Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Once upon a time, there was a kind woman, her voice was so pleasant, her face was so beautiful, she helped the poor not to starve, she persuaded the rich not to fall, the whole kingdom respectfully called her ‘Saintess’, even the young prince fell in love with her.
She followed the ancient doctrines that gradually filled the people of the kingdom with hope for life. However, the good times did not last long. The kingdom sent a plague and a large number of people died. The Saintess could not bear to see people die, so she went against the doctrines and used witchcraft to save the people.
However, the people did not thank her. Instead, they felt angry because she violated the teachings. One night, they tied her up and sent her to the square to be burned at the stake. In the flames, the face of the Holy Lady was no longer beautiful, the voice of the Holy Lady was no longer pleasant, and the people laughed happily.
The Saintess was angry and she began to curse.
“Fools, I curse you. Every night, when I suffer the burning of flames, you will also suffer the burning pain of the flames and transform into monsters in the flames. Only blood can give you a moment of peace.”
The story is simple, like a fairy tale, but a cursed fairy tale.
Kuro told the content to the people around him and the others looked over again. Crowe looked at the plaque carefully for a while and pushed his glasses.
“Mr. Kuro, are you under too much pressure after the end of the war? This is not a trivial language. It is the universal language of the world. How can you be wrong?”
“Bullshit, this is clearly a story, there are no rules and laws.” Kuro was unusually sure.
That was what he saw.
“You, you!”
However, just as he finished speaking, he saw an old staff member pointing at him at the door. He looked extremely frightened, as if he had seen a demon.
“Witch! You are also a witch!”
The old man rushed over ferociously. “All witches deserve to die!”
Bang!
Several staff members behind him pressed him to the ground.
“Nero, you’re starting again!”
“That’s right. Every time someone says that, you will go crazy. Hey, look at the people. This is Marine.”
“What witch? There are so many people like you in the kingdom. We can’t even join the Marine. Damn it.”
“Witch! Witch!” The old man was pressed to the ground and could not move, but he still raised his head and shouted at Kuro.
One of the staff members smiled apologetically at Kuro. “Marine, I’m sorry, this old man will go crazy from time to time. You’ve seen the content, I’ll open the door for you.”
“Somehow…”
Kuro bit his cigar and blew out a mouthful of smoke. He pointed his thumb at himself and said, “I’m a man. What witch? What’s wrong with this old man?”
“Lieutenant Colonel, this old man will often be like this. As long as someone comes over and some people see this plaque like you, then this old man will go crazy. It’s normal.”
The lieutenant at the side said and then glanced at the plaque. “Speaking of which, why did you see a different content? Is there any mechanism? Or some Easter egg?”
These words made Kuro narrow his eyes slightly.
‘He wasn’t the only one who saw it?’
What does this plaque mean?
“The door is open, please come in.”
At this time, the staff opened the door to the town and said to Kuro and others.
Kuro shook his head and walked forward.
“Strange…”
Leda followed him, her head tilted, her face thoughtful.
“What’s wrong?” Kuro asked.
“No, I seem to have seen the story you mentioned somewhere, but I can’t remember where.”
Leda rubbed her head and frowned. “Where did I see it…”
“If you can’t think of anything, don’t think about it. It’s just a small story. What strange things can there be?”
With that, Kuro turned around and glanced at the old man. At this moment, the old man’s head was twisted back into a shocking arc, and his eyes were about to pop out. His mouth was open, revealing several missing teeth, and saliva was flowing down the corner of his mouth.
“Witch!” He was still shouting crazily.
Kuro’s lips twitched and he entered the gate without looking at the old man.
Inside the door, it was different from the deserted port behind. The tall buildings were full of shops, and there were pedestrians everywhere on the neat stone road. It was bustling with activity.
The strangeness unique to Gothic architecture also faded away under the crowd.
“It’s quite hot…”
Kuro smiled and said to the lieutenant, “Take me to the base first.”
“Yes, please follow me.”
The lieutenant saluted and prepared to lead Kuro forward.
“Heeheehee, a group of boys I have never seen before.”
Suddenly, a woman flashed in front of them.
The woman put her hands behind her back and jumped around on the spot. She bared her teeth at Kuro and others. “Hello, I am the tour guide of Tada Town. Do you need me to show you around?”
“Eh? Fishman?” Leda looked at her teeth and was stunned.
The woman was very young, no more than 20 years old. She had long black hair and a lively face, but her bared teeth were like serrations, similar to the teeth of a Merman.
“No, no, no…”
The woman pointed a finger at Leda and shook it. “It’s either a sharp tooth or a fishman. I am a very pure human.”
“It’s you again, Sipatia, don’t cause trouble here, get out of the way.”
At this moment, the lieutenant waved his hand impatiently. “Go find those tourists. We don’t need a tour guide.”
“Oh, you were rejected.”
The woman named Sipathea giggled, but her body did not move. Instead, she stuck her head out and said with a smile, “It’s a pity that you can’t earn Marine’s money. However, you are new here, I still have to remind you not to go out at night. If you go out at night, you will become monsters.”
“Come on, you have to say that every time you see a stranger.”
The lieutenant sighed and took out a stack of Berries from his pocket. “Hurry up and leave. Find something serious to do and don’t idle around here.”
“Thank you, Marine.”
Sipatiya took it with a smile, but she still didn’t retreat. “But I’m not lying. It’s true. If you go out at night, you will become monsters.”
She glanced at everyone and repeated, “If you go out at night, you will become a terrible monster.”
“How is that possible? How can a person become a monster?”
A Marine behind him retorted, “Are the people of this town living by telling stories?”
“Hahaha, I don’t believe it either. To become a monster at night, this town has long been famous.”
The Marines laughed and refuted the woman’s words.”
West Patia was still smiling and didn’t say anything. Instead, she looked at Kurolida and Crowe.
“Don’t get in the way, woman.”
Crowe pushed up his glasses, which glinted coldly.
“Oh~ What a terrible face.”
Sipatia giggled and stepped aside.
Kuro frowned and glanced at her, feeling a little confused.
Why are there always inexplicable people in this town?
However, he did not care about anything and walked forward under the lead of the lieutenant.
Sipatiya looked at their backs with a smile. “Oh, three people, forget it…”
She stretched out her hand, her thumb and index finger opened, and the second hand formed a rectangle aimed at them. She whispered:
“The reverse side is correct.”
