Wow—! Wow—! Wow—!

It must have been unwilling; the blackbird kept howling, flapping its wings, trying to fly but unable to.

"It's so noisy."

Gabriel returned to her original spot and leaned against the wall, hoping to take another nap, but the birds were making so much noise that she couldn't doze off at all.

"Xiao Jia, we're back!"

From the sea cliffs came familiar, enthusiastic voices, louder than birdsong.

Gabriel looked up and saw the silly child above her. She dejectedly raised her right hand slightly and waved, lazily saying, "Welcome home."

Great, they're back, she can go to sleep now.

So she crawled into the shack, lay down on the leaf bed, and closed her eyes contentedly.

The campsite was cooler during the day than the sea caves. The huts provided shade and a breeze, making it very comfortable to sleep in.

Why is there a crow?

When Shinonome, Shima Rin, and Kagamihara Nadeshiko arrived at the camp, the first thing they saw was the black bird tied to the tinderbox.

"Is this a crow?"

Kagamihara Nadeshiko stared wide-eyed at the black bird. Although it was pitch black, the more she looked at it, the less it resembled a crow.

"It's not a crow."

Shima Rin said definitively.

There are many crows in Japan, and they are often seen on the streets, but she had never seen a crow that looked like this before.

With its broad, flat head and somewhat round, plump body, it looks more like a pigeon.

"Why are you sleeping?"

Dongyun didn't care whether the bird was a crow or not; the comments would reveal the answer, and if there was no answer, then the bird was a chick.

"Because I want to sleep," Gabriel said lazily with a hint of anger. "Help me out of that stinky bird's mouth, it's making so much noise."

"OK."

Dongyun agreed.

He knew that Gabriel had worked hard guarding the meat and watching the fire since last night, but they were also very tired. So after silencing the chicks, he, Nadeshiko, and Shima Rin also rested.

Let's rest for the rest of the day. The meat's all dried, and there's not much to do. If I had to pick something to do, it would be making bone knives and needles. But there's no rush. They have stone knives, machetes, and leafy greens; we can do those things after we move.

Chapter 65 The Night of the Blood Moon

Night falls.

Tonight, Kagamihara Nadeshiko will be keeping vigil.

However, since we have a day off tomorrow, everyone is planning to stay up late to keep Nadeshiko company.

Although only one person can sleep in the shack, they can move the palm leaf bed from the sea cave over there. With a campfire and a shelter to protect it from the wind, they don't have to worry too much about it getting cold at night.

The only thing to watch out for is that there will be a lot of clouds tonight, and it might rain.

Shinonome, Gabriel, Shima Rin, and Kagamihara Nadeshiko sat around the campfire. After dinner, they played a game of "drawing turtles" with playing cards.

Nadeshiko often loses at this game.

She's not very good at managing her facial expressions. When playing this game, you can tell if Nadeshiko has a joker by looking at her expression, and you can also tell whether they drew a joker or a non-joker by looking at her facial expressions when drawing cards.

When there are no jokers, Nadeshiko is always smiling. When there are jokers, the smile on Nadeshiko's face disappears. When she draws someone else's joker, her face falls. When someone else draws the joker, she can't help but smile again.

This child isn't suited for these kinds of games; he can't hide his feelings, and his thoughts are written all over his face.

Before I knew it, the night was getting darker.

After losing all her mahjong, Kagamihara Nadeshiko stopped playing and switched to playing cards with Shinonome, Gabriel, and Shima Rin, a three-player poker game, a Japanese card game. This time, Shima Rin taught him and Gabriel how to play three-player poker; next time, he'll teach Shima Rin and Gabriel how to play Dou Dizhu (a popular Chinese card game).

While playing cards, Shima Rin couldn't help but look at the angel halo above Gabriel's head.

Although she knew Gabriel was an angel from the very first day she arrived, she still found it amazing. It turned out that angels really did exist in the world, and they were no different from ordinary girls.

"Xiao Jia, your angel halo is glowing red! Has it mutated?"

With his head down, Dongyun stared at the cards Gabriel played, his mind elsewhere as he pondered what card he should play.

"Are you an idiot? How could my angel halo emit red light? This is clearly moonlight, okay?"

Gabriel said irritably.

"Oh, moonlight."

Dongyun didn't realize that something was wrong.

"Yes, moonlight."

Gabriel frowned; she suddenly felt very uncomfortable.

Suddenly, they realized something and quickly looked up.

The sight that appeared in the sky left Shinonome and Gabriel speechless with terror.

A red moon, a huge red moon hanging alone in the sky. What made them even more uneasy was that this red moon, which was larger than the silver moon and the blue moon, was writhing, and under its crimson light, it seemed as if something was about to crawl out from it.

"Hide!"

Gabriel sensed intense malice from the heavens.

The moment she saw the red moon, she realized that what was in the sky was not the moon.

"Ok?"

Shima Rin looked up at the sky. Unlike Shinonome and Gabriel, she was only shocked when she saw the blood moon.

The beauty of the blood moon made her stand up involuntarily, taking one step, then two, towards the direction of the moon.

"Shima Rin?"

Suddenly, accompanied by a male voice, two different hands grabbed Shima Rin's hands.

Shima Rin snapped out of her daze, turned around blankly, and looked at the boy and girl who had grabbed her with a confused expression.

"There's something wrong with the moon. Call Nadeshiko, let's go back to the cave quickly."

Shinonome pulled Shima Rin back from walking towards the edge of the cliff.

After saying that, seeing that Gabriel did not answer, he realized something and immediately looked at Gabriel.

For some reason, Gabriel remained motionless, her face calm as she looked up at the sky.

Subconsciously, Shinonome followed Gabriel's gaze to the sky. Just as he realized he shouldn't have done that and tried to look down, a scarlet blood moon entered his eyes.

"boom!"

He thought he heard a sound of something shattering.

Suddenly, his vision was filled with colorful text.

【Barrage body protection! 】

The Twenty-Four-Character Mantra for Protection

[Requesting support from the live chat!]

My cabinets have already been moved, I'm not looking at them anymore.

【Xiaoyun, move around!】

In an instant, upon seeing the comments on the screen, Dongyun snapped back to reality.

My right eye hurts so much.

He covered his right eye and felt liquid flowing in it.

For some reason, his left eye, which still allows him to see, has some of the bullet comments turned into gibberish, while the rest are still normal bullet comments, frantically urging him to move quickly, run, hide, and drag Gabriel and Shima Rin back.

Yes, Gabriel and Rin Shima!

Dongyun's gradually stalled thinking has once again become clear.

Seeing Shima Rin walking towards the cliff edge again, he grabbed Shima Rin's arm and then pulled on Gabriel's wrist, who was not moving.

"Wake up, all of you!"

Whether it was from the pain of being pulled or from the loud noise, Gabriel and Shima Rin snapped out of their daze.

"Dongyun, your eyes!"
