"That's it? In this case, it doesn't seem to be a problem to come in directly in the morning, right?" Xing Liuli said to Aaron in a relaxed manner.
"Maybe they were scared away by me. It doesn't matter, we will encounter them sooner or later anyway, so they can only escape for a while." Aaron said in a casual tone.
"Then where are the gifts given to Bawe by Bawe's parents? Have you found them? Are you sure they weren't taken away and thrown away? They must have been a few years ago. It's hard to say whether they are still there." Xing Liuli changed the subject.
"Yes, over here." Aaron turned his head and looked in one direction and walked towards it.
After leading the two puppets to a door, Aaron's hand touched the doorknob.
"It's locked." Xing Liuli said after looking at the door where Aaron applied force gently but there was no movement.
As soon as he finished speaking, Aaron's hand suddenly exerted force.
Bang!
The door exploded.
Xing Liuli waved her hand to smooth away the raised dust, and then followed Aron into the messy grocery room with a little disdain.
Aaron glanced at the interior of the grocery room, raised his hand slightly, and all the obstructing stolen goods and heavy objects were suspended and moved around, leaving only a rectangular box in the center of the room.
Xing Liuli stepped forward and picked up the box from the ground.
"Although it's a bit unrecognizable, it was originally a pretty exquisite gift box." Xing Liuli looked at the front and back of the box.
"Take it apart and take a look." Aaron said.
Hearing this, Xing Liuli also took all the tattered wrapping paper privately without any worries.
After taking off the dusty coat, a delicate small box revealed its true appearance. Years of random placement and dust accumulation left some mottled marks on it, but it added a sense of simplicity to the small box.
Xing Liuli adjusted her breathing subconsciously, and then opened the lid of the box.
Tick tock—tick tock—
A small and exquisite pocket watch, the dark gold shell does not feel cold to the touch. The gold wire outside adds a touch of nobility to it, and it seems to be of extraordinary value.
Opening the cover of the pocket watch, Xing Liuli's breathing couldn't help but stop.
On the cover of the pocket watch, there is a black and white photo.
It was a photo of a man and woman who looked a little tired from work, and a little boy with a bright smile on his face.
After a long silence, she closed her pocket watch.
There is something else in the box, a piece of yellowed paper.
Aaron picked up the paper, opened it, and read:
To Bavi.
I'm sorry that we can't be with you during these busy days, dear. Your mother and I both want to spend some time with you, but we also carry with us the expectations of the folks and we can't live up to them. Believe us, during the winter holidays
We will definitely come back to accompany you that day.
We don’t want you to see the following content. But now that you’ve seen it, this paragraph doesn’t make any sense.
After reading the following, please remember not to announce this matter to anyone in this town, and then send this letter to the Grand Inquisition in Slovnia.
If someone else sees this letter, unfortunately we can only have a short conversation through the letter.
Please ensure that no one else in the town is around when you read this letter, and please do not put your trust in other people in this town easily.
This small town is being led by the mayor, Stoffes Asayelfil, to believe in an unknown and mysterious evil existence.
He can use a special and unknown pale monster, which has the ability to sneak into the human body and replace it. The only good thing is that this monster cannot completely inherit the memory of the person it replaces, and the degree of parasitism is not
We imagine so thoroughly that the remnants of the parasitized person's spiritual will will have an impact on those parasitic monsters and cause obstacles to their actions.
This may be the reason why this town has not been completely destroyed so far.
But no matter what, their number has reached a very terrifying level.
According to our couple's covert investigation, the source of all this came from a strange pale woman. Stoffes initially brought her back to the town, and soon became obsessed with her charm. After an extremely weird wedding, he converted to faith.
and soul were dedicated to her. And she is the source of those unknown monsters!
They have established several small strongholds in the town. The known strongholds include Dr. Ross's private clinic, the magic workshop, the mayor's office...
They have bad personalities and are extremely unfriendly to humans. Our couple believes that they are quite intelligent, but there is no possibility of coexisting with humans.
The mayor and the unknown monsters want to revive the people they believe in in this town.
We see that evil painting, a painting by a parasitic artist, the composition of which is like looking directly into hell.
