Xiao Hua then opened his diary, but the first ten or so pages were blank. It wasn't until page twenty-one that words began to appear.
Good, it seems that the system also knows how precious time is and just throws away irrelevant daily records.
"There is a rumor in this town that there was a murderer named Shar who killed three cities on the west side of the continent. Amen, may God save those poor souls."
When I mentioned Char, I couldn't help but think of that kind and simple boy with an incredibly strong personality. So many years have passed, I wonder how he is doing now. Among all the children who grew up in a monastery, except for Christine, no one was more sensible than Char. It's really impressive to me. These two people actually grew up together from this monastery at the same time. This is indeed a miracle. In the morning, after listening to rumors, Baile also smiled and said to me, "I don't know how Char and Christine are doing now?"
It has been many years since I last saw them. May they both live happily ever after."
It was a very interesting diary. Xiao Hua suddenly became interested in the two people mentioned in it and eagerly turned to the next page.
After turning over several blank pages, a new piece of text appeared.
"I heard that two more cities were slaughtered. The residents of this small town began to panic, and it is said that the imperial royal family has sent four high-level warriors and five high-level magicians to capture this demon who commits all kinds of evil deeds. May God protect them. I always have a bad feeling."
KEEP GOING!
"Unpredictable premonition actually became a reality. Nine people, except one flying wind element mage escaped, all others were cut in half by that maniac with one sword and died very painfully. Amen."
According to the description of the wind element wizard, the appearance of the serial killer Xial was drawn and a wanted poster was issued throughout the continent. Wanted posters were also posted in this small town. In the morning, I went to visit an old friend in this town and saw that serial killer's face on the wanted poster. I couldn't help but be shocked by lightning bolts! The scar between his eyebrows is not the wound left behind when Xial tried to stop a fight?
Bairo also recognized Xia'er, who was anxiously waiting for me to come back. We couldn't believe that the pure and kind little boy we knew had turned into a ruthless demon who killed without blinking an eye, but it's true, even if there is no scar on his face in the wanted poster, we can be sure he is Xia'er, absolutely not wrong!
Lord, please forgive my selfishness. After consulting with Bairo, we decided to keep this secret in our hearts. We don't know what will happen to the monastery if people find out that the serial killer is from our monastery!"
And then there's more! Xiao Hua hurriedly continued to turn over.
"Several more cities were destroyed, but most people had already fled from the city. I was worried and relieved at the same time. Until now, I still can't figure out why Char has become such a big demon. The army sent by the empire was killed by Char alone. It's unbelievable. What happened to make this pure and kind boy change so much?
Char is getting closer and closer to this town. If the Imperial Army still cannot stop Char, it won't be long before he arrives here. Will Char remember this monastery that has nurtured him and made him grow up when he comes back?
Looking out from the window of the lookout tower, I had no idea what was going on in the distant monastery.
Continue! What's next? Xiao Hua was completely attracted, and suddenly turned over. However, he saw the back of the diary.
No more? Damn it! Xiao Hua hurriedly searched on the table to see if there was another diary.
"What are you looking for?" Floating leaves have already turned over the bookshelf, but there is nothing to be found.
"Diary." Xiao Hua gave "Tanner's Diary" to Floating, and continued to search.
Zhou Xiaorou was responsible for the black box. The box wasn't locked, and she turned it over to find two things inside. Seeing that Piaoling was looking through her diary, she also looked at it out of curiosity.
There was no second copy of the book on the desk, Xiao Hua didn't give up and turned over the bookshelf again. The result is that nothing was found like floating leaves.
This tale has been pilfered from Royal Road. If found on Amazon, kindly file a report.
"This should be the plot background of this copy." Piaoling said confidently, and Zhou Xiaorou nodded.
"I know, I'm very curious about what will happen next. Do you think this ghostly place is caused by that guy called Char?" Xiao Hua said pitifully. He hated people who didn't write endings to their stories!
"It's very likely, but there must be twists and turns!" Zhou Xiaorou has drawn illustrations for many magazines. She felt that things would not be so simple at first sight.
"Finish the copy, follow the plot and you will know the ending."
"Let's go find a plot!" Xiao Hua immediately came to life when he heard it.
"What's in a hurry? Let's see what Xiaoyu found, and then look at which direction the monastery is. Go to the monastery, you will definitely trigger the plot." Piaoling glared at Xiao Hua, who had wasted his time reading about dungeons these days.
"Well, I found a stack of rope ladders in the box and an old red wooden box with a lock." Zhou Xiaorou did not take advantage to step on Xiao Hua. Instead, she took out two things from her package.
The locked wooden box: The box was carefully locked, and it seemed to contain something important or dangerous!
"Unlock it." Floating looked at the property description of the box and threw the box to Xiao Hua, while she held a rope ladder in her hand and walked up to both front and back windows.
The two windows can be reached by rope ladders, but it is needless to do so when there are stairs. I walked back to the front window and looked at the buildings in the distance that were faintly visible in the darkness. I had a general idea of what was going on.
After walking back to the table, Xiao Hua finally opened the lock on the box after failing several times.
System prompt: You have obtained "Dark Energy Enhancement Potion"!
"This seems to be a necessary item for triggering the plot." Xiao Hua showed them a black potion in a glass test tube, and they nodded their agreement.
"I just looked around from both windows. It seems that this watchtower is built on a high cliff, and it will take quite some time to go around to the monastery. The rope ladder should be used for quick access to the monastery." Floating said what he thought.
"Okay, let's see if there is anything else we missed. If not, then go to the monastery next." Xiao Hua nodded and said. Now that he had found the background of the plot, the triggering item for the task, and a way to reach the main scene, these three conditions were met, so it should be no problem to trigger the next step in the plot. But just in case, it was better to be careful.
The three of them separated again and carefully checked the room, making sure there was nothing suspicious. Then they walked down from the lookout tower.
When he reached the iron gate, Xiao Hua used his skills on the lock of the door. After a few tries, he managed to open it successfully.
There is a small forest of about 7-8 meters high in front of the gate. According to the observation of drifting, as long as you go straight through the forest and use rope ladders, you can easily descend from the cliff and reach the abandoned monastery.
The dense leaves of trees blocked the dim white moonlight in the sky. From the gate, it was pitch black inside the small forest and even further away there were only some faint shadows of tree trunks.
The two women hesitated not at all and pushed Xiao Hua to walk in front. They followed him on both sides, one left and one right, with great care.
Uh, he can embrace both sides with his hands open. Unfortunately, Xiao Hua is afraid to do so. Beauty is precious, but life is more valuable!
The forest seemed a little bigger than expected. They walked for more than two minutes, but they still hadn't reached the edge of the cliff. In the tense moment, Piaoling didn't notice that her real eye's aura effect had disappeared. Even if she noticed it, there was nothing to do about it. Real Eye and Stealth were almost the same. After the state disappears, you need to wait 20 seconds before using it again.
There seemed to be no change around, but suddenly a pale skull appeared in front of them within one meter!
"Ah!" Xiao Hua was startled at the same time, and heard two women next to him scream loudly. They all grabbed his arm tightly!
The skull disappeared in an instant, and Xiao Hua wiped his sweat. Damn it, this trick is too effective!
As he was about to comfort two women beside him, Xiao Hua suddenly felt a soft feeling on both arms!
Looking down and looking left and right, Xiao Hua's eyes couldn't help but bulge!
