Chapter 34: Found You
Like catkins raised in the wind, but with a kind of bewitching glimmer.
Rin Rin's eyes were quick, and he grabbed the silky object, but there was a sudden numbness in his palm.
This thing is somewhat familiar, as if it has been seen somewhere.
Rin Rin recalled the touch, and suddenly it occurred to her that this was the spiritual thread that floated in from the inn on the first night they had arrived in this village.
I think back to the music that came from nowhere, and the exact silk thread. Rin Rin thought he had made a decision.
But that's not enough. She also needed more, more evidence to prove that her reasoning was correct.
She slapped off the spirit silk that had long since dissolved into ashes in her palm, and poked her head out of the window again. "Talos, I'm going down."
With that, he jumped down from the window.
The long hair fluttered in the air and fell into Talos's arms.
"Did you find anything?"
"Well, it's probably not that simple."
As she spoke, Rin Rin's gaze wandered around for a moment, her memory was not bad, and although it was late at night, she should be able to find a few other villagers' homes where they had lost their children.
Immediately, she jumped out of Talos's arms, and the two went straight to another villager's house.
But the remnants of this spiritual power were only left by accident after all, and if it weren't for the stuffed doll, she wouldn't have had a chance to find out.
It's just that now it's too slow for two people to find a family.
At this rate, even if you have to find the dawn, you may not be able to search all the rooms.
Although she was a little uneasy, Rin still felt that it was best to act separately from Talos in order to improve her efficiency.
So she took out the notebook she had with her from her pocket, drew a simple map, and handed over the residence on the east side of the village to Talos to handle, while she went to the west side to find it.
After all, that kind of spiritual power silk thread has a faint fluorescent flicker, which is easy to distinguish in a pitch-black environment. As long as this guy doesn't alarm the villagers, there must be no danger.
Looking at the back of Talos leaving, Rin only felt that she was like a worried old mother at this time.
After much thought, she suddenly stopped Talos. "Remember, if you're discovered, don't do anything, just run!"
Rin looked at her with blazing eyes, and the hand attached to Talos's shoulder unconsciously used force.
That's right, as long as you run fast enough, no one will be able to catch him!
Rin Rin, who has lived alone all year round, has always known this.
After that, the two soldiers split into two roads and began to investigate one by one in the room of the lost child.
If most of the children's rooms have spiritual threads of the same substance, then as long as they wait for the opportunity and look for the breath of that silk thread, they will naturally be able to find the missing children.
It's just that these things seem to be reasonable, but if you tell the villagers directly, they will definitely not believe it, and they may even suspect that she has forged the clues.
Rin searched a few rooms, not all of them, but there were always a few accidents left behind that she could follow.
Suddenly, the familiar music sounded again. In this silent late night, it seems exceptionally clear, even somewhat pleasant.
Rin immediately became vigilant and jumped down from the window, looking up at the night sky.
The bright eyes narrowed into a narrow slit, trying to capture the slender spiritual silk in this dark night.
Sure enough, as the long music gradually spread, the faintly flickering thin line finally appeared.
But that line is not one, but countless stars like silver threads in the night sky, converging into a shining scene like a galaxy.
There are several objects of different shapes and the size of sesame seeds hanging on the silk thread, and it seems that it is because of their entanglement and collision that they make this pleasant sound.
The music was sometimes sweet, sometimes crisp, and sometimes desperate, as if it wanted to break free, and roared sharply.
It is like an elf singing demagogic songs on a flowery meadow, leading people to the flowers step by step, and finally to the road of extinction.
Rin felt that she had been listening for too long, and her head was getting more and more dizzy.
Even hallucinations began to appear in front of my eyes.
The consciousness is becoming more and more blurred, but there is still a trace of lucidity in his heart, and he keeps telling himself not to be controlled by this voice.
Rin held on to his last sanity, shook his head, and pulled out a knife from his waist. I almost didn't think about it, and I made a cut in my palm!
The blade wasn't fast, but because of the weight of her hand, blood was dripping down the blade in an instant.
It hurts, but it also makes her sober up.
This knife was bought when I bought oranges, and by the way, I bought it at the vendor's uncle's side in exchange, I thought it was a convenient way to cut some fruit, but I didn't think that it would come in handy in this safe area where you can't use spiritual power casually.
However, now is not the time to stay here, and Rin Rin wanted to cut off this charming spiritual power thread so that no one would be tricked again.
No, before she could make a move, I saw a few children who were only about five or six years old walking towards her under the candle lights not far away, as if they were sleepwalking.
The children in front of me were wearing pajamas, and some of the little girls were holding plush dolls in their hands.
Wobbly, like sleepwalking.
They walked past Rin and didn't even look at her.
