The surrounding fog dissipated as the night disappeared, as if it had returned to the original peaceful bushes.

In the formation on the ground, there was nothing at this time.

There was only a roll of silver silk thread, which flickered and shimmered under the moon.

Rin was half-leaning into Talos's arms, her hands obscuring all her vision.

Only the terrible cry flashed in her ears, and even if she didn't see anything, she knew what was happening.

The wind blew through the bushes, making a rustling sound.

Not only is the presence of Yeren gone, but the familiar aura that Talos has been chasing all the way is also gone.

I didn't get any clues, I didn't have time to ask anything, and it was over.

And the silk threads in the formation also dissolved into fine sand with the wind, and there was no trace.

Talos lowered his hand, his original grim expression seemed to soften for a moment, and his arms wrapped around Rin, "Why don't you wait for me and run to this place alone." ”

“…… Hurt. Rin frowned, the wounds all over his body, just being touched lightly by Talos, he felt a tingling pain.

A heart has not yet recovered from that fear.

Seeing this, Talos hurriedly let go of his hand, Rao is face, which rarely changed expression, and it was obviously a little nervous at the moment.

"Let's go back to the village, there is a doctor there, at least we can take care of your wounds first." He held Rin in his arms.

But Rin suddenly reached out and grabbed the hem of Talos's clothes, "Don't go back yet, I've found those lost children." And the curator, he can't be let go! ”

"Curator?"

Rin nodded, and told Talos what she had seen and everything she had just experienced.

It's just that now that Yeren is gone, I don't know what the curator's purpose is, and what happened to those children.

Along the way, Rin leaned quietly into Talos's arms. The long hair that had been tied up had fallen apart during the battle with Yaren and hung down on Talos's arm.

She closed her eyes, and clearly felt that her heartbeat had gradually calmed down from the violent restlessness just now.

In the embrace where he didn't feel the temperature, and even a little cool, Rin Rin unexpectedly felt a little relieved.

"How did you find this place, I obviously didn't ......"

Obviously, he didn't use the power of the contract seal.

Rin didn't say this, not because she didn't want to use the power of the contract seal, or because she was afraid of the painful process of overloading her body after each use.

Only at that moment, her consciousness was all occupied by the slaughter of the Ren clan on Chinese New Year's Eve.

It was a bloody past for her, and she had completely forgotten that she was now accompanied by Talos.

Talos seemed to see that she wanted to speak and stopped, his eyes were just fixed on the wounds on her body, and after her pale face that had not yet recovered, he said lightly, "Next time, you can't act alone." ”

These words pierced Rin Rin's ears, and she couldn't help but want to laugh for a while, but she was choked back by the pain all over her body.

Didn't she keep this sentence on her lips before, telling Talos not to cause trouble for herself. Why did this guy learn so fast that he actually taught her a lesson in turn.

Seeing that Rin Rin didn't look serious, Talos also retracted his gaze, and Rin Rin's slightly relaxed expression now looked much better than just now.

Originally, Talos had just followed the little boy who had climbed out of the window all the way to this side.

It's just that I don't know why on the way, the little boy hesitated in place for a long time as if he had suddenly lost his direction, and finally fell to the ground and fell asleep again.

Talos stared at him from a distance for a few moments, making sure that the child had no intention of getting up, before he went over and picked him up.

Perhaps, this kid is just sleepwalking?

In fact, as a puppet, Talos doesn't understand the so-called 'human' behavior pattern in his heart. After thinking about it for a while, I decided to send him home.

Today's climate is already a little cold at night.

He sent the boy home the way he came, jumped up to the little attic of the house, a little higher, and laid him into bed before leaving.

It wasn't until he had done all this that he remembered the time he had made with Rin, and that he hadn't gone to anyone else's house to investigate clues.

He hurried to the place where he had made an appointment to meet Rin and exchange clues, but as he passed by the grove at the edge of the village, he felt a strong wind coming.

In that gust of wind, there was more than one person's spiritual power. And more importantly, it also contained a dignified aura of spiritual power, and Talos went straight to the woods.

It's just that the spiritual power is flickering and unstable. Sometimes it's strong, sometimes it's so faint that it's almost hard to catch.

It took many detours before Talos finally found the depths of the bushes, shrouded in a thick fog.

But what he saw was an extremely dangerous scene.

He didn't dare to imagine what would have happened if he had been a little late......

