The village gate made a harsh sound and then slowly opened.
The sound of horse hooves rang out, and Morin and his companions walked into the village.
After the previous exchanges and conversations, Morin and his team obtained the consent of the village chief and were able to enter the village to rest.
The village was very dilapidated, showing a sense of barbarism and antiquity. There was an indescribable strange smell floating in the air. The village chief, the old man who appeared before, led Morin and the others slowly forward, while constantly talking to them.
"You are really generous to use a dead gazelle as accommodation fee. Thank you, really, I want to say thank you to you."
"It just so happens that there is a large empty room in our village, but it has been unoccupied for a long time and is rather shabby. I hope you don't mind."
The old village chief was walking in front, explaining something to Morin and the others.
Mo Lin and the others listened quietly without saying much. From time to time, Mo Lin would ask a question or two, and the old village chief would respond with a sentence or two.
"Grandpa, the village chief."
Suddenly there was a timid voice nearby. Upon closer inspection, a little girl appeared at the edge of a wooden house. She looked outside timidly, blinking her bright eyes, looking very cute.
When the little girl saw Morin and the others looking at her, she immediately shrank back, looking timid and very nervous.
"Luna, go and get some firewood." The old village chief looked at the little girl, a gentle look appeared on his face, and he spoke softly to the little girl.
The little girl stood there, she said softly, looked at Mo Lin and the others again, then turned around and ran away quickly.
Sophie and Silver Bracelet looked at the little girl who was wearing tattered clothes but had bright eyes and was stumbling away. They looked at each other and smiled knowingly.
Mo Lin and the others entered the room. As expected, the room was just as the old village chief had said, extremely shabby. It was just some broken wooden boards, and the door panel was broken into several pieces, which could only barely block some of the night wind.
A little girl named Luna came over with some firewood. Her dark yet bright eyes kept moving as she looked at Morin and the others curiously. When Morin and the others noticed her and looked at her, Luna lowered her head and quickly ran away.
The fire was burning, illuminating the surroundings extremely brightly.
Maureen was cooking a pot of thick soup, slowly turning a silver spoon in the pot.
The surroundings fell into an eerie silence.
Quiet.
It was abnormally quiet.
Squeak.
The door suddenly made a sound.
"Ah?" Dingxiang was startled. She subconsciously looked outside the door and found that the old village chief had appeared outside the door at some point.
At this time, the old village chief's face was stiff and pale, which was extremely abnormal. He walked in, as if he was holding something in his hand.
Dingxiang and Yinzhuo looked at the old village chief and suddenly felt a palpitation and an indescribable fear.
The old village chief at this time gave people a very different feeling, very different.
They were stunned for a moment, then subconsciously moved closer to each other.
"Young men, you are cooking soup. It just so happens that I have something here. Adding it to the soup will make the soup taste better." The old village chief's lips moved, and under the light of the fire, his face flickered, looking indescribably strange.
As he spoke, the old village chief slowly lowered the clay pot in his hand into the pot where something was cooking.
Wow.
Wow.
The pungent smell of blood came over all of a sudden.
Endless blood poured out from the clay jar and instantly poured into the pot that fell in mid-air, rolling and gushing non-stop, as if it would never end.
Endless blood.
Wow, wow.
Whoosh, whoosh.
It was as if a long river of blood was pouring out of the clay jar.
But what was strange was that after the seemingly endless blood entered the pottery jar, it disappeared completely, without any other movement, as if everything was an illusion.
The old village chief seemed like a wax figure. He turned his palms hard, and the angle of the pouring became larger. More blood poured out at this time, but unfortunately, no matter how much blood entered the pot, it disappeared without a trace or mark at all.
"Okay, stop." Morin stopped stirring and said lightly.
As soon as the voice fell, the blood that seemed to be pouring down to form a blood river suddenly stopped at this moment and stopped pouring down.
There was no expression on Morin's face. He scooped up a bowl of fresh soup, handed it to Rose, and said, "Would you like some?"
"ah!!!!!"
Rose thought of the river of blood just now, her face turned pale with fright, and she let out a terrified scream in an instant.
Maureen was stunned for a moment, then smiled and handed the soup to Sophie who wanted to take it.
"Brother Molin, this village looks a little strange. We..." Sophie looked worried, and she wanted to say something.
"It's just a little accident. I didn't think about it before, but after a while I found something wrong." Morin comforted her and said, "Don't worry, Sophie, it's nothing, there's no accident or anything like that. Drink it, drink the soup."
Sophie looked at the bowl of soup. The soup was very clear and gave off a fresh and sweet aroma. It was as if the endless blood that had just been poured into the pot was just an illusion.
She hesitated for a moment, then picked up the bowl and took a sip.
Mm, it’s delicious. Really delicious.
Sophie's eyes narrowed.
Maureen was also very happy to see this scene.
He did not do anything to the old village chief, nor did he even look at him. However, the old village chief's body seemed to have suffered an invisible heavy blow, and he flew backwards in an instant and landed on the road outside.
