Outside the window, the sun was gradually setting.

Mr. Panza, who went out to search for his teacher, has not returned.

The Martyr of Truth already felt that the atmosphere in his office was a little frozen.

The martyr clasped his hands, his mouth was a little dry, but he still swallowed, quietly waiting for the high-level explorer to speak.

After a while, Sean looked at the mysterious practitioner of Jungyer in front of him—he didn't show an aggressive attitude, let alone used any coercion, but said in a deep voice: "Mr. Martyr, you now know our attitude.

"We are now very suspicious that there are more unknown secrets behind the death of teammates."

The martyr said sincerely: "I understand. I am also very pleased that you are willing to pursue Burns' death. I will provide all possible help."

On Sean's mask, the tide was calm and surging: "Very good."

"Then, I would like to ask you about the strange scene I saw in this town last night..."

Before Xiao En could speak, the light of astonishment flashed in the martyr's eyes: "You, did you see that?"

Well, it seems that there is no intention to hide it. Sean clasped his hands and leaned back, waiting for the martyr's explanation.

"Oh... so you saw it," the martyr straightened up a little embarrassed, "I originally thought that one thing more is worse than one thing less, so I didn't tell you in advance...

"Last night was a special festival in this town..."

Moonlight was a little annoyed at the understatement of the martyrs, and he took a step forward: "I've never seen any festival where all participants were made to eat raw meat!"

The martyr lowered his hands and nodded again and again: "I understand... seeing such a scene suddenly, you must have doubts..."

Unable to see the expression under the mask of blood and tears of the martyr, he clasped his hands and said softly: "However, I am very grateful to you. After seeing such a scene, I didn't directly destroy last night's ceremony...

"I'm afraid that will cause a lot of right and wrong, and cause a lot of misunderstandings..."

Sean spread a hand. "It's going to be misleading indeed—if you keep evasive."

"Excuse me, sir, I was just about to explain to you." The martyr took a light breath, as if gathering energy for his narration.

"The scene you saw last night is indeed a special festival that has lasted for more than sixty years in Rongyer."

The martyr stood up, speaking softly and calmly: "Jungyer, a small town, was established in 1860. In that year, the first wooden house was built...

"However, before that, it was an uninhabited forest, with no conditions for people to live in.

"Sixty-five years ago, the lure of owning private land led people to form a 'Northern Expedition Brigade' of 60 people, who continued northward on the northern border of that year to open up new homes..."

"The immigrant team composed of horses and caravans encountered many difficulties and obstacles along the way..."

The martyr stood at the window and watched the last rays of the sun sink into the pine forest.

"However, all the difficulties were not as good as the challenges they encountered in the end..."

The explorer of Jungyer turned his head and continued: "That year, perhaps God intended to challenge the enterprising people, and they encountered a huge snowstorm head-on when they marched north.

"In order to arrive as soon as possible, they continued on their way in the snowstorm, but unfortunately got lost in the forest—

"In fact, the place where they got lost is not far from the current Jungyer. However, considering the completely unfamiliar environment they were in at the time, it is understandable that such a thing happened."

"In short, a group of sixty people were trapped in the forest. The wind and snow did not stop. In order to survive, they had to set up a camp in the forest."

"The food we carry is quickly exhausted.

"Cold and hunger began to test them..."

When the story came to this point, Sean seemed to suddenly remember something.

He sat up straight suddenly, and the filing cabinet of Shengen Space naturally sent several reports to him—

He immediately confirmed his feeling of déjà vu: when he was studying the New York News, he had read about the tragedy that this northern brigade suffered!

Although the memory was awakened, he remained silent and continued to listen to the martyrs who were the local residents.

"Story..." Scratching the curly hair above his temples with his stubby fingers, the martyr's tone was slightly hesitant, "The story diverges from here."

"Branch?" Yueguang, who had never heard of the tragedy of the Northern Expedition Brigade, asked with squinted eyes.

The martyr nodded and explained: "People outside, and the survivors who experienced the tragedy, have two different versions of the same thing."

"What happened?" Thinking of the sound of people chewing raw meat that night, Moonlight could vaguely guess what happened in the forest 65 years ago.

But curiosity still made him unable to resist asking.

The martyr was silent for a moment, and let out a soft breath: "People have eaten up all the food, but they still haven't been able to wait for rescue..."

He didn't seem to know how to express those things, so he had to change the expression: "In short, about a month later, the rescue team found them who were lost.

"The team of sixty people has been reduced to twenty...

"When the rescue team found the survivors, they found traces of cannibalism in the camp."

Sean's eyes were hidden under the mask of Sea of ​​Shimmer, quietly staring at the narrator in front of him.

Moonlight couldn't help taking a breath.

After a pause, he continued: "After the news of the cannibalism of the Northern Expedition Brigade spread to the outside world, public opinion was in an uproar.

"Many people speculated that in the closed snow forest, someone killed his companions in order to fill his stomach.

"This also casts a shadow over the survivors who were originally sympathetic~lightnovelpub.net~ However," the martyr raised a finger, "it is worth mentioning that the twenty or so survivors But he doesn't consider himself guilty.

"They claimed that the reason for eating human flesh was not their intention, but because they were influenced by some kind of supernatural existence."

"Supernatural existence?" Sean hadn't heard this part of the story, so he turned his head slightly.

"Yes." The eyes of the martyrs became far-reaching, "They said that there was a strange existence lurking in the forest, which affected their spirits and turned them into bloodthirsty monsters.

"It was in that situation that they swallowed the flesh and blood of their companions.

The eyes of the martyr looked straight at Xiao En: "And the name of that terrible existence has repeatedly appeared in the legends of the Beidi Que people, and the Beidi Que people call it——

"Wendigo."
