prelude
Phil touched Klina lightly, needless to say, Klinanna naturally found out, Klinana smiled at Leoas and used a look, the corners of Leoyas's mouth twitched.
"Oops." Klinanna pretended to be burned by the fire, and stood up at once, followed by Leoas as well, "Go and wash it with the stream." Leoas said.
Klinganna walked behind Chadson, slammed Chadson against the fire, Leoas slashed Chadson in the neck with her sword, and after a scream, there was nothing, and the cave disappeared, all thanks to the calm.
"Whew, I'm home." Klinanna's jumping morning steps, the female ghost ship leader, was completely solved, thanks to the strength of everyone.
"I said, Xiao Hei, you sell wine and food during the day, if you are bored, take turns walking around, I'll go back." The old man disappeared with another burst of fog.
"Sister, I'm back." Klinanna kicked the door open, "Be quiet, Antonya is resting." "Olivia is drinking water.
"I think, the matter is almost solved, I think, we should go back, and I think, please help the two of you, think of a way to go back, whether it works out or not, say first, thank you." Phil said.
"How you got here, you should be able to go back." Olivia said coldly.
"It's not too late, let's go to the place where we disembark." With that, Ciri and Phil went to the same place where they had disembarked before.
"Doesn't seem like there's anything here?" Phil said, turning around and seeing a tall man in sunglasses.
The man in sunglasses said, "What are you doing here?" "The sound sounded very uncomfortable, harsh, like in an orchestra, who didn't tune in, that kind of sound, very uncomfortable to listen to, and a little hoarse.
"You're all dead, can't we go back? Or is it a condition to go back? Ciri asked the man in sunglasses, and the man in sunglasses didn't speak, but he was still the same as when he was on the boat, wearing sunglasses, a mask, very heavy gloves on his hands, and a black suit, and his whole body was tightly wrapped.
"Of course you can't go back, the matter hasn't been completed yet, according to the previous setting, you have to attend the ghost's dinner, and now it's equivalent to saying that there is a problem with the program and the rules have been broken, so, for the time being, you can't go back." At this time, another man in sunglasses appeared, but he didn't wear gloves or a mask, and he spoke with a little ups and downs, not the same as the previous person, very hoarse.
"Really? Does that mean we're going to be here for a long time? I want to know the time difference. Ciri felt a flurry of dizziness in his head, and it was strange to come, and there were obvious strangulation marks on his wrists, on both wrists.
"Here, it's the same time as outside, it's 24 hours, but the space is different, 24 hours a day here, equal to 12 hours outside, I'm the leader of this group now, you can call me Taylor, of course, that's what I said casually." The man in sunglasses said.
"Oh, so you're hungry, oh, I'm sorry, Taylor, what kind of space is this?" Phil looked at the man named Taylor said sunglasses, and didn't feel a trace of malice.
"Be careful, there's going to be a snowstorm, you look at the sky, it's almost over, this country, and those people are real, I can only tell you so much, anyway, you will still come here in the future, why are you in such a hurry to leave? Go back, really, it's winter, it's dark early, it's much colder than outside, and the country goes into winter in one night, and then there's a long winter, and it's three months, that is, you're going to take it here for at least a month and a half. Taylor, the man in sunglasses, said.
"What? It's almost New Year, okay? Regardless of whether you have money or not, go home for the New Year. "Phil was a little dissatisfied.
"Please calm down, now, it's not the New Year yet, it's still early, the students haven't had a holiday yet, what are you anxious about, okay, you go back, try to be as fast as possible, you didn't find out, after you came, the trees in the woods, the leaves have all fallen off?" Taylor urged at one point.
"Alright then, thank you, Taylor." Ciri said with a smile, and then pulled Phil and turned back.
"It's so cold, it's always so fast, like a blizzard is coming." Klinanna rubbed her hands and said.
"Clinanna, you and Leoas, go to the two of them." Olivia said, with a commanding tone. "If you don't tell me about this, I'm going to go." Leoas said, put on his heavy coat, and went out.
"It's really cold, the weather here is too weird, although I felt cool before, but it won't cool down so quickly." Phil felt very cold right now.
Ciri didn't say anything, just urged: Go faster.
Just out of the woods, it was really a long way, and the sky was slowly getting dark.
At this time, the wind blew more and more fiercely, and the hair blew up directly. I wore a coat and a cotton sweater when I went out, but it didn't seem to work at all.
"Suddenly, I noticed that your hair was split ends." Ciri laughed inwardly.
