Led by the tour guide who also served as an interpreter, Anna followed the others to check into a primitive hotel that was half stone and half wood.
Although the environment of the hotel in the village was very simple, it was very clean, and the hotel owner and the waiters were extremely enthusiastic, to the point of being a little abnormal.
Even when Anna needed to change her shoes, an eight-year-old boy knelt on the ground to change them for her.
The tour guide said it was a local feature, but Anna clearly sensed hidden fear in the child's eyes.
Anna was sitting on a lounge chair on the vintage stone balcony, enjoying the warm sunshine while she picked up the phone and communicated with the Broken God.
"Haha, you guys are really interesting. I never thought that you would get involved in the tourism industry despite the pursuit of the IMF. It turns out that even the most mysterious organizations need money to spend."
"If you thought they were normal, the IMF wouldn't have bothered the Blind Sisterhood."
"Oh? Do they do anything else? Human sacrifice or something?"
Anna looked around behind her sunglasses. Just now, she discovered something strange: the people living in this peaceful resort seemed to seldom blink.
"Don't think that everyone is as evil as you are. My people still need some time to prepare. We will proceed as planned at one o'clock this evening."
The Broken God hung up the phone after he finished speaking, but Anna did not put the phone down. She simply clicked a few buttons on the small screen and pretended to play the JAVA game on it.
With the help of sunglasses, Anna observed the lush green mountain in the distance. She could not see anything. Everything on the mountain was covered by green.
According to the Broken God, the so-called Blind Sisterhood is among them, and they possess an anomaly that can modify memories.
Time passed little by little, and the sun in the sky gradually moved westward. When Anna saw a fat man with curly hair standing on the balcony opposite her and stretching, she realized that the Futan believers were ready for everything.
At dusk, the golden sunset cast a layer of gold on the small mountain village and the distant mountains, which looked extremely beautiful. Tourists came out to take photos.
In order not to look out of place, Anna also picked up the camera.
"Hmm, this Frun! Can you please help me Ta en bild, please? Thank you!"
A girl about the same age as Anna waved the camera in her hand and asked Anna in halting English mixed with Swedish.
Looking at the freckles on the tip of the nose of the petite girl in front of her, Anna smiled and nodded, then took the camera and started taking pictures of her.
In such a beautiful place, the other party obviously wanted to take more photos. He excitedly posed in various ways, and the joy on his face seemed to glow under the golden sunset.
While taking the photos, Anna realized something was wrong. Someone was secretly watching her in the crowd.
After shooting from different angles, Anna quickly found her out. She was an old woman wearing black nun's uniform.
"Tack s mycket!" The girl gave Anna a big hug, then left happily with the camera she had taken.
As soon as the little girl left, the old nun who had been hiding gave up hiding and walked up to Anna.
She kissed the inverted black wooden cross in her hand and said in her tired and old voice: "Servant of the Invisible, the white cat is eating your footprints."
Anna took off her sunglasses, pretended to be puzzled and asked, "Are you talking to me?"
The old nun nodded silently. "Red Moon is dead, and Blazing Sun is gone too. They are destined to never be resurrected."
"I'm sorry, I don't quite understand, could you translate it for me?"
The old nun looked at Anna with regret, shook her head, turned around and slowly walked into the crowd.
As Anna raised her right hand and tapped lightly on the frame of her sunglasses with two fingers, a Futan believer in the crowd followed slowly, blending in the colors of the surroundings like a chameleon.
When the sun completely set below the mountain, the man came back and said that the old nun had returned to the only church in the tourist village and there was nothing unusual.
Anna was puzzled as to what the old nun was talking about.
The tourist village is still very lively at night, with tourists barbecuing next to the huge bonfire.
The villagers in the village were still busy and enthusiastic, and their attitude towards Anna had not changed at all.
Anna felt a little uneasy because of the nun's incoherent words. She even suspected that the other party had already begun to ambush her.
I picked up my phone and checked the time. It was already nine o'clock in the evening, and there were still four hours left until the deadline.
Looking up at the mountain in the distance that had completely merged into the darkness, Anna asked the other Futan believers to be vigilant and hold off for the time being.
Regardless of whether the other party has noticed it or not, now that we have come this far, there is no plan to retreat.
Anyway, those who were broken are the main force, and I am just an auxiliary. In case of any accident later, I can escape at any time.
As time passed, the bustling tourist village became quiet. Tourists walked towards their accommodation in twos and threes, and it was already eleven o'clock.
Anna took off her high heels, put on the slippers handed to her by the little boy, and walked into her room.
“Darkness is destined to be driven out by the sun, but unfortunately it is only driven out.”
The sudden voice from behind made Anna's back shiver instantly. When she turned her head quickly, she saw the little boy kneeling on the ground, holding Anna's pair of high heels and putting them into the shoe cabinet next to him.
"Were you the one who spoke just now?" Anna asked hesitantly.
The boy didn't look back, but looked down at the floor.
Anna finally said nothing and went straight into her bedroom.
As soon as she returned to the bedroom, Anna's calm expression suddenly became extremely solemn, and she leaned towards the window.
If he could have gotten away with it the previous time by saying that the nun had Alzheimer's, then with the boy just now, he couldn't get away with it no matter what.
There must be something wrong here. She was being targeted. The enemy was in the dark and we were in the light. The current situation was not favorable for Anna.
"How long will your people last? I think they have already noticed us." Anna dialed the Broken God's number.
"Please have confidence in yourself. You are already very strong. They are definitely not as difficult to deal with as the IMF, otherwise they would not be hiding here." A cassette-like voice came from the phone.
"Don't flatter me. I only agreed to assist you from the side. If you plan to use me as bait, then you are thinking the wrong way. If your people don't come again, I will take them back directly."
