The boy's name was Alger Brown.

This small town on the island is neither remote nor closed, nor bustling. The young man was born and raised here, and he has never seen anything other than this town except through a small electronic screen.

Some people in the town also tried to move out, but their living habits were too different, so they finally moved back.

The street that was supposed to remain unchanged, the familiar daily life, how rare today is, because I went to bed late, and met two strangers.

Alger, who was entering adolescence, was at the time when he liked new things. Even the game consoles in the electronics store were a generation behind the outside, and this small town had already made him feel bored.

The boy who was supposed to go to school met two strangers on the street again. They were going to the port, but they turned back halfway and headed for the forest. The silver-haired girl looked focused, as if she was looking for something.

Is there something else hidden in this small island that he doesn't know?Such as rare treasures, tombs of ancient princes?Alger's heart beat faster and faster.

But the forest is a forbidden place for them. No matter the parent of any of his classmates, they tell their children that the depths of the forest are the witch's lair, and if they play there, they will be caught and eaten by the witch.

Alger remembered that he had a few elementary school classmates who went to the forest to play during the summer vacation, and they had already died under the broken wall when they found out, and no one dared to go there again.

Seeing the figures of the two getting further and further away, driven by curiosity, the boy gritted his teeth and followed.

It's just that their footsteps were too fast, and he lost track of them in a short while.

Alger wanted to turn around and go back to school, but he didn't give up, so he wandered around in the forest.I don't know how long he walked, the boy's feet were sore and he couldn't see anyone. He was about to give up when he caught a glimpse of a fire.

Fire represents people.

He didn't dare to go forward rashly, so he found a bush to hide in, and there was a squirrel standing up on its hind legs beside him, tilting its head to look at him, and he couldn't help making a silent gesture towards it.

Human voices are very clear in the forest far from the town.

Alger's hearing was pretty good, even though he shyly hid in the grass, he heard most of their conversation.

Then Alger's eyes became wider and wider, frightened and restless, he instinctively knew that it was not a good time to go out, and when he could no longer hear the human voice, he waited for another quarter of an hour before he kicked deeply and shallowly, According to the marks made before, run out of the forest.

He accidentally fell down, but he didn't care about his tiredness or pain. The wind whizzed past his ears, and the young man only felt blood rushing to his forehead. Alger recalled the conversation he had just heard, I feel like he's been tricked, the whole town has been tricked!

It turns out that their incompatible schedules, inexplicable drowsiness, and weird long dreams are all just to feed the witch's beasts?

Alger pushed open the door of the house. His mother who was cleaning the room looked at him and said in surprise: "Alger, why did you come back early? Ah, your face is so pale, you are sweating all over, are you sick?"

Alger took a few deep breaths, and then he said: "Mom, I... I met a witch in the forest, she, she... It's her who makes us alienated from the outside world!"

The boy didn't know why people lived in the forest, but people of his mother's age knew it very well.The rag in her hand fell to the ground, and she picked up Alger's face and examined it carefully, "Did she do anything to you?"

No.

People who haven't seen ghosts are frightened, and they always have to make up some horrific ghost stories and exaggerate them to satisfy their curiosity.

Alger said: "She, she wants to catch me and kill me..."

He was a little guilty, but he became confident in the next second, the witch had to pay a price!

When Blanche woke up, she found that Nemo, the long-haired beast, was headbutting her, as if trying to wake her up.

She saw that the golden-haired beast had lost the fairy spirit it had yesterday. It was covered in wounds, big and small, and its hair was bald in several places.

The conversation with Dorothy last night ended with Blanche falling asleep suddenly.

There is no conclusion, so the thought has not had time to be cut off yet.

The sun shines through the treetops, casting mottled light and shadows on the grass, and it is already daytime.Blanche reacted for a while before regaining consciousness. She asked Nemo, "What's wrong with you? Where's Dorothy?"

"The people in the town took advantage of me to eat, and came to a few people who are not afraid of the sun, and took Dorothy away... She didn't put on a sun-proof coat when she was taken away. If you don't save her, She will die!" There were no tears in Nemo's eyes, and there were no lacrimal glands in its physiological structure, but the eyes were extremely sad, and the anxious emotion was conveyed all at once.

Blanche is not an emotionally sensitive person, she was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help thinking that Dorothy was very important to Nemo.If the villagers took someone important to her, would she have the same expression as Nemo?

She felt that the idea just now had a sense of déjà vu, but trying to recall it, her mind was empty.

Blanche was suddenly anxious.

Nemo's body was badly wounded, and he had obviously struggled desperately. Blanche touched his cheek and said, "I'll bring Dorothy back."

"I will go with you……"

"You are too heavy for me to drag you away. You will delay my efficiency in saving people." Blanche pointed out bluntly, but she immediately said seriously, "I swear to you that I will take the Dorothy Ribbon Come back, return your important person to you. Then let her relieve me, so that I can also find the important person to me. "

After speaking, the silver-haired girl disappeared in front of Nemo.

Dorothy is a witch in the town's mouth. All children know that there is such a person in the forest, and they never get close to her, because she is like the "grandmother wolf" in fairy tales.

But in fact, Dorothy was once a girl in the town, but she was unusual from birth, because she had the ability to read since she was a child.

