[Introduction: This is a drop of turbid tears covered with dirt. For some unknown reason, the tears were frozen at the moment when they were filthy. 】
[Skill: Unknown]
[Note: What will be left for those who have abandoned their humanity and conscience? 】
"This is......"
Lu Qing swung her dagger and dug out the tears buried in the black ash residue.
"Well, it really stinks."
Holding her nose with one hand, Lu Qing squatted down and picked up the solidified gray tear with her other hand.
She ran down from the debris pile in three steps and two steps. She felt that the soles of her shoes were not very clean, and after rubbing them on the ground again, she took out the tears she had just found in the debris and looked at them carefully.
Wiping off the stains on it with her fingers, Lu Qing lifted the teardrop and raised it to an angle where the sun could easily shine.
The bright white luster is reflected on the surface of the tears, and inside the clear tears, a drop of turbid blackness spreads out as if it is about to spread.
"You can't tell anything from the outside."
She shed her tears with some disappointment. Although she was 100% sure that this was an important item, judging from the clues she had now, it was obvious that it had not yet come into play.
Putting the tears carefully into the leather bag on her waist, Lu Qing clapped her hands and prepared to leave.
"Hey, little girl over there, you can't go there!"
An unfamiliar voice came from behind. Lu Qing turned around and found that the person speaking to him was a middle-aged man with scars on his face.
The opponent is very tall, and his strong muscles can be felt even through his clothes. The refined leather jacket and scars on his face give the opponent an aura that is not easy to mess with.
Lu Qing was startled by his appearance and quickly left the square obediently and came to the middle-aged man.
"call."
After seeing Lu Qing come out obediently, the other party also breathed a sigh of relief, and the muscles in his body relaxed a lot at this moment.
However, the next moment, he straightened his face again and said seriously:
"Which family are you a child from? Haven't you ever heard your parents say you can't go there?"
"Forehead."
Hearing what the other party said, Lu Qing was startled, and then quickly reacted:
"No, no, I just came to this town from other places. I didn't know that I was not allowed to leave there..."
"Foreign?"
The man looked at the girl in front of him carefully for a while, with a look of surprise on his face.
He had seen someone walking in the square before, and he was so anxious that he noticed the girl's appearance now.
Judging from the thin skin and tender flesh of the other party, he is not a resident of the small town at all. You must know that girls in small towns have to work since they were young, and their arms and legs cannot be so thin.
Moreover, the other party's clothes didn't look like cheap goods. At least, from the perspective of an old hunter like him, the leather on the girl's body was genuine high-end goods.
"Huh, anyway, just leave. Be careful not to leave in that square next time. It's very dangerous."
After hesitating for a moment, the middle-aged man said:
"Be careful in the past two days. Although nothing seems to have happened now, something may happen in the future."
[The middle-aged man in front of me seemed to be recalling something when he was talking. If you ask carefully, you might be able to get some clues...]
The notebook recorded the incident again, and even if the notebook didn't say anything, Lu Qing would have asked about it.
This was not just a matter of curiosity. In fact, Lu Qing always felt that this might be related to the prop she had just obtained.
"Has anything happened there before?" Lu Qing asked.
"You want to know?" the other party asked.
"Yeah." Lu Qing nodded.
Looking at Lu Qing's appearance, the middle-aged man hesitated for a while and said:
"Since you want to know, it's okay to tell you. After all, there is thick fog outside now, and I can't leave the town to go hunting. If you want to hear it, just come with me."
"Hunting, uncle, are you a hunter?" Lu Qing asked, following behind him.
"Well, I am a hunter in the town. I usually sell some leather or beast meat. Unfortunately, the fog outside has blocked the entire town. I'm afraid I won't be able to go out until the fog is resolved.
.”
The hunter nodded.
"Then where are we going now?" Lu Qing asked.
"church."
"church?"
Lu Qing was stunned for a moment. She suddenly remembered what the blacksmith said to her. She looked up at the sky and said doubtfully:
“Don’t collective prayers have to wait until night?”
"I didn't participate in collective prayers in the past, um, but if you want to, you can try it. It will be somewhat effective, especially if you have just been to that square." The hunter walked in front and said.
"Is that square really that scary?" Lu Qing asked.
After the hunter saw her, he emphasized this square more than once, making it seem as if she might be in danger at any time...
"Danger, it should be very dangerous. Let me tell you, that square was not like that before."
There was a trace of memory in the hunter's eyes, and he said:
"That square used to be a place for small town residents to hold banquets during festivals. The reason why it became like that starts from what happened three years ago."
"Among the children in the small town at that time, there was a little girl named Anna. She was lively, cute, and very bold, and she was very curious about everything..."
Hearing the word Anna, Lu Qing's attention immediately focused. She would not forget what happened just now. The teardrop she found in the pile of debris had very clear words written on it.
The name of tears is [Anna’s Heart]!
"In fact, we adults are not very clear about the specific details of the matter. We only remember that one time, Anna took several of her friends out to play. However, when they came back, their personalities had undergone huge changes."
The hunter continued talking, and soon, before arriving at the church, Lu Qing already knew what happened three years ago.
Not long after the children came back, several of them committed suicide one after another, and Anna, the only one alive, also went crazy sometimes and often talked nonsense.
Not long after what happened to Anna, a group of well-equipped knights came to the town, claiming that there was an evil atmosphere here.
Some residents of the town didn't want to hand over Anna, so they didn't speak for a while, but even if they didn't, someone would.
But in just one hour, the knights got accurate information, rushed directly into Anna's home, and subdued Anna.
But soon, the knights discovered that it was impossible to kill Anna with cold weapons, even with weapons filled with holy water.
So, they held a ceremony and burned Anna alive, leaving the residue behind.
The residents of the town have tried to clean it up, but every time they clean it up, inexplicable and strange things happen. In addition, the smell there is really unbearable, and over time, there is no one left.
