Soul echo

Chapter 75 Night Fog
"Tell me about your observations!"

Zhong Ye and Lilian were sitting in the lobby of the hotel, and they left after putting their bags in the room, because Zhong Ye would not be in a closed space with other women in principle, and he knew very well that his physique would give women and girls a lot of trouble. Some men bring fear.

Even if he is very restrained and knows that he can't do anything, and the women themselves don't necessarily mind, but there are some things that can't be done, just can't be done.

Zhong Ye asked his students about the observation results, and the people who were asked looked confused.

Lilian hesitated, she didn't expect Zhong Ye to ask such a question suddenly, she was not prepared at all.

Glancing quietly at the barrage, Lilian cautiously replied: "...there are very few outsiders in this town?"

Seeing her appearance, Zhong Ye knew where she got the answer, and pursed his lips: "Why?"

"...Because this hotel is very dilapidated, people on the street looked at us warily, and even the vendors didn't talk to us." Lilian suddenly realized.

It turned out that the teacher wanted to test the school's own observation skills, and she shouldn't peek at the answers given to her by the barrage.

"In daily life, many people don't notice it. In fact, your eyes, movements and expressions can provide others with a lot of information. If you observe the environment carefully and integrate these information, you can know a lot of things even without asking. .”

Zhong Ye tapped his finger on the table lightly, and said slowly: "Even if you don't want to become an adventurer in the future, these skills will be of great benefit to you."

The girl pursed her lips tightly, this Zhong Ye was obviously more attractive, why did Zhong Ye look like that in her dream?
After a pause, Zhong Ye asked again: "What do you think about the legend that the boss said?"

"I, I don't know..." Lilian lowered her head.

"Then let me tell you my opinion."

Zhong Ye thought for a while, organized his language, and said: "First of all, I think the story he told is ridiculous, because the incident happened more than ten or twenty years ago, and it is impossible for any monster to do nothing for such a long time. The person doing this is a human being, so she doesn't need to set those restrictions for herself.

"Secondly, I felt danger when I was outside the town, but when I came to the town, that feeling disappeared. I suspect that the real danger may come from somewhere around the town."

After saying that, Zhong Ye stood up, "Let's go! No matter how much you guess here, it's not as good as actual investigation."

The girl stood up with half understanding, and took the light sword that Zhong Ye gave her.

The town has only one main road, and this straight road runs through the whole town. Most of the houses are distributed on both sides of the straight road, and the gaps between the houses form a series of alleys of different lengths and widths. At the end of these alleys Usually it's just another house.

This kind of construction method makes the layout of the town look very messy. Some people want to go home. Instead of returning from the main road in the town, it is better to go around the outside of the town and climb over the wall, which may be faster.

Zhong Ye and Lilian were probably the only outsiders in this small town, because they found that not only did the vendors not sell to them, but they also did not sell to anyone else, which meant that the vendors knew what the people in the town needed.

Moreover, the people in the town did not bargain or even ask the price when buying goods, and the transaction was very straightforward.

Obviously this town is not far from the essence of Yitrul, but it seems to be forgotten by the world and time, staying in the Middle Ages.

Zhong Ye has [Amiable Physique] and is handsome, which can dispel people's rejection of outsiders.

He got a lot of information from the townspeople, for example, there really is a legend about 'Mother of Autumn' in this town, and other legends mentioned by the hotel owner are indeed circulating in the town.

As for the church on the mountainside, as early as ten years ago, after the priest of the Earth Mother left without saying goodbye, the church was abandoned, and no one went there anymore.

As for other things, the townspeople are not very clear.

"The hotel owner is right. He is indeed the most well-informed person in this town." Lilian said with emotion.

They asked several townspeople before collecting all the information and confirming that the hotel owner did not miss it.

Zhong Ye raised his head and glanced at the church halfway up the mountain. Standing in the town, he could already see the church's appearance clearly.

From the outside, the church seemed to be really abandoned, half of the door panels were missing, and the windows disappeared, leaving only a black hole.

He took Lilian for a walk outside the town, but found nothing. Now there is only one church in the whole town that he hasn't visited.

It's just that it's getting late now, and the sun is setting to the west. If we go up again at this time, the search may not be too detailed.

Lilian also has to go offline to rest. After the trusteeship, the game characters will become quite dull. Why don't they stay like this for now, and see if there are any strange things in the town at night, and then go to investigate the abandoned church tomorrow.

But then again, the abandoned church - this is a classic scene in many games, including but not limited to horror games.

Although this is the real world, it is weird enough for the priest to leave without saying goodbye.

Following the afterglow, Zhong Ye and Lilian returned to the hotel.

The boss lit a candle extravagantly, but under the flickering lights, shadows stalked in the dark, making the dilapidated hotel look even more eerie.

Standing at the door and looking in, Lilian got goose bumps all over her body.

As the sun went down, the town that was not considered lively quickly became quiet. Because it was autumn, the children were all driven into their homes by adults, and even orphans without parents would be temporarily adopted by neighbors.

At dusk, a cool breeze blows on the street, taking away the residual heat of the day.

The hotel owner had been waiting in the lobby for a long time, and when he saw Zhong Ye and the others coming back, he greeted them with a smile.

Because Zhong Ye didn't give special instructions, he didn't help them prepare dinner.

And Zhong Ye, like many adventurers, bought some food on the way back. This is a due precaution, and it is also a tacit unspoken rule of the adventurers and the hotel owner.

While eating dinner, Zhong Ye didn't talk to Lilian, because he knew that his students must have gone offline for dinner again.

The sky quickly darkened, and the whole town fell into darkness.

The doors and windows of the hotel were closed, and the boss resigned early, leaving the hall to Zhong Ye and Lilian.

When Lilian logged in again, she was startled by the sound of a strong wind knocking on the door and window.

The heart was pounding, the girl turned her head, and saw the flames beating, making Zhong Ye's side face cloudy and uncertain.

Seeing that Zhong Ye was still by her side, the girl immediately relaxed.

"It's almost time." Zhong Ye closed his eyes and rested his mind, opened his eyes, and stood up from the chair.

Lilian shuddered when she remembered that they were going to verify the legends circulating in the town tonight, and hurriedly followed Zhong Ye's footsteps.

There must be a reason why those stories circulated in the small town, and even if the hotel owner said that neither he nor anyone he knew had seen those things, it might just be luck.

Before opening the hotel door, Zhong Ye stopped suddenly, looked at his student, and asked, "By the way, Lilian, how old are you this year? Are you over 14 years old?"

The timid expression froze on her face, the girl puffed up her face and said loudly, "I'm already 16 years old!"

With a chuckle, Zhong Ye opened the door, and the cool evening breeze rushed towards his face.

Looking at the scene outside the door, he said softly, "It's foggy..."

Tiny water droplets were suspended in the air, and the white mist filled the streets. The wind stopped at some point, and it was obviously still beating on the doors and windows just now.

--【……Wow! 】

——【Lilian, are you okay? 】

——[Looks like the setting of a horror game]

Lilian's lips moved, seeing Zhong Ye stepping out of the gate, she hurriedly followed.

She doesn't even have the guts to listen to ghost stories, how dare she act alone in this kind of place.

After closing the door, Zhong Ye led Lilian into the mist.

He wants to see what the hell is in this town!
