Chapter 15: Rumors of Haunting
"You don't seem to have much appetite. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info" The guard yawned and looked sleepy: "Are you a picky eater?"
"It's just no appetite. After barely taking two more sips, Canette clutched the soup bowl depressedly: "You still don't sleep? I'm fine, I don't need you to take care of it. β
"I didn't want to stay up late. With a big yawn, the guard scratched his head and looked tired: "You have to save three euros in the past two weeks...... Is there any business that has landed in the field?"
"There's one that's more reliable. After a moment of silence, Canette reluctantly answered the heavy question: "Go and pack a Kalupol." β
"Oh...... Not bad. Jeff rubbed his eyes, as if he didn't understand: "What's Kalupol?"
"It's the Iron Demon ......" Staring at the guards who seemed to have suddenly come to their senses, the Demon Hunter smiled bitterly: "What's wrong with you?"
"No, I just didn't expect that the Iron Demon would still have someone rushing to fight it. When he came back to his senses, Jeff looked at Canette in surprise: "You have a lot of courage." β
"What do you think of the witcher, don't you dare to take this little job?" was suddenly speechless, and Canette didn't know what to say: "Uh...... In short, I was kind enough to help a little girl who asked for help to solve the exorcism problem at home. Then when I got to her door, I suddenly realized that the evil spirit was possessing her. β
"That's what happened. Jeff didn't seem to be listening at all, with a "" expression: "No, I'll have to go to sleep in a while." I have to be on duty when I wake up early. β
Then you should go to sleep quickly!
Good attitude perfunctory guy...... Canette suddenly remembered something, so he hurriedly asked Jeff, who didn't know why he hadn't gone to sleep but was sleepy: "By the way, Jeff! I have something to ask you...... If I go and talk about it, is it possible that the paladins will be able to hand it over to me after they help find someone?"
If memory serves, the girl's family seems to be very jealous of the church. And if the Holy See is allowed to deal with this matter, it will be too dereliction of duty for the witchers.
Canette still has a lot to ask her family.
"You mean to keep the church from interfering?" Jeff was a little more energetic, and then vetoed: "It's not possible, but they're kind to the witchers, maybe there's a chance." β
"That'...... I'll tell you about such a house, and you can see if there is an impression. β
After a rough sketch of what the house would look like, Canette eagerly waited for Jeff to come up with any useful information.
"Is there such a house...... Not impressed. Jeff thought about it, but didn't come up with a fart: "I've been watching the gate." β
Sure enough, this man didn't know anything...... Carnet was disappointed: but she hadn't expected much from him.
"Wait. I don't know about the house, but it's haunted, isn't it? about the haunted house nearby...... There's a story I know. Let's talk about it and give you a reference. The guard smiled meaningfully, "Maybe the witchers will be willing to hear about it?"
"Is it haunted...... Let's hear it. "It's really interested, and Canette cheers up a little. In order to listen to the story well, he also deliberately went to the toilet first.
"Ahem...... It's a long story," the guard cleared his throat, then cocked Erlang's legs and began to speak proudly, "That was more than ten years ago, and I was a young man in the second year of secondary schoolβ"
"I don't think you've changed yet. Impatiently interrupted, Canette lay down and pressed her hands under the pillow: 'Don't grind the point.' Keep the next page under control. β
"Well, let's get straight to the point...... Hmmm......" After pondering for a while, Jeff scratched his head and seemed to have a slight headache: "By the way, that's it." The house belonged to a very wealthy businessman. The merchant's wife became pregnant one day and, according to the doctor, would give birth to several children. So the man, who had always liked children very much, was ecstatic and began to build their own little houses for the children one by one. β
This opening is very harmonious...... Carnet pondered: the calm before the storm.
"But suddenly one day, my wife died in childbirth. Jeff's expression became mysterious: "Guess what will happen to a businessman who likes children so much in this situation?"
"Will it be crazy?" said Cannet, who had thought about the horror story routine and had picked himself up from his fever a little.
"Correct. The merchant became more and more extreme, and began to build houses one by one for non-existent children, and the whole person often talked to imaginary childrenβas was the case at first. Later, however, passers-by heard the voices of children coming from the house in fear. More and more, more and more. β
"Is the child's difficult birth turned into a ghost, attracting the ghosts of other children wandering the world......" Canette mused, "Kind of interesting." And then what?"
"He's still building houses...... It's like to those kids who don't exist. The god mysteriously repeated the phrase, and the guard grinned triumphantly and glanced at Cannet.
"Heard it. What about later?" asked the witcher, picking up the soup bowl and scooping a spoonful of soup before he was ready to put it to his mouth.
"Oh, because the house was illegally built, it was demolished by the urban management brigade. The captain of the guard said the ending lightly, and then was sprayed with soup: "Hey, why are you spraying me?!"
"What the hell are you fooling?!" Canette pouted, and put down the bowl in disappointment, "You made it all up!"
"No, it's true. To the witcher's surprise, the guard looked innocent and looked serious: "It's true, that's how it ended." Sounds surprising, right? Reality is sometimes so illogical. β
"Don't pretend to be a philosopher for meβ...... Haha," he grinned, covering his head, and Carnet felt his head throb and throb, as if the tendons in his brain were spasming. This made him have to succumb to the sickness of his body and lie down.
"Alright, you better go to sleep. Standing up, the guard slowly took the soup pot away: "Call me if you have something." I don't necessarily hear it, though. β
Does this guy stay awake just to wait for me to finish the soup...... Canette gasped, feeling a hint of relief. Covering his hot towel, Canette squinted at the man who brought him the kettle and the large cup and asked him to drink more: "By the way, you don't have any family?"
"Well, my parents are out of town. Jeff shook his head: "I don't have a daughter-in-law yet." If you don't have a place to go, you can borrow it for a few days. Anyway, there is no one else at home, and it is very deserted. β
