Bab 226: [Hollow Town] [8] [Conflict]

"When an outsider arrives here, things always take a wrong turn."

These words echoed in the square pathway street of Daqan Town, filled with townsfolk gathered in one place.

A few seconds passed; they stared at the forest, their expressions dull while they remained speechless.

A broken scream echoed from within the forest, making them flinch in response.

Since morning, the scream hadn't stopped for a single moment. It continued, making them all fear what was inside.

Who was screaming? And why?

They didn't dare to think deeply about it; the dark secret of the town made them even more anxious.

"...We should call the church," a voice echoed within the place, making people look in that direction.

A lady in nun attire walked forward to the center of the crowd.

"That's the only way I can think of," she said, her voice heavy. "...The church—"

"I've already tried it," another voice echoed, cutting her off.
