"The hot springs here are amazing, and a lot of locals come here every few days to soak in it. "In a dark cave, mist evaporates from the warm spring water, making the whole cave looming. Boiling hot water flows out of the spring, through the cold underground river in a dozen or so large pools, and then flows down the outlet in the pool, the mountains outside are barren and arid, how can you imagine that there is such an environment inside.

Due to the location of the hot springs, which are relatively far away and limited and remote, there are not many guests here, only a few lucky tourists come here to enjoy the hot springs under the guidance of local guides.

"Although there are hot springs in other places, the hot springs here are special. If you soak in the hot springs often, your skin will become fair, delicate and firm, and your body will be dyed with a very light aroma. In the smoke, several young girls sat in a small pool with no one else, comfortably soaking in the sulphur-smelling water, the warm water covering the skin on the girls' chests, but not their slender necks and delicate jaws.

"But, Sister Vivien, I'm sorry. Maggie dipped her mouth under the water and spat out a few bubbles, "I shouldn't have screamed just now, really, really, I'm sorry." ”

"Nothing. Vivien sat next to Catherine, her short blue hair spread out and wet on her head, and Catherine was combing her hair carefully with a comb. Hearing Maggie's apology, Vivien smiled calmly: "My appearance is indeed scary, I don't blame you, sometimes I look in the mirror and am scared." ”

"No, my sisters are very nice to me, and I shouldn't be scared anyway. Maggie shook her head very dejectedly: "That's bad." ”

"It's really fine. Vivien scooped up a handful of water with her hand and splashed it on Maggie's face: "I know you don't mean it, I don't care, haha, let's play in the water." ”

"Don't move. Catherine patted Vivien on the head, poked her red face steamed by the hot water, and said, "Are you just five years old?" ”

"What are the sisters wary of, and why do you have to carry weapons with you when you soak in the hot springs?" Maggie asked puzzled, "Are you worried about encountering Warcraft?" It doesn't matter, there will be no Warcraft here, Warcraft can't survive." ”

"No, it's a more terrifying existence than a monster. Catherine touched her assembled crossbow and looked around the cave through the mist. The hot springs pass through more than a dozen pools, spread out in three different caves, just enough to separate the male and female guests, and in this cave where the girls are located, there are five pools of different sizes, and a total of more than 20 women soak in the pool. Catherine said solemnly: "In order to protect all the people here, in order to stop the evil crimes from happening, you must always be vigilant, because a beast in human skin, as long as you are not careful, it will sneak in." ”

"Heh, heh, heh. Maggie smiled dryly and said, "Sister, you don't mean Mr. Pannis." ”

"That's him. With a sound of water, Lina suddenly appeared from Maggie's side, shook the drops of water from her silver hair, and said, "You must never let your guard down against him, or he will turn into a beast and eat you." ”

"Mr. Pannis wouldn't do that. Freya was soaked in the water, with only her face exposed, and said in a beautiful voice that was not proportionate to her size: "Mr. Pannis, who is so perfect and upright, how could he do anything to peek at a lady bathing, this must be your prejudice." You've been living with him for almost a year, and he's ever seen you take a shower and change your clothes? No, otherwise you wouldn't trust him so much. ”

That's because he never shows his fangs at people he knows well. Lina picked up her glasses from the shore and put them on: "But to a fresh and strange woman, hehe......"

"Ah~~~" A scream suddenly came from the entrance of the cave, and the owner of the scream was obviously a panicked woman.

"It's coming. The girls' faces changed, and Catherine and Lina leaped out of the pool, and when they jumped onto the shore, they wrapped their seductive bodies in bath towels. Carrying swords and maces, the two rushed barefoot to the tunnel into the cave, and found a young woman who looked to be twenty-seven or eighteen years old squatting on the ground with her head in her hands, trembling all over, her face was pale with fright, and her mouth was constantly muttering: "Ghosts, there are ghosts." ”

"Wake up, calm down. Catherine put her hands on the young woman's shoulders and whispered, "Open your eyes, there's nothing here, open your eyes." ”

The last command made the frightened woman subconsciously open her eyes, and the first thing she saw was Catherine's eyes. Catherine's calm and determined gaze seemed to be very contagious, which quickly calmed the woman's messed heart. The woman looked at Catherine in a daze for a long time, then looked around for a while, and found that there was really nothing terrible, so she sat down and covered her face and wept bitterly.

"It's okay, it's okay. Pulling the young woman back from the brink of a nervous breakdown, Catherine patted the woman on the back and asked softly, "Come, tell us, what do you see that makes you so afraid?"

"I, I, I seem to see the undead. The woman shrunk into Catherine's arms and shivered, saying, "Just now I was walking out after soaking in the hot springs, when I suddenly saw a man wearing a local robe walking towards me. I didn't pay much attention to it when I was far away, thinking it was just an ordinary local coming in to soak in the hot springs, but after walking a few steps, I suddenly realized that he was wearing a men's robe. I was startled and happened to be face-to-face, and I looked up and asked him why he came to the Lady's Hot Spring, but when I looked up, I just saw his face, he, he, his face...... It's just a skeleton, and there's no flesh at all. I was terrified, but before I could do anything, the man suddenly disappeared from my eyes. It's horrible, it's horrible. ”

"Don't be afraid, there are a lot of people around you now, and it will be fine. Catherine stroked the young woman's hair like a child, and after a few words of comfort, she asked Vivien and Freya, who had already come out of the dressed, "Did you two pay attention when you two came out?

