"You should give me an explanation Mark"
Henric grabbed the clergyman's shoulder and became emotional. But then, he was shocked to find that the old acquaintance in front of him actually shook his hand away.
That power is not ordinary people
"I have no explanation to give you. The spread of lycanthropy has worsened, control has become more difficult, and more difficult patients have appeared. That's it. "
Mark immediately retracted his hand after shaking off Henrik, retracted into his robe, and said calmly.
At this time, the place where they were was gradually filled with supplies shipped from the church's hunter workshop.
The Healing Church’s notice on the hunting night was only passed on to the hunters who were going to work, and the public was not informed on a large scale.
But the people living around the supply point are neither blind nor stupid. When they see so many things being transported and debugged in a hurry, a nervous tension still spreads throughout the area. open.
The hunters and church personnel responsible for transporting supplies all looked a little tired.
They had already done similar work during the day yesterday, and during the day today, they also dealt with the corpses and fires on the street, and they have not finished dealing with them yet.
Now, they have to do it again.
Amidst the chaotic flow of people and the anxious atmosphere, the confrontation between Henrik and Mark continued.
"That's it" Henryk's tone contained suppressed anger.
“Do you remember how the two of us escaped in Old Yanan? At that time, the Healing Church closed the road from Old Yanan to the church town. We both slipped through through the crack in the door. They locked all those who were not infected and those who were infected in a sea of fire."
"Have you forgotten the scene at that time? Have you forgotten that human fat is heated to a liquid state, and then flows to the feet and accumulates? "The scene?"
Mark checked another list and responded calmly.
"That was the church's attempt to lock down serious lycanthropy. There was nothing we could do at the time. For the sake of more people's lives, we had to make a choice."
"I also worked hard to let I believe that it is a choice that must be made, otherwise I will not be able to sleep peacefully for decades."
Henryk said coldly, but then his tone softened.
"You should at least tell me the truth this time. We are old friends, aren't we? How far has lycanthropy developed now? People think that hunters are on the front line of hunting. Hunters Knows the most. But you and I both know that only the church responsible for integrating the data knows the full picture today."
"You should at least let me know what level I should do on this hunting night. "Mark is prepared for the sake of so many years of friendship."
The old hunter's sincerity seems to have shaken the clergy. They have indeed known each other for decades and have crossed the sea of fire together. .
So MaKe pursed his lips a few times, then turned around and started walking again, arranging the distribution of supplies.
The old hunter understood it and hurriedly followed the footsteps to get closer, only listening but not speaking. Listen attentively to the words that are like the fluttering of mosquito wings.
The chaotic footsteps of the people around him caused a lot of trouble to him, but he finally got the general idea.
"Red-eyed beasts are particularly afraid of fire. Before the first three hunting nights, it was discovered that seventeen hunters encountered red-eyed beasts last night, and ten survived."
"This The signs are indeed very similar to those in Old Yanan, so it is difficult to say whether the hunting night will be controlled urgently today."
"You must make the most comprehensive preparations, hunting night "Tonight must be bad after being pushed so far"
The word "bad" couldn't be finished in Mark's mouth
"Dang"
A distant sound The bells emanated from the cathedral in the church town, echoed back and forth in the intricate Victorian buildings of Yanan, and finally reached the ears of every Yanan person
Mark and Henrik walking on the road coincidentally said the same thing He opened his mouth wide and looked blankly in the direction of the bell.
“It’s ahead of schedule again”
It’s not even night yet
A bell signifying the official start of the hunting night, after just surviving One hunting night caused riots in the ears of the people.
The huge mountain city fell into a strange silence for an instant.
People are still wondering whether they heard it wrong, or whether they were forced to hallucinate due to the high-pressure environment on the hunting night.
But this dead silence itself has already given people the answer.
Everyone heard it
What followed was a deathly silence, followed by shouts and cries like a mountain roaring and a tsunami, steel windows closing in the impact, and thick wooden doors Closed with a loud noise
After a burst of excitement, the scattered residents walking on the street immediately let go of everything they were holding in their hands and arms, and moved towards them as if they were being chased by wild beasts. Their residence ran.
And those who felt they were too far away from their residence pleadingly patted the door on the roadside and made the humblest plea, just asking to be taken in for one night.
A Yannan man who was sticking his head out and closing the steel window bars saw Mark downstairs.
The mental state that was close to madness made him no longer have respect and humility for the clergy of the Healing Church.
He cursed loudly.
"Shit liars, do you still have better blood? Did you kill my family downstairs yesterday? Are you coming to kill me today?"
Henryk Neither Mark nor Mark paid attention to the man who was on the verge of collapse.
The old hunter carefully observed his old friend's expression and found that he was also surprised that the alarm was raised in advance.
This alarm was not even told to the Healing Church’s own people
Mark, who had always been rational and indifferent, suddenly looked ugly at this time.
"Go to Church Town, Henryk, hurry up"
Mark put the pile of supply lists in his arms and dragged Henryk up a roadside ladder. .
The link between Church Town and Yanan is a huge stone bridge. On the opposite side of the stone bridge is a large, exquisite and solid iron gate. Behind the iron gate is the central Church Town of Yanan.
Mark’s call immediately reminded Henrik of his bad memories.
That long night, filled with fire, charred beasts, and charred humans.
His old face almost immediately froze in shock.
"Mark, you mean"
They will also lock people outside the church town like the night when Old Yharnam was destroyed
Mark did not speak , but the movement of climbing the ladder became more urgent.
When the last ray of daylight was about to disappear in the sky, Henrik and Mark finally saw the bridge leading to the church town.
There were many people and four-wheel carriages on the bridge, all waiting to take refuge inside the church town.
This is the benefit of the people who live nearby. It is often easier to survive the hunting night in the church town than outside.
The two old men looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief.
It seems that Church Town is still letting people in, which is much better than they expected.
"Put the knife away."
Mark tugged on Henrik's cuff. He knew very well what this old acquaintance was planning to do with the knife just now.
If he bumped into someone who was about to close the door, he would probably chop it down.
Henric retracted his saw knife after being persuaded, and Mark led him through the crowded crowd and squeezed towards the iron gate.
And just when the two of them were almost a few steps away from the heavy iron door, and even Mark could already say hello to his colleagues, in the direction of the church town, the roar of the big clock Ring again
"Dang"
Henryk's face turned dull. He didn't know why the bell rang twice, so he turned to look at Mark, who was a clergyman. But he found that his old acquaintance was also pale at this time.
There was a creaking sound from the metal door. The civilians, hunters who were maintaining order, and the clergy who were crowding forward looked at the door that was gradually closing in horror.
Henryk was the first to react, and he rushed forward to push open the door.
But it was useless. Even if several hunters got on board, the door was still closed under the power of the machine.
The bloody sunset finally disappeared behind the gate, and for a moment, the entire stone bridge fell into deathly silence.
