"Hello, I'm Edward, the mayor of Rivendell, she's my wife Susan, thank you very much for coming, if there's anything you need be sure to ask, I'll do my best to do it. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"

At the dinner table, Edward Town said to Watson and Viola with a tired face, probably because there have been too many worries recently, Edward, who is only in his 50s, looks like an old man in his sixties and seventies, and there are already a lot of white threads in his hair and he looks preoccupied.

"Hmm...... Let's eat first, and I'd like to talk to you in depth when we're done. ”

After taking a sip of the town's homemade fruit wine and eating some steak with a fork, Watson didn't want to ask some bloody questions during the meal, for fear that everyone would have no desire to eat after asking, so he chose to deal with it silently and settle the dinner first.

"Of course, that's as it should be...... I've got time at any time, you guys go and clean up the rooms of the two guests, they'll be staying here today, and they want the best room!"

Edward, realizing that it didn't seem good to talk about such a thing in front of his wife, smiled reluctantly and told the servant next to him to prepare the night's housing.

At the end of dinner, Watson, Viola, and Mayor Edward sat on the sofa in the drawing-room, Mrs. Susan went upstairs at her husband's request, and several servants were instructed not to enter the drawing-room if there was nothing to do.

"My next question may be a little mean, please don't think about it, our Demon Hunting Guild will only be responsible for solving the monster matter, everything will serve this, and will not interfere with your other aspects, all some questions I have to ask...... You see?"

"It doesn't matter, for the sake of the stability of the town of Rivendell, I will tell the truth about any problem, and I have come to this point, and there is nothing to hide. ”

It can be seen that Edward still has a deep affection for Rivendell, Watson put forward this condition according to the general consideration, but he has almost no hesitation and under the induction of dumplings, Watson knows that what he said is indeed true.

"Your son once told me about a puppeteer named Mary on the way here...... I heard him say that everything in the town only appeared after the death of this puppeteer, right? Including the puppets and the cutting out of the tongue, I want to check with you first. ”

"Indeed, all the bad things in the last two months have happened after Mary's execution, as have the dolls, as have the severed tongues...... I'm going crazy with her!"

Speaking of this, Edward covered his forehead with his hand, and his mood was very low.

"Then the matter about Mary may be the core part of the matter, and if you want to solve the things in the town, you have to figure out the source of these things...... Is Mary really dead? It's an important question, can you be sure that she was actually buried alive by you?"

"Of course, I think I can answer this question for sure, there were many people in the town when she was punished, and we watched the demon being buried in the ground and her dying...... A disgusting look. ”

It was difficult to hide his disgusted eyes, and when he talked about Mary, Edward's emotions suddenly became excited, and he even gritted his teeth a little.

"I do know what she did, make a puppet out of human flesh, but I don't know anything else...... Is there a miscarriage of justice in her trial? That is, whether she may have been falsely accused, I don't mean anything else, and I don't have too many doubts about the verdict of the town garrison, but it determines the monster that may form after her death, please answer truthfully. ”

"I firmly believe that her sentence is correct, and most of the human flesh she used was obtained from young children......! The child's bones, and it is precisely because of this that everyone is so angry, and they punish her by cutting out her tongue and burying her alive!"

Viola tugged at the corner of Watson's coat at this time, leaned over and whispered why this kind of thing would determine the monster formed after death, in order to allow this future assistant to grow up early, Watson did not hide it but talked about the reason why he asked these questions.

Ghosts are just a general term for soul monsters, in fact, there are still detailed divisions of ghosts by their nature, and there are different methods of confrontation according to different ghost types, which is the accumulation of demon hunters after years of fighting against them.

You must know that not everyone becomes a ghost after death, so what are the conditions for the formation of ghosts? Strong faith! When a person has a certain belief before death, their soul will be affected and become less easily dispersed, if they are affected by some special stimuli from the outside world, such as the cry of a lover, the entrustment of an elder, and so on.

There is a high probability that they will remain, in which case they have lost their original sanity and are only left for their last beliefs, and only when their strength has grown to a certain point will they regain their minds.

And the last faith will determine what they do, Watson's previous question is about what Mary's last firm belief was before she died, if she was not the real murderer but was wronged, then the faith before death is revenge, revenge on all those who wronged her.

