"This. I don't know."
Anke wiped the non-existent cold sweat on his forehead.
"Oh. It's okay. I just asked you casually. Let's keep walking."
Liu Zheng waved his tentacles.
Seeing that he didn't ask any further questions, Anke also breathed a sigh of relief.
Having experienced Pale Night twice, he is certainly not without speculation.
However, Anke did not allow himself to continue thinking deeply.
In any case, their family can no longer leave Yate, and Bloodhealing Church does not allow anyone to question the sacred Blood Therapy.
Even he himself didn't want to know the cruel truth.
Anke glanced at his arms covertly. Under the linen shirt, there were traces of having received Blood Therapy many times.
Liu Zheng Did you ask casually? Of course he didn't ask casually.
Whether it's Bloodstained Restaurant's purchasing catalog or City Hall's task list, there are things related to blood.
Since Blood Therapy is the technology of Bloodhealing Church, then those things must be related to this Church.
However, these are additional tasks, so there is no need to rush into them before completing the basic procurement tasks.
Liu Zheng could see that the tavern owner in front of him had not completely let down his guard against him.
If you show too much interest in Bloodhealing Church and Blood Therapy, it will be easy to alert them.
The heavy wheels continued to move forward, making a harsh squeaking sound as they rubbed against the ground.
The materials on the cart also swayed due to the uneven ground, making sounds of collisions.
In such a silent night, such a sound is undoubtedly conspicuous and special.
In the brightly lit houses along the way, some figures quietly walked to the windows and peered at them through the holes in the window paper.
The roar of the beast in the distance was also much quieter, replaced by the sound of footsteps approaching gradually.
"Mr. Liu Zheng."
Anke suddenly turned around and called Liu Zheng, with an uneasy expression.
"What's wrong? Boss."
he asked.
"Those beasts seem to have discovered us."
Anke said with a pale face.
He regretted why he had brought so many things.
He also pushed a cart in such a showy manner, what is the difference between this and seeking death?
Probably on this crazy night, everyone has gone crazy.
"Did you hear that too?"
Liu Zheng is a little surprised.
With his perception, he could only hear vaguely. How could the tavern owner be so virtuous?
"I, I don't know. I just heard it."
Anke whispered.
He also knew that something was wrong with him, and the footsteps of those beasts were like stepping directly on his heart.
His brain was afraid, but his blood was thirsty.
"Oh, if you heard it, just hear it. But compared to those, I think you should listen to some more elegant sounds."
Liu Zheng nodded.
"Ah? What's the sound?"
Anke asked doubtfully.
"My song."
He said seriously.
". Mr. Liu Zheng, are you kidding?"
Anke said speechlessly.
"Of course not. Don't think I'm just a Restaurant buyer now. I was a member of the choir when I was in college."
Liu Zheng said proudly.
No, you are so proud.
You have already gone to college, how did you end up working at Restaurant?
Anke was complaining crazily in his heart, but he didn't dare to express it with his mouth.
You know, Yate has only one university, and that is Kalkaluns Academy.
The people inside are the elite among the elite, and they will become the upper class of society after they come out.
"Nina, what song do you like to listen to?"
Liu Zheng looked at his little daughter.
"Nina likes cute songs, songs as cute as Mr. Cat."
Nina said with fluttering long eyelashes.
"It's Lady Cat."
Anke corrected stubbornly.
"Nia, what song do you like to listen to?"
Liu Zheng has not forgotten his eldest daughter either.
"Nia likes to listen to bad songs, like those bad beast songs."
Nia saw that he still remembered her and replied in surprise.
"It's a cute and bad song. This is a bit difficult."
Liu Zheng raised a tentacle and scratched his head.
"Yes, I thought of it. Ahem."
He cleared his throat and sang loudly.
"The sun is shining in the sky, and the flowers are smiling at me."
"The little bird said, early morning early, why are you carrying the explosive bag?"
Liu Zheng's high-pitched singing echoed in the street, and Anke walking in front had a sore face.
Indeed, he no longer heard those footsteps, and he no longer felt fear or longing.
He just feels ashamed now.
If those neighbors knew that they relied on such a lunatic for protection, the Anke family's reputation would be gone.
Under Anke's desperate gaze, more and more figures appeared near the window.
Those figures were like executioners, executing him with their eyes.
"Anke boss used to be a decent person, how come he got together with such a person?"
Anke seemed to hear them whispering behind the window.
"Boss, what do you think of my singing?"
Liu Zheng suddenly patted his shoulder from behind, and then asked expectantly.
"It's very good, the sound of nature. If you want to hold a concert at Yate after Pale Night ends, I will definitely bring the whole family to listen."
Anke replied with a sincere smile.
"Dad, you are peeing. Ouch."
The youngest daughter Nina was gagged by her mother Marianne.
"You have vision, boss. I am very optimistic about you. Be careful!"
Liu Zheng suddenly sounded a warning.
But his movements were faster than his voice.
The four tentacles waved an afterimage in the air and pushed away Anke's family of four.
In their eyes, it was Liu Zheng's thick hands that waved twice in a row at incredible speed.
The firm yet gentle force pushed the Anke family about four or five meters away, which was enough distance for them to avoid attacks falling from the sky.
A corpse fell from the building and hit the ground hard, with blood and flesh flying everywhere.
If Liu Zheng had not taken action just now, then he would have hit one of the Anke family members.
"Lukal."
Anke recognized the Dead's identity and screamed in surprise.
This is also his acquaintance. Because he is a bachelor, Lukal comes to the pub even more frequently than Malza before.
By this time, the poor man was almost unrecognizable.
His body was already badly damaged before it was smashed down, and there were signs of being bitten and devoured by wild beasts everywhere.
The heavy blow from the fall made his already fragile body even worse, with all the bones in his body broken and protruding.
"Ugh!"
Marianne almost vomited it out on the spot, but she still did not forget to cover the eyes of her two daughters.
But judging from their trembling bodies, they were not immune to this wave of impact.
Anke acted quite strong. After waking up from the shock, he immediately pulled out his personal weapon, an exquisite small axe.
Judging from the rope wrapped around the handle, this ax is quite old.
But there was no trace of rust on the axe, and it even looked very sharp.
It can be seen that he has been taking good care of this ax.
Because forty years ago, Anke relied on this ax to escape from Old Yate and ascend to heaven.
"Come on, beasts. Let me see how you are different from forty years ago."
He roared, the blood in his body burning again.
Anke raised his head, and saw a huge beast in tattered clothes lying on the eaves, staring at him.
