The snow has stopped for a long time.

The woodlands and valleys after snow have a beauty that can never be seen in Green or New Testament.

All the scenery as far as the eye can see is covered with a layer of white frost. When the winter sun shines, everything is shiny.

Bypassing Mount Joyer, which generally blocks the north wind as a barrier, and through the window of the carriage, Sean saw from a distance behind the pine trees like black brushes, a large lake shining like jewels.

Lake Mistani, just behind Mount Rongyer, is the largest freshwater lake in the area.

This winter is still considered "warm", and the big lake has not been completely frozen. Through the thin ice layer, you can still see the blue running water below it.

In winter, the sun seems to be a bit unmotivated, reflected by the ice on the lake surface, making Lake Mistani look crystal clear and lovely.

When the horseshoes walked on the snow, they made a crisp sound.

After about two hours, they finally came out of the dense pine forest and came to an open field.

The snow on the river beach has melted partly, and the white has receded a little from the pebbles, making the stones show a lustrous color.

It can be seen from a distance that there is a brown wooden house inlaid in the pine forest in the distance, facing Lake Mistani.

Now it is a gloomy winter scene. Moonlight can imagine how refreshing it will be to look at this big lake and the mountains and clouds in the distance when everything is thawing in spring...

However, this beautiful imagination didn't last long. When the carriage finally stopped in front of the wooden house, the chilling atmosphere made Moonlight suddenly realize that they were approaching the truth of Ivan's disappearance.

When he got off the carriage, Sean frowned.

He glanced back at Olivia who was wearing the gray swan mask. She had a good heart, and the eyes under the mask were obviously a little sad——

With strong souls, they already smell something bad.

The Martyr of Truth didn't know anything about this, so he ordered the coachman John to park the carriage, and then walked towards the wooden house first.

When walking in with the martyr, Sean saw several dried fish hanging on the rack outside the house—obviously, Evan Burns had lived here before.

After being promoted from the "Clown Hermit" to the Queen-level "Eye of Annihilation" containing lightning, he borrowed the second half of his "specialized ancient book" "Thunderbird Myth" from a library with higher authority, and I plan to devote myself to understanding Thunderbird's fragments...

Sean Dickinson had been quietly waiting for the news of the return of the "Eye of Annihilation", which has been improved to a higher level...

I didn't expect to come to this step today.

Bang bang bang!

After climbing a few steps, the martyr directly knocked on the wooden door facing Lake Mistani. There was no answer to the knock on the door.

Bang bang bang!

Sean and Moonlight exchanged glances. There is no optimism.

"Colleagues in the room, I am the martyr of the truth of Junye! Since you have not responded, then I am going to enter the door!"

The martyr shouted twice into the house, and finally took hold of the brass doorknob.

His ectoplasm extended along the doorknob, and he began to check the inside of the house based on his experience—entering a quester's residence must not be the same as entering an ordinary residence. The mechanism, not to mention Evan Burns who has a solid foundation in mysticism.

After checking for a while, the martyr turned around, his voice a little dry: "The mechanism in the room seems to have stopped..."

That's never a good sign.

The martyr opened the door lock with psychic matter, and a bad smell came over his face.

The masked affairs officer turned around and saw John the coachman smoking a cigarette by the lake a hundred meters away. He finally let go of his official words: "Burns? Are you there? Burns?"

Four explorers stepped into Ivan's home.

"Martyr..." Sean finally came to the front, "The situation may not be good." He already felt something, and there was bitterness in his voice.

Sean didn't use the oath torch, but took out the flashlight in a very ordinary way, and led the team looking for Ivan step by step, through the living room and towards the room.

The floor was slightly damp, and there was not much creaking sound when stepped on it.

Walking through the living room and walking to the door, Sean pushed the door open with one hand, and blocked his nose with a handkerchief before the smell in the room came out.

"Ivan!" Sean's voice trembled a little. Through the light from the opposite window, he saw the familiar figure slumped in the chair in front of him.

The smell in the house has declared misfortune.

Several people opened their eyes wide, quickly walked across the room, and walked to Ivan's side.

After seeing the face of the corpse, Moonlight couldn't bear to turn his gaze away.

"Evan!"

The mask of the Eye of Annihilation shattered on the ground behind him. Ivan's indifferent face still maintained that indifference when he died.

The gray hair looked a little dry, and the silver-gray eyes were lifeless.

The most unbearable thing was that half of his body was scorched, and his flesh and blood had dried up.

On the table in front of him, the remnants of the Thunderbird myth were spread out in front of him, and most of the ancient books were burned like the people who read them.

The ancient books, desks, windows, and walls seemed to have been struck by lightning, leaving a dark scorching mark that spread down, like an eternally frozen shadow.

After seeing the scene in the room, the stunned martyr swallowed, and it took him a long time to break the terrible silence: "Is... an accident that happened while studying ancient books?"

Studying ancient books and analyzing heritage is a high-risk event for the death of mysteries, and the death rate is second only to missions.

The career of a mystery seeker is to use one's own life to probe the edge of mystery.

Everything in front of me seems to be repeating the scene that happened before——

Through the eyes burning with purple electricity on the Eye of Annihilation mask, Yiwen flipped through the scroll that recorded the myth of the Thunderbird, and he had reached the most critical step in comprehending ancient books...

Then, he saw a white thunderbird flapping its wings and flying from the scroll, and unrestrained energy burst out from the depths of the ancient book, exceeding the limit that the Eye of Annihilation could bear...

It was like a thunderbolt coming head-on.

"It seems so." Sean had already turned around.

Through the open door, he looked at the clearly demarcated lake view outside the door.

Thinking of the indifferent look in the scarf, I just feel empty in my heart.

·

The news of Ivan's death hit Sean's team hard.

Neither of them spoke when they left the room.

Sean kept looking at the lake, Olivia stood behind him, and Moonlight sat on a rock.

They didn't expect such an ending to come.

While Sean and the others were silent ~lightnovelpub.net~ the martyr notified Jungyer's penitentiary. Two hours later, two carriages arrived here to take pictures and collect evidence at the death scene.

After working for half a day, the sun passed overhead, and the martyr and the correctional officer planned to return to the town with the corpse.

"Shall we go back together?" The martyr walked up to Sean who had been quietly looking at the lake.

Sea of ​​Shimmer did not look back.

The frozen lake faced the turbulent sea water on his mask.

"I want to stay here.

"Can we have two horses?"

The martyr could understand Xiao En's mood at the moment, and without saying anything, he untied the two horses from the two carriages, and left quietly with the corpse.

There was a wind blowing from Lake Mistani, blowing past Olivia's ears, her hair fluttering like a sigh.
