Chapter 1705: Pigeon One Day

Fishman Festival, the fish are off celebrating, requesting to pigeon one day (absolutely not because inspiration ran dry and I faked a sick note)

……a worldline that may not exist……

"Don't be afraid! I've already called, she's still safe, she's coming to find us right away!"

Looking at his younger sister wrapped in a blanket in the room, trembling with fear, the boy who had just returned from making a call clenched his small fist, then comforted her with a face full of determination:

"Dad and I are both in the inn, we'll both protect you!"

"But… but there are so many of them……"

After hearing the little boy's words, the little girl wearing a white dress crawled out from under the covers, biting her lip and saying timidly:

"Those townspeople with horns on their heads, they look so scary, and every single one is so tall and burly, their wrists are several circles thicker than both our legs combined, and they worship some Great Demon…… wuu……"

As she spoke, tears suddenly welled up in the corners of the little girl's eyes, and she said with a sobbing voice:

"It's all my fault! If I hadn't wanted to see the rapeseed flower fields, Dad wouldn't have rented a carriage to bring us to this town, if we hadn't come to this town, we wouldn't have been targeted by those bad people…… wuu…… if…… if they really come to catch us, to offer us to the demon……"

"Rest assured, you don't need to be afraid!"

Although he himself was scared enough that his face had turned a bit pale, the little boy still pressed his lips tight and comforted his crying sister in a gentle voice:

"Big brother is here with you, Dad and them will be back in a bit, you…… you don't be afraid…… nothing bad will happen for sure……"

"Clang!"

The boy's words weren't finished when a stone the size of a fist was thrown at the window by someone, scaring the little girl into a shriek, and upon hearing the scream from inside the room, the townspeople who had lit a huge bonfire in the middle of the street couldn't help but howl even more unscrupulously.

Amidst the townspeople's maniacal laughter, the bonfire's faintly crimson flames splashed in all directions, stretching and making the shadows of figures brandishing sharp weapons and dancing wildly howling jump and flicker, reflected on the room's window,

And just as the two children inside the room huddled together in panic, faces pale, wanting to hide away from the window where ghostly shadows danced chaotically, in the inn's empty corridor, two rapid and disordered footsteps suddenly sounded, getting closer…… and closer…… finally stopping neatly side by side at the door!

"Ah!!!" x2

"Sorry."

Looking at the children screaming and hugging each other on the big bed, the man holding a new model cordless phone, with a hint of weariness on his face, couldn't help but take the initiative to apologize with eyes full of remorse:

"Dad just suddenly got a job, didn't have time to look after you guys, your uncle is busy too……"

"No! Now is not the time to talk about this!"

Looking at Dad and Uncle who appeared at the door, the little boy who was still shaken took a deep breath, then flipped off the bed, took out the stick he had picked up from under the bed, and said with a deathly pale little face:

"I found a weapon in the kitchen! One each for us, Aunt is coming right away too…… Dad! Those people on the street are all the demon's believers, this town is too dangerous, we must escape immediately!"

"……"

"Dad?"

"Ah? Oh oh!"

Taking the small rolling pin coated in flour, trying a few practice swings in the air, Li Ang couldn't help but open his mouth, exchange a glance with William beside him who had an "I told you not to hide it" expression, then replied with his cheeks twitching:

"You're right, this town with a demon is really too dangerous, our whole family must escape! Escape right now!"
