[Comprehensive British and American] I open a haunted house in the superhero world

God of puppets?

West immediately realized: "You are here..."

"Levansfell." The child said directly, he raised his head and opened his eyes, "This is Levansfell."

West raised his head and looked at the village that didn't look modern in front of him...

Is this Levansfair?It doesn't look like a modern place here, but it looks like a backward village that only existed in the last century.

"Hey, I can't tell you anymore, I'm going to pick flowers, mother-in-law has to wait." The child said something in a hurry, and was about to leave after finishing speaking.

West quickly grabbed him, and said, "Wait, can I go with you?"

The child didn't seem to be defensive, and easily agreed to West's request.

So West followed behind the child, watching him pick the most beautiful and freshest flowers on the grass and put them in his basket.

In the process, he learned that the child's name was Nass, and the festival he was talking about was a specific monthly event in the village. Everyone in this village believed in the same god—the god of puppets.

They worship every month and offer their best food.

There is only him and an elderly mother-in-law in the child's family, and they are not particularly rich, so he must work harder to raise sacrifices that satisfy the gods.

"It turns out that many people didn't believe in God." Nas said while picking flowers, "They thought it didn't exist and had no faith. They didn't know that God really existed until God showed us his power. .”

Judging from the puppet gods that children say, they don't believe in some decent gods.

West thought it was probably Billy, but he still hadn't figured out what was going on here.Did he go back to the past all of a sudden, or he was in the present, but Revansfell was still living in the past.

Probably because of the reason of the child’s family, when he talked about it with other people, he was dismissed by others. It was rare to meet a person like West who just listened quietly, and he became a little excited. I happily talked about his god with him: "My mother-in-law said that our family has enshrined this god for generations, and the god protects our family. We are the earliest believers. This god is very ancient, and he has been living in this land. In the past, everyone believed in him, but slowly, some foreign gods from nowhere came over, and everyone stopped believing in him, and even forgot about God, and then they came back when they lost their way Enshrined to God, but we are God's most loyal believers."

He lowered his voice and looked a little lost: "But people look down on us and think we are not worthy."

West pondered for a long time, not knowing whether to comfort him or to say something else, considering that the god in his mouth might be Billy, he felt that this god was probably not worth believing in at all.

It's just that the child's heart is sincere, and this is the sincerity that he can't destroy.

So he kept smiling, neither approving nor reprimanding.

The child was very happy and invited him to his home.

Considering that West knew nothing about this place, it was a good thing to have such a local with him, so he agreed.

The two of them returned to the village together. They met many children playing again on the road. When they saw Nas, they immediately shouted: "Little lunatic, are you going to use those rags to worship gods this year with your lunatic mother-in-law?" You are so poor, do you still expect God to protect you? Stop dreaming!"

The child was obviously often treated like this, and quickly ran away with West.

After running home, he said to West with lingering fear: "Fortunately, they didn't catch up."

The mother-in-law they saw just now was praying in the house at this time. After hearing the footsteps, she turned around and asked immediately, "Did you bring the flowers back, dear?"

"Bring it back." The child replied immediately.

As he spoke, he carefully took out the flowers and put them in the vase prepared by his mother-in-law.

The mother-in-law looked at the flowers with satisfaction, only then did she notice West's existence, and asked, "Who are you?"

Her eyes sharpened suddenly, as if guarding against West.

Before West answered, the child said first, "This is an older brother I met on the road, he told the puppet god..."

"Crack." Before he could finish speaking, something slammed towards him, but thanks to West's sharp eyesight and hand, he blocked it for him before the thing landed at his feet and shattered into pieces with a bang.

"Don't call □□ directly, call that lord!" The mother-in-law said in a sharp voice that could almost knock down the roof. Her expression was crazy. After scolding the child, she immediately turned her head and prayed to "God", " Forgive me, my lord."

West looked at the puppet he placed in the middle and frowned.

He doesn't feel any sense of holiness from this so-called god, on the contrary, there are endless twisted resentments.

Now it is certain that this must have something to do with Billy.

When the mother-in-law's confession was over, she immediately turned her head and glared at Nas: "Quickly pray for your forgiveness, not everyone can be brought in front of you casually."

The boy scolded in the first sentence, and West scolded in the latter sentence.

West shrugged and did not contradict her.

On the contrary, the little boy looked a little aggrieved. He usually has a very gentle personality, but he was still a little unhappy when he met someone he likes, West.

But he was used to being meek, so he just glanced at West apologetically.

West felt that the two words he was scolded were not as painful as the one that the little boy was smashed.

The mother-in-law glared at West, but she didn't drive him away. Instead, she told him coldly that if he really wanted to understand her family, he had to be obedient and respectful.

