"Hufufu...this is actually a dream!"
The people who were sleeping soundly in their rooms suddenly woke up, glanced at the dark room, and wiped the sweat from their foreheads.
His heart was still beating rapidly, as if he hadn't recovered from the dream just now.
"Was it really just a dream?"
The four members of the Red Glove Team had this idea in their minds at the same time.
They didn't care to continue sleeping soundly, and hurriedly got up and contacted others.
After everyone gathered together, they were shocked to discover that the four of them had just had the same dream.
All the details in the dream, even the old man's clothes and words were exactly the same.
If they still regard this as an ordinary dream, then they are not worthy of becoming members of the Red Gloves Team.
After realizing it, they felt deep fear.
If the old man who pulled them into a dream tonight is really here to rescue them, then it means that they are falling into a huge dilemma.
Even the old man didn't know whether he was frightened away or killed in the end.
"We must save ourselves!"
This was the first consensus they reached.
"All investigations are suspended. During this period, we must be together whether we have food, accommodation or rest at night. No one can act without authorization."
"Find a way to get in touch with the church and let them know the predicament we are currently in."
"Finally, don't act rashly!"
After reaching a certain consensus, they began to write letters, preparing to send the news back to Backlund through spiritual messengers.
But when they finished writing the letter and blew the brass whistle to summon the spirit messengers, they couldn't wait for any spirit messengers to arrive.
Fear and helplessness began to spread, like the dark and lightless world outside the window.
Tonight, the light of the crimson moon did not shine on them.
They began to anxiously discuss various ways to get out of the predicament. Some said leaving Puning Port first, while others said they would create chaos and then take the opportunity to leave.
In the end, they found that they had to do nothing to gain temporary safety.
The dark night will eventually dissipate, and until the sun shines through the window, they can feel a little relieved after a sleepless night.
Chapter 306 Puppet, Sharon
It's daybreak, what can I do?
It seems that nothing can be done to change the current predicament.
The four members of the Red Glove Team looked at each other, each lost in thought.
After the sun rose a little higher, they went out to do errands as normal as yesterday to see if they could hide it from those people in the dark.
After the morning time passed, they gathered back in the hotel room and began to discuss countermeasures.
After testing in the morning, they did not find any suspicious people around them, nor did they encounter anything suspicious.
This made them think that the person who was secretly watching them might have been lured away by the old man last night?
Someone proposed to take advantage of this opportunity to try to leave Puning Port. If they could leave Puning Port, they could invite rescue.
Some people also doubted whether the dream last night was directed and acted by the old man. Maybe nothing happened from beginning to end.
Finally, they split into two teams of two people each.
One team stayed here and stood still, one person from the other team left by land, and one person escaped from Puning Port by sea.
In the afternoon, they boarded their carriages and boats and left smoothly.
At night, the two members of the Red Gloves team who stayed in the hotel and continued to wait for their teammates who had just left less than five hours ago.
The four people gathered in the room again.
There was silence for a while, then the man who left in the car coughed lightly and began to talk about his experience tonight.
"The horses in the carriage I was in in the afternoon suddenly went berserk on the road, knocking the whole carriage to pieces. The coachman could only let me get out of the carriage and walk. I wanted to wait and see if there were any other people leaving Puning Harbor. The carriage, but after waiting for an hour, I didn’t see any other carriages.”
"There was no carriage, so I just thought about leaving here on foot, and then set off to the villages and towns near Puning Port as shown on the map. In order to avoid being discovered, I deliberately avoided the main road and walked on the dense forest path."
"After walking for more than an hour, I came back to the same place. This is definitely not normal, so I went back to the hotel first and wanted to discuss it with you again."
After he finished speaking, the people who went out to sea in the boat also talked about what happened to them tonight.
Everything was normal at first, but after about two hours, the captain told them that it might be due to fog at sea, and the ship had been circling in the nearby waters, unable to find the original channel, and had to return.
The captain, who has been making a living on the sea all year round, said that some of them might have caused the displeasure of the Poseidon, and it was the Poseidon who prevented them from going to sea.
The captain and crew believed this story, so he was sent back to shore.
coincide? accidental?
This could no longer explain what happened to them tonight.
"The noble goddess will not sit idly by and watch her believers suffer. As long as we do not send the letter back on time, the church will know that we are currently experiencing difficulties."
