Seeing Alex walk down the watchtower step by step, his figure blending into the night and disappearing from sight, Bran Lang sighed faintly. "What will come, will come."
Alex returned to his room and lit up an oil lamp while looking outside the window.
He didn't know what those screams meant, but he did hear some noises coming from the street.
"Did they show up again?" This was the doubt in Alex's heart. In addition, he also had doubts about Father Bollenlang. He always felt that Father Bollenlang was a little strange. It seemed the old man had other intentions when he tried to stop Alex.
About ten minutes later, a figure slowly showed up in his room.
"Did you find anything, Mister Padt?"
Alex had just returned to his room, but that didn't mean Angor followed him. Angor immediately went to the south of Ghost Town to check the location of the incident.
"Two more people died, and …" Angor's eyes suddenly turned gloomy.
Alex waited for Angor's explanation.
"I saw the culprit as well."
"Really? Is it Knight Raven? "Alarmed, Alex quickly asked.
Angor shook his head. "Not Raven Knight or Camelot. Two other people."
Next, the illusion energy around his consciousness slowly manifested into two figures in front of him. One of them was a plump woman, and the other was a very thin and sickly man.
"They're undead as well."
Alex swallowed his saliva and stared at the two illusory figures. He muttered in a low voice, "I know both of them. One of them is Madam Mading, who disappeared yesterday. It seems that she has also met with misfortune. The other one …"
"Mister Shrek, who died two years ago."
The perpetrator was not Raven Knight or Camelot, but it made Alex feel an even more intense chill. Did this mean all the people who were killed by Raven Knight became undead?
Alex already had a similar idea, but he still couldn't believe it.
It took Alex a while to digest the shocking news. "Mister Padt, where did they go in the end?" He asked after he calmed down.
If he knew where the undead went, would he be able to find the person who controlled them?
Angor shook his head. "They melted into the air and disappeared."
"Disappeared?"
"In my opinion, it's more likely that they entered a special space within the Confinement." Of course, it was also possible that the undead had left the Confinement, but this possibility was very small.
A special space? Alex didn't know what that meant. But before he could ask, Angor tossed another stun grenade at him.
"In addition to seeing the two undead, I also caught a human figure at the scene. It's a human, not an undead."
Alex looked up in surprise. "A living person? The one who controlled them? "
"Maybe. I couldn't see it clearly because that figure was the first to disappear. I only saw a blurry back. But I can be sure that it was a human. He brought the bodies of the people he killed into the special space I mentioned. "
"Are they male or female? What are their characteristics?" Alex quickly asked.
"I don't know." Angor didn't have a physical body, so he couldn't use his illusions to get information quickly. "Speaking of which … the figure looked a little hunched."
Stooping was an obvious characteristic, but there were at least eight hundred people in Guste with stooped backs, if not seven hundred.
It was unlikely that someone could find them with such a feature.
"No matter what, at least we've confirmed one thing. That person is most likely in Ghost Town!" Alex said.
"Apart from that, the special space is also useful." Angor's figure slowly disappeared and turned into a white cage.
Before yesterday, they had only regarded this world as a white cage.
But today, they were sure that there was another special space in this world.
Angor pointed at the white cage, and a shadow appeared under it. Under the illumination of the light, it looked like a black cage. And this black cage was probably that special space.
"Why did you kill these people?" Angor asked another question after he finished explaining what he saw.
Yesterday, Anthony's death and Martin's disappearance led them to think that they saw Raven Knight's face, which led to their deaths.
However, today's incident was strange. Whether it was the murder case during the day or the two people who had just died, there was no special connection between the two incidents.
So why did they kill them?
"Could it be that they were seen when they were looking for Mrs. Connie in town?" Alex still used yesterday's logic to make a guess.
"They must be looking for Lady Connie. But if they're doing it openly, more people will see them. If they're doing it in secret, it'll be hard for others to find them. "
"Mister Padt said that undead creatures are born to be cruel. Maybe they just want to kill people?"
"If it's an undead creature, it won't be just these people who died."
Angor rejected several of his guesses, and the reason for the killings became a mystery.
Suddenly, a thought flashed through Alex's mind. "If it's not because of the undead, could it be because of the controller? Because they couldn't find Lady Connie, the manipulator started to escalate the situation until it got out of control? "
It was possible, but it was just a guess. However, this was still just a guess. Nothing could be confirmed until the controller was found.
With that done, Alex once again took out the case he had recorded. He wanted to find traces of the manipulator from the case.
"Don't you think Father Brumlang acted a little strange in the watchtower?" Angor suddenly asked.
Alex paused and nodded. "Yeah. But I don't think he's the manipulator."
Father Brumlang was with the sheriff for the whole day yesterday, and he was also here when the accident happened. Therefore, Angor was sure that Father Brumlang was not the manipulator.
"According to the timeline, he's not the manipulator. But we can't be sure. There's only one manipulator, "Angor said. "Of course, judging from Father Brunlang's behavior these days, I don't think he's a manipulator either. Just like you said, I don't think Father Brunlang is a manipulator. But — "
"He's acting strange. I think he knows something."
He went to the crime scene as soon as he heard the screams. When he came back, he saw Father Brumlang still in the watchtower, looking at the scene with a grim expression.
Angor even sensed the desperation in the man's heart.
Because of this, Angor believed that Father Balenlang was not the manipulator, but the old man must know something about it.
There was something else he didn't want to tell Alex yet.
His intuition told him that Alex, an "outsider" like himself, was the reason why the cage was built in the first place.
If this conjecture was correct, the people around Alex needed to be put in question.
Especially Father Brumlang, the man who saved Alex, adopted him, and tried to brainwash him with the Holy Bible.
After a long silence, Alex nodded. "Father Bollenlang might know something, but from what I know of Father Bollenlang, if he doesn't want to talk about it, no one will be able to get an answer."
"I don't know. Things are changing now, and he might be killed as well," said Angor.
Angor's words reminded Alex of Bran Lang's words: At least the Church of Kruje would be safe under the protection of God the Father.
Did he mean that Alex would be fine as long as he stayed in Kruje Church?
Did Bron Lang say this intentionally, or unintentionally?
Why?
Alex finally nodded. "I'll find an opportunity to test Father Brumlang's words."
…
The night slowly faded away, and a new day arrived in the morning.
The morning should have been full of hope, but because of the murder last night, the entire town of Ghost was in a gloomy mood.
Ghost Town was much bigger than Grue Town, with a population of nearly ten thousand people.
With such a large number of people, the death of one or two people would only cause a portion of the people to panic. As for the majority of the people, they might be lucky, or they might not care at all. They simply did not care about the misfortune of others.
However, people kept dying, and these people's identities, statuses, and residences were all the same.
No one could be sure that they wouldn't be the lucky ones if the serial killer kept on killing.
Because of this, almost everyone in Ghost Town began to feel anxious.
However, there were different kinds of people who were anxious.
Most people still needed to live when they couldn't fight back. So, they just kept their worries to themselves and did what they should do.
A very small number of people were affected by anxiety; some of them stayed at home, trembling, and dared not move; some went to the church to recite the scriptures, and pray for the salvation of the Father; some went to the magistrate's office, and prayed for the protection of the knights.
Some people thought they made the right choice, but they didn't know that they were already walking toward the abyss.
Alex stood at the top of the church and looked at the end of the street. A dozen people carried their luggage and headed out of the town.
Without a doubt, they chose to leave Ghost Town. They hoped to stay away from the fate of being killed.
However, they didn't know that leaving didn't mean there was hope. It meant true despair.
