Devils and demons are different. Although the two feel similar to people, in fact they are completely different existences. Of course, for ordinary people, no matter which one of the two they see, they are completely different.

The disaster at the end of the world. Looking at Mayor Band who lost more than ten years of life in an instant, everyone here felt a cold air rising from their backs. Cheese knew how dangerous the devil was, but if he wanted to encounter it,

These guys are actually very difficult. There are ten demons wandering in this world, so he feels that there must be a connection between the demons that appear at this point in time and the magical plague in the earldom.

"Can you tell me in detail how you became like this?" the mage asked.

Although he was dubious about Cheese's words, based on his own experience, Mayor Bender vaguely felt that the possibility of encountering the devil did exist. So he did not hide anything and told the whole story.

According to the mayor's description, this incident can be traced back to a year ago. At first, people in the town began to complain to the city hall, saying that a suspicious person had been talking to the children in the town recently.

During their conversations with their families, the children mentioned a masked man wearing a gray robe many times. This weird guy often talked to the children who were alone, sometimes asking them questions, and sometimes asking them about their troubles.

The children who have talked with this strange masked man will have some changes in their words and deeds, and even worse, their temperament will change drastically. The children's anomalies have made the residents of the town feel worried.

, the children's parents have searched for the so-called "Mr. Smile" in the children's mouth more than once, but the strange thing is that no matter how they search, they can't find any trace of this person. It seems that his existence is only for the children in the town.

It was a collective joke. But the impact of the incident did not stop. Even if the parents banned their children from going out, those children still said that they were visited by "Mr. Smile". The strange thing is that some children's eyes were closed when they were visited.

The parents were in the living room or room next door, and they could ensure that no one entered their house. Panic caused these parents to turn to the city hall, hoping that the mayor would come forward to find this so-called "Mr. Smile" and evict him

Get out of town.

Mayor Band has governed the town for nearly ten years. He is clearly aware that this incident has never happened before in the history of Sweetwater Town, so based on his experience, he dispatched almost all the guards to search Sweetwater Town.

They checked the list of people who had recently entered and exited, and lurked in the grassland by the lake where children often went, but found nothing. The mayor, like everyone else in Sweetwater Town, fell into confusion.

Cheese nodded slightly when he heard this and said.

"Devils are invisible to ordinary people. They are like ghosts or ghosts. Only children who are more sensitive to nature and have a pure heart can see them directly. If you want to show up in front of adults, you break this

Certain regulations in the world will cost them dearly."

The mayor agreed with the Master's words, because the next development of the matter seemed to confirm the "price" mentioned by Cheese. Things began to happen to the children. At first, a child was found drowned in the well. Although the people in the town were concerned about this,

I felt sad, but I just thought it was an unintentional slip during play. But then, another child was strangled in mid-air by the vines entangled in the tree. It seemed that he accidentally slipped and fell while climbing the tree, and his head fell.

The two accidents made the atmosphere in Sweetwater Town even heavier. Parents banned their children from going out. They locked their children in the house, thinking that this would ensure their safety. But it was terrifying.

The third child died from the knife that was not put away, and the fourth child died from an accidental fire in the kitchen. However, his parents did not know why the child went to the kitchen. Panic was like an invisible hand.

, strangled around the neck of every child in Sweetwater Town. Just when everyone thought that the fifth child would die, everything stopped. The children no longer claimed that they saw "Mr. Smile", and

No children were injured again, and it seemed that everything was over. In fact, this is all the residents of Sweetwater Town know so far. They can only attribute these to four accidents that happened to happen. Only Mayor Bender knows those children

The death of the child was not what it seemed. Because on the third day after the death of the fourth child, the "Mr. Smile" approached the mayor.

"That night I was sorting out documents in the study, and when I looked up, I saw that guy." Mayor Band said.

"He was wearing a gray robe and a smiley mask on his face. I think that's why the kids called him Mr. Smile."

"Mr. Smile" started talking to the mayor. His voice was pleasant and his words were polite, just like a well-educated nobleman. First, he expressed his condolences for the children who were killed and said that there was nothing that could be done about it.

Because he had to meet the mayor, the death of the children was a price that had to be paid, and this was to save more people's lives.

"That's nonsense." Elsa frowned and shouted softly. In her opinion, sacrificing the lives of those children was an extremely evil act, no matter how legitimate the reason was. Others also agreed with her opinion.

The mayor continued to narrate. Although he was extremely angry at the masked man's behavior like the boss's wife now, what the other person said next made him temporarily forget about it.

"You mean, he predicted the occurrence of this plague?" Cheese summarized the mayor's words.

"No, to be precise, he predicted the plague and everything that happened in the entire earldom in the week after that day." Mayor Band said.

"Mr. Smile" claimed that he came with good intentions to save the people of Sweetwater Town from the plague. Of course, as the mayor at that time, he naturally did not believe the nonsense of this masked man, but "Mr. Smile"

After making these ridiculous predictions, they turned into a plume of black smoke and disappeared. The mayor had nothing to do with him. In the next few days, the masked man's predictions gradually came true, to the extent that one of the count's decrees was implemented.

Even the birth of a certain wild dog in Sweetwater Town was exactly the same, but this did not make the mayor believe his lies, and he could only assume that the masked man planned all of this.

Then, when the first week passed, "Mr. Smile" appeared in front of the mayor again. Like last time, he predicted the plague and the events of the next week. This time, he declared that he still had a lot to be busy with.
