The Villain Saint is my secondary account

However, a fierce light flashed in Ye Xiao's eyes, and at the same time, he raised his hand and swung his knife.

A true swordsman will never forget to take his sword even when he goes to take a shower.

Several intestines broke, and the alchemical servant let out a shrill howl. The tiny arms attached to the metal body immediately spread out five fingers, revealing sharp fingertips and stabbed towards Ye Xiao.

But before the claw touched Ye Xiao, the internal organs wrapped in its stomach suddenly burst into blood.

Ye Xiao dodged and easily avoided the spurting blood.

The alchemist servant fell to the ground, and the old mayor, seeing that the situation was not good, suddenly ran into the house.

Ye Xiao immediately grabbed the staff behind him and muttered, "Frost Cloud!"

White mist gushed out from the tip of the staff, forming a layer of ice on the ground. The old man who was running slipped and fell to the ground with a thud.

"Oh no, this guy is in such bad shape that he might die from the fall." Ye Xiao hurriedly ran up, but only saw a few gears rolling out from the old man's body.

"Murder. Murder." The spherical machine flying in the air pointed at Ye Xiao with the bloody gear that had not yet been assembled, and shouted without emotion, "Kill..."

Ye Xiao directly hit the top of the brass lump with his staff, and the spherical machine was smashed into a groove and fell to the ground, emitting some green smoke.

Then Ye Xiao used the tail of his magic wand to lift up the body of the "old mayor" and turned him over. He saw the old face that was tilted all over after hitting the ground, and under the broken skin was a bunch of delicate parts.

"What the hell is this?" Ye Xiao frowned and looked at the lifeless person lying on the table, "...Abbott!?"

Although his face was covered in blood, Ye Xiao still recognized the other person at a glance.

But at this time, the poor gentleman's face was distorted, his eyes were wide open, and his mouth was open, lying on the table motionless.

Just at this moment, the sound of wheels turning came from outside the door again.

Bad.

Such a big commotion would obviously attract other servants and guards.

Ye Xiao still hasn't figured out what the hell is going on in Hope Town. It would be bad if he were to fight against the alchemy puppets in the entire town because of it.

His eyes swept across the entire room. This place, which looked like an operating room, did not have any windows, so Ye Xiao's gaze was fixed on a long cabinet in the corner.

While the other alchemy servants had not yet entered the door, he took two steps at a time and rushed towards the cabinet, flashing in as the door opened and closed.

A group of alchemist servants and guards rushed in from the door, and when they saw the corpse on the ground, they immediately scattered to look for suspicious people.

It's really hard to hold back. When I wanted to find a toilet, I couldn't find any. Now when I don't want to see them, so many of them appear.

Ye Xiao held the hilt of the knife and observed the actions of the alchemy guards outside through the tiny grid above the cabinet door.

They circled around the room, and finally, a guard walked up to the cabinet door where Ye Xiao was.

Sure enough, it's not that easy. Ye Xiao cursed inwardly, ready to chop out with a knife the moment the door opened.

However, at the moment the cabinet door opened, a pair of pale little hands suddenly stretched out from the top of the cabinet and gently covered the gap on the guard's helmet.

What the hell is this! ?

Ye Xiao's heart skipped a beat. There was someone above him the whole time and he didn't even notice? ?

The guard with his helmet covered stood in front of Ye Xiao for a while, then actually closed the cabinet door and left as if he hadn't seen anything.

Chapter 41 Hidden Behind Hope

Watching the alchemy guard outside the cabinet dragging the mayor's body away, Ye Xiao was still worried.

He raised his head slowly, but there was nothing on the pitch-black cabinet top.

The two little hands that just appeared seemed to be his illusion, but that was true, but the reaction of the alchemist guard could not be false.

Ye Xiao pushed open the cabinet door, and Abbott, who had been disemboweled on the long table, was also taken away, leaving a shocking pool of blood.

The room was still filled with dim light, but it no longer gave people a sense of warmth, only weirdness and bloodiness.

He quietly approached the door. There were many alchemy guards patrolling in the corridor outside the door.

