Mrs. Connie felt like she was floating in the darkness, all kinds of images flashing in her mind. They were all warm scenes of her and her son, Raven.
But all of a sudden, these warm scenes were shattered into countless pieces, and only one scene was left.
The usually gentle knight, Raven, showed a ferocious and evil face. He raised his long sword high and slashed it down at her.
Mrs. Connie's eyes flew open.
Her forehead was covered in sweat, and she couldn't stop panting. It took her a lot of effort to calm down from the scene just now.
"Was it a dream?" Mrs. Connie whispered. But at this moment, she heard a familiar voice. "Mrs. Connie, are you all right?"
Mrs. Connie turned her head to look, and saw Alex, dressed in a white divine robe, had appeared beside her at some point.
"Alex, why are you …" Mrs. Connie was about to ask, "Why are you in my house?" But as she tried to sit up on the bed, she suddenly realized something terrifying. She couldn't feel her left hand.
She suddenly seemed to remember something. She raised her left arm, and looked at her empty left hand. Countless memories flashed through her mind. The forest at night, and the two people who were chasing her!
"My left hand, Raven … Camelot …" Mrs. Connie muttered absent-mindedly.
Alex said, "Mrs. Connie, can you tell me what happened? Your left hand … why is it gone? "
Mrs. Connie turned her head back hesitantly. "Can you help me sit up?"
Alex helped Mrs. Connie sit on the bed. Mrs. Connie then had a chance to look around. She found that she wasn't at home, but in a narrow wooden hut.
The air was filled with the smell of rotten wood.
"Where is this?" Mrs. Connie said absent-mindedly. She remembered that she seemed to have escaped into a stone cave yesterday, and then she couldn't remember anything else.
"This should be a forest keeper's hut. But when I came here, it had been abandoned for a long time. Because you were bleeding too much, the situation was very critical. I couldn't bring you back to town immediately. I could only treat you here temporarily."
"How did you find me?" Mrs. Connie looked at Alex with a hesitant gaze. After everything that had happened last night, she felt that the whole world was full of strangeness. Even though Alex was smiling elegantly and gently, she couldn't let her guard down.
Alex said with a look of pity, "Last night, I remembered something I had talked to Knight Raven about. I was feeling sad and wanted to talk to Mrs. Connie, but I found that Mrs. Connie wasn't there."
"I waited for a long time, but Mrs. Connie didn't come back. I remembered that I told you about some of Knight Raven's last wishes during the day. I guessed that you might have run to the Holy City overnight. I thought it would be dangerous to travel at night, so I chased after them. Then I searched the mountains, and found Mrs Connie lying in a cave. '
Alex's lie was extremely clumsy. However, his tone was very sincere and carried an elegant tone. It was as if someone was pitifully reciting a holy scripture, causing one's thoughts to be unconsciously guided.
Moreover, Mrs. Connie had just experienced a great change, and her mind was very uneasy. So she didn't think about whether Alex was lying or not. As long as Alex could come up with a random reason, she would believe him.
"I see … Then when you found me, did you see …" Mrs Connie swallowed her saliva, and her expression suddenly became terrified.
"See what?"
"… My son, Knight Raven, and Miss Camelot." When Mrs Connie said these two names, there was not only fear, but also a slight tremor in her voice.
"Isn't Knight Raven already dead? Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to expose your scars. I'm just a little confused. And Miss Camelot, she was buried last year … Mrs Connie, are you hallucinating? "Alex looked at Mrs Connie with confusion in his eyes.
Mrs Connie lowered her head and shivered. "I also hope it's a hallucination, but my left hand is gone. This means that it's not a hallucination, it's real! They're not dead, and they even want to kill me! Even my Raven has forgotten about me, and wants to kill me … Boohoo. "
"Mrs Connie, please don't be agitated. You can't be agitated in your current condition. If the stitches come loose again, it'll be bad. "Alex made a 'compromise' look." Alright, I believe you. "
Mrs Connie looked at Alex with a face full of tears. She murmured, "You really believe me?"
Alex sighed helplessly, as if comforting a child. "Of course I believe you. But speaking of the resurrection of the dead, I still feel a little creeped out. Can you tell me what happened to you last night? Your hand looks like it was cut by a sharp blade. Who did it? "
Mrs Connie didn't care if Alex was just brushing her off. She also longed to talk about the nightmare last night, to relieve the psychological pressure.
"It all started from yesterday afternoon …" Mrs Connie rambled on, and told him everything about her experience from leaving Guste to going to the Holy City.
