Chapter 32: A Familiar Breath
The curator searched for Talos, but finally shook his head, "Go back, there's no information about the spirit you're looking for." ”
This curator looks obviously old, if he is a little confused about his age, but his eyes are still clear. Both the speech and the walking steps are very slow. But only this one thing is said very definitely.
"How can you conclude so easily that if you're afraid we're going to spoil something here, you can watch from the sidelines."
There was obvious suspicion on Rinrin's face, because she only believed what she saw with her own eyes.
"It's not that I'm perfunctory to you, but that he doesn't have any hatred at all." The curator's wrinkled hands stroked a roster surrounded by knotted ropes.
But Rin Rin was even more puzzled by these words, "Hatred? ”
The curator suddenly laughed, as if to say, 'You children are still too young to know what kind of sinister things you have been through.'
"Now that you've found this place, I can't let you go back without clarity." The curator waved at them, motioning for Rin to follow him.
"This village is close to the twilight river, and it is naturally the most vulnerable place to be affected by the war. But even if there are countless casualties, do you think that it is so easy for spirits to be collected? ”
As they spoke, the curator had led them to a room deeper in the memorial, which contained a smaller exhibition area.
Compared to the wide variety of items outside, this is simply planted with some flowers and greenery. And on each green plant, there is something similar to a famous brand.
"Here are all the people who were expropriated from the spirits back then."
He pointed to the green plants, and it happened that a gust of morning breeze blew outside the window, bringing a gust of backyard planting, a different kind of flower fragrance in winter, but also making the small wooden signs hanging on those green plants rattle.
The knotted ropes are purifying things, and the small wooden signs are the signposts used to help them find their home.
In the Battle of Twilight River that year, it can be said that it was all thanks to the appearance of armed puppets that the battle situation was saved.
But where did so many high-quality spirits come from?
If you don't think about it, it seems that it is easy to be completely washed away by the joy that follows the victory in the war.
The old curator knew that Rin Rin was Yunyin's person, and there was nothing to hide from these things. Those spirits who have lost themselves should not be forgotten.
Therefore, the curator was blunt about this matter, and a large part of the spirits that were called 'expropriated' in the name of beauty were involuntary.
There was even a time when a large number of spirits were needed before the war to expand the military supply of armed dolls. Then some people began to forcibly capture the demon beasts and strip them of their spirit bodies.
Yun Yin naturally knew all these things, but the situation at that time didn't have time to take care of so much. I simply pretend that I don't know, as long as the result is good, it's enough.
Because of this, those spirits who were forcibly filled became victims.
They also planted hatred in their hearts, deep hatred.
And when the Battle of Twilight River finally came to an end, these already hateful battle puppets were all destroyed to prevent future troubles.
The people of the village built this memorial in order to appease what they had done and to give a home to those who had died.
So, when the old curator met Talos, he knew that his spirit was not from the village.
Don't blame him for being too arbitrary, it's just that Talos's eyes are too clear, and they don't seem to be tainted with half the purity of killing and resentment.
After hearing this, Rin looked at Talos, who was sitting on the side, who was doing nothing at the moment, teasing the bird by the window with his fingers.
The curator was right, it was unlikely that a little fool like Talos would come from such a group of resentful spirits.
The egg-yellow bird perched on Talos's fingertips, meeting the light, and his skin as white and transparent as bone china made his body look extraordinarily empty, as if it had been hollowed out.
Is this true for all armed dolls? Or is it because Talos has lost his original memory that he always shows such a look?
Rin stared at him, not looking away for a long time.
Isn't the clue that finally collected from the database broken again, this guy can't be some famous nobleman who discarded the old things he threw away after disgust, right?
Rin was thinking, but Talos happened to turn his head and meet her gaze. The eyes were clear, and I could see Rin himself, but at the same time, it looked very empty.
The bird was frightened and flew away. Talos also came to his senses, "Are you leaving?" ”
After listening to the curator talk about these old things, Rin also knew that it was useless to stay here. "Well, let's go. Maybe this village has nothing to do with you. ”
Talos leaped off the ledge, and suddenly, the familiar aura of the previous night came back to him.
The wind outside the window began to become rapid, even a little chilly.
The old curator hurriedly closed the window, for fear of hurting the greenery.
"That breath is back." Talos looked out the window, wondering if he was talking to himself or Rin.
And than the Muna of Talos, Rin Rin's reaction was much faster. After hurriedly thanking the curator, he took Talos's hand and ran out.
The wind outside was blowing without warning, as if a storm was coming.
There was a spiritual aura in the wind similar to last night, but it was difficult to capture because it was flowing too fast.
