After a brief dinner, the group went to what the old woman called a wooden shed. They took the sleeping old woman's doll by the way, and from her analysis, it was concluded that the doll belonged to Lena, and perhaps some traces could be found from the information left on it.

But after such a long time, Charlotte is really not sure whether she can save those children in the village. Even if she made the most optimistic plans, Charlotte felt that there would never be one in ten children still alive.

With the coarse cloth sewn doll in hand, Charlotte walked around the village by night. The woman could not point out the direction of the hut, and they had to look for it with their hands and feet, lest the villagers take them for the accomplices of the demonic stranger and cause unnecessary misunderstanding.

However, after looking around, I didn't see the shed.

"That little girl isn't lying, is she, and think about it, can you really believe what a madman says so easily?" said Elle, who was only a little tall, with her hands crossed over her chest. Although it is true that the old woman can only be called a little girl in the era in which she was created, the picture of a wrinkled old woman being called so by a silver-haired young girl is too disobedient.

Vivien and Lolita burst out laughing.

Charlotte couldn't help laughing, he patted El's little head with a smile, and scolded with a smile, "Don't talk stupidly here, although the old man speaks upside down, there is nothing wrong with the logic." Have you ever seen a delirious person come up with such a logical story?"

"Then why can't we find the shed?" asked Albert.

"That's because the wooden shed has been burned to the ground!"

Charlotte was not surprised by the sudden voice, but looked into the shadow of the stone house in the corner. There stood a young man, in his early twenties, who was watching him with an expectant and wary look. He was holding on to the wall with one hand, his supporting leg straining slightly, looking like he was going to run at any moment.

"Really?" said Charlotte to the young man, "in that case, could you please take us there?"

"Are you an accomplice of that fellow?" asked the young man alarmedly.

"Which eye do you see that we are the kind of gangless rats!" Lolita retorted unhappily, "If we want to do something bad, it won't be that complicated, and I can solve you all by myself without even my teacher's intervention!"

The unceremonious words of the Genki girl won the trust of the young man, and the man breathed a sigh of relief, "This is the best." I saw you coming out of Grandma Lena's house, her house was miserable enough, I hope you can help her. And the rest of the village. ”

The man beckoned, kept his distance from Charlotte's group, and led the way. He was familiar with the terrain of the village, avoiding the houses with firewood along the way, and took Charlotte and others through the village with ease.

"Will you trust us?" Vivien was suspicious of this unusual young man.

The young man froze, as if he was carrying something heavy, and suddenly he was relieved by this sentence, or he replied as if he had given up on himself, "I have to believe you, I have to atone for my mistakes." ”

"Atonement?" asked Lolita, Charlotte giving her a thoughtful expression.

"That night I went with my good friend to explore the devil's hut, but I was the only one who escaped. The young man covered his stomach with a disgusting expression that wanted to vomit, "I did something stupid, and it was clear that my friend warned me at the cost of his life, but I turned a blind eye, and only thought about revenge, and instigated the village chief to take revenge on that man." I was stupid, really, because of my stupidity and arrogance, several people in the village who besieged the man died, and later the children disappeared. I'm the most damned one, but in the end, I'm the only one who can be saved!"

His sad expression of wanting to cry but not being able to cry made Charlotte feel that sometimes a person is too lucky, and perhaps it is another more terrible tragedy that fate has forced on people.

Either you are as painful as a young man, or you will ruin people to the point that they are completely dehumanized.

Charlotte empathizes with this, countless reincarnations, and as an observer, he has never felt similar pain. For those who hold on to justice and goodness, luck is sin, insight is suffering, and you can either move forward with pain or abandon your persistence as a human being and perish.

Apparently, the young man intends to atone for his sins, even though he does not necessarily trust Charlotte, but decides to try that possibility at the cost of his life.

Rather, even if he was deceived and lost his life, it might be a relief for him.

After he said this, the atmosphere became very dreary. In the mountain village at night, those strange branches fluttering with the mountain wind also became listless, and after a while, even the wind seemed to be weak.

The crowd hurried away, and it didn't take long for them to come to a ruin.

The ground was covered with charred charcoal, and some of the unburned wooden beams were roasted and cracked. Lolita pushed the charcoal away on her tiptoes, only to see that the ground here had an eerie bright red color.

Elle wrinkled her nose and waved her little hand, "A smell of sulfur!"

Brimstone?

Charlotte motioned to her disciples, who stood in a corner and pulled out the casting materials and blew them into the ruins. The breeze blew up, blowing the ashes of the ruins, and the young man stood aside and watched the actions of several people, showing a look of fear and expectation.

In a few moments, all the charred ash of the land was gone, revealing the unnatural scarlet earth within. There was a mysterious pattern on it, and Charlotte looked at it, and suddenly made a judgment in her heart.

"It's an evil rune that summons demons, and it's a demon worshipper. The worst part is that, judging by the finesse of the runes depicted, that guy is still an idiot with little ability. ”

Despite this, Charlotte's expression was even heavier. Most of Gain's low-level demon worshippers are uneducated, crude, and reckless, and don't think about the consequences at all. Just like Charlotte when she was a child, she has no reverence for the world, but acts according to her likes and dislikes.

Children fall into the hands of such people, and it is estimated that there will be more than one luck.

The young man didn't understand Charlotte's worries, but said excitedly, "Can you solve that demon?"

"It's not hard to deal with him. Charlotte nodded and held up the coarse cloth doll, "Anyway, let's see if we can find any trace of the man, I hope he is not too far away." ”

With that, he quickly drew a simple circle on the ground, placed the doll in the circle, and began to release the spell.

After a while, the idol stood up from the ground crookedly like a soul, pointed towards the mountain, took two steps, but fell to the ground because of the loose cotton wool in its legs. I rolled a few times, but I couldn't get up.

Such a strange scene startled the young man, and Charlotte thanked him for his help and refused his desire to go with him. With Vivien holding the doll, the four of them walked towards the deep mountains and old forests in the night.

That stupid demon worshipper, he didn't even stray far from the village.
