A group of young people surrounded Ava, singing and dancing to the outside of Lumian's house.
Little Guillaume of the Berry's came to the door and slammed the door.
He is a friend of Lumian, Raymond and Ava. He has curly brown hair, obvious freckles on his face, and blue eyes that are smaller than normal and seem to be always squinting.
With a creak, Aurora appeared in front of their eyes. She rolled up her blond hair and was wearing a very formal frilly light-colored dress with a stand-up collar. She was full of energy and her face was full of brilliance. She didn't seem tired at all after spending most of the night last night and not sleeping well in the morning.
Wearing a laurel wreath made of branches and flowers, Ava stepped forward and sang: "I am the elf of spring" with an amiable and beautiful face "..."
"Sing, dance" Only in this way can we get a good harvest...
"Auror listened quietly, took the leaves, and handed the small pottery pot containing animal fat to Ava.
"Harvest! Harvest!" The young people cheered.
When the "Spring Fairy" parade set off to the next place, little Guillaume of the Bailey family deliberately fell to the end and asked Aurora: "Where is Lumian? I haven't seen him these two days. He won't participate in the four Is it the Tenday celebration?"
Aurora smiled: "He's sick."
"Ill?" Little Guillaume was a little surprised, "He also gets sick?" In his impression, Lumian was always energetic, and at most, he fell and was scratched during a prank, and suffered some minor injuries. hurt.
"If he doesn't get sick, I'd be scared instead." Aurora responded jokingly, "Human beings will get sick." Seeing that the parade of "Spring Fairies" was getting farther and farther away, little Guillaume hurriedly told Aurora He waved his hand: "Tell Lumian that after Lent, I will come to visit him!"
Aurora nodded slightly, watching little Guillaume gallop towards the parade that had stopped in front of the next building. "How is it?" Lumian poked his head out beside his sister.
Auror thought for a while and said, "They are still normal now, but I don't know what will happen when the celebration ends."
Thinking of the **** scene where Ava’s head was beheaded at the end of the celebration, and thinking of the strange atmosphere and events that stimulated the young people in the parade, they either went into a state of madness to send the “Spring Fairy” off, or they were physically and mentally shaken. Completely collapsed and limp on the ground, Lumian felt that no one would be spared.
He silently looked at Ava who was singing at the door of the neighbor's house, and little Guillaume and others who surrounded her, and slowly looked away.
Ryan, Liya, and Valentine also came to the first floor and looked out through the window.
"Next, we have to pay special attention." After the "Spring Fairy" parade team left the area, Lai En said in a deep voice.
Aurora nodded and said, "Okay." Before the celebration was over, they made a quick lunch and filled their stomachs.
When, when, when, the classical wall clock on the first floor rings to represent the sound of twelve o'clock at noon.
Lumian and the others, who had already packed the restaurant, looked at each other, and they couldn't help but tighten the string in their minds.
If all goes well with the Lenten celebrations, it should be over by now.
And if the ceremony of sending the "spring elf" away is really to be completed, Kordu Village does not know what will become of it.
Because it is a semi-underground building, Lumian needs to lift his head slightly to see the situation outside the window: the sky is blue, with white clouds, and the sun is shining brightly, without the dark clouds, fog and dim light he imagined.
Liya took a few steps back and forth near the stove, and the small silver bells on the veil and boots kept tinkling, which was neither intense nor soothing.
Seeing Aurora looking at herself, she opened her mouth to interpret: "We are already in danger, and it is a long-term danger, but it is currently manageable."
Aurora gave a "hmm" and didn't ask any more questions.
Lai En, on the other hand, sighed softly, "It would be great if only this level remained until the twelfth night."
Aurora blinked her eyes, and she was embarrassed to tell the "Dawn Knight" of "Mechanical Heart" not to say similar words, which would easily bring about the opposite effect.
Although Lumian was in a heavy heart, he still had a smile on his face, and replied to Lai En: "There is a proverb in our Da Liege area, 'Good or bad luck depends on fate, and it is determined in advance', no matter how worried we are, we can't change the future. things."
What he didn't say is: the only thing to do is to muster up the courage to face it.
During the intermittent conversation, the five people were wary of possible changes, but no matter the weather or the birds, everything was normal enough to scare them.
After nearly half an hour, they turned their eyes to the door at the same time. There are footsteps approaching. Not long after, the doorbell of Aurora's house was rang, and the jingling sound echoed throughout the first floor.
After exchanging glances with his sister, Lumian cautiously walked to the door, looked out through the peephole. It was a man who rang the doorbell, their neighbor, Luis. Bedek.
"What's the matter?" Lumian opened the door and asked with a smile on his face.
louis. Baedek has black hair and blue eyes, and is in his forties. He was injured while harvesting wheat in the fields when he was young, and only three fingers remain on his left hand.
