章節 136: Ritual - Part 4

Surprised to see the young girl again, I promptly stood up and hid the stone behind my back. What is she doing here? If she's one of the villagers, shouldn't she have responded to the call? What made her different from the others? 

Is she not under control? Is it possible that she didn't eat the food Mary had provided? Is she a normal young girl? Questions after questions came flooding my mind at the sight of the young girl, seeing how frail and small she was. 

Given the poor condition of the village, it's fairly possible that the people didn't have enough food to feed everyone. But Mary obviously won't let that happen if she wants to turn all of them into her puppets. Are young children not qualified? 

While I desperately wanted to believe she wasn't under Mary's control, what had happened before was far too strange for me to believe so. It was strange how she looked at me and how she remained in the same position for such a long time.