"It doesn't matter to you two, go back quickly, no matter how late it is, it snows, and you can't go back." Leoas came, but Clinanna didn't come this time.
As soon as the weather was cold, the guards of the Elric family's house also approached the sentry boxes and outposts one after another.
As soon as I got to the door, it was snowing.
Leoas opened the door and pushed Ciri and Phil inside.
"Whew, it's snowing outside, it's so cold." Leoas said, taking off her coat and hanging it on a hanger. Shaking his long golden hair, Phil still couldn't tell the difference between orange, gold and golden yellow, and what kind of brown color.
Olivia poured three times as much hot water, glanced at the three people, and said, "Let's drink some hot water to warm up first, the winter here is very cold." β
When I walked into the house, I suddenly felt that it was thawing. Phil tapped his hand on the wall.
"The walls of our buildings here are very thick, and the glass is also double-layered, very thick glass." Leoas said.
"You two come with me, change your clothes, it's very cold here, this is the clothes I asked someone to order before, you can try on the clothes." Leoas handed over two cups of hot water.
Ciri looked at Olivia, who seemed to be wearing a military uniform all along, and it looked like a denim padded jacket, and she didn't know what it was anyway.
Leoas walked into a room with Phil and Ciri, took out two sets of clothes from the cupboard, and said, "You guys try it first, which of you comes first, this set of clothes is very wearable." β
Leoas went out, and after a while, the two of them changed their clothes, and the styles and sizes of the clothes were made according to what they were wearing, but the materials might be different, and they were slightly changed.
"Look, it's not bad, my vision, I know, there will be no problem." Leoas was satisfied, feeling that the outfit was much warmer than before
It's already windy outside.
"Your Majesty, it's snowing." Lockewhite said. The long winter has arrived.
"Earns, give the order, the number of sentry posts seen at each outpost is increasing by a few shifts, and the number of patrol shifts is also increasing. It's winter. Lisa looked at the snow outside the window, falling to the ground one by one, without worry.
"Sister, it's snowing." Antonya rubbed his eyes and came out.
A snowfall begins the prelude to winter.
"I haven't seen snow for a long time, and when I was in the south, it was still raining in winter, and it was wet and cold, and it still felt like it was snowing." Antonya's tone changed, revealing a hint of happiness.
"yes." Leoas also said.
At this time, several people stopped to talk, listened quietly, and found that there was a knock on the door outside, who was it? Didn't the guards stop it?
That's impossible, there are 3 gates in a job, if there are people, it is impossible for the guards not to come to report, then who is it?
Leoas opened the door, only to find it empty and empty.
"It won't be a snow monster, I heard when I was a child that the appearance of the snow monster means that winter has come, the snow monster will knock on the door, and then eat the child, hahahaha, but it's fake, the snow monster is the incarnation of the snow elf, he will tell people that winter is coming, but it's all a trick to deceive children." Klinanna said that in the past, her father would always talk about similar things and that snow monsters would dig traps.
Actually, it's just a defensive trap, and it's really naΓ―ve to think about it now, but before I was convinced, and I said that I wanted to find out the snow monster and beat it.
It's really funny.
"You two, don't stand, come and sit." Olivia smiled.
"The winter we have here is very cold and very long, and the wind and snow weather stand for a long time." Klinanna said.
"Do you hear that? Singing, someone is singing. Ciri said, looking at the people around him, Phil also listened carefully, and the expression on his face was strange.
"I can't hear clearly. It doesn't seem to be, what you heard, could it be the wind? Phil said.
"It's strange, singing from here and there." Ciri was still thinking, hoping that he had really misheard, Phil looked at Ciri, Ciri put his hand on the table, Phil could clearly see that the two on Ciri's wrists, the traces of being strangled by the rope were still very obvious, but they were getting deeper and deeper.
Leoas was the first to notice the anomaly, because the eyes are the windows to the soul, and Ciri's eyes are hollow.
Ciri grabbed it violently, and suddenly punched Phil very hard in the heart, Klinanna was stunned, completely unaware of what was happening, Olivia looked as steady as Tarzan, and Anton Eya was still carefully observing.
For a moment, Phil only felt a little out of breath, and when Ciri raised his fist again, Leoas stopped Ciri, pressed Ciri, borrowed it, and took it out of his pocket, I don't know what to take out, on Ciri's nose, by mistake, Ciri fainted.
There are two obvious strangulation marks on the wrist, very deep. "What are you doing?" Phil asked Leoas.
"It's okay, she just fainted, otherwise it would be very troublesome to attack people indiscriminately." Leoas explained.
