It is a friendly custom to greet each other why they are still alive, and I don't know where.

Luo Feifei held a cup of hot water on the sofa and blew on it. After listening to the conversation between Qi Yu and the woman, he suddenly felt a little funny.

With a little smile on his lips, Luo Feifei sipped his saliva to moisten his throat, and heard Qi Yu laugh and then said: "Ma'am, don't get me wrong, we have no malicious intentions."

The other party didn't express anything, just looked at him indifferently, Qi Yu asked again: "I'm just a little strange, why did you arrange the Christmas tree in advance?"

"...No reason." The woman's pale and long fingertips were caressing the outer edge of the teacup. Her eyes were also different from those of other residents. feel the breath of life.

She thought for a while and added softly: "It's just that I guessed it just right. You never know what the request of 'it' will be. If you get away with it once, it doesn't mean that you will be fine next time."

"What do you mean?" The woman in front of me must be the key clue of this level. Qi Yu's eyes seemed to be casual and lazy, but he was actually closely watching the woman's every move, and asked.

"I think you're a bit unfamiliar." The woman didn't answer Qi Yu's question directly, but instead scanned the faces of the three of them one by one and asked, "Are you from outside?"

"Yes." When she asked this question, she looked at Luo Fei, who nodded and replied, "We are new here, it's normal that you haven't seen us, the mayor gave us the Christmas decorations Task."

"...That's it." The woman nodded, as if she was talking to herself, "That's not surprising."

"Madam." Luo Fei leaned forward slightly in the direction of the woman, and asked tentatively, "Madam, may I ask, what is going on in this town?"

Madam looked up at her and asked without answering, "Outsiders, how much do you know about this town?"

"I don't know much about it. This town is called Christmas Town. I like to celebrate Christmas. There is a very irritable Santa Claus. If the Christmas decorations do not satisfy him, he will be——"

Qi Yu replied in a casual tone, leaned back on the back of the sofa, raised his head slightly, and raised his hand to wipe his neck.

Listening to his description, the woman couldn't see any emotion. She took a sip of the tea in front of her, then put down the cup and said slowly:

"You don't know, this town was not called Christmas Town before."

Here comes the plot push.

Luo Feifei immediately raised his spirits, sat up straight unconsciously, and quietly waited for the woman to continue.

The woman said plainly: "This is just an ordinary town. If there is anything special, it is the tree that just grows at the entrance of the town."

"It's very tall and perfectly shaped without any excess branches."

"Every year at Christmas, everyone in the town will decorate the town together, especially the tree at the door." The woman recalled, probably recalling the lively scene, and a little warmth finally appeared in her plain eyes. meaning.

"We would dress it up from the top to the base of the tree, the top of the tree is usually a shining star, the tree will be covered with decorations, and it usually snows on Christmas Eve, and the snow accumulates on the tree, shining The lightbulbs are reflected through the snow and look even better than usual."

"Sometimes, outsiders even come to our town during Christmas just to see this magnificent and beautiful huge Christmas tree." The woman seemed to smile, "At that time, this Christmas tree was famous far and wide, but we The symbol of the town."

"Our town is famous for Christmas, but it wasn't called Christmas Town at that time. Although our Christmas is very lively, but..." The faint smile on the corner of the woman's mouth gradually turned dark and bitter, "But, it's not that, Christmas on repeat."

"Then what is it like now..." Luo Fei subconsciously glanced at the Christmas tree placed in the room, and asked.

Through the window, you can still see the pine trees they cut for decoration, which are safely piled on the cart and parked at the door of the woman's house.

Following her gaze, the woman also looked at the Christmas tree in her home vainly, and gradually frowned, showing undisguised disgust in her eyes.

"The town is what it is because our Christmas tree has attracted a demon—a nasty, ravenous demon."

demon? ? ?

Luo Feifei drank water, the water glass covered the part below his nose, and felt that the style of the story suddenly changed from horror to magic.

"That's a demon who likes Christmas. He likes it to the point of sickness. He likes it so much that every day is Christmas. He especially likes other people to decorate Christmas for it. Everyone is a plaything for playing Christmas games with it. That demon -"

The woman paused for a while, looked away from the Christmas tree, stared at the teacup in front of her again, and then continued: "It likes to pretend to be Santa Claus."

"..."

Even if the woman didn't say anything, they could guess that the extremely violent and cruel Santa Claus who beheaded him at the slightest disagreement was the most problematic.

But... like the devil of Christmas? ? ?