Wearing a gray-blue jacket and dark-colored trousers, he timidly said: "I want to borrow your oven, it's Lent, and I have to bake some fresh bread for the children."
As he spoke, he lifted the flour sack and kicked the sack of poor-quality coal that was placed next to him.
Lumian hesitated for a moment, then looked back at Aurora.
Aurora nodded and signaled him to let Louis. Bedek came in.
She had already discussed in a low voice with Ryan and the others just now, and planned to observe closely the changes in the villagers after participating in the Lent celebration.
"Just toast? I thought you'd make some bacon for your kids." Lumian moved out of the way, teasing Louis with a smile. Bedek.
louis. Bedek replied cautiously: "If there is a bumper harvest this year, he should make a lot of bacon." His eyes were full of anticipation, as if he felt that a bumper harvest was bound to come.
Go through the door, Louis. Bedek and Aurora greeted each other, walked towards the oven, and got busy on their own.
The more Lumian and the others observed, the more weird they felt.
louis. Bedek didn't even look at En, Liya and Valentine, as if they didn't exist at all!
It's like a person who has turned into a monster is trying hard to pretend that they are normal, but whenever they encounter things beyond their original memory, they will show obvious abnormalities, or simply ignore them.
Lumian instantly recalled Michel, the copy priest. Garrigou: He seemed fine at the beginning, until recently, only the daily behavior of eating, sleeping, etc., and the desire to pray, and everything else was ignored!
Under the watchful eyes of three strangers, Louis. Baedek baked bread like a programmed machine, chatting with Lumian and Aurora from time to time.
This is normal, this is very abnormal. Wait until Louis. Bedek left with the baked bread, and Aurora looked at Ryan and the others, and said with a bitter smile: "Everyone who participated in the Lent celebration should have become like this."
"It's like being replaced by monsters little by little." Liya sighed sincerely.
She no longer deliberately maintained a smile on her face. Lumian has adjusted his mentality and asked a question: "If such a person wants to be saved, how should he be saved?"
"The only thing I can think of is 'purification'."
Valentine replied with a slight sigh, "But if the anomaly has been closely integrated with the human being itself, the final result may be to be purified together."
At this moment, two more villagers passed by the window. One of them is a regular at the old tavern, Pierre who rubbed absinthe from the last and last cycle. Guillaume.
He was chatting with his companions, laughing very well, as if discussing the excitement of the Lenten celebrations.
When they passed the gate of Lumian's house, they all turned their heads and looked into the house with extremely gloomy expressions. After only watching for a second, they looked away, with smiles on their faces again, and continued the topic just now.
If Lumian and the others hadn't been watching the outside when someone was passing by, they definitely wouldn't have noticed the change in expression in that short moment.
The more obvious the laughter from outside, the more depressed they felt. Silence replaced discussion.
After a while, after the two villagers moved away, Aurora sighed and said, "It's not being replaced by monsters little by little. I suspect that the whole village, except us, are all monsters in human skin."
Is this the full Lent celebration? Lumian murmured uncontrollably to himself. Lai En solemnly reminded: "The next day will be more and more difficult, everyone persevere."
From noon to night, they were always on guard against alienated villagers attacking the house, but apart from the occasional person passing by, looking inside with gloomy or cold expressions, nothing happened.
This put a lot of pressure on Aurora and the others. Ryan looked around and said gently: "It's still a few days until the twelfth night, don't be so nervous.
"After dinner, we'll divide into two groups and take turns to rest. We must maintain a good mental state." With such an experienced, powerful Extraordinary with a calm personality, both Aurora and Lumian are obviously calm. some. Twelve o'clock at night.
Aurora and Lumian, who had finished their night duty, woke up Liya and the others and returned to the bedroom.
Lumian glanced at the door and said in a low voice, "That mysterious lady hasn't shown up. Should I find a chance to go out tomorrow and visit the old tavern?"
"In the current village, everyone may be a monster. Once they go out, it will be very dangerous."
Aurora didn't quite agree.
She thought for a while and said, "Wait a little longer, if the mysterious lady doesn't show up tomorrow morning, I will accompany you to the old tavern in the afternoon."
Lumian hesitated, but nodded.
He planned to discuss with his sister tomorrow morning whether to ask Lai En and the others for help, and the five of them acted together.
In the bedroom filled with thin gray mist, Lumian opened his eyes. He turned over and sat up, checked his body, and found that the serious injury before had completely healed.
Just as he was about to express his feelings, he suddenly heard the sound of "Dinglingling" and "Dinglingling".
"Someone is ringing the doorbell?" Lumian subconsciously flashed such a thought, and habitually went down to the first floor to see who came to visit.
As soon as he took a step, he suddenly froze. This is in the ruins of dreams! How could someone come to visit?
