The Modern Age of the Mysterious

"After experiencing our pain, you are qualified to listen..."

"What does this mean? Am I going to set myself on fire?" Sean couldn't help frowning upon hearing the request of the past illusion.

He originally planned to think again to see if there were other ways to win the trust of the other party.

However, he suddenly flashed before his eyes the face of Arya, who had become paler and stained with red blood in the dream last night.

"damn it……"

On the alert Moonlight, saw Sean with his eyes closed, and suddenly took out a lighter from his pocket.

He quickly took apart the casing of the lighter, as if he was afraid that he would go back on it.

A pungent smell of kerosene came, and just as Moonlight was about to make a move, Sean closed his eyes and shouted, "I'm trying to find a way to meet their requirements, don't stop me!"

Sean poured the special kerosene from the lighter on the back of his hand. Under the surprised eyes of Moonlight, Sean lit the lighter, and then lit his left hand with the lighter...

"I mean, Sean, are you crazy?!" Moonlight was shocked in the firelight.

Sean gritted his teeth: "It's worse than crazy - this is my rational decision!"

The flames quickly turned the hairs on Sean's hands into gas, the skin scorched in the blink of an eye, and a tingling meat fragrance filled the scalp...

"I'll take care of it, I'll take care of it, I'll take care of it..." Sean controlled his left hand with his right hand, his neck was full of blue veins, his face was blood red, and he used a curse to relieve the extreme pain.

For a moment, he wanted to cut off his left hand with a vicious blade, and he was done.

Moonlight bit his fist, and his pale face was illuminated by the firelight-looking at Sean's painful expression, he seemed to feel the pain of being burned too.

Just when Sean couldn't take it anymore and wanted to put out the flames in her hands, the female worker walked up to Sean and grabbed Sean's burning left hand with her naked hands.

The flame in Sean's hand went out. The female worker's hands were ripped apart, and there was still fire burning, but Sean couldn't feel her touch.

With tears running down her face, she stared at Sean's face. Sean realized that it was actually a pair of emotional, ordinary eyes.

Moonlight found that Sean's face became solemn. He was unconsciously using the mist of elixir to heal the burnt left hand, and said, "She wants to show us what happened."

Moonlight extended the spiritual essence and merged it into Sean's spiritual essence, and closed his eyes...

The light illuminated the darkness of the eyelids. When Sean and Moonlight opened their eyes, they found themselves standing on a street full of snow.

A red-haired woman in her early twenties was having a snowball fight with a little girl of about fourteen.

Sean pointed to the red-haired woman: "Her name is Cate Brandt. She is the main will of this spiritual world that communicated with me."

Moonlight stepped on the snow, the soles of her boots creaked, and she pointed to the little girl with her chin - she had long hair: "That's..."

Sean sighed: "It should be the corpse of the witch who attacked me, before her death."

Because of her delicate body, the little girl was attacked by Kate's snowball and could not stand upright.

She turned her back to Kate and put her hands on the ground. A wicked smile appeared on her cold face. The snow around her palms poured into her palms like living things, and soon formed a snowball the size of a football.

She threw the snowball into the air and muttered something, seeing the falling snowball flying straight towards Kate, knocking her over into the snow.

The little girl laughed, the snow on her hair had melted, leaving her hair wet.

Kate was so angry that she stood up and shouted: "Annie! You are using yours outside again..." Seeming to realize something, Kate lowered her voice and walked to Annie's side angrily, grabbed her ears, and whispered. He scolded: "You are using your witchcraft outside again! How did your mother tell you! I want you not to mess around outside!"

Annie's ears had frostbite, and she grimaced in pain from being pulled. She kept begging for mercy: "Sister, don't, don't!"

Standing aside, the ghostly Sean and Moonlight watched the scene of the two sisters fighting, and the corners of their mouths unconsciously put on a smile.

Annie apologized: "I see, no need, no need!"

