773 The Death of the Upright (M)
Why? Why don't they feel scared?
The 'puppet' stared at the three people in the hall, and there was a deep curiosity in his heart.
The annex on the hill is a famous haunted house in this area, and it is a terrifying area that countless people call the forbidden area.
Under normal circumstances, if the 'doll' does not use her own powers, then she will not be able to lure others to the annex at all.
And now, there are three humans who have appeared in the annex!?
Although the boy looked very scared, the 'puppet' knew very well that the other party's heart was not at all turbulent, and the smiling appearance of the two girls standing in front of the boy already showed that they did not take the legend of the ghost seriously.
Really...... A group of people who are not afraid of heaven and earth.
The 'puppet' couldn't help but sigh in her heart, according to 'her's original plan, tonight was not the time for the ceremony, but since there was a guest suddenly coming, as the host, it would be impossible to say that it would not be possible to show some sincerity.
Come on! Let the 'Crazy Night' ...... Come again!
The doll's body poured out of the doll's body, and the power soared into the sky, mixing with the thunderclouds in the sky, and eventually, turning into enchanting raindrops that fell in a small village at the foot of the mountain.
Those who had not yet had time to run into the house were hit by the raindrops of this magical power, and in the next second, they seemed to be deprived of their senses, and they were like walking corpses, fluttering towards the mountain.
One, two, three, four, five......
Like Hamel's piper, it's not that the 'puppet' can't lure more people to come, it's just that. Relative to rituals. Plus the Merlin trio. Eight...... It's totally enough!
This time, we may be able to fulfill 'her' wish.
The 'puppet' indicated the people under the mountain who were accused of being arrested, and at the same time, such a thought suddenly flashed through their hearts.
I have long forgotten how long I have been saving, and I can't even feel hope and despair.
'Puppet', perhaps, is just such a pathetic existence.
But even then, she couldn't let go of her butcher's knife, the command carved into her soul. It's not something a 'puppet' like her can defy at all......
Time passes minute by minute......
Merlin, Abbey, and Nana Jia seemed to have forgotten their original jokes, and they gathered in the center of the hall, sometimes laughing, sometimes fighting, but they didn't pay attention to the strange atmosphere around them.
And the 'puppet', after the initial observation, she no longer put her mind on the three people, but just concentrated on controlling the five people who had come to the mountainside, waiting for ...... It's time for a crazy feast!
"Do-do-do-do-"
There was a knock on the door of the annex. It was an unexpected visitor, like Merlin and others.
"Is anyone there, please?"
The girl's voice came. With a hint of coldness, but also with a hint of nobility.
"Do! Quiver! Quiver! ”
The knock on the door sounded again, this time a male voice.
"If there were no one, I'd break in."
"It's coming, it's coming."
Merlin had already stood up when there was a knock on the door for the first time, and Merlin had already arrived at the gate when the second voice sounded.
Gently opening the door, two men and women in simple clothes appeared in the rain.
"Hello, are you here to hide from the rain too?"
Merlin ushered the two into the hall, and by the dim light, Merlin finally saw their faces clearly.
The man is magnificent, dressed in a white coat, holding a goose feather fan, just standing there, as if he is the protagonist of heaven and earth, full of light that people can't look at.
And the woman next to the man, she has long hair with a purple shawl, noble, no! is more elegant than the aristocracy, coupled with the slightly raised corners of the eyes, slightly cold face, just like the queen who rules a country, every word can determine the life and death of others.
Objectively speaking, even if a woman's temperament is very extraordinary, she is standing next to a man, but she has nothing outstanding at the moment. After all, men, whether they are in appearance or temperament, can be said to be the spirit of heaven and earth, and their words and deeds attract everyone's attention.
However, the moment he saw the woman, Merlin's gaze seemed to have taken root, and he couldn't take it off.
From the other party's body, he seemed to see another similar figure, a ...... A figure that is inextricably linked to his past.
The figure...... The figure...... Forehead! Ahh!!!!!!h
The memories that were once unraveled and then sealed away at the Grand Chef Conference are surging back up again. As they rioted, Merlin's brain, as if dozens of elephants had been stuffed, swelled and ached.
"Merlin!" "Merlin!"
Nanajia and Abei, who were still observing the man and woman, couldn't help but want to rush forward when they saw Merlin in such pain.
