Chapter 8 Taboos
Denise's ghost is controlled by Rondo's cubs.
The body is being targeted by something unknown.
How sought-after is this?
Almost instinctively, Jason snorted.
Pity......
There is no smell of any food at all.
Then, Jason looked at Denise with a scrutinizing gaze.
And Dennis?
Completely unaware, he was so excited to laugh and dance in circles, as if he was ...... A loose two-ha.
Not only stupid, but also crazy.
What can be so special about such an Erha girl?
Jason couldn't help but ask himself.
Am I mistaken?
Jason, who was a little skeptical, took the initiative to speak.
"Did you have any special experiences?"
Jason asked.
"A special experience?"
"When I was a child, I was hit by a horse-drawn carriage, I fell into a puddle, I was bitten by a dog, is that counted?"
"Several times!"
Denise replied after a moment of serious thought.
"Except for this."
"I mean contact with the mystical side."
Jason frowned, and had to ask in more intelligible words.
"Yes!"
"You!"
Denise raised her hand and pointed at Jason.
"Except for me."
"Except for the monsters that I just purified and the existence in the coffin."
"Have you ever been concerned about anything lately?"
Jason had to narrow down the rhetorical question again.
“emmm……”
"When I watched the circus before, that maltose was very sweet."
"Sweeter than any sugar I've ever tasted!"
After Denise thought about it again, he gave a thing that he thought he cared about the most.
Sugar?
Jason squinted, then continued, "Did that girl's family come to mourn you?" ”
"Nope!"
"Not even the little girl can be found."
"And, my mom said, that little girl should have evaded the ticket to get in!"
Denise shook her head.
Then, she suddenly became angry.
"Damn!"
"How did she get in? The conductor there is sharp! ”
"It took me three weeks of part-time work to save money for a circus ticket."
Listening to Denise's indignant description, Jason's mind began to concatenate information:
Denise couldn't escape the circus, but a little girl slipped in.
Then, the unexpected happened.
The little girl was saved, and Denise, who protected the little girl, 'died'.
According to common sense, the little girl's family will definitely come to mourn Danes.
But the other party's family did not appear, and even the little girl disappeared.
And beforehand, Denise had eaten the ...... given by the little girl Sugar!
Seemingly normal things, in Jason's eyes at this time, are a little weird.
Is it the effect of that candy?
If that's what that candy does, then who is that little girl?
Moreover, if this assumption is true......
That little girl is also coming for Denise!
Thinking of this, Jason did not hesitate, and said to Denise very simply: "Tell your parents to leave Karl Town immediately, and you will go to a bigger city with them." ”
The world in front of me is full of monsters and weirdness.
Naturally, the big cities are no exception.
but
Big cities are supposed to have roles like 'guardians'.
It's like the old knight of 'Lorde'.
Thinking of the old sir, Jason couldn't help but take a deep breath and suppressed the discomfort in his heart.
Then he felt Denise squirm in front of him, without the slightest intention of talking to his parents.
"I thought I was going to die, so, I just said ...... to them"
"I'm your apprentice."
"The 'Night's Watch' apprentice."
"I'm going with you far, far away."
Denise lowered her head and didn't dare to look at Jason at all, her hands in front of her, her two index fingers kept touching each other, and her voice became lower and lower.
However, the next moment, the deceased girl raised her head and raised her voice.
"You don't want my parents to know that I lied and thus know the truth, do you?"
"You're going to help me, aren't you?"
The deceased girl looked at Jason expectantly.
Jason nodded, and then, in the delighted expression of the deceased girl, said lightly:
"Hmm."
"I'll tell your parents the truth that it was the original plan, but now the plan has changed."
"I need to go to that place alone."
"You and your parents go to a bigger city."
……
Outside the Emerald Hotel.
The Denis family says goodbye to Jason.
"Thank you for all you do for Denise."
"You're going to be traveling at night, the autumn breeze is too cool, and I hope it can add some warmth to you."
As he spoke, Denise's father took out a leather mattress and handed it to Jason.
Jason took the mattress and was soft, warm, and smelled faintly freshly nitrated.
"Thank you."
Jason graciously thanked him.
"Nothing."
"It's a lionskin mattress."
"It's nothing compared to your kindness."
Denise's father smiled heartily.
Lionskin?
Jason was stunned.
Then, he nodded slightly.
He turned around and boarded the carriage.
After spreading the lionskin mattress on the seat, he instructed Peters to go on the road.
There is no doubt that there should be a lot of unknowns hidden in the Gerdanren.
So......
He's going to get out of here.
Because, Jason couldn't be sure if he would be able to reach the harbor of 'Hans' before the 26th, if he was involved.
As for the Denis family?
Touching the lion's skin mattress, Jason didn't think he needed to worry too much.
The father was more reliable than he seemed.
Denise's brother too.
Recalling the strange noise in the coffin, the performance of the two young people, Jason couldn't help but praise, ordinary people would have been paralyzed to the ground long ago when they saw such a scene.
Thinking about Denise's mother again, she is also well-behaved.
It can be said that the family, except for Denis, is very reliable.
And such a Denis?
I guess I picked it up.
With this guess in mind, Jason turned on the kerosene lamp in the car, put the book given by the old knight on the small table, and read carefully.
Whether or not Denise was picked up or not, it once again taught Jason a truth: if you are not strong enough, you can't even control your own destiny.
So, Jason was the first to choose to read the 'Monster Record' section in detail.
After all, he only needs to be familiar with the characteristics of the four monsters before he advances to the night man.
In the record, there are two kinds.
'Helken' and 'Kilken'.
But just as Jason turned to the page of the book that recorded 'Helken', a voice of unknown meaning suddenly sounded in his ears.
The moment the voice appeared, the muscles in Jason's whole body tensed.
He subconsciously grasped the hilt of the knife.
However, there is no use at all.
Because, the harm caused by invisible voices is also invisible.
Airplanes!
Amid the intense ringing in his ears, Jason's vision began to blur.
Blood continued to flow from the nostrils, the corners of the eyes, and the ears.
Jason's muscular body began to twitch.
He felt like his brain was going to boil.
But the voice still echoed.
And, on the verge of death, Jason found that he understood the meaning of this sentence -
'Do you want sugar?' ’
