~10 min read 1,807 words

Liu Liu Jinghui is actually not someone who can be called over just by calling. Of course, Jiang Yuan invited him, and he still rushed over quickly.

The Alphard picked up Liu Liu Jinghui directly from Changyang City to Zouma Road Police Station. Everyone met in the courtyard of the police station, and the atmosphere was very rural for a while.

Huang Huang Qiangmin shook hands with Liu Liu Jinghui with a smile, Liu Liu Jinghui was full of suspicion, and asked directly "Jiang Yuan was demoted?"

"No." A group of young people surrounded Ava, singing and dancing to the outside of Lu Mian's house. Guillaume, the little one of the Berry family, walked to the door and clapped his hands on the big door.

He is a friend of Lu Mian, Raymond and Ava, with slightly curly brown hair, obvious freckles on his face, and blue eyes smaller than normal people, as if he is always squinting.

With a creak, Aurore appeared in front of them. She rolled up her blonde hair, wore a quite formal ruffled light-colored stand-up collar dress, the whole person was full of energy, and the brilliance flowed on her face, completely unable to see the fatigue of having been on duty for most of the night last night and not sleeping in the morning.

Ava wore a laurel crown woven from branches and flowers, stepped forward and sang

"I am the elf of spring

"The face is approachable and beautiful

"..."

"Sing, dance

"Only in this way can we get a harvest..." Aurore listened quietly, took the leaves, and handed the small ceramic jar containing animal fat to Ava.

"Harvest! Harvest!" Those young people cheered.

When the "Spring Elf" patrol team set off to the next place, Guillaume, the little one of the Berry family, deliberately fell to the end and asked Aurore

"What about Lu Mian? Haven't seen him these two days, is he not participating in the Lent festival?" Aurore smiled and said

"He is sick."

"Sick?" Guillaume, the little one, was slightly surprised,

"Will he be sick too?" In his impression, Lu Mian is always full of energy, at most he will fall and rub when playing pranks, and suffer some minor injuries.

"If he won't be sick, I will be afraid instead." Aurore responded in a joking way,

"Humans will be sick." Seeing

The "Spring Elf" patrol team is getting further and further away, Guillaume, the little one, hurriedly waved to Aurore

"Tell Lu Mian, after Lent, I will come to visit him!" Aurore nodded gently, watching Guillaume, the little one, fly towards the patrol team that had stopped in front of the next building.

"How is it?" Lu Mian poked his head out beside his sister. Aurore thought for a while and said

"They are still very normal now, but I don't know what they will become when the festival ends." Thinking of the bloody scene where Ava's head was cut off at the end of the festival, thinking that the young people in the patrol team were stimulated by some strange atmosphere and things that happened at that time, either entering a state of madness, sending off

"Spring Elf" left, or both body and mind completely collapsed, paralyzed on the ground, Lu Mian felt that no one could be spared.

He looked silently at Ava singing at the neighbor's door and Guillaume, the little one, and others who surrounded her, and slowly withdrew his gaze.

Ryan, Leah and Valentine also came to the first floor and looked outside through the window.

"We must pay special attention next." Wait

"Spring Elf" patrol team left this area, Ryan said in a deep voice. Aurore nodded and said

"Good." Taking advantage of the festival not yet over, they quickly prepared lunch and filled their stomachs. When, when, when, the classical wall clock on the first floor rang the sound representing twelve o'clock at noon.

Lu Mian and others who had tidied up the restaurant looked at each other, and they couldn't help but tighten the string in their minds.

If the Lent festival goes smoothly, it should be over by now. And send

"Spring Elf" left, if the ceremony is really completed thoroughly, I don't know what the Cordu village will become.

Because it is a semi-underground building, Lu Mian needs to lift his head slightly to see the situation outside the window. The sky is blue, the clouds are white, the sun is bright, and there are no dark clouds, fog and dim light as he imagined.

Leah walked back and forth near the stove, and the small silver bells on her veil and boots kept making ding-dong sounds, not fierce, nor slow.

Seeing Aurore looking at herself, she opened her mouth to interpret

"We are already in danger, and it is a long-term danger, but currently it belongs to a degree that can be dealt with." Aurore

Said "Hmm", and didn't ask much. Ryan, on the other hand, sighed gently

"Before the twelfth night, if it has only been this degree, it would be good." Aurore blinked, embarrassed to

"Mechanical Heart"

"Dawn Knight" said don't say similar words, this is easy to bring the opposite effect. Although Lu Mian was heavy in heart, he still smiled on the surface and replied to Ryan

"We have a proverb in the Dalie region, 'Good and bad luck are all determined by fate, everything is destined early', no matter how worried we are, we can't change the things that follow." What he didn't say was that the only thing he could do was to summon the courage to face it.

