Man in the old days, Lord of the Seven Sins

Chapter 121 Look into my eyes, don't be afraid (4k)

In the pale moonlight.

The pale Pavel stood in front of the carriage.

His trembling body seemed to be about to kneel down to Rhodes.

Old Moore got Rhode's signal and took the opponent's arm.

Rhodes stepped forward and asked in a low voice, "Sheriff Paul, what happened?"

"Please, save my daughter!!!"

There seemed to be a look of horror on Paul's face. The scene he saw in the room just now made him feel terrified.

"Your daughter, what's the matter?"

Rhodes narrowed his eyes, and what he could perceive from Paul's face, he should have experienced something that extremely stimulated him.

"I"

Paul didn't know how to explain it, but he did see it just now, his daughter
"Please save my daughter!!!"

While speaking, Paul tried to grab Rhode's hand, but was pushed away by Old Moore, and at the same time, a shotgun in Old Moore's hand was pressed against Paul's stomach.

"Don't move around, just talk about it if you have anything to say."

The cold threat finally made Paul calm down briefly.

He took a deep breath and looked at Rhodes with a puzzled expression.

"Mr. Rhodes, I just... just saw my daughter in the mirror, as if she had a black cat's skin on her head."

"Wear a black cat's skin?"

"Yes. It's all my fault. I should have thought about it. Since she came back from Sir Wisfe's castle, she has been in a bad state. I didn't take care of her emotions. I always thought that she It's nonsense. She told me what happened in the castle"

While speaking, Paul told Rhodes everything he heard from his daughter about what happened in Sir Wysf's Castle. Of course, Old Moore on the side also listened to the whole process.

With bright eyes, he recorded in the small notebook he carried with him.

Here it comes, here it comes, this is the legendary adventure I've been waiting for.

As a legendary witness, Old Moore was not able to witness the second half of the last operation. This time, he will personally accompany Mr. Rhodes in everything he says.

Rhodes rubbed his chin, and after a short thought, he decided to agree to Paul's request. The matter of Paul's daughter is likely to be related to the truth about Sir Wisf's castle.

Maybe, I can discover some secrets from her.

"Well, Paul, do you have any money?"

"Yes. Yes"

Paul took out his wallet from his pocket in a panic, and a 1 kroner coin fell to the ground.

Rhodes picked up the coin.

"I'll charge you 1 crown, and I accept your commission."

"But the ugly words are up front. If you can save your daughter, you have to understand your daughter's situation first, and you have to be mentally prepared."

Rhodes' deep words echoed in Paul's ears.

Paul nodded silently. As a security officer, he also knew that his daughter's current situation was very dangerous.

And it's likely that this has happened long before.

Knowing some demon deeds, Paul felt that his daughter's chance of surviving was very low. He was actually in a hurry to go to the doctor at this time, and wanted to find a miracle from the Mr. Rhodes that his cousin said.

What if his daughter can be cured like her cousin?
"Thank you, I'll be ready."

In a gloomy, dark corridor.

The dim light gradually turned on, and the figures of Rhodes and others swayed on the wall, blurred and distorted.

"No! Don't come here! You bloody rats!! Father! Father! Help me!!"

The nightmare disturbed the girl on the bed, causing her to sit up suddenly from the bed, her eyes filled with horror.

"Oh! Don't be afraid, my daughter, Kiss. ​​Father will always be by your side to protect you."

Paul put the kerosene lamp on the table at the door, rushed to the daughter who woke up from the bed, hugged her in his arms, patted her on the back, and comforted her in a low voice.

"Father, I saw it. I saw the mice crawling out of the wall in my dream. One after another, they suddenly fell from the holes in the ceiling, and they all fell on my bed. Scared. So scared."

Keith sobbed softly.

Rhodes noticed that there were some blood-red threads in Qiss' eyes, and he narrowed his eyes.

"Mr. Paul, I need to make some inquiries about your daughter."

Rhodes' deep words interrupted the father-daughter relationship between the father and daughter.

Paul stood up in embarrassment, and introduced to the dazed daughter: "Kiss, don't be afraid, this is Dr. Rhodes, he is the person with superb medical skills that Dad's cousin often mentioned in his letters. .”

"Father! I'm not sick! I'm really not sick!"

