Sean adjusted his gaze and looked towards the square.

Dark streets, black stone monuments, black ground...

At first, Sean still thought he didn't see anything, so he frowned.

Suddenly, his brows relaxed, and his brain finally understood the scene printed in his eyes.

The square is a stone pavement, how could the ground be black?

The reason why it is black is because it is full of people wearing black robes.

Hundreds of people stood silently beside the black stele, all faces turned towards the stele...

No one spoke, not even a cough.

They are as quiet as the black fallen leaves covering the square.

This weird scene forced Sean to look back at his companion.

Moonlight's eyes were full of surprise and puzzlement.

"Is there any danger, Sean?" Sensing Sean's inner fluctuation, Olivia, who had been in the next room, opened her red eyes in the darkness.

"Temporary standby," Sean felt the breath and the feeling of his heart beating faster, "don't make a sound."

Turning his eyes to the window again, he wanted to figure out what those people in the square were doing.

Accompanied by the night wind, he heard someone in the square whispering the name on the stone tablet in a low voice:

"Martha Connelly,

"Pete Larry...

…

His voice was so soft that the night wind easily blew it away.

After the name is pronounced, people start to communicate something.

Likewise, they keep quiet while doing these things.

After a while, they crouched down and seemed to be eating something.

Sean squinted his eyes, only to realize that each of them was holding a piece of raw meat in their hands.

Hundreds of people are silently sharing the raw meat of some kind of animal in the middle of the night...

The sound of them chewing raw meat came together through the window, making the scalp numb and the roots of the teeth itchy.

Sean lowered the curtains.

He silently looked at the moonlight who also saw the scene just now.

"What shall we do?" Crouching in the darkness, Moonlight asked the vibrating card.

As the elite explorers, they can rush to the scene to question when the locals are performing strange rituals...

Sean didn't think there was an evil lurking in Junyer that they couldn't suppress.

Still, it would be foolish to act rashly without getting to the bottom of the matter.

"Continue to sleep." Sean exhaled softly.

The two returned to their respective beds.

With their keen hearing, Moonlight and Sean heard the slight footsteps of people dispersing in the square.

They even heard the sound of someone opening the front door of the tavern downstairs.

Moonlight and Sean looked at each other.

They thought of Mrs. Burger's warm smile.

The scene of that passionate face tearing raw meat with teeth in the dark flashed before my eyes.

What the **** is going on in this town?

Soon, people seemed to have finally returned to the right track, and there was no trace of the square outside the window except for a bunch of footprints.

Sean fell asleep amidst all the speculation.

Moonlight is not so pleasant.

Although the crowd had dispersed, he could still hear the sound of hundreds of people chewing raw meat at the same time, and that sound gave him nightmares.

In his dream, he saw the picture of the townspeople entering Mr. Pansha's room, abducting him, and dismembering him in the **** room...

Moonlight woke up again and again, wanting to rush out of the room to have a look.

But when he saw Sean sleeping evenly on the side, he forced himself to calm down.

"Olivia doesn't need to sleep. Sean will definitely keep her on guard all night. If someone really wants to harm us, she will definitely remind us..."

Thinking like this, he wrapped the quilt tightly in the cold night, and the soft and warm feeling before was gone.

…

When the moonlight opened his eyes again, the sun had already illuminated the linen curtains. He wasn't sure how long he'd been asleep.

Nothing happened overnight.

This made the pianist a little suspicious. The dark and quiet crowd they saw last night was just a scene they saw in their nightmares.

"Xiao, what happened last night?"

Sean brushed his teeth in the bathroom, remained silent for a while, then shook his head.

Suddenly remembering the nightmare she had about Pan Sha last night, Yueguang hurriedly put on her clothes and walked out of the room.

When he opened the door, he saw the enchanted Pansha wearing a mask, wearing a pair of plush slippers, crossing his legs, drinking coffee and reading a newspaper.

When he saw Moonlight walking out of the room, he raised his head from the newspaper, and said with a smile in his voice, "I thought you would sleep a little longer, so I didn't wake you up.

"Breakfast is on the first floor, you have to get it yourself."

Moonlight stretched her waist pretending to be relaxed.

After washing up, Sean and Moonlight went downstairs to get breakfast together.

Mrs. Berg was still smiling, and brought out coffee, toast, and fried eggs from the back kitchen...

When Sean said thank you, Moonlight couldn't help but look at Mrs. Berg's grinning teeth—

He always felt that there was still raw meat stuffed between the lady's teeth.

While eating breakfast, Moonlight broke the silence first, and he looked at Pan Sha: "Recently, I've been learning about folk customs and festivals around...

"Do you know any special customs of Joyer?"

Following Moonlight's question, although Sean and Olivia didn't look at Pansha, they obviously pricked up their ears secretly.

Pan Sha seemed to have just finished reading the newspaper, folded the "Kibek Sun" three days ago and put it in his hand, tapping his chin lightly: "Special custom?

"..." He thought for a while.

"Oh!" As if remembering something, he raised a finger: "They will hold a bonfire party before winter comes to celebrate that there is enough food for the winter!"

Moonlight, who was originally sitting upright, suddenly bent down again: "No, I mean more...special customs."

In order to be able to give Panza some hints, Sean turned around and looked out of the balcony behind him - he could see the square illuminated by the sun, and the stone tablet that cast a shadow on the square like a sundial.

Pan Sha's gaze, apparently following Xiao En's hint, turned to the stele.

He thought for a while, then shook his head.

Unable to ask anyone about that secret scene~lightnovelpub.net~ Sean and the three can only temporarily seal up this secret.

Together with Pan Sha, they came to the office of the Mystic Seekers Branch in Junyer—the investigation they wanted to conduct, involving the missing Mystery Seekers, could only be done through industry channels.

Before the wooden house engraved with the "Eye of Mystery" logo, and before finding the local businessman to obtain more information, Xiao En and Pan Sha finally decided to exchange their respective purposes for this trip—after getting along for a long time, they have basically agreed The other party is the "scarlet letter" (Note: The term of the explorer refers to the explorer who acts with justice, as opposed to the "black letter".).

Moreover, any possible help and support is indispensable for carrying out missions in this resource-poor Northland.

When he heard that the three of Sean were here to find his teammates who had lost track of him, Pan Sha blinked in obvious surprise.

"This is really weird..." He even took a step back, the soles of his leather boots creaked as they stepped on the dirty snow.

He looked at the masks of the three in turn, and then said, "I came to Rongyer this time to find someone."
