19 The End of Childhood (2)
Ann is getting ready to sleep. But at this moment......
'We deserve to be one......'
Ann heard a voice speaking to herself... But now I'm not meditating or anything...
And... She can be sure that it is her own voice...
Although the voice did not carry any malice, it made Ann feel a creepy feeling...
"Who's talking to me?" Ann sat up, looking around the room, looking a little confused.
'It's all my fault...'
Ann felt something flashing through her mind, but she couldn't remember what was happening...
"Who... Who?"
'We shall be one...'
Although there was no malicious intent in the voice, but... Ann felt that the tone was very... Infiltrating ......
Ann picked up the sound transmission stone and prepared to tell her mother about the situation on her side... But she discovers that the Soundstone has lost its effectiveness... She couldn't reach anyone through the Sound Stone...
'I'm sorry... I didn't expect it to be like this......'
This sentence sounded in Ann's ears, it still didn't have any malice, but listening to it made people feel an unforgettable... Suffering......
At this time, a bell rang outside the window...
There are two bells in the village, one is the ordinary bell on the village tower that is used for morning chirping and police beasts. One is a magic bell built on the Chapel of Tranquility to warn of the presence of a crack nearby.
Pastor Aso claims that after the church was built here, the church bell rang from time to time. None of the people in the village knew what the church bell would sound when it was struck... In the beginning, everyone wondered if the bell sounded the same as a normal bell, and if it did, how would they tell the difference?
However, the village has always been calm, and the topic has since been closed...
And now... When the big bell rang in the village, everyone knew it...... This is the bell of the church.
'Let's be one...'
The voice whispered in Ann's ear again, and she felt the feeling of her hairs standing up...
Ann didn't hesitate, out of fear and uneasiness in her heart, she changed into her normal clothes and ran out of her room towards her parents' bedroom.
The bell rings in a group of five ...
Ann remembers reading it in the book...
The church was on the lookout for a small fissure nearby. Attention needs to be observed.
Four alarms sound, there are large or medium-sized cracks nearby, you need to pay attention to safety.
And a group of five rings......
"Ann?!!!" Before she could reach her parents' bedroom, Ann was passing by the hall when she heard her father's voice, and she saw that Taran and Sita were dressed like her... Yes... Not the clothes they usually wear, but the equipment they wore when they used to go on adventures. They were dressed in civilian clothes, and they did not bring any packages except for the equipment they were wearing, only some small items of value.
Soon, Tata also appeared here.
"Bring this with you. "Throw a small cloth bag to Tata and Ann and tie them both around their waists.
"We ran as fast as we could, we had to get out of here as soon as possible. Taran said in a hurried tone.
'O my dear sister...... Why are you doing this?!'
"Where are we going? Can you hear anybody's talking? It's about the same as mine. I can be sure it sounds like mine. Ann asked uneasily. Even now, she could hear that voice.
"Your voice? No, it's just you talking right now. Taran looked at his daughter a little strangely, he thought that his daughter was having auditory hallucinations because she was too scared, after all... Coming here is the Chaos Hive.
"Maybe you're too nervous, baby. Don't be afraid. We'll be fine when we get out of here. Thea and Taran were of the same mind, and she comforted her daughter.
He picked up Ann and led the way out of the manor, Thea and Tata with him.
"It's okay, baby, it's okay, let's just get out of here. ”
The family rushed to the outside of the village, although Taran was only an adventurer in the past, but now he still has good strength, holding his daughter, rushing towards the outside of the village, Thea and Tata are by his side, and their family does not bring any valuables...
However, they are not worried about starving to death if they leave here, after all, people are old, and they still have strength, not to mention that they know more ways to make money.
"Everybody, get out of here!This will be the center of the rift!!Don't gather here!!"
Pastor Aso shouted through the Wide Area Voice Movement for everyone to leave the village, and the farther away from here, the better... However, on the way, Taran and his party saw that many villagers heard the bell and gathered towards the church... It seems that I want to ask the person what the hell is going on...
Asso sighed as he looked at the 'resting place' on the ceiling of the church.
The 'resting place' is a hexagonal dark blue crystal that usually hangs from the ceiling of the church, and it looks like a chandelier, which is not so noticeable. But at night, the splendor inside is like the night sky, and the stars flow in it. At first, the villagers liked to come together at night to see the chandelier, but then they got used to having such a thing in the village. After all, no matter how beautiful things are, you will get tired of looking at them every day.
And now, a strange symbol spreads out from the middle crack in the resting place: an X-shaped rift in the middle of a vortex, and a strange eye in the middle of the rift. And the symbol of this symbol is: the rift in the Lair of Chaos... will open near the church and the error will not exceed a hundred meters......
Taran accompanied Pastor Aso's shouting along the way, and also shouted, "Everyone listen to the pastor and leave." But many people don't know why, and they still want to go to church to see what is going on.
In fact, many villagers don't know what the five-ring bell symbolizes. Xingmu Village is so remote, so remote that many people don't even have the so-called common sense, like a paradise out of the world.
On the way, Taran meets Anis, who is also running out of the village......
"I want to contact you using the Soundstone, but I can't. Anise spoke first, and she looked at Thea.
"It's the same on our side. Thea said to Anise.
Now it was six, or rather, five, as Ann was carried by Taran and ran wildly towards the outside of the village.
"What the hell, there is a Chaos Nest in such a remote and small place. Is this place cursed by the gods?" Taran had been running away with Ann in his arms for a while, gasping for breath.
"Well, I don't think God would curse His people easily. Not to mention there's a pastor here. Anis complained.
"And a strong pastor. Bei Bei added, he had also seen Asuo's Light Beast, and the moment he saw that thing, Bei Bei, as an old adventurer, naturally knew that Asuo's identity as a priest was not ordinary, and he also mentioned it to Taran... However, Taran didn't care, after all, it was a good thing that there was a powerful priest in this small village, and he didn't want to find out what a powerful priest was here for.
And Taran hadn't seen Aso's Light Beast either, so he didn't know how powerful Priest Aso really was. Anyway, it's not an enemy, so there's no need to investigate so clearly.
But Taran knows very well that no matter how strong Pastor Aso is, he can't face the entire Chaos Nest alone, and no one can: "No matter how strong you are, you have never seen anyone sew the Chaos Nest single-handedly, and I don't dare to write like this in this kind of bridge novel." ”