"You must have a heart of respect, otherwise you will be in bad luck!" the mother-in-law told West firmly.

West didn't react much, just nodded, and then the old man said that she was going to prepare other sacrifices.

"I'm sorry, mother-in-law has such a character, she looks very strict." When the mother-in-law walked into the room and began to prepare other things, Nas apologized to him in a low voice.

"She doesn't look too good to you," West said.

Nas shook his head: "Actually, my mother-in-law is very nice, but sometimes she's a little..."

He paused, trying to figure out what to say.

When he couldn't speak, he scratched his head, showed a helpless smile, and then whispered: "Probably because I let her down sometimes."

He told West that her mother-in-law is actually a very gentle person. He was adopted by the old man, and there was a girl adopted with him, but the girl disappeared later, and I don't know where she went.

Later, the mother-in-law became a little suspicious.

When the child said this, his expression was very calm, and he didn't seem to be suffering from his experience at all. All of this seemed to be just a part of his life experience.

West realized that he was wrong. Although this boy seemed to be very gullible, it was not because he was too naive, but because he had a clear vision.

He listened to the little boy talking, and the time passed before he knew it.

When the mother-in-law came out again, the two of them were still talking vigorously.

"These two days are the days of the festival. No one is allowed to walk around, especially at night, and it will not end until the morning of the third day." The mother-in-law said coldly to West, "You must respect the adults. .”

She repeatedly emphasized to West that it was already dark outside, which meant that West could not go out today.

West nodded to the old man, and the mother-in-law entertained him reluctantly.

However, at night, he took advantage of the rest of the child and the old man, and turned out of the window.

The more it talks about the places where you can't go out at night, the more ghostly it is.

The eyes that can see the truth have been integrated into West's body, and are now in a deep sleep.

But even without those eyes, West could feel a sense of discord from this place.

There was not even a single person in the village at night, everyone was obeying the requirements of the festival and absolutely not to go out.

The village respects the so-called God of Puppets almost to a perverted level. He can almost see signs related to puppets on the doors and roofs of every house.

This is really Billy's dream world.

But the strange thing is that Billy's traces can be seen everywhere here, but Billy is the only one.

Billy was obsessed with killing Jack before, was it really just to completely control Ravansfair?

Billy spoke as if Revansfell was still in his possession, just waiting for him to kill Jack, and Ravansfell would be completely sealed.

But in fact, based on West's current observation, Billy had lost Revansfell a long time ago, and maybe he couldn't find where this village was at all before.

The only way to get in here is with the eye that sees the truth -- but Billy doesn't.

So, how did Billy lose Ravansfell?West could see that there were too many traces of being controlled by Billy.

Since he once owned this place, how did he lose it?

West felt that he had touched the truth, he could even feel that what he wanted was here.

Hidden in a corner here.

He walked quietly in the darkness, and Levansfair in the darkness was like a quietly dormant beast, silent and extremely dangerous.

West also needs to think, where are the superheroes who fell into the mud with him now?Are they safe?

West was thinking, suddenly he heard some strange voice not far from him.

He immediately looked back, and saw Nas standing timidly behind him, watching in horror.

"I saw you go out." The child said awkwardly, "I want to tell you that this place is not safe, you must go back with me."

"Well, I'm just coming out..." Just walk around.

Just as West spoke halfway, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a black shadow flashing past from the corner of his eye.

The shadow moved very fast, like black lightning.

And the shape of the shadow looks very much like...

Hall!

It was the black cat who broke free from West all of a sudden before, causing them to chase and fall into the mud.

And now the black cat ran here with him?

West subconsciously ran after the black cat, and behind him, the child suddenly came to his senses and quickly ran after West.

Shouting while running: "Wait a minute, wait a minute, it's not safe here..."

He said so, but West's attention had already fallen on the black cat.

The owner of the haunted house tried to order the black cat to stop, but the black cat in front seemed to have not noticed his order at all, and was still running forward.

West felt as though it was taking itself somewhere, just as it had brought them into Ravansfair before.

They chased Hall all the way through the town, to the back of the town, and then West stopped.

Because Hall, who was still running in front of him, suddenly disappeared.

He stopped, and found himself in a dark forest.

At this time, the child who was following him finally caught up. He panted heavily, and pulled the corner of West's clothes with some fear.

"Where is this?" He looked at the empty forest ahead.

There is nothing here.

No, no, it's not that there is nothing here, it's just that there is nothing here from the perspective of ordinary people.

And from West's vision, there is a corpse hanging from every tree here, like a flag in the air.

And the trees hanging from the bodies are tombstones one by one.
