Chapter 77 - Here Comes the Evil God (9)
The sound of Ariel’s footsteps made Ye He think of Judith’s painting almost instantly, but the fact that he didn’t hear Ariel’s breathing filled his doubts, leaving him no time to pay attention to this strange thing. footsteps.
The system on the other end didn’t respond. It felt that Ariel didn’t look like a human before, so it wasn’t surprising that it didn’t hear her breathing.
It was just that Ariel’s figure was not far away, and its eyesight was much better than that of humans, so after Ariel agreed, a figure suddenly appeared in the place where there was no one.
The girl named Ariel was lying on the ground, and her slender limbs were like twisted twists, moving forward with difficulty. Just judging from the degree of distortion of Ariel’s hands and feet, it was impossible to be a living person.
She was also wearing a skirt that was no longer visible, as if it had been soaked in mud and blood. Only the bow on her head was relatively clean and not stained with blood. The long hair hanging down covered her face, and only the pale chin could be seen.
The system wanted Ye He to run quickly, but Ariel’s apologetic voice sounded: “Sorry, my hands and legs are injured, so I walk a little slowly.”
Ye He: “It’s fine.”
He said to the system with guilt in his heart: “I thought her walking sound was strange just now. Now that I think about it, it must be because of the injury.”
system:【……】
In some respects, Ye He also guessed the truth.
Thinking that Ariel was struggling to move at this time, Ye He couldn’t bear it more: “I think I really need to come forward and help.”
System: [Wait…]
Before it could finish speaking, there was a sudden scream from Ariel in the forest, and Ariel’s figure suddenly stepped back a few steps, and her trembling voice came from the air: “The… … see you later.”
As soon as the voice fell, her figure had disappeared in place.
Looking at the speed at which the other party ran away, it was obvious that they were afraid of something.
The system suddenly became vigilant. Could there be other things in the forest?
Ye He didn’t know what the system was thinking. When he heard Ariel’s sudden scream, he was about to rush to help, but he didn’t expect that the other party only left such a sudden word.
He hurriedly called Ariel’s name, wanting to ask the other party what happened.
But Ariel did not answer this time.
Seeing that Ye He still wanted to call Ariel’s name again, the system quickly said: [Stop calling, the person has already left. 】
Hearing the system’s words, Ye He’s expression flashed a bit of regret, and then he asked as if thinking of something, “Did you see what she looked like?”
System: [……I didn’t see clearly. 】
Ye He sighed: “How come it’s good, suddenly I don’t see me.”
Thinking that there might be more terrifying things in this forest, the system just wanted to urge Ye He to leave here quickly: “Let’s go back as soon as possible, Judith should be in a hurry.”
Ye He nodded: “Yes.”
At this moment, there was a sudden rustling sound in the grass behind him, Ye He turned his head suddenly, thinking that Ariel was going back and forth, just as he was about to ask, he saw a light drill out from the grass. shadow.
After seeing the shadow clearly, Ye He’s originally hanging heart suddenly let go: “Xiao Hei.”
The figure jumping out of the grass was the black cat he was most familiar with.
Seeing the black cat, the system also felt relieved. After all, it thought that the thing that scared Ariel came out just now, and was preparing to let Ye He run away.
The black cat obviously saw Ye He as well, although its expression did not change, but the hurried steps towards Ye He honestly revealed his mood.
…how is Xiao Hei here?
Ye He did not directly bend down and pick up the black cat as usual, but looked at each other with a certain sternness in his voice: “Why are you here?”
The black cat naturally heard Ye He’s uncharacteristic tone. It stood on the spot and suddenly raised its left paw.
It didn’t know when there was a small wound on its left paw, as if it had been scratched by a twig in the forest.
Ye He’s feigned serious look instantly broke the defense, bent down and hugged the black cat in his arms distressedly, holding Xiao Hei’s front paws and scrutinized: “Where is this hurt?”
Fortunately, the wound is not serious, and it is no longer bleeding.
Thinking of Black Cat’s skilled movements just now, the system couldn’t help but wonder if the other party did it on purpose. But thinking of how much Ye He loves cats, he still forcibly endured his doubtful words.
The black cat shrank in his arms, although it hadn’t barked since Ye He raised it, but this did not prevent Ye He from reading its grievances.
The black cat’s paw was injured, and Ye He naturally wanted to walk with it.
The system asked very calmly: [Why is it here? I remember you closing the door. 】
Ye He said a little embarrassedly: “I don’t seem to have closed the window.”
At that time, in order to ventilate, he deliberately left a gap in the window, but he forgot that the cat is a flowing liquid and can easily get out.
Thinking about it carefully, Xiao Hei’s presence here is also half of his responsibility. He suspected that Xiao Hei was following him all the way, otherwise it would be impossible to find this place.
Thinking that Xiao Hei secretly followed him for so long, Ye He’s heart suddenly felt a little more moved and sad.
Because Ariel was no longer here, Ye He didn’t plan to stay, but decided to take Xiao Hei out of the forest first.
