There are two things happening in Gusttown today.

The first thing was that this morning, Ms. Martin, who was shepherding sheep in the pasture at the entrance of the town, suddenly disappeared.

Because Madam Martin was a devout believer, Burren Lang went to the ranch with the sheriff early in the morning because of this incident. After a day of hard work, I didn't find out where Ms. Martin had gone.

However, some blood and minced flesh appeared near the place where Ms. Martin disappeared, and although it was not certain whether the minced meat was human tissue, the sheriff was not optimistic about Ms. Martin's current situation.

That's why Bronlong isn't in church all day today.

And the second thing is that the nine-year-old son of the tailor Sansi, Anthony, died.

There is no direct connection between these two events, but because of the disappearance of Ms. Martin in the morning, the whole town of Gust is panicked, and the tailor Sansi is also affected. When she finished cooking at night and was about to ask Anthony to eat, she found that the other person was not there, Anthony was usually naughty, and the Sansi tailor was actually not very disciplined, and Anthony would come back to eat when he was hungry.

But today, because of Ms. Martin's matter, Tailor Sansi had some ominous premonitions in her heart, and she asked Anthony's usual friends only to find out that Anthony was not playing with them today, and they thought that Anthony was punished by Tailor Sansi and was not allowed to go out.

Upon hearing the news, Tailor Sansi became more and more uneasy, and she hurried to the sheriff for help.

Then, not long ago, the sheriff took a team of knights and questioned Anthony's friends, and finally found his body at the secret base where Anthony usually likes to stay the most.

"Is there still only a head left?" Alex asked softly with a deep look in his eyes.

Father Bronlong nodded, "Yes, all the limbs of the body are gone, only a head, which is placed on a tattered doll in Anthony's secret base. ”

Father Bronlong's eyes were filled with compassion and a look of great sorrow.

Alex also has a sympathetic look of grief, as if he can empathize with the anguished Sansi tailor in the church.

But Alex's mind was actually spinning rapidly, and his eyes were getting darker and darker.

After Fr. Bronlong had finished speaking, he went to reassure the grieving family and the residents who had been disturbed by these two events.

Alex stepped back to the secluded side, looked at the chaotic scene in the church from afar, and whispered, "The situation has escalated." ”

Angel, who was hidden on the side, nodded.

Ms. Martin's disappearance has not yet been conclusive, so let's not talk about it for the time being. But in all likelihood, she also died.

And Anthony's death was a watershed. Anthony's death is exactly the same as the modus operandi of the previous series of murders, but the reason why the murderer wanted to kill Anthony is different.

In the past, including Raven Knight, Miss Camelot...... Wait, the reason for the death of this group of people is basically because they have to leave Gust Town and discover the truth about Fan Cage, which will cause disaster.

But Anthony is different, this is a nine-year-old child, no matter how naughty he is, it is impossible for him to run alone dozens of miles away without his family.

Moreover, the tailor Sansi made it very clear that when she got up in the morning, Anthony was still sleeping at home.

Anthony was killed in the morning after the tailor went to the tailor's shop in the morning and until the evening.

In just a few hours, with Anthony's footsteps, he couldn't run to the edge of the cage.

Therefore, the cause of Anthony's death is completely different from the serial murder case.

If Riven Knight and Camelot were really the murderers of Anthony, then the situation had really escalated!

"Why did they kill Anthony?" Alex murmured.

"For a long time, an event that has been constant, there is a variable. Angels replied.

Alex also nodded: "Lady Connie's escape is indeed variable. However, I can't figure out why they are affecting Anthony.

When Alex was puzzled, Father Bronlong called Alex and went to the place where Anthony died.

Because Anthony's head was still there, Father Brown Lang wanted to join Alex in reciting the Father's Death Surah for Anthony.

Angel also whispered to him: "Since you can't figure it out, then go over and take a look." ”

Alex nodded.

Soon a crowd left the church, but as it was a funeral for the dead, the sheriff and Father Bronlong dissuaded the inhabitants from going home first, leaving only the disillusioned Tailor Sansi with them.

Led by the sheriff, the group made their way to Anthony's secret base.

And on the way to the secret base, Alex's brow furrowed more and more.