Kate then let go of her hand and looked at Annie angrily. Annie also squinted at her sister.

Seeing her sister's face flushed red with cold, and her patched clothes covered with snow, Annie laughed. She smiled and Kate laughed too.

In the distance, a woman shouted, "Katie, Annie! Do you want to catch a cold? Go back to the house!"

"Yes, Mom!"

Sean and Moonlight exchanged glances and followed the two little girls into the room.

There is a clearing here, and there is a river not far away, obviously behind the Haleywood Textile Mill. However, the textile factory was still full of life at this time.

I walked into the factory with my mother, and went up to the third floor. The floor was burnt to darkness. At this time, there were many beds, and the living space between the female workers was separated by white cloth.

Crowded space, warm yellow light. There was a smell of burning coals, a scalding kettle, and a sour smell.

Kate and Anne's mother had beautiful faces and a well-proportioned figure, but with deep bags and dark circles under the eyes, they looked very tired.

Sitting on the bed, she took out a box of ointment from the bedside table, picked out a piece with her fingers, and spread it evenly on her knees that were on fire beside the coal stove.

The knee is slightly swollen and appears to be seasonal arthritis.

"I'll come, Mom." Annie's eyes were shining, and after she put her hands close to the coal stove, she slowly rubbed her knees for her.

Sean saw that Annie's men had yellow shimmers.

Yueguang said, "She has a unique talent, but she hasn't learned how to use her talent yet."

Sean nodded: "It can only be based on feeling."

Mom's face relaxed a little - she smiled and patted Annie's head, looking very happy.

Kate was lying on the bed and opened the almost torn "On Capital" when she suddenly heard the moan of an old female worker not far away.

She turned her head to look. Because of the overtime work, the toes of the old female worker were frozen, and those jet-black toes had begun to fester, and the pain made her unable to walk.

Kate saw a few huge mice sniffing something under the old maid's bed.

Sister put down the book, patted Annie, and then pointed in the direction of the old female worker. Annie, who kept looking at the direction her sister pointed, nodded knowingly.

After dinner, Annie took the leftover half of the bread to the bathroom, and she said a few words while no one was there.

Sean and Moonlight didn't know what she was doing, and after a few minutes, they both heard faint rattles and rustling sounds.

Soon, dozens of mice got out of nowhere and gathered around Annie, looking at her with green bean-like eyes.

Looking at those big black-furred mice~www.NovelMTL.com~ Sean couldn't help feeling a little disgusted, and he had goosebumps unconsciously all over his body.

Moonlight, who had friendship with mice on the "Golden Age", was nothing. Miss White in her pocket stuck her head out, as if she saw a group of beggars of the same kind, who were ashamed and hid in her pocket again.

Annie broke the bread and fed it to the mice in turn: "Ladies and gentlemen living in the cave, thank you for always abiding by our agreement and not stealing food from the female workers.

"However, I have another request now - Mrs. Anthony is very pitiful. Her son died of pneumonia, so don't bite her toes..."

The mice ate the bread silently, and when the bread in Annie's hand was divided, they dispersed silently again.

"Can communicate with animals..." Sean looked at the moonlight, "She is a born witch."

At night, the two sisters huddled together on a bed to sleep. After Kate had tucked Annie's bed in everywhere, she looked at her sister in the dim light of kerosene, and Annie looked at her quietly.

"The Father looks upon his children from heaven.

He will know all your sufferings,

And give bread, milk, health and warmth forever,

For kind and pious children. Amen. "

"Amen."

After reciting the prayers taught to children in church, Kate put her forehead on Anne's forehead, and the two sisters closed their eyes: "Tomorrow is a new day."

"Tomorrow is a new day... Good night, sister."

Climbing into the bed on the other side, Kate looked sideways at her mother, who was snoring evenly on the bed next to her, then pulled out the letter paper from under the mattress, and with the dim light of the kerosene lamp, started to write with an old pen without a cap. get up letter...
