I weave my destiny in parallel time and space

“In this valley, there is a legend that the Headless Horseman will come out and be active in late April and early May.

During this time, people would draw their curtains and wear gold jewelry because the Headless Horseman was afraid of the light from gold. "

Char's words continued.

"Now that we can prove that the Headless Horseman does exist in this valley, then this legend has a certain historical basis.

Assuming that this headless horseman is the God of Death, then he will definitely not be active only during this time period, because people will not die only during this time period.

But why is there such a period of time in the legend about the Headless Horseman? "

"Because some special seasonal phenomena will occur during this time period, which will allow people to see things that they cannot usually see, and allow the worlds of death and the living to overlap." Sebastian whispered absentmindedly.

Char's words continued, "Moreover, the Headless Horseman will only appear when the moon is dark and the wind is high.

Why does it only appear at this time? "

There was a glimmer in his eyes, "The answer to the mystery may already be on the surface of the mystery."

Sebastian's pupils shrank slightly, and he looked at the dense fog around him. He raised his hand, and a strong wind spread from him to the surroundings.

When the thick fog gradually blew away, everything around him changed again.

The assassins who were a little confused also opened their eyes.

The Headless Horseman was still in place, but at this moment, Woolf's body changed.

The body that had been beheaded was now lying on the ground intact.

There were two bruised palm prints on his neck.

His eyes were wide open as if he was about to burst out, his face was bloodshot, and he looked like he was suffocated.

"This thick fog has made the worlds of the dead and the living overlap." Sebastian whispered, "What we see is the process of the Headless Horseman harvesting souls, not the process of killing.

but"

Sebastian raised his head and looked at the Headless Horseman.

"Why did he attack us?"

As he finished speaking, the Headless Horseman seemed to have figured out something and took a few steps back. The black horse also followed his call and ran to his side.

As the fog cleared, they also noticed a small bag sitting on the black horse's back.

The Headless Horseman opened the bag, took out a skull and placed it on his neck. Soon, countless muscles slowly climbed up from the body to the skull, gradually filling the vacancy on the skull.

Gradually, eyes grew out of the hollow eye sockets, and finally skin and hair grew, and a black-haired knight appeared in front of people.

His appearance cannot be said to be good-looking, and is even slightly ferocious.

The most important thing is that his eyes are dull and his skin is as pale as death. Although he has a head, he still looks like a dead person, a moving corpse. If you look at it for a long time, it will make people feel terrified.

Sebastian looked at the headless horseman who seemed to be his colleague. He stood there, motionless, and his dull eyes seemed to be looking at something.

Sebas followed his gaze and looked at Char with some doubts, or in other words, at the black cat in his arms.

He seemed to realize something, his expression changed slightly, and he said quickly.

"Wait, she's not dead!"

But it is already late.

The headless horseman opened his mouth and squeezed out a sound from his throat.

"Isabel."

Knowing the name of the soul is the most basic ability of the Shinigami.

At that moment, Isabel opened her eyes suddenly, and she felt that her soul quickly left this body.

When she came to her senses, she got on a speeding open-air carriage and drove towards the depths of the Forbidden Forest. The carriage was pulled by six black horses at a very fast speed, and the axles were rolling and bumping.

The headless horseman was sitting next to her, holding a whip made of human spine, slapping the horse's body and steering the carriage.

She quickly realized what had happened and grabbed the armrest on one side tightly, her face looking a little pale.

However, her mood was relatively stable because she believed that someone would definitely come to save her.

Xia Ya still stood there, slowly lowering his head and looking at the lifeless black cat in his arms that was gradually losing its temperature.

That should be the ability of the headless horseman. He can take away the soul of a person by calling out his name. He who has a head is the real complete body.

The people around didn't even know what happened. They just saw a black carriage suddenly appear from the void. On the carriage sat a lady with exquisite appearance, luxurious temperament and gorgeous clothes.

