Page 118 The Smell of the Dead
"Cold." This is the first thing that little Lori said after Chen Senran hugged her little Lori into the car.
It was indeed a little cold, Chen Senran frowned, glanced at Carl, who was sitting by the window of the car very interestingly, smiled, hugged the little Anne in his arms tighter and sat on the main seat.
Obviously, it was this guy who started to get cold after he came in.
And then there's ...... He had just floated into the car......
Chen Senran quietly looked at the mysterious mage Carl who seemed to be starting to fall asleep, and the little Annie in his arms never dared to raise her head, and kept burying her head in her arms and refused to get up, obviously really frightened by Carl.
"Mr. Carl......" Chen Senran touched Little Lori's little head to comfort her, and at the same time prepared the wording, wanting to test the possible identity and purpose of this unidentified guy again.
"Mr. Chen Senran must be curious about why I floated up, and why I haven't taken off my hat...... Right? Before Chen Senran could say the rest of the words, Carl said all of Chen Senran's possible questions in one go, and finally sighed in a somewhat sad tone.
"yes." Chen Senran stopped talking for a while, he wanted to see what the other party would make up. In fact, these are the other party's privacy, and there is no need to tell it to strangers, but ...... But he spoke so eagerly......
Afraid that others will not suspect him?
"I know that in such a ghost place, my appearance is a little strange, so I don't want you to misunderstand anything, I really have no malicious intent." Quick response to explanations, but is that really the case?
"My body was so damaged during a magic test, it was almost semi-void, my face was completely ruined, my body was semi-floating, and the reason why I wore such a wide robe and hat was because I was afraid of scaring people." Carl continued to explain, his tone so sincere that even the hoarse throat became a symbol of his torture at this moment.
Everything seems to make sense, and the explanation is because I don't want Chen Senran to misunderstand, and the body is traumatized because of the experiment......
But is it necessary?
Chen Senran suddenly felt that either this guy was really a little dull in his brain and a little unfamiliar with interpersonal communication, or he couldn't lie well - stupid.
Which one should I believe?
The first thing to determine is, if he lies, why is he lying, and what is the purpose? This brings us back to the original question, which side of the power is he, or is nothing.
It's a seemingly incomprehensible loop. Chen Senran narrowed his eyes and gently rubbed Xiao Loli's pink hair.
Or is it that I am nervous because of conspiracy theories?
However, in fact, when you arrive at the camp in Demacia, everything is naturally clear.
——————————
The carriage came to a halt just as it was getting dark.
Luckily, Lao Du didn't find the signposts like the ghost story made up by Chen Senran, and unfortunately, they were still a day's way from Demacia's camp. This means that Chen Senran will be threatened by two sides, on the one hand, the unknown danger in the howling swamp, and on the other hand, the threat from the unidentified Carl next to him.
It's a nuisance to feel like a lot of things are being fogged in. Chen Senran jumped out of the carriage with the sleeping little Anne in his arms and stretched, the night wind was a little cold.
The little girl was awakened by the wind, and said in a bit of a daze: "Have you arrived?" ”
"Not yet?" Chen Senran patted her head and motioned for her to continue sleeping, but out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the branch moving on the side, which was the code he and Evelyn had set, and whenever there was no clear situation, he would use the most inconspicuous thing to warn her.
Looks like she's found something.
"Yes." The little girl grunted, closed her eyes, changed her position and began to sleep.
Chen Senran walked over to the place where she thought about the fire, Carl had already sat down there, and Lao Du was about to raise the fire.
"The place is so humid, there's nothing to burn, we don't have much fuel with us, we need to save a little. The leeward slope could not be found, and it would be cold at night vigil. Lao Du fiddled with the fire-making utensils in his hand, making the flames slowly grow, and at the same time analyzed Chen Senran in a flat tone, "In addition, you have been here, you should know what danger there will be at night, right?" The last sentence of this is addressed to Carl, and it is honestly and unkindly.
Chen Senran touched his nose and didn't speak, just nodded to Lao Du, and sat down cross-legged. He ignored one thing, Lao Du is also very mysterious, he just made a series of analyses, and he is very professional......
It seems that there is a high probability that he used to be a soldier......
"This ...... I really don't know, I've only been here for two days, and after one night, last night I found a relatively large tree to sleep on, and there was no fire, so it didn't seem to be a problem......" Carl said as if reminiscing, his tone was uncertain.
"Yes." Lao Du said this, noncommittal, "Then someone must keep vigil tonight, and I can keep watch for half the night." The meaning of this sentence is that he will sleep in the second half of the night.
You're really honest...... Chen Senran tugged at the corners of his mouth, and his perception of this old guy who was driving the car dropped again.
"I'll keep watch for the rest of the night." Chen Senran said before Carl, it's not that he suddenly became a lot more enthusiastic, it's just that he doesn't worry about putting his safety in the hands of outsiders.
"Isn't that okay?" Carl objected, "I've already troubled you to take me on the road, so why are you embarrassed to let Mr. Chen Senran keep vigil again?" I'll do it anyway. ”
"Mr. Karl is so polite." Chen Senran laughed, rushing to keep vigil, this attitude is really hard to distinguish between true and false, "It's better like this, how about we keep the second half of the night together?" There is also a response. Chen Senran took a step back, wanting to see how the other party reacted.
"That's fine, it's very lonely to keep a vigil alone to be honest." When he said the word lonely, Carl bit it very hard, as if he hated these two words to death.
Chen Senran smiled, there was no flaw...... It seems that Evelyn can only be counted on to give herself some ideas.
Thinking like this, Chen Senran stood up and began to walk towards the carriage, saying as he walked: "On such a damp and cold night, I still need a little good wine to get by, I'll go to the carriage to get the wine." He walked unhurriedly, and he didn't look at Carl out of the corner of his eye.
He got into the carriage with a natural expression, lit the lamp in the carriage, and began to turn up the mat.
"Tell me about it." Chen Senran searched inside while riding the mat, and before setting off, he deliberately hid several bottles of Merlin Winery wine.
"I smell dead in him." Only such a treacherous and inexplicable sentence sounded in the bright carriage, and then there was no sound.
"What does it smell like the dead?" Chen Senran lifted a bottle of red wine produced in the last years of the Old World and shook it, the crimson wine was charming and bloody in the warm light.

I'm tired. Slept.
Damn it...... I forgot one thing, today is the little girl's birthday...... Happy birthday. All is well.
