Chapter 763 Late-night attack


    Night falls.


    As the last ray of sunlight disappeared at the end of the horizon, the whole room fell into a dim light. Mashu lit up the oil lamp and placed it aside, while Duanmu Huai stood by the window and looked out.


    The whole town seemed to have gradually become quiet with the arrival of night. The town seemed to still maintain its previous habits, making it sunrise and sunset. When the sun sets, the people at work began to go home. When the night completely came, the whole town seemed dead silent, with almost no voices, and there was no light on the dim road. Only the lights in the houses wherever they could see brought a breath of life.


    The breath of life...?


    Duanmuhuai stood in front of the window and stared outside. After coming to this town, he also tried to feel it in his own way, but for Duanmuhuai, he did not notice anything unusual in this town. Although you can see with your eyes that this kind of backward town cannot exist in a modern civilized society, when you feel it outside of your eyes, you only feel that everything is normal.


    Perhaps this is the suspicion that Medea noticed.


    “Didi, Didi…”


    At this moment, Maxiu''s communicator suddenly rang, Duanmu Huai looked at Maxiu, who hurriedly turned on the communicator, and then Doctor Roman emerged from it.


    "Oh, I really didn''t expect it was night on your side. Did something happen?"


    "What''s wrong?"


    "Just just now, Chaldes detected a special point, and I wonder if you would know something."


    "Special? Here?"


    “Yeah… That’s right.”


    Dr. Roman looked at the time again and nodded.


    “Indeed, it’s where you are.”


    "We are investigating and will be done after the investigation is clear."


    "Okay, then please guys..."


    "etc."


    "Is there anything else?"


    "How long has it been passed by your side?"


    "Do you mean time?"


    Faced with Duanmu Huai''s inquiry, Dr. Roman was stunned for a moment.


    “It’s only one day.”


    "Okay, I get it."


    Duanmu Huai nodded and signaled Maxiu to close the communication.


    One day in the sky and one year on the earth? What you want to say is just a matter of time.


    "What''s going on? MASTER?"


    On the contrary, Mashu was a little confused.


    "Doctor Roman said that Chaldes has only been one day? But it''s been a year since we''ve passed?"


    "This is normal. The time flows between the two sides are not equal. For Chaldes, as future observers, they mainly observe important time nodes. Just like you read a book, the book will only record important time and dates, rather than recording every day''s matters in detail like writing a diary."


    Duanmuhuai shrugged, and the same is true for story books. For example, if you want to write about a group of adventurers going deep into the cave, you must be in danger, and you won’t write about everything in detail that they have dinner at 3 o’clock, quarrel at 4 o’clock, go to the bathroom at 5 o’clock, investigate at 6 o’clock, and drink at 7 o’clock...


    But for those who are in the "book", they can only follow the time step by step.


    It is impossible to run from autumn to spring as soon as you open your eyes, and you are not a famous detective.


    “That is, is this an important special point?”


    “At least it is the kind that is worthy of observation by Chaldeans.”


    Duanmuhuai said as he looked out the window.


    "Oh, the good show is about to begin."


    "Why?"


    Mathus realized that the dark town outside the window was now red by the flames. She stood up and looked out the window, then was shocked - outside the window, hundreds of town residents holding torches surrounded the entire hotel, and they were making noise loudly, as if very indignant.


    "What happened?"


    “We’ll find out soon.”


    Duanmu Huai snorted lightly and spoke. Sure enough, soon the two of them heard heavy footsteps outside. Then, their door was kicked open, and then several men dressed like sheriffs walked in with spears and hatches in hand. They stared at Mathue angrily, as if they saw their father-killing enemy.


    "What do you want to do?"


    Looking at the residents of the town who were staring at him, Mashu couldn''t help but feel fear. This is not because she can''t beat the other party, but because of this unreasonable fear - the unknown is the most unsettling thing.


    "Damn the witch!"


    However, the man in the lead clenched the pitchfork in his hand and yelled with gritted teeth.


    "You killed my child, I want you to pay your life!"


    "Child? Wait...what are you talking about?"


    Maxiu took a step back, while Duanmu Huai just stood beside him with his arms in his arms, looking at the scene curiously. And just then, another man dressed in a pastor stood up, staring at Mathue and speaking.


    "No need to disguise, witch, we already know everything. Have you met a child today?"


    "You mean that boy?"


    Hearing the man''s inquiry, Mashu was stunned for a moment. Then I remembered that when I entered the room, I had seen a little boy looking at me outside the room.


    "I just said hello to him..."


    "Shut up! Evil witch, you infected him with your curse. Now that child is seriously ill and will not live long! All of this is because of your curse!"


    "……Why?"


    I have to say that Mashu was shocked.


    "No, I don''t..."


    "Shut up! Witch!"


    "Your bewitching has no effect on us!"


    "The Lord will destroy your evil soul!" But before Maxiu''s defense was finished, he was interrupted by the residents of the town. They stared at Maxiu indignation and raised the cross in their hands. Faced with the crazy actions of these people, Maxiu couldn''t help but retreat backwards and turned his head uneasily to look at Duanmu Huai.


    “MASTER?”


    "Haha, this is really interesting."


    Duanmu Huai also walked out now and stared at the people in front of him.


