Kill through American horror, starting from the witches' coven.

[Confusion] is similar to [Mind Control]. Martha followed the Mother of Darkness away in a daze.

And [Forgotten Prison] is the ability that makes people forget their memories that Robb is very passionate about.

The Dark Mother feeds on the forgotten ones.

Usually its targets are children.

Of course, it’s not that you can’t eat other things.

For example, Robb's unlucky client Tom.

The reason why he was forgotten was most likely because he discovered that something was wrong with the Mother of Darkness, which led to his being silenced.

Martha is the next target of the Mother of Darkness.

In order to enjoy the other person, it first cast [Forgetful Prison] to make everyone forget about Martha, and then leisurely took away the delicious food.

Unfortunately, it met Robb.

After killing him, Robb learned this ability.

Information related to [Forgotten Prison] flooded into his mind.

Simply put, Robb needs to prepare a photo of the forgotten target and place the photo on the altar of the ceremony through the corresponding steps.

In this way, [Forgotten Prison] will take effect, and the target will be forgotten by friends and family. Not only the memory, but also every bit of life will be erased.

Just like how Robb couldn't find any trace of Tom in his room before.

To some extent, [Forgotten Prison] can be regarded as a powerful weapon in the field of causality.

It still has flaws, though.

For example, [Forgotten Prison] is more aimed at ordinary people, and it is difficult for a powerful person like Robb to be affected by it.

In addition, if the Altar of Forgotten is destroyed, the people who were originally forgotten will be remembered again.

"So the Dark Mother also has an altar."

Robb's face moved and he subconsciously looked into the tree hole.

Just at this moment, the ghost bride and the evil spirit flew out of the tree hole, pointed at the tree hole, indicating that there were other things inside.

The Mother of Darkness had been eliminated, so Robb, who no longer had to worry about being shot from behind, did not act pretentiously. He simply crawled into the tree hole, ignoring the filth and stench inside, and quickly crawled inside.

Two minutes later, he came to a rather large underground cave.

After pulling apart the vines hanging from his head, Robb took a few steps and saw the body of the Mother of Darkness, which had been chopped into pieces by sharp blades.

Boom~

He stretched out his hand and summoned a small ball of fire to surround him. With the light of the fire, he continued to move deeper into the darkness.

Click.

Suddenly, something crushed under Robb's feet.

He moved his foot away and looked down, and saw a small leg bone.

Robb frowned as he guessed what it was at a glance.

He continued to walk deeper, seeing more and more human bones and tattered clothes along the way.

At the deepest point, there was a strange statue with candles lit around it and vines and antlers in the center.

This is the altar used by the Mother of Darkness to cast [Forgotten Prison].

Arriving in front of the altar, Robb looked at the photos hanging on the antler vine statue.

In one of the photos, a familiar figure appeared before his eyes.

It was Tom.

He stands in the center of the photo, and on his left and right are his father Walker and his separated mother.

"A father will never forget his son, but supernatural powers can."

Recalling that Walker had vowed that he had no son, Robb sighed.

Then, he found a photo on the altar of Martha, who was missing a front tooth, happily posing with her parents; and a happy photo of the neighbor woman, her husband, and their children, whose skins had been changed by the Mother of Darkness.

There are several more.

Each one represents a broken and incomplete family.

Robb watched all this in silence.

Although he had no good feelings towards America, his initial goal was simply to survive and improve himself, which is why he chose to eliminate one ghost after another.

But he had to admit that standing in front of this sin-filled altar, even if there was no reward, killing the Mother of Darkness made him feel genuinely happy.

You say you can even harm those 2B adults who have all the five vices.

He chose to learn from that twine ball and set his sights on children like Martha, who had just come into this world not long ago.

Anyone with a slightly normal mind would find it unbearable to see those tiny bones along the way.

Robb felt that his trip was necessary.

Boom~~

He glanced around, and all the candles surrounding the altar suddenly shot up into the sky.

