Chapter 0552: Being a Stranger in a Foreign Land (Part 2)



"You annoying stranger! Who would open the door for you on hunting night? Get out of here right now!"

MMP!

Looking at the closed door in front of him, Fang Zheng raised his middle finger. The streets of this town were full of lunatics, and when they saw Fang Zheng, they rushed over to beat him up as if he had seen the murderer of his father. After Fang Zheng finally killed these guys, he found that there were voices in the houses around him, but when he knocked on the door to ask about the situation, he was turned away without exception.

Some people laughed at him and said that he deserved to be locked up outside. Some people asked Fang Zheng to stay away from their homes because he was a foreigner... What's wrong with being a foreigner? Did a foreigner eat your rice? I just wanted to ask a question. Why are you so serious?

It's because Fang Zheng has a good temper, otherwise I would have just thrown a torch at you and burned your house down. Let's see if you can still keep on talking.

But even so, Fang Zheng got some clues from what these people said. This seemed to be a small town called Yharnam, and right now, this town was hosting a large-scale event called "Hunting Night". Fang Zheng was not sure what the specific content of the event was, but in his opinion, it was probably a non-mainstream celebration where a group of lunatics would chop down anyone they saw on the street...

So this isn’t PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds, but Dead by Daylight?

Fang Zheng didn't take these crazy villagers seriously. Apart from waving their weapons, these guys had basically no other fighting skills. The cultists in the main world were more difficult to deal with than them. And for Fang Zheng, who danced face to face with the Nameless Cinder King, he could deal with these scum with one hand.

But now Fang Zheng's biggest problem is not to solve these annoying troubles, but to find a place to stay and rest. In fact, the clinic where he first woke up was not bad, but Fang Zheng did not plan to stay there for long. Although he could not use the prophecy spell, Fang Zheng could feel that there was a strong malice in the clinic, so for the sake of his own safety, he should stay away from such a weird place.

Originally, Fang Zheng was planning to ask the local residents for a place to stay, but the result... was like this.

No one was willing to let him in, and no one was willing to open the door for him. Fang Zheng had basically nothing to do except wandering around outside like a lonely ghost.

But soon, Fang Zheng understood why the people in this town stayed indoors. Because besides those crazy villagers, there were many strange creatures on the streets, such as a fat man who looked like a pig, and a werewolf running wild on the streets. These guys looked no better than the villagers, and Fang Zheng had nothing to do except send them to the west to obtain Buddhist scriptures.

"This is really unlucky..."

Pushing open a tightly closed iron door again, Fang Zheng couldn't help but stretch his aching body. He now desperately wanted to find a place to rest, but sleeping outside... considering the environment, it was obviously not a good choice.

“You, who are you?”

Just as Fang Zheng was about to move forward, he suddenly heard a little girl's voice from a window not far from him. Fang Zheng stopped and turned to look in the direction where the voice came from. He saw a small figure appear at the window, looking in his direction.

"I don't recognize your voice, sir, but I know the smell..."

smell?

Fang Zheng glanced at the clothes he was wearing. Apart from the smell of blood, there didn't seem to be any other smell on them. But before he could say anything else, the little girl's voice rang out again.

"Are you a hunter, sir? Could you help me find my mother? My father went hunting and never came back, and my mother went to look for him, but now she hasn't come back either... I'm alone and very scared..."

"Looking for your mother?"

After hearing the little girl's request, Fang Zheng thought about it for a moment and then nodded. This was the first person he could communicate with normally since he came into this world. Although Fang Zheng was not sure where her mother was, at least she shouldn't be in any danger...right?

Thinking of the groups of monsters and crazy villagers on the street, Fang Zheng had no way to guarantee this. He couldn't even understand why a woman would abandon her daughter and run to such a dangerous street at such a time... What kind of logic is this?

But anyway, if I find her, maybe I can ask her to give me a place to stay temporarily. Anyway, it's better than sleeping on the street.

"Of course."

After hearing Fang Zheng's answer, the little girl's voice suddenly became much more cheerful and happy.

"Really? Thank you! My mother wears a ruby ​​brooch, which is very large and beautiful, and you must have seen it. Oh, by the way, if you see my mother, please give her this music box..."

As he was talking, Fang Zheng saw that the window that was originally tightly closed opened a crack, and then a small music box was handed out from inside.

"…This music box will play Daddy's favorite songs. If Daddy forgets us, we can play songs for him and he will remember. Mommy is stupid. She forgot to bring the music box when she went out!"

"……All right."

Hearing the little girl's words, Fang Zheng hesitated for a moment, then reached out to take the music box. For some reason, he always had a bad feeling from the little girl's words. What did "If Dad forgets us, just play the song for him, and he will remember it?" mean? Could that guy be a madman too?

If that's the case...

Fang Zheng recalled the villagers he had met on the street before...

I'm afraid there's no hope.

Thinking of this, Fang Zheng reached out and opened the music box. Soon, a slightly cheerful tune came out of it. There was a note on the lid of the box with two names written on it: "Viola and Gascoigne".

"If I find your mother, I will bring her back."

Fang Zheng nodded to the little girl in the window, then turned and left. He was not sure if he could find the little girl's mother. After all, in this dangerous town, if a woman was powerless, she would either be hacked to death by those crazy villagers or smashed into a pulp by werewolves and other monsters.

“Ding…ding…ding…”

The sound of the bell echoed over the town. Fang Zheng couldn't help but frown when he heard it. He had heard the bell before in the Holy City, but the sound was melodious and beautiful. But the bell here sounded like a funeral procession... In fact, the town in front of him really looked like it was walking into death.

But then again, is there any way to leave this town?

Fang Zheng thought for a long time, then shook his head. He chatted with the little girl for a few words before leaving. Unfortunately, perhaps because she was too young, the little girl couldn't explain many things clearly or know anything. Perhaps after finding her mother, Fang Zheng could get some more reliable intelligence from her mother.

That is, if her mother were still alive.

But as of now...it's unlikely.

"roar--!!"

Just as Fang Zheng was walking up the stairs, suddenly, a werewolf roared and jumped out from the corner of the wall on the other side, and pounced on Fang Zheng. Fang Zheng quickly rolled back when he heard the werewolf's movement, and then he swung the chain sword in his hand suddenly, hitting the werewolf like a whip.

“Bang!!”

With a loud thrashing sound, the werewolf wailed and retreated, but soon, it got on all fours and roared as it tried to attack Fang Zheng from the other side. But Fang Zheng just looked at it, snorted coldly, and then whipped it again!

"Call me Queen... No, call me Master!"

“Bang!”

“Ouch!!”

Looking at the werewolf who once again retreated in disgrace, Fang Zheng found that he seemed to have awakened some extraordinary interest in the process of using this weapon...

Maybe I can try it with Tilia after I go back? After all, normal play will get boring after a while, so I always need to change the interest...

He swung his sword again, slitting the werewolf's throat, and then walked up the stairs again. When he reached the end of the stairs, suddenly, a strange sound rang out.

“Boom…Boom…!”
