I Am Breaking the Dimensional Wall In the Lord of Mysteries
Chapter 25 Strange Trees (Please recommend for collection~)
As a family that believed in the Goddess of the Night, the back garden of Xifa's house had moonflowers, so he was no stranger to this smell, but he searched all over the hut, but he didn't see half of the moonflowers.
Holly Belle found other problems.
Look here. The girl pointed to a round wooden table, one of its legs was precarious.
On the table, there are two cups, and there are three muffins on a small plate next to it. One of the muffins had only a bite, and sat haphazardly on the edge of the plate.
Xifa narrowed his eyes slightly: Two cups, it means that guests have come. The muffins have not been finished, but they have not been put away, which means that Arya's mother left with the guests in a hurry.
I have checked the house, and there are no traces of fighting, and the windows have not been damaged. Combined with the current situation, Arya's mother was not forcibly taken away, but left voluntarily and with others.
The question now is, who will this guest be?
Harri Belle gathered her hair and put them away in her peaked cap. The girl walked towards the wall: Her neighbors should know.
The two of them went through the blurry blue door again and came to the corridor. Harribel, who was full of action, knocked on the neighbor's door in a blink of an eye.
The door opened, and inside was a woman with a sallow complexion. Her hands were covered with drops of water, and the corners of her skirt were wet. She seemed to be washing clothes.
Harri Bell cleared her throat and said, Hello, do you know Mrs. Guinness?
Gutness is Arya's mother.
The woman with sallow complexion responded coldly: I don't know.
Just slammed the door shut.
Harri Belle said angrily: Why is she like this!
Xifa smiled and said, Let me do it. Communication requires skill.
He took out his wallet, took out a £1 note, and knocked on the door again.
The woman opened the door impatiently: I'm working, please don't disturb me, otherwise, I can only call the police!
Xifa stuffed the banknotes into her hands, and pushed down her top hat: It won't take much time for you, madam.
Looking at the money in her hand, the woman was stunned for a moment, and then said: What do you want to know?
Just as Xifa was about to speak, Holly Belle pushed her away. The girl pointed to the room next to her and asked, Has there been any guests at Mrs. Gwyneth's house?
The woman poked her head out of the door and glanced in the direction the girl was pointing: Ginnes hardly has any friends, she is always at home alone, only her daughter, who visits her a day or two every month.
However, some time ago, someone did come to visit her. It was an old woman. I don't know her name. But I know that she often gave speeches in the Memorial Square.
The old lady speaking in Memorial Plaza? The gloomy face of Mrs. Paris suddenly appeared in Xifa's mind. That woman came to visit Arya's mother?
Come on, let's go to Memorial Square.
In the Memorial Square, I saw the old woman named Paris again. She was still giving a speech today, surrounded by people, mostly workers and homeless.
I don't know what Paris is talking about. The onlookers join in from time to time, bursting into applause, making passers-by cast strange glances.
Sifer took off his top hat and coat, and handed these things and the cane to Harribell. In this way, standing with the workers will not be too eye-catching.
You wait here.
He came to the crowd alone, squeezed in with his head down, and appeared behind Paris.
The nose twitched, and Sifer smelled the moonflower again, which was coming from Paris, and the smell was stronger.
This old lady has a problem.
Seeing that Paris didn't seem to finish her speech for a moment, Cifer took her sister to the corner of the square and told her what she had found.
After speaking, Xifa suggested: I think I should go to her house to see.
Harri Bell also quite agreed: Then what are we waiting for, let's go.
Xifa coughed dryly: But I don't know where she lives.
The girl was also stunned for a moment, apparently she had never considered this question, but she quickly had an idea: We can ask Old Cook, he knows everything about this town!
When the time on the pocket watch came to 11:23, the two Sifa brothers and sisters were in front of a house, which surrounded a yard with a circle of low gravel walls, and it was full of moonflowers.
The house where Mrs. Paris lives alone is just behind the flowers. It is a dilapidated and gloomy house. There is a tall Quercus tree behind the house, its canopy covers the house and hides it in the shade.
Cifer closed his pocket watch and said, If we move fast, we should be back in town for lunch.
Harri Bell rolled her eyes: I can go in by myself.
I won't leave you here alone. As an elder brother, Xifa still had this self-consciousness, and he walked along the fence to the back of the house.
Harri Bell spread her hands behind her and said, Shouldn't we go in?
No one would sneak into other people's houses from the front, my dear sister. Xifa said as she walked, Strange, didn't old Cook say that Paris raised many cats and dogs, where did these things go?
Harri Bell followed behind and said, Maybe they are sleeping.
After they came to the house, they stood in the shade of the huge oak tree. Xifa ran up a few steps, easily jumped over the wall, and then helped his sister come over.
At this time, there was a wind blowing, which made the leaves rustle, and suddenly something fell from the tree, and fell to the feet of the siblings with a snap.
Harri Bell suddenly covered her mouth with her hand, and imprisoned her scream in the palm of her hand.
Sifa also gasped, it was a corpse, the corpse of a cat. The cat's corpse was abnormally swollen, with dark brown branches protruding from its stomach and anus.
Cifer went around to the other side of the cat's body and found a branch sticking out of the cat's mouth. It looked as if the cat had been pierced by the branch.
Moreover, the branches are still 'growing' in the corpse?
Sifa, look up. Harribell raised her head, looking up at the oak tree, her face pale.
Xifa looked towards the canopy of the tree and saw thick branches growing randomly there. He saw the corpses of cats and dogs strung on those branches. His keen vision allowed him to see that young branches and young leaves grew from these corpses. .
When the wind blew, the branches swayed, and the dead bodies of cats and dogs, like the 'fruits' produced by Quercus japonica, were gently swayed in the wind.
Now, he knew where Paris' cats and dogs had gone.
How can she live in this kind of place, she's not right, she's not right! Holly Belle whispered.
Xifa restrained her smile, turned her head and said seriously: Bei Er, stay here. If any accident happens, leave me alone and go back to the town for help.
Harri Belle nodded slightly, she knew exactly what she should do and what she should not do.
Xifa took out the snake scale pistol from the underarm holster and pointed the muzzle to the ground to prevent accidental firing. He walked under the canopy of the strange oak tree and came to the back of Paris' house.
He didn't go in in a hurry, he listened with his hearing far better than ordinary people, and sniffed the smell in the air. After finding nothing unusual, Xifa gently opened a window and got in.
