Rog ran in horror on the bumpy roads of Merras Town, the long-term high-speed run had already made the mayor of the town begin to feel a little weak in his hands and feet, his lungs were burning with pain from breathing, his temples were also jumping and his head was dizzy, but he didn't dare to stop, it was all because of the black tide that kept chasing him behind him.

It was a swarm of rats, a group of countless gray-haired mice, and they were following Rogge in groups, so many that it felt like they were seeing a constant tidal wave. At the forefront of the rat colony, there are several huge giant rats with a strong sense of presence that clearly stand out from the rat group, most of their body size is similar to that of cats, which has completely exceeded the size that mice can have, which is also one of the reasons why they have a strong sense of existence, and what is even more chilling is that these giant rats have exactly the same face as people!

Even though the faces of these rats had shrunk once, Rogge could still recognize who these people were, some of them were townspeople who had disappeared before and their whereabouts were unknown, and some of them were townspeople who had come to the town's church at noon***.

There is no doubt that these leading rats are the same townsfolk who have been turned into human-faced rats by the Piper!

And Rogge is now chased by the rats like a dog, and he does not dare to relax in a circle with them on the streets of the town, and if he takes a wrong step and an accident happens, I am afraid that his life will be lost.

Maybe God really likes to play tricks on people, or maybe the long-term high-intensity running made the mayor of the town who was not physically strong feel tired, but the accident still appeared when he ran through the church, his feet suddenly lost strength and failed to stand firmly, and the whole person fell forward to the ground, and at the same time he fell, the tide of rats also separated to both sides, and surrounded him among a large number of mice.

Hundreds of rats' eyes flashed a terrifying red light, and they all looked restless, looking like they could rush to gnaw at Rogge's bloody corpse like old John at any moment, but they were obviously not low in organization as witches' envoys, and they would not pounce on them until they had officially ordered an attack

The leading human-faced rats had a hideous and cruel smile on their faces, and the corners of their mouths still had the blood and flesh residue left behind after eating the living, and they couldn't help licking their lips, admiring Rogge's face distorted by fear from different directions and angles, and let out a squeaky sound like a mouse, suppressing the rats around them, and then approaching Rogge step by step with the rats.

The human-faced rats did not put the process of shrinking the encirclement very quickly, on the contrary, the process of their contraction encirclement was very slow, even to the extent that they were slowly approaching step by step, and a large number of rats flashed with a frightening red light in their eyes, and they approached Rogge little by little with an almost slow speed, obviously they could rush up, but under the command of the human-faced mouse, these rats still used this slow way to get close to this unfortunate prey.

They are playing with their prey.

They want to see themselves hopeless, frightened by the imminent death, and they take pleasure in it

For some reason, Rogge also read the other party's intentions from the actions of the human-faced rats and the rat swarm, and when this terrible conjecture came to his mind, he suddenly felt like he was falling into an ice cave, extremely desperate.

For a while, the horrific memories of the townspeople being turned into human-faced rats by the Piper, the expressions of his best friends kicking him out of the church to ask for help, the experience of being used as a human shield by Otto dancing on the tip of a throwing knife, and the disgusting images of the rats eating people to death came to his heart, and the series of events he had experienced in the past few days had already made Rogge feel deeply tired and powerless, and the upheavals and blows that had occurred today made him even more exhausted.

Once, he and Ilson wanted to cut off the tragic cycle of the witch's curse, and the two of them, as the mayor of the town and the priest of the town, actually knew that in the historical witch trial records in the town of Meras, there were actually many innocent people who were implicated, some of them were witches who had never used the power of witches, and some townspeople who were not witches at all. And the townsfolk often use the death of the family's cow, the curse of the witch, the witch's turn into a ghost, and other completely untenable accusations, wantonly exert malice on the people they hate.

As long as one person accuses someone else of being a witch, then more and more people in the town will accuse him of being a witch, and everyone will swear to make up false deeds of witches and accusations against him, and some of them may also stand up and complain about the defendant, but soon the blind and stupid townspeople will also accuse the wrongdoer of being a witch and be sentenced to death. Fun Cabinet

And the judge doesn't care about the defendant's defense at all, no matter how much the defendant who is regarded as a witch proves his innocence, no matter how much evidence he shows to prove his innocence, it is useless, after being sentenced to death, soon the people in the town will divide the remaining wealth of the witch, and no one cares where the witch will be buried, whether it will expose the body to the wilderness.

Rog and Ilson feel injustice and anger at this, and they want to prevent this tragedy from happening, not only to prevent this persecution, but also to prevent the misfortune that happened to the witch.

They tried to send the children in the town to study in the big cities outside the town, and taught the townspeople to teach the townspeople in the town church to teach them to understand reason, hoping to use more scientific and rational explanations to dispel and dilute the townspeople's blind fear of some natural phenomena, and then reduce the indiscriminate persecution of people who are suspicious of witchcraft because of natural phenomena.