However, it was the man who had not spoken before Merlin who had arrived at Merlin's side before them.
He didn't know when he held a few silver needles in his hand, and after a few fiddling strokes, Merlin, who was still moaning in pain, slowly gasped and calmed down.
"Whew...... Thank...... Call...... Thank you ......."
"You're welcome, I'm just doing my duty as a healer."
The man spoke in a very flat tone, as if he had done something very ordinary.
"No, thank you so much."
Abbe lowered her head, she was really grateful to the other party, after all, relying on her and Nanajia alone, there was no way to help Merlin at all.
"That's right, Merlin was able to recover so quickly, thanks to your action."
Nana Jia also has a positive face at this time, although she is usually very aggressive, but she treats her friends really well.
"If you really want to thank you......" The man seemed to be ready to prevaricate, but the woman beside him stepped forward at this time, "Just tell us about this annex!" ”
"Huh?" X2
When Nana Jia and Abbe heard this, they suddenly showed blank looks.
"Is there anything wrong with this annex?"
It's not pretending, but really completely unaware, after all, the three of Merlin, if it weren't for the rain, it would be impossible for them to come to the annex.
But it seems that the man and the woman, their destination seems to be ...... Over here?!
Thinking of this, Nanajia and Abbe couldn't help but glance at each other, the previous jokes, it seems, are not groundless.
"I'm sorry, it's the first time we've come here today, because it's raining, and there's nowhere to hide from the rain, so we're coming to this annex."
Abbe chose her words carefully, she didn't want the other party to think of the three of them as 'members' of the annex.
And Nanajia, in order to confirm Abbe's words, even took out her credentials as a star witch - a short blade.
"I'm a shrine maiden of Xinga, and although I came here by accident, I'm willing to contribute my part if the two of you are in need."
Nanajia's status as a shrine maiden,It has been obtained by Merlin and Abbe before.,Although surprised by the identity of a member of the world of Nanajia,But Merlin, who stepped into it with half a foot.,And Abei, who should have been judged to be a member of the world in terms of subordination.,But they didn't care too much.。
The two didn't even ask Nana Jia why she came to Huaxia thousands of miles away, and if she did, perhaps, Merlin now had a third piece of kitchenware......
Huh? Why the third piece?
The answer is actually very simple, when Merlin and Xing were separated, Xing had already given Merlin the two jade dragon pots beside her, as for the safety of the world or something, compared to the young man in front of him, it was not worth mentioning at all!
Well, for a girl crazy about love or something, that's enough!
…… Ahem, back to business.
"Your strength is too poor to help us."
It was still the woman, and she rejected Nanajia's kindness before the man could speak.
"I advise you, if you don't want to die, leave this annex as soon as possible, and go as far as possible!"
"If this annex is really that dangerous, and we leave now, the probability of an accident is even greater."
The woman's tone was quite aggressive, and Merlin, after the feeling of dizziness slowly subsided, also slowly saw the current situation.
"It's a bit excessive, but if you can, please protect us, okay?"
Merlin's tone was quite sincere, he was not afraid of death, but afraid of the girl next to him being hurt.
Without strength, he can't protect the girl around him, so he will seek the help of the man and woman in front of him.
Although he made a request, Merlin did not think that the other party would agree immediately.
He doesn't have what the other party needs, and even if he does, it is definitely not comparable to life.
But......
"In return, I, Special Chef Merlin, am willing to dedicate the most delicious meal to the two of you."
That's right, this is the weapon in Merlin's hand, the only weapon he can impress.
Although the Hundred Birds Dynasty Spear has been learned, it is just a rough Merlin, and he doesn't think that he can do anything in such a situation.
As for whether the other party will agree to come down...... Perhaps, this will have to wait for the arrangement of fate......
Merlin, who did not have a trace of self-preservation power, experienced the benefits of power for the first time, and in his heart, the desire for power at this moment skyrocketed like never before.
And with such a thought of him, in the deepest part of his soul, there was a trace of golden light overflowing......
These points of light quietly melted into Merlin's eyebrows, and without his knowledge, they began to operate autonomously.
The aura, which was thin but did exist, gathered from all directions, alarmed the woman and the man around her.
Quietly, the two of them looked at Merlin with a change of eyes. The woman, who originally planned to reject Merlin's suggestion, finally nodded and agreed to Merlin's plan at the man's suggestion. (To be continued......)