The type of ghost that this belief produces is a resentful spirit, which only targets its own targets for revenge and ignores others.

And if she is really a mad murderer, and the last belief in killing so many young children and being punished to death will also be revenge, but the object of revenge will become the townspeople of the whole town......

This type of ghost is called a fierce ghost, the names of the two ghosts sound almost the same, but there is a huge gap in individual strength, the resentful spirit will automatically dissipate after taking revenge on his enemy, and his own strength will not be strong, after all, most of the ghosts of this kind of ghost are weak people before their death, otherwise they will not be framed.

But the evil spirits are diametrically opposed, they are hostile to all life, and the evil thoughts that are already strong in life will become their best food after death, which means that the evil spirits almost do not have the initial period of weakness, they are born to kill, they evolve by devouring souls, and finally become the dark monsters.

"So we're ...... now Can you still solve her? Do you want all the townspeople to go out and take refuge? There were a lot of people who watched her suffer in the first place!"

"No, running won't solve any problems, the results of your son and wife are the best proof of this, all the townspeople are her original target, no matter where she flees, she can find you with the evil thoughts on you, unless you can find a high-ranking priest to baptize you and remove the marks on your body in a short time, otherwise there is only one way to let this fierce spirit completely die!"

Running away unprepared is always the most pointless way to dodge, let alone in the face of such evil spirits, which can easily concentrate their mental energy into a certain object and then attack you when you are least prepared.

"So what are we going to do with her? The town's police have been looking for her for two months...... I didn't find any trace of her, I don't know tonight, by the way! The time of death of the victims who appeared in the past two months was around 11 p.m. I put a curfew on it, but there were always people who said the next day that they saw people walking in the street through the windows or heard footsteps coming from the street......"

"Oh, and that's it, let's go out tonight and see what the hell is it that likes to hang out at night, it's 8 o'clock in the evening...... Viola, you and Dumpling are here to protect the mayor's family, you keep these rune bullets and this signal flare, if something happens you can't solve it, use the signal flare to inform me, and I will rush back immediately. ”

Watson originally wanted to take Viola out to gain knowledge, but thinking that the other party might be a fierce spirit with similar strength to himself, she was likely to be targeted if she really met and started fighting, and according to the information just got, it was not impossible for the mayor's house to be attacked by the fierce spirit.

Leaving her and Dumpling behind should allow you to delay your time and get back, so that even the publisher of her quest and the provider of the message will be dealt with by the evil spirit.

Communicate with Dumplings well, don't fight hard to delay time as much as possible, although Viola can control a little thunder energy, but the current strength is a little reluctant to deal with this kind of monster, plus there is no combat experience in this area, so the real delay in time has to rely on Dumplings, who are very sensitive to the dark atmosphere.

Walking outside the villa of the mayor's house, even Watson was a little nervous in his heart, the fierce spirit was the first time he had encountered it, and to be honest, he didn't have much experience in fighting this kind of monster, although equipment such as holy water bullets was prepared, whether it could work or not depended on how he used it.

Perhaps because Rivendell was in the countryside, there was a layer of mist on the streets at night, and Watson walked into the mist when he turned his head to look at Viola standing at the window and asked her to go back to protect the mayor's family.

The street lamps on the side of the street can provide very limited light under the shroud of mist, if you are far away, even the road ahead is a little blurred, but fortunately Watson is also prepared, quickly turn on the spar light on the watch, the blue light through the fog makes people feel more deep and desolate.

The town of Rivendell is not large, and there are not too many alleys, most of them are large streets paved with bluestone bricks, and Watson deliberately avoided those lanes that are easy to be surrounded and difficult to spread, and chose the main road as much as possible, relying on his hearing to find possible night walkers.

Click, click, click......

At 9 o'clock, Watson, who was wandering the streets of Rivendell, heard some strange sounds from the fog in front of him, saying that the footsteps of people were more like the sound of wood or plastic colliding with stones.

The tall figure emerged from the fog with the voice, and stopped when it was still three or four meters away from Watson.

"Hey...... How old are you? I still like to play with these dolls, if you have any ideas, you can talk to me head-on!"