    "You always say that Mashu is a witch who is devilish and can impose curses. Then you dare to appear here to deal with her? Are you not afraid that this witch will curse and kill you all?"


    "We are not afraid of curses!"


    Facing Duanmu Huai''s ridicule, the pastor seemed very proud.


    "We have the protection of the Lord, and our faith in the Lord is extremely pious and appraisal. The curse of a mere witch cannot affect the believers who are protected by the Lord and devoutly to the Lord!"


    "oh?"


    Hearing this, Duanmu Huai looked at them with a smile.


    "Then according to your words, how did that child be cursed? If you believe that Mash is a witch and that child is cursed by the witch, it means that he is not a devout believer, right?"


    "Why?"


    Hearing this, the father of the child just now suddenly turned pale, and when the others heard this, they turned their heads and stared at the man.


    Under the gaze of everyone, the man''s face changed drastically and he shook his head desperately.


    "No, no, no! Lord Pastor, my child is a devout believer! He worships the Lord faithfully every day! He has never heard of praying and obedience to the Lord!"


    "But he was confused by the witch!"


    Duanmu Huai waved his hand suddenly. At this moment, he felt like a pastor than that of the pastor.


    "Isn''t this what you said? The child was confused by the witch and was cursed by the witch. Isn''t this because the Lord''s favor has not come to him? If you denounce the witch for the curse of your child, is that you are also slandering the Lord''s glory and complaining that the Lord has not guarded your child?!"


    "No, that''s not the case..."


    Facing Duanmu Huai''s roar, the man was completely confused, and Maxiu was also confused by the side. He looked at Duanmu Huai blankly, not knowing where he was.


    "Is that true? Todd?!"


    The pastor glared at the man angrily, who trembled and sweated like rain under the priest''s glare.


    "No, that''s not the case, Lord Pastor, we are all devout believers!"


    "Whoever says it, but are you really a devout believer? If you and your family are really devout believers, then why didn''t the Lord protect your family from the curse of the witch? Are you here to destroy the witch, or do you want to blaspheme the Lord''s glory, mock the Lord''s majesty, and rebuke the Lord''s power even worse than a witch?"


    Duanmu Huai walked forward with great strides and pointed his hand at the man. The latter retreated repeatedly after his anger, and the expressions of others who looked at him changed.


    However, Duanmu Huai did not stop, but continued to speak.


    "You are the witch''s accomplice-no, this is all your idea!"


    "What are you saying? Me, I don''t know what you are saying!"


    Faced with Duanmu Huai''s scolding, the man''s legs were already trembling.


    "You deliberately attracted the witch to destroy the faith here, and deliberately cursed your child in order to show the Lord''s weakness to others, right?! Didn''t you just say that? You said your child is a devout believer and never gave up on worship, so why would your child be cursed? The implication is that the Lord is weak and cannot even resist the evil witch curses?"


    "No, no, no, that''s not like this..."


    Hearing this, the man was sweating profusely, and his hands holding the pitchfork kept trembling. At this moment, others stared at him angrily, not hiding their inner anger and hatred.


    "Todd! Are you actually a heretic?"


    "No, Lord Pastor, I really am not..."


    “Isn’t it really?”


    Duanmu Huai sneered, interrupting the farmer''s defense again, and then looked at the pastor.


    "Sir, is this farmer who found you first and claimed that his child was sick and cursed by the witch?"


    "Yes."


    The pastor didn''t even look at Mathue, but stared at Todd.


    "He found me and said that his child was cursed by the witch and was in danger. I also went to check it out. Indeed, his child had a high fever and kept talking nonsense, saying that it was the curse of the witch..."


    "He is acting on purpose and blaspheming the Lord''s majesty."


    Duanmu Huai roared angrily and waved his right hand. Just kidding, what is he doing? He is a judge. When it comes to convicting people, he is better than anyone else. Even if you didn''t do it, the judge can ask you to confess that it was you who did it!


    "Here! What crime should you be guilty of blaspheming the glory of the Lord so much?"


    “Ah——!!”


    Hearing Duanmu Huai''s roar, the man was so scared that he collapsed to the ground, while Duanmu Huai looked at the pastor.


    "Now it seems that the evidence is conclusive. Lord Pastor, you can tell from his appearance that this heresy has been completely seen through! So, as the spokesperson of the Lord, what should you do?"


    “Ah, that’s right, that’s it!”


    Faced with Duanmu Huai''s questioning, the pastor had no time to think and nodded quickly. Then he looked at the man angrily and gritted his teeth.


    "Todd, I didn''t expect that you heretic had been hiding under our noses for so many years! But now, your conspiracy has been exposed! Your heretic will be punished! Come on, take him away!"


    "Wait, no, I''m not...I''m not heresy, Lord Pastor...!"


    With the order from the pastor, the others immediately grabbed the unlucky farmer, tied it up with all their might and took it away.


    After a while, the people around him also walked away completely, only Duanmu Huai and Maxiu were still standing there.


    "Uh...MASTER? Is this...??"


    "It seems that their faith is really pious."


    Looking at the people who were walking away, Duanmu Huai smiled and then made a gesture to Maxiu.


    "Okay, there''s nothing we have to do here, I''ve been away."


    "…………Why?"
