Chapter 120: Taboo

Views:

Denise's ghost is possessed by 'Rondo''s cubs.

The body was stared at by unknown things again.

How popular is this

Almost instinctively, Jason cocked his nostrils.

pity…

No food aroma at all.

Then, Jason looked at Denise with scrutiny.

And Dennis

He didn't notice it at all, just laughed so excitedly and danced around in circles, like... a runaway Erha.

Not only stupid, but also crazy.

What is so special about such a Erha girl

Jason couldn't help asking himself.

Am I wrong

Somewhat skeptical, Jason took the initiative to speak.

"Have you had any special experiences?"

Jason asked.

"A special experience?"

"I was hit by a carriage, fell into a puddle, and was bitten by a dog when I was a child. Does it count?"

"Several times!"

Denise replied after serious thinking.

"except this."

"I mean contact with the mysterious side."

Jason frowned, and had no choice but to ask in more understandable words.

"have!"

"You!"

Denise pointed at Jason.

"except me."

"Except for the monster I just purified and the existence in the coffin."

"Has anything happened to you recently?"

Jason had to narrow down the rhetorical question again.

"emmm..."

"When I was watching the circus before, that malt candy was very sweet."

"Sweeter than any candy I've ever eaten!"

After thinking seriously again, Denise gave a thing that she thought was most important to her.

sugar

Jason narrowed his eyes, and then continued to ask, "Has that girl's family ever come to mourn you?"

"No!"

"Even the little girl couldn't be found."

"Besides, my mother said that the little girl must have evaded the fare!"

Denise shook her head.

Then, suddenly, she became angry.

"hateful!"

"How did she get in? The conductor there is very sharp!"

"I worked part-time for three weeks before I saved up the money for the circus tickets."

Listening to Denise's indignant description, Jason began to connect information in his mind:

A little girl slipped into the circus that even Denise couldn't evade the fare.

Then, an accident happened.

The little girl was saved, and Denise, who was protecting the little girl, 'died'.

According to common sense, the little girl's family will definitely come to mourn Denise.

But the other party's family did not show up, and even the little girl disappeared.

And before that, Denise had eaten... sugar given by the little girl!

Seemingly normal things, in the eyes of Jason at this moment, are slightly weird.

Is it the effect of the sugar

If it was the effect of that candy, then who is that little girl

Moreover, if this assumption holds true...

That little girl is also here for Denise!

Thinking of this, Jason didn't hesitate, and said to Denise simply: "Tell your parents to leave Karl Town immediately, and you will go to a bigger city with them."

The world in front of me, since there are monsters and weirdness.

That big city is no exception.

but,

Big cities are supposed to have characters like 'Guardians'.

Just like the old Sir of 'Lord'.

Thinking of the old jazz, Jason couldn't help but took a deep breath, suppressing the discomfort in his heart.

Then, he felt that Denise was standing in front of him coyly, not intending to tell his parents at all.

"I thought I was going to die, so, I just told them..."

"I am your apprentice."

"The 'Night Watch' apprentice."

"I want to go far, far away with you."

Denise lowered her head and didn't dare to look at Jason at all. She put her hands in front of her, her two index fingers kept touching each other, and her voice became lower and lower.

However, the next moment, the dead girl raised her head and raised her voice.

"You don't want my parents to know I'm lying so they can know the truth?"

"You'll definitely help me, won't you?"

The dead girl looked at Jason expectantly.

Jason nodded, and then, in the joyful expression of the dead girl, said lightly:

"Um."

"I will truthfully tell your parents that was the original plan, but now the plan has changed."

"I need to go to that place alone."

"You and your parents headed to a bigger city."

Outside the Emerald Hotel.

The Denise family says goodbye to Jason.

"Thank you for everything you do for Denise."

"You want to drive at night, the autumn wind is too cold, I hope it can add some warmth to you."

While talking, Denise's father took out a leather mattress and handed it to Jason.

Jason took the leather mattress, his hands were soft and warm, and there was a faint smell of just being tanned.

"Thanks."

Jason thanked him politely.

"nothing."

"It's just a lion skin mattress."

"It's nothing compared to your kindness."

Denise's father gave a hearty smile.

Lion skin

Jason was taken aback.

Then, nodded slightly.

Turn around and board the carriage.

After laying the lion skin mattress on the seat, he told Peters to go on the road.

There is no doubt that there should be many unknowns hidden in Jedan Lun.

so…

He wants to leave immediately.

Because Jason couldn't be sure that if he was involved, he would be able to reach the harbor of 'Hans' before the 26th.

As for the Denise family

After touching the lion skin mattress, Jason felt that there was nothing to worry about.

That father was more reliable than he seemed.

So did Denise's brother.

Recalling the abnormal noise in the coffin and the performance of the two young people, Jason couldn't help but praise. Ordinary people would have been paralyzed when they saw such a scene.

Think about Denise's mother, who is also well-behaved.

It can be said that the family is very reliable except for Denise.

And such Denise

I guess it was picked up.

With such guesses in mind, Jason turned on the kerosene lamp in the car, put the books given by the old jazz on the small table, and read them carefully.

Regardless of whether Denise picked it up or not, it told Jason one more truth: if you are not strong enough, you can't even control your own destiny.

Therefore, Jason took the lead in choosing to read the 'Monster Records' part in detail.

After all, for him to become a night watchman, he only needs to be familiar with the characteristics of the four monsters.

In the record, there are two kinds.

'Herken' and 'Kilken'.

But just as Jason turned the pages of the book recording 'Herken', a voice of unknown meaning suddenly rang in his ears.

The moment the voice appeared, all the muscles in Jason's body tensed up.

He subconsciously grasped the handle of the knife.

However, there is no use at all.

Because the harm caused by invisible voice is also invisible.

hum!

Amidst the strong tinnitus, Jason's vision began to blur.

Blood flowed continuously from the nostrils, the corners of the eyes, and the ears.

Jason's strong body began to twitch.

He felt like his brain was going to boil.

But that voice was still echoing.

Moreover, on the verge of death, Jason found that he understood the meaning of this sentence—

'Do you want sugar? '
