Yao Qianwen's personality switched so that the cellar of the villagers' residence was discovered by us. That's exactly what he's trying to hide from us. There were huge iron cages, chains, and leftovers in the cellar, but there were no prisoners, or monsters. And this was something that even the villagers themselves did not expect.

To be sure, Jingye must have been here, but when he came, it was difficult to say what the state of the detained thing was. And the fact that Silent Night came here and disappeared is probably related to that thing.

Looking at the villagers' expressions, I believe that he was completely unaware of the scratches left by the silent night, because he had no idea when the things locked up below had gone missing.

But there was one thing he should know.

"Who was locked up here?" I asked.

The man didn't answer my words, just looked at the picture in front of him stupidly, muttering intermittently, "You...... Where have you been? You...... You can't go, you're gone...... That's it......"

Instead of dwelling on the previous question, I followed his fears and asked, "Why is it over?" Who's finished? ”

"We ...... We're all done. It needs him...... So he can't go......"

"Who needs him?" I continued to ask.

"Shui ......" He only mentioned one word, his eyes suddenly became hideous, and he struggled hard, trying to get rid of my control, but the power of an ordinary person couldn't do it at all, and he began to scold me: "It must be you again!" You plague god!! It's all you who caused it, you first turned my son into a madman, and now ...... Now you're going to harm our divine water again! I, I ......"

He may have wanted to say something like "kill me", but his mind didn't have a complete concept of death.

"I turned your son into a madman?" But what I care more about is this sentence.

In fact, he is a madman, and everyone in this village has become crazy because of the incomplete concept, so the madman in his mouth is probably a normal person.

That is to say, because of the arrival of the man before me, his son has returned to normal, or rather, his son will not be affected by the pool of waters, and will not lose his desires, hopes, and pains from that time.

So......

"It's your son who is locked up here?"

"You put him ...... Where did you get him?!! He yelled at me.

"What do you say you need your son, why is your son gone, and 'you' are all finished? When you say 'you', do you mean the villagers? ”

Unfortunately he could not answer me, as if he could no longer think normally, but kept asking me what had happened to his son, and cursing me for being a plague god.

Helplessly, I could only knock him unconscious, and the quiet environment was conducive to thinking.

"What do you think?" I turned my gaze to the side.

Yao Qianwen pointed at herself, "Me? My Yao Qianwen, it's already dawn uncle! ”

"Sorry to interrupt." I waved my hand.

"Hey, uncle, tell me what happened last night? Why are your clothes in tatters, and there is blood, and you have encountered monsters? These two look strange, they don't panic when they see you alienated, and their ability to accept them is quite strong! ”

"They're bugs too."

"Oh roar?" Yao Qianwen raised her eyebrows, smiled dryly at Tian Zhenhao and the others, turned around and continued to chatter beside me: "The little monster is lost?" ”

"Hmmm......"

"How did you lose it?"

"I want her to keep track of me."

"But tracking, why did you track it to the cellar?"

I stopped looking around.

It's not because Yao Qianwen mutters that it's annoying, but because her words remind me. The entrance to this cellar is difficult to find, and Jingye came to follow the villagers, so there is no such thing as following the villagers to their residences and rummaging around. There was no way she could have discovered the cellar, and even if she did, she wouldn't have gone in for no reason. She knew I was in a hurry, so she would definitely come back to me as soon as possible.

So what's stopping the action of Silent Night?

It should be a person who knew about the existence of the cellar in advance, and only then would he enter the cellar in the quiet night. Villagers? It's possible for the villagers here, but from what they just observed in the trees, these people are not strange people except for the loss of some of their desire and pain, and at first glance, no one can threaten the silent night.

And the only thing that could be called a sign of fierce resistance was a scratch on the edge of the cellar. So at least before entering the cellar, Jingye did not resist, that is, she entered the cellar without the threat of force, so why did Jingye be obedient?

Unless, the man who took her to the cellar, she recognized.

There are only a handful of people who know you in the quiet night.

So......

"It's Mina." I looked at the scratch.

Although Silent Night has never seen Mina herself, the phantom in the labyrinth is the same as Mina's appearance, and Silent Night knows that Mina is someone I really want to find and is very important to me. She may have a bad impression of Mina, but at least she won't be hostile, and if Mina made up a reason to let Silent Night enter the cellar, she had no reason to refuse.

It's just that what happened in the cellar made Silent Night want to escape?

