after being offered to the devil

Chapter 18 Notification of Entering V

=================

Now, not only Yuri couldn't be punished anymore, even Arthur didn't know what to say.

Arthur didn't dare to look Lin Qiao directly, and lowered his head silently.

Before Lin Qiao felt something was wrong, he put his hand on Arthur's shoulder and said lightly, "Arthur, I know you are definitely not a devil."

Arthur is so stupid, so slow, he can't even speak clearly, how could he be a sinister and cunning devil?

If the devil really looked like this, the abyss would have fallen long ago.

So Lin Qiao didn't think about it at all.He leaned over: "Arthur?"

Arthur's fingers trembled slightly: "I..."

He is the devil.

Born in the abyss, a demon that feeds on death and pain.An existence that is disgusted and cursed by the gods and feared by humans.

He should have told Jojo.

Once he thought about it, Qiao Qiao would show disgust and fear because of this, and his heart would feel like being bitten by acid-eating ants, densely aching.

"I..." said Arthur with difficulty, "I am..."

Lin Qiao said firmly, "You are not."

Arthur: "?"

Yuri: "...?"

Lin Qiao touched the top of Arthur's head: "You can't talk nonsense."

Arthur: "But, I am..."

Lin Qiao interrupted him: "No, you are not."

Arthur is gone.

Lin Qiao said affectionately: "Then there is such a stupid devil like you?"

Generally speaking, demons hide among humans, and they do everything possible to conceal their identities.Even if you are exposed, you still have to quibble.

How could Arthur be so stupid as to admit it in a short time?

So, Arthur is definitely not a demon.

Lin Qiao swears, and turns his head to get back to business: "You say that the plague dance was made by demons, and there must be evidence, um... for example, there must be summoning formations, sacrifices, and the like."

For some reason, Lin Qiao always felt that Yuri was trying to bring the plague dance to the devil and the witch.

strange.

Lin Qiao expressed his conjecture: "Besides, it's not so much a curse, I think these people are more like... poisoned."

In their world, there are also people who eat mushrooms and see villains, and then dance around. If they are not treated in time, they will cause mental damage.

From the perspective of modern medicine, these people live in the same place, and the onset time is about the same. It is very likely that they have eaten some kind of food by mistake, which will lead to the same symptoms.

Yuri's eyebrows twitched, but he quickly returned to normal: "People in the village have also invited doctors."

Lin Qiao began to recall how far the world's medical level has developed.

Uh... not so much.

In memory, doctors are usually classified as witches, and their special skills are: bloodletting and enema.

No matter how you look at it, it's not reliable!

Lin Qiao had no hope for the doctor's professionalism, so he added the possibility of "poisoning" to the small book.

The Windmill is where the first instance of the plague dance occurred, and there may well be a clue.

He suggested: "Go to the windmill first."

After going around in a circle, the group left the broken house.

The sky gradually dimmed, and the wailing sound behind him was especially permeating.

Lin Qiao came to the windmill and found that the gate was locked.Knocked on the door, but no one answered.

Yuri said abruptly, "Maybe it's too late."

Only then did Lin Qiao realize that it was already night.

There were not many people in Rye Village, and it was even more silent and gloomy at night.The night wind blows, and I feel a little chilly.

He leaned closer to Arthur.

Yuri suggested: "It's better to come back tomorrow."

Lin Qiao thought about it and agreed.

……

There are no hotels in Rye Village.

However, under the sweep of the plague dance, the village is full of vacant houses, and you can settle anywhere.

Lin Qiao came to one of the empty houses, opened the door and entered.

Probably because the house has been unoccupied for a long time, and there is a decaying smell oncoming.

Unlike Dawn City, where alchemy technology is advanced, there are no kerosene lamps here, so they can only operate in the dark.

Lin Qiao searched for a while, and finally pulled out a not so broken bench, and called Arthur to sit on it.

Something was wrong with Arthur tonight, he was so quiet that he didn't make any sound.

Lin Qiao turned her head to the side, feeling uneasy: "Arthur?"

Arthur bowed his head in silence.

Lin Qiao lowered his voice: "What's wrong?"

Arthur hesitated to speak: "I..."

He shouldn't lie to Jojo.

He is the devil.

Just as he started, there was a light knock on the door.

Lin Qiao looked over: "Who is it?"

creak-

The dilapidated door was carefully pushed open, and a thin figure came in from the outside.

Moonlight falls.

