Soul echo

Chapter 77 The Legendary Story

"Old, teacher..."

Lilian was so frightened that her voice trembled, she hurriedly pressed close to Zhong Ye.

As if thinking of something, the smile on Zhong Ye's face faded, and he sighed: "Don't be afraid, just follow me, they can't hurt you."

The girl withdrew her gaze, nodded repeatedly, saw Zhong Ye walking forward, and hurriedly followed her steps.

Tuk Tuk Tuk!
The front window was knocked suddenly, making Lilian's muscles tense involuntarily.

At this time, Zhong Ye suddenly said: "When the hotel owner was a child, the missing children in this town were not two, but three!"

Hearing this sentence, before Lilian could react, the audience in the live broadcast room realized the meaning of Zhong Ye's words.

——[It just corresponds to the three stories in the town? 】

——[The endless alley, the girl on the street corner, and the sound of knocking on the window in the middle of the night... Speaking of which, these stories have been circulated for decades, and it seems that they can be matched with the incident that the hotel owner said happened when he was a child]

——[In this case, what about the widow who will abduct the child?What's going on again? 】

——【Why three? 】

Occasionally, Lilian would wonder if her teacher knew that she was a player, and that she was still broadcasting live, with many viewers behind the camera giving advice for her.

But this kind of absurd idea never existed in her mind for a long time, and she would soon forget it.

"When the first child disappeared, how did people know that in the autumn, if the child did not come home before dark, it would be taken away by a 'beautiful widow'? And how did it know that the widow would block the In front of the door, who took the child away?"

While walking, Zhong Ye explained: "People will spread rumors, and it is normal for stories to spread more and more outrageous, but this story has been circulated in the town for at least ten years, and the style should have been set.

"Before, we not only asked young townspeople, but also middle-aged and elderly townspeople. Their answers were basically similar to the version told by the hotel owner. The same point is that there is a woman who can block the door.

"After confirming this point, we can continue to extend it-why do the townspeople temporarily adopt orphans without father and mother every autumn? If they are really kind, why don't they adopt them all the time, but only adopt them every autumn?"

Listening, Lilian slowly widened her eyes.

When Zhong Ye was collecting information, she followed Zhong Ye all the time, but Zhong Ye could think of these things, but she couldn't think of anything.

After entering the deciphering session, the atmosphere of terror suddenly decreased a lot. Both Lilian and the audience focused on Zhong Ye's words.

If it weren't for the sound of knocking on the window from time to time, they would have almost forgotten what it was like now.

"Because the townspeople at the time knew that an orphan was missing and he was taken away by a woman. After that, a 'story' might have been born in this town.

"Then, the second child disappeared, which is the first missing child in the impression of the hotel owner. The following fall, another child disappeared. At this time, the three 'stories' should have taken shape.

"Since the townspeople know these three stories, it means that some people have died or disappeared because of these three stories. The only possibility that did not cause casualties is the 'knocking on the window in the middle of the night'."

After the analysis, Zhong Ye paused, and then said: "But not only the hotel owner told us 'no one died or disappeared because of this', other townspeople also said the same, if it's just absurd story, that's all. The 'story' actually appeared in front of our eyes, indicating that someone is deliberately concealing these things.

"However, in this way, there is a logical conflict - if the townspeople at the time wanted to hide these things, why are these stories being circulated everywhere now? You know, the incident has only been in the past ten or twenty years. None of them died, if they don't want these things to spread, why are they so calm when they tell us stories?"

There are too many twists and turns inside, and after one problem is solved, other problems come up, and Lilian is already dizzy.

——[The priest who left without saying goodbye! 】

Everything is connected in series, only the earth mother priest who also disappeared more than ten years ago is still independent of these events.

An audience pointed out this point very keenly, and then Zhong Ye also explained: "Among these incidents, there is still a lack of a key person who can truly connect these things. I think that person is the missing Earth Mother. priest."

Talking and talking, before they knew it, they had come to the other end of the town.

This is the foot of a mountain, and when you look up, you can see the church.

Although there was a wall blocking the way ahead, it was not an obstacle to Zhong Ye. After obtaining Lilian's permission, he picked her up, climbed over the wall lightly, and headed towards the church halfway up the mountain.

"It's actually very simple to solve the harm of those three 'stories' to ourselves. The easiest way may be to move out of here, just like now, after we left the town, we didn't encounter those strange things again."

