Two things happened in Gust Town today.
The first thing was that this morning, Ms. Martin, who was herding sheep in the Zhenkou pasture, suddenly disappeared.
Because Ms. Martin is a devout believer, Burren Lang went to the ranch with the sheriff early because of this incident. After a hard day's work, I didn't find where Ms. Martin went.
However, there was some blood and minced meat near the place where Ms. Martin disappeared. Although it is still uncertain whether the minced meat is human tissue, the sheriff is not optimistic about the current situation of Ms. Martin.
That's why Braun Lang isn't in church all day today.
And the second thing was the death of Anthony, the nine-year-old son of tailor Sancy.
There is no direct connection between these two events, but because of the disappearance of Ms. Martin in the morning, the whole town of Gust was in a panic, and Tailor Sancy was also affected. When she finished dinner in the evening and was about to call Anthony to dinner, she found that no one else was there. Anthony was usually naughty, but Sancy Tailor was not very careful. Anthony would come back to eat when he was hungry.
But today, because of Ms. Martin's affairs, Tailor Sancy had an ominous premonition in her heart. She asked Anthony's usual friends only to find out that Anthony did not play with them today. They thought that Anthony was punished by Tailor Sansey and was not allowed to go out. .
Hearing this news, Tailor Sancy's sense of unease became more and more serious, and she hurried to find the sheriff for help.
Then, not long ago, the sheriff took a team of knights and questioned Anthony's friends, and finally found his body at the secret base where Anthony liked to stay the most.
"Is there still only the head left?" Alex asked softly with a deep look in his eyes.
Father Bron Lang nodded: "Yes, the body and limbs disappeared, only a head was placed on a tattered doll in Anthony's secret base."
Father Bron Lang had compassion in his eyes and a look of pain on his face.
Alex also looked sympathetic and sad, as if he could empathize with the pained Sancy tailor in the church.
But Alex's thinking was actually spinning around quickly, and his eyes became darker and darker.
After Father Bron Lang finished speaking, he added some details, and went to comfort the grieving family members and the residents who were disturbed by these two events.
Alex stepped back to the secluded side, looked at the chaotic scene in the church from a distance, and said softly, "The situation has escalated."
Angel, who was hiding aside, nodded.
Ms. Martin's disappearance, there is no conclusion, let's not talk about it for the time being. But most likely, she also died.
And Anthony's death was a watershed moment. Anthony's death was exactly the same as the previous series of murders, but the reason why the murderer wanted to kill Anthony was different.
In the past, including Knight Raven, Miss Camelot, etc., the reason for the death of this group of people was basically because they had to leave Gust Town and discovered the truth of the cage, which would lead to disaster.
But Anthony is different. This is a nine-year-old child. No matter how naughty he is, it is impossible for him to run alone dozens of miles away without the company of his family.
Moreover, Tailor Sancy said very clearly that when she got up in the morning, Anthony was still sleeping at home.
Anthony was killed in the evening after Tailor Sancy went to the tailor's shop in the morning.
In these few short hours, even with Anthony's footsteps, he could not run to the edge of the cage.
Therefore, the cause of Anthony's death is completely different from the series of murders.
If Raven Knight and Camelot are really the murderers who killed Anthony, then the situation has really escalated!
"Why did they kill Anthony?" Alex murmured.
"For a long time, there has been a constant event, and there has been a variable." Angel replied.
Alex also nodded: "Mrs. Connie's escape is indeed a variable. However, what I can't figure out is why they affected Anthony?"
When Alex was puzzled, Father Bron Lang called Alex and went to the place where Anthony died.
Because Anthony's head is still there, Father Bron Lang hopes to recite the Death of the Father for Anthony with Alex.
Angel also whispered to him: "Since you can't figure it out, you can see if you can't see it in the past."
Alex nodded.
Soon, a group of people left the church in a mighty manner, but because it was to chant the dead for the dead, the sheriff and Father Burren Lang persuaded the residents to go home first, and only let the collapsed Sancy Tailor follow them. .
Under the leadership of the sheriff, the group walked towards Anthony's secret base.
In the process of going to the secret base, Alex's brows became tighter and tighter.
