Tomorrow's Ark, please don't die

"What's wrong?" Fiatina asked quickly.

"It's strange...the origin stone crystals on them don't seem to contain any energy, hey, kid."

"It's witch love."

Wu Lian hugged little Moti tightly, and said expressionlessly.

"...Wu Lian, how did you manage to divert this energy?"

"It wasn't Wu Lian who transferred it, it was Little Moti."

Wu Lian was still covered by Fiatina's eyes, she could only shake her head slightly, and held up the fox doll in her arms to show Warfarin.

"Little Morty?"

Warfarin was slightly taken aback.

She looked at the fox puppet in Wu Lian's arms, and then at Fia Tina.

Fiatina nodded to her, and explained softly: "When we found Wu Lian, she was alone in the room of the castle."

That's it.

Warfarin nodded knowingly.

In the environment of the old castle, hiding alone in the room, a child like Wu Lian could easily suffer from some mental illness.

Little Morty, that weird fox doll is probably her spiritual sustenance as a friend in the castle.

"Little Morte said it was the medium of the curse."

Wu Lian added.

Even more inexplicable.

Warfarin frowned. Sarkaz was an expert in curses. Compared to Syracuse, which only had gangsters and urban legends, Kazdel was the origin of witchcraft and curses.

"Let's go out and talk."

Fiatina suggested.

Everyone nodded quickly. This ancient castle is too depressing. It might be more suitable to transform it into a haunted house. They absolutely don't want to live here.

After about 5 minutes of touching...

With the help of Wu Lian, everyone quickly returned to the shore outside the castle.

"It's finally out."

Fiatina let out a long breath and stretched comfortably.

The air outside the castle seems to be much fresher than in the castle.

It was close to noon when they set off towards the castle, and it was already night, the sky was covered with dark clouds, and there was not a single star to be seen, so everyone could barely see the way ahead relying on Fiatina's halo.

"I have another place I want to visit."

Just when everyone was about to leave, Muyan who followed at the end suddenly spoke.

"Where?"

Fiatina was startled slightly, and asked subconsciously.

The mudstone turned slightly, pointing to the side of the castle - there was a piece of farmland that hadn't been taken care of for a long time, and there was nothing special in the dark night.

"Yes, yes, but what are you going to do there?"

Fiatina nodded slightly, and asked curiously.

The farmland is close to the side of the castle, and it doesn't take much time to go there. It's just a visit with the mudstone, and it's not a troublesome thing.

"The friends over there... seem to be talking about something."

Mudstone said softly.

After finishing speaking, she turned around and walked towards the farmland.

Fiatina looked at Shirtel beside her, Shirtel nodded to her, and Fiatina quickly followed the mud rock.

The land in the farmland is softer and seems to be very suitable for the growth of plants, but Lucille suddenly squatted down as if she had discovered something.

"Fia!"

But Lucille called out and waved to Fiatina.

Fia Tina was slightly taken aback, and then she leaned over to Ke Luxie, leaned down slightly and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Come here a little bit, that's right, the head is lowering a little bit, yes, that's it, it's almost there, keep this height and don't move."

Ke Luxie commanded Fiatina to move her head, and at the same time used the twigs that had just been broken off from the nearby tree to pull away a few pieces of loose soil, revealing the black and yellow ore hidden underneath.

"It's the origin stone."

Carusel frowned slightly.

She subconsciously looked at Wu Lian who was following Fiatina.

The corpses of infected people hidden in the basement of the castle, and this little girl, plus the source stone ore in the farmland.

There may be some connection among them, but Lucille can't figure it out yet.

"It's here too."

Warfarin beckoned.

Everyone looked up subconsciously, and Warfarin was standing not far away. She had already dug a lot of potholes, and each pit was buried with ore of origin stone.

"So many?" But Lucille's pupils shrank suddenly.

"Under the entire farmland, there are raw source stones?!"

"More than that."

Muyan's voice came from behind them, and everyone turned their heads immediately. Muyan had already circled behind them at some point.

