"You might as well eat it yourself." Lu Qing said in disgust.
It's a shame that the other party could think of letting others eat such corrupted rotten meat. Even ordinary meat can cause diarrhea, let alone meat related to evil spirits.
And, if the bakery owner wasn't lying, it was human flesh.
"I can't help it, I don't want to force you!"
Seeing Lu Qing's dissatisfaction, the bakery owner said excitedly.
He is afraid of death. If he doesn't have to die, he will admit it even if he goes to jail. But the bakery owner doesn't think that a mere prison can keep out evil spirits.
"Okay, no need to say any more, let's go to the bakery and take a look at the lump of meat in your mouth." The priest interrupted the two of them.
After hearing what the priest said, the bakery owner said:
"The piece of meat is in my room. It makes no noise and always exudes a fishy smell."
"I can take you there, but can you please let me go? I don't want the townspeople to see me tied up."
"You shouldn't be trying to escape, right?" Lu Qing looked at the bakery owner suspiciously.
Hearing Lu Qing's words, the other party laughed twice and said: "How is that possible? My hand is still hurting. Give me ten courages and I wouldn't dare to run."
Lu Qing touched the dagger at her waist and looked at the priest.
After seeing the priest shaking his head, Lu Qing turned to the bakery owner and said, "Don't think about it, we know where your home is anyway, we can just go there ourselves."
The bakery owner's home is right next to the bakery. Almost everyone in the town knows this. This was what the people next to Lu Qing told him when he went to buy bread.
"No, no, don't leave me here alone, I can be tied up!"
The bakery owner was immediately anxious. He didn't want to be locked up in the church. If Anna came here at this time, he would be dead.
It was better to be with the priest and Lu Qing than to be alone.
Oh, that’s not right, there are also John and another believer in the church, as well as the young man who is still resting.
In short, the bakery owner wanted to stay with the priest and Lu Qing to give himself a certain sense of security.
And to be honest, he has had an ominous premonition ever since the young man came back.
This made him very anxious, otherwise he would not have come to the church to assassinate the young man with a knife.
"Take him with you. There's no reason why that meatball is following him. It's not certain that you'll find anything by taking him with you." The old priest said at this time.
"All right."
Lu Qing glanced at the bakery owner, grabbed the bakery owner's rope with her hands, and followed the priest out of the church.
The three of them walked towards the location of the bakery, bypassing the square where Anna was burned to death.
Along the way, the townspeople looked surprised after seeing the bakery owner being tied up.
Especially the old priest next to him made the townspeople suspect that the bakery owner had done something bad.
"Everyone, please give in. What we are going to do next is very dangerous, so please don't all come close to us."
The priest looked behind him at the townspeople who had followed him out of curiosity, frowned, turned around and said.
The older generation of people in the town knew something about the old priest. After hearing what the old priest said, they could only suppress their curiosity and pull the young people next to them to leave together.
"Come on, don't disturb the old priest. Maybe they are dealing with the fog outside the town?"
"Since the old priest said it's dangerous, then leave quickly. We don't have the skills of believers of the God of Light."
The young people were dragged away by the older generation. Some who were unwilling to leave also left after hearing that it was related to the fog outside the town.
After all, the survivors of today's expedition had just returned and looked haggard. They didn't want to become like that survivor.
When everyone was almost gone, the priest turned around and continued walking with the two towards their destination.
After walking for about five or six minutes, the group finally arrived in front of the bakery owner's house.
This is a very ordinary wooden house, except that it is a little larger, there is nothing different about it.
Well, this is Lu Qing's own feeling, but just from the size of the house, it can be seen that the bakery owner is indeed much richer than the average town citizen.
As soon as he reached the door, the priest stopped with a serious look on his face.
He stretched out his hand to signal Lu Qing to stay here, while he drew out his mithril sword and carefully opened the door.
A strong stench came from the room through the crack of the opened door. Lu Qing's expression changed and she almost vomited on the spot.
This smell was very familiar to her and impressed her deeply. It was exactly the same as the smell she had smelled in the town square.
However, the smell coming from the bakery owner's home is stronger than the smell in the square!
Seeing the old priest walking into the room with his mithril sword expressionless, Lu Qing couldn't help but feel admiration in her heart.
Looking at the bakery owner next to me, I saw that the bakery owner's face was pale, and he obviously couldn't stand the unpleasant smell.
"Don't you often hang out with this lump of meat? Why can't you stand the smell?" Lu Qing asked.
"No, it didn't stink so bad before." The bakery owner said with an ugly look on his face.
"Ahhhh!!"
As soon as the bakery owner finished speaking, a scream suddenly sounded in the room.
The moment he heard the screams, the bakery owner's legs softened and he fell to his knees directly on the ground.
"It's Anna! It's her! I remember this scream. I can always dream about her these days!"
"Yes, that's right, that was Anna's scream when she was burned!"
"dream?"
Lu Qing looked at the man in front of her who was too scared to walk, pulled out the mithril dagger from her waist, and asked:
"What did you dream about?"
"me......."
Before he finished speaking, there was only a soft sound. The priest opened the door and ran out of the room. He looked at Lu Qing and said:
"Everyone stand back!"
Not daring to hesitate, Lu Qing grabbed the bakery owner on the ground and ran back. The next moment, a ball of rapidly squirming meat rolled out of the room.
The moment he saw the piece of meat, the sign in Lu Qing's mind suddenly shook, and a line of words appeared on it:
[Secondary Objective: Find out the origin of the raw meat in the bread (Complete!)]
After a quick glance at the notice board, Lu Qing turned her attention back when she discovered that there was only this piece of information.
At this moment, the priest was seen holding a mithril sword and fighting fiercely with the meat ball.
The meat ball kept squirming, and pieces of meat flew out of the body, turning into spikes and stabbing at the old priest, while at the same time letting out waves of strange murmurs.
Lu Qing accidentally listened carefully for a while, and suddenly felt her head hurt, and quickly turned her attention to the priest.
I saw the mithril sword in the priest's hand swinging continuously, striking the meatball's body cleanly and neatly. Each sword made a "chichi" sound like a hot knife cutting butter.
Black-gray gas spurted from the wound.
Seizing the right opportunity, the priest flicked his left hand, and a bottle of light golden liquid was sprinkled on the meat ball.
Anna's pitiful screams sounded from the monster's body again. The priest took this opportunity and split the meat ball in half with one sword!
