Faced with Li De's invitation, Charles stood still, looking a little dazed, but didn't know how to refuse.

"No, I have companions waiting for me."

"You're welcome. Take a rest if you're tired. I can provide some food for free."

Seeing that words were not working, Li De directly grabbed Charles' wrist.

"What are you doing, let go!"

"Beautiful elf lady, please stay a little longer. It's been a long time since someone has chatted with me like this."

"No... I already said my companions are waiting."

Li De's behavior shows that he has fallen in love with Charles and now wants her to stay.

But Charles would naturally not agree, and this sudden impulse made her determined to leave here.

Ye Xi saw this scene and found that Li De's behavior was gradually becoming abnormal. He directly pulled Xia'er's clothes.

If he continued like this, he might get exposed, but Charles just wanted to struggle hard, thinking that he could escape.

Ye Xi shook his head helplessly, then slowly walked over.

"Let go!"

"Miss Elf, please don't leave yet. It would be better if you could come into the house and rest for a while!"

Even up to this point, no one in the village heard Charles' cry.

Just as Ye Xi took out a dagger and prepared to kill the pervert, she saw a figure running towards them out of the corner of her eye.

"What are you doing? Take your dirty hands off me!"

Then another man came and ran towards Li De and punched him in the face.

Charles broke free, but Li De was pinned to the ground by the man, who sat on him and beat him violently with punches left and right.

"Ye Xi!"

"Get behind me."

When Xia Er saw Ye Xi, it was like seeing hope, and he hid behind her in fear.

But Li De was not so well off. He was pinned down by the man and unable to move, and was beaten black and blue.

"Ouch! Stop fighting! Someone's going to die!"

"Help! There's a madman!"

Li De's screams were heard by the nearby villagers.

They rushed over and quickly separated the two men from fighting, but the man's anger could not be calmed down until he was pulled apart by four people and subdued.

Afterwards, the man was locked up by the villagers, and Ye Xi and Xia Er left the village and met up with Xiao You.

"Ah... Humans are so scary."

"Thanks to Ye Xi's appearance, otherwise Sister Xiaer would have been injured."

Xiaoyou became scared after learning what happened to Charles, but fortunately, Charles knew magic and was able to repair the torn parts of his clothes.

"Why is this happening? I didn't say anything wrong. How could he do this to me?"

"There are all kinds of birds in this big forest. Humans are not as friendly as you think. The reason you are respected is just because you met the right people."

"And it wasn't me who helped Ciel out, it was that man."

When Li De was being beaten, Ye Xi saw the man's face for a moment.

Judging from his pointed chin and strong muscles, he should be an adult with black hair and great courage.

"Sorry, Ye Xi, I didn't get any reliable information."

"It's okay, it's not your fault. I think we should have found the person we are looking for."

Ye Xi felt that the man who was locked in the house might know something, or he might just be acting bravely for the moment.

But then I thought, why was he locked up in a small dark room for beating someone?

This means he does this often.

"Strange... This village isn't that far from Brooks."

"And the pervert said he visited Brooks a week ago, which means Brooks was attacked a few days after he left."

Thinking about it this way, Ye Xi always felt that the people in the village were a little abnormal.

When Ye Xi entered there, she found that every villager's movements were very stiff.

It was so obvious, but they didn't seem to notice me at all. It's normal for a person not to notice.

But when you really walk past them, they don't even move their eyes, and some of them just stand there against the wall without moving, like corpses.

"Xiaer, Xiaoyou, please stay here tonight."

"Ye Xi, do you want to..."

"Well, that man might know something, and my intuition tells me that there are no normal people in this village."

When Ye Xi said this, Xiaer got goosebumps. If he wasn't a normal person, then what else could he be?

At night, Yexi and Xiaer pretended to leave during the day, and now they returned here secretly.

The moon is very round tonight, but at night, there is not even a light in the village in front of me.

"Strange? Where did Xiaoyou go?"

When he returned to the village, Charles found that Xiaoyou was missing.

During the day, Yexi and Xiaer found an abandoned house on the mountain.

Go back and rest immediately after you finish your work.

There was not even a single light in the village. Ye Xi, wearing a black windbreaker with the hood up, carefully walked along the edge of the matchroom, looking for the house where the man was imprisoned.

"Ye Xi, why do we feel like thieves when we're being sneaky like this?"

"Just think of yourself as a thief. If you make a noise and get caught, do you know what the consequences will be?"

"Hmm...will he be locked up in the house too?"

"That's just the lightest punishment. If you're really discovered, you won't be able to leave here."

Although there was no light source, Ye Xi was able to find the room with the help of the bright moonlight.

Charles squatted down and walked forward slowly, pinching the corner of Ye Xi's clothes with his fingertips, fearing that he would fall behind because he walked too fast.

But what the two of them didn't know was that behind them, there was a sinister smiling face watching their every move.

"found it!"

Ye Xi came to the matchroom where the man was imprisoned, and without hesitation, he kicked the wooden door to pieces.

Pieces of the door flew everywhere, and such a bold act made Ciel complain outright.

"Didn't we agree to be sneaky?"

"Do you have the key to open the door?"

Charles was silent for a moment. Without the key, there was really no other way except to destroy it.

The two walked in. The room was dark and there was no light.

Ye Xi took out a modern flashlight from her pocket and turned it on. The scene in front of them immediately scared them silly.

"Xiaoyou?!"

Ye Xi turned on the flashlight, and a beam of dazzling white light illuminated the surroundings, and Xiao You suddenly appeared in front of him.

Next to her was the adult man from the daytime, but he looked very strange now, lying there motionless like a corpse.

"How is this going?!"

"Sister Xiaer, Yexi, behind you..."

"Behind?"

Xiaoyou suddenly showed a frightened expression, and pointed behind the two of them with her little hand, trembling all over.

At this moment, Ye Xi heard the voice that made her familiar but very disgusted.

"Excuse me...Have you seen my doll?"
