Chapter 11: The Shack
"Hey, hey...... Then what are you talking about, leave it to me!" Lucina immediately became interested and happily accepted the commission: "But the reward must be satisfactory to me when the time comes! Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”
Inside an alley.
"Damn! it's so cold......" Sneezing, Carnet walked behind the girl with the reins in embarrassment, trembling all over: it's over, I guess I'm going to catch a cold...... You'll have to get a fire and roast it in a while, or you're probably going to get sick.
Anyway, it's better to get this done sooner...... Touching the amulet around his neck and another silver-red badge that showed his identity as a witcher and shaped like a demon hunter's blood pupil, Canette sighed: I hope Kalupol won't be picked up this night.
This Demon Hunter's badge should be a good way to restrain evil spirits...... Stroking the silver-red badge, Carnet sneezed violently: But is there really an evil spirit? The child didn't look like she was playing a prank, but she always spoke evasively, as if she had reservations.
After all, the ability to read minds is limited, and it is impossible to read too specific things in front of people who do not have mood swings or do not voluntarily accept mind reading.
Then again, that's two euros...... Carnett's mind drifted to the East Quarter again. He remembered the rich reward of this commission, and he salivated: it must not be preempted by anyone else. Try to solve this exorcism tonight. Then immediately rush to deal with the Iron Armor Demon and make a good profit to become a rich man. You have to know that the price can be negotiated, maybe it can be doubled?
"This is it. The girl quietly held her umbrella and stopped in front of a small shack: "Our family is hiding here. ”
The little shack looked like makeshift tarpaulins and wood. At first glance, it is very cold and damp, and there is no trace of fire. This caused Carnett, who wanted to hurry up and make a fire, disappointed.
"It's a terrible situation. Looking at the shack sympathetically, Cannet, who was thinking about how much money he could get on this trip, looked inside: "But no one is there." ”
"Hey, how can it be ......" The girl looked at the shack, panicked, and took a few steps back: "They should be back." ”
"Don't panic, don't panic. Canette hurriedly comforted the girl who was in inexplicable fear and tried to sort out the situation: "Uh...... So, tell me your name first, okay?"
"My mom wouldn't let me say it. Frustrated, the girl shook her head and refused the witcher's request.
Oh, so your name is Anna, and Carnet reads the girl's name with ease: when she deliberately tries to hide something, this strong emotion is easy for the magic eye to detect.
Under what circumstances would a child not be allowed to disclose his name...... Does the name matter? No, they're definitely too wary...... Feeling more and more confused about the situation, Carnet hammered the hammer on the head, and had no choice but to check the shack: judging by the ashes, no one had just entered. The girl's mother and sister may have just gone back to the shack and found no trace of the girl. So I set off again.
Just in case, the cautious Carnet crouched down and swept around the shack with his suddenly reddened MONOCULUS. The sudden discoloration of the MONOCULUS startled the girl and almost made her turn and run away.
Well...... Feeling some kind of dark and eerie death in the shack, Canette frowned and got back to his feet: something was wrong. It is clear that the undead have entered the shack, or possessed someone to enter.
And in this hour.
"Son, who are you in your family?" Turning her head, Canette asked Anna tentatively, "Except for you, your mother, and your sister?"
"Other...... People ......" The girl muttered and shook her head blankly: "No." ”
"Didn't you?" Feeling more and more of some kind of strange disobedience, Canette pulled her wet hair and coughed, "Uh...... Where's your dad, sorry, if he's gone—"
"Nope. This time, the girl replied quite firmly and decisively, and her tone was extremely stiff: "Mom said that Dad was dead a long time ago...... She didn't want to tell me about it. ”
"Huh...... That's right, too. Suddenly feeling like an idiot, Carnet was frustrated: Am I not stupid? Obviously, her father died a long time ago because of something!
Remembering that the girl had a mother and sister, and that she had just passed the shack where the ghost had also come, Canette felt a sense of turmoil: it was assumed that what the girl said was at least factual, because Carnet had indeed sensed traces of the dead here.
Earlier, Anna had said that the ghost had almost killed her sister. Although Canette was skeptical until now, he is almost completely convinced.
Inadvertently glanced at the girl out of the corner of his eye, and Cannet, who didn't care much, was suddenly shocked. The girl's eyes became extremely dull, and her pupils dilated and she lost her mind. Anna's expression was rather sluggish, and it was impossible to describe her state at this time: as if she was in a daze in her sleep.
For a moment, the girl's expression seemed to suddenly become cold and hideous, but the terrifying expression did not last half a second before it dissipated. This even dazzled Canette with suspicion: it was impossible. The Demon Hunter Blood Pupil will not let go of every detail that is witnessed. No incongruous scene can hide from the eyes of the witcher.
What the hell is going on? Cannet's heart was half cold, and then he quickly calmed down again, and his expression did not show any surprise: he could not reveal any consternation.
It's getting weirder...... Carnett was nervous and felt a chill run down her back: What happened to this little girl?
The girl was in a daze for a moment, then twitched as if she had suddenly woken up from her sleep, and looked at Carnet with a confused expression, as if she were the one who was in the last state of understanding.
"What's wrong?" the girl looked up in confusion and stared at the witcher, "I seem to have just gotten a little distracted...... Did something happen?"
Hey, don't expect me to explain it to you, little sister...... Canette slapped her wet laundry, helpless: I'm the one who is most confused, right?
"What are we going to do?" Anna was at a loss for what to do, "Mom didn't say what she would do after finding the witcher...... Are you waiting for her here?"
"No, don't- ah, I mean that's too much of a waste of time. Hurriedly changing her words, Canette coughed heavily, for fear of causing the girl to think, "Your shack doesn't seem to keep warm." Let's go and see your house first. ”
