Chapter 184 The young man from the grassland
Leaving moth scales inside Susan has the following benefits:
On the one hand, it can cause the other party to awaken the crazy and distorted nature after four days, plunge the town of Ilksmouth into a chaotic situation, and make it easier for them to act - after all, if the Crossroads Order has not yet arrived on the fifth day, If you can find clues to the library, you will probably have to follow the example of the group of outsiders who used violent methods to force the Cowell Hotel to hand over the remaining books.
Although Watson doubts whether the four members of the Crossroads can defeat the mysterious and mysterious owner of the Gowell Hotel in a head-on conflict, at least the town will be plunged into chaos by then, which will definitely make it easier for Watson to move.
The second is Susan's identity. She is Caroline's mother, and Caroline is Sebastian's future wife. This puts Susan under the control of the moth, and she may be able to take the opportunity to blackmail and control Sebastian. Tian - Even if you ignore the connection between the other party and the Gowell Hotel, the boy must be hiding other secrets. You must know that the moth in the skull has called the boy a little moth more than once.
Although Sebastian did not show any abnormal appearance in Watson's vision of the moth, it can be associated with the terrifying shapes of the other two people in the Gowell Hotel. Naturally, the boy cannot be an ordinary mortal. Perhaps the abnormal The body has been deeply hidden, or maybe the other party is born with a very high talent for moth phase.
The third time is...
But even Watson used so many excuses that he thought were reasonable to try to convince his heart, trying to cut off the shackles and chains that bound his heart with the blade of excuses.
But no matter how hard the blade turned into by these reasons and excuses slashed at the chain of the forbidden bar, it could only leave shallow scars and a series of sparks.
No matter how hard he tried, he could never break through the prohibition that his adoptive father had deeply imprinted on his mind.
——This is not a state of war, and Ms. Susan has never harmed me. She has even gained my trust under the influence of her heart and can be called a potential ally. Moreover, I have never learned of any evidence that she has committed a crime.
How could I harm such an innocent person? !
Watson's heart was full of boredom, depression and struggle. For the first time, he felt that his adoptive father's prohibitions were so troublesome. He couldn't help but want to throw away all these annoying rules as easily as he gave up serving and giving up. Untie the shackles left by your adoptive father and unbridledly release the wildness and killing in your heart.
But after so many years of teaching, these prohibitions that restrain him from venting his abnormal desire to kill have long been engraved in the depths of Watson's mind like muscle instinct.
Even though he has now come to another world and changed into another body, it is still difficult to escape the shackles of the forbidden bar - whenever he wants to kill or torture, the self-interrogation of the forbidden bar will always be in his mind. The tremors echoed.
This is not the first time that deformed desires conflict with the prohibitions of his adopted father, but Watson has never felt such an urgent need to break free - he wants to act without restraint, he wants to be free as never before, and he wants to taste howling. And the sweetness of death!
In the fierce struggle between the rational superego and the primitive self, Watson's forehead began to shed fine sweat, and his eyes were filled with the color of struggle.
Susan didn't know that the young man in front of her, Mr. John, who was also burdened with a blood feud like her, was deciding her future at the moment. She only thought that this young man was also touched by her story and fell into what happened to him that year. Painful memories of cultist attacks.
The empathy in her heart was not over yet. She took out her handkerchief with compassion and wiped the sweat from the other person's forehead. She was organizing words in her heart. She should persuade the other person to let go of her hatred just like the other person had just persuaded her. My child, you are still young. , you should enjoy the beauty of this world, instead of clinging to the hatred of the past——
However, before her handkerchief touched John's forehead, the other party suddenly took half a step back as if awakened, looked at her with an indescribable strange look, and then immediately put on that gentle smile. He nodded with a smile and said: "Thank you, Ms. Susan, I will never forget your help, and please live a good life."
After saying these words, Mr. John seemed to be deep in thought. He sat back on the sofa in the hall, keeping a certain distance from Susan, as if he didn't want Caroline and Sebastian to go downstairs. Saw the conversation between the two.