In the intermittent conversation, the five people were vigilant about the changes that might come, but no matter the weather or the birds, they were all normal enough to make them afraid.

After nearly half an hour, they cast their eyes to the door at the same time. Footsteps were approaching. Not long after, the doorbell of Aurore's house was pulled, and the ding-dong sound echoed throughout the first floor.

After looking at each other with his sister, Lu Mian walked to the door cautiously and looked outside through the cat's eye.

The person pulling the doorbell was a man, their neighbor, Louis Bedek.

"Is there anything?" Lu Mian opened the door and asked, with a smile on his face. Louis Bedek had black hair and blue eyes, in his forties, and was injured when harvesting wheat in the field when he was young. His left hand only had three fingers left.

He wore a gray-blue short jacket and dark trousers, and said timidly

"I want to borrow your oven. It's Lent, I have to bake some fresh bread for the children." Bing search: Ze\Ri`Xiao`Shuo\Net,,.

While talking, he raised the flour bag and kicked the bag of inferior coal placed beside him.

Lu Mian hesitated for a while and looked back at Aurore. Aurore nodded to signal him to let Louis Bedek in.

She had just discussed with Ryan and others in a low voice, intending to observe at close range what changes the villagers who had finished the Lent festival had.

"Just baking bread? I thought you would make some smoked meat for your children." Lu Mian gave way and teased Louis Bedek with a smile.

Louis Bedek answered cautiously

"If there is a harvest this year, I should make a lot of smoked meat." His eyes were full of expectation, as if he felt that the harvest was bound to come.

After entering the door, Louis Bedek greeted Aurore and walked towards the oven, busy by himself.

Lu Mian and others felt more and more weird the more they observed. Louis Bedek didn't even look at Ryan, Leah and Valentine, as if they didn't exist at all!

This is like a person who has become a monster trying to pretend that he is normal, but as long as he encounters things beyond the original memory, they will show obvious abnormalities, or ignore them directly.

Lu Mian instantly recalled the copy priest Michel Galigu. He looked okay at the beginning, but recently, only daily behaviors like eating and sleeping and the desire to let people pray remained, and everything else was ignored!

Under the gaze of the three outsiders, Louis Bedek baked bread like a set machine, chatting with Lu Mian and Aurore from time to time.

This is very normal, this is very abnormal. After Louis Bedek left with the baked bread, Aurore looked at Ryan and others and smiled bitterly

"People who have finished the Lent festival should have become like this."

"It's like being replaced by a monster bit by bit." Leah sighed sincerely. She didn't deliberately maintain the smile on her face again.

Lu Mian had adjusted his mentality and raised a question

"If such people want to be saved, how to save them?"

"The only thing I can think of is 'purification'." Valentine replied with a sigh,

"But if the abnormality has been closely combined with human beings themselves, the final result may be purified together." Just then, two more villagers passed by the window.

One of them is a regular customer of the old tavern, Pierre Guillaume, who has rubbed Ryan's bitter ale in the last and last cycle.

He was chatting with his companion, laughing very happily, as if discussing the liveliness of the Lent festival.

When passing by Lu Mian's door, they looked at the house side by side, their expressions were extremely gloomy.

Only looked for a second, they withdrew their gaze, their faces were piled with smiles again, and continued the topic just now.

If it weren't for Lu Mian and others observing the outside when someone passed by, they wouldn't have discovered the change in expression in that short moment.

The more obvious the laughter from outside, the more depressed they felt. Silence replaced the discussion. After a while, after the two villagers moved away, Aurore sighed and said

"This is no longer being replaced by a monster bit by bit. I suspect that the whole village, except us, are monsters wearing human skin." Is this the complete Lent festival?

Lu Mian couldn't control himself and muttered silently. Ryan reminded solemnly

"It will be harder to endure day by day, everyone hold on." From noon to night, they were on guard against the alien villagers attacking this house, but except for someone passing by occasionally, looking at the inside with gloomy or cold expressions, nothing happened.

This brought great pressure to Aurore and others. Ryan looked around and said gently

"There are still several days until the twelfth night, don't be so tense.

"After dinner, we will divide into two groups to take turns to rest, we must maintain a good mental state." With such an experienced and calm powerful extraordinary person to arrange, no matter Aurore,
