Under pressure from everyone, Jeff took people to the basement.
"That's the one……"
Jeff shivered and seemed to be shaking a little.
The basement is not big, so it seems a bit crowded when a group of people squeeze in.
Bright firelight illuminated the scene inside. Near the center of the basement, a formation was drawn with dark brown lines. Complex lines criss-crossed it. In the center was a huge eye.
And there is a small black box placed in the position of the pupil.
Several people present did not know what kind of formation this was, but their first impression was that this was not a good thing.
Others couldn't see it, and Mo Qin, a newcomer to the industry, naturally couldn't see anything either.
Just when everyone was helpless around this thing, Jeff took the initiative to speak:
"I-I know how to turn this thing off."
"As long as you don't kill me."
Everyone's eyes immediately fell on him. Jeff was afraid that everyone would misunderstand, so he kept explaining.
"When outsiders come to the village, this array will be automatically triggered. It wasn't me, but the array needs to be closed manually afterwards. After closing, the fog outside will disperse."
Someone questioned, "Then why didn't you close it earlier!"
According to him, this array was activated last night. Since he knew it would be shut down, he had to wait until now.
"I, I...have no choice but to do it."
Faced with the questioning, Jeff doubled up.
There was still a curse planted on him. If his life was not at stake now, how could he take the initiative to say this.
Everyone is doubtful.
They didn't entirely trust Jeff's words.
"What do you think?"
Mo Qin, who was still studying the weird formation, was suddenly called upon. Instead of answering Abner's question, she asked Jeff a question.
"After shutting down this array, can the injured and crazy people regain their sanity?"
The fog will clear, but what about the insects?
"This...should be possible..." Jeff carefully looked at everyone's faces, for fear of saying something wrong.
"I don't know either, I haven't tried this before! Those people can't tell me, this..."
Mo Qin once again threw the choice to Abner:
"I have no problem, you guys can make the decision."
Jeff is cursed and his first choice is to kill them all in order to save his life.
What they are most concerned about now are those companions who have been injured and lost their minds. Under this situation, they still have no choice but to agree to Jeff's proposal.
Sure enough, Abner was silent for a moment, and finally had to let Jeff take action.
There was no way, no one at the scene had never seen this kind of formation, and no one dared to act rashly.
"Be honest, if you dare to play any tricks, I will let you go to the pit to accompany those who died in vain!"
Just as Jeff was about to take action, he was frightened by the threat from the person next to him.
"Don't dare, don't dare."
He took out a black stone from his pocket, muttered a few spells, and closed his eyes that were originally open.
After a moment, "I have closed the formation, you must not kill me! This is what you promised!"
A rough-looking man grabbed Jeff's collar, and Jeff's feet instantly lifted off the ground.
"Fuck you! Who promised you!"
"stop!"
Abner made a sound to stop the man. Although the man was dissatisfied, he still let go of Jeff.
"Go outside to check the situation first."
After waiting for a while, the fog outside began to lift.
I don't know whether it was out of the spirit of the contract or to take the insurance route, but Abner did not let anyone kill Jeff. Instead, he ordered someone to search his body, tie him up, and lock him in a room on the first floor.
"The fog is really starting to lift!"
"It seems he is telling the truth."
"Huh! I wouldn't dare lie even if I tried to measure him!"
The originally thick fog gradually became thinner, and the original appearance of the village was revealed bit by bit.
Soon I saw several figures running towards this side, and they started shouting before they even got close:
"So you are here! Where is the doctor? Is he here too?"
"Come and help!"
"When the fog started to lift just now, he gradually became quiet."
The two men carried an unconscious man into the house.
"The doctor isn't here."
"But now the fog is lifting, let's go out and find a doctor."
Wenzel came in behind the three of them. He walked straight to Mo Qin and called "Sir" in a low voice. Mo Qin nodded and said nothing else.
Abner, on the other hand, frowned and said, "As an attendant, why don't you follow Qin?"
If you do not leave your post without permission from your master, it is a dereliction of duty.
Wenzel didn't speak, he just lowered his head, as if admitting his mistake.
Mo Qin: "..."
Not acting really betrays this talent.
The people who came back with him helped to excuse him.
"Lord Holy Son, Wenzel accidentally got separated from Lord Qin. He met us on the way to find someone."
Wenzel did not go down the steps, but admitted his mistake, "I was negligent in my duty."
But his words were not addressed to Abner, but to Mo Qin.
If she hadn't been so sure that the person she met before was Wenzel, she would have believed it.
Abner was reluctant, "You..."
"Your Majesty the Holy Son, I will discipline my people privately. The top priority is to find a doctor."
Although those crazy people have calmed down now, there is no guarantee that nothing unexpected will happen.
Not just finding doctors, but other people.
Being humiliated, a trace of displeasure flashed in Abner's eyes, "Don't be too indulging your subordinates. Tolerance and kindness do not mean there is no bottom line."
He didn't have the slightest fondness for Wenzel who became Mo Qin's attendant.
He couldn't tell whether the accusation at this time was out of anger at Wenzel's dereliction of duty, or out of anger at Mo Qin for not becoming his own person.
But Mo Qin is right, the most important thing now is not Wenzel.
The people in the temple were divided into four waves. Three waves went out to look for people, and the remaining wave stayed here to look at the injured and Jeff.
-
As the fog dissipates, the whole village is revealed.
Needless to say, the small village was dilapidated and depressed. The villagers who had been restrained before were also unconscious and lying on the side of the road.
In the past, I only regarded them as ordinary people and did not hurt them when dealing with them, so I missed the truth.
On the path, the girl with light blond hair walked in front, and the boy with black hair followed closely. His eyes fell on the girl in front of him, and he was not looking for anyone seriously at all.
Mo Qin paid attention to the houses on both sides and asked:
"Are you OK?"
In order to escape, he was stabbed. Wenzel had the ability to heal wounds, so there shouldn't be any problems, but she couldn't help but ask more.
Wenzel replied obediently, "I'm fine."
Mo Qin nodded, "Well, I'll believe you when you say it's okay."
To beat around the bush is to treat the enemy. If Wenzel lies to her...then it will be your own fault.
He was the one who made the move anyway!
Wenzel stopped and said with a hint of joy in his voice, "Do you care about me, sir?"
Hearing this, Mo Qin stopped and turned to look at him.
I want to know what the heck he is doing.
