There is no bustling feasting and bustling traffic in modern society, but only slow-moving horse-drawn carriages and slow-paced passers-by wearing medieval classical costumes.
The charming stained glass windows and pointed arches add to the sense of storytelling in the dim light.
On the bluestone floor with a sense of age, there are scattered fallen leaves that have fallen from nowhere.
At the end of the street, there is a colorful candy house. The candy house is probably the busiest place on the street. At this moment, the candy house is surrounded by people, and everyone is queuing up to buy candies.
Bai Youyou was also lining up behind the candy house.
This time, her mission is to survive three days on Halloween night. Although the system does not give any prompts, it can be seen from the mission name that this mission should be related to Halloween, and in Western countries, Halloween represents
Ghost Festival, coupled with the cross in her hand and what the old man had just said to her, Bai Youyou could roughly guess that this place would be haunted tonight.
Although she was not afraid of ghosts, she still wanted to know more about the situation, so she went to the candy house where there were the most people, and she could also ask if there was any place to stay nearby.
But at a glance, she saw that most of the people who came to buy candies were young women, or elderly people. In short, there was not a single child around the candy house.
This is very unscientific.
Bai Youyou took note of this situation, and randomly grabbed a woman who looked very kind-hearted and asked her what interesting programs there were tonight, and said that she was traveling from other places.
The woman's attitude was unexpectedly enthusiastic: "Are you asking about tonight?"
"Of course I'll stay home tonight."
"Oh, kid, believe me. After tonight, you can play whatever you want, but not tonight. Satan is going out tonight. If you accidentally bump into Satan when you go out, he will kill you."
When she said the last sentence, the woman's face suddenly became serious.
"Is that so?" Bai Youyou showed a scared expression: "But I have spent all my money, the hotel kicked me out, and I have no place to stay tonight..."
Before she could finish her words, a fat aunt on the side interrupted their conversation: "Child, don't listen to her nonsense. The town will be very lively tonight. I think you must come out and take a look, otherwise you will
The trip would have been in vain."
After saying that, the fat aunt snorted softly and rolled her eyes at the woman: "I really don't understand why you people stay at home and don't dare to go out every year when Halloween comes. Halloween is so lively every year.
Nothing happened."
"That's because..." The woman seemed to want to say something, but she held it back for some reason. She was too lazy to pay attention to the fat aunt, and just said to Bai Youyou: "My child, believe me, it's best not to go out on Halloween.
, if you don’t have money, you can just find an abandoned villa.”
"You are still here to scaremonger, kid, listen to me, if you go out tonight, you will see a completely different world."
The fat aunt and the woman had different opinions. Of course, Bai Youyou couldn't tell who was right and who was wrong. Seeing that the two of them wanted to say something, Bai Youyou quickly changed the topic: "By the way, I see this is so
Everyone, are you here to buy candies?"
"certainly."
"Because there will be a lot of kids knocking on the door tonight."
The fat aunt showed an extremely expectant smile on her face: "They will tell you when the time comes, trick or treating, very naughty children."
The woman's face also showed a bit of anticipation: "Their favorite thing to eat is the candies from this candy house, so every Halloween, the business of this candy house will be very good."
The two people have different attitudes towards Halloween, but the strange thing is that they have deep expectations for children at the same time. In addition, there are no children on the street or around the candy house. Bai Youyou thinks that maybe what they are talking about is
There's no guarantee that the child is a ghost... Of course, this is just her guess. We won't know the details until tonight, and we'll have to take a closer look.
Not wanting to listen to their argument anymore, Bai Youyou casually chimed in and asked them if any kind of candy would be fine. The two of them answered in unison that as long as it was candy, it would be fine. But——
"This is their favorite candy store. If the candy you give them doesn't suit their taste, they may cause trouble."
"But you don't have to be afraid, they are just making trouble and won't do anything else."
Facing the topic of children, both of them seemed very interested. Seeing this, Bai Youyou asked a few more questions about children, such as when they would knock on the door at night and when they would leave, but they
The answer was the same ambiguous, saying that they would knock on the door at night and leave when they got the candy they wanted.
Seeing that she couldn't ask anything, Bai Youyou made an excuse and left. In order to find out where the danger of Halloween came from, she wandered around the whole town again.
Still didn't see a child.
Finally, she stopped next to a church. There was a huge pendulum hanging above the church. At this moment, the hour, second, and minute hands were all pointing to the five o'clock position.
There was only a clang, and it was five o'clock.
Standing at the door of the church was a staff member wearing white clothes and holding a book. Bai Youyou stepped forward and asked, "If you are in danger, can you enter the church to seek shelter?"
The staff member raised his head and glanced at her, with a compassionate smile on his face: "Our Lady of Luobin Church always welcomes your arrival."
He didn't directly answer Bai Youyou's words. Bai Youyou pursed his lips and stopped asking.
It's already five o'clock.
If she really couldn't go out at night, then she had to find a suitable place to stay. Just now she walked through the town and noticed the environment of the entire town. Most of them were villas, with only a small number of storefronts. There was a church and a
hotel.
The church was the place she passed just now, and the price of the hotel was horrifyingly expensive. One night's stay required one gold coin. Moreover, the environment of the hotel did not look good. The pattern on the floor looked very weird. What's more important was the lighting tools.
It turned out to be candles. As soon as you entered, you could see hundreds of candles in the center of the hall.
So Bai Youyou didn't want to go to the hotel.
She only needs to survive these three days, and does not need to solve the mystery!
…
Because he didn't plan to stay in a hotel, Bai Youyou planned to find an empty villa to stay in. There happened to be an abandoned villa not far from the church. The villa looked like a very poor environment, but Bai Youyou had a cleaning charm and didn't use it at all.
If you are worried about the villa being dirty and messy, a few talisman seals can make a big difference in the villa.
With this idea in mind, Bai Youyou quickly arrived in front of the villa, then opened the door and entered.
As soon as he entered, he felt a huge puff of dust blowing towards his face. Bai Youyou quickly covered his mouth and nose, walked through the yard to the main hall, and used a cleaning charm to make the whole villa look brand new.