Following Rin's instructions, Talos carried Rin all the way through the bushes to the mouth of the cave where the children were housed.

The surroundings were silent, and there were still traces of crutches and footprints of different shades on the ground.

The two of them stood outside the cave, only to feel the occasional breeze blowing from inside.

Rin Steadied herself, wondering whether she should go back and call the other villagers first, or go in and find out first.

If she returned to the village, would those people believe her words?

And are the children safe now, or are they in danger?

A series of questions swirled in Rinrin's mind.

In the end, she decided to let her go in first, after all, the safety of the children is the most important thing, and they can't afford to wait.

But just as one of her feet was about to step into it, Talos suddenly stretched out his hand to stop her, "You wait here, I'll go." ”

Rin pushed his hand away and forced a smile, "When will you start to be the master of my master." ”

Talos was speechless, he knew that there was a stubbornness and unyielding strength in Rinrin's bones.

But when he saw Rin trembling for the first time, and the application that burst out of his heart with fear, he suddenly realized that Rin Rin, who had always been strong, had such a vulnerable side.

Seeing that Talos didn't have the slightest intention of giving in, Rin had no choice but to agree to the two of them going in together.

The cave seemed to be deeper than expected, with occasional drops of water falling from the stone pillars overhead. Dripped into the clothes, the cold made people shiver.

I didn't go far before I saw a fork in the road.

Rin's body shifted slightly to the left, "I'll go here, Talos you go to the right." ”

"No way!" Almost without even thinking about it, I refused.

"I'll call you if there's something." Rin Rin softened her voice, she knew that her current state was not very good, but someone had to solve the problem.

Talos just had a cold face, and the face that was always with a cute expression actually looked a little domineering at this moment.

Just as the two were at a stalemate, there was a sudden crisp sound of a key landing in the depths of the intersection on the right.

"This ......"

As soon as Talos spoke, Rin suddenly covered his mouth and 'shhh

She pulled Talos to the intersection on the left, and the two of them half-crouched down and hid.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for the old curator to come out of the dark intersection on the right.

The sound of crutches touching the ground was very clear in this quiet environment, and echoed in the empty cavern.

Talos wanted to go out and knock him down, but was stopped by Rin holding on to his arm.

It wasn't until the curator walked away and couldn't hear the sound of crutches that Rin cautiously stepped out and poked the probe out to make sure it was safe.

Talos, who didn't know what he meant, also learned to look dignified, and took a few steps forward to inspect the whole hollow.

As a result, Rin grabbed his arm and dragged him directly into the path on the right.

"The old curator must have thought I was ......"

Rin paused, then changed the point of entry and continued, "He didn't have a key on him when he came out, and I guess those kids must be okay with them now." ”

As they spoke, they had come to the end of the path.

The candles on the walls are not very bright, but they are enough to illuminate the small space.

And on the wall next to the candle flame hung the keychain that Rin just mentioned. and a rusty iron door embedded in the wall.

She carefully removed the key, as if she were afraid that if she made too much noise, something would come out.

The two of them, one on the left and one on the right, opened the doors on either side of the wall.

The dull rust grinding sound came abruptly, and in this empty and silent space, Rin Rin's heart was almost tensed to the extreme.

As the door opened, I saw that in the empty inner room, several small beds stood on top of each other, and the children were lying on their own beds, sleeping sweetly on them.

Rin walked in and probed their snorts, and then touched their soft, still warm little hands, and then relieved.

She gently shook the sleeping children, only to find that although their vital signs were intact, they could not wake them up.

"Rin, look over here." At this moment, Talos, who was checking in another room, suddenly spoke, as if he had discovered something.

The rooms on both sides are structurally identical, except that as soon as Rin enters, he sees Talos carrying a child on his shoulder, and he is about to fight the second.

Rin immediately blackened, they didn't come to move rice and white noodles!

But before she could open her mouth to question Talos's actions, she saw him suddenly lift the pillow of one of the children, "This thing, should we also bring it back?" ”

Following Talos's gaze, he saw a small wooden sign placed under the pillow.

Rin recognized it at a glance that it had also appeared on the green plants that the curator had cultivated.

Later, they also checked on other people, and found that each child had such a small name tag pressed under their pillows, but they didn't know what it meant.

Suddenly, there was a rush of crutches outside the door.

Rin Rin's heart is not good, what happened to this old curator, he turned back halfway?
