Watson didn't know where the withered wooden hands came from, but its purpose was very clear, that is, to absorb the life of this little girl and devour the spiritual power in her mind, but why did the owner of these wooden hands know that there was a little girl here? This is another question worth pondering. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

To say that the master of the wooden hand has reached the strength to be able to search for such a little girl with weak vital signs in the entire mountain, Watson does not believe it, in his opinion, there must be something in this little girl that attracts the appearance of the wooden hand.

While he was thinking, the little girl who was wrapped in the demon hunting trench coat opened her eyes, felt the warmth around her body and the bright yellow bonfire in front of her, twisted her body a little and felt that she was wrapped in a coat, and looked up with great effort to see Watson who was thinking.

"I ...... How could it be here?"

Recalling her last memory before she fell unconscious, the little girl's body trembled and asked the person in front of her.

"Why do you come out in this weather, if I find you later, you will probably be buried in a blizzard. ”

Hearing the little girl's hoarse voice, Watson handed over a piece of roast meat and the juice warm around his waist, and the latter swallowed it.

"Because...... Because I'm going to save Hazy Town! I'm going to save them!"

The look on the girl's face was very firm, just like the tenacity of the spiritual power Watson had felt in her mind before, but this answer made Watson's brows subconsciously wrinkle, he had just seen the scars under the little girl's clothes, and it was obvious that she had not had a good life before.

"Can you tell me how you're going to save Hazytown? I want to know what's going on, those townsfolk need a little girl to save them. ”

Secretly clenching the branch in his hand, Watson whispered about the girl as he remembered a mission he had undertaken with Maury's father.

The little girl was eating the food and juice that Watson handed over, while slowly telling the situation in Hazy Town, her eyes were full of sadness and determination, she didn't notice that Watson's face next to her was getting worse and worse, and the branch in his hand had already been crushed by him unconsciously.

The little girl's name is Vivian, and her parents are residents of Hazy Town, and the residents here are not specific, but general! That is to say, Vivian doesn't know who her real parents are, she grew up eating hundreds of family meals since she was a child, and the residents of Hazy Town take turns to provide her with food and necessities.

Because for as long as she can remember, it was a group of children living in a place similar to an orphanage, and according to the director of the orphanage, they were all children abandoned by their parents in Hazy Town, and Hazy Town couldn't bear to see them die like this, so she set up this orphanage to support them.

Life in the orphanage was not as peaceful as Watson thought, not that there was a lack of food and clothing, on the contrary, the food in the orphanage was very good, and it could even be said that it was too good, with meat at the meal and drinks such as milk often available, which was something that other orphanages could not think of.

However, perhaps there is a price to be paid for this kind of life, so the beautiful material conditions of these orphans' childhood are tortured by Watson in the eyes of Watson.

First of all, the children began to be whipped every day around the age of 6, initially as a soft whip made of plush, but as they grew older, the whip became thicker and harder, and the pain of these children increased day by day, and the orphanage explained that this method would allow them to grow stronger and contribute to the town of Hazy in the future......

The uneducated children did not know what the whipping meant, they just subconsciously obeyed and took the words of the director and the orphanage staff to heart, and practiced it.

As for the children who "slept" during the whipping, they were never heard from after they were taken away, and the dean said that they had been adopted and gone to other people's homes......

Second, when the children reach the age of about 10, they undergo what is called an examination in an orphanage, and those who are said to be in poor health are sent to the "hospital" for treatment, while those who are in good health continue to stay and be whipped day after day.

After they are ten years old, there will be a physical examination every year, and each time a batch will be screened out, and Vivien is the last remaining batch, and some time ago she was also told the most important mission in her life, in order to "take care" of Hazy Town for so many years, in order to allow more children to be "taken care of", she needs to dedicate herself to the gods of the mountain, so that it can continue to protect the residents of Hazy Town from harm and can live happily ever after.

Growing up in an orphanage, Vivien knows what giving means...... But for the sake of the children, she was willing to do so, and despite her fear, she agreed to the request of the orphanage director without hesitation, and entered the mountain with several other children who were also left behind.

"Can I ask if there are any new kids coming to that orphanage lately?"

Trying to calm his mind, Watson asked in a deep voice about the one thing he was most concerned about right now.

