Chapter 173

Have you ever heard of the black Banshee?

The fire in the brazier in the tavern swayed under the night wind. The orange light shone on the wrinkled face of the old tramp. With his cloudy eyes, a strange and terrible smell came to his face.

The tramps around listened attentively, and some couldn't help swallowing a mouthful of saliva.

Surrounded by the crowd, the old tramp said slowly:

"it's said that on even days every week, in the middle of this garbage mountain, after 27 midnight, there will be a beautiful black Banshee wandering on the humble path. It will tempt every man who passes there, dig out the man's heart after a happy night, and finally dig out the whole body Eat it, there's nothing left

What the old man told was the legend spread in the last five years, and this strange legend was no doubt very appetizing to the vagrants. They began to express their opinions one after another.

"I heard that just a few days ago, will, who wanted to be a soldier every day, disappeared at night. Maybe he was just

"Don't pull, will was cut to death by the rotten tooth boss. People in the East know it very well. It has nothing to do with the black Banshee"!

"Do you think the black banshee is more beautiful than those noble ladies in the city?"?

"What's the matter with you? You're not a pawn."

Seeing that the tramps are discussing the black banshees who don't know whether they are true or not, Jack, who loves to boast, can't bear it. You know, when he always boasted, he was not surrounded by a group of people and asked when he was ignored, so he planned to do something to recover his "reputation".

"Hey, you all come here, I want to announce a big event"!

Jack stood up in the cold and said aloud, but the other tramps talked about it with interest and no one paid any attention to him.

Seeing this result, Jack's face turned red with anger, and he quickly continued:

"I tell you, I - the great jack is going to find the black Banshee today, and then catch her back to let everyone have a good time. I mean it, this time it's not bragging"!

When he said this, Jack himself was startled, and he felt some regret at that time. But at this time, other tramps had already seen it. Those who watched the scene, regardless of Jack's embarrassment, immediately began to talk about it.

"Yo, Jack, I'm so ambitious that I don't want to be a lady in the city anymore"?

"Also catch the black banshee, black Banshee see you this virtue must be a paw to scratch you.".

"Silly jack, seriously, I don't want you to catch any black banshees. Today, if you dare to go to the alley where old kasha lives in the eastern garbage mountain and get back one of the dead crows that old kasha hung on the door, I'll give you a silver coin"!

One of the tramps who didn't deal with Jack was even more inflamed. When other tramps saw this scene, they also added fuel to the fire, shouting that Jack should not refuse, or they would be bragging cowards.

Maybe there was a little more ale in the water of the tavern today, or maybe the crowd's noise suddenly had the effect of ORC drums. Jack, who was ridiculed by the crowd, didn't sit back angrily as usual. Instead, he suddenly cried out impulsively:

"OK, I'll get a dead bird back. If I meet a black banshee, I'll catch it for you, At that time, I hope that some rascal will not rely on Laozi's silver coin "!

With that, Jack jumps off the stone platform and stumbles out of the pub.

Seeing this scene, the tramps could not help looking at each other. They were just idle and boring. Who would have thought that Jack really went out to look for a black Banshee.

"I said, isn't it good for us to do this? I heard that many people have disappeared recently..."

"Come on, those missing people must have starved to death. Who has nothing to do with us tramps?"

"Yes, and even if there is a black banshee, maybe it's still a good fortune. I've never tasted the taste of a woman in my life. It's not worth living with a monster before I died.".

Said this topic, all the tramps are silent, they silently staring at Jack in the cold wind farther and farther, one by one do not know what to think.

No matter what the vagabond in the tavern thinks, Jack is in a terrible mood. After the cold wind blows, he wakes up from his impulse. Now Jack's body and heart are shaking. He doesn't want to go to any dark alley. Even if the black banshee is just a ghost story, there are often some terrible criminals in those alleys Hiding.

But Jack is not willing to run home so disheartened. He still remembers the silver coin promised by his opponent. It's a silver coin. How many tramps have never seen a silver coin in their life.

And in the group of tramps, only gambling is not allowed. As long as Jack gets the dead crow from the door of old cassa, he will get a beautiful silver coin.

"Well, it's just going to a small alley. I'll drag a dead crow and run. I was the" fast legged Jack "of the year. Even if there was a black banshee, I couldn't catch up with him.".Unconsciously, the distance of the tavern is far away, and Jack's heart is fierce, but the surrounding night and cold never fade. The dead night is like a big hand holding all the creatures firmly in his heart. At this time, Jack's view is that the surrounding garbage mountain has become a ferocious beast, ready to rush up and tear himself to pieces.

Fear is growing fast in Jack's heart. Unconsciously, he even forgets the black banshee, the gambling agreement and the pile of cowhide he blew down. Now Jack only feels that he is being chased by terrible beasts, and he can't help running.

Jack has no ability to think. He doesn't seem to have a sense of the surrounding environment any more. He doesn't even notice that he runs into the alley where all the vagrants are afraid to avoid. Of course, he can't see the strange scene happening in the night.

I don't know when, a kind of black goblin with a grinning face has appeared beside Jack. It holds Jack's neck and refuses to let go. This little monster with dark skin is still spitting out wisps of black mist from his cracked mouth.

The black fog seemed to twist and bend from Jack's mouth and nose, but Jack was not aware of the black fog he was breathing. He was still running to the depth of the alley, even though he was scratched by the garbage around him.

Finally, Jack half asleep and half awake ran to the end of the alley, and then stood motionless by the wall. Beside him stood two other "wooden people" with dull expression, who were also motionless.

The black goblin grinned and patted the heads of three "prey". Obviously, for this black goblin, this night is a good harvest night. Because they are only allowed to hunt single "prey", it's a good harvest to hunt three hungry people like tonight.

But just as the black goblin is about to jump off Jack's shoulder and bring the new "experimental body" back to the base as usual, the change suddenly happens.