No, it's not.
The children all looked straight ahead with their eyes open. But on their immature faces, there was no anger at all.
It's like a humanoid doll that has lost its soul. Just keep going, even if Rin stops them, shakes them slightly, or talks to them. The children remained indifferent.
At the same time, Talos also found the same anomaly during the investigation.
Talos was struggling to look at the map Rin had drawn for him, and the rough lines that were difficult to distinguish between the front and the back, the left and right, no matter how he turned around, he didn't feel right.
It was not easy to find two families, but there was no trace of what Rin said.
But just as he was about to go to the next house, he saw a little boy in a house beside him, who was carefully climbing out of his window with a rope tied to his bed.
Then he tugged hard, took the rope down again, and discarded it in the trash can on the side.
Immediately afterward, the little boy staggered in one direction as if he were out of the world.
And I don't know if it's because of the lack of spiritual power, or if I have gathered enough children tonight, the music stopped abruptly, and only the silk threads that flickered with a little fluorescence were still fluttering in the air in the wind.
Talos once again sensed the familiar aura from the spiritual power in the air.
Since there are children slipping away under his nose, there is no longer much point in investigating. Talos weighed between the two, and finally went with the little boy.
Rin followed the children all the way to a riverbank outside the village, which was close to the edge of the village. If you go deeper, I'm afraid you'll be out of the protective scope of the barrier.
The silk threads hanging in the air have begun to fall, like flowers withering in a winter night.
The little objects that make noises when they collide have been dropped along the way. And those thin lines fell on the children as if they were seated.
From a distance, they look like unpolished, tiny marionettes.
Rin Rin picked up a small part that had fallen from the silk thread the size of a grain of rice and gathered from the spiritual power, and carefully observed it in the palm of his hand.
But I couldn't see the mystery for a while, but when I felt that this thing was alone, the sound was a thin nymph, which made people sound very unpleasant.
But if there are countless things that are similar but not the same in appearance, it will be wonderful to make people feel like a sweet dream.
In the middle of the embankment is an old bridge, which seems to be a bit crumbling due to disrepair.
The children walked slowly across the bridge, holding hands.
Seeing this, Rin also hurriedly followed, but before crossing the bridge, she also kept an extra eye on it, leaving some traces in several places nearby.
Although the children in front of them did not walk fast, they crossed the embankment and were at the edge of the bushy forest. For Rin, who is not familiar with the terrain, he may lose it if he is not careful.
When passing through the forest path, the tiny barbs on the bushes always scrape on the cold clothes.
A good piece of clothing was soon scratched with countless threads, and Rin Rin only felt that her heart was dripping blood.
She had thought about the countless things that would consume the fastest and often need supplies after becoming a magic envoy.
For example, medicine kits, and pocket dry food. I didn't expect it, but in fact, the most serious wear and tear should be the clothes!
Heartache, the children had taken her out of the woods.
Finally, after taking a detour around the path, I finally came to a huge cave embedded in a mountain stream that was already on the edge.
This time, Rin didn't follow, but hid behind a rock big enough for her to hide.
She watched as the children walked into the cave one by one, and the threads that were attached to them were also withdrawn and dissolved the moment they entered the cave.
Who drew these children here, and for what purpose?
Rin couldn't figure it out for a while, but she didn't dare to act rashly.
But one thing she was sure of was that in this small village that had been designated as a safe zone, and Hai used his spiritual power so unscrupulously, and he knew the terrain very well.
Then, it must be from this village.
She quietly took a few steps back, now that she knew where the children were, she had to hurry back and inform the others.
I am not in a hurry to clarify my innocence, for fear that if there is anything dangerous in the cave, those children will be in danger.
However, just as Rin turned around to make sure she was keeping a safe distance from the entrance of the cave and was about to leave quickly, a strong wind suddenly struck behind her!
"I was able to find this place." A voice suddenly came out, as if it was mixed with the wind, and it seemed to be everywhere.
But due to the strong wind, Rin Rinqiang walked a few steps before he half-leaned on a tree trunk.
The night breeze was cold to the bone, more like a blade with a thin blade hidden, making her feel bursts of stinging pain coming from all over her body.
Rin wanted to speak, but before she could make a sound, a mouthful of cold wind was poured into her mouth, and she didn't make a sound in the end.
Suddenly, a dark shadow came at her!
Under the pressure of the wind, it was very difficult for her to move flexibly. But the danger that was too clear was approaching, but she forced her to move forcefully.
Rin quickly crouched down and rolled to her left with a sharp touch on the ground.
And almost at the moment when she dodged and dodged, she saw that a boulder had already smashed her against the trunk of the tree she had just leaned on, and it was hard to break.
