Chapter 1: A Mess

The windows were covered by thick curtains, and the room was pitch black, except for a thin candle on a table in the middle of the room, struggling to burn the last of its body in the darkness, emitting a faint light. Under the dim light, several pale and stiff faces were reflected, and the expressions on each face were focused and nervous, as if waiting for something important to happen. A rough and thick voice sounded just beyond the light, and when I saw the owner who was silent, I could only see a hazy shadow, low but strong, unable to identify race and identity.

Young Johnson was filled with fear and ran wildly along the mountain road in the dark. The rough voice seemed to be hoarse and low due to nervousness, and whispered in a suppressed voice: "There are constant strange sounds behind him, as if those undead have been chasing after him in the night." There was no moon that night, and the mountain road was dark, and the young children stumbled down the mountain all the way, and I don't know how many times they fell along the way. ”

Finally, Johnson ran out of the jungle in the mountains, saw the lights of the village in the distance, and a young peasant woman with a basket of mushrooms, who was rushing back to the village from the other direction at night, as if she had been delayed by mushroom picking. The rough voice paused, as if brewing emotions, and when he spoke again, his voice became even lower: "Although this peasant woman looks strange to Johnson, she is a living person after all, and the young child quickly ran to the peasant woman's side, hugged her legs and cried loudly, crying while pointing to the dense forest on the hillside behind her, there, there are so many undead there, wow wow wow, so terrible." ”

The owner of the rough voice deliberately pinched his throat and spoke in a childish voice like a child, but the hoarse voice pretended to be like this, which made people feel even more chilled.

The peasant woman bent down and hugged the trembling child, stroking the top of his head and comforting him until the child gradually calmed down. After stopping crying, he patiently asked: What kind of undead are they?" The rough voice continued: "Johnson began to tremble again as soon as he remembered it, but because of the presence of an adult next to him, he was no longer as scared as he was just now, and sobbed and replied: It's all skeletons. Some are incomplete, some have no arms, some have no legs, and some even have no heads. Scared the hell out of me, scared the hell out of me. ”

The peasant woman was puzzled and asked the young Johnson: If there is no head, can those skeletons still move?" The rough voice imitated the two identities and said: "The child Johnson is very afraid, and stammered, yes, yes, not only can they move, but they can also take off their heads and throw them around in the sky, and the heads that fly in the air can also make terrible laughs." Ahhhh ”

The peasant woman let out an exclamation of amazement, and suddenly took off her head and held it up in front of Johnson, screaming and asking him, "Do you think that's the case?" The rough voice was halfway through, and suddenly stretched out his hand, really took off his head and put it in the candlelight, the miserable white skull emitted a faint light in the candlelight, and the mandible closed one by one and laughed sharply: "That's it." That's it, you see. ”

"Ah~~~~~h The candles were knocked over and extinguished in the screams, the clashing of tables and chairs in the darkness, the sound of chaotic footsteps, screams and laughter were all in one place, and if those who didn't know heard it, they might mistake it for something that had happened here.

"Bang". The door to the room was suddenly kicked open, and the chaos in the room came to an abrupt end, followed by a cloud of light coming out from behind the person who kicked the door open, hanging high in the air to illuminate the entire room. Kicking open the door was a white-robed silver-haired priest girl, who, with the help of Vivien's illumination, saw the room for the first time as if it were a freeze-frame.

There were many people in the room, but every time I saw a person, the veins in the priest's forehead would beat violently. The storyteller was a skeleton deer who was not wearing a puppet costume, and she actually appeared in front of several girls without disguise, and was holding her head in her arms at this time, and was chased around by several other girls. The two pairs of twin sisters chased after the fawn angrily, waving cushions in their hands and constantly slapping the headless little skeleton, and the most hateful thing was the little banshee Annie, who was obviously also an undead, but was frightened by the story and kept flickering, as if it was about to dissipate at any time, and at this time she also gritted her teeth and intercepted the fleeing kindred from the air. In another corner of the room, two adult women sit side by side, snickering at the children's interactions.

For a while, the room fell into a deathly silence, and after a while, the first to react were the two adult women, and the two said with a dry smile in their eyes: "Hahaha, that, the store will be opened tomorrow, you must go to bed early today, hahaha, let's go first, don't send us." ”

"Nicole, Rachel, you two are acting guardians, and you don't care about these crazy kids. Seeing that the two adult ladies didn't even leave the door and jumped out of the window, Lina gritted her teeth and waved her fist at their backs and said angrily: "You wait for me, tomorrow I will go to your two shop to make trouble, whew, these two guys are running really fast." So, where are you going?"