Dorothy didn't have a master who taught her to read, and she didn't know what this ability was. She just used it instinctively, and the girl who didn't hide herself was quickly rejected by the villagers.Afterwards, the town suffered a big fire. The source of the fire came from Dorothy’s house. The heater was forgotten to be turned off in winter. The parents, grandparents, and younger sister under three years old were all choked to death by the thick smoke. She survived.

After the fire, people in the town believed that Dorothy was a disaster-causing and unlucky existence. No one wanted to get close to her, and no family even wanted to adopt her. Dorothy was driven to the forest, where she met a cat. A beast with golden fur.

It was not she who raised the beast, but the beast who raised her.

There must always be someone to blame for disasters in the town, even if most people understand that it is just a coincidence, but as long as the target of public criticism is not yourself, what does it matter?

Dorothy was tied to the cross. She opened one of her swollen eyelids to look at the dense crowd of villagers below. They were wearing long robes, hats and masks. To avoid the sun, only a pair of eyes were exposed, which was almost indistinguishable. Who is who? The eyes below are also full of fear, strangeness and disgust. To Dorothy, there is no difference between them.

Dorothy couldn't be exposed to the sun for a long time, but she didn't have a robe on her body, and she already felt the tingling pain on her exposed skin, like a fire, a burning pain in her heart.

"Little Chris from Tang De's family also died in the forest last time. The witch must have killed him!"

"Yes, how many children she killed."

"Think about the fire..."

"Shh-!"

Coupled with Alger's "testimony", the anger of the villagers has reached its peak. Sure enough, all the strange things in the town are related to this evil witch. How can she be so bad?

"She's also afraid of the sun, right? If she stays in the sun like this, she will die..." I don't know who said it.

The crowd was silent for a second.

Immediately afterwards, someone said: "It would be better if she died! She should have died long ago!"

"Yes, she should have died a long time ago!"

"We can't let her go again and again!"

Dorothy was in so much pain that she couldn't hear what the people below were talking about. She just felt that her whole body was being scorched by the fire, her skin was scorched, she curled up, revealing the tender meat inside, and then blisters appeared ...

She couldn't bear this kind of torture any longer, and Dorothy cried out in pain. Her painful appearance frightened the people below, as if even her painful appearance was annoying.

Dorothy felt that she was going to die, and at this moment, she felt her limbs go loose, and she fell down on the stone platform, and then a long dress covered her, covering her bare skin from head to toe. over and over.

Before the people in the town could clearly see what happened with their naked eyes, many people had already fallen down. The crowd suddenly screamed and backed away again and again, only to see a light white shadow grabbing one of the crowd. The boy, with sharp fingers that are different from ordinary people, are on his neck.

"Do you really think Dorothy is a witch?" Blanche asked with a frown. "Will the witch be easily taken away by you and tied to this simple cross?"

Dorothy lying on the ground: "..."

Why do I feel underestimated and can't be happy...

Alger's parents quickly recognized the girl who had briefly appeared in their house. They ran to the front, begged Blanche to let their son go, and cried loudly: "It's obviously the bad witch's fault, She wants to kill Alger!"

But Blanche gave Alger a strange look, and she said to him: "I know you followed us into the forest, didn't you leave you behind?"

Alger swallowed a mouthful of saliva, unable to speak.

"It's fine if you don't say it." Blanche didn't bother to pursue it, she looked at the people below coldly, "First of all, I declare that my fingers are sharper than knives, and I am not afraid of the sun. The whole village combined can't beat me , if I want to kill you all, it will probably take... one, ah no, two... three, four, five hours!"

She estimated a time very casually.But the murderous look was not a joke. When her nails were pulled in slightly, Alger's neck was cut, and a trace of blood flowed down.

The nerves of the epidermis are more abundant and sensitive, and Alger cried out in pain because it was only a small mouth.

His mother nearly passed out.

Blanche continued: "For the sake of the fact that you once invited me to drink coffee, I can let Alger go. But if you dare to take a step closer to the forest, I will let you know what a real witch is."

The silver-haired girl's blue eyes were ice-cold, not like human eyes, but like the pupils of some unknown beast, only looking at them, without emotion.

After speaking, she threw Alger into the crowd, and left with Dorothy amidst the screams.

She returns to the forest and returns Dorothy to Nemo as agreed.

Regardless of the swelling and pain on her body, the brown-haired girl hugged Nemo and wept into tears.

Blanche sat on the side, feeling a strong drowsiness again.

She had just been a paper tiger, and there was a reason why she was in a hurry to leave. Blanche didn't know when she would fall asleep.

But now falling asleep more and more frequently, Blanche had to leave early.

Dorothy notices a drowsy Blanche.

She placed her on the only soft grass in the cave, and covered Blanche's eyelids with her hands.

"Rest well, this is the last long sleep." Dorothy said softly.

Even if she didn't cover Blanche's eyelids, Blanche couldn't hold on.It's just that with the last bit of will, she grabbed Dorothy's wrist, opened and closed her blue eyes, Blanche said with her last bit of strength before losing consciousness.

"I...don't want to forget Kuroro, if possible...give me back my memory..."

Even if it is amnesia, it is also imprinted in the consciousness of a very important person. What right did she have to deprive her of it before?

Just because it is transparent, there is also no concept of good and evil, right and wrong, and ethics?

The brown-haired girl smiled softly with tears in her eyes.

She kissed the girl's forehead, "Everything is as you wish, and you will have a good dream."
