Lord of Secrets

Everyone hides a mask... Horus sighed inwardly. ඏ♦ ♦♦

He originally thought that this village was a very ordinary and simple place, but in the end he found that everyone was hiding another side, and it would explode completely with just a trigger.

Originally he planned to just leave, but suddenly he wanted to find the hidden truth. Although he knew it was dangerous, he still wanted to try it.

"No matter what, leave here before the fourteenth day." Horus said softly, he already had a plan.

He then glanced at the dark room, removed Rom's left middle finger, and put it away.

Although he didn't want to use it, it didn't prevent him from collecting it.

Then, he noticed that the characteristic object in the pocket of the black coat seemed to be losing something, and the spiritual light became dimmer and dimmer.

Horus frowned, took it out, and tried to infuse spirituality, but it seemed to be useless.

After thinking for a while, he wrapped the characteristic object with his spirituality, and felt that the characteristic object seemed to no longer leak, so Horus put it away and put it in his big pocket.

But he also knew that this was not a permanent solution, but at this moment he could not find a way to completely stop the spiritual leakage of the characteristic object.

When leaving the village, he still needed to find a way to get more information about the mysterious world... Horus shook his head. He felt more and more like a traveler who strayed into the dark forest, wandering on the edge of death, constantly learning how to survive.

When Lime left, the door was not closed. He immediately walked outside, looked at the foggy surroundings, and walked towards one of the houses.

He wanted to verify whether what was said in the parchment was true. As for the manuscript that Thornes found in the village, he did not keep it, maybe it was damaged.

Suddenly, Horus stopped, like a scarecrow. He thought of a serious problem. Rom was originally a dead soul, but Thornes went to confront him later. If what "Romz" said was true, then Romz should have killed Thorns. Although his souls merged, he was also reborn.

So he killed "Romz", and the other party should not be resurrected. But "Romz" has been staying in the village for the past six years?

But Thorns' notes said that only when outsiders come, the village will return to normal, and the dead souls will wake up and return to normal.

That is, when there are no outsiders, the villagers will sleep. Horus guessed that their status should be reset, that is, only the memory of 14 days before the bloody night.

However, "Romz" and Lime have been mentioning six years ago, which is the day Thorns came to the village. So what time period is this six years ago, before the bloody night, or now?

If it is six years ago in the "now" time period, according to Horus's guess, the villagers should not have Thorns' memory. After all, if their memories are not reset, the villagers will definitely have confused memories, resulting in abnormalities.

So every time an outsider disappears, the villagers' memory should be erased, which should be confirmed.

And Romtz and some other people have the blood of Damonas, which is special after all, which means they should have memories of outsiders.

It can be guessed from the manuscript that Thorns got.

But the most important question now is why the villagers have memories of Thorns. Since Horus killed "Romtz", it means that he is not a ghost.

And Thorns is definitely not a person from hundreds of years ago, because before the bloody night began, the villagers were normal. And Thorns' notes clearly stated that he was an outsider, which was what happened after the bloody night.

So, why do the villagers have memories of Thorns?

Am I wrong in my guess... Horus looked up at the moon that was dyed black by the black fog and felt a headache.

Then, he felt that he had overlooked a point, that is, the villagers who were related to Damonas should be able to retain their memories, and he should have asked those villagers who were related to Damonas, only in this way can it be explained.

But then, Horus thought about why they were normal. He had communicated with those people and did not feel any malice in their eyes.

After all, as long as he stayed here for seven days, they could kill him and leave the village for him. Of course, Horus could leave at any time, after all, he was not an ordinary outsider, but a descendant of Ossanie.

But except for Romtz, those people should not know. That is, they should have a kind of eagerness towards Horus, not a normal attitude.

After all, if they killed him, they could be resurrected.

Although they can retain their memories, maybe they have some restrictions, or only some memories overlap, but they have no impression of killing and leaving... Maybe they will have to wait until time passes slowly before they wake up... Horus's mind keeps running, thinking about possible answers.

If so, then it makes sense.

But the biggest problem still lies with Rem.

