"I'm going to summon the Castle Pterodactyl...... Watson, you're recovering so quickly? I heard Marlena say you're all over the body. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

Benjamin, who was holding a few cards, placed a monster card on the table, and a pterodactyl projected by a spell appeared on the card surface, and sitting opposite him was naturally Watson, who was also holding a card in his hand, and around them were Locke, Bellamy, and Marina.

Locke and Bellamy are also engaged in a card duel, while Marina sits next to Watson and controls a small water balloon to exercise her mental strength.

Today was the second day after Watson returned from the church, and some of his friends at the Demon Hunter Guild had come to visit him with something after hearing that he had been seriously injured, only to find him alive when they opened the door......

"I summon the swordsmen of the kingdom and activate the field card to ------ the kingdom castle [the attack power of the monster with the word kingdom in the name prefix has increased by 800 points, ignoring the rule that you can't attack in the first round], the kingdom swordsman attacks the castle pterodactyl, haha, Benjamin, you only have 600 health points...... Originally, the injury was indeed a little, but the day before yesterday I went to the church hospital in Midtown and received treatment from the priest there, so the recovery was relatively fast. ”

"Who's over there, the priest, who's one of the most powerful people in Midtown, how could she come to treat you?"

Marina asked curiously, putting the water balloon back into the cup in front of her.

"Yes, I don't know why she helped me, but it's not a bad thing for me anyway, at least I'm in good shape now, and my strength has recovered to about sixty percent of its heyday, and it is estimated that it won't take a few days to fully recover. ”

"Bastard...... It's obviously someone who hasn't been playing for long...... I hope you'll pass out in pain right now. ”

Benjamin looked at the card in his hand and muttered to himself.

"Summon, wandering swordsman of the kingdom, you don't have any monsters on the field, so you attack the opposing player directly...... You're dead, Benjamin, give me the card, Viola, get us some milk tea, don't you see we're all running out?"

After dealing with Benjamin and finding that the milk tea in the cup is almost finished, Watson shouts to Viola, who is busy with lunch in the kitchen.

"Hey, how did you find such a beautiful maid?, and tell me that place, I've been lonely at home lately, if only there was a pretty girl who woke me up every morning and talked to me...... You know. ”

At this time, Locke suddenly sat down next to Watson, put his arm around his shoulders, raised his eyebrows, and said something discordant with excitement on his face [where are there so many forbidden words......].

"Locke, why the hell are you just going to take the cards? I'm going to win, okay? And Watson, where the hell did you find a maid like Viola, it's my perfect ...... Ahem, maid. ”

Bellamy shouted next to him, it was clear that it was almost over just now, but Locke suddenly put the cards away and sat next to Watson, obviously this was trying to repay the debt, but after seeing Viola, who came quietly to pour milk tea and was arrogant [yes, in Bellamy's eyes, it was tsundere] and glanced at the owner.

"I didn't recruit her from the servants' agency, but she just volunteered to serve me because she owed me some favors. ”

"Ah......h

After listening to Watson's reasoning, the three men showed disappointed expressions, and then stared at him with jealous eyes.

"Everyone can have lunch now, and the food is ready to be served. ”

Viola, who walked behind the couch, turned around and said.

"What have you been doing lately? Participating in the government's action to encircle and suppress the Hidden Snake Church and suppress the riots in Xicheng District?"

When everyone sat down at the table, Watson suddenly remembered that although he was resting at home these days, the chaos outside seemed to be continuing, and some scattered gunshots and explosions could still be heard from time to time.

"What does that have to do with us demon hunters, I did want to get some hidden snake emblems when I saw the tasks in the guild, but since you killed the head of their evil ghost department, these hidden snake cultists can't do it, and they are generally not visible, and sometimes they are finally found or sent out in groups, so I haven't done anything these days, and I'm thinking about taking on a mission. ”

Benjamin finished sorting out the cards, and as he spoke, he threw the bet on the previous bet between Watson and the two ------ a warrior-type dragon slayer card.