In order to save time, Zhong Ye let Lilian sit in his arms, while he ran towards the church with his long legs.

After hearing these words, Lilian looked back. Indeed, not only did the knock on the window disappear, but even the girl on the street corner disappeared.

"Since this is the case, what role does Priest Earth Mother play in these matters? Is his disappearance really leaving without saying goodbye?"

As he spoke, Zhong Ye clenched his sword tightly, "Since the abyss invaded this world for the first time hundreds of years ago, many churches have united. Just now my weapon 'Moonlight' sensed the existence of undead. If those The undead are those children who disappeared more than ten years ago. Then, after the priest of the Earth Mother left without saying goodbye, he should have informed the Luna Church or the Sun Church around him about this matter. The two churches will come to eliminate those undead upon receiving the news... …However, those undead have survived from ten or twenty years ago to the present!"

Zhong Ye stopped and raised his head. Lilian followed his gaze and found that they had already arrived at the door of the church.

Putting the girl on the ground, Taketo twisted his neck and shoulders, walked to the church door, and pushed the remaining door panel open.

The fog hangs heavily on the ground, making it impossible to climb halfway up the mountain, so the glow of the bright moon can shine into the abandoned church, allowing Lilian and the audience to see the scene inside the church clearly.

The door panel was pushed open, and a cloud of smoke and dust was raised, rushing out of the door one after another. Zhong Ye, who was standing at the door, let out a breath, and the smoke and dust rolled back.

Zhong Ye walked into the church, and Lilian hurriedly followed.

"So, I don't think the Earth Mother Priest has left this town."

Walking to the front of the throne, looking at the fresh and still fresh soil on the stage, Zhong Ye put down his sword and bowed to salute: "The great mother who nourishes all things in the world, may I ask if you need my help?"

Lilian held her breath, not paying attention to the bullet screens that were raised, and focused on the seat of God.

【Please help me... free the souls of those children...】

There is no earth shaking, no wind blowing grass, only the gentle voice that suddenly penetrates into the soul.

Zhong Ye heard it, Lilian heard it, and the audience in the live broadcast room heard it too.

Then, a thick and mellow male voice sounded in their ears:

"...I found the witch who was trying to become a god, but I didn't find her. I only found her tomb. In order to confirm that there will be no legacy left to harm the world after her death, I plan to temporarily settle down in this small town. By the way Look for the books and writings she left behind."

"...I found her research notes, but by the time I saw that note, things were irreversible—that witch studied Dongtu's 'Corpse Dissection Immortal' and combined it with the ancient ritual of ascension to the gods , as long as someone finds and reads this note, she will return to the world. At that time, she no longer has a body, but just a "missing". I don't know how to destroy her. Maybe I should ask my mage for advice friend?"

"...Adrian came to see it. He was very interested in the witch's ascension ceremony. I warned him not to study these things. This knowledge is the bait of the evil god of the abyss. Fortunately, our relationship is very good, and he knows it too. It is best not to touch the things of the evil god of the abyss, so I solemnly promise that he will not study those things.

"He thinks the situation is very bad. The witch's ascension ceremony was perfect. If there is no accident, she will come back sooner or later. It's just a matter of time."

"...Your Majesty, I have decided that I will stay and fight her to the end—she has returned, and not only has she returned, but she has also killed a child. The situation here cannot be concealed any longer. Tell the townspeople."

"...Your Majesty, the townspeople cannot leave this town. When the witch performed the ascension ceremony, they were anchored here—they were recognized by the witch as their qualifications for ascension to the gods!"

"...I tried to fight, but they all failed, and two more children were killed by her. I need to do something, I should do something..."

"...Your Majesty, this is my last prayer. Next, I want to use your power to erase the witch's influence on the townspeople. If nothing else, as time goes by, what she left in the world The legend will gradually disappear, as long as this 'longing' dissipates, she will die completely!
"Please forgive me for being so clumsy, I really can't think of any other way to destroy her..."

The voice disappeared, but the hearts of Lilian and the audience in the live broadcast room could not be calm for a long time.

Zhong Ye was silent for a moment, picked up the big sword, turned and walked outside the door.

"Let's go and kill that witch."

Lilian turned around in surprise.

The teacher thought of a way to kill that witch completely and eliminate a piece of 'mind' so quickly?