This put Ye Xiao in a difficult position. He couldn't stay in this room forever, but without any assassin skills, he couldn't find a way to get back to the room by passing through so many guards.

What worried him even more was that if the guards realized something and started checking for outsiders, his absence from the room would likely be discovered.

Just as I was struggling, I felt a cold touch suddenly from my fingertips.

Ye Xiao subconsciously retracted his hand and lowered his head, only to see a little girl with long light blonde hair staring at him blankly with her big green eyes.

The girl looked like an exquisite little porcelain doll, with a childish look, and was probably about four or five years old.

The face seemed familiar to Ye Xiao, but he could not remember where he had seen this little girl.

The other party didn't say anything, but just raised one hand above his head, as if he wanted to hold Ye Xiao's hand.

Ye Xiao hesitated for a moment, then held the girl's hand doubtfully. His fingertips felt unusually cold again, which was not the temperature that a normal person would feel.

The next moment, the girl took Ye Xiao out of the room.

The alchemist guard stationed at the door seemed to be blind, and his eyes assembled from optical lenses just watched Ye Xiao walk past him in a swagger.

The tall alchemical servants and armored guards along the way seemed like extras in the performance and ignored the two of them.

Ye Xiao followed the little girl, feeling confused but not daring to speak out. After all, just because these alchemy guards were blind didn't necessarily mean they were deaf as well.

He thought the little girl could take him back to the room, but he ended up walking through the corridor, down the stairs, leaving the town hall and coming to a deserted street where only the alchemist guards were patrolling.

Ye Xiao tried to pull the little girl's hand back, but it was very gentle. However, after being pulled, the little girl still walked in the direction she originally went, very stubborn.

Ye Xiao had no choice but to follow.

The roadside was still covered with ever-fading flowers. The two walked up along the clean and tidy white stone path. The lights gradually dimmed and the surrounding woods became increasingly dense.

It was as if a cold wind was blowing, causing Ye Xiao, who was lightly dressed, to shiver.

"Where are you taking me?" Ye Xiao asked softly, but got no response.

After many twists and turns, the little girl finally stopped at the end of the path that had become narrow and dark.

In front of me is a small house that is very different from the gorgeous style of the fairy tale town. The white-gray walls and dark black tiles make it look simple and crude.

There was a slightly rusty metal doorplate nailed to the door. Ye Xiao walked forward and gently read the words on it: "The Noyce family"?

He lowered his head with some confusion and tried to ask the little girl, but was shocked to find that there was no one around him.

The strange girl has disappeared.

hiss……

In the lonely hut in the dark forest, the cold wind blew past, and the chill in the air became more and more creepy.

Ye Xiao stroked his chin and slowly pushed open the door of the cabin.

The first thing that caught my eye was the blazing fire in the fireplace. The flickering flames illuminated the not-so-spacious living room. Several fur chairs and wooden tables were placed in the living room, and a hunting bow with creases hung on the wall.

Ye Xiao walked around to the front and saw a book with a slightly old cover and a pair of hand-sewn button dolls on the chair.

He walked forward and flipped through it, and found that it was actually a church handout.

There are believers of light in this place too? What does that mean? Are they undercover agents hiding in the Institute of Industrial Design?

Ye Xiao glanced through the lecture notes and found that the content was not much different from the one in Ella's hand. It seemed that both were the currently commonly used versions.

There was a pair of rag dolls that looked very similar next to them, one of which had a button eye not sewn on, placed aside.

The stitches are a bit rough, and it's obvious that the person who sewed the doll is not very familiar with needlework.

But this was only the few pieces of information Ye Xiao could see. He still didn't understand what the meaning of such a small house hidden in the dense forest was.

Just as he was thinking, the melodious nursery rhyme rang out again.

It was still as plaintive as ever, but it was even more creepy in this quiet and deserted little house at night.

"Woo...Woo..."

It wasn't like crying, there was really a kind of mournful crying mixed in with the singing.

The source seemed to be in the inner bedroom. Ye Xiao swallowed, walked forward, and found that the bedroom door was half-open, revealing a gap two fingers wide.

