Yan Li knew what that meant, and she tried to calm down and not be afraid. She didn't cry or run away in a panic, but slowly retreated to the window, trying to open it.

"Giggle...... Little girl, your boyfriend is so powerful, since he has driven me to a dead end, I have to find someone to accompany the funeral, he never dreamed that the sewers of this inn and the river are actually connected, and the people in this inn are the food in my belly! Haha, haha! ”

The doll's body began to twitch, liquid poured out of its mouth, and the room began to fill up......

Eight years later, all the dead at the Storm Inn, as well as Elbert and the shopkeeper who were attacked, all died of mysterious drowning and suffocation in a dry room. At this moment, Yan Li finally came up with a reasonable explanation, because this inn had already become a part of this river, or this evil thing!

The window obviously couldn't be opened, and Yan Li didn't escape to the door, because she understood that it was a wasted effort, and she could only pray, praying that Wang Xu and Elbert could rush back to save her before she was drowned.

Just when the blood was about to flood Yan Li's neck, I only heard a "bang", the door was broken from the outside, and I don't know where the shopkeeper got a big axe to chop wood, broke the door lock from the outside, and then kicked the door open.

Strange to say, when the door was closed, the room seemed to be sealed, as if there was no gap that could leak out of the water, but as soon as the door was broken, the water level receded very quickly, and in an instant it flowed clean, and I don't know where it flowed.

"Little girl, all the people in the inn are dead! Run with me! The shopkeeper said and stretched out his hand.

Yan Li had just been fished out of the water at the moment, shivering from the cold, only to feel that the chill had not disappeared at all, she answered, and walked towards the shopkeeper, but when she was about to stretch out her hand, she felt that something was wrong, and the evil thing just now appeared in Yan Li's mind again.

"I had to find someone to accompany me...... The people in this inn are my food......"

Yan Li retreated to the window again: "You are not the shopkeeper!" ”

The evil creature laughed, still gurgling in his throat, and he waved the axe in his hand, "That's smart...... I can't fool you......" The disguise on his body faded and turned into a pile of rotting garbage in the form of a human, and his head was still the same broken doll.

Yan Li only felt scared at this point, if he was tricked just now, it would not be as simple as dying and destroying his soul, if he agreed to go with it, his soul would fall into the hands of this evil thing, and then this evil thing would have a bargaining chip to negotiate with Wang Xu.

"In that case, you should die!"

One of its arms flashed with a strange red light, stretching out several feet and pinching Yan Li's neck.

The feeling of suffocation came quickly, and Yan Li's neck bone could no longer withstand the force, and it was about to be broken soon.

"Ah!!h The monster let go of its hand with a sudden scream, and the red light on its arm disappeared in an instant.

The strange face of the broken doll couldn't tell what the expression was, and it trembled and said, "This can't be...... It couldn't be ......."

Wang Xu's back appeared in front of Yan Li, and the cold and lonely voice sounded like a distant melody: "Don't touch this woman with your dirty hands." ”

Elbert's figure also appeared at the door of the room at this time, blocking the monster's retreat from behind, but the old man's face didn't seem to be very good, and he looked like he was about to vomit......

After seeing Wang Xu, Yan Li's whole person collapsed, she knew in her heart that she was safe at the moment, and she was on the verge of suffocation several times and finally fainted.

Wang Xu caught the fallen Yan Li, and let his cold body lean against his arms, he was also relieved, but fortunately, he still rushed back in time.

"Why...... How could you possibly come back here so soon......"

Wang Xu looked back at the monster: "Is this the last thing you want to talk about?" ”

This rag doll also knew that Wang Xu would not give it a second chance to transfer its true body, so all it could do was fight to the death.

All the red light gathered on its body, this was all its power, the resentment that had accumulated over the years, the necromancers that had been consumed by it, and the power of those distorted beliefs, all pinned on this blow!

But it couldn't do it after all......

Wang Xu only took a second to grasp this broken doll with one hand, so strong that the irresistible spiritual power restricted all the actions of this rag doll, at this moment, it was just a useless doll, as long as Wang Xu moved, it would completely disappear from this world.

"yes...... It's still the same...... Even if I've done so many things, I'm still like this, just a useless, toy at the mercy of others......"

In the last moments of its life, it said this to itself.

It still remembers its first owner many years ago, and it grew up with this little girl, who it thought would always cherish like a companion, but it was wrong.

It is abandoned, and a person discarding a thing, how ordinary a thing, how easy.

But for this rag doll, this is a betrayal.

It was picked up by a down-and-out tailor, mended and given to his child, and it had a new owner, a new memory, but a few years later, it had a new betrayal.

After more than two hundred years, it is no longer an ordinary doll, its appearance can remain shiny forever, even if it is abandoned, it can be easily discovered, it has learned everything it can do, but it does not understand why no one has ever really embraced it.

It has grown up with many children, brought them joy, but in the end it is betrayed, and it does not understand why humans are such a heartless thing.

It wants to become a human being, maybe so that it can be accepted, so that it can have a real, eternal home.

I think it succeeded because it learned human ruthlessness.

It devours the soul of man, it grows stronger, it feels so good that no one can betray it anymore, but it betrays humanity before it happens, and it is in this cycle of revenge that it feels that it is a human being, and that those human beings are its toys.

In fact, this doll never knew that the moment it learned to think for itself, it was no longer a toy......

People grow up, and they can't remember when their favorite childhood toys were discarded, and how many of their friends who once swore to be partners for the rest of their lives are still around.

It's not toys and companions that we're throwing away, it's childhood. The price of growing up is to learn to live with a mask from now on.

In fact, we only betrayed ourselves......

The doll in Wang Xu's hand was crushed into powder by his spiritual power, all hallucinations disappeared, and the room returned to its original state, and the guests next door could be heard poking their heads out and scolding in the hallway, and the shopkeeper was explaining to them the constant noise here.

Elbert still couldn't help but vomit on the ground, the speed at which Wang Xu pulled him to run just now was even more exaggerated than the downhill of a roller coaster, and he actually couldn't hold it anymore.

Wang Xu looked at Yan Li who was leaning on his arms and sighed deeply.

He looked up at Elbert and said, "I don't think we'll ever see each other again." ”
