning.

Kelly knew how powerful such a beast was. An ordinary person like her might be in a life-threatening situation if she was bitten or scratched by a claw.

There is an insurmountable gap between humans and the beasts that hunt other animals for a living.

She has a revolver in her backpack for emergencies, but if she shoots here, her search work today will definitely be interrupted, and the castle guards are likely to step up patrols after hearing the gunfire, so that she can

It is also difficult to launch an investigation.

The big cat does not feel hungry, it is just doing a very common thing, that is, enjoying the fear of the weak, then taking away their lives the moment they turn around and running away, leaving their bodies in place.

This has become one of the interesting ways for this big cat to spend time. When it was young, it did not waste food as much as it does now, but as it grew stronger and showed no signs of aging, it began to get tired of the boring life.

The big cat looked at Kelly with a playful look that was close to that of a human, and found that Kelly did not turn around and run away, but slowly backed away while holding the stick.

Not only was it a little discouraged, because it meant that it would be impossible for it to chase the prey casually.

For serious prey, it will definitely be a qualified hunter.

It's going to go all out.

The big cat jumped one after another on the uneven mountain ground, and then suddenly pounced on Kelly's throat.

The sudden intrusion of the huge feline creature made Kelly instantly nervous. She swung her crutch upwards and threw it towards the bobcat's delicate belly.

However, the big cat's reaction speed far exceeds the attack speed of normal humans. It quickly retracted its legs to its abdomen, and then popped out instantly, stepping directly on the metal crutch. Then it jumped hard with the help of the metal crutch, and jumped at a faster speed.

Rushing towards Kelly's face.

The sharp claws were getting closer and closer to Kelly's face. The big cat gave up its decision to tear out the throat with its teeth and turned to using its claws to destroy the prey's resistance.

The unique scent of the beast rushed into Kelly's nostrils when the big cat jumped up. The big cat's cunning eyes, the fine hairs on its body, and the whiskers on its face were all clearly visible.

Kelly has used all her strength to pump the crutch, but the huge gap between humans and beasts can no longer be bridged. Next, she will be slapped to the ground with a claw, and then her throat will be bitten, and she will become a cold corpse.

Corpse.

Is it all over?

No, a very familiar voice sounded.

It seemed that in some non-existent world, two arms belonging to her also held the metal rod.

The four hands tightly grasped the crutch and let it rush towards the big cat's most vulnerable position at a speed beyond life and death.

The sharp claws lightly scratched Kelly's cheek, leaving two shallow blood stains.

The big cat failed to defeat Kelly, because its huge body, which went against natural development, lay limply on the ground. Blood continued to gush from its throat, slowly seeping into the ground and becoming nutrients for the earth.

Kelly sat down on the ground, took out the revolver from her bag and held it tightly, gasping for air.

The girl touched her face, and a slight sting was transmitted to the cerebral cortex. The blood marks did exist, but they were short and shallow, and there was a high probability that they would not become permanent scars.

"What the hell..." The girl's voice still contained the feeling of happiness that she had survived the disaster, "What the hell is this?"