"Now, the most important thing for us is to survive safely and wait for the church's support."
"Let's all take a rest for the night and think about how to solve this dilemma tomorrow."
……
At around ten o'clock at night, under the dim light, Hastur was sitting at his desk, flipping through a new book sent by Mrs. Lisa. This was another book praising the great King in Yellow.
main
The story is mainly about the King in Yellow who walks the human world in his incarnation and encounters some stories. It has the style of a fairy tale with a touch of dark reality.
Hasta personally still feels that the writing is very good, and Mrs. Lisa seems to be very talented in this aspect.
After reading the book, Hastur moved a little and was about to take a bath and rest. Suddenly, he saw Azshara coming to the window in excitement and meowing twice into the dark night outside.
Sharon is back?
With a smile on his face, Hasta came to the window and saw the light flashing in the window in front of him, and a figure appeared in the window.
"Meow."
Azshara scratched at the window glass with her little paws, as if she wanted to pull Sharon out, but was unable to do so.
Bang!
Azshara used too much force and scratched the stained glass on the window, and most of the stained glass fell towards the ground.
The broken glass remaining inside the window frame had more than a dozen cracks, and Sharon's figure appeared in every small piece of mirror.
Azshara's blue pupils widened, unable to understand the magical sight in front of her.
After looking at it for a while, it wanted to extend its paw again, but when it saw broken glass on the ground, it took its paw back again, and then let out an aggrieved cry.
Soon, Sharon's figure in the glass gathered together, and then came to the other piece of glass on the opposite side.
"Meow?"
Azshara came closer, her eyes almost touching the stained glass.
Sharon in the glass stretched out her hands, picked up Azshara and entered the mirror world.
Azshara looked very excited after entering the glass for the first time, happily lying in Sharon's arms, with only her little head exposed.
Hastur looked at this scene and didn't bother to argue with Azshara about destroying the stained glass.
After playing for a while, Sharon moved the tabletop from the remaining glass into the mirror, and then walked out of it.
Sharon, who was successfully promoted to Sequence 4 Puppet, is not much different from before in terms of appearance and temperament.
Sure enough, before she was promoted, she already looked like an emotionless puppet.
Although she was playing around with Azshara now, her face was so calm that there was no emotion at all. Her eyes were as clear as water, and there was no emotion flowing through them either.
It became increasingly difficult to see Sharon's true inner thoughts.
Hastur observed for a while and smiled: "Welcome back."
Sharon nodded, then placed Azshara in her arms on the table and said, "Many people came to investigate me."
Hastur raised his eyebrows slightly and said nonchalantly: "Maybe they are just doing it as a matter of routine."
Sharon said nothing, and her eyes, which were almost the same color as Azshara, just stared at Hastur.
"They came because of Ince Zangwill's incident. They recognized the breath and traces you left that night." Hastur had no choice but to explain, and then talked to Sharon with a playful smile. They looked at each other and said, "Come to think of it, it was because of you that I was put on their investigation list."
That night when he shot Ince Zangwill, he had his own secrets, and after snatching 008 away, he eliminated all breaths and traces.
Logically speaking, members of the Red Gloves team cannot lock him, even with the Eye of the Goddess.
They must have noticed Sharon through her movements.
Noticed myself.
In other words, Sharon's troubles during this time were problems of her own making.
Hastur's eyes always fell on Sharon's face, but he was unable to observe even a little bit of emotional fluctuations on her face. At this moment, she really looked like a real puppet.
Although she can talk, when it comes to controlling her emotions, she is just a large and exquisite puppet.
The only pity is that I can't play any dress-up games, ahem...
Hastur suppressed those abnormal thoughts, paused and said: "I am also thinking about how to deal with them."
Although Mrs. Lisa is now handling this matter, Sharon should not be involved too much in the matter of the monk in yellow.
Sharon said calmly: "008 is an unknown sealed object, it's best to stay away from it."
Hastur laughed, "It's really annoying sometimes, but it's still somewhat useful."
Now, 008 is still lying quietly in the box in the corner of the desk.
It was only because of Sharon's presence that he didn't jump up and object.
Seeing that Hastur insisted on keeping 008, Sharon did not continue the topic.
