In Simon's narration, Thea hears a bleak ** love story.

Able used to be the chief apothecary of Nightlight Town. For the first forty years of his life, he devoted all his time to medicine.

Of course, it can also be said that it is because the ** love that belongs to him has not come.

And when he was forty years old, ** love finally came belatedly. Abel met Alyssa, who had moved here with her family, and fell into the ** river. Although Alyssa was twenty years younger than him. Although others are not optimistic about this marriage with a huge age difference, Abel and Alyssa still got married in the end and lived very happily.

Alyssa's presence made Abel feel that his previous life was so lonely and wasted that he couldn't leave his little wife for a moment. So when Alyssa dies of an illness, Abel collapses. He was the best apothecary in Nighttown, but he couldn't save his wife. White-headed overnight, he seized the last bit of hope in despair and made a crazy decision. Because he remembered that it was possible for those who were rumored to be infected by the plague of natural disasters to be resurrected again! And he happened to have a little plague sample in his hand. And rightfully so, he did.

Able infuses the plague sample into the body of the dead Elisa, waiting with hope and apprehension. After an hour as long as his life, Alyssa opened her eyes and returned to the world as she wished.

Abel was overjoyed to think that perhaps his pious prayer had moved the god of fate. But, in fact, this is just a cruel joke played by the god of fate with him.

Although the resurrected Alyssa looks the same as before, no one notices her abnormality. However, only Abel knew that Alyssa had not been able to eat anything since her resurrection. No matter how much Abel tried to make her an appetizer, he couldn't get her to eat a single bite of food.

Finally, one night, Alyssa disappeared.

An anxious Abel searched the entire town of Night, and finally found her in the south of the town.

It was the church's small cemetery, and his Alyssa was crouching by the gloomy bushes of the cemetery. I don't know what I'm doing.

Abel will never forget that scene.

Alyssa looked up in horror at Abel, who had discovered her secret. The moonlight shone on her pale face, clearly and brightly shining on the side of her cherry little mouth, which was mottled with blood red. Her entire jaw was stained with blood spilling from her mouth.

Eliza...... Eating corpses.

To Abel's despair, he discovers that his wife is no longer the Alyssa she used to be. But what can he do?

When Alyssa vomited as soon as she ate ordinary food, and when she looked at Abel with pity and timidity as her eyes were full of hunger and begging, Abel acquiesced......

But sooner or later, the secret will be revealed.

The church's cemetery was dug up. The devouring of the corpse was soon discovered and spread around the town.

Although Abel repeatedly asked and restrained Alyssa not to go to the small cemetery to steal corpses. But by this time Alyssa had become a ghoul through and through, and her thirst for corpses was the same as that of human beings for cows, sheep and pork, and even more - because she could only eat corpses!

So, Alyssa, who ran away with Abel on her back, was finally caught by the Night's Watch.

This caused great panic among the townspeople, and the mayor of the town, Duke Eberlock, personally presided over the trial.

Although Abel resisted and took all the blame on himself. However, he still can't save Alyssa. In any case, the presence of a ghoul in the town cannot be tolerated. Even Elisa's parents just didn't say a word with tears in their eyes.

Able was firmly tied up by several young men and watched as the townsfolk pushed Alyssa to the ground. Watch as the silver dagger stabs into Alyssa's chest and takes out her heart, and watch as the giant machete cuts off Elisa's head.

Physically and mentally exhausted, Able could no longer admit it, and he fainted.

Since the whole town did not agree to bury Alyssa's body in the small cemetery of the church in Nighttown, Abel had to leave Nighttown with her body. He buried Alyssa in a corner of the northeast of Raven Ridge. And he built a small cabin next to it, where he accompanied his wife day and night.

After the long story, Simon smiled at a disbelieving Shia, "Do you know what the people of Nightlight call him?" ”

Sia hadn't recovered from the shock yet, and shook her head dumbfoundedly.

Sure enough, Simon smiled even more. "They called him 'The Corpse Hideer.'"

As he spoke, Abel's figure appeared. "Mr. Simon!" As he ran, he shouted loudly, "It's all ready." ”

Hearing his voice, Xia, who was still immersed in the story, couldn't help but shudder.

