He was indeed a melancholy handsome man. His profile was deep, like a carefully carved statue. The curly hair on his shoulders was extremely thick and black, but his lips were extremely bright red. He seemed to have a mysterious and special beauty. No wonder Anna just looked at his face The eyes are so captivating.

"Anna, this is..." he opened his mouth—his voice really fit the bard's setting, and he said a few words casually, like reciting, full of rhythm and syllables, and people couldn't help admiring Intoxicated.

"He is An Ran...a friend I met half a year ago, but suddenly...he left without saying goodbye." After Anna finished speaking, she recovered from the surprise just now, and asked vigilantly, "Why did you disappear in the first place, and why did you disappear now?" Why come back?"

An Ran looked at the black-haired man, then looked at Anna, and found that she seemed to have grown a little taller than the last time they met... It turns out that the star day this time is half a year later. According to what I saw and heard just now, It happened to be the time when the town was hit by a catastrophe, and Anna was helping the wounded in the monastery... Fortunately, it wasn't too long, and she hadn't even been deceived by the devil.

"Anna, we have no choice but to disappear, and now we have to come back... Can you take a moment to talk?" An Ran glanced at the man cautiously.

Anna nodded when she heard the words, and then pointed to the shade next to the tree: "Let's go there."

The two walked under the shade of the tree, but the black-haired man was still standing there, just raised his head to look at something, An Ran really didn't want him by his side, he hesitated to speak, Anna smiled and said: "Are you afraid?" What? That's Allen, he's a very, very, very good person, kind like an angel, you shouldn't shy away from him."

...God, why does Anna trust him so much now?

An Ran originally wanted to take the opportunity to tell Anna to beware of that person named Alan, but who would have thought that Alan would gain Anna's trust so quickly?Anna is already kind enough, but the person who can be praised by her for being kind is actually a devil who is scheming?

An Ran was at a loss for words, stared into Anna's eyes for a long time, and then sighed helplessly: "Well, I didn't expect you to trust others so easily."

"Because Alan is really trustworthy." Anna smiled and glanced at Alan under the starlight, and blinked at An Ran: "He is different from everyone in the town."

...What's wrong with laughing so happily?

Is this the feeling of being caught off guard by a mouthful of dog food?

But that Allen is not a trustworthy good person, he is a heinous devil!Not only will it deceive you, but it will eventually destroy the entire town!

An Ran was overwhelmed with worry, but because of Anna's attitude towards him, she was hesitant to tell the truth for a while, so Anna frowned and looked at him: "What's wrong with you? What do you want to tell me?"

...Forget it, after all, Anna's emotional problems are beyond his control. Besides, she was deceived by the devil is already a historical track. Even if he can't stop it with a few more words, it is better to ask the question that is most relevant to her own interests. yes...

An Ran could only grit her teeth and put Alan's matter aside, and asked Anna: "As far as you know...if you want to break the seal outside the church, what do you need?"

Anna was taken aback after hearing this: "Didn't I say that? I don't have any divine power at all. It is impossible to break the barrier set by Bishop Philip."

"What if you have? If you have such a strong divine power, you can break through the two barriers he set up, but you didn't do that...you sealed this part of power on a sacred artifact , and then entrusted this sacred artifact to someone else... and then entrusted the whole thing to another person, and told him to tell the third person, let him find the sacred artifact, and then break the barrier... ..."

An Ran managed to finish this long tongue twister, took a deep breath, and continued to ask: "Then, what would you choose as the sacred artifact, and who would you entrust this sacred artifact to for safekeeping?"

After listening to Anna, she was at a loss: "What are you talking about? What about one person, two people, and the third person? I was confused by you. I can clearly do a simple thing by myself. Do it well, why do you have to go around in a big circle and tell so many people, isn't this causing trouble for yourself? Don't say that I don't have such strong power at all, even if I did, I wouldn't do such a stupid thing. "

... This really sounds silly and convoluted, but An Ran is sure that that's what Old Holt told them. If it wasn't for Anna's mental decline after being proclaimed, then... Old Holt deceived them!

"Wait, let me say it again—" Seeing that she wanted to leave, An Ran hurriedly stopped, and begged, "One last time, let me describe it to you again..."

"If this is the case - you can't directly break Bishop Feili's barrier for some reason, but you know that there is someone who can do it, so you handed the token carrying the holy power to someone, and then told the first Two people, if you see the person you can choose after many years, tell him to go to the second person to ask for the holy artifact..."

"Will you do this? Who are you choosing?" An Ran stared into Anna's eyes and asked seriously.

Anna frowned, pondered for a while, and shook her head: "Even if I say that, I still find it very strange...why do you have to hand over the sacred artifact to one person, and then give the task of sending the message to another person? It's so troublesome. , if it were me, I would definitely let the person who owns the holy artifact to pass on the message, so that I can hand over the sacred artifact by the way, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds?"

