Chapter 101: Mysterious Manor
Before the girl could react to what had happened, we pinned her to the ground, causing her to scream in fright.
"Help, someone is robbing!"
The shop was located in the downtown area of Crescent Town, and as soon as she called out, a dozen local residents rushed in and surrounded the three of us in an instant.
"You bastards, let go of Little Joe, or we're welcome!"
"In broad daylight, you dare to rob in the downtown area, it's really bold!"
The inhabitants of Crescent Town, with sticks in their hands, watched us watch.
Now it's my turn to be dumbfounded, along the way, we have always dealt with evil things, and we have never had a conflict with so many ordinary people.
The rules of the Ma family, unless it is absolutely necessary, must not use spells on ordinary people, now that the other party is overwhelming, if there is a real conflict, the three of us will be unlucky.
So I quickly explained to everyone: "Don't get me wrong, we are not bad people!" ”
"We are disciples of the Ma family, and we came to Crescent Town this time to subdue the evil spirits, and I hope you don't stop it."
However, my explanation did not work, and only made the residents even angrier.
"You fart! Little Joe was raised by us, she is smart and kind, what does it have to do with evil? ”
"That's right, the reasons you made up are too clumsy, do you take us all for fools!"
Seeing those residents approaching again, Bai Ze suddenly became angry.
"These people are really stupid, Brother Bai, don't worry about so much, let's take this girl and rush out!"
"No way!"
Lonnie said: "They are all ordinary people, if they hurt the innocent and go against the original intention of the Ma family, let me come." ”
With that, Lonnie walked up to them and smiled kindly.
"Folks, we are indeed disciples of the Ma family, and the reason why we are sure that this girl is related to evil is not because there is no purpose, but because there is relevant evidence."
With that, Lonnie asked the girl, "Girl, we saw a strange skull tattooed on your shoulder just now, right?" ”
"Why do you want to draw such a horrible pattern on your body as a young girl?"
The girl was now free, her sore arms moving and frowning slightly.
"I have a tattoo like this on my back, but it doesn't mean anything, I just like this kind of tattoo, can't I?"
The residents next to her also expressed their support for the girl, and an uncle rolled up his sleeves to reveal the grudge tattoo on his arm.
"I said girl, your reason is too far-fetched, we people in Crescent Town like all kinds of tattoos, this doesn't mean anything at all, I have a resentful spirit tattooed on my arm, does it mean that I am also related to evil spirits?"
The rest of the residents of Crescent Town agreed with the uncle's words, and unbuttoned their clothes one after another, revealing the tattoos on their bodies.
All kinds of evil dragons, resentful spirits, and even Western demon patterns came into our eyes.
Seeing this scene, even the always astute Lonnie was speechless for a while, not knowing what to say.
Could it be that we have found the wrong person again?
"Cortana, come here."
I beckoned, and the little fox emerged from the crowd and jumped into my arms.
"Are you following the wrong person?"
The little fox's head shook like a rattle: "No, it is impossible for our flower fox to be wrong with their sense of smell, she is the girl I saw that day." ”
Huahu's judgment should not be wrong, and this girl is indeed very thin, which is no different from the photos that Lin Xiaoqi showed us before.
So, the target we found should be fine, but this girl didn't know about it, so it seems that there should be something else going on.
So I asked the girl, "Girl, I want to know if anything strange has happened to you since you got this tattoo?" ”
Xiao Qiao pondered for a few seconds and nodded.
"When you say that, I remember that the night I got my tattoo, I had a dream."
"I dreamed that I had come to a ruined manor, where the branches and leaves were withering, and the cold wind was gusting, and there was no figure around, but I was standing there by myself, feeling extremely desolate, and even when I woke up the next morning, the feeling of desolation still lingered in my heart, and I could not let go of it for a long time."
"What's even stranger is that every night after that, I would dream that I was standing in the middle of that manor, walking aimlessly along a road, and now even my daytime state was affected, I was mentally deficient, I was exhausted, and I felt that I was getting weaker and weaker."
Saying that Xiao Qiao couldn't stop yawning, it could be seen that the continuous strange dreams in the past few days had a great impact on her.
I immediately asked, "Do you remember what that manor looked like?" ”
Xiao Qiao nodded: "Because I have to wander there every day, I am very impressed by that manor." ”
So saying, Little Joe got up, sent the inhabitants out, and then invited us into a room behind the shop, spread out the pen and paper, and paint the manor according to his impressions.
"That's about it."
After a while, Xiao Qiao handed over the painted manor map.
I took one look and called the fox over.
"Cortana, you're most familiar with the situation around Crescent Town, have you ever seen this manor?"
Cortana leaned on the picture, stuck out her nose and sniffed for a while, then said, "This place is very familiar to me." ”
"I remember before I came to Crescent Town, I once passed by this manor, and there was a protective barrier around the manor, and the atmosphere inside was very strange, I didn't dare to enter, so I hurriedly ran away."
"Do you remember the approximate location of the manor? Take us there. ”
Cortana nodded, and ran out of the store to lead the way, while Lonnie and Bai Ze and I followed behind the fox, ready to go to the manor to find out.
"Master, wait!"
Before I could take two steps, Xiao Qiao suddenly followed, and looked at me a little embarrassed.
"Master, can you take me with you?"
I frowned slightly: "What are you doing there?" ”
"I've been interested in gods and ghosts since I was a child, and after a dream a few days ago, I saw a talking fox today, which really opened my eyes, I really want to go to the manor in my dream to have a look, you can take me."
I dissuaded her: "That manor is very weird, there may be some unknown danger in it, even a few of us can't ensure safety, you ordinary people should not go." ”
Xiao Qiao refused to give up easily: "Master, don't worry, I will definitely not cause trouble for you." ”