"It's the breath, isn't it?"
The wind swept through the stinging sand of the people's skin. Rin grabbed Talos' hand and walked in the direction the wind had started.
"Hmm."
Talos answered, and walked over to Rinrin, shielding her from the wind with his body.
As with last night, this breath lasted for a short time.
Soon, the gusts of wind had a noticeable tendency to become smaller. The spiritual power is also gradually weakening, and it is obvious that he is the master who controls this wind power, and he does not have too strong spiritual power background. It's only a small number of times, and in this way, I don't know what I'm doing.
They followed the fading spiritual power all the way to the edge of the village. But somehow, countless villagers suddenly poured out behind him and stopped them by force.
"Where are you two outsiders going?" One of the villagers stepped forward, his voice almost scolding.
Rin hates this kind of dictatorship, if yesterday these villagers were just wary of strangers from outside.
Well, it's already escalating to hostility.
So Rin didn't have a good attitude at the moment, "Where to go should be our freedom." ”
"It's really not up to us where you want to go, but something happened in the village last night, and we can't think of anything other than the sudden visit of you two outsiders!"
Between the words, the prisoners were almost locked on Rin and Talos.
However, the emissaries have their own set of rules, which is that they cannot injure people casually or use their power in the safe zone.
Therefore, although Rin Rin was very angry with these villagers in her heart, she didn't know what to do.
Seeing that the breath in the wind was about to disappear, she tugged at Talos's sleeve and whispered something in his ear.
It's just that after finishing speaking, Rin still looked uneasy, and dragged his hand for a long time and was reluctant to let go.
She was still afraid, afraid that once the stupid Talos was out of her control, he would be like a kite with a broken string, and he would do something stupid uncontrollably.
Talos nodded in understanding, then suddenly broke free from Rinrin's grasp and suddenly rushed out to the side!
Sure enough, the villagers were attracted by Talos's movements and chased after him.
Seeing this, Rin also quickly took action, after all, a great opportunity cannot be wasted.
As long as Talos can temporarily hold back those villagers, he can first follow the spiritual power that has not yet been dissipated, and investigate who the owner of this spiritual power is, and what does it have to do with Talos.
But she made a move, and she didn't want to be discovered by a villager who hadn't gone far yet!
He reached for Rinrin's arm, trying to stop him.
But seeing that Talos, who had not yet gone far, his eyes suddenly froze, and regardless of the taboo of being in the safety zone, he came to Rin's side in an instant.
The spiritual power in the palm of his hand was faintly released, and with a slight click, it was like a lightning bolt, and the hands that had been grabbed on Rinrin's arms and were trying to pull her over suddenly bounced away.
"No one can touch her!" Talos glared sharply at the people around him.
As soon as the spiritual power came out, the villagers became timid. Especially the man who had just been directly touched by Talos's hand and was now sitting on the ground.
Until now, my hand is still like an electric shock, and it hurts faintly.
"You, you're actually using spiritual power in the safe zone!" The villagers were still in a state of fear, and they even stammered for a while.
Rin hurriedly pushed Talos behind him to prevent him from striking again, making it difficult to clean up the matter.
And after such a toss, the gust of wind has long since dissipated.
She looked back at the place where the wind had disappeared, but it seemed that the situation in front of her was more difficult to solve than the clue that was not sure whether it existed.
Just when the two sides were at a stalemate, the old curator slowly walked out of the crowd. glanced at the person who was only bounced away by spiritual power, and only received some skin on the skin, and then looked at Rin who was surrounded by everyone, and just sighed helplessly and said, "Go back first, I will protect these two children." ”
Everyone looked at each other, but they also knew that there was no way to solve it if they persisted like this, so they simply listened to the old curator's words, stared at Rin Rin, and returned to the village.
In the cubicle in the memorial hall, the curator was fiddling with his flowers and plants, while listening to the villagers talk about what happened last night.
Only then did I know that there were several families who lost their children last night.
The children, who had been sleeping in their respective rooms, suddenly disappeared into thin air. Not only was there no trace of struggle in the room, but even the door to enter and exit was never opened.
The villagers can't find the lost child, and the only clue and suspicious object falls on Rin and Talos, two strangers who suddenly break in.
After all, they only arrived in the village yesterday, and the children disappeared the next day, and anyone else would think they were suspicious.
Therefore, even if Rin said that she and Talos had been sleeping in the hotel last night and had never left, she was so pale that no one believed the two of them at all.
In the small room, the villagers were talking nonsense.
It wasn't until the crutches were thrown down and the floor seemed to shake that the room finally regained some tranquility for the time being.