In a flash, the rising flames ignited the statue above his head.

The vines were burned to ashes with a crackling sound.

The photos hanging on it also melted.

In the end, as Robb watched, the entire altar was completely engulfed in flames.

at the same time.

At the moment when the photos on the altar were burned clean.

In the resort a few miles away.

Walker, who was drinking alone out of boredom, suddenly stopped pouring the wine.

"Tom..."

He said this in a daze, a lot of dusty memories flooding into his mind.

Bang!

The bottle fell to the ground and the wine spilled all over the floor.

Completely ignoring all this, Walker anxiously ran to his son's bedroom on the second floor.

"Tom!"

Walker yelled, but no one responded.

Only the photos of Tom and him hanging on the wall watched all this quietly.

the other side.

Martha's parents also suddenly realized.

"Dear, have you seen Martha?"

“I haven’t seen it all day today.”

"Could Martha have gotten lost?"

"Hurry! We'll go find it now!"

"..."

Soon, the entire resort became bustling.

Chapter 253 Chapter Robb's Good Intentions

After burning the altar clean with a fire, Robb continued his efforts and turned the Dark Mother who caused all these tragedies into ashes.

After finishing all this, he walked back slowly.

Anyway, the matter has been resolved, so I don't need to be as anxious as before.

However, soon, a call from the unknown interrupted his rhythm.

"What's going on? Is Penny in danger?"

Robb's brows tightened, and his body suddenly moved, running towards Penelope at full speed.

At the same time, part of the power separated from his body and in an instant, it fell on a mirror.

……

Push the time forward a little.

While Robb was fighting the Dark Mother, Penelope was running out of the forest with Martha in her arms.

Time passed bit by bit.

Although carrying Martha added to the burden, Penelope thought that they should run out of the forest by now.

When Robb took her to stop the Mother of Darkness, they had just entered the forest not long ago.

But the problem is that we haven’t reached the end yet.

Looking at the lush and straight trees in front of her, Penelope stopped, looked around, and asked in confusion: "Am I lost?"

"Impossible!" She shook her head.

She had been running in a straight line. Even if she deviated a little along the way, she should have left by now.

How is it possible to get lost?

Penelope turned to look at Martha in her arms and asked, "Martha, do people often get lost in this forest we are in?"

Martha said crisply, "No one said anyone got lost in the forest. Sister, are we lost?"

"maybe."

Penelope looked at a symbol similar to an inverted triangle carved into a tree.

She had seen this symbol several times along the way and thought it was a signpost indicating direction, but she tried it once and it was useless.

"What should I do now? Call Robb?" Penelope pondered.

After returning from New York, Robb told her about [True Name Summoning] and asked her to carry a mirror with her and summon him if she was in danger.

Although she is different from witches like Zoe and Madison who possess powerful magical powers, the little spirituality in Penelope's body is enough to complete the entire ceremony.

Penelope looked around at the endless forest and was about to make up her mind.

"Cough! Cough! Cough!"

A cough suddenly occurred.

"Someone's here!" Martha said immediately.

Penelope looked in the direction of the voice and saw a white-haired old man walking slowly towards her.

"It's the old man who has been fishing at the pier!" Martha also saw the person coming and recognized his identity at once.

"The old man fishing?"

Penelope thought back and she had the impression that there was indeed an old man sitting on the dock fishing.

She didn't care at the time, she just looked at his back and moved away.

Since Martha, who has lived here all her life, said so, Penelope naturally believed it.

However, thanks to Robb's teaching, she did not completely let down her guard. She quietly reached behind her and asked the old man, "Excuse me, do you know which direction to go back to the resort? My sister and I are lost here."

The old man seemed to hear nothing and just walked towards here silently.

Worried that the old man might be hard of hearing, Penelope repeated the sentence loudly.

The old man still didn't answer.

Penelope felt something was wrong. She held Martha and backed away, saying coldly, "Sir, stop! My sister and I are very scared now and don't want strangers to get close to us."
