Different World: The Devil's Coming

Since Mo Fan was reborn here, he has been living a very happy life so far. There is nothing to be afraid of. After all, his father is the Demon King, and those monsters are not scary to Mo Fan. His grandfather is the King of Qin, so he will not be bullied in Qin. As for the Demon King's mortal enemy, the Hero? That is even more impossible.

So what did Mo Fan see just now? A scarecrow? But that familiar appearance reminded Mo Fan of only one thing. That was the scarecrow in the game in his previous life. Oh no, it had a name, but I forgot what it was. But I had never seen it in real life, so why would I be scared?

And the most crucial thing is that the goddess cannot see Mo Fan’s memories of his previous life, which means that the old man used some magical powers to block Mo Fan’s memories of his previous life, which is why the people here cannot see it, let alone track the earth through memory.

So where did this scarecrow come from?

Recalling an anecdote I read in a book in the Demon King's Castle.

Long ago, in a tower by the sea, a foolish young wizard summoned something into the world he could not control. What came before him was older than any recorded history, darker than a starless night. The world did its best to forget it, and for a brief moment, the wizard, the monster, and the tower were all lost to time.

It is an existence beyond common sense, violating almost all current cognition of magic. It is an ancient existence beyond history, a common fear of all living things, and even animals will become uneasy if its name is spoken.

It only knows how to create itself into a crude form that other creatures fear. It is the original fear of all life, born from the first scream of terror. It is a demon that existed before humans knew about demons.

At least, that's what the story goes.

Mo Fan felt familiar with it when he saw it, but he couldn't put his finger on it. Just now, when he saw the scarecrow, he finally understood. It seemed that... the scarecrow's background story was like this. This could also explain why he was afraid of the scarecrow even though he had never seen it in his two lives.

But how did it appear here? Could the foolish young magician in the story be the blood mage in this castle? But doesn't the blood mage study blood?

Mo Fan didn't quite understand, but he wanted to know. After all, the Scarecrow was a demon from Rune Continent, so how could it be here? Although he didn't know its name, after all, the classics didn't even mention its name, not to mention its portrait. But Mo Fan still wanted to take a look.

Since Mo Fan has made the decision, he has to allocate some manpower. Lian and Lan Kexin will definitely return to the city early tomorrow morning. After all, they have experienced it once and are very scared, so there is no need to force them.

Chenxi had not seen it and was in good spirits. She was just a little worried, so it was decided that Chenxi and Mo Fan would go together. According to Chenxi, she was a saint and had the goddess' blessing, so the fear did not find her just now.

With these words, Mo Fan felt relieved to let Chenxi follow.

The next morning, the four split into two teams, said goodbye and left.

Mo Fan was not sure either, he just wanted to take another look, to see more carefully. Chen Xi looked solemn, holding his staff tightly, ready to cast a spell at any time.

Since Mo Fan was unsure, was he here to die? Was he torturing himself on purpose? Of course not. He just wanted to confirm whether this thing was the original fear.

If so, then the person who comes should not be too strong. After all, this kind of conceptual monster is only as strong as the enemy.

The fear of the strong is often stronger, and the fear will be stronger. For this monster, it is a rich dinner, and it is also a tonic that can make it stronger. So we need to investigate it clearly.

And there is another question. Did the three groups of people who came before see this monster? Then why didn't they say anything? The last group even forgot everything that happened.

Mo Fan was somewhat skeptical, suspecting that this fear was fake and man-made.

The two men walked to the place where the accident happened yesterday and did not stop, but continued walking towards the direction of the castle.

Maybe because the sun was hanging in the sky, there were few undead creatures along the way, and the ghost did not appear. The two of them successfully pushed open the door of the castle and walked in.

Walking into the castle hall, there is a staircase in the middle of the hall that leads down. Obviously, this is the entrance to the basement and the entrance to the maze. It may have been hidden originally, but was just smashed open. But Mo Fan and Chen Xi's goal is not the maze. After all, the two of them may not be able to survive on the first floor with their strength.

Chenxi walked forward and checked the formation that blocked the maze. It was a formation blessed by the goddess' rules, which could keep the monsters in the maze quietly inside and not come out to cause trouble.

"No problem, it's not in the maze."

Chenxi finished the inspection quickly. Mo Fan nodded and walked around the hall. After Chenxi finished the inspection, he came to Mo Fan's side and inspected the castle with Mo Fan.

Since it is not a maze, the most suspicious thing is this castle.

Chenxi didn't support Mo Fan's coming, but after listening to Mo Fan's guess, she agreed to investigate. After all, Chenxi didn't believe that the ghost was fear itself. Otherwise, they wouldn't be alive.

The two explored the castle, checking the rooms on the first floor and the blood mage's library on the second floor. There were no problems, and there was nothing valuable. This was normal, after all, the adventurers must have moved away the valuables long ago, so the two did not care and continued to check.

Mo Fan even climbed outside the castle and searched the roof to see if there was anything suspicious, but he still found nothing.

The two returned to the hall and looked at the castle, which was still gloomy and had no problems, in silence. It seemed that... things were more complicated than they thought?

Suddenly, a white light burst out from Chenxi's body. Mo Fan immediately used the fire element to illuminate everything around him. The flames did not burn anything in the castle, but illuminated every dark place.

After doing all this, Mo Fan protected Chenxi behind him and asked.

"you saw it?"

"Hmm... a white shadow, but before it could make any move, it was blocked by the blessing on me."

Chenxi took a deep breath and said.

Although the ghost did not succeed, the tension at that moment still made Chenxi breathe faster.

"Did you see the location?"

Mo Fan closed his eyes and used his magic eyes to observe everything around him. He thought, as long as he didn't use his eyes to see, there shouldn't be any problem, right?

"over there……"

Chenxi pointed to the entrance of a room. Mo Fan took her hand and they walked towards the room.