Qisi looked at Rhodes in disgust, her eyes full of resistance.

Obviously, this seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl in the rebellious period didn't feel that she was sick.

"Be obedient, Qisi, just ask some simple questions, if there are no questions, don't be afraid."

Paul pleaded in a low voice. He had actually seen another ugly side of his daughter in the mirror, and he really wanted his daughter to return to her original state.

"Well father, but you must stay with me."

Qisi hugged her father's arm. She was still wary of Rhodes. Although the man in front of her was very handsome, her mother said that there was never a good-looking man. The thing is to use sweet words to deceive girls' hearts.

Only a fat, simple and honest person like my father is the best marriage partner.

Rhodes looked at the two people who had communicated well, moved a chair, sat on the bedside, took out his notebook, and prepared to ask.

Old Moore was waiting at the door, holding his iron pot and sipping wine. He rubbed his red nose from time to time, and looked at the darkness around him vigilantly. The butcher's intuition made him faintly feel that there seemed to be something hidden in the dark.

"Kiss, look into my eyes, you can call me Rhodes or Doctor, now, I have some questions to ask you."

Rhodes looked straight into Qiss' eyes and whispered.

"Okay, Dr. Rhodes."

Qi Si looked into Rhode's eyes, and she was inevitably a little nervous. This was the first time she had looked at a man other than her father for so long.

"Did you just have a dream?"

"Yes."

"In your dream, you saw some mice."

"Yes."

"Did you see them drop one by one from the hole in the ceiling onto your bed?"

"Yes, they fell on me one by one, densely filling the bed."

"Very well, your point of view is a third-person point of view, then, who are you in the dream?"

"I"

Qisi looked at Rhodes' deep black pupils, and suddenly realized that she was obviously lying on the bed, so why could she see herself lying on the bed in her dream?Own
"Don't be afraid, look into my eyes, and think carefully about what the person looking at you on the bed looked like."

Qi Si looked into Rhodes' eyes, and suddenly found herself as if she had returned to a dream.

She stood at the end of the bed, looking at the self on the bed who was watching the rats falling from the hole in the ceiling in horror.

Who am I?

Qisi struggled and lowered her head, and saw a pair of hairy hands
Hands covered with black down.
Qisi's breathing suddenly became rapid.

Her complexion became paler and paler.

Rhodes frowned.

"Kiss, don't be afraid, face yourself, who is that person looking at you in the dream?"

"me."

Keith's tone seemed flustered.

She's trying to figure out who she is.

She walked towards the mirror in the room step by step.

But because of the black fluff on her hands, she was afraid of what she really was.

"Kiss, believe in yourself, face yourself, don't be afraid, face yourself bravely"

At this moment, Qisi in the dream stood in front of the mirror and saw her true face clearly.

An ugly monster with a rotting black cat face!

"Ahhhhh!!!!"

A scream suddenly sounded.

Qi Si covered her face. At this moment, a circle of black cat fur appeared on her face. The sticky and ugly appearance made Paul's eyes widen. He subconsciously pulled out the pistol at his waist.

"Damn monster!!! Get out of my daughter's body quickly!!!"

Paul shouted emotionally.

Rhodes stood up and grabbed Paul's wrist.

"Don't move around, don't scare her!!! She is my patient, and she is also your daughter, she can still be saved now!!!"

Rhodes yelled at Paul in a low voice.

Paul immediately lowered his head and silently put away his gun.

His emotions completely collapsed the moment Keith turned into a monster with a black cat face, and he even thought about shooting the monster to death.

But fortunately, Rhodes prevented the tragedy from happening in time.

"Kiss, look into my eyes and don't be afraid."

Rhodes walked up to Qiss and held her shoulders with both hands.

"Look into my eyes and don't be afraid."

The ugly black cat's head slowly raised her head, and Qisi's eyes were full of fear and fear at the moment, and at the same time she showed a look of fear but longing to be saved.

"Look into my eyes and think carefully about what you went through before you got home."

"I've been through what I've been through"

On the dark plains.

Qi Si is holding her package and is struggling to run towards home.

In the dark, quiet darkness, something seemed to be watching him.

Keith looked around anxiously.

At this moment, the conversations she heard in front of the attic sounded again in her mind.

