"Cold." This was the first thing the little Loli said after Chen Senran hugged her and got into the car.

It was indeed a bit cold. Chen Senran frowned, glanced at Karl who was sitting very intelligently by the car window, smiled, hugged little Annie tightly in his arms and sat on the main seat.

Obviously, it started to get cold after this guy came in.

And...he actually got into the car floating just now...

Chen Senran calmly looked at the mysterious mage Karl who seemed to have started to fall asleep. The little Annie in his arms never dared to raise her head. She kept burying her head in her arms and refused to get up. She was obviously really scared by Karl.

"Mr. Karl..." Chen Senran stroked the little Loli's head to comfort her, while preparing words to test the possible identity and purpose of this unidentified guy.

"Mr. Chen Senran must be curious about why I floated up here, and why I never took off my hat...right?" Before Chen Senran could say anything else, Karl immediately listed all Chen Senran's possible questions.

After saying it, he sighed in a somewhat sad tone at the end.

"Yes." Chen Senran stopped talking immediately. He wanted to see how the other party would make it up. In fact, these were the other party's secrets. There was no need to tell them to strangers, but... he spoke so eagerly...

…

Afraid that others would not suspect him?

"I know that my appearance in such a ghost place is a bit strange, so I don't want you to misunderstand anything. I really don't mean any harm." A quick explanation, but is this really the case?

"My body was severely damaged in a magic experiment. It was almost turned into a semi-empty space. My face was completely destroyed and my body was also in a semi-floating state. The reason why I wore such a large robe and hat was because

It's because I'm afraid of scaring others." Karl continued to explain, his tone was very sincere, and even his hoarse throat became a symbol of his torture at this moment.

Everything seems to make sense. The explanation is because I don't want Chen Senran to misunderstand. My body was traumatized because of something wrong with the experiment...

But, is it necessary?

Chen Senran suddenly felt that either this guy was really slow-witted from doing experiments all the time and was a little unfamiliar with interpersonal communication, or he was a bad liar - an idiot.

Which one should I believe?

The first thing to determine is, if he lied, why did he lie and what was his purpose? This brings us back to the original question, which force does he belong to, or is he nothing at all?

This is a seemingly incomprehensible endless loop. Chen Senran narrowed his eyes and gently rubbed the little Loli's pink hair.

Or is it that I am neurotic due to being influenced by conspiracy theories?

However, in fact, when we arrived at the Demacia camp, everything became clear.

——————————

The carriage galloped and stopped when it was almost dark.

Fortunately, Lao Du did not find the marked road sign like the ghost story compiled by Chen Senran. Unfortunately, they are still one day away from the Demacia camp. This means that Chen Senran will be affected by

There are two threats, one is the unknown danger in the Howling Swamp, and the other is the threat from the unidentified Carl around him.

The feeling that many things are being shrouded in fog is really annoying. Chen Senran jumped out of the carriage and stretched out while holding the sleeping little Annie. The night breeze was a bit cold.

The little girl was awakened by Feng Yi, and said in a daze: "Are we here?"

"Not yet?" Chen Senran patted her head and signaled her to continue sleeping. Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a branch moving. This was the code he and Evelin had set. If something unknown happened,

, just use the nearest and most inconspicuous thing to warn.

It seemed that she had discovered something.

"Yeah." The little girl muttered, closed her eyes, changed her position and continued to sleep.

Chen Senran hugged her and walked over to where the fire was being lit. Karl had already sat down on the floor there, and Lao Du was about to light the fire.

"This place is too humid. There is nothing to burn. We don't have much fuel, so we have to save it. We can't find a leeward slope, and it will be very cold during the night vigil." Lao Du fiddled with the fire tools in his hands and asked

The flames gradually grew bigger, and he analyzed Chen Senran in a calm tone, "Besides, you have been here before, so you should know what dangers there are at night?" This last sentence was said to Karl, and he was not honest.

polite.

Chen Senran touched his nose and said nothing. He just nodded to Lao Du and sat down cross-legged. He overlooked one thing. Lao Du is also very mysterious. The series of analyzes he just gave were very professional...

…

It seems very likely that he was a soldier before...

"Well... I really don't know. I only stayed here for two days and spent one night. Last night, I found a larger tree to sleep against. I didn't light a fire. It seemed like there was no problem...

"Karl said as if reminiscing, his tone was very uncertain.

"That's right." Lao Du said without comment, "Then someone must keep watch tonight, and I can keep watch until half the night." This sentence means that he will sleep in the middle of the night.

You are so honest and rude... Chen Senran twitched the corners of his lips, his impression of this old guy driving the car declining again.

"I'll guard him for the rest of the night." Chen Senran said before Carl could. It wasn't that he suddenly became more enthusiastic, but that he didn't trust his safety in the hands of outsiders.

"Isn't this good?" Karl objected, "I've already troubled you to take me on the road, so how can I have the nerve to ask Mr. Chen Senran to stay overnight? I'd better do it."

"Mr. Carl is too polite." Chen Senran laughed and rushed to keep vigil. This attitude is really hard to distinguish between true and false. "How about this, how about we stay together for the rest of the night? There is also someone to take care of you." Chen Senran

I took a step back to see how the other person would react.

"That's fine. To be honest, it's very lonely to be alone at night." When he said the word "lonely", Karl bit hard, as if he hated these two words.

Chen Senran smiled, there was no flaw... It seemed that he could only count on Evelin to give him some ideas.

Thinking of this, Chen Senran stood up and started walking to the carriage. As he walked, he said: "On such a cold and humid night, it is better to have some good wine. I will go to the carriage to get some wine." He walked slowly and slowly.

, he didn’t even look at Karl out of the corner of his eye.

He got on the carriage with a natural expression, lit the lamp in the carriage and started to turn up the carriage mats.

"Let's talk about it." Chen Senran searched inside while padding the car. Before setting off, he deliberately hid several bottles of wine from Merlin Winery.

"I smell the smell of death on him." Only such a strange and incomprehensible word rang out in the bright carriage, and then there was no sound.

"Does it smell like the dead?" Chen Senran picked up a bottle of red wine produced in the last years of the Old World and shook it. Under the warm light, the deep red wine revealed a fascinating bloody smell.