The sheriff of Gusttown was a middle-aged man with a very conspicuous maroon beard, and he noticed Alex's abnormality and asked suspiciously, "What's wrong with you?"

Everyone followed the sound and looked over, Alex adjusted his expression slightly, and said in a low voice: "It's nothing, I'm just a little confused." ”

"Did you find anything? Tell me about it. The sheriff didn't find anything himself, and he didn't think Alex, the white-haired boy, would find anything, so there was some banter in his words.

"Naturally, I didn't find any clues, I just had a doubt, the route we are heading on now seems to coincide with going to Ms. Martin's ranch?" Alex said.

The sheriff nodded: "There is indeed a distance that coincides, because Anthony's secret base is actually very close to Ms. Martin's ranch, almost adjacent. ”

"Because of this, we suspect that Ms. Martin may also be ......"

The sheriff did not say the rest, but everyone knew that there was a very high possibility that something would happen to Ms. Martin.

Maybe in one day, there were two suspected murders, which made everyone uneasy. For the rest of the road, no one said anything more.

Alex has also been dutifully performing sadness, but there are some doubts in his heart.

Not only did he discover that Anthony's secret base had a path overlapping with the ranch, but he also noticed that it was a road leading out of town.

And, if you continue along this path, it's actually the way to the Holy City!

Is there any connection between this?

Soon after, they arrived at Anthony's secret base.

It is a small house made of discarded iron sheets...... It may be a bit far-fetched to say that the house is a pile of tin garbage from the outside, but there is a narrow compartment inside.

When Alex entered the secret base, the first thing he saw was a bear doll on a shabby table directly opposite.

However, at this time, the head of this yellow bear doll disappeared and was replaced with the head of a small child.

None other than Anthony.

Anthony's eyes were closed, his face pale, and the blood from the wound on his neck seeped into the bear doll, which seemed to have both a sense of quiet serenity and an eerie sense of horror.

When the others saw this, they either cowered in fear or covered their mouths and wanted to vomit, but Alex was very calm, even to the point of indifference.

It wasn't until he noticed Father Bronlong looking at him that Alex's expression instantly turned sad.

"Let's begin by reciting the Death Seal of God the Father for the poor people of God. Bronlong said to Alex with some sadness.

Alex nodded, and in the presence of the sheriff and the tailor of Sansey, he silently whispered the death chapter in the canon.

Although Alex seemed to be chanting seriously, Yu Guang kept looking at the scene, and there were not many things in the secret base.

The tin exterior may be a bit cluttered, but the interior is actually neat.

Because of its neatness and simplicity, Alex noticed at a glance the scarlet splashed on the four walls, as well as the large pool of blood on the ground.

Alex saw this and seemed to realize something.

After reciting the Death Rite, Alex left the secret base under the pretext of pathos and unbearableness.

He walked to the side alone and said to Angel, who was hiding on the side: "It's confirmed, this should be the first scene." ”

This means that Anthony is in his secret base, killed.

At the same time, it also shows one thing, Anthony has indeed not been to the barrier of the cage, otherwise it would not have been possible to die in the secret base.

And it's so far away from the Wall of the Cage, why would they kill Anthony?

While Alex was thinking, Angel's gaze looked to the other side: "There, it's Ms. Martin's ranch, I just went over and took a look, in that ranch, you can actually clearly see the secret base here." ”

Alex: "What do you mean?"

"I have a guess that maybe Anthony died because he saw something he shouldn't have seen, or someone he shouldn't have been. Ingres: "And Ms. Martin, maybe for the same reason, she saw what happened at the secret base on her ranch......"

Hearing Angel's speculation, how could Alex not understand what he meant. Just because he understands, he feels a chill down his spine.

The secret base and ranch are all outside the town, and there is a road to the Holy City.

Could Anthony's death be due to the sight of someone coming from the other side of the road?

And who will you be killed? And this is the way of death?

The answer is already obvious: only Raven Knight and Camelot!

Because of this answer, Alex felt a chill down his spine. According to this logic, continue to deduce, Raven Knight and Camelot may be in the ...... Alex couldn't help but look back at Gusttown.

At night, the town of Gust is as quiet as a dead city.

Those two terrifying undead, perhaps somewhere in town at the moment, were looking at them with a sinister gaze.