"I'm researching new spells at home, and I'm reading some spell theory books that have been popular among mages recently, so I haven't come out yet, do you want to see the explosive ice sculptures I made with ice spells? ”

"Don't, I think Watson's house can't resist the bombardment of your spells, this is rented by him, and you will lose money when the time comes." ”

Locke, who was sitting next to Marina, interrupted her to show off her newly learned explosive ice spell in front of everyone, receiving unanimous glances from the others.

"So to what extent has the situation outside developed now? Have those people from Xicheng been driven back?"

"Almost, some of the people in Xicheng District left after finding that there was nothing to grab, and the rest of the people couldn't make any waves after the government's army intervened, and the purpose of the Hidden Snake Church seemed to be almost accomplished, so it went underground again. ”

Locke said, taking a sip of the water on the table.

"Okay, so what has Bellamy been up to lately?"

"I didn't do anything either, but I heard a friend do a very troublesome task some time ago...... Do you want to hear it? The story is like a sitcom. ”

Bellamy, who was doing nothing, looked around at everyone and said.

"Tell me about it?"

Everyone turned their gaze to Bellamy, including Viola, who had just served a plate of beef soup.

"I heard him talk to someone on the second day of my visit to the Hidden Serpent Stronghold, and his face was very bad at the time, and my face was not very good after listening to it......

After a moment of emotional contemplation, Bellamy told her story in a deep voice.

The commission of the mission was issued by the mayor of a small town outside Rolanda City, and during that time, a corpse with an eyeball gouged out would appear in the town every once in a while, and the direction of the town's garrison police initial investigation was that there was a psychopathic murderer in the town, after all, everyone knew the original townspeople.

There are not many people in this kind of town, there are only a few hundred families in total, and the door-to-door inquiries have not found any clues, no one has seen a suspicious person near the scene of the murder, and no one knows what sneaky people have come to the town in the recent past.

Things came to an impasse, but the death toll didn't stop there, and it continued to rise every once in a while. The steady stream of deaths and the panic of the townspeople finally caught the attention of the higher commanders in the garrison.

In desperation, the garrison finally ordered that all the houses inhabited by those who were capable of committing these crimes in the town should be inspected to see if there were any signs in them, a method that was very old-fashioned and cumbersome, but it had to be admitted that it was also very useful in such a backward town.

An unexpected discovery made a breakthrough in the case, when the police searched the floor of a divorced man with a little boy in his home, and found the body of a boy whose eyes had been gouged out, which seemed to them that the murderer had finally been found.

A simple search, the man confessed to his crime of killing children but denied that he killed others, but it didn't matter, he would be the best reason to calm the panic in the town, but after he was imprisoned, the murder still happened, this time the dead man was already in prison and the murderer was actually a prison guard!

This time, the people in the garrison finally understood that this incident was definitely no longer such a simple homicide, and the murderer was no longer the perverted murderer they imagined, but some kind of more evil existence......

Bellamy said that this was the case.

"And then?"

The crowd asked.

"I still have to eat, the rest of the things are really disgusting, I can't eat this meal after I finish speaking, let me briefly mention it to you, that is, the murderer is the ghost of the boy, he is resentful because he was killed by his own father and finally satisfied himself by collecting other people's eyeballs, and the last monster my friend faced was a ...... Can you imagine that?"

"Let's eat......"

Thinking of that picture, Watson suddenly felt that why did he ask this, he was simply full.

"There are many more things like this, and we demon hunters often encounter this kind of resentful spirit in the missions we do, and this kind of monster is difficult to solve...... It's hard to find a way to get rid of them without figuring things out, just like the little boy's ghost was always in his hidden eyes. ”

"Every small town has its own ghost story----- and this local folklore is often spread between campfire parties or children who stay overnight at other people's homes, and the theme of the story generally does not leave "the ghost of someone who has been brutally murdered", and these children will grow up to share this ghost story with their children, continuing in a unique form the little secrets that belong only to the town and the hidden ghosts behind them. ”

Watson suddenly remembered what he had said at dinner with his dad before, and it seemed to fit very well here.

"Are you saying those stories are true?"

"Who knows...... Why don't you bring the food to you? Wait for us to help you? The servant should look like a servant!"

I don't know when Viola also sat on the chair next to the dining table and immersed herself in the story, and after Watson found out, he naturally asked her to hurry to serve the plate.
