"If you are talking about the place where those little mutes lived, then this is the place." Another refugee, who was also dressed in rags, nodded and bowed to an armored knight.
Behind the knight was a middle-aged woman who looked as if she had lost her soul. She was the previous owner of the Blue Wave Bay Bakery.
The door of the dilapidated hut was pushed open by the armored knight. His cold eyes scanned the place, but the inside was empty. There was nothing inside.
"Didn't you say that they were here? Where are they? "The armored knight coldly looked at the refugee.
The refugee also looked around in confusion. He had clearly seen those two little bugs come back. How could they suddenly disappear? The knight's eyes grew deeper and deeper. Sweat began to form on the refugee's head and his eyes rolled around.
"Are you playing with me?" The armored knight coldly snorted.
The refugee's already tense heartstrings instantly snapped. He was so scared that he knelt down on the ground.
"No, no, I really saw them come back … … That's right, I remember now! The vicious peasant woman who used to live here seemed to have dug a cellar in the backyard. Maybe they are hiding in the cellar! " In order to increase his trust, the refugee kept nodding his head: "Yes, they must be in the cellar!"
"There was a peasant woman who used to live here?" The armored knight repeated the doubtful points mentioned by the refugee as he walked around the gate and headed towards the backyard mentioned by the refugee.
"That's right. That vicious peasant woman was crafty and harsh. She was also very burly. She looked very much like … …" When the refugee said this, he glanced at the woman in the bakery. He felt that what he said was inappropriate and coughed twice: "Anyway, we who live in this area hate her. However, a month ago, that wicked peasant woman suddenly disappeared. Then, those two little bugs came. No, it was three little bugs. However, one of the boys came and then left. I think that the wicked peasant woman's disappearance was caused by those little bugs. "
The woman in the bakery suddenly raised her head. Her dazed expression instantly turned into one of gnashing teeth: "That must be it. Those two children are demons. They killed my Nini!"
The knight ignored the madwoman and turned to look at the refugees. "This area has been occupied by you refugees. You say that others are mean and mean, but from the perspective of a peasant woman, what good have you done?"
As a Judge Knight, he would never listen to a one-sided story. The refugees called others evil peasant women, but they had never reflected on their own actions. Now that the entire Heylan Nation was shrouded in a shadow, if a single peasant woman wanted to survive in a place where refugees gathered, how could she not be fierce?
The refugee smiled embarrassedly, nodding and bowing, but he didn't dare to talk back.
When they came to the cellar in the backyard, the knight suddenly frowned. "Why is there another … rotten smell?"
"It seems that your previous guess might be correct." The knight glanced at the refugee.
He pushed the door. As he expected, the door wouldn't budge. However, there was a flicker of light in the crack of the door. It was obvious that the reason why the door couldn't be opened was because someone was blocking it from behind.
The knight sneered. He took out his sword and slashed at the wooden door of the cellar.
The wooden door shattered. At the same time, the figures behind the door were revealed. Two children, one fat and one thin, looked at them with fear in their eyes.
"Judge, it's them, it's them! The two children that the sailor talked about must be them! They killed my Nini … "The madwoman held the knight's iron boots with trembling hands, tears streaming down her face.
Before the knight could speak, the two children saw the shining iron sword in the knight's hand. They were so scared that they hid in the cellar.
The knight followed them down. After a few steps, he saw a half-rotten female corpse at the corner of the stairs.
The strong rotten smell came from the female corpse. Her face was so rotten that it couldn't be seen clearly. There were white and fat maggots moving between the green and white.
The refugees behind the knight had seen many hungry and rotten corpses. They weren't afraid of this scene. They even looked curiously.
"Look at her clothes. This body is that vicious peasant woman's!" The refugee exclaimed. "I was wondering why she was missing. So she died here …"
The knight glanced at the rotten body of the peasant woman and roughly estimated the time of her death. Thinking about it, as soon as the peasant woman died, these children moved in. Obviously, her death was related to them.
The knight looked back at the madwoman who was still crying. He had a rough conclusion in his heart.
He guessed that the sailor from Blue Wave Bay was right. With the viciousness of these two children, it was possible that they pushed her daughter Nini into the sea.
The knight sighed. In this filthy world, even children picked up weapons.
There was no way out of the cellar. Chaila and Anika stood in front of the cradle. They looked at the knight in iron armor and the madwoman behind him with fear and despair.
"Did you kill the person outside?"
No one answered.
"Did you push her daughter into the sea?"
Still, no one answered.
"It doesn't matter if you don't speak. A passing sailor saw you push her daughter into the sea. I now arrest you in the name of the Knight of Judgement. If there is a mistake, you will be fine. But if you resist arrest now, don't blame me … "The knight took out his sword and pointed it at Chaila and Anika. The cold iron light of the weapon made the two unconsciously take a step back.
