Chapter 25 Strange Trees~)

As a family that believes in the goddess of night, moon flowers are planted in the back garden of the Western French, so he is not unfamiliar with this smell, but after searching all over the hut, he did not see a single moon flower.

Helibel discovered other problems.

"Look at this place." The girl pointed to a log table, one of its legs shaking.

On the table, there were two cups, and there were three muffins in a small plate next to it. One of the muffins only took a bite and placed casually on the edge of the plate.

Xifa narrowed his eyes slightly: "Two cups indicate that a guest has come. The muffin has not been finished, but it has not been put away, which means that Arya's mother left with the guest in a hurry."

"I have checked the house, there are no traces of fighting, and the windows have not been destroyed. Based on the current situation, Arya's mother was not forcibly robbed, but she took the initiative and voluntarily."

"Now the question is, who will this guest be?"

Helibel raised his hair and put them in his cap, and the girl walked towards the wall: "Her neighbors should know."

The two of them crawled through the blurred blue door again and came to the aisle. Helibel, who was full of movement, knocked on the neighbor's door in a blink of an eye.

The door opened, and there was a woman with yellow complexion inside. Her hands were covered with water droplets, the corners of her skirt were wet, and she looked like she was washing clothes.

Helibel cleared his throat and said, "Hello, do you know Mrs. Gernis?"

Gernis is Arya's mother.

The woman with yellow complexion responded coldly: "I don't know each other."

Just slammed the door.

Helibel said angrily: "Why is she like this!"

Xifa smiled and said, "Let me do it, communication requires skills."

He took out his wallet, took out a banknote with a denomination of 1 pound, and knocked on the door again.

The woman opened the door impatiently: "I'm working, please don't bother me, otherwise I can only call the police!"

Xifa stuffed the banknote into her hand and pressed her hat: "It won't delay you much time, ma'am."

After looking at the money in hand, the woman was stunned and said, "What do you want to know?"

Just as Xifa was about to speak, he was pushed away by Helibel. The girl pointed to the room next to her and said, "Has any guests from Mrs. Gernis's house been here?"

The woman poked her head out of the door and looked in the direction the girl pointed: "Genis has almost no friends. She is always alone at home, with only her daughter. She will visit her for a day or two every month."

"But some time ago, someone did come to visit her. It was an old woman, and I don't know what her name was. But I know that she often gives speeches in the Memorial Square."

The old woman giving a speech in the memorial square? The gloomy face of Mrs. Paris suddenly appeared in her mind. The woman had visited Arya's mother?

"Let's go and have a look at the Memorial Square."

In the Memorial Square, I saw the old woman named Paris again. She was still giving a speech today, and there were people around her, mostly workers and homeless people.

I don’t know what Paris was saying, but the onlookers occasionally joined in and burst into applause, causing the passing people to cast strange gazes.

Xifa took off his hat, took off his coat, and handed the things and canes to Helibel. This way, he would not look too eye-catching when standing with the workers.

"You're waiting here."

He came to the crowd alone, lowered his head and squeezed in, and appeared behind Paris.

The nose twitched, and Xifa smelled the moon flower again. It came from Paris and the smell was strong.

This old lady has a problem.

Seeing that Paris seemed to have not finished her speech for a moment, Cialis pulled her sister to the corner of the square and told her about her discovery.

After saying that, Xifa suggested: "I think I should go to her house to have a look."

Helibel also agreed quite well: "Then what are we waiting for? Let's go."

Xifa coughed dryly: "But I don't know where she lives."

The girl was also stunned. Obviously she had never considered this issue, but she quickly had an idea: "We can ask Old Cook, he knows everything about this town!"

When the time on the pocket watch was 11:23, the Xifa brother and sister were located in front of a house. It surrounded a yard with a circle of low gravel walls, and was planted with moon flowers.

The house where the old lady Paris lived alone was just behind the flowers. It was a dilapidated and gloomy house. Behind the house is a tall summer oak, and the canopy that covers the sky and covers the sun covers the house and lets it hide in the tree.

Under the shade.

Xifa closed the pocket watch and said, "If we move faster, we should be able to go back to town for lunch."

Helibel rolled his eyes: "I can go in by myself."

"I won't leave you here alone." As my brother, Xifa still has this consciousness. He walked along the wall and behind the house.

Helibel spread his hands behind him and said, "Aren't we going in?"

"No one will sneak into someone else's house from the front, my dear sister." Sifa said as he walked, "Strange, didn't Old Cook say that Paris has many cats and dogs, where did these things go?"

Helibel followed behind and said, "Maybe they are sleeping."

After they arrived at the house, they stood in the shade of the huge summer oak tree, Xifa took a few steps to run, easily jumped over the wall, and then helped her sister come over.

At this time, the wind blew, causing the leaves to rustle. Suddenly something fell from the tree and fell at the feet of the brother and sister with a snap.

Helibel suddenly covered his mouth with his hands, and exclaimed, imprisoning him in his palm.

Xifa also gasped. It was a corpse, the cat's corpse. The cat's corpse was abnormally swollen, and dark brown branches emerged from its belly and anus.

Xifa went around the other side of the cat's corpse and found a branch that stretched out from the cat's mouth, looking like the cat was stabbed through by a branch.

And, the branches still ‘grow’ in the corpse?

"SiFa, look above." Helibel raised his head and looked up at the Xia oak tree, with a pale face.

Xifa looked at the canopy and saw the thick branches growing randomly. He saw the corpses of cats and dogs strung on them. His keen vision allowed him to see clearly that young branches and tender leaves grew on these corpses.

.

When the wind blows, the branches sway, and the corpses of the cats and dogs will be gently swayed in the wind like the "fruit" produced by the summer oak.

Now, he knew where the cats and dogs that Paris had raised went.

"How could she live in this place? She is not right, she is not right!" Helibel exclaimed softly.

Xifa curled his smile and turned around and said seriously: "Belle, stay here. If any accident happens, don't worry about me and go back to town for help."

Helibel nodded slightly, and she knew very well what she should do and what she should not do.

Xifa took out the snake scale pistol from the underarm gun holster and pointed the muzzle to the ground to prevent misfire. He walked under the canopy of the strange summer oak tree and came to the back of Paris's house.
