Chapter 265 I was the one who set the fire
Thor backed away a little bit, but he had no intention of leaving.
His current code of conduct is: as long as the diary doesn’t say no, then no matter who says no, it won’t work!
Penny "watched" Thor retreat and did not take any other action.
But when Thor retreated to the door, he suddenly waved his hand at Penny.
Two black tentacles with slightly different shapes shot out.
One hit Penny's head, and the other hit Penny's shoulder.
However, when the black tentacles touched Penny's body, she suddenly disappeared.
As Penny disappeared, the increasingly loud sound of the tide outside also disappeared instantly.
Thor was not worried that he was attacking Penny herself, because he did not detect any trace of a living person on her.
However, when he attacked, he still had a trick up his sleeve, letting Xiaozao, who had independent control consciousness, attack Penny's head, while using the first-level witchcraft "Frost Touch" to attack Penny's shoulder.
When Penny's illusion disappeared, Xiaozao slammed on the brakes and stopped.
However, the witchcraft "Frost Touch" shattered the small cabinet where the illusion Penny was.
Because of the freezing property of "Frost Touch", the cabinet was shattered, but it did not scatter all over the ground. Instead, it was frozen in place in its intact form.
"Why didn't you listen to me and insisted on coming in?"
Suddenly, the old madman's voice came from the yard again.
When Thor turned around, he saw the disheveled old madman sighing.
There was no breath of life about this person.
"Another illusion?"
Having learned from the previous experience, Thor did not waste magic energy on attacking this time.
"Since the fake Penny just now was able to communicate, this fake lunatic should be able to do so as well."
He simply smiled, approached slowly, and asked, "Are all the people who entered this town dead?"
The old madman looked sad, "Yes, they are all dead, no one can escape."
"Who killed him?"
The old madman was stunned for a moment, his eyes were blank, as if he was reminiscing.
"Yes, it's the red tide..."
Another red tide? And as he said this, the sound of the wave sounded again.
But this time, the sound seemed closer than before.
Thor narrowed his eyes, but still did not see the spirit attached to the old madman.
It was Mochi Mochi who was supposed to have killed the residents of Mofan Town, but he seemed to be unaware of the bloody tide.
After Mochimochi left, someone turned this dead land into a cursed breeding ground.
"Do you know where else in town there might be some mosheng fruit?"
"Mosheng Fruit?" The old madman repeated, "What is Mosheng Fruit?"
Thor frowned, "Does this illusion only know what happens before death?"
The old madman's eyes wandered for a while, and suddenly he began to urge Thor again.
"Hurry up, hurry up, it will be too late if you don't leave now."
Thor asked other questions several times, but the old madman just asked Thor to leave.
His patience ran out, and he said coldly, "Since you said there are no living people here... then what are you?"
When the old madman heard Thor's question, he was suddenly startled and his expression was dazed again, but this time he never recovered.
“I told you not to have anything to do with the barbarians. We can’t…” He staggered out, shaking his body. “We can’t have anything to do with the barbarians. The village is destroyed, destroyed!”
His running posture was a bit strange, with one hand behind his back as if holding something, and the other hand waving constantly as if asking for help.
"Where is this guy going?"
Thor was puzzled and took two steps forward.
The old madman seemed to hear his footsteps and turned to look at Thor with a troubled look in his eyes.
Suddenly, he was tripped by the air even though he was running on flat ground. He staggered two steps and finally managed to steady himself.
After this time, he never looked back and quickly ran out of the alley.
"This guy..." Thor became even more suspicious of the old madman.
This old madman had always been mysterious. He was able to avoid Xiaozao's investigation and knew the secrets of Mofan Town. He also disappeared and reappeared from time to time.
At the time, Thor thought this guy was very strange. He was neither crazy nor sane.
Unexpectedly, this guy's hallucinations also continued his own weirdness.
He couldn't help but run a few steps outside after the old madman. But as soon as he stepped out of the yard, he lost the old madman's trace.
Of course, it is also possible that the old madman's illusion disappeared.
