Advent of the Three Calamities

Chapter 166  The scream [3]

For what reason? Leon wasn\'t sure. However, if he had to guess, then it was to create a distraction. That seemed to be the most plausible answer. He knew that they didn\'t have much time left. Clank—

All of a sudden, the doors of the inner room of the bunker opened and three figures walked out. Leon straightened his back then, and so did the others. "They\'re back." However, upon seeing that Julien wasn\'t behind then, they all were able to guess what had happened. "He\'s being detained." "Yes." Leon\'s eyes squinted. \'Not good.\'

With Julien out, the situation was a little bit harder for him. Turning his head, Leon looked at Aoife. As if she could read his intentions, she nodded his head.

"Yes, I\'ll try to ask them about the tree." She had just taken a single step when all of a sudden she stopped. Her head flicked to the left, and so did everyone else\'s. "Hiiaaaaak—" A scream pierced through. Leon\'s body froze on the spot. His gaze fell on another person. With white eyes, they screamed at the top of their lungs. But if that wasn\'t bad enough. "Hiiaaaaak—" Another scream echoed from another area of the bunker. One that was followed by another. "Hiiaaaaak—" And then another. "Hiiaaaaak—" Before long, several screams reverberated within the confines of the bunker. Witnessing the scene, Leon felt his heart chill. But if that wasn\'t enough, with their white eyes, they all seemed to be looking in the same direction. Leon swallowed his saliva. \'Oh, no.\' The inner area of the bunker. Right where Julien had been brought. Thump! The screams didn\'t last for long. Having learned the lessons from before, the Guild delegates didn\'t allow them to scream for long, knocking them out rather quickly. However, the damage had been done. At this very moment, all gazes were directed towards the inner area. Leon similarly stared in that direction. Drip...! Drip. But his thoughts were broken by a strange dripping sound. Lowering his head, Leon looked at the ground and then wiped his nose. That was when he noticed his finger was stained in blood. \'Blood...?\' All of a sudden, the world started to blur. Turning his head slowly, he felt everyone\'s gazes on him. Evelyn in particular looked concerned. She appeared to be saying something, but he couldn\'t quite hear what she was saying. \'What are you saying? I can\'t hear?\'

Leon was confused. Why was he suddenly like this? Blinking his eyes, his mind started to grow blank. He was starting to lose sight of himself. And then, "Hiiaaaaak—" He too screamed. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