It's really hard to hold back. In my last life, I fought against monsters, goblins and barbarians during my adventure, but why do I feel like all I encounter in this life are weird things?

At this time, Ye Xiao still felt like complaining in his heart.

Through the crack in the door, Ye Xiao saw a figure that seemed to be a woman kneeling on the ground, with long light golden curly hair draped behind her, and her slightly shaking shoulders seemed to be the source of her crying.

The other person had her back to Ye Xiao, so Ye Xiao could only vaguely see that there seemed to be someone lying in front of the woman, but he couldn't see the specific appearance clearly.

The only thing that could be seen was a pool of bright red blood flowing through the cracks in the floor, spilling over the bed and under the wooden cabinet.

For some reason, Ye Xiao vaguely felt that the perspective he was observing through the crack in the door seemed a little weird, as if there was an extra layer of distorted filter, and the proportions of both people and furniture inside were much higher than from his own perspective.

The blonde woman in the bedroom cried for a while, then raised her head and let out a heart-wrenching cry to one side.

Although the voice was a little blurry, Ye Xiao still heard some of it clearly:

"You blasphemer, you will be punished!!!"

"You don't understand..." There was actually a male voice speaking in the room. However, due to the angle, Ye Xiao couldn't see the man who was roughly on the right side of the door frame. "God has abandoned..."

"Mad man! Mad man!! Ugh... Then I curse you... My blood... I will curse you forever!!!"

The blonde woman stood up suddenly, holding a sharp dagger in her hand.

"It's no use, you're just a priest, you...no!"

The man's voice suddenly became panicked, and the woman suddenly stabbed the dagger in her hand into her throat.

The spurting blood immediately dyed the cabinet next to it red. The man who had been on the right side immediately rushed forward and hugged the woman.

Only then did Ye Xiao see the man's face clearly. He was wearing white armor stained with blood, and his face was completely stained red with blood. He could barely make out his short dark brown hair and a pair of bloodshot brown pupils.

Templar Knights?

Although the style was a bit old, Ye Xiao still recognized the almost iconic armor style at a glance.

The man held the lifeless woman in his arms. The woman's head drooped, with her face facing the direction of the door.

That beautiful and familiar face made Ye Xiao's eyes widen.

Freya!?

No...that's not right. Although they look alike, this woman obviously looks more mature.

Having said that, Ye Xiao then realized that the little girl he had just met seemed to be somewhat similar in appearance to the candidate saint who had been traveling with him not long ago.

Ye Xiao was still thinking, but the man who was holding the woman in his arms was looking towards the crack in the door.

A cruel and crazy look immediately glared at Ye Xiao who was hiding behind the door.

Chapter 42: The Pilgrimage Festival Begins

Oops.

Ye Xiao immediately put his hand on the hilt of the knife and took a few steps back.

The next second, the half-open bedroom door suddenly opened, but the expected crazy paladin did not appear, and there was only silent darkness in front of him.

Ye Xiao took out the staff behind him and turned on the fluorescent spell, illuminating the tidy but empty bedroom.

There was no corpse, no bloodstains, and a neat quilt was placed on the clean bed, as if it was still waiting for guests.

"What kind of haunted house is this?" Ye Xiao's mouth twitched. He hated such unknown things the most.

There didn't seem to be anything else to see here, so it was best to leave quickly while the guards might not have searched his room yet.

Fortunately, when he left, nothing jumped out of the little house to stop him from leaving.

After walking out of the gate, Ye Xiao took a last look back at the lonely little house hidden in the dense forest, then started walking up the winding path.

There were still some alchemist guards wandering around the street. Without the little girl's help, Ye Xiao could only sneak back to the town hall on his own.

Fortunately, the patrolling guards in the town hall are no longer as dense as before, so I won’t go into the details of the effort involved.

When he returned to his room panting, he locked the door and looked at his dirty clothes. He had no choice but to take them off and then wipe his body with the towel in the space ring.

Forget about taking a shower, at least he didn't want to leave the room until daytime.

After changing clothes and lying on the bed, the tired Ye Xiao was finally able to close his eyes.

……

The next day.