The moment the old madman disappeared, the sound of waves in the distance stopped again.
"Since it is an illusion, it is normal for it to disappear at any time and anywhere."
Since the old madman disappeared and Penny did not appear again, Thor did not plan to stay here any longer.
"Xiao Zao, take me to the roof."
Xiaozao obediently pulled Thor onto the roof of the courtyard.
The buildings in this courtyard are not very tall, but you can still see the nearby neighborhoods clearly.
"The house where the wizard apprentice lives must be the most luxurious." Thor walked around the roof, looking for the best house in the town.
But the next second, his steps stopped.
Because in the next block, he actually saw a third person.
Aunt Jenny, who appears to be warm-hearted but is indifferent.
At this moment, she was hugging a black shadow, huddled in the corner of the alley next door.
Thor could clearly hear her terrified voice.
"Please, don't do this!" Jenny shook her head desperately.
Was this the scene before Jenny died? When Thor squinted his eyes, he unexpectedly discovered that this Jenny didn't seem to be an illusion, but a vengeful spirit.
But when he came here before, why didn't he find any spirits nearby? Could it be that the curse in the town hid Jenny's whereabouts? "The curse in this town is so strange. Is it a curse or an offensive curse?"
Thor looked around vigilantly but saw no other spirits.
Just as he was about to ignore Aunt Jenny, the latter's wailing suddenly became louder, and her shrill screams were full of anger and despair.
"How can you be so cruel? Jasmine is only 12 years old. Please, let me take her place, let me be the sacrifice in her place!"
"Who is Jasmine?" Saul remembered Jenny once said in the crowd that she didn't have a daughter.
"Is it possible that after I leave, someone is going to take away the girl she's close to?"
Just as Thor was thinking of this, he heard Jenny's shrill voice again.
"No--"
He simply jumped from the roof directly to the alley where Aunt Jenny was.
When he took a few steps to the mad-looking Aunt Jenny, he noticed that this Aunt Jenny looked much younger than the last time he saw her.
She fell to her knees, staring blankly at the entrance of the alley.
The shadow in his arms also disappeared.
Thor suddenly understood.
This scene is not a picture of Aunt Jenny's death, but the most painful memory of her life.
That Jasmine was either her friend or her sister.
So she doesn't have a daughter, but that doesn't mean she doesn't have pain.
Thor suddenly stretched out his hand towards the fallen Jenny. As he moved, an illusory needle invisible to the naked eye extended from the front of his arm, then pierced into Jenny's spirit and injected a little bit of starlight into it.
Aunt Jenny is not under Thor's control, but that does not prevent him from imitating the form in the consciousness space and injecting some energy into the other party.
It was also his attempt.
If you fail, you will only lose a little soul energy. If you succeed... you may get a pleasant surprise. Fortunately, the result of this attempt was good.
Aunt Jenny, who was originally staring at the alley entrance in a daze, suddenly became much more clever after receiving Thor's energy injection.
Her eyes turned slowly, as if she had just noticed Thor's presence.
"Thank you, who are you?" Aunt Jenny vaguely felt that Thor had helped her, but looking at the gray-skinned boy in front of her, she always felt that he was very familiar, but she could not remember his identity.
"Do you know where the sound-grinding fruit in the town is usually stored? Or where the two wizards live?"
Saul didn't worry about his identity. He didn't know how long the little energy he injected could help Jenny maintain her sanity, so he decided to hurry and get to the point.
"The grinding sound fruit..." Jenny was in a trance again the moment she heard this question, "It's not a good thing. Don't look for it. Don't look for it."
Aunt Jenny suddenly moved close to Thor, their noses almost touching, and her face suddenly enlarged in Thor's pupils.
"Let me tell you a secret...I was the one who set the fire." Then she laughed twistedly.
The more she smiled, the bigger her mouth became. The more she smiled, the bigger her mouth became. In the end, it occupied the space of the rest of her facial features. At first glance, her whole face was just a big, grinning mouth.
Third update! (End of this chapter)