It must have been a terrifying scene, and when Silent Night saw it, she knew that she was probably powerless against it......

Is that Mina, or is it the villager's son?

"What's wrong with Sister Mina?"

"I don't know, but it looks like she probably doesn't want me to be sneaky and wants me to make things bigger."

"Huh? Uncle, what are you talking about, what kind of love and killing methods do you have? ”

"Gather the villagers, since you don't want me to hide, then come clearly."

I don't know exactly what Mina wants to do, but it seems that what is happening now is also in her plan, and for now, I can't get any more information from this one villager, so I can only make things bigger.

These villagers hated me very much, and when they saw me again, they were armed with all kinds of weapons, but under my alienated and terrifying appearance, they finally began to communicate peacefully. The one I was talking to was the elder face, who seemed to be the leader here.

And the place where we talked was the cellar where the people were locked up.

He never dared to open his eyes to me, bowed his head, and told me what he knew about nine months ago. We still came to find a woman's memories, but after we came, we were busy.

At that time, a boy's mother had just died, and he was so sad that he should go to the pool to drink water and forget the pain. But the boy was different from the other villagers. Maybe it's because of his youth, in the old days, he lived carefree, the child was very innocent, there weren't too many unattainable desires, and there was no pain, he had never drunk the pool water, even his mother was seriously ill, he was very sad, he would pretend to be happy in front of his mother, just to not make his mother more painful.

When his mother died, his pent-up emotions finally exploded, however, he didn't want to drink the water, he once asked his father, and the elders of the village, after drinking the water, his mother could play with him again, cook him love food, tell him stories, and put him to sleep?

The answer is conceivable, it doesn't exist, it's just that it won't be sad like this anymore.

So he ran away, he refused to drink the water, he said that he forgot the pain, and he would forget the love that his mother gave him......

That child was the man in the cellar.

He met me, and the man who had come with me to the village. The villagers didn't know what the man had done to the child, but they knew that after that encounter, even if the child was forcibly fed water, even if the child had told the water against his will that he wanted to forget the pain, the pool of water still could not erase the pain.

The villagers regarded the child as a monster and a madman, but they did not imprison him at first, until about three months ago, when one day the child suddenly became strange, screaming and smashing, growing hair on his body, and becoming stronger than an adult.

Because of the perennial escapism under the influence of the pond water, the village that seems to be a paradise is actually imprisoned and very closed, and they have no concept of illness treatment in their minds at all, and everything is forgotten by the pond water. So, no one knew what to do with the child's situation, and in desperation, the child's father had no choice but to imprison him in the cellar.

But the child's condition is getting worse and worse, and he grows very fast, and in these three months, he has grown to the form of an adult, with more strength and longer hair, like an unfully evolved wild man.

In the recent night, the villagers began to have strange dreams, everyone was the same, in the dream, a voice came from under the pool, telling them that the child was an evil spirit, and that there would be no day of peace in the village if he existed for a day, and soon, the pool would lose its effect of erasing the pain, all of which were traps set by the two people who had been here before, just to destroy the pool.

And the only way to save these is to throw the child into the pool of water on the fifteenth day of the month, the night of the full moon, and purify it into a clean corpse.

"You believe it?" I asked.

"For ...... Why don't you believe it, everyone dreams of ......"

"The night of the full moon is tonight." I asked again.

The elders in the village nodded, "Yes......"

I smiled coldly, "Three months ago, the child began to grow hair, and recently the pond water 'dreamed' at night, and I came to this village on the eve of the full moon night. ”

All this is really coincidental.

I don't know why the pond water makes people forget their desires and pains, but the change in the child's appearance and the so-called "dream" seem to have been prepared for me.

And the person who prepared all this, if I guessed correctly, probably wouldn't be wrong, she was Mina.

I think Mina was probably curious about what I had been here to forget, and that's why she had it all for me.

As for the silent night, it may have been a windfall for her.

After all this, this time my opponent is finally you, my love.

I took out my phone at this time and found a photo of Mina, but unfortunately I liked her side face too much, so I didn't have a frontal photo, but it probably didn't affect the recognition. I showed the picture to the village elders: "Have you ever seen this woman, or, for me, ask any of you here who have seen her in recent months." ”

She ...... I don't remember her, we haven't had any outsiders here lately, we ......"

I shook my head: "I like to escape from reality, even if I don't have that pool of water, there will be other ways, no one can save this kind of thing." So I'm not going to do anything with that pool of water at all. You don't need to hide it. ”
