Author: I really want to eat meat 597

"Witch..."

Susanna muttered the term in a low voice, feeling a little resistant in her heart.

Although their family is the only non-believer in the village, this term is taboo in Norson Village. If outsiders find out that these two girls are talking about this kind of topic in private, they will definitely be sent to the church directly and be raped by the priest.

He was tried collectively with the villagers.

"What's wrong? Your family doesn't believe in religion, right? It shouldn't matter, right?"

In a bad situation where there were only two of them, Iselin became more courageous. She looked at the hesitant Susanna with some dissatisfaction and persuaded: "You can only hear these stories from me, there is no one outside.

Dare you say this."

"Well..." Susanna thought hard for a while, then breathed a brief sigh of relief and said with a smile, "Okay, tell me then! I'm also curious about what you want to say!"

It doesn't matter if we chat in private anyway, and she is indeed very interested in such stories.

But just as Susanna was answering this, she suddenly felt a strange sense of trance, as if she didn't know what she was doing just now, and she didn't know where she was.

Susanna was slightly startled. This strange feeling for no reason made her quite confused, and she subconsciously looked around.

The afternoon sunlight was shining into the room through the open wooden window. As her eyes swept over the brown wooden walls and familiar interior furnishings, she was sure that this was her familiar home and familiar bedroom, and at this moment, she was talking to

Chatting with friends I have known since childhood...

"What's the matter, Susan?" Seeing that Susanna looked a little dazed, Iselin stretched out her hand and waved it in front of her face.

She was worried that the words she said caused Susanna to behave strangely, so she whispered worriedly: "How about I change the story..."

Susanna suddenly came back to her senses, looked at her friend in front of her, and smiled sheepishly: "It's okay, I was just distracted... Just keep talking, I'm ready!"

Seeing that the other party returned to normal, Iselin stopped worrying and showed that mysterious smile again.

She carefully closed the wooden window. In the small room where the light became a little dim, the two girls sat casually on the wooden floor. Then Iselin put the book she had been protecting in her arms on the empty space next to her.

On the ground, he began to tell the other party the story he had prepared for a long time.

It was an era of war, and there was a world-weary witch.

She was powerful and hated humans. She happened to find a secluded and vast forest, and settled in the deepest part.

Under her influence, the magic concentration in the nearby area became extremely high, which made the forest soaked in magic for a long time become extremely active.

Weeds that are constantly dancing and jumping, thick thorns that can easily tie up adults, blood-thirsty monsters with red eyes, fat red-spotted flowers that devour living people, and large weeping trees that capture all living creatures nearby... No matter

Whether it is an ordinary person or a well-trained soldier, as long as he dares to step into this forest, he will never come out alive.

Some people saw broken corpses that were thrown to the edge of the forest or hung directly on trees. Others saw fragmented organs and blood stains on the ground. Even the nearby land gradually turned dark red.

, as if deliberately telling the world:

This forest is forbidden to humans.

One time, a relatively complete body was thrown out of the forest, and it was immediately recognized by those who were looking for the missing person. It was the son of a certain family.

But just when his family members rushed to the forest after receiving the notice and wanted to collect the body of the deceased, the nearby trees suddenly moved, and countless vines protruded from the leaves and the depths of the forest at the same time, pulling even these few

Those who had not yet entered the forest were quickly dragged in.

Accompanied by several tragic wails and painful screams, the thin rustling sounds coming from the forest gradually stopped. The son lying on the edge of the forest, plus these people who wanted to collect his body, the family

From now on there will be no more survivors.

Such horrific and inhumane acts of arrogance quickly spread the reputation of this forest. People call it this:

Witch's Forest.

Such despicable behavior naturally aroused strong dissatisfaction among nearby residents. However, they were helpless with this living forest. They could only harbor feelings of anger and fear towards it, and warned those around them not to go to that forest.

But terror always breeds curiosity. As this forest gained notoriety, rumors of unknown origin gradually spread nearby:

"The witch who lives in the forest is an extremely beautiful woman. As long as you can come to her alive, she will fall in love with you and spend the rest of your life with you. She will even make you immortal like her."

This rumor sounds funny and funny. But who knows that there is really a witch living in the forest? Or is it all just a mistake?

There is no way to know the truth. But no matter what, this half-true and half-false bizarre rumor soon spread all over the nearby villages and taverns.

The first person to be attracted by it and put it into practice was the eldest son of a nearby noble family.

At that time, this young man was only 18 years old, which was the age when he was young and energetic. After hearing the guest vividly tell this rumor at the wine table, he could not suppress his curiosity, so he brought a few with him as a reason to go out for fun.

The follower who could fight came to the forest after asking for directions from nearby residents.

Not surprisingly, this group of people lost contact with each other and never returned to their relatives.

The villager who was asked for directions became the last witness. He walked to the noble's castle and reported the matter to him, emphasizing that he had fulfilled his duty of warning and hoped that the noble could give him a reward.

However, at the moment when the nobleman seemed to have lost his beloved son, this behavior was tantamount to seeking death.

