"How do you feel?" the priest asked, looking at the young man lying on the bed.
“I feel much more comfortable. It feels so good to be back in a small town...”
When the young man saw the priest coming in, he quickly put the vegetable soup aside, looking a little tired.
However, after a period of rest and eating some warm food, he felt much better.
After hesitating for a moment, the old priest looked at the young man's condition and asked the question he wanted to know.
"What did you see in the fog?"
"..."
After a moment of silence, the young man opened his mouth and said:
"We didn't see anything at first, only the vast fog. And for some reason, we got lost in the fog. No matter how we walked, we couldn't find the way back."
"Even if we leave a mark, it's the same. The way back is shrouded in fog. Fortunately, there are many wild beasts and wild vegetables in the forest. Plus the food we brought with us when we left, we won't be hungry."
"The accident happened ten days ago at night..."
Based on the young man's description, Lu Qing and the priest gradually understood what happened that night.
It was the fourth day that the expedition team entered the fog. As usual, the way back was covered by the fog. Even if we walked back, we could not find the original marks.
Therefore, everyone in the expedition team could only find a place that was more suitable for resting and prepare to light a fire to rest.
However, before the bonfire was even raised, an uninvited guest appeared in their sight.
The other party was shrouded in fog, unable to see his face clearly, and there was no response when talking to him.
The young man looked horrified and spoke with a trembling voice what happened next.
"The man shrouded in fog killed every member of the expedition. I saw with my own eyes that Burr's body was torn in half and fell to the ground..."
"I was so scared that I ran away. I don't know why, but that person didn't chase me."
"When I looked back, I only saw him standing there. I could feel that behind the fog, he was staring at me with his eyes."
The young man's face became even paler, and cold sweat broke out on his body unconsciously.
"I don't know how I came out of the fog. I ran for a long time, and then I kept moving. I didn't dare to light a fire at night, for fear of attracting that person."
"Relying on wild vegetables and mushrooms in the forest, I survived, kept moving forward, and miraculously found the marks we left before, and I didn't come back until yesterday."
"Um......."
After listening to the young man's words, the priest and Lu Qing both fell silent.
After a while, the priest patted the young man on the shoulder and said:
"Since you are back, take a good rest here. The God of Light will bless you."
As he said that, the priest looked at Lu Qing and motioned for the two of them to go out first.
"It seems that there are no clues. I only found a person who was covered in fog and killed people." Lu Qing thought in his heart.
"Ask the bakery owner." Lu Qing looked at the priest and said.
"Okay." The priest said.
The bakery owner obviously knew something. He was still locked in the room and could not hear what the young man said.
Although I don’t know what the bakery owner knew and why he wanted to kill the young man who came back from the fog.
But since the other party knows something, they can't let go of this clue.
The two returned to the closed door of the bakery owner's room, pushed the door open, and the bakery owner, who was tied tightly with a rope, reappeared in front of them.
Before asking, the bakery owner who saw Lu Qing and the priest coming back was the first to cry:
"Save me, please save me, Anna, Anna's ghost is coming to see me!"
Looking at the frightened man in front of him, Lu Qing couldn't help but take a step back, frowned and said:
"Anna, why Anna?"
"The informants are all dead. It must be Anna. Yes, it's Anna. She has found me. Everyone else is dead and I am the only one left. No, I don't want to die!"
The bakery owner spoke incoherently, as if he wanted to release all the emotions accumulated in his heart.
"Are all the informants dead?"
Although what the bakery owner said was a bit confusing, judging from the clues he had received before, Anna was still the "informer".
The informant here probably refers to the person who told the knight that Anna was abnormal in the town.
The bakery owner should be one of them, and everyone else is dead...
"You mean those members of the expedition who died?"
"Is it possible that the reason why that young man was not killed was because he was not an informer?"
Lu Qing thought about the message in the bakery owner's words, and the priest beside her had already taken action without her having to speak.
The priest looked at the middle-aged man in front of him with a serious expression and snorted coldly:
"Huh, no matter what, you did something like that. You should reflect on it in prison later."
"No! Don't put me in jail, Anna will kill me!" the bakery owner said with a frightened expression.
"It wasn't me who killed that night, it was Anna!"
"She took control of my body!"
Well, it seems that things are generally clear.
If what the bakery owner said is true, then the person who entered the fog and killed the expedition team that day was the bakery owner.
However, the bakery owner didn't know that his body was covered by a layer of fog.
And it was precisely because he knew that the innkeeper's son was not dead that he was afraid that the other party would wake up and tell him about his murder.
As for whether it was Anna who controlled his body to kill people, I don't know. As for the informants mentioned by the bakery owner, they are all dead.
"But, does this have anything to do with my dream goal?"
Lu Qing thought so and asked:
"What happened to the raw meat in the bread a few days ago?"
After some venting, the bakery owner sobered up a bit. When he heard Lu Qing’s question, he answered honestly:
"That was what the corpses of those expedition members turned into after I was controlled to kill someone. They squirmed together, followed me, and slipped into my home at night."
"My body was manipulated and I saw with my own eyes those disgusting lumps of flesh gathering in my room."
"No matter how many times I throw them away or even burn them to ashes, these damn pieces of meat will come back to my room the next night."
"And among the many times I tried it, I thought about whether the raw meat could be mixed with bread. Maybe it would not come back after being swallowed."
"Anyway, I will turn him into mincemeat. Even if it has a strange taste, those poor people who can only eat bread will eat the bread."
"But I didn't expect that the minced meat would actually gather together in the bread. In the end, it was discovered by the poor people and no one ate it."
"Even if it was fed to stray dogs, they wouldn't even take a bite of the stinky meat, so in the end I gave up the idea of letting the creatures eat the meat."