After a moment of silence, Anika suddenly pushed Chaila away and walked in front of the knight. He pointed at himself and kept saying "ah ah ah", but he couldn't say a word.
The knight looked at Anika's empty mouth, a trace of surprise flashing in his eyes.
He had heard from the refugees that there was a mute living here, but he didn't expect that the mute wasn't born, but had his tongue cut off?!
Chaila saw Anika's actions and his eyes turned gloomy. He finally came forward and protected Anika behind him.
"It wasn't him. I pushed the girl into the sea because her mother …" Chaila turned his head and stared at the madwoman. "She insulted us! She even let the dog bite us! We were only defending ourselves. "
"That's because you stopped me from doing business. That's why I let the dog …" Before the madwoman could finish, the knight stood in front of her.
"The court will judge whether it's right or wrong. You all come with me."
Chaila said quietly, "I'll go with you."
"It's not just about her daughter. You also need to give an explanation for the dead woman outside. So you all must come with me. "
Chaila's eyes were gloomy. "We didn't kill the woman outside."
"Whether it was you or not, we'll know when we get to the court."
"I said I'll go with you. If Anika leaves, who will take care of my sister? "Chaila looked at the knight fearlessly.
"Sister?" The knight's eyes hesitated for a moment, then landed on the cradle.
The refugee muttered doubtfully, "They have a sister? I've never seen her before. "
The knight walked forward, forcing Anika and Chaila to retreat. When the knight came to the cradle, he looked inside.
His pupils suddenly shrank.
"She … what happened? Who did it? "The knight's voice was trembling, but his eyes were full of anger. As a knight of the court, his principle was to hate evil. Although he didn't like the actions of the two children, looking at the girl in the cradle who had no arms or legs, and even her mouth was sewn shut, made him even more indignant.
Killing people was just a moment, but torturing people was a lifetime. What's more, this was just a child?!
The knight looked at the girl in the cradle, his eyes flashing with distress. The refugees also curiously went to look inside the cradle. Anika and Chaila protected the cradle, looking at the knight with vigilant eyes.
Except for the madwoman, everyone surrounded the cradle. Most importantly, they all had their backs to her.
Hatred flashed in her eyes. She didn't care what was in the cradle. She just wanted to avenge her daughter. Now that everyone had their backs to her, it was the best chance!
She reached into her pocket with trembling hands and slowly pulled out a small knife that she usually used to cut bread.
Her eyes locked on Chaila. According to the sailor she met before, it was the fat child who pushed her Nini. Her first goal was to kill Chaila! If she had the chance, she would kill Anika as well.
She put the knife on her back and pretended to want to see what was in the cradle like everyone else. But when she got closer, she raised the knife and stabbed it into Chaila's abdomen.
She screamed in pain and blood gushed out. The knight kicked her back.
"Hahaha … Nini, I've avenged you … Mommy has avenged you …" The auntie was kicked to the side. Even though her chest hurt, even though she didn't manage to kill Yaniga, she had already killed Nini's murderer. Nothing else mattered …
Chaila's knife broke the balance in the cellar.
The knight glared at the madwoman. He didn't expect her to kill someone in front of him!
"Chaila … Chaila … No …" Anika, who didn't know how to speak ventriloquism, finally understood.
Even Guina, who was lying in the cradle and pretending to be deaf, couldn't help but struggle. "What's going on? What happened? Chaila? Answer me, Chaila. What happened to you? "
"I … I'm fine." Chaila was lying on the ground with blood coming out of his mouth.
"I don't believe you! What happened to you?" Guina asked anxiously. "Mister Inquisitor, please let me see Chaila!"
The knight glanced at Guina who was struggling in the cradle. Her ventriloquism was very strange.
"Chaira …" The knight wanted to comfort Guina, but he couldn't bring himself to lie to her when he saw Chaira's pupils dilating. "He's fine."
The madwoman was laughing like a madwoman, but there was only silence.
When Chaila's body was no longer warm, Anika was lying on top of him with tears running down her cheeks.
Suddenly, Anika saw a blood-stained knife on the floor not far from them. It was the knife the madwoman used to stab Chaila, but it fell on the ground after the knight kicked the madwoman away.
Yaniga looked at Chai La, who was no longer breathing. He suddenly smiled bleakly and picked up the knife.
Anika's eyes widened.
"I'm sorry, Guina. And Brother Vonman … Goodbye."
Yaniga picked up the knife and stabbed it into his heart.
Just as the knife pierced his heart, Yaniga suddenly heard a familiar voice. "Yaniga?"
Anika endured the pain and turned to the direction of the cellar. A figure suddenly rushed towards him.
Anika froze for a second, then slowly smiled.
This is great …
It's great to see you again before I die.
