Chapter 219: Cellar Demon
The Lost Girl's dry well is located in the northwest corner of the old town of Trisham, which is almost in ruins due to the presence of the ghost girl and the townspeople are afraid to come back and rebuild their houses. And the little girl's home was near the dry well, closest to the defensive wall.
The anguished woman was the little girl's mother, she was not crazy, but she was crying and crying so inarticulate that the townspeople mistakenly thought that she was crazy, and she was forcibly dragged away by the townspeople several times, and she did not dare to come to the dry well again, so she could only hide in the newly built house alone at night, and weep alone.
Under the persuasion of Ayaka Otoshi, after the girl's mother explained the general situation, Haoran and the others followed her to the long-abandoned home.
The exterior of the house was still intact, except for the broken doors and windows, and some of the broken wooden floors still had congealed bloodstains, and the corpses must have been gathered and burned by the townspeople.
"Let's look for it separately, so it's quicker...... Ayaka, you are with the child's mother! Haoran stood at the door, glanced at the dilapidated house, and said to everyone.
"Good!" Everyone answered, and went into the house, looking for it without stopping.
The room was covered in cobwebs and a thick layer of dust had accumulated on almost all of the wooden furniture. Haoran looked around, walked into a room, and glanced at the layout of the room, which looked like a children's bedroom. Because both the bed and the chair look smaller than the outside, and there are even some worn rag dolls neatly placed at the head of the bed.
It looks like their original owners should have cherished them. But by this time, the bodies of these rag dolls were already covered with dust.
Walked to the side of the bed and looked carefully at the rag dolls one by one. They are supposed to be hand-sewn and finely made, but they don't have the bears that the little girl said. Sighing, Haoran searched for other places in the room, but still found no trace of the bear doll.
In desperation, he had no choice but to leave the room first and return to the hall. And this is the rest of the people who have returned.
"How? …… Did you find it? Although he saw that everyone was empty-handed, Haoran still asked with some expectation.
"The kitchen, the hallway, everything I could find. I didn't see any bear dolls either! Yilan glanced at Joshua beside him, and after seeing him shake his head, he said to Haoran.
"The living room, the yard, also rummaged. Didn't find ...... either," Komak said, shaking his head.
"So do we. We've even looked for it under the bed in the bedroom......" Ayaka Otonashi said, standing beside the little girl's mother, shaking her head and sighing.
"Isn't it, where have we forgotten? The little girl clearly said that the little bear was at home......" Haoran frowned, sighed, and muttered to himself.
Hearing this, the little girl's mother's eyes suddenly turned red, her body couldn't help but tremble, and her shoulders shrugged and sobbed. Apparently she thought of her poor daughter again, and her heart was grieved. I couldn't help crying.
Ayaka's face turned pale in an instant, and she glanced at Haoran with extreme resentment, and then walked to the girl's mother's side, constantly comforting her.
Seeing Ayaka's actions and face, Haoran suddenly remembered the story she had told herself before.
The little girl who loved her mother deeply, but watched her mother die in front of her. It is not difficult to imagine that the little girl should be Ayaka Otono herself, and the mother who lost her beloved daughter in front of her is very similar to the story of Ayaka Otono, but the position of the mother's death has been reversed, and it is no wonder that Ayaka Otono's face suddenly turned pale.
Moreover, the parrot Lingxiang's attitude towards this mother, and the gentle performance of the little girl, are in great contrast with her previous image, and it turns out that the reason for everything is that story, because it is the real experience of Ayaka Otono when she was young.
Haoran's apologetic eyes stared at Otono Ayaka's cheeks, and he was silent for a long time.
It's not appropriate to say anything now, and Hao Ran also doesn't know what to say, so he can only bury that apology deep in his heart, staring at the bewitching and miserable face of Ayaka Otomi.
Joshua and Ilan also seemed to notice the change in Haoran's expressions, and they didn't speak in a very interesting way, but Komak kept looking around the room, as if thinking about something. After a while, I saw his eyes light up, and he suddenly ran out of the room and walked into the courtyard, but after a while, his voice came from the courtyard.
"Come out and have a look...... I said, I just forgot something! ”
Hearing Koumako's words, Haoran suddenly came back to his senses, handed Otono Ayaka an inquiring look, and after seeing her nod, he walked out of the house quickly and came to Koumarco's side.
"What did you find?" Haoran asked suspiciously.
"Look at that!" Komako said, gesturing to a corner of the house.
Turning his head, he saw that in the corner of the house, a low wall more than half a meter high was built on the ground, and the low wall was close to one of the walls of the house at a 30-degree angle, and there was a dilapidated wooden door on top of the low wall.
"It's ...... The entrance to the cellar of the storage room! Children's dolls probably won't be in the pantry! That's right, what Haoran saw was the cellar used by farmers to store grain during the European Middle Ages, and it is said that the storage rooms of many European families are still built this way.
When the two of them were talking, Ayaka Otomu and the others also came over, and when the girl's mother saw the cellar, she seemed to think of something, her body trembled violently, and she cried and said: "When Lisa was young, she always liked to run to the cellar and be alone in a daze, and she always liked to hold her favorite bear......"
"Maybe her bear is in the cellar, let's go in and find out!" Ayaka Otona's face finally recovered a little, and with a hint of anticipation on her cheeks, she said slowly.
"Good! Let's go in and find out! Komak nodded, walked to the entrance of the storage room, and reached open the old wooden door.
"Squeak!"
The sound of grinding teeth was heard suddenly, puffs of dust slowly fell as the wooden door opened, and a foul smell of decay poured out of the cellar, and Komac felt only a disgusting smell come to his face.
"Wait...... There seems to be something inside! Very evil aura......" Hao Ran frowned, and hurriedly reminded.
"Roar!"
As soon as the words fell, an angry roar came out of the cellar, and a powerful evil aura swept over! (To be continued......)