The sheriff of Gust Town is a middle-aged man with a very conspicuous maroon beard. He found Alex's abnormality and asked suspiciously, "What's the matter with you?"
Everyone followed the sound, and Alex adjusted his expression slightly, and said in a low voice: "It's nothing, I'm just a little confused."
"Did you find anything? You might as well say it and listen." The sheriff didn't find anything, and he didn't think that Alex, the white-haired boy, would find anything, so there was some playfulness in his words.
"Naturally, I didn't find any clues. I just have a doubt. The route we are going on now seems to coincide with going to Ms. Martin's ranch?" Alex said.
The sheriff nodded: "There is indeed a certain distance overlapping, because Anthony's secret base is actually very close to Madam Martin's ranch, almost adjacent to each other."
"That's why we suspect that Ms. Martin may also..."
The sheriff didn't say the rest, but everyone understood that the possibility of Ms. Martin's accident was very high.
Perhaps in one day, there were two suspected murders, which made everyone uneasy. For the next part of the road, no one said any more.
Alex has also been dutifully performing sadness, but there are some doubts in his heart.
Not only did he find that Anthony's secret base had a path overlap with the ranch, he also noticed that it was a road leading out of town.
Moreover, if you continue along this road, it is actually the road to the Holy City!
Is there any connection here
Soon after, they came to Anthony's secret base.
This is a small house made of discarded iron sheets... It may be a bit far-fetched to say that the house is a bit far-fetched, because it looks like a pile of iron sheet garbage from the outside, but there is a narrow compartment inside.
When Alex entered this secret base, the first thing he saw was a bear doll on a dilapidated table.
However, at this time, the head of this yellow bear doll disappeared and was replaced by the head of a child.
It was Anthony.
Anthony closed his eyes tightly, his little face pale; the blood from the wound on his neck seeped into the bear doll, looking both a quiet sense of serenity and a strange sense of terror.
When others saw this scene, they either flinched in fear, or covered their mouths and wanted to vomit, but Alex was very calm, even to the point of indifference.
It wasn't until he noticed Father Bron Lang looking over that Alex's expression instantly turned sad.
"Let's start, for the poor people of God, recite the death ceremony of the Father God." Bron Lang said to Alex with some sadness.
Alex nodded. Witnessed by the sheriff, Tailor Sansey and others, he silently whispered about the death medal in the divine tome.
Although Alex seemed to be chanting seriously, Yu Guang was constantly looking at the scene, and there were not many things in the secret base.
The tin outer wall may be a bit messy, but the interior is actually neat.
Because of the neatness and simplicity, Alex immediately noticed the scarlet splashes on the four walls and the large pool of blood on the ground.
When Alex saw this, he seemed to realize something.
After Alex finished reciting the death ceremony, he left the secret base first with the excuse of grief and intolerance.
He walked to the side alone, and said to Angel who was hiding aside: "It's confirmed, this should be the first scene."
This means that Anthony was killed in his secret base.
At the same time, it also explained one thing, Anthony did not go to the barriers of the cage, otherwise he would not have died in the secret base.
And here is very far from the wall of the cage, why did they kill Anthony
When Alex was thinking, Angel's eyes turned to the other side: "There is Ms. Martin's ranch, I just went over and took a look, in that ranch, I can actually see this clearly. The secret base on the side."
Alex: "What do you mean?"
"I have a guess that maybe the reason for Anthony's death was because he saw something he shouldn't see, or someone who shouldn't be there." Angel: "And Ms. Martin, maybe for the same reason, she On my ranch, I saw what happened at the secret base..."
Hearing Angel's guess, how could Alex not understand what he meant. Just because he understood, he felt a chill down his spine.
The secret base and ranch are outside the town, and there is a road to the Holy City right here.
Could Anthony's death be due to seeing someone coming from the other side of the road
And see who will be killed? And this is the way to die
The answer is already obvious: only Raven Knight and Camelot!
Because of this answer, Alex felt a chill down his spine. According to this logic, continue to infer, Knight Raven and Camelot, maybe in... Alex couldn't help but look back at Gust Town.
The town of Gust at night is as quiet as a dead city.
Those two terrifying undead, perhaps somewhere in the town at the moment, are looking at them with ominous eyes.