The headless horseman nimbly jumped onto the carriage and took the lady directly into the Forbidden Forest, disappearing from their sight in the blink of an eye.

Sebastian's reaction speed was very fast and he chased into the Forbidden Forest without any hesitation.

Then there is Arthur. He can do magic and he also has a certain amount of spiritual vision, so he can see more clearly and know what is happening.

For him, Isabel is also one of his important relatives, and he will never allow anyone to hurt any of his relatives.

Hoover hesitated for a moment, then he and Huck looked at each other, and both chose to follow Sebastian.

In addition to investigating the Headless Horseman case, the task Heilang gave them also asked them to investigate everything related to the mystery.

He believed that as long as he kept investigating these things, he would definitely encounter the people behind the scenes again.

For a moment, only Char and Doyle, who was looking at Ma Lin, were left here.

Doyle couldn't help but look at Xia Ya, "Don't you go after him? Those who were taken away are your people, right?"

She had eagle eyes, so she could see more things than the other two companions. She saw with her own eyes the beautiful soul flying out of the black cat's body.

Xia Ya's expression was very peaceful. He looked at her, his eyelids were slightly closed, his cheeks were raised, and he showed a slight smile.

"Am I not waiting for him?"

Doyle was stunned for a moment, but the next moment, her pupils instantly dilated.

The scene around him changed the moment Xia Ya finished speaking.

They were standing under a huge old tree.

The ancient trees looked hundreds of years old, but they were also bare, without a single leaf.

There is a large open space under the ancient tree, some distance away from the other trees.

There is a faint smell of blood lingering in the air, and it is colder here than outside.

This is deep in the Forbidden Forest.

Doyle even thought he was hallucinating.

But the chill in the thick fog in the forest and the smell of blood in the air told her that everything was real.

In just an instant, they crossed thousands of meters and entered the depths of the Forbidden Forest.

Teleport?

Doyle didn't know if that was the case.

But she was as far away from Char on the lawn in front of the church as she was now, and even her posture didn't change much.

It was as if...the scene where they were on the church lawn just now was an illusion...

I do not know how long it has been.

In my ears, I heard the sound of galloping horses' hooves.

She turned her head and looked at the source of the sound of horse hooves. A carriage pulled by six horses was galloping towards her. The sound of the rumble of the axle was approaching quickly, and it soon came to the foot of the tree.

The carriage stopped under the big tree and saw Char already waiting here. A look of astonishment appeared on the headless horseman's zombie-like face.

"I'm sorry, but you can't take her away." Xia Ya said quietly.

"Otherwise, someone in my family will be unhappy."

The headless horseman's face was slightly solemn, but he obviously had no intention of messing with Xia Ya.

The roots lingering under the century-old tree on one side automatically opened to both sides, revealing a bloody passage leading to an unknown place.

Blood slowly flowed out from under the tree roots, and the strong smell of blood mixed with the stench of corpses spread wantonly in the dark night.

The surrounding fog became hazier and the chill became more intense. Doyle subconsciously rubbed his arm.

The Headless Horseman directly picked up Isabel's soul and wanted to run directly into the bloody door.

But obviously, Xia Ya would not watch him leave.

He raised his hand, and a light cannon pierced the night, hitting the Headless Horseman and knocking him away several meters in an instant.

And Isabel also fell to the ground, but she was in a soul body, so she didn't suffer much damage.

She reacted quickly, got up from the ground, and ran towards Char.

Char raised his hand, and Isabel's soul was put back into the black cat's body.

However, he seemed to be frightened and was still in a coma with no intention of waking up.

Sebastian and others also rushed here one after another.

After seeing the bloody door, Sebastian took a breath.

His face turned frightened almost visibly to the naked eye, and he shouted at the top of his lungs.

"Mr. Char, he is not the God of Death.

He is the gatekeeper, the gatekeeper at the entrance to hell!

Quick, let him close the door! "