"Haha, haha, it turned out to be Sister Lina, when did you come back, I miss you so much. Michelle, the most lively Michelle, rolled her eyes, opened her arms and hugged Lina: "Woo woo, I thought you didn't want us anymore." ”

"Load it for me less. Lina snapped and reached out to Michelle's forehead to prevent her from hugging her, pouting and saying, "You pretend to be pitiful in this way every time, the most cunning, don't want me to be fooled again." Hmph, let me be clear, what are you crazy about again this time?"

"Hush. Michelle pursed her lips secretly, and immediately changed to an innocent expression, and said with big blank eyes: "We're not crazy, we're telling stories, hehe, it's just a bedtime story." ”

"Oh, bedtime stories. Lina looked around with a smile, the tables and chairs that had been turned over, the broken teapots and teacups, the tea-soaked carpets, the snacks that had been spilled on the floor, the candles that had scalded the carpet out of a small D, the cakes that had fallen face down on the carpet, and the red jam that had been stained on everyone's clothes. Lina's eyes swept over an object, and the flattering smiles on the faces of several girls became a little stiffer, and after she looked around, the girls' expressions had become more ugly than crying, but Lina just smiled meaninglessly and nodded: "Yes, yes, your bedtime story, are you going to challenge the Guardian Clan? Or do you think our house is too dilapidated and ready to be demolished and rebuilt?"

"Well, we know that's wrong. Ansa winked at the other girls, took the lead and lowered her head and said pitifully: "Sister Lina, don't be angry, we don't dare anymore, woo." ”

You can say this ten times a day. Lina clasped her hands to her chest, unmoved, and said with a cold snort: "Punish you, clean up this place for me now, otherwise you won't be allowed to sleep, and then wash the carpet and clothes on your body together tomorrow, as long as there is a little bit of uncleanness, be careful of your P shares being beaten." ”

"Yes!" said the maid sister overjoyed, "and we will go and tidy it up at once." ”

"I didn't say you two, let the four of them do it themselves. Lina snorted again and said to the pansy and mimosa sisters, "You two will be punished later, and I will tell you separately when the time comes." Also, deer, how did you get out of the puppet?"

"Everyone knows, including Rachel and Nicole, and those two weird sisters who always hug each other and suddenly appear. The little skeleton was holding his skull, and in the corner where Lina couldn't see, he used his skull to bite the timid Ansha, and suddenly heard the topic shift to himself, and put his head back on his body in a panic, and replied while adjusting the direction back and forth: "Everyone doesn't hate me like this, except for some unaccustomed to it at the beginning, there is no special reaction, so I can come out at home with confidence, everyone likes the fawn, the fawn also loves everyone, hehe, I like life here the most." ”

"Then I'll be punished too, now you four, clean up this place at once, and then hurry to go to bed, and don't look at what time it is, go quickly. Lina's dragon-like roar made the four children scream in panic and flee, each looking for tools to clean up the room, Lina rubbed her forehead helplessly and sighed, turned to leave the room, and said as she walked: "You two come with me, and now discuss the punishment for you." ”

The maid sister timidly followed Lina, and as soon as she went out, she saw several people standing at the door, with familiar faces, and everyone was holding back a smile and looking at Lina like a mother with a headache.

When they realized that these faces were still there, a strange sense of relief suddenly rose in the hearts of the two sisters, and the two sisters who grew up in the city of innocence could not understand why they suddenly had such inexplicable emotions.

Walking to another room not far away, Lina suddenly turned her head and stared at the two sisters tightly, until the two sisters' foreheads were already oozing cold sweat, then she suddenly reached out, pinched her sister's mimosa face, pulled her face into a funny smile, and held her face and kept rubbing it and said: "You guys are very good, I'm happy, but I can do better, I'll be even happier when the time comes." ”

"You go away. Catherine snapped off Lina's bully hand, patted the two sisters on the head and said, "However, she is right, you are doing a good job, you are already working hard to be like a normal girl, and you are also trying to integrate into this family, we are very happy." When you don't need to disguise yourself, but really play with them, it means that you have really walked out of the Y shadow of the City of Innocence, and we are all looking forward to that day. ”

"Yes. The two sisters suddenly felt that their eyes were inexplicably a little sour, and they quickly blinked vigorously and nodded, "We will work hard." ”(~^~)
