Chapter 277: Can I Help You?
Chang Xuefeng’s head snapped up just as the house deposited the gargoyle in the moat as per Hattie’s words. Each of the Sins and the hound stood still, every nerve ending on alert as if they were surrounded by a danger that they just couldn’t see.
"Get Hattie inside," grunted Chang Xuefeng, looking over his shoulder at the hellhound. "Make sure she doesn’t come out until we know it’s safe."
Tank nodded his head and went to take Hattie from the Grim Reaper’s arms. However, she refused to move. "What’s going on?" she asked, her head tilted to the side as if confused.
Couldn’t she feel the difference in the very air around them? Usually, she was the first one to tell when something wasn’t right, and yet, now, she was acting like it was nothing.
Something old, ancient was walking the Earth, and whatever, whoever it was, it was bringing death and destruction with them.
"You can’t feel it? Just now? The promise of death?" murmured Luca, his eyes scanning the scenery in front of them. The house was now firmly planted in the Earth realm, but luckily, they could move it if they needed to.
"No," replied Hattie with a shrug. "In fact, what I feel is completely different."
"Different?" muttered Dimitri, a knife in both of his hands. "How?"
"Safe," she answered, her brows furrowing in confusion as she tried to identify the feeling. "Loved, protected, accepted. Everything that I feel when you guys are around... but not the same."