Susan also knew that the hatred of the previous generation should not be passed on to the next generation, so she continued to wash the dishes silently.
The young couple upstairs seemed to have endless topics to talk about. Whispers and laughter kept coming from the ceiling, but in the ears of Watson, whose hearing was as sharp as a knife, he felt that those topics were so boring and boring, but For young people in love, as long as each other is by their side, everything will be full of fun.
Until it was time for afternoon tea, Susan prepared hot tea and desserts and shouted: "Caroline, little Sebastian, afternoon tea has begun!"
Only then did the young couple agree to leave the room and go downstairs.
They stayed until the evening. Sebastian took the fresh vegetables that Ms. Susan had prepared to provide to the Cowell Hotel. He waved to Caroline reluctantly, and then climbed back to the cliff at sunset.
However, the young man who was still immersed in the sweet taste of love did not notice that when Mr. John, who was traveling with him, left Ms. Susan's courtyard, he inadvertently glanced at the uninhabited lane next to him from the corner of his eye.
If Sebastian also possesses sentient perception and sharp vision, and follows Mr. John’s gaze at this moment, he will find a thin man standing in the shadow of an abandoned house in the corner of an empty alleyway. figure.
That was Mr. Khalsa who was traveling with Mr. John, and he was looking at the pink and pure white house from a distance at the moment, looking at the girl who was still standing at the door of the house watching her boyfriend go away, licking his tongue over the pale His lips and eyes gleamed with a fierce lust of greed and evil.
………………
Late at night, after enjoying that weird dinner, Watson followed Melanie's guidance and came to an empty house in the town that had been abandoned for many years but was still intact.
The doors and windows in the house were closed and dark. In the empty hall, four figures were sitting on the wooden benches left by the original owner. They were silent to each other. The only sound was the tapping of shoes on the ground again and again.
Melanie: "Everyone, please report today's situation - John, I'll start with you. I see that you followed the boy from the hotel around the town for a day today. Did you find any useful clues?"
John: "I found out that eighteen years ago, a team suspected of being a lantern esoteric cult launched an attack on the Gowell Hotel and the town, mainly to rob the Gowell Hotel's collection of books. In the process, the Gowell Hotel was razed. To level the ground, more than half of the townspeople were killed or injured - I have a list here of the addresses of the townspeople who participated in the reconstruction of the hotel. The specific locations are as follows - "
Melanie: "Well, I also know something about this matter. This is the main reason why these townspeople are full of hatred towards us outsiders. But I didn't get the reconstruction list. John, you did a good job!"
"Karsa, Lido, where are you two?"
Khalsa: "I also learned about the attack eighteen years ago from the mouths of two immortals, but there is no more detailed information."
Lido: "I searched the cliff where the Cowell Hotel is located today. There is a natural protruding stone platform behind the cliff. I originally suspected that it was the entrance to the new library, but I could only use Qi's magic to open it by force. There is a tiny crack in the rock, and it seems that there is no entrance hidden there. I think the possibility of a secret library hidden in the cliff can be ignored for the time being. "
Melanie: "Well, I will visit the list John mentioned one by one tonight, but please continue to search the surrounding places. There are less than four days left, so please hurry up! If you have been We still haven’t found the location of the secret library on the last day, so we must follow the example of the Lantern Cult team back then and use violence to forcefully interrogate the hotel.”
"But this is a tactic that should only be used as a last resort. The owner and housekeeper of the Cowell Hotel must be secret agents with the power of secret transmission. A head-on conflict may cause losses to our team. I don't want you to do anything under my leadership. If anything goes wrong, please continue to search carefully——"
"Karsa, I'm talking about you! Don't think that I don't know what you did. Those old immortals are just two of your toys, right? I won't restrict your desire to spread the cup, but the premise is not to affect Our mission!”
"In the next two days, I hope you can restrain yourself a little and have a little fun, but don't cause any loss of life... Now is not the best time to cause chaos. You still need to be patient."