If Horus's previous guess is correct, then there are some problems with what Rem said to the corpse of "Romz".

According to Horus' guess, Rem killed an outsider and then escaped from the village. And he should also be considered a descendant of Damonas. Although it is unknown how many generations have passed, he should have memories.

And what Lem said to "Romji" was more like he only had the memory before the bloody night, that is, he didn't know about the bloody night.

But there was a problem, he said that he had left the village, and if he left during that time, the bloody night began.

Then Lime should not have experienced this disaster. At that time, he avoided this man-made disaster outside. Hundreds of years have passed since then, and he should have died long ago.

And that he now appears in the village means that he has indeed experienced that real bloody night and became a dead soul.

So except for Romji and the person who left the manuscript, everyone else's memories should only be partially retained, and only some of the memories are mixed together... They don't know that they are dead souls, and they don't know that killing outsiders can lead to rebirth. , and they don’t know about the Bloody Night...because they will eventually have to repeat the Bloody Night...unlike Romji, who know everything from beginning to end...

Horus narrowed his eyes, but he kept analyzing various possibilities.

"So, Lime may have happened to kill an outsider after the seventh day and gained the right to leave, and then he left the village... Maybe part of his memory was deleted after rebirth... It's just that the village was isolated from the outside world, and he After leaving the village, I didn’t go too far and didn’t communicate with anyone…

"So he didn't know that there was a gap of several hundred years between the outside world and the village... Later, he returned to the village, but now he was an outsider, so the village recovered..."

Horus murmured, telling his guess. With every word he said, he felt he was getting closer to the truth.

"While Lem was away, Thornes came to the village, and those things happened...

"Romji has the most complete memory, so when Lem returned to the village, he was misled... Lem's memories in the village for six years were all induced by 'Romaji'... So, Rhyme knew Thornes...

"Because Romji used the 'White Rose of Betrayal', 'Romji' was formed by the fusion of the souls of Thorns and Romji. This may have caused the identity of 'Romji' to be restricted, so He is not an outsider...

"At the same time, he is part of the village, that is, he is restricted to the village, and there are no outsiders, so he will also fall into a deep sleep at the same time... But he is resurrected, so his body will gradually age... …

"He doesn't want to die like this, he wants to get the legacy of Damonas...

"Then he took advantage of Lem's status as an outsider to put the village back to sleep, and he has been active for six years...

After countless thoughts flashed through his mind, Horus said softly: "It's just that 'Romci' couldn't be found, and then I came..."

Regarding these guesses, Horus didn't know whether they were right or not, but he also knew how to make bold guesses and be careful to verify them. No matter how outrageous the guess is, as long as it can explain everything, it may be the truth.

It's just that Lime has any doubts about the changes in the appearance of the villagers...

This was Horus's last question.

Shaking his head, Horus decided not to think too much and collect more information and clues, such as the manuscript that Thorns had found.

He took a step forward, walked slowly forward, and came to a dilapidated wooden house. He climbed over the fence gently and came to the door.

Horus gathered his thoughts, paused for a moment, and then slowly opened the door.

The slight friction sound of the wooden door was not transmitted to the house, and the black mist had blocked these sounds.

In the darkness, Horus looked at the arrangement inside, walked around the table, and came to the bedside.

"Alas..." Horus sighed softly. It was just a guess before, but now, he did see part of the truth.

This also shows that Thornes' notes are basically true. At this moment, his mood was a little complicated. The usually kind villagers would completely trigger the dark side in their hearts in just ten days, and the bloody night would happen again.

He had previously guessed that the villagers only had memories from 14 days before the bloody night, so in the past few days, he had only communicated with villagers from that time period.

And in these fourteen days, they will gradually become crazy and cold-blooded, eventually leading to the destruction of the village.

He immediately closed the door and explored other places. As expected, they were all skeletons. As for Lem, he also looked at it and found that he was indeed a human being.

Half paid, Horus returned to his previous room with a calm face, and then lay on the bed, like a corpse, lifeless.

This chapter is a bit of a headache to write. Let me explain that the "Romji" in this chapter is the soul fusion of Romji and Thorns.