"I'll be right here." Simon replied loudly to Abel, and then approached Thea. He draped his big coat over her body and said softly, "Your face looks so bad, does this story scare you?" But don't worry, Abel won't be a threat to us. Do you want to go inside and rest? Abel and I will be busy for a while, okay? ”

The black spree fell on Thea's body. Let her come back to her senses.

"What are you going to do?" She took Simon's hand, her tone stiff.

Simon was still thoughtful about the wording. "Thea, I don't want you out of my sight, but what we're going to do, that scene...... Can be a bit ......"

"It doesn't matter. I'm not going to bother you! Thea said stubbornly. She had to see for herself what Simon and Abel were going to do. "I guess it won't be scarier than the alchemy room of the Royal Apothecary Guild in the Undercity."

Simon smiled.

"That's right, if you insist, let's do it together." He took her hand and walked towards Abel. "In that case, you should be well-behaved." Before Sia tried to break free of his hand, he spoke flatly, in a tone like a wayward child.

Thea silently glanced at the hand he was holding in his hand, remained silent and obediently followed him.

"Mr. Simon, ma'am?" Abel asked with a wind lamp in his hand and a little hesitantly.

"It's okay, she's also my alchemy apprentice." Simon casually found a reason without blinking. "Let's hurry up and get started!"

"Yes...... Yes, yes. Abel apparently asked casually. He was more anxious than anyone else about what was to come. "Then, please."

Able walked to the back of the cabin, skillfully opened a well-concealed plank, revealed a large hole in the bottom, and jumped first.

Simon jumped after that.

"Do you want me to carry you down?" He looked at Sia playfully.

"I can do it myself." Sia quickly shook her head and signaled that she could.

"Watch your step." Simon didn't do much reluctantly, and followed Abel forward.

I don't know how Abel did it alone, but the entrance to this tunnel was dug as big as three people hugging each other, and even the inside was dug extremely deep and tall, and the further you went, the more spacious it became.

Abel, who was walking in front, lit the candles around him one by one. The dark basement grew brighter.

Sia looked at it, and the final basement was about fifty or sixty square meters, almost five meters high. There are all kinds of equipment and miscellaneous items in the corner. To the right of the center was a large operating table, on which lay a large humanoid monster stitched together with rotten flesh, bone, and steel.

"Abomination......" Thea whispered. Almost immediately, she understood why it was so spacious. She grabbed Simon by the corner of his coat. "Why is there an abomination here! What do you want to do? ”

Simon didn't have the slightest impatience and replied softly, "It's not what I want to do, it's that you should ask Abel what he wants to do." Do you think that after seeing his wife stripped of her life by the townsfolk again, this poor man will be as kind and gentle as ever? Of course...... No. There are only two things left in his heart, the resurrection of his Elisa, and ...... Revenge. That's all he asks for for revenge. ”

Xia snapped at him: "Don't always fool me, how can humans master the technology of creating abominations. This is strictly forbidden in the Union. And how could Abel alone build such a large underground alchemy room. You...... Or what role does the Undercity play in this? ”

Simon looked at her with a deep look in his eyes. "It was all of Abel's own volition. He gives us information about Nightlight, and we help him fulfill his wishes. After all, no matter what, I'm still in the Undercity's position, and it's not bad to add a little chaos to the Alliance. ”

He leaned into her ear and whispered a warning, "Although you were once a ......, you are now one of the Forsaken. Shia, you'd better not confuse your position. ”

"You!" Xia was about to say something, but suddenly smelled a calming flower from Simon's body. She found that her body could not move.

"What did you smell for me?"

"Sedative, don't worry, I just want you to sit quietly for a while." Simon carried her to a nearby hoop chair.

"Simon," Shia glared at him hatefully, "you're like a demon! ”

"Probably for most people, that's it. But, Thea, for me, you're the only one, it's different. Simon smiled gracefully, kissed Thea on the cheek, and turned to the operating table.

"Alright, let's get started, Abel." Simon took off his coat and picked up a pair of gloves from a tray next to him and put them on. "First...... Let's start simple. By the way, let me check how your results are. ”

"Yes!" Abel's voice trembled with excitement.