Alex knew everything about the first half of the story, but he still controlled his facial expression, and acted as if he was surprised and sad at the right time.
It wasn't until Mrs Connie talked about the most crucial moment, when she was about to cross the mountain to the other side, that Alex pricked up his ears.
"I clearly saw the road ahead, and even the shadows of the trees, but suddenly …" Mrs Connie had a strange look on her face. "I bumped into a wall! It was clearly a place with air, but there was a wall, and there was no road ahead!
"I thought I was confused, and wanted to go around to the other side, but there was no road on the other side either!
"Just as I was puzzled, a human figure suddenly protruded from the wall, and a person came out from the wall … When I saw his face clearly, I realized it was my son, Raven!
"I was very excited to see Raven appear in front of me alive, but the next second, I realized that Raven had pulled out the knight's sword at his waist, and was slashing at me. I instinctively raised my hand to block it, but my left hand … "Mrs Connie swallowed her saliva, her face full of lingering fear.
Mrs Connie continued to talk about how she ran away, and how she finally escaped … But Alex already knew everything after that, and he knew it even better than Mrs Connie.
When Mrs Connie finished, she looked at Alex eagerly. "Do you still believe me now?"
Alex nodded. "Yes, I do."
Mrs Connie finally smiled, but then she began to cry. "Wonderful! Someone still believes me. I'm not crazy. Those people really did appear."
Alex stepped forward and hugged Mrs Connie. "I believe you. Relax. The nightmare will end, and everything will be fine. "
Mrs Connie sighed in relief and leaned on Alex's shoulder. "Thank you," she said in a low voice.
Angor, who was hiding on the side, clicked his tongue. How would Mrs. Connie react when she found out that Alex was the one behind all this?
However, it would be difficult for Mrs Connie to find out. After all, Alex only encouraged her with his words, and everything was Mrs Connie's "own" decision.
A moment later, Mrs Connie calmed down a bit, and Alex let go of her. "I believe you, but I still don't know how the dead can come back to life …"
After getting Mrs Connie's attention, Alex continued, "If Rayven Knight and Camelot came back to life, will those who died in the past also come back to life?"
Mrs Connie was a little absent-minded. "I don't know. Maybe?"
"If they can all come back to life, then there must be some secret behind this. And this secret might be the undercurrent hidden beneath Guste Town." Speaking up to this point, Alex seemed to have thought of something. His face suddenly turned grim.
"Oh no! Looks like we can't bring Mrs Connie back to the town for now. You found out the secret of 'resurrection'! If someone deliberately hid this secret for so many years, they would never let you live to tell them! Someone will definitely come after you. "
"That evil mastermind behind all this! What is he trying to do? Resurrecting the dead and manipulating them to kill people. According to God Father's teachings, this is the act of a demon, an unforgivable sin! "
"These people will definitely be punished by God Father!"
Alex mumbled to himself for a while, then looked at Mrs. Connie, who was still in a daze. "How about this, Mrs. Connie, you stay here for a while, and I'll go back to town to investigate this matter in secret. As the preacher of God Father's teachings, I will find a way to expel this undercurrent from Ghost Town! "
Alex's impassioned words made Mrs Connie uneasy. Was she really in a dangerous situation?
But just as Alex said, she did find out the secret of resurrection. Most of the time, the more you knew, the more dangerous you would be. Mrs Connie knew this.
"Alex is reliable. Maybe he's right. I can't just show my face. Otherwise … I don't know what will happen!" Mrs Connie thought to herself.
Angor was amazed. Alex managed to fool Mrs Connie with a few simple words. He even changed the secret of the Confinement to the secret of resurrection, which made Mrs Connie even more convinced.
This guy was really a natural-born priest. At the very least, his ability to fool people was already at the point of perfection.
"But … Won't it be dangerous for me to stay here alone?" Mrs Connie was a little afraid of being left alone.
"I can stay here with you, but I won't be able to find out the truth." Alex paused. "Also, after hearing what you said, I feel a chill down my spine. Even your own son was brainwashed after coming back to life. I don't even know who to trust anymore, so I don't dare to ask someone else to come and take care of you."
"And you're injured now. You can't move around freely." Alex looked distressed. "I'll have to trouble you, Mrs Connie. Don't worry, I'll come here every day to bring you food and the latest information …"
After hearing Alex's words, Mrs. Connie understood that this was the only way. She nodded. "All right. I'll wait for you."
"If … If one day I don't come, it means I've already been —"
Mrs Connie quickly said, "No! You must be careful! My matter can wait for now, but you must be careful. "
Alex nodded solemnly and solemnly.