"Look at her wrist." Klinanna shouted.
"You can't see anything, it can't be empty, right?" Anton Erya also walked in to take a look.
"Don't move her, she's still struggling, it's a puppet thread, but when was it planted? I guess it was that time, I remembered, the time before, that stiff body. Olivia looked at the marks on Ciri's wrist.
"What do you say? What is a puppet silk thread. Phil asked.
"I've only read this in a previous book, this is a kind of thing that manipulates the human body, and it will plant silk threads that are invisible to the naked eye on other people's bodies, and when the time comes. Serve some sort of purpose. Leoas looked at Ciri, and for a moment he couldn't think of any countermeasures.
Or is it going to be done? What else can be done to solve this problem?
"Now we're not sure when she'll wake up again. I think it's more appropriate for us to take turns watching her now, after all, it looks very dangerous. Klinanna looked at Ciri with a slightly mocking tone.
"Okay, let's go out first, his heart is also suffering, I think this matter should be left to you. Just take a good look at him. Olivia said, then stood up and walked away.
"The strangulation marks on the hands are so heavy! So you have it now, right? I'm gone too. Klinanna dodged away as well. What the hell is going on? Didn't think it through?
"I said you don't have to worry about it, if he's okay, the marks on his body. Naturally, it's gone, and if it doesn't work, you just tie him up. Leoas, as she spoke, did not choose what to do.
Phil had to wait very patiently, Ciri seemed to have had a very long dream, in which he dreamed of something very special, whether he wanted to do it or not, it seemed that the ending was the same.
"What the hell is going to happen in this situation? It's really hard! There are so many things, it's really a wave of unsettled waves. It felt like his situation had come to that point. Klinanna breathed a sigh of relief.
"Just isolate them first, let's not act rashly for the time being, after all, we don't know when this puppet silk thread was planted." Olivia didn't have a very good response for a moment.
Phil looked out the window, the snow was very heavy, this winter was really strange to die, anyway, no matter what happened, she would never give up.
"I think we should, most basically, cut off the puppet thread first, so that I think it should solve the problem, but I don't know." Klinanna is speculating on a way to save her.
It feels like it's only theoretically possible, and there's no way to start at all!
"What's going on with me? So what's going on? How could I faint? Ciri opened her hazy eyes and looked at her surroundings.
"I think you're probably too tired to have anything else to do with it. Well, if you're not feeling well, take a break. Phil didn't mention that incident.
Leoas couldn't stand it anymore, and couldn't help but say, "I think he should have the right to know the truth of the matter, so it's useless." β
Ciri always felt very dizzy, as if he was tied with two ropes on his hands, and always felt that his brain would go blank from time to time.
"What's the truth? Will I tell him okay? Can you? Phil knew that Leoas was just a kind reminder.
"Stay away from me." Ciri said such a sentence, Phil was stunned for a long time when he heard this, and finally Ciri pushed Phil away.
Then he hurried out the door, but it was now snowing outside, and the moment he opened the door, he felt the cold wind pouring into the house.
Phil was just about to chase Ciri, but was stopped by Leoas reaching out, "Isn't this the time to do it?" Can you not be so rash? Let's go, we'll follow him later. Leoas picked up her clothes and left.
What the hell happened to Ciri? What's going on? He didn't say it either.
"Sister, can you see how he got out?" Antonya by the window.
"Let's leave this alone, because it's up to them to handle it. We don't have anything we can do to help, so we can only dance that sincere heart. Olivia saw Ciri in the snow.
"What the hell is going on? Don't you want to tell me about this? Do you hate me so much? Phil grabbed Ciri at once.
Ciri's eyes became very strange, "I don't know why. But now can you not come near me again? Ciri said weakly.
"Kill the person in front of you." The voice lingered all the time, lingering in Ciri's head again and again.
Ciri grabbed Phil's neck with his backhand, and Phil put his hand on Ciri's arm, indicating that he had refused to resist.
"If you want to kill me so much, then you can do whatever you want." Phil closed his eyes after saying this.
"Two stupid guys, they're really messing around. They all like to cause trouble to others. "Leoas had just arrived at this time and stopped Ciri.
Finally, Leoas cut Ciri's wrist, and blood flowed down the wound.
"It's really two stupid people, hurry up and carry him back, it's so cold outside, or he'll freeze to death in a while, don't be in a daze, hurry up." Leoas urged Fill.
"It seems that the development of things is really getting more and more interesting, such an interesting soul is not tortured without a while, it's really a loss, the show has just begun, how can the curtain be closed in such a hurry?"