"Hmm...... Every year there is a new batch of orphans, I don't know why so many orphans come every year, are there many parents who don't want to have their own children?"

"Maybe!!"

Orphans may not be uncommon, but every year a large number of orphans are transported to the orphanage in Hazy Town, is it really that good that the orphanage here is so famous?

There are also years of whipping, others may not know what the point of doing this is, but Watson knows it very well!

Under what circumstances does a person's potential be most aroused? It is nothing more than when certain emotions accumulate to their peak! fear, anger, sadness, and ...... The orphanage relies on daily whipping to stimulate the potential in these young children, and those who truly possess some kind of talent will naturally find an awakening in this pain!

And those who are not gifted, or those who are not talented enough, have already been eliminated in the whipping and screening again and again, how cruel this screening method is, many young children are estimated to have been tortured into a puppet before they have formed their own thoughts......

Even the most gifted children were sacrificed, yes, it was a sacrifice, and Watson had the same experience with Maury, where monsters or demons made a sacrificial contract with a single human or a group of people, and as long as they could receive the sacrifice every year, they would fulfill their promises.

"These bastards! I'm going to make you pay!"

Cursing in a low voice, even Watson, who had seen a lot of all kinds of disgusting monsters, did not expect that there would be more disgusting among humans, he wanted to continue this mission, and let those culprits enjoy this desperate pain!

"Sir, why are you here?"

Vivien's question made Watson suddenly sound the purpose of his visit, to destroy a monster...... Now that I think about it, this monster may be the monster enshrined by the forces behind the orphanage, but why did they agree to the villagers to issue a mission to kill it this time? Could it be that there was a problem with the contract? or something else......

"I was invited by your town to come and destroy an evil monster, you follow me next, and I will help you...... Don't call me sir, call me uncle, I should be older than you. ”

"Yes...... I also have to protect the town, and they need my help...... I have to leave. ”

As if thinking of something, Vivien suddenly struggled to get out of the demon hunting coat, as if intending to leave the cave and continue back into the blizzard.

"No, you don't have to sacrifice yourself, I'm here, I'll protect you!"

Reaching out and rubbing Vivien's hair, thinking of the desperate girl he had met, and the sad look of his father, Watson's eyes were full of pity when he looked at this little girl, she didn't deserve such a fate, he told himself in his heart.

"Why do you want to protect me? What is my existential existence...... Isn't it to protect the townspeople?"

"Would you like to hear me tell a story, the story of a girl who looks like you, even with her hair. ”

Without answering Vivian's question directly, Watson stroked her pink hair and looked at the campfire in front of him, his memory slowly returning to that winter a few years ago.

He had told Viola about the story, but it was only a small part of the story, and Watson slowly stroked Vivien's hair and told the story of the story.

I don't know when, Vivien was already leaning on Watson's shoulder, her eyes full of condensed tears.

"Hehe, silly girl, she saved the whole town, and she saved me, but she didn't save herself...... I didn't have any power to stop it from happening, but now, I'm not going to let you do it again!"

Whew!Whew!!

The blizzard suddenly intensified at this moment, and the evil thoughts that had disappeared before appeared in Watson's perception again, this time it was no longer only spiritual power, outside the cave, something was approaching......

"You are waiting for me here, remember, your fate should be chosen by you, you don't live for others!"

Feeling the flame of anger already burning in his chest, Watson pulled out the twin knives from his waist and walked towards the hole, he wanted the monster to understand that sometimes humans are not just some despicable scum!

Reaching out to stroke the hair that still had the residual warmth of Watson's palm, it seemed that no one had ever cared so much about her, and no one had ever touched her hair so gently, feeling some inexplicable emotion in her heart, Vivian's eyes once again involuntarily left tears.

Watson, who walked out of the cave, left a dark energy barrier at the entrance of the cave to prevent other creatures from entering the cave to harm Vivien during the time he left, and rode the re-enlarged dumpling all the way to the place where the evil thoughts in the sense existed.

In the snow behind him, several black dead branches were silently extending towards the cave, and the branches stopped when they were about to touch the dark energy barrier, as if sensing that there was an invisible barrier in front of them, and without temptation, they stayed in front of the dark energy barrier for a while, then turned away and began to extend into the rock formation below the cave entrance......
