Darkness poured into the office from outside the room. The oil lamp, which was put on the workbench, seemed to be the only island in the endless darkness. In principle, cheese and hill are used to the dark, and they can control their emotions in a dark environment. However, when facing the corridor outside the house, fear still hugged them gently from behind.


    The mage unconsciously retreated, and the demon corpse on the ground nearly tripped him. When he touched the edge of the workbench in a hurry, Hill had already come to one side of the table from the corridor. Cheese''s pupils dilate unconsciously, and his body trembles slightly. At this time, he has to make sure that he is within the range of the light to keep standing. If the lights go out, I''m afraid the mage will curl up in the dark.


    Fear is the most unique existence among many emotions. You know, whether it''s anger, pain, chagrin, or happiness, these emotions can''t make people lose the ability to act and think even in extreme situations. But fear can. When an invisible hand touches your throat, no one can move even a finger. Even if you are the wisest person in the world, fear can make you lose your ability to think like an idiot.


    In the eyes of cheese at this time, the darkness outside the light is not just as simple as there is no light. In places where the naked eye can''t see, there''s something thick like oil, something unknowable, unpredictable, and indestructible. These things peep out of the light, looking at the two people under the light, with unadorned malice. Evil, the word suddenly appears in cheese''s mind, this word is used to describe those things are so appropriate.


    When he ordered his stiff neck muscles to turn his head behind him, cheese saw that hill had covered his neck with his hands, kneeling on the edge of the table like a drowning man, making a terrible sound from his throat. The mage reached out to help his companion up, but when he did so, he saw a large amount of red liquid oozing from under the female doctor''s mask. The smell of the liquid was even more pungent than the blood of the devil.


    "Save I... " Hill''s voice became the last straw that killed the camel. When the female doctor was lying on the ground, raising her head and frantically grasping her mask to ask the mage for help, cheese''s spirit finally collapsed. The mage didn''t take care of his companions. At this moment, he seemed to have forgotten what was outside the light. He ran out of the range of the light and began to run in the direction of the exit in his impression. The lights behind them dwindle at a very fast rate, and soon they disappear.


    Cheese ran. He ran with his head down. Since he was born, the mage has never run with all his strength, but the instinct in his brain tells him not to stop running, because when he stops, death will come. While the mage was running in the dark, the runes on his body reappeared and began to tremble violently. They seemed to be broken by the tremor at any time.


    "Hoo Whoa... " Finally, cheese still stopped, his legs because of excessive running and paralyzed, the whole person knelt down on the ground, surrounded by endless shadows, covered. In the dark, even the most powerful magic can''t help those who are trapped in it. What''s more, whether cheese can still remember that he is a caster is worth thinking about.


    A hand, a hand that could not see any details, gently touched the face of cheese. The mage''s low head was lifted by this hand. Somehow, the hand stretched out from the dark did not make cheese feel uncomfortable. On the contrary, there was a familiar feeling from this hand. The head of cheese was lifted up, but in front of him, it was just a darkness that could not be seen through. Even if there was something, it must be hidden in the darkness.


    "What a pity." A soft voice came out of the darkness. The language used in the voice was never heard by the mage, but somehow he found that he could understand the meaning of the other side. At the same time, cheese also found that his clothes disappeared, a huge number of runes in his body in order, emitting a magic light. The hand passed over the mage as if trying to erase the rune from him.


    "I was yelled around like a chess piece by those guys, and this kind of thing was painted on his body." After finding himself unable to erase the rune from the cheese, the voice said. Cheese felt as if he had touched something on his forehead, but he didn''t know what it was, but instinct told him that it might be someone else''s forehead.


    The mage relaxed, his body and mind relaxed. Now the darkness was not terrible for him, and even made cheese feel at ease, as if a baby was in her mother''s womb. Something in the dark hugged him, and the mage felt the other side''s body was as soft as velvet. At this time, from the depths of darkness came the sound of disharmony with the peace, the sound of rain.


    "Can''t you just let us be alone again?" The voice holding cheese said, revealing a little unhappy.


    "No Another voice, cold, sad.


    "You are always so unpleasant."“……” There is no answer, only the sound of rain gradually approaching.


    "I know the child has your things, but that doesn''t mean he''s yours, you know?"


    "It''s you who want to keep him as your own."


    “……” This time, the voice with cheese fell silent.


    "Let him go. He doesn''t belong here."


    "Who said, are you blind! He belongs here The voice of holding cheese seemed to be irritated, and the voice became high.


    "Maybe one day he will be one of us. But now, he doesn''t belong here. Let him go. " The voice in the rain said, compared with another voice, this voice always seems to be a tone.


    "You or others, you just take him as a chess piece! A disposable tool! Why do you want me to let him go back! Can''t you see how painful the child is? Confined in this sad body, bound by those ridiculous ideas, pursuing the wrong truth... "


    "That''s enough." The voice in the rain roughly interrupted each other''s words, the majestic rain covered the body of cheese. In the heavy rain, the mage stood up in a daze.


    "Let him choose."


    Standing up like a walking corpse without thought, cheese walked aimlessly in the dark. Fear, no longer in control of him, but now the mage can not clearly think. He knew he was going back, but he didn''t know where to go, or for what. Memories, like running water, flowed through his mind, even the forgotten details now reappeared in cheese''s mind.


    "I Back to... " Cheese murmured, and he didn''t know what he was talking about, but his feet began to become stable. Now the mage is no longer hobbling, and some strength is supporting him to move forward slowly.


    "Go back." When the mage uttered the word completely, the darkness disappeared and everything surrounding him disappeared. Cheese looked blankly at the corridor outside the door. The light was illuminated by the lens. Although it was dim, it was not impossible to see things.


    "What''s the matter with you?" Asked hill, standing behind the cheese. In her opinion, the mage would not move after interrupting the demonic call.


    Cheese shakes his head, and his memory lingers on opening the door. But he always felt as if he had forgotten something. A moment later, the mage gave up the recollection.


    "It''s OK. Let''s go. Be careful. The thing that was closed just now may still be there. " He walked out of the office.