"Under the land other than the farmland, there are also raw origin stone mines buried... This entire castle is built on a huge origin stone mine!"

Mudstone said.

After the investigation just now, she realized that the land that expressed something to her through her Originium skill was not only the land of the farmland, but the land of the entire island was screaming.

"This is impossible! If you are surrounded by activated fossils for a long time, everyone in this castle should become infected... Wait...?!"

But Lucille retorted, and her pupils shrank suddenly in the middle of speaking.

Infected corpses in the basement of the old castle...

Ke Luxie suddenly turned her head and looked at Wu Lian.

There is no source stone crystal on the surface, but Wu Lian and her little Moti also showed abilities different from ordinary people. There is no doubt that Wu Lian is also an infected person.

And this is the truth that originated from the horror legend of the old castle.

Chapter 11 The truth of the legend is so simple

Wu Lian is a withdrawn child.

It's been like this since childhood.

Not now, but when it was smaller and smaller.

Wu Lian's father was a rich man, he was always busy with work, until his mother left.

He was afraid that Wu Lian would leave like his mother, so he locked Wu Lian up.

But he was afraid that Wu Lian would be lonely, so he arranged servants to go around Wu Lian and bought a room full of dolls for Wu Lian.

Wu Lian didn't like this feeling.

The servant's smile was extremely hypocritical in her eyes, and the dolls in the room seemed to be watching her.

So she hugged the fox doll her mother gave her as a whole.

The fox doll her mother gave her was not good-looking, and it was a bit tattered, with cotton sticking its head out of the gaps one after another.

However, this is the only doll her mother gave her.

"That little girl really doesn't know how to be blessed."

"That's right, if I don't have to worry about food, drink, clothes, and housing, I would have burned incense and worshiped my ancestors a long time ago. Who will I show myself?"

"It's really shameless, how long will we have to make up for that stinky little girl?!"

"Be patient, who will let the boss give the most."

"..."

Wu Lian indifferently listened to the servants discussing such topics.

She's used to it.

Wu Lian has learned a lot since she was sensible.

The servants complained meaninglessly behind their backs, and they would face him with a false smile the next morning.

From birth, people wear masks to cover their ugly hearts with beautiful words and hypocritical smiles.

But their desire exceeds reason, and they will reveal their true nature hidden under the mask. They will deceive, be greedy, timid, and hate.

Including Wu Lian herself.

Wu Lian uses her expressionless face as a mask to hide her emotions. She likes to talk to the fox puppet given by her mother, because the puppet can't lie.

until one day--

——Father suddenly said that he would take him to another place.

It was a huge old castle in the middle of a lake.

Although Wu Lian had no intention of running away, her father obviously didn't think so. He found this old castle and brought Wu Lian to live in it. It seemed that he had no job and lived there for several days.

Wu Lian didn't care, after all, living here was no different from her original life, so she continued to live like this.

One night, when she whispered to her doll as usual, her doll actually responded to her.

"Hi, my name is Little Morty."

said the fox doll.

No, it has a name now, and it's called Little Morty.

As Wu Lian thought about it, her smile disappeared instantly, and she returned to a blank expression.

"Hello, little Morty."

She is faking.

The world is not a good place at all.

"It's okay, I won't pretend, because I'm your friend."

Little Morty said.

What it said was so sincere that even Wu Lian, who was used to indifference, couldn't help but blink. She lay on the bed with little Mote in her arms, and little Mote would not resist, and it would just look at it obediently.

Because it's just a doll.

Wu Lian felt that she was crazy, only a lunatic could hear the doll talking.

"Alice thought the same thing when she heard the rabbit talking, why don't you try to imagine yourself in a fairy tale?"

Little Moti asked.

Yes, fairy tales are beautiful, because they are stories written for children.

So she apologized to little Morty, saying she shouldn't have suspected it.

Little Morty won't be angry because they are friends.

"They're crazy, aren't they? They're all lying to you, you're dangerous, but don't worry because I'll protect you."

Little Morty said.

Wu Lian nodded.