"So he's lying to me, there's no such thing as a second person..." An Ran muttered to herself.

Anna wondered: "What are you talking about? Are you lying or not?"

"It's nothing..." An Ran raised her head immediately, and asked again: "You haven't answered me yet, if you had to choose, who would you choose to be the middleman?"

An Ran originally wanted to test Hult's position in her heart, but Anna didn't even hesitate, and replied directly: "Of course it is Allen, such an important task, I will definitely entrust it to the person I trust the most. "

... It was Alan again. Although An Ran knew the tragedy in the future, seeing that she trusted Alan so much now, he still felt sad for her. .”

When Anna heard the words, she smiled nonchalantly: "Cheated by him? Is there anything about me that he cares about?"

Your body is what he misses the most...

An Ran said helplessly: "In short, you should be careful in everything, and don't trust others."

Anna snorted coldly: "You still have the nerve to talk about others, aren't you the ones I trust the most? You appeared in the town for no reason, and then disappeared with the church for no reason. Now half a year has passed, and I have already forgotten about you. In the end, you suddenly appeared again, and you came out of the monastery, I really don’t know who you are.”

"It's not up to us to decide whether to disappear or appear." An Ran was also extremely helpless, but when talking about the church, another question popped up in his mind: "Has the church not appeared yet?"

"No, of course not." Anna shook her head and sighed: "Since you left, the church has been hidden in Bishop Philip's enchantment. We have risked many times to find it, kneeling outside every day. Pray, about three months ago, Bishop Philip briefly opened the invisibility barrier, and he also used his holy power to wipe out most of the mutant mice. Everyone knelt on the ground to thank him for his merit..."

"But the good times didn't last long. Within a few days, there was a sudden heavy rain in the sky. The rainstorm lasted for half a month. The town was almost submerged in floods. After the flood receded, countless toads appeared on the streets...then Things won't bite people like mutated mice, but they are more terrifying, those things will swallow people's souls!"

"Look - the people lying there are all people suffering from anastasis. Since the day they came in, they have opened their eyes blankly. They can't cry or laugh. No matter what you say, they don't respond."

Anna pointed to the not-too-distant place, and there was indeed a thick layer of white cloth. On the white cloth lay a dozen black and thin townspeople. Compared with those injured in the monastery who had broken arms and legs, they still had the strength to ridicule and sneer. For them, they were too quiet. If it weren't for the slightly heaving chest and the occasional rolling of the eyeballs, it would be hard for An Ran to believe that they were still alive.

"We put them in the cemetery, hoping to recall their lost souls in this extremely cold place, but so far, we have had little success, and no one has woken up." Anna sighed, covering her face in despair : "But I really can't help it. Since those toads appeared, the bishop has sealed the church again. No matter how much I begged him, he never showed up again..."

"But the outermost barrier of the church has been opened?" An Ran frowned: "So..."

If the barrier outside the church was really opened for a short time, then old Holt...

When An Ran was concentrating on thinking, she suddenly heard someone calling not far away: "Anna, it's getting late, let's go back to the monastery quickly, or that person will appear again."

Allen...

"Understood, please wait a little longer!" Anna responded.

An Ran was really afraid of him but couldn't touch him, so she simply ignored him, but who was the 'that person' he was talking about?

"Anna, have you encountered any trouble recently?" he asked.

Anna pinned her fluttering blond hair behind her ears, and smiled slightly: "It's not a problem, after all, I'm a mess here, but I always feel like someone is following me... especially when I'm alone with Alan , as if someone is watching us... I feel weird in my heart, but Alan doesn't feel anything, maybe I'm too tired recently!"

"Someone is following you?" An Ran lowered her head and thought for a while, then said worriedly: "You'd better not be negligent, or I'll send you up, the townspeople inside have a lot of complaints about you, I'm still a little worried Your safety."

Anna laughed: "Are you still afraid that they will tear my hands apart? Don't worry, they are still thinking about my painkillers!"

After she finished speaking, she waved her hand: "If you have anything to say, let's talk about it tomorrow. You reminded me that it's time to see them."

As she spoke, she walked towards Alan, explained a few words to him with a smile, and pointed to An Ran as if introducing him. .

Anna talked to him a few more words, and found that there were several other people standing by the back door, so she quickly pointed him out: "Look, these are people I knew back then, the stupid one is Xu Heng, Lan Xin is on his back, she is a very good shooter..."

"Also, the one next to the door is Xie Yi, I guess he is the most powerful, what do you think..."

She excitedly finished the introduction, but the people beside her didn't respond for a long time. She turned her head strangely and found that Alan was staring at Xie Yi who was leaning against the door, with a slightly stiff expression.