Beside her ears, the sound of gnawing and biting like rodents in the attic seemed to echo again, and the sound of sharp teeth rubbing bones.

In the shadows ahead, there seemed to be a creature crawling on the ground, and those voices came from there.

Qisi suddenly squatted down, trying not to attract the other party's attention.

This is the only way to go home, and she can only go this way.

Keep encouraging yourself in your heart, you can do it.

Qisi moved her steps carefully, trying not to be discovered by the other party.

She successfully passed the thing that was eating certain creatures from the grass on the side, but Qisi still didn't dare to stand up, she was afraid of being discovered by that thing.

She could only move step by step, step by step carefully.

I don't know when it started, the sound of staggering and moving and the rustling of the grass being brought up by myself have been echoing in my ears.

But don't know why.

Keith could always hear the rustling sound echoing in her ears, as if it was an accent.

Until Qisi came to the Sanyuan Arch Bridge.

The evening wind blew away the dark clouds in the sky.

In the pale moonlight.

On the three-element arch bridge, two shadows were projected.

Kiss's, and the one behind Kiss.

Qisi's pupils suddenly shrank at this moment, and her body became rigid.

The sound that echoed in my ears from the beginning was not an illusion, but something really followed.

It's just that the other party kept doing the same movements as her for some unknown purpose.

After several deep breaths, Qisi mustered up the courage in her heart, and turned her head slowly and stiffly.

In the next second, she was stunned by the terrifying creature under the pale moonlight.

The head with the black cat fur was tilted, staring at her firmly.

"Damn it! Those rats are here again! It's clear that as long as she is agreed, why! Why! Why! Do you have to be so greedy again and again!?"

"Could it be that this time as long as the residents of the small town of Bath can satisfy you!?"

"Got it!! Got it!! You bloody rats!!!"

A muffled moan echoed in the darkness.

After an unknown amount of time, Qi Si Youyou woke up and found that she was intact. She hurried home.

"I see."

Rhodes listened to Qisi's description with a solemn expression.

According to some cases recorded in Robert's notes, it is obvious that he has now encountered a special kind of demon.

And that demon was probably summoned by the secret society that Sir Wiasf believed in after performing some weird rituals, and it was very likely that it was possessed by Sir Wiasf.

"Mr. Rhodes, my daughter, is there any help?"

After listening to his daughter's narration, Paul anxiously asked Rhodes.

He wished he could shoot himself. Back then, he had secretly wanted to covet Sir Wiasf's property, so he sent his daughter to Sir Wiasf's castle as a maid.

"Don't worry, in the current situation, your daughter's symptoms are still stable for the time being. As long as you can find her face, it is possible to help her restore her original appearance."

Rhodes whispered.

He had just examined Kiss's face under the black cat skin, completely missing the human face, hidden by the ugly cat face.

"I'll go to Sir Wisf's castle. You stay here and take care of your daughter and don't go anywhere. If you still want your daughter to live, don't leave her side until I come back."

Rhodes pulled Paul out of the room and whispered in his ear.

"Understood, I will definitely do it!"

Paul said solemnly.

"Thank you very much, Mr. Rhodes."

"I have accepted your commission, I am just doing what I can."

Watching Paul back to the room.

Rhodes glanced at the darkness on the left.

"Mr. Rhodes, do you feel it too?"

Old Moore's deep voice rang in Rhode's ear.

"Well, it's waiting for us to go over."

"So that's what it meant. Old Mole thought it was just trying to scare old Mole, me, an old man?"

Old Moore wiped his red nose, and in his blurred vision, he could vaguely see a strange head wearing a black cat's skin appeared on the dark window glass on the left.

"Old Moore, aren't you afraid?"

Rhodes asked suspiciously.

"Sir, Old Moore is a crazy old Moore. Old Moore also went to the battlefield to avenge his son."

Old Moore stared at the monster on the glass, and at this moment, there was a hint of murderous intent in his confused eyes.

Rhodes had a smile on his face.

He didn't expect that this happened in old Moore's experience.

In fact, one of the rumors about the Battle of Pajavaro recorded in Robert's notes was from Old Morgan.

On the wasteland, a demon that was dismembered like an animal had a butcher knife stuck in its heart.