As soon as the old village chief's body fell to the ground, he instantly turned into burning black and red ashes. The flames were dotted here and there, and when the wind blew, the bonfire dimmed and went out, and then disappeared.
Time passed quickly and the evening was over in no time.
Squeak.
The tattered door panel was pushed open and Maureen walked out.
Suddenly it started snowing.
The sky and the earth were covered with snow, and everything was covered in silver. The houses were covered with thick white snow, and it seemed as if one had arrived in a distant snowy country.
In the blink of an eye, this place, which was originally a shabby little village, turned into a sea of white.
"Well, what a big change..." Morin walked out, a long puff of white air coming out from his lips.
As for Sophie, Yinzhu and the others, they had already been stunned and stood there.
"Let's go and take a look."
Morin smiled and walked forward first.
It was very quiet all around, no sound, no people, no, nothing.
"What are you looking for?" A crisp voice sounded, and a girl appeared on the spot. Her face was black and she was wearing tattered clothes. She looked very pitiful. However, what was strange was that the little girl stood there but did not feel a bit of cold. To her, the ice and snow in the sky seemed to not exist at all.
Morin knew her. Last night, when Morin and his friends had just arrived in the village, he had seen this little girl. He remembered that the little girl's name was Luna.
"Luna, little girl, tell me, where are the others?" Morin squatted down and asked softly beside Luna.
The little girl named Luna fell silent. She thought seriously. After a while, she looked at Morin and said, "They are all dead. Everyone else is dead."
Everyone is dead? Rose and Silver Bracelet showed shock and astonishment on their faces. It was obvious that they had not expected things to turn out this way.
Everyone is dead.
"Okay, then, good girl, take me to see them." Morin's expression remained unchanged and he spoke warmly.
The little girl Luna smiled sweetly and nodded vigorously.
She jumped and skipped forward, and finally, after a while, Luna brought Maureen and the others to the roadside.
Under the snow, there lay a strange-looking, bent corpse.
He was a strong male villager.
At this moment, the male villager's eyes were wide open with an indescribable feeling of despair in his eyes. Although it was just a normal glance, his feeling could be easily felt by anyone.
Maureen glanced at the corpse, then almost looked away.
"You should know other places. Take me to see them." Morin said.
"good!"
Luna nodded, and wanted to run in a certain direction.
"I'll take you there, just follow me, you..." Luna wanted to say something, but the next moment, her voice stopped.
Maureen came to her side and placed his hands on her face.
"You went to the wrong place, Luna." Morin said calmly, "Not this way, but the other way."
"No, this way."
Luna shook her head.
"I told you, it's this way." Morin said, and then he added, "Not the west, but the east."
"No, it's west."
Luna wanted to say something, but Morin began to drag Luna forward. He put his hand on Luna's face and smiled, but dragged Luna towards the east very forcefully. He dragged her so hard that his palm left a deep mark on Luna's face, deforming her face.
Under such great force, Luna could not bear it at all and was forced to move eastward.
Silver Bracelet and Sophie followed behind Maureen and headed east silently. They didn't say anything and didn't make any other movements. They were not idiots and could see that something was wrong with Luna.
Everything about Luna was really wrong. Really, really, really wrong.
After walking for a while, Morin came to a small wooden house. When he approached, the door of the wooden house exploded instantly, and Morin and his friends walked in without any hindrance.
In the cabin, there was a boy.
The boy was very handsome. He was wearing exquisite silk clothes and had soft short hair as beautiful as gold. He was as delicate as a porcelain doll. But at this moment, this boy who was as delicate and beautiful as a porcelain doll dared not move at all, because there was a giant black snake as thick as an arm wrapped around his body, and from time to time, strange black flames would spew out of the black snake's mouth.
When Morin appeared, the black snake moved, hissed, and then disintegrated by itself, turning into countless black smoke and dissipating.
"Luna, look, it's the east." Morin said with a smile.
There was no expression on Luna's face. She was very pale, like a wax figure.
"You, you, who are you?" The boy's body was trembling, and there was deep fear in his eyes when he looked at Morin.
“It doesn’t matter who I am.”
"The important thing is that you actually wanted to attack us. Well, you are very brave."
Maureen looked at the pretty and delicate little boy, smiled, reached out her hand, and gently rubbed the boy's hair.
"Okay, it's all over now."
Maureen said.
He stretched out his hand and snapped his fingers lightly.
Bang! Faintly, the surroundings were shaking, everything was shaking, the snow was shaking, the houses were bouncing, and pieces of wood were shaking and half floating, as if they were about to fly into the sky.
Boom, boom, boom.
A vague sound was heard, and a huge gray wave surged over, covering the sky and the sun, as if it was going to completely submerge the world.
Of course, there was also a crisp sound.
Pop.
Many thanks to the book friend 'Backpack' for the reward, thank you, thank you.