Walking around, you can see a pair of beautiful red dancing shoes.

Lin Qiao: "It's you."

It was the girl who was supposed to be the Red Shoes Witch.

She bent over like a thief, with her chest in her mouth: "Thank you for your kindness, you saved me, and the God of Light will bless you."

Lin Qiao: I may not believe it when I say it, but I really don't believe in the God of Light.

The girl took two steps, holding a basket in her right hand, lifted the cloth on top, and stuffed pieces of rye bread underneath.

Holding the basket in both hands, she handed it over: "I really don't know how to repay your kindness and kindness. This is the bread I made. It looks a bit rough, but it tastes pretty good."

Lin Qiao fidgeted: "Actually, I didn't think about repaying..."

He doesn't think he's so kind.

As long as it is a person with legal awareness, he will make such a decision.

The girl took this as a refusal, she was so anxious that tears came out, and said in a trembling voice: "Please be sure to accept it!"

Having said that, Lin Qiao could only nod his head and agree, "I don't need so many, I can take two."

Rye bread, cheap and filling, is a frequent visitor on the table of the poor.Of course, the taste is not so good.

Lin Qiao had eaten it before, and the bread was so hard that he almost broke his teeth.

However, the bread the girl brought was different.

Ordinary rye bread is earthy brown, with the aroma of fermented wheat.But this piece of bread smelled a little sour. When I broke it open, the core of the bread was dark red.

The girl looked eagerly: "Please try my handicraft."

Lin Qiao was holding a small piece of bread and was about to stuff it into his mouth when he suddenly paused and thought of a question: "How do you know we're here?"

Rye Village is a medium-sized town, and it takes at least half an hour to walk from the beginning of the village to the end of the village.

The place they settled was chosen randomly. Why did the girl come to the door not long after they sat down?

Lin Qiao just asked casually, but the girl's reaction was extremely violent, and the basket she was carrying fell to the ground.

The bread scattered all over the ground and rolled away with a gurgling sound.

The girl didn't even bother to pick it up, so she turned around and ran away.

Lin Qiao subconsciously chased after him.

The girl ran stumblingly, making people think that she was about to catch up.

Lin Qiao chased after him all of a sudden, and was led to a remote corner unknowingly.

The girl seemed to be tired from running, and lay on the ground half kneeling, trembling.

Not far away, a dilapidated house stands there, and the wailing of pain and excitement can be faintly heard.

Today is the last quarter moon.

As soon as the moonlight dimmed, a dark red light appeared from below, and it seemed that sticky scarlet blood would drip down at any moment.

Lin Qiao paused.

Under the scarlet moonlight, the patients "lived" over.

The one with legs ran out while dancing, while the one without legs wriggled crazily on the ground.

But without exception, they all showed crazy smiles and made weird voices.

It's like making a sacrifice.

And the object of the sacrifice was... Lin Qiao.

……

The other side.

Arthur sat quietly where he was.

Suddenly, a bloody moon rose outside the window, and he sensed something was wrong, so he got up and walked outside.

As soon as the door was pushed open, a figure stood outside.

Yuri leaned against the door, playing with a wheat stalk between his fingers. The stalk was heavy, with full grains falling on it.

Unlike ordinary rye, this ear has a tinge of red and an oddly sour taste.

"Are you going to find Joe?" Yuri asked knowingly.

Arthur didn't answer, but when he looked at Yuri, his pupils suddenly locked, showing vertical pupils like a beast.

Yuri was amazed: "It's really interesting, a demon disguised as a human, I have lived for so many years, and I have never seen such a thing." He looked up and down, "If Joe knew your real identity, what would it be like? Reaction?"

Arthur turned a deaf ear and walked slowly over.

Yuri crushed the ears of wheat: "Devils are cruel and greedy. You pretended to be harmless and appeared by Joe's side. What do you want? His soul, or his life?"

Before he got an answer, he said to himself, "But it doesn't matter anymore, because... Joe will be completely dedicated to the goddess of fertility by me."

"Such a pure and kind soul, my god will definitely like it."

"My arrangement should have been more perfect. I didn't expect Joe to be so perceptive. If he doesn't hurry up, he might see through all the plans."

Arthur's face slowly sank, and the darkness surged behind him, forming a distorted figure.

Yuri: "Do you want to stop everything? It's useless. The only thing that can stop the goddess of abundance is—another god. And you... are just a demon who can't see the light." He mocked, "Let the abyss It’s almost time for the Lord to come.”