He asked the man on the spot why he wanted to guide his son, and then without any explanation, he killed the greedy and stupid villager with his sword, and then sent his troops to go to the Witch's Forest to find the missing young master.

This is an army composed of fifty well-trained soldiers. They came on horseback in a mighty manner, and some of them were filled with hatred and wanted to avenge their relatives and friends who disappeared in the forest.

But surprisingly, they entered the forest very smoothly.

There was no legendary man-eating tree, no terrifying monsters, and they didn't even see any corpses or bloodstains. They just rode horses, moving vigilantly and slowly through the complex terrain of the forest, until they saw the patch of land.

The large lake in the center of the forest, and the wooden house floating on the water in the very center.

There are no bridges or roads near the wooden house. It just sits so quietly on the calm lake. This strange phenomenon is enough to show that the people who live here are not human beings.

However, these soldiers and their leader did not retreat because of this. If they returned without success, they would be severely punished by the noble master, and even a large sum of salary would be deducted, causing them and their families to suffer from hunger and cold.

So the group of people stopped nearby and discussed how to get to the wooden house on the water.

But at this moment, the sound of water came from the lake.

Starting from the wooden house, a wooden plank road slowly cut across the lake. It extended straight in the direction where they were, all the way to the solid soil by the lake, and then stayed there motionless, as if waiting.

Visitors are normal.

The soldiers were not happy that the road problem was solved in this strange way. However, under the orders of the leader, they reluctantly stepped onto the plank road and walked cautiously towards the wooden house.

The leader was a responsible man. He entered the house first and told the soldiers behind him to be careful.

The indoor furnishings are extremely simple, with only a fireplace by the wall, wooden tables and chairs, a small bed and two windows. Logically speaking, this single-story cabin should not be able to accommodate so many people at the same time, so the team leader

Jean only asked ten soldiers to follow him into the house, while the rest waited outside.

But for some reason, the soldiers behind them suddenly began to disobey the command. They entered the wooden house one by one, so that the first ten people who came in could only be squeezed into the innermost place, and they shouted outwards in confusion and anger.

call:

"Don't come in again, what are you doing!" "There is no room for so many people here! Get out now!"

No one listened to them.

The soldiers were still walking in, but for some reason, their strength was amazing. Even if ten of them pushed outwards together, they could only be pushed back to the corner by the soldiers who kept walking in.

And the strangest thing is that those who came in from the back all had the same dull expression, their eyes were dull and lifeless, and there was no trace of life.

Under this strange development, even the experienced team leader was helpless. He could only stand on the wooden table, chairs and beds with the few normal-looking soldiers, counting the number of people in the room, hoping that this

The "farce" can end as soon as possible.

Soon, the number of people in the room reached 50. But the strange thing is that even with so many fully armed soldiers, the room still maintained the same crowded feeling as before, and there was not much change.

There is even some margin...

It's like this wooden house has grown bigger without realizing it.

A series of anomalies set off alarm bells in the leader's heart, but he could only look helplessly at the thick crowd below.

Obviously, what they should consider now is not to find someone, but how to get out of the predicament - they can't step on these people's heads and walk out of the house, right?

But at this moment, a soldier standing on the bed made a trembling voice with a horrified expression:

"Why... why is there someone who looks like me there?"

Within the scope of his field of vision, the soldier could clearly see that the man standing not far away from him, looking back at him, had the same face and attire as himself.

Following his words, panic quickly spread among the few remaining normal people. Soon, they were all horrified to discover that not only the soldier, but also they saw someone who looked like them There are even more than one of the same people.

And these people all turned to look at them without exception, and some even twisted their necks in a full circle, staring directly at these people who were related to themselves with weird postures and empty pupils that humans could not do. People with the same face, and maintaining this weird posture, slowly squeezed out of the crowd and approached them.

This sight is beyond the scope of human understanding.

Soon the first soldier pulled out his sword and slashed with all his strength at the inhuman creature that had come to him. The sharp sword blade smoothly cut through the body that was exactly the same as his, but it did not appear. Imagine a scene filled with blood——

What flowed out from the wound was a squirming black liquid.

They flowed/crawled down the body, as if they had locked onto a target, and slowly crawled towards the soldier who took action.

The man screamed and backed away, but had no way to retreat; he wanted to hide behind his companion, but the black liquid bypassed his companion and rushed straight towards him.

The scream turned into a howl full of pain. The remaining people watched in horror as the soldier swung his body wildly, but the liquid climbed up his body tenaciously and penetrated into the weak points of his armor. , then there were bursts of sizzling sounds, and white smoke began to come out of the body.

The team leader was the first to react. Under the leader's strong order, the soldiers standing on the bed did not care about their fear, and forced the man who was struggling wildly and howling in pain to hold him down, and took off his armor. Only then could I see the scene under the armor——

The black liquid had already corroded his inner shirt. Through the tattered fabrics, they saw that there was black liquid everywhere on this man, and these liquids were rapidly corroding his body, and he had already eaten several terrible things. A big human hole.