"If you really decide to have a head-on conflict with the Cowell Hotel in four days, then you can spread the desire of the cup unscrupulously and let these mortals feel the temptation of the Mother of Mountains."
Khalsa: "Hey, what Sister Melanie said makes sense! Don't worry, I will definitely not kill anyone again - I just want to test how to stir up the desire of the aging body. Unexpectedly Those two immortals are so ignorant of restraint that they will continue to enjoy themselves even when they reach the end of their lives."
Melanie: "Haha."
"Do the three of you have any additional information to add? If not, let's adjourn the meeting tonight. Please restrain your desire to spread the rules for the time being. It's okay to have fun, but don't miss the business!"
The four figures silently nodded and stopped uttering words of walking, and then parted ways in the dark night when the full moon was also covered by dark clouds, leaving from different directions.
And Khalsa once again came to the house that was particularly dazzling even in the middle of the night. He looked at the lights in the house that were completely extinguished, and recalled the graceful figure he had seen during the day, and couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"Hehehe, Melanie seems to have just asked us not to kill anyone, right?"
"Then if I just played around until I was half dead, then it shouldn't be considered a violation of Melanie's order, right?"
Khalsa thought so, and suddenly felt that his excuse was not very convincing to Melanie... Forget it! Never mind her! She, Melanie, also joined the sect at the same time as me. Our qualifications and strength are almost the same. She was able to become the leader of this group because of the light of the secret transmission, which made Deputy Cult Master Nero mistakenly believe that Her rationality can control the team!
Bah, if you ask me, you might as well let me be the team leader. In other words, I would have already let all the church members do it! How can you reason with these ignorant mortals? There is no anti-suppression force here, so what a fright!
"Hehe -" Khalsa rubbed his palms together and smiled evilly. He was already determined to have a good time tonight, "I didn't expect that in this backward coastal town, there would be such a plump and charming pair. And the young and beautiful mother-daughter flower!”
"If I don't cherish such delicacies before my eyes, I'm afraid even the great scavenging crow will punish me from heaven!"
………………
In the early morning of the next day, Sebastian slept deeply last night, and the familiar nightmare did not disturb him. He had no idea that the four guests had secretly gathered in the middle of the night again.
The boy felt a little pity that he didn't meet Mr. John on his morning jog in the morning. He also thought about continuing to travel with Mr. John today, so that he could also listen to him tell more interesting stories about the outside world.
The more he listened, the more majestic and spectacular the world became. He wanted to know how humans control the power of thunder and lightning, wanted to see with his own eyes how the steam in the pot pushed the steel train forward, and wanted to take a huge cruise ship to travel around the world. Seeing a different scenery...but what should Caroline do?
The young man thought of his fiancée and fell into struggle and contemplation. If he wanted to become an explorer who yearned for freedom, it seemed that he would not be able to raise a family and get married to Caroline smoothly... But I really I like Caroline very much, and I also want to take her with me to explore the unknown world... That's right! Who says explorers can't be couples? I just need to take Caroline with me on the trip!
"Well, I'm going to discuss with Caroline how to leave the town. My premonition has become stronger and stronger recently. I feel that in a few days I may be able to successfully get rid of my grandfather's control and leave this backward town. The town...ah! That beautiful unknown world is waiting for me to explore!”
So Sebastian went straight to the pink and pure white courtyard.
However, he had just approached the door of the pure white house, and before he could push the door open, he immediately smelled a strange but familiar smell that was neither fragrant nor fishy, leaking from the gap in the open door. come out.
Sebastian's sense of smell has been extremely sensitive since he was a child. He recognized the familiar source of this smell almost immediately. It was the smell that he always smelled after having a nice time with Caroline. However, it was unusually strong at this moment. It's dozens of times richer than before!
The boy's always sensitive intuition suddenly shook his head. He seemed to have guessed the disgusting scene in the house, but he still pushed the door open tremblingly.
124 wrote some cups, and it entered the palace as soon as it was sent out... It seems that the author still didn't grasp the scale of the cup.
