"Uncle Hodge. Alice approached Hodge lightly and patted him on the shoulder.

Hodge turned his head and smiled, "What's wrong? ”

Alice smiled sweeter, "Can you go out for a walk with me?" I feel tightness in my chest when I'm in the house, but I'm a little scared to go out alone. ”

Hodge's eyes flickered for a moment, but then he took all his emotions in his eyes and nodded: "No problem, let's go out for a walk." ”

The light of the torches was especially bright in the long nights, and Alice walked a little ahead, while Hodge was half a body slower, following the little girl's footsteps slowly.

"Uncle Hodge, what did you do before?"

"It's no different from now, I've always been a herbalist, but now I'm with the team, and I used to be in other villages. ”

"Other villages, you're not a native of Stone Fort?"

"No, of course not. I came from a far away place, at least a few hundred miles from the Stone Fort, and I had to walk a long way by carriage to get here. ”

"Why come so far?"

"I'm going to a friend's house, and I'm going to borrow it and I'm going to have to trouble her to see what's wrong with me. ”

"You're a doctor yourself, so why do you have to let someone else treat you?"

"There are some diseases, and the herbalist can take it without a problem. ”

"I see. ”

Alice stopped, and Hodge followed, just in time to the row of camphor trees.

"Uncle Hodge, do you have a beloved?"

"Nope. Hodge quickly replied that although he had been with Hera and Devany on the journey, the former was regarded by him as his sister, and the latter as a mentor and friend, and that his beloved had not yet appeared.

"Oh......" Alice raised her watery eyes and lowered her voice, "then let Alice be my uncle's sweetheart?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Alice's dress had faded to her chest, and her young and fair shoulders were exposed.

"Look, am I pretty?" she whispered.

"It's beautiful. Hodge exclaimed, but a mocking smile appeared on his lips.

"But you've told a lot of people about that, right? Why not do you do it another way, I'm a person who likes new things. ”

Alice's eyes suddenly froze, and she stepped back two steps away, staring into his eyes: "You really know." ”

Her hair suddenly floated in the air, growing at an alarming rate, and three or four meters of hair fluttered and swayed in the air.

There was a sound of footsteps.

"Alice, Hodge, what are you doing, why haven't you been back for so long?"

Hodge heard that the voice belonged to Oliver, and judging by the footsteps, it was obviously not just him, and turned his head to look in the direction of the sound, and what appeared in the field of vision was a neat ten people, and the whole team was all there.

Alice smiled hollowly, looking mockingly into Hodge's eyes, as if in response to the sneer at the corner of his mouth before.

Her voice became more and more hollow, but she could still hear a few sobs, and she recounted in a stumbling voice: "Uncles save me, this man, he ...... He wants to...... Woo"

It was clear that everything Alice was doing except for her voice was so weird, but Hodge felt that she was sincere, as if it had really happened.

The others probably thought the same way, and it seemed that no one noticed Alice's unusual appearance at all, only heard her words, so several pairs of eyes glared at Hodge with anger.

"What? you bastard!" Parker burst out of the crowd like crazy, and not only him, but many others rushed towards Hodge together, and he didn't have time to dodge before he was firmly grabbed by the arms of several big men, and he fell to the ground unable to move.

"Sober me up!" Hodge said with annoyance that his right cheek was in close contact with dirt and snow dust, and Hodge said with annoyance, "Look at her hair, you can't be blind." ”

Parker and the others were indifferent to this, and even kicked Hodge in the abdomen, meaning to make him shut his stinky mouth.

"Uncle Oliver. ”

Alice's body floated softly towards Oliver, yes, yes, Hodge was sure he would not be mistaken, like a little girl with invisible wings on her back.

"You said you'd protect me, right?"

Oliver's eyes gradually became hazy under Alice's whisper: "Yes, I will protect Alice." ”

"So—" she wrapped her arms around Oliver's neck, hugged him affectionately, and whispered softly, "Kill him, he's a murderer trying to bully Alice." ”

"Killed...... He!" Oliver repeated, his eyes glazed over as a piece of wood, and he stiffened his dagger and approached Hodge.

Behind him, Lloyd and Marjery didn't move, just watched quietly.

He could only watch as Oliver stood in front of him, dagger in hand.

"Here, that's it, into the place of his heart. ”

Alice's hand rested on the back of Oliver's hand, "Gently send it forward, it's as simple as that." ”

"Kill him, kill him. Oliver was still repeating in a daze.

"That's right, kill him, kill ...... Hodge. ”

"Kill—" Oliver's eyes lit up like a mad beast.

"She!"

Burst!

The dagger stabbed into the body hard, but it wasn't the stinging Hodge.

Oliver threw Alice off her back with a back throw, elbowed her into Hodge's arms with a forward dash, and stabbed her hard with the other dagger from the back of her heart, the sharp dagger went straight into her heart, followed by a writhing motion that tossed the ventricle into mud.

Alice obviously didn't expect such a change to happen, her head twisted back in a posture that was impossible for humans to do, and she saw Oliver's expression clearly, and the confusion and woodenness just now were gone, leaving only absolute calm, just like the arm holding the dagger, so stable that the trembling of the muscles was canceled out.

Alice turned her head again, her loose hair falling down, and Hodge wasn't sure if he had misheard, as he seemed to hear a sigh as her long hair fell.

"How did you find out that something was wrong here?" there was no anger, regret, grievance, crying for mercy and so on in her voice.

There was nothing in that voice, and if I had to find something, it would only be a little bit of deathly calm.

"Those little camphor trees. "Hodge didn't intend to hide it," I knew what that row of camphor was, and then I found out more unreasonable. ”

"It turns out that this is the case, very normal thinking, for human beings is a rather subjective judgment of whether it is reasonable or not, when a thing that should be reasonable becomes abnormal, more reasonable things will also be questioned by the mind. ”

Alice said, "And how did he wake up?"

He told me a few things: "There shouldn't be a village in the forest", "The bodies are all in the house, but you say you saw your parents killed outside the house", "There is such a big forest around the village, but there is only so little firewood left", let me think for myself, and then I came to my senses. Oliver's voice was hoarse.

"Contradictions attack each other to the extent that even corrections do not work. Alice thought thoughtfully.

The surrounding scenery began to change, the empty stump of the tree quickly turned into a full tall sylvestris tree, and Alice herself was also changing, gradually becoming charming and seductive, and the young girl's face fell to the ground, revealing her slender and sexy figure and a pair of fiery breasts.

What's even more concerning is that a pair of thin wings have grown on her back.