But before leaving, Ye He still took a look at the place where Ariel’s scream came from just now. As the system said, there was no one there, but a few candies were scattered.
Ye He recognized that this candy was the one he bought for Judith before, and Judith also said that she would leave it for her friends to eat. Although he didn’t know if Ariel would come back, Ye He still wiped the dirt off the wrapping paper and put it aside on a fairly clean stone.
As Ye He walked back with the cat in his arms, he said in his heart, “Ariel ran away so quickly, and I don’t know what happened.”
Seeing that Ye He was far away from the dangerous area just now, the system couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief, and there was a bit of ease in his voice: [Maybe there is an urgent matter. 】
Ye He frowned: “But she’s hiding too fast, does she just live in the forest?”
But he did not see the existence of the house.
The system thought that Ariel obviously did not live in the house. It was afraid that Ye He would step on the wrong foot, and accidentally stepped on Ariel’s grave and angered the other party.
When Ye He walked out of the forest, he found that Judith was already standing at the door of the house just as Ariel had said. Only with Judith was Mary.
Mary was grabbing Judith’s clothes and saying something angrily, but Judith obediently lowered her head and was grabbed by her, and she kept her head down and didn’t dare to say a word. From this, Ye He could already see the relationship between the two of them. What exactly is the pattern.
When she noticed footsteps walking in, she raised her head, revealing her face without makeup. Although she was pretty, she looked tired and mature, as if she didn’t have time to put on makeup.
Mary’s scratched arm was wrapped in gauze and occasionally oozing blood. The pain made her feel worse, and her attitude towards Judith was very rough.
Seeing Ye He, her expression suddenly showed a bit of panic, she let go of the hand that was holding Judith, and raised her hand as if to cover her appearance.
However, after her eyes fell on the black cat in Ye He’s arms, her face suddenly paled, and she rudely dragged Judith into the room without saying a word.
Judith was staggered by her and turned to look at Ye He: “I… I haven’t said goodbye to Brother Revere…”
Mary glared at her sternly, then walked directly into the door.
Ye He wanted to go forward, but Mary had already closed the door without hesitation, making him forget that his original purpose was to apologize for Xiao Hei, so he knocked on the door and said, “Don’t hit the child, She did nothing wrong.”
Mary in the door probably hoped that Ye He would leave quickly, so she responded, but compared to her previous enthusiasm, she seemed extraordinarily cold.
Ye He also understood that it was the black cat in his arms, but looking at the closed door, he couldn’t do anything for a while.
Looking at Mary’s attitude of withdrawing from him, it was obvious that it was impossible to open the door for him.
After thinking about it, Ye He had to hold Xiao Hei and leave first.
Although Xiao Hei’s claws didn’t seem to be in serious trouble, Ye He still bought some bandages for him on the way back.
In the process of bandaging, Xiao Hei has always been well-behaved. After the bandaging, its movements were also restricted, and it was more upright and open in Ye He’s arms.
Only then did Ye He faintly realize that Xiao Hei’s obedience just now was probably for the enjoyment of the moment.
Before going to bed at night, Ye He was lying on the bed, but instead of falling asleep as usual, he sighed at the same time as the system.
The black cat curled up around his neck, closed his eyes, and seemed to have entered a steady breath.
Ye He was also a little sleepy, but he didn’t dare to close his eyes. When he closed his eyes, what appeared in front of his eyes were green eyes.
He couldn’t help but sighed again: “It’s over, I don’t think I dare to sleep tonight.”
Because he was too nervous, he even read several pages before lying back in bed today, for fear that he would be folded on the test paper like last night.
The system has already consulted Ilfis’ information, so he knows that Ye He’s fear at this time will only attract Ilfis in his dream.
System: [Think of something happy, you’ve made enough money…]
Before he could finish his words, Ye He had already made up his mind that he was rich, and the system was like a wretched wife who was about to be abandoned, holding his thigh and begging bitterly. And he himself took Xiao Hei and drove away in the car, leaving only a few steel rods and endless car exhaust for the system.
Although I don’t know what Ye He is thinking at this moment, but seeing the smile on Ye He’s lips at this moment, the system is inexplicably cold behind him, and he always feels that what the other party is thinking now seems to be closely related to it.
It has to be said that the method of the system is indeed useful. At this time, Ye He only felt relieved for a while, and the tension just now disappeared.
He yawned and closed his eyes dazedly.
This time, perhaps because the system’s words played a role, Ye He didn’t dream about Ilphis again, so that when he was woken up by the alarm clock the next day, he still felt a little dazed.
After the system inquired about Ye He’s dream that night, it was also a little stunned: [This…]
After not dreaming of Ilphis, Ye He was instantly happy, and pretended to be indifferent: “It’s just a passerby in the dream, you are too nervous.”
…… Who was nervous last night?
The system looked at Ye He who had forgotten his words and deeds last night as if he had lost his memory, and couldn’t help falling into silence.