"Nope. Vivien shook her head, pointed at Catherine and said, "Big sister, the bath towel is about to fall." ”

"Oh, thank you. Catherine re-tied the bath towel and said in confusion: "It stands to reason that it is still daytime, and there is no death energy nearby, where did the skeleton appear, and the skeleton is not a ghost, it is impossible to disappear immediately." ”

"yes, that's weird. ”

"Huh?" Catherine and Lina stiffened, turned their heads slowly, and saw Pannis standing with his arms folded on his chest, looking at the young woman with a serious face and thinking attentively.

"Why are you here?" said Catherine, the corners of her mouth twitching, "Aren't you supposed to be in another cave?"

"Oooh, I heard the screams and ran over. Pannis said, "I didn't come in to peek. ”

"No one said you were here to peek. Catherine rolled her eyes: "You just said it's really strange, strange what?"

"Freya and Vivien didn't see anyone running in. "But I didn't see anyone running out. There's no fork in the road here, as long as someone can see it. And most importantly, I was not far in front of her at the time, and I could see clearly before and after she screamed, she was the only one around, nothing else, nothing. ”

"But I really saw it. The young woman shouted, "I'm not lying, I really saw it, and that feeling can't be a hallucination." ”

"But, lady, look up now. Pannis said, "Look at my face, can you see it?"

When the young woman looked up, she saw only the sun in her eyes. The dazzling sunlight shone into the cave from the entrance of the cave, and when she looked out against the light, not to mention the person in the white robe, the young woman's blurred vision could not even see the figure of Pannis, who was dressed in black cloth.

"You saw it too. "Theoretically, you shouldn't be able to see that clearly," Pannis said. ”

"But...... But I really see it. The young woman looked dazed and stammered, "I can swear, I really see it very clearly." ”

"The wall of memories. Maggie also hurriedly got dressed and came out, and then said very calmly: "She should have seen the wall of memories." In this area of dozens of kilometers nearby, this situation can often be encountered, whether it is day or night, and suddenly you see the scene from I don't know how long ago, just like the real thing. These scenes may be tens of thousands of years ago, or they may be from yesterday, there may be no one at all, or there may be a group of people, so you don't have to be so nervous, it is harmless, and the locals even regard seeing the illusion of memories as a kind of luck. ”

"Well, that makes sense. Pannis touched his chin and nodded, "That's why the skeleton suddenly disappeared." ”

But there are three other issues that don't make sense. Catherine frowned and said, "First, have you ever seen a skeleton in clothes? If the skeleton was a newly deceased person, and the clothes were the clothes he wore before he died, but even the people had rotted into skeletons, it was impossible for the lady not to notice the smell and dilapidation of the clothes, and it was impossible for her to see him as an ordinary native. ”

"Well, that's suspicious. Pannis nodded, "Maybe it's another sane undead." ”

But that doesn't make sense, because the second question is, where do the undead come from. If the lady is not mistaken, the skeleton is dressed in the robes of the natives, indicating that it cannot have happened tens of thousands of years ago, at least after the Quaternary period. But there is no record of an outbreak of death energy in this vicinity, and even the disaster of the return of the dead a hundred years ago has not interfered here, so the skeleton will never appear out of thin air. ”

"Maybe it's time to do a good job of searching the neighborhood. Pannis said, "Maybe we'll be able to find the skeleton, but unfortunately we don't have time." ”

"There is a third question. Catherine suddenly showed the kind of smile that made Pannis's heart tremble: "Dear Mr. Pannis, you just said that you came after hearing the voice, and you definitely didn't want to peep, did you?" But then I really want to hear someone say that he was not far in front of him when he screamed, which one is true? Of course, some people have a very high level of stealth, and it's normal for this lady not to notice, but can you explain to me what that person is going to do when he sneaks into the cave of the lady's hot spring?"

"Haha, haha, haha. Pannis was covered in cold sweat and retreated in a panic: "That, there must be a reason, wait, there must be a reason, there is a reason, wait, wait for me to make it up." ”

"Die. Two pairs of fists landed on their chosen target with the sound of the wind.

In fact, he just didn't feel at ease, and he adhered to the habit of a professional to be on guard at the entrance of the cave. Freya didn't express her love again, and asked Vivien beside her in a very formal whisper, "You should be able to see it too." ”

"Yes, we know. Vivien smiled: "It's just a daily interaction between two women who can't express their hearts and an idiot to increase understanding and affection, don't you think they're both happy? ”

"Wait, you won't ...... too" Freya held out her hand in vain, not grabbing Vivien.

"I'll come too, get out of the way, Flame Blast. And so, the smoke filled the air. (To be continued.) )
