Chapter 50

Sunflower's smiling face suddenly tore apart, and a dark shadow slowly crawled out from the fabric.

It is a pure shadow, without any color details except for the outline that is close to the human form, only the extremely long hands and feet that are as sharp as the limbs of insects.

The shadow got out of the torn fabric, and straightened up its slender body, which was more than four meters high from head to tail.When its blood-slit eyes looked down, the clear and bright street suddenly became gloomy and windy.

"Hello, everyone," it said in a voice as soft as a spider's silk, "I'm the director of the nursery. They usually call me Bendis."

Jing Huang looked up at him. "Are you a Nightmare?"

"As you can see."

"It's a pity that you, who specialize in child stealing, are allowed to take care of the children. It's a shame that the old man can do it."

The lanky shadow who called himself Bendis bowed slightly.It has only outlines, but still exudes an extremely elegant demeanor.

"The Lord of the Gate City has sent me a letter." It said, "According to the will of that Excellency, I will do my best to cooperate with your investigation. At the same time, I need to remind everyone that as the director of the custody, I The safety of the children in the facility will be closely monitored.”

It backed away like a ghost, hugging the boy Kiki with its elongated and strange arms.The scene was really horrifying, but the boy hugged its neck very attached, but looked at Jing Huang with fearful eyes.

Luo Binhan looked very sad, poked Jing Huang and said, "Look, other children like demons more than you. Is it a demon or you? You should think about it yourself!"

Jing Huang didn't pay any attention.He stared at Bendis and said, "Lend me the one in your arms."

"This is the property of the safe house."

Jing Huang picked up the little girl kicking the tree root: "I'll trade this for you."

Bendis watched him quietly.Its eyes were obviously just two bloody lights, but for some reason Luo Binhan could read strong resistance and struggle from them.

Finally, it said slowly: "I will cooperate with your investigation work within a reasonable scale."

"What's unreasonable?" Jing Huang said, shaking the little girl's collar, "If someone else kills his mother, I'll help him kill others. It's such a simple matter, so I have to gossip. I want to take this kid to the scene Go around and see if he can remember some details. If you are worried, just follow along."

The little girl who was carried in the air by him gave him a dark look.

Bendis didn't speak, and the dark figure revealed extreme reluctance.Until the boy in its arms moved slightly and whispered in its ear.

"...well," it said, "I will accompany you in order to watch over two important assets of the depository."

It stretched out its other slender arm, and grabbed the little girl that Jing Huang was carrying into its arms.

Jing Huang turned around nonchalantly, kicked the pine tree a few times. "Villamodulica," he read, "Villadoluraca."

The pine trees that had been motionless for a long time began to sway violently, and grew from ordinary trees to towering giants in a blink of an eye.The wormhole that was originally located at the root of the tree also expanded, turning into a deep and spacious tree cave.

He took the lead and drilled in.The entrance to the tree cave is low, but it is enough for adults to enter and exit. Only the tall Yale Liga has a little trouble.She had to pad her horns with her hands to avoid scratching the edge of the tree hole.

Luo Binhan followed behind her.The moment he entered the tree cave, he had the feeling similar to when he crossed the sky wall.The cave is cool and humid, and there are cicadas and birds singing faintly outside.

He climbed about ten steps, and finally got out from under a large piece of ivy.The surrounding pine trees are deep and the forests are verdant, which seems to be a wild land.

Luo Binhan looked up at the sky.The heavy tree crowns are shrouded like giant umbrellas, making the surrounding environment extremely dark. Only a little sunlight shines through the gaps in the leaves, which proves that it is still daytime.

The vine waterfall behind him swayed, and Momolo and Bendis got out of it one after another.Both children sat quietly in the latter's arms.

"Follow me, please," Bendis said.

It burrowed into the depths of the pine forest with a short body, and its strange posture was not so much walking as crawling with its feet and arm joints.Luo Binhan was a little startled, so he quietly asked Momolo: "What is the origin of this thing?"

"Mr. Bendis is supposed to be a night-gaunt elf," Momolo said. "They like to hide under the beds of human babies and feed on their fears and nightmares. They look scary, but they don't really hurt." Human life. However, if parents abuse their children, they sometimes steal the children from the home and replace them with their own young children to create disasters. Therefore, Mr. Luo must pay attention to family harmony in the future, and don’t let the children be abducted.”

Luo Binhan felt heavy after hearing this, pointing at Jing Huang and condemning: "Look at it, look at it, they would rather be with a trafficker than with you!"

"None of my business." Jing Huang said.

The air in the forest was fresh and humid. They walked through the thick rotting leaves and followed Bendis' figure with some difficulty.The surrounding vegetation is flourishing, and the sound of insects is undulating like fine waves.This pine forest is ethereal and quiet, without any scary atmosphere.Luo Binhan couldn't imagine that there had been a brutal murder here, until he came to a small road with rope signs hanging on both sides.

A very inconspicuous forest path.It lies quietly under the cover of bushes and weeds, presumably only the regulars can know it.

There are dots of dark spots left on the weeds, which look like a gathering of flies and insects from a distance. It is not until a closer look that people realize that they are blood stains accumulated over the years.

Luo Binhan couldn't help but slow down.The air was filled with a seemingly non-existent rancid stench, and he told himself rationally that it was just a psychological illusion.

Bendis stopped in front of the blood and gently put the two children down.

"Here it is." It whispered.

The boy stared dully at the grass.He began to tremble all over, and in stark contrast to him was the little girl.

As comfortable and natural as returning home, she wandered around beside the large bloodstain, with a childlike and joyful smile on her face.

"It's funny here," she said. "You've got your soul bitten to pieces. It must be very, very painful, isn't it?"

Jing Huang frowned and looked at Bendis: "Hey, what's the matter with this little girl?"

"She is an orphan of the Silent School." Bendis replied, "Since...the chaos, the believers brought her out of Princess Mountain and placed her behind my door."

"Aren't you afraid of causing trouble if you mix this little cultist with other children?"

Bendis rested his slender claws on the boy's head. "She is also the Youngest," it said, "but has a different idea of ​​death."

The ugly claw seemed to give the boy courage.Kiki suddenly stood on tiptoe and whispered to Bendis.After a long time, Bendis picked him up again.

"That happened in the afternoon," said Bendis. "My mother took me for a walk by the lake, and she said she was going to teach me how to catch a dragonfly. We travel to this planet every summer, and we all go this way." .This is a scenic spot. We have never encountered danger before. We passed this road that day, and my mother was walking by the side of the forest. She was telling me why my teeth hurt after eating sugar, and the thing ran out of the forest It opened its mouth to bite Mom's face, and Mom didn't make a sound, only bones cracked. Then a lot of blood splattered. Mom's head was gone, she fell to the ground, and the thing ran into the woods again."

It deliberately imitated the boy's tone, and even the tone of voice was vivid.

Jing Huang listened to what it said, then walked to the middle of the path, observing the bloodstains on the ground.

"Kill the lord and run away? You don't even want the part below the head. It seems that it's really not for filling your stomach... Where did that thing escape from?"

Bendis raised a long finger and pointed it at Jing Juan's back.

"There," it said, "going all the way there are mountains."
