Did you bury something just now?

Before she could finish asking, Miyuki had already grabbed her shoulder tightly with one hand and covered Haruna's mouth with the other to prevent her from screaming and causing trouble.

"You have to be good, okay?"

Miyuki spoke to Haruna in a threatening tone.

Haruna was so terrified that she didn't know what to do and could only nod.

"Hey, what should we do?"

Nomiya asked Miyuki a question.

"What else can we do? She saw everything!"

The trees swayed and cheered again.

"Should we...kill her...?"

Nonomiya's voice trembled as he spoke.

"We had no choice!"

At that moment, the trees swayed and cheered even more violently. Unaware of this, Nomiya had no choice but to make a firm decision. He grabbed Haruna by the neck, a bead of cold sweat dripping from his forehead. Haruna trembled uncontrollably with fear. Nomiya's grip tightened, and after Haruna let out a soft "hmm," she fainted.

"That girl is really unlucky. You shouldn't have been wandering around like that in the middle of the night!"

As Miyuki spoke, she glanced down at her watch.

The clock hands were pointing to 3 a.m.

'Boom boom boom boom boom.'

Nomiya looked up in shock.

There was a sound. But the sound came from nowhere, as if something was gushing out from underground, and the sound was very deep.

'Boom boom boom boom boom.'

Listening again this time, it sounded like something was making a sound.

"Did you hear that? What's that sound?"

Nomiya asked Miyuki. But no one answered.

"Hey!"

Nomiya hurriedly looked at Miyuki, then was struck by the scene before her.

Speechless with fright.

Miyuki didn't fail to answer his question; rather, she couldn't answer it.

Miyuki remained standing in the same spot, her light cream-colored training uniform gradually turning red from the large amount of blood that had flowed out.

"Waaaaaah!"

Nomiya screamed and collapsed to the ground; Miyuki's head was nowhere to be seen.

It must have been someone who severed her head in an instant. Slowly, Miyuki lost her balance and began to sway from side to side and back to back. The swaying gradually increased until she collapsed to the ground with a thud. As Miyuki fell, that person climbed out of the pit Nomiya had dug. The first thing that caught their eye was three nails as hard as steel, which dug deep into Miyuki's body. Then, with incredible speed, they pulled Miyuki back into the pit.

Crackling sounds.

The sound coming from the pit startled Nomiya so much that she wanted to cover her ears immediately. It must have been the sound of that person cutting Miyuki's body to pieces inside the pit.

Nomiya wanted to escape quickly, but his body was frozen in place, unable to move. A fear he had never seen or experienced before bound him tightly like chains, making him unable to move.

Gurgle Gurgle.....

The sound of swallowing came from the pit, then it fell silent.

After the forest returned to calm, Nonomiya looked into the pit with trembling body. In an instant, someone in the pit flew out again with lightning speed.

The speed was so fast that Nomiya had no time to see his true face, but Nomiya vaguely felt that it seemed to be a person. After the person came out, he stood behind Nomiya. Nomiya felt an unusual chill rising up from behind. He wanted to turn around to look, but his neck would not obey him.

Do you want to see who I am?

I heard voices behind me.

Then, Nomiya felt a human hand touching his neck.

This is... the feel of these hands.

The owner of those hands was someone Nomiya knew all too well. However, Nomiya no longer had the chance to recall who those hands belonged to. But those hands, with immense force, twisted his neck 180 degrees. In the instant before his consciousness completely vanished, Nomiya saw the face of his wife, whom he had just killed…

The trees swayed their branches and leaves incessantly.

They seem to be welcoming the return of the forest's master.

The person possessing Nomiya's wife noticed the girl lying unconscious on the ground beside him. The master of the forest snorted and stretched his sharp claws toward the unconscious girl. Just then, a strange sound was heard, and he moved away from the girl with a pained expression on his face.

His right arm was already burned, and he looked in the direction from which the attack had come.

Nothing at all.

Looking at his right arm, there were a few fine white hairs stuck to the burned area.

"Ah."

The master of the forest relaxed and retracted his claws.

"So you've been watching me all along."

I don't know who he was talking to, and no one answered.

"You want me to release this child, don't you?"

Still, no one answered.

The forest master gently stroked his wound with his left hand, and the wound healed in an instant, leaving no trace of the injury.

"You're always so unpredictable."

Gradually, Nomiya's wife's appearance began to change. Her eyes became narrower and longer, and her black hair turned into a translucent white, eventually reaching her shoulders. In the end, she had transformed into a handsome young man.

The trees continued to cheer.

Once upon a time, there lived a demon in the forest, revered as its master. The demon was subdued by a wandering warrior who passed through the land. Tonight, after hundreds of years, the demon has been resurrected, carrying a bellyful of resentment, and has returned to his forest once more.

On the other side, many sounds came from the forest: a low growl from underground, the sound of hard objects being crushed, and a man's scream.

What's going on with all these sounds?

Left behind in the forest, Yumeko and Kentaro were naturally clueless. Finally, the forest returned to silence. The two of them covered their ears and huddled together until they could hear nothing more before they felt relieved. Then, someone said something.

"...It seems to be over."

They didn't know when it ended, but after the forest returned to silence, they realized that something big must have happened on the stage. Now, the forest was as quiet as when Yumeko and the other two had first arrived.

"Let's go and call someone over."

Kentaro said.

Indeed, they should have called someone over.

In the low-lying area between the trees, which is the stage of the forest, something must have happened that Yumeko and Kentaro and the other children could not do.

"move!"

Kentaro had just stood up when Yumeko hurriedly pulled him back.

"Haruna, she..."

Kentaro lowered his head and said.

"But there's nothing the two of us can do to save her!"

Yumeko also felt that they might not be able to save Haruna, but when Haruna was unwilling to leave the dormitory, Yumeko still called her a "coward". But when the coward Haruna was afraid, she bravely walked onto the stage alone. If this continued, wouldn't she become a real "coward"?

Thinking of this, Yumeko made up her mind and said:

"I want to go to the stage and take a look."

Um! ?

Kentaro looked at Yumeko in disbelief. From Yumeko's eyes, Kentaro was certain that she really wanted to go there, and he was incredulous for a moment.

"Kentaro, go back and call someone!"

"this...."

"I'll go check on the spring vegetables myself."

The scene was exactly the same as when Haruna went to the stage. As Yumeko got up and walked forward, Kentaro patted her on the back.

"I will go with you."

Upon hearing this, Yumeko turned to Kentaro and breathed a sigh of relief.

I thought you were so brave, but it turns out you're scared too.

Kentaro thought this in his heart, but he didn't dare to say it out loud. After passing through the narrow gaps in the bushes, the two of them finally arrived at the stage. Putting aside their fear for the moment, the stage in front of them was no different from usual.

"There's nothing."

After looking around, Mengzi said:

"Yes."