They have also found many ways to cut off or break the curse of misfortune on the witch, and they have also cared for the townspeople who are living in misfortune, and have done their best to support and help them, hoping to help them out of their misfortunes.

But all attempts failed.

He and the priest Elsen were unable to find a way to cut off the witch's misfortune, nor were they able to control the situation in Melastown, many of them were killed for their stupid and naïve attempts, and most of the remaining people were turned into human-faced rats.

In the end, Rog felt as if all his life had been a failure, that he had done nothing and had achieved nothing

He felt tired and wanted to give up.

Maybe it's okay to die here

Rogge clenched the necklace of the cross in his hand, which he had snatched from a house after being thrown out of the witch barrier by Otto, when the rats were gnawing on a person's body with relish, and the flesh and blood were so unrecognizable that the flesh and blood were no longer screaming, and the necklace fell in the crowd of rats next to the man.

Sure enough, I couldn't even do the trivial task of retrieving my best friend's relics

He closed his eyes, gave up his last struggle, and sat on the ground waiting for death.

However, the expected sharp pain did not come, and instead came to Rog's ears with a high-pitched, fierce mouse cry.

Squeak squeak!

The sound was hard to hear, as if someone was clutching the blackboard with his nails, which made Rogge so uncomfortable that goosebumps fell to the ground, and he couldn't help but open his eyes to see a surprising scene slowly surrounding him, and a lot of chaos broke out in the mouse, although more than half of the mice were still advancing, but the other half of the mice had undergone strange changes.

The rats with scarlet eyes first stopped moving forward, and then stopped in place for a moment, and then with another squeak, they suddenly opened their mouths to bite the rat companions who were moving forward, and the force was so great that they could often see the bloody scene of biting off the hands and feet of other rats, or biting off a large piece of flesh on their bodies, and those rats who were bitten off a large piece of meat were also angry, and they immediately gave up the command to carry out the human-faced rat to move on, and turned their heads to bite into a piece with their provocative mouse partners.

This chaos spread rapidly, and even the first few human-faced rats were not spared, perhaps because they felt that the human-faced rats had a physical advantage, and those rats that suddenly went crazy were still bitten by swarms.

The order of the rat pack suddenly fell into a state of collapse, and the encirclement was no longer so closely focused on the infighting and the rats who ate their companions, and there was little time to pay attention to Rogge.

Infighting?

Rogge looked at the rat group that suddenly fell into cannibalism, and his heart was full of such doubts, but even if there was no change in the rat group, it was difficult to maintain the encirclement due to the cannibalism between the rats, and there was no way to arouse the mayor's desire to survive.

Even if there were many flaws in the encirclement, he didn't have them

He was tired and didn't want to struggle any longer, even if the rats fell into a short cannibalism, he would only wait quietly for the moment when the rats would come and kill him after killing their companions.

However, just as Rogge was thinking this, a human-faced mouse slowly came to him, and after seeing the appearance of the human-faced mouse, his eyes, which had already lost his vitality, contracted suddenly, revealing an unbelievable expression.

It was a human-faced rat with brown eyes.

He knew the appearance of this face rat

Squeak squeak!

The sharp and piercing mouse cry resounded in his ears, and the brown-eyed human-faced mouse had an anxious look on its face, and kept squeaking, but Rog felt as if he was gradually deaf, and a buzzing sound in his brain was far away, and he looked at the human-faced mouse in a daze with a painful and sad expression, and he wanted to stop talking.

The cannibalism in the rat colony is nearing its end, and several leading human-faced rats have cleared out the rats besieging them, and those rats that have suddenly gone crazy are also being eliminated one by one, and the chaotic rat colony is returning to order little by little.

The brown-eyed human-faced rat was still squeaking anxiously, but soon he bit Rog's arm as if he realized something, stimulating the other man with pain to wake up, and then instead of squeaking as before, he struggled to make an obscure and incomprehensible sound.

Absinthe goes away from the heart and does not regret the oil

Hurry up, rest assured, I'll be fine.

Rogge's eyes widened, tears welled up in his sockets, the brown-eyed human-faced mouse looked deeply at the cross necklace in his hand, stretched out his paws and gently pulled on the cross twice, and a grateful smile appeared on the wrinkled face, but this time Rogge didn't leave alone like last time, he grabbed the human-faced mouse with strange eyes without thinking about it, and led the other party to rush out of the encirclement of the rat group, and those rats that fell into chaos also restored order at this moment, Under the angry and twisted cry of the human-faced mouse, he quickly chased after him, and was about to surround Rogge again.

But at this moment, the brown-eyed human-faced rat that was held in Rogge's arms violently broke free of its embrace, and under the stunned gaze of the former, it rushed towards the human-faced rat chasing behind him without hesitation, and a flying pounce pressed the other party under him, and bit off its throat, and then was quickly engulfed by the rats that followed up.

At the same time, the familiar voice came again.
