Quenched long order

Chapter 27 Calling
"Is it the reason for the refreshing soup, or is it just a coincidence?"

Sauer was very surprised. Now he felt as if his soul was out of his body, and he could only move with the figure below him. He could observe the surroundings, but he couldn’t do anything.

With doubts in his heart, he slowly followed the figure below into the quiet path.

The moonlight was whirling, and the evening wind blowing from time to time made the trees on both sides rustle. Just when Sauer was puzzled, he found that his vision suddenly dropped, and he was quickly hitting the figure below. The speed was so fast that he didn't even have time to react. He didn't open his eyes slowly until the surroundings were dark.

Ahead is the sentry post leading to the mining area. Strangely, the guards on shift at the sentry post are missing for some reason.

Considering that the surrounding situation was unknown, he tried to turn around and return to the house. However, the moment he turned his head, his body lost control again, and he moved forward by himself with firm steps, as if he had a reason to move forward.

The lack of control over his body gradually made him feel terrified. This feeling of powerlessness was like a noose, firmly strangling his neck, almost making him unable to breathe.

The uncontrollable body walked past the guard post and walked towards the mine. At this moment, the surroundings were extremely quiet. It seemed that even the wind did not dare to approach this ominous area. Every wave of the body, every step of the foot, became heavier and heavier, as if the limbs were tied to stones, and more and more.

By the time he stopped, he had already arrived at the gathering place of the miners. This was the place where he was waiting to receive the psychic lamp. At this moment, he was naturally the only one present.

Just as he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, his body moved again on its own, and walked straight into the mine until it stopped at the entrance of the mine.

This was the first time he observed the entrance of the mine in the dark. The meager moonlight hit the ground, forming a winding curve at the entrance of the mine, and he could not move forward at all. It seemed that this curve was the dividing line between life and death. Stepping into it would usher in a terrible death.

Don't go in, don't go in... can't go in now, no protection whatsoever...

He cried out in his mind, praying that his body would hear it.

Suddenly, as if the prayer had taken effect, he felt that he could control his body, so he quickly took a few steps back, then turned around and ran wildly. No matter what, he didn't want to approach the mine for the time being, especially in this weird situation.

"Saul..."

"Saul..."

A murmur, as if from hell, came from behind, two murmurs from different people, but with the same peace and... happiness in their voices.

Saul ignored it and continued to run forward. However, after more than ten seconds, he was surprised to find that he was still in place, without moving a bit.

He swallowed, and used his ability to perceive the rear, but found that there was no one behind, and there was no entity, so he slowly turned his head, only to see Andrew and Sean standing in the mine cave, one on the left and one on the right, standing within the dividing line between life and death formed by the moonlight. Their eyes were dull and pale, and then they slowly extended their right hands to him.

"come……"

"come……"

Accompanied by murmurs, the two waved towards Saul with slow movements. While waving, the corners of their mouths slowly raised and their heads bent slightly, like puppets.

Saul didn't dare to answer, he hurriedly ran away from the mine, but just as he took a step, he found that his feet had actually stepped from a place with moonlight to a place without moonlight. He raised his head and looked around, but saw the polished and solid wall of the cave, and the exit of the mine.

Before he could speak, a pair of pale white hands appeared from behind, covering his eyes, mouth and nose, and dragging him into the depths of the mine.

Saul sat up suddenly, his whole body was wet with sweat, he gasped heavily, recalling the nightmare just now, then he stretched out his hands to look, then looked up into the room, and he was relieved after confirming that there was no problem.

"Why are you having nightmares again?"

He pushed back the blanket and stood up.

"Really...is it just a nightmare?"

The scene just now still flashed in his mind, and he had an illusion that the mine on Stewart Island might not let anyone who entered it go.

Disaster.

Sauer thought of the words mentioned by the mystic. There is no doubt that mines are a kind of disaster.

He walked to the door, opened the door, there was a creaking sound, especially loud in the quiet night, he walked out, outside the door, the moonlight was bright, illuminating the front of the house, combined with the sea breeze blowing from time to time, it seemed to blow away the nightmare just now.

Suddenly, he squinted his eyes and looked at the path not far away, which was the road leading to the trading market. A figure was slowly walking, and he seemed to be cursing.

Today's nightmare and yesterday's nightmare came to his mind together. He took a deep breath, retreated into the room, and gently closed the door. Then, he stood behind the door with his ear against the door panel, waiting silently. To be on the safe side, he also used the ability of air perception to detect the outside of the door.

After a while, the sound of footsteps became louder and louder.

There was a response from the air perception, and the shadow walking from the path was indeed a person, not something strange.

"Tsk, why did I bet big? I must have lost my mind at the time. If I had bet small, I would have paid back my capital now and could still make some money."

There was a creaking sound, followed by the sound of the wooden door being slammed shut.

Saul went back to bed, thoughtful.

"Reggis' voice, I remember Kerry said that he has stopped gambling? How much did he lose this time?"

Although he said so, there was no surprise in his tone, and he felt it as a matter of course.

"However, it's meaningless to mention this kind of thing to him tomorrow. With his personality, he will definitely use the excuse that he only tried it for the ransom money. After all, he spent a lot of savings to save Garland."

He lay on the bed, no longer thinking about it, and fell asleep again.

This time, there was no more nightmares. When I opened my eyes again, the fine sunlight from the morning sun penetrated through the gaps, illuminating the room and driving away the drowsiness.

Although he didn't go to the mine today, Sauer didn't stay in bed. After getting up and washing up, he was going to visit Stewart Island alone to get a better understanding of the land under his feet.

After expressing his intention to Garland and the others, although Garland and Kerry both wanted to hang out together, Sauer chose to refuse. This time, he learned that he might use the newly obtained effect, and it would be inconvenient to use it if someone followed him.

After he was ready, he walked towards the trading market, but this time his goal was not the trading market, but the garrison of the island corps at the rear of the trading market.