That is the object of their worship, and it is definitely not a friendly existence.
In order to achieve this goal, they gathered the mages in the town, hoping to use their power to achieve results, but judging from the situation of the magic workshop, the progress was not optimistic.
We don't know if this is good news, because if this road is blocked, they will use more cruel things to open other channels.
They attacked passers-by, some in the Moranton Valley, and some even directly in the town.
All the famous people in the town have become their puppets!
Except Randolph, that smooth-talking liar.
We once went to the empire near Otoya. There was a rumor circulating in the empire that a few years ago a cunning fraudster was exposed after defrauding a lord of a huge amount of property. He was hunted and disappeared.
Between the Grace Mountains, you must know that the Grace Mountains are one of the borders between the Mance Empire and Otoa.
And that con man looks exactly like our affable Mr. Randolph!
What else is there to say!
For the sake of his own life, this liar could succumb to those monsters, help them do evil, turn a blind eye to their atrocities, and even help deal with them!
As I write this, my hand holding the pen is shaking violently. It is easy to tell from the handwriting that our husband and wife have actually exchanged and written this many times. These things are really too much for us two people who have experienced everything in this town.
crazy.
It's been a long time since we've had a good night's sleep because we're not sure if we'll be ourselves when we wake up the next day.
Fortunately, those monsters will not parasitize children. As long as the children do not appear in their sight, they will not spread their evil intentions to the children.
Bawi, listen to us, stay at home and don't run around.
There must be their lair in the Moranton Valley, which is the center for them to hold evil rituals, but our couple really has no more courage to go there.
Our activities connect the town with the outside world. The mayor has set his sights on us, and we don’t know how long we can survive. He is looking for us more and more frequently, and our uneasiness is getting stronger and stronger.
Everything we know has been told in the hope that it will serve as some basis for the reader's assessment of events in the town.
Finally, I give it to our Bavi, blessed by Hermos, and wish you a healthy growth. What is condensed in the pocket watch is the time of our family. Happy Winter Festival.
…
After reading it, Aaron folded the letter carefully.
Xing Liuli covered her mouth and shook her head frequently.
"I'll go find Bawe, and you two go to the magic workshop to confirm the situation. Then we'll gather in the east of the town and prepare to go to Moranton Valley." Aaron quickly arranged.
Xing Liuli could hear that Aaron's tone was serious, and he obviously planned to directly remove all the shadows in the town tonight.
"Okay!" Xing Liuli nodded and said seriously.
"Ouch -" Yue Tomb responded.
The two dolls jumped out of the window and left.
After they left, Aaron suddenly raised his hand in one direction and clenched his palm tightly.
"ah!"
A sharp scream was emitted, and a larger existence than the previous pale creature was grabbed out of thin air. Many sharp legs were waved feebly out of thin air, but they were unable to break free from the invisible shackles.
"It turns out that they are not all gone, there is one more." Aaron's tone was relaxed, but his expression was a bit scary.
Feeling the oppressive atmosphere, the pale creature struggled even harder at this time, and the scarlet eyeballs on its body trembled violently, all staring at Aaron, with strange power condensing in the eyes, ready to fight to the death.
Only then did it realize that Aaron's figure had disappeared in front of it.
Not only Alon's figure, but also the buildings in front of him began to distort, deconstruct, and dissipate.
All of its eyeballs have lost sight.
"I didn't allow you to look at me with those dirty eyes." Aaron's voice sounded from all directions.
"Ah! Ah!"
"Unpleasantly, during the days when I was away, there were so many insidious bugs on this land."
"ah!"
"Shut up, I didn't allow you to speak."
"Uh..." The pale creature's voice was silenced.
"Whether it's the figure, the voice, or the abilities, they are not my type. That's it. This clumsy drama you have put on for me in this town is over."
"..."
"As for my feelings..."
All the sounds faded away, and with them the thoughts of this pale creature. Its soul was pulled out of the body by magical power, and it became an item of this great being forever.
"Rubbish."
This was the last sound it heard before its consciousness ended, and it penetrated deep into the soul.
It is infinitely louder than the snoozing sound of their sleeping mothers.