Luo Feifei didn't know where to complain. Is it because you are a devil, or is it that my lord can't hold the cross?

The woman didn't seem to notice the wonderful expressions on the three people's faces after hearing the above words, and continued to tell softly: "That devil came from nowhere, it seems to have been looking for a place he likes to enjoy Christmas, maybe it was caught Our Christmas vibe appeals to our small town with its giant Christmas tree."

"This is the beginning of disaster for our town."

"I remember that day, it was a Christmas Eve night."

The woman's thoughts drifted back to the starting point of everything: "That day, like all Christmas Eves, we decorated the town and our home warmly and beautifully, Christmas songs echoed in the streets, and the Christmas tree at the entrance of the town was still shining. "

"That night, when most of the people were asleep, the demon came."

"It killed Santa Claus, disguised itself as Santa Claus, entered every house and gave out Christmas presents."

A fiend's Christmas present, certainly not a pleasant one.

Sure enough, the woman went on to say: "When I got up the next day, all the children in the town found the tragically dead bodies of small animals in the socks beside their beds."

"Alas……"

Luo Fei made a disdainful sound, what a psychological shadow this must be for the child.

"When people thought it was a prank, they went to the mayor's house to complain angrily, and wanted to catch the prankster, and the devil appeared."

The woman closed her eyes: "It was attached to a child at the time, announcing with the most childlike innocence and the most chilling expression that this town belongs to it, and it will be called 'Christmas Town' from now on. It owns Christmas, it can make Christmas whenever it wants, and everyone has to decorate the town to be with it."

"And every Christmas, it will serve as the acceptance result of Santa Claus, perform the duties of Santa Claus by the way, and send gifts according to its mood."

The woman let out a short breath, as if lamenting the misfortune of the town: "After speaking, it left the child's body, and the child fell straight backwards. Fortunately, his mother hugged him from behind. The child After a while, I came back to my senses, and I was so frightened that I burst into tears."

"At first, some people thought it was a bad joke, but since then, the town has changed so that people can't lie to themselves."

"It's like we're cut off from the rest of the world, it's always winter, and the next Christmas could come any day now."

"If the Christmas decorations make it unsatisfactory, there will be dire consequences, just like... two days ago." The woman held the teacup with her fingers, exerting a little force.

"The most frightening thing is that you never know what it is satisfied with. It is different every time. Even if you get it right this time, no one can tell you the next time... No one can be lucky forever."

"And if this Christmas satisfies him, once Christmas is over, all the Christmas decorations will disappear overnight, and they will have to be redecorated before the next Christmas..."

"Christmas has changed from a warm and happy festival at first to a nightmare in everyone's heart."

"Those who didn't satisfy him..." the woman paused for a long while, her lips trembling slightly, "Basically, they are not human anymore."

"I can't say what they are, but—I think you've seen them all along the way, and those people probably can't be called 'alive' anymore."

"They... have all become its property, and they will do everything they can to cooperate with it to decorate Christmas, and cooperate with it to complete the terrible Christmas game."

"I don't know how many 'living people' there are in this town..." The woman took a deep breath tremblingly, and let it out softly, "I haven't communicated with other people for a long time. , this town seems to have died a long time ago."

After sorting out the cause and effect, Luo Feifei understood.

The reason why this town is as quiet as death is that there are not many "living people" in the first place, and the second is that fear prevents everyone from going out easily.

As for why these "outsiders" can enter this isolated town to settle down...

Luo Feifei would not comment on this kind of death-defying behavior that is standard for the protagonist.

"So, did you escape the catastrophe because you just arranged the Christmas tree before?" Luo Fei pursed her lips and asked.

"Yes, but even if you can survive the last time, it doesn't mean you can survive tonight." The woman smiled wryly, "Devils are very random, you never know if something will provoke you this time." It's angry."

"You are outsiders, you are still alive, the rules here may not restrict you..." The woman pondered, then looked up at them, her black eyes flickering.

"Young man, I would like to ask you, if possible, can you save this town." The woman clasped her hands in front of her chest, as if praying, "I don't want to die, I have worked hard to survive under the hands of the devil until now, no People are willing to lose their lives easily. Young people, you are outsiders, and you were not in this town when the devil cast the curse, and maybe, only you can destroy the devil."

Luo Feifei thought that he didn't die because the rules were invalid, but that the one with more lives and less lives had passed away.

The hot water in the cup has gradually cooled down. Luo Feifei put down the cup that was no longer warm, and smiled gentlemanly: "Madam, don't worry, the three of us will do our best to repay Madam for the glass of water."
