The roads in the slums are dirtier than expected, and the black sewage is everywhere. Farasi frowned, holding a robe in one hand to prevent the sewage from staining her clothes, and holding a handkerchief in the other hand. With his nose. In order not to step on the sinkhole, Farasi walked very slowly and had fallen behind the team.

Reid followed Farasi's side and supported her to prevent her from stepping on the messy things on the ground and falling.

Alina, who is also a lady, didn't care. She strode on the sewage and seemed to adapt to such an environment. The others came to the front under the leadership of Alina.

Most of the miners living in the slums were bent over, showing vicissitudes of life. There were also some dark women carrying large wooden barrels. They didn’t know what was in them and gave off an unpleasant smell. When someone came here, they hid in the low room and seemed very scared. They seemed to be frightened by the recent continuous disappearances.

There are only a few children who are not afraid. They look at the members of the Leis team from a distance to see what they are doing.

The people here seemed very afraid of her party, Alina stopped, took out her purse, and took out a lot of silver coins. She shouted to the surroundings and said: "Who will answer my questions, I will give a silver coin to each question."

The people around did not make a sound, but looked at Alina warily.

Alina saw a little boy close to herself, and she walked over with a smile. A scared look appeared on the face of the little boy, his body shrank into a ball and squatted on the ground, but his eyes stared starvingly at the large silver coins in Alina's hand, showing a look of longing.

Alina was not very old, she stood beside the boy as if she were his sister. Alina slowly said in a soft tone: "What's your name?"

The little boy was shocked. He was obviously a little scared in his heart, but the charm of silver coins defeated the fear in his heart. He whispered: "My name is Jim"

Alina put a silver coin in the hands of the little boy Jim.

Jim quickly held the silver coin with both hands.

Alina asked again: "How old are you this year?"

Jim glanced at Alina, who was not much taller than himself, and said in an immature voice: "Is this the second question?"

Jim's words immediately caused kind laughs from other members of the Lace team. Alina took out another silver coin. Jim quickly took it and said, "I am twelve years old this year."

Ryan looked at Jim incredulously, the boy in front of him was 15 years old? However, for many years, he has not eaten enough to make him look like a child under ten years old, and when he grows up, he can only repeat the things his father and grandfather have done, and if he still With the next generation, it is impossible to get out of this quagmire.

Lane was filled with compassion. He took out a gold coin, walked up, and handed it to Jim.

Jim's eyes showed a hot glow, he took Ryan's gold coin with a trembling hand, and then stuck it to his body.

It's not just Jim, everyone present showed the same expression.

Many people here are dozens of years old, but they have never really owned gold coins, even if they only held them for a while.

Jim lightly stroked the gold coin and handed it to Ryan. Ryan did not ask for it, but said softly to Jim: "You accept it, I gave it to you. You look like my brother. . He should be about your age."

Ryan was afraid that Jim would not want him, so he made up a story deliberately.

Jim looked at Ryan, who had a kind look in his eyes. Jim retracted his hand holding the gold coin and said to Ryan, "Thank you, sir."

Alina stroked Jim's head and said softly: "Do you know a girl named Jessie?"

Jim nodded, pointed to a low house in the distance and said that she lived there.

Alina nodded and said, "Thank you, Jim, you are a kind, good boy."

Lace's team followed Jim's instructions and found Jessie's home. Alina stood at the door and said loudly, "Is anyone home?"

The door was pushed open, and a thin little girl came out. The hair on her head was messy, she didn't know what she was wearing, she was dark, only her big eyes were very bright.

Alina asked: "Little girl, is Jessie here?"

The little girl looked at Alina timidly with big eyes and said: "I am."

Alina knelt down and said to Jiexi with a smile: "Jiexi, don't be afraid, we are not bad guys, we are here to catch bad guys."

Jessie said: "Sister, I'm not afraid."

Alina touched Jessie's hair with pity, and said to her: "Jiexi, we are here to investigate the disappearance. You once said that the devil took them away. Can you tell us the specifics? Right?"

Jessie's eyes showed a look of fear when Alina was talking about the devil, and her body was trembling slightly.

Seeing Jiexi's appearance, Reid quickly cast a blessing spell.

The blessing technique shining white light enveloped all the people present, and made everyone's heart a courage to despise all evil in the world.

Jessie was not afraid anymore, she said to Alina: "Jessie is telling the truth, but they don't believe me."

Alina said: "Sister believes in you, tell your sister."

Jessie said: "I was playing outside of the city once, and there was a pile of useless slag. I wanted to pick out some copper sand from the slag. They could exchange copper coins with those who came by carriage. I found a place that they didn’t know. There were a lot of copper sand there. I didn’t finish picking it for a long time. Then it was dark, and I wanted to go home, but I saw a few people in black, each with their backs. Came over with a big pocket."

"Men in black?" Alina asked

Jessie said, "Yes. The pockets on their backs are still moving."

"What happened then?" Faras asked.

Ryan heard what Farath said, and remembered the scene with Farath last night, his face flushed, and Jessie didn’t hear clearly what happened next. He knew it was not the time to think about it, so he concentrated quickly. Spirit, continue to listen to Jiexi.

"Suddenly a terrible demon emerged from the ground. The flesh on its body was rotten. I could smell the stench from a long distance, and bones were exposed in many places."

Alina said: "Jessie, speak slowly and tell the scene at the time. This is very important."

Jessie said: "That demon is two people tall, big, and has four hands... By the way, it holds a huge axe in each hand. I'm so scared in my heart, just Hiding behind the pile of ore, did not dare to move. The demon snorted at every pocket, but the pockets stopped moving. Then piles of bones were drilled on the ground."

Reid suddenly asked: "How many piles of bones?"

Jiexi said: "Yes, they are not wearing clothes, they are all bones, not even a bit of meat. They picked up those pockets and went back, and the demon followed. I waited for the black clothes. Everyone left, then came out quietly. I was so frightened in my heart that I ran home. Later I learned that my brother was gone. I told the adults these things, they didn’t believe me, and they said my little child lies. . Jessie is an honest child and can't tell lies."

Alina said: "Jessie, Jessie is an honest child and doesn't tell lies."

Faras took out two gold coins and put them in Jessie's hands, and said to her: "This is my sister's reward for honest children. Please put them away."

Jiexi didn't dare to ask for it. She only saw this kind of shiny gold coin from the soldiers guarding the city. She knew that it was very valuable, and she was afraid that she would not be able to make a lifetime of picking copper sand.

Falas said: "The honest child should be rewarded for not telling lies. You should hide it and don't let others know it."

Jessie said: "I see, sister. Others will come and steal if they know."

Faras smiled and nodded. She was moved by Jessie's innocence. It seemed that the smell was not obvious anymore.

After Reid listened to Jiexi's words, his face was always wrong. He saw that Farasi had given the gold coins to Jiexi, and he said to everyone: "Since we have understood the situation, let's go back first."
