I come from the world of punishment

If you look closely, you will find that the small well is a miniature replica of the stone platform in the center of the town, and the engravings on the manhole cover next to it are also exactly the same.

It would be more like if something was coming out of it.

It just so happened that the water in the small well was almost full at this time, and the water surface could be seen even from a distance.

"Blood..." Luo Huai just glanced and confirmed.

Not surprisingly.

If the well water was originally clear, it shouldn't be so completely red.

Thinking about it this way, the big stone platform in the center of the town should be full of blood, right?

I'm afraid it's not a blood pool.

"If what's in the blood pool on the stone platform is a monster, what about this small one?"

Suddenly, something appeared for a moment in the water shaken by raindrops at the wellhead.

Luo Huai frowned, "I didn't see clearly."

It was just a small bump that was there for too short a time.

"The ones in there...are me and my brother."

"..." Luo Huai was silent.

Just then, the sound of kitchen knives in the house stopped.

"It's my dad. He came out to get water for cooking."

There are a lot of dishes to make on New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Eve dinner, and naturally a lot of water is used.

But is the food made with blood really edible?

And if the current timeline of the town is exactly after the tragedy occurred, that means that all the adults went back to do their own things as if nothing had happened...

It's unbelievable. Have the minds of those adults been completely controlled by monsters?

Luo Huai hid behind the doorpost, wanting to confirm this fact.

Soon, I saw a man dressed simply walking out carrying a wooden bucket.

His expression was dull, and even though his movements were not stiff at all, he still gave people the impression of a marionette.

He just walked to the wellhead in the rain of blood. The turbid and scarlet well water seemed to him to be a clear spring.

He bent down and scooped up a bucket of water without changing his expression.

But when he saw the limbs scooped up by wooden buckets and hanging outside in the blood, there seemed to be a glimmer of light in his dull eyes, but the pain soon spread to the light.

Blood energy emerged from the man's body, as if trying to suppress his remaining consciousness again.

But the man resisted desperately and even banged his head against the mouth of the well.

The barrel was thrown to the ground, and the contents spilled out.

Now he could see clearly, it was a little boy...but he was smaller, so he should be his younger brother.

The jade pendant shook even more violently, and Luo Huai had to hold him down with his hands.

The man was in pain, but Luo Huai, who knew nothing now, was helpless.

And what is happening now is definitely a repeat of the tragedy of the past. Even if he stops it now, some things that have already happened cannot be changed.

The man finally used all his strength and hit the ground without making any sound.

At the same time, the sound of things falling was heard from inside.

Yupei's reaction became more and more violent. Luo Huai could only hold him tightly to prevent him from seeing this, but his body was not far away. How could he hide everything that happened from the little boy?

First he and his brother, then his parents.

The same thing was happening in other houses.

Overnight, the entire town, on what should have been the most lively night, fell into endless silence.

Yes, there is only the cry of the monster that echoes in the air.

Luo Huai hid behind the pillar, still waiting.

Soon, there were new changes.

The man who was supposed to be dead suddenly stood up again, his eyes dull again.

He wouldn't wake up this time.

The barrel was lifted again, and the little boy and his brother were picked up by the expressionless father and thrown back.

"Woo..." A whimper came from the well.

These wells and the stone platform should be connected to each other.

The thing sank and never came up again.

Two godless puppets were in the kitchen, and the sound of kitchen knives chopping the chopping board sounded again.

Maybe the puppet controlled by the monster didn't have common sense, so the door was not closed.

Luo Huai walked quietly, "Enter the house.

The house is not big, but it is well-equipped.

Luo Huai rummaged through the desk and drawers, hoping to find some clues.

But apart from some clutter, there was nothing else.

"Huh? This talisman paper..." Luo Huai finally focused on the only special object.

In ancient times, even if they were not priests or believers, there were many ordinary people who believed in gods, but most of them believed blindly.

What ordinary people think is a gift from the gods is actually just a coincidence.

But the reason why Luo Huai noticed it was not because he recognized the contents on the talisman paper. On the contrary, it was because of the talisman paper itself, the fine paper and texture.

This is not something ordinary people would be willing to buy.

At this moment, the little boy seemed to calm down, his jade pendant shone slightly, and explained: "That was given to everyone by the mayor to keep everyone safe."

"You are really innocent."

The blood-red talisman paper, I dared to accept it just to keep it safe.

"In addition to the talisman, there is also a jade pendant."

Luo Huai heard this and removed the talisman paper, and sure enough he saw a square jade pendant underneath.

"Fang Suoyu..." Luo Huai seemed to have heard of this kind of folk saying, "The living locks their lives, and the dead locks their souls."

It means that if a living person wears it, it is equivalent to a lock of longevity that protects health; if a dead person wears it, it is equivalent to locking the soul and preventing it from leaving.

Obviously, the person who sent this thing probably just wanted to use the latter function.

As for whose soul is locked...it's actually easy to guess.

Either the little boy or his brother, or both.

"Remember, it seems that as long as the Fang Suoyu is broken, the soul inside can be released."

Want to break it? Will it alert the monster? Or alarm the person who sent these things?

"Keep it first."

Luo Huai decided to go to other people's homes to have a look, maybe he would find something new.

But the moment he took Fang Suoyu away from the cabinet, he heard footsteps coming from behind.

"!" Turning around suddenly, what he slashed with was a kitchen knife covered in blood.

Luo Huai subconsciously flicked his fingers, trying to flick the kitchen knife away from the side.

To be honest, an ordinary kitchen knife no longer poses much of a threat to him.

But he didn't expect that the person wielding the knife was surprisingly strong. This flick not only failed to deflect the knife, but even caused Luo Huai to lose the chance to dodge.

clang!

Hard object confrontation.

Luo Huai's whole body was thrown away and hit the wall.

"This strength..." Luo Huai sighed with emotion.

The person wielding the knife should be the little boy's mother. The slender arm showed strange twists due to the strong reaction force.

The puppet attacked without caring about its own damage, and then struck out with the attack just now.

but……

Luo Huai pulled himself out of the wall and landed lightly on the ground.

"I think the armor I stacked yesterday should be useful."