After Ye He took a shower as usual, he opened the door to continue today’s business.
Bob became the first person to come today. According to his words, today is the birthday of his goddess. Although the other party didn’t hold a birthday party, he still bought a card to congratulate him, and because of this he had no money for breakfast, so he came to Yehe’s store. Take a bite to eat.
Because Bob helped him attract a lot of business before, Ye He still welcomed Bob’s arrival.
As soon as Bob came, his eyes fell on Xiao Hei in Ye He’s arms. Seeing that Xiao Hei’s claws were bound with bandages, he immediately asked with concern what happened.
Seeing that Bob also showed a distressed look, the system suddenly felt that he was out of tune with this atmosphere, whether he needed to raise an electronic pet so that he could have a common topic with Ye He.
Little Fatty is like a walking intelligence station, good at listening to information from people around him. Once Ye He went out to complete a commission, he saw Bob standing with a group of grandparents, discussing something harmoniously, and he I also deeply understand why the other party can introduce so many businesses to myself.
At this time, he was talking to Ye He about what happened recently while he was eating.
Although it has only been a few days since George’s death, according to Bob, the people nearby have been greeted by the mayor and are not allowed to mention this matter again.
Hearing Bob’s words, Ye He was taken aback: “But I didn’t receive the news. When did the mayor send someone to say hello?”
Bob: “In the afternoon, you seem to be outside at that time.”
Ye He thought for a while, he was really on his way to take Judith home, so it was normal that he didn’t receive any news.
When he heard Ye He said that the reason was because he sent Judith home, Bob suddenly showed a look of astonishment, and he said as if remembering something: “I wanted to say before, why are you with Judith? ?”
Ye He put down his chopsticks: “What happened to Judith?”
He remembered again how Bob had run away that day, obviously knowing something.
Bob sighed: “My mother said that her mother is a prostitute, and she doesn’t know who she gave birth to. She is born with mental problems. Many people have seen her talking to the air, and because of this. frightened others.”
“And sometimes it’s terrifying to keep looking at other people all the time.”
Apparently, Bob’s mother used the word prostitute a lot on weekdays, so Bob could say it very naturally.
Ye He thought about it carefully, when Judith was by his side, she did not speak to the air. However, because of her slow response, Judith does stare at a person for a long time, and it is indeed a little scary when her face is expressionless. It is no wonder that some children are scared to cry.
Bob continued: “Her mother’s situation in the town was… In the long run, she didn’t show up much. I heard that she was locked at home. But even if she did, our parents wouldn’t let us play with her.”
Ye He felt some pity in his heart, and quickly wanted to reverse her image in Bob for Judith: “I think she is a good child.”
Bob nodded perfunctorily, apparently not taking Ye He’s words to heart, and Ye He also knew that the other party’s thoughts were difficult to reverse for a while, so he changed the subject and asked, “Do you know Ariel?”
Bob shook his head: “I don’t know, I haven’t heard her name.”
Ye He was not too disappointed that Bob hadn’t heard Ariel’s name. After all, although the town was not big, it was impossible for Bob to remember everyone’s names.
The loyal little fat man patted his chest: “But I can ask you about my network for you.”
Ye He was about to nod his head to thank him when he heard footsteps coming from outside the door. A stranger suddenly rushed in, and the one behind him was none other than the mayor.
The stranger looked to be in his forties, still holding a compass in his hand, and his dark eyes looked around the room, as if he was looking for something.
His eyes fell on the black cat in Ye He’s arms, and he quickly moved away. And the black cat didn’t care much about his appearance, and nestled in Ye He’s arms.
Ye He and the little fat man stood up long ago. He hugged the black cat and looked at the two people who suddenly broke in. He suppressed his displeasure and asked, “You are…”
The mayor looked at Ye He. He had already seen from the other party’s appearance that Ye He was an outsider, so he said indifferently, “We are here to find…”
“No.” The man suddenly interrupted the mayor, and put away the compass while speaking: “Let’s continue to the next house.”
The mayor frowned, with a worried look on his face, then turned around and left with the man.
Ye He and Little Fatty looked at each other, and both felt puzzled by the two who suddenly appeared and left inexplicably.
Obviously, even the little fat man didn’t know about this.
Seeing the back of the mayor disappear in front of his eyes, the little fat man patted his chest and breathed a sigh of relief: “Scared me to death, I thought the mayor suddenly thought about Robert and wanted to trouble the two of us.”
His voice fell, but he couldn’t wait for Ye He’s response. The little fat man turned his head to look, only to realize that Ye He was sneaking out the door.
Bob hurriedly tiptoed over, followed Ye He’s line of sight, and found that the mayor and the strange man were walking in the direction of the next house.
Only this time, the two of them ran into Andersey’s group head-on.
Ye He counted and found that this time Andersey’s team was missing one person, and the short-haired girl was staring at the mayor with red eyes, looking angry: “Did you make a ghost?!”
