“We’re sorry, we’re sorry. We went the wrong way. We’ll leave right now…” Tang Mianmian laughed dryly in an attempt to make a joke, but at this time, obviously no one found it funny.

“Since you’re here, then you might as well stay.” The housekeeper looked at them coldly. At its command, the puppet army descended upon them. 0Imfuc

The puppet army, coupled with four vanguard soldiers, looked menacing. All of a sudden, they were surrounded. Shen Yuan and the others didn’t dare to damage the puppet and found it hard to fight them. Xiao Tangqiu and Tang Mianmian, these two battle slags, were doing their best not to drag everyone else’s feet.

Tang Mianmian was still fine. After all, he had good physical stamina and great strength but Xiao Tangqiu was struggling to cope.

He was originally a weak geek and a useless fighter. On top of that, his physical strength wasn’t very good. He was soon out of breath.

He dodged left and right for a bit, but was suddenly bundled into a rice dumpling by a mass of hair and hung upside down in mid-air. GoDrmP

Xiao Tangqiu, “……”

Why him?!

The more he thought about it, the more frightened he grew, but he couldn’t help turning around. The originally empty church was filled with people since God knows when. They were sitting on the dusty benches, and many more were walking into the church.

Naturally, those “people” weren’t really people, but a large group of puppets with stiff expressions and slow movements. These poor residents of Daemon Town probably never committed anything really bad in their lives, but because of their ignorant ancestors from hundreds of years ago, they were turned into live puppets by the cruel owner of the castle. From living human beings, they were turned into puppets without any consciousness.

The puppets sat stiffly on the church benches, as if they were really guests attending a wedding. Apart from some which had complete bodies, there were many puppets with broken arms, legs, rotting skin and some were just skeletons. Xiao Tangqiu guessed that these bodies, which probably had been dug up from the cemetery in Daemon Town by Lippinobert, might have been the ones who burned Lili Marlene hundreds of years ago. zgvEds

Soon, the originally empty church was occupied by puppets who came to attend the wedding. However, Xiao Tangqiu couldn’t feel any warmth at all in such a “lively” wedding. He only felt a chill crawl up his spine.

The puppets had stiff expressions and empty eyes, which didn’t make him feel like he was attending a grand wedding, but rather a funeral in a graveyard.

It was also most likely his own funeral.

At this time, Lippinobert suddenly took out a very thick book with a black cover and mysterious golden patterns. EcFXwM

Xiao Tangqiu instantly recognized this as the same book Shen Yuan had read in front of him several times. He suddenly froze. Did Lippinobert steal the book from Shen Yuan?

Because Lippinobert was standing right in front of him, Xiao Tangqiu managed to see the patterns on the cover of the book for the first time at close range. The golden patterns had a strange but familiar feeling. Soon, he recognized them – the golden patterns were clearly a large group of intertwined serpents biting their own tails!

The serpent of the world, Ouroboros.

Again, Ouroboros. uhYW a

P.S. Sorry for missing last night’s update. Just a reminder, I can’t be sure exactly when my work schedule eases up. So, for the moment, I may miss certain days but will be sure to make it up on the next day or the weekend (so you still get 7 releases a week). ❤ DQoAsj
