Chapter 204: We Fled Overnight
Chapter 204: We Fled Overnight"It wasn't premeditated, and we didn't have any ulterior motives. You just happened to be on the only road leading to the town we were attacking, so we thought we'd take care of you along the way. Who knew..."
Lynn stared with dead fish eyes and said, "Who knew you'd run into an iron wall?"
The werewolf sobbed, body trembling, looking like he was about to burst into tears.
If they had known earlier that this seemingly harmless young man was that kind of freakish curse-spreader, they would have been insane to provoke this misfortune!
And during the blood moon at that.
This was truly a major stain on their werewolf lives!
And... and they got...
Defiled! Their bodies were defiled!
O(╥﹏╥)o
Wah wah."No crying!" Lynn calmly pointed at the werewolf's head and said:
"I'm asking you again, why were you attacking that town, and what's the situation here? If you cooperate and tell me everything, I won't make things difficult for you! After all, I'm not some kind of devil."
The werewolf swallowed hard, looking extremely anxious, and said:
"That town is called Silent Town, inhabited by refugees from the Sacred World. About... about three hundred years ago, the Sacred World's army opened a passage to this world and descended upon it."
Lynn heard this and asked doubtfully, "Oh? What did they come here for?"
The werewolf widened his eyes and said, "It seems... it seems they were searching for their world's lost heritage."
"From what I know, their world experienced some kind of catastrophe three thousand years ago that caused their civilization to break down. Five of the thirteen artifacts they revered as Holy Relics fell into this world..."
"So three hundred years ago, they launched an expedition to this world."
Lynn froze for a moment.
Then fell into deep thought.
"Three thousand years ago..."
Three thousand years ago again.
Counting Little One's family, the Technological Civilization discovered by the Demonkin Association, plus this so-called Sacred World expeditionary force, that made three civilizations that had been impacted three thousand years ago.
What exactly happened back then?
Little One's family had their heads severed.
The Technological Civilization completely shattered.
This Sacred World experienced a cultural break.
All of this indicated that at that moment three thousand years ago, something unimaginable must have occurred across the major worlds.
"Since you said they arrived three hundred years ago, what was the outcome?" Lynn narrowed his eyes.
The werewolf stared blankly and said, "They got wiped out."
"..."
The werewolf said confusedly, "I don't know the specific details, only that shortly after they opened the portal, they encountered root-level entities in this world, and then... got scattered." 𝘙ãꞐОᛒËs
"The current town is one of the refugee groups left behind by that scattered allied force, and they have one Holy Relic in their possession."
Lynn's heart stirred.
"What about you? You know so much about this - you must have some connection to them, right?"
The werewolf hemmed and hawed for a moment, then said:
"We... our ancestors, before they transformed, were also members of that allied force."
As if remembering something, he suddenly raised his head, eyes burning with raging fury, baring his sharp fangs as he said hatefully:
"They drove us out! And the reason was simply because we contracted the werewolf curse! They expelled our ancestors without any regard for past ties, leaving us to fend for ourselves in this Dark World!"
"So they deserve to die! We will definitely tear them to pieces, and then..."
Thwack—
Lynn closed his eyes and extended his fist.
The werewolf immediately tucked his tail like a husky, holding the bump on his head, o(╥﹏╥)o and said:
"Sorry."
Based on this guy's confession, he now had a general understanding of the situation here.
In short, due to curses and ideological differences, the scattered allied forces from back then had split again, and the refugees in this Cursed Territory were descendants of some of those scattered allied forces who had ended up wandering everywhere.
Lynn stood up, tapped his temple, and narrowed his eyes:
"One last question - do you know about the Night Doctors?"
As soon as he said this.
The werewolf immediately shuddered all over, exclaiming in shock, "Night Doctors... You... why are you asking about them?"
Lynn smiled slightly and leaned closer, saying, "So you do know something. But you don't need to understand why - you just need to obediently answer my question."
The werewolf trembled and said, "Ni... Night Doctors, I know them, they're a bunch of madmen, and they're very interested in the curses inside us. When we first arrived here, we did encounter a doctor wearing a Plague Doctor Mask..."
"He was very refined, said they were doctors dedicated to healing and redeeming this land, and were very willing to help us remove the curses and diseases from our bodies..."
He swallowed hard and said fearfully:
"We... we believed his nonsense. At first it was fine - that doctor really did help us treat many troubling diseases and old injuries, and actually helped several of our elders break free from the werewolf curse... but..."
He trembled all over as if remembering something utterly terrifying.
"But after curing those few elders of their curses... they still insisted we were sick... and seriously ill at that... requiring more in-depth treatment..."
"They cut us open!! They cut us open!" he exclaimed fearfully, waving his arms wildly.
"They cut your body open piece by piece, gave you lots of strange medicines, then sewed you back up, and only then declared you cured..."
"We ran away overnight!"
Lynn was utterly astonished.
This...
That's it! It seems I've really found my organization!
"Where are they?" Lynn asked seriously.
The werewolf said dazedly, "I don't know exactly where they are. They're always very secretive about their movements, but it seems they have an outpost nearby. The people in that town know about this, which is why they want to use the Night Doctors' presence to protect themselves..."
Lynn asked doubtfully, "Since you're so afraid of those doctors, why are you so stubbornly causing trouble for that town?"
As soon as he said this, the werewolf immediately became furious, gritting his teeth with a cracking sound:
"Being afraid is one thing, but hatred is another. We will definitely tear all those people to pieces, and until we achieve that goal, we will never retreat."
Lynn smiled slightly, stood up, and turned to look at the town shrouded in night.
"Understood."
