Chapter 672 Alice and the Devil

"That's right, Miss Quinn." Mrs. Gordon nodded in agreement, looking disappointed.

"Madam, I hope you don't misunderstand. Do you have any religious items in your home, such as books related to paganism, or totems and emblems that seem to have artistic value?" Jiang Feng continued to inquire.

Mrs. Gordon was a sensitive and smart woman, and she understood it after hearing this.

"Miss Quinn... You don't suspect that someone is doing cult activities in my house, do you?"

"Frankly speaking, there is a kind of atmosphere in this house that makes me very uncomfortable, and I can't help but think in that direction."

"This is impossible!" Mrs. Gordon was so anxious that she almost cried, "How could there be cultists in our family? Miss Quinn, my devout belief in the church and my husband's reputation cannot be allowed to be suspected like this!"

"Madam, don't be angry, I just made a guess, and I will never spread such a thing..."

Jiang Feng was comforting the overly excited Mrs. Gordon, and suddenly there was a dog barking behind him.

Looking back, the hound rushed out of the bushes and ran towards the backyard.

Gao Fei and Martin were chasing the hound.

Jiang Feng quickly took Mrs. Gordon's hand and followed closely.

The hound crossed the garden and stopped in front of a beautiful wooden house with a wall painted in milky white, barking at the door.

"Where is this?" Jiang Feng looked at Mrs. Gordon.

"Miss Bronte lives here. She is William and Alice's tutor. She has lived with us for three years. William and Alice like her very much. James and I also regard her as our own family." Mrs. William added: "In all aspects, Miss Bronte is a devout believer in the Church of England. I can vouch for her."

"Is Miss Bronte at home?" Gao Fei looked at the window.

"The day before yesterday morning, she was bitten by a big spider, poisoned, and frightened. She is currently recuperating in the hospital." Mrs. Gordon replied sadly,

"Then where are your children?" Gao Fei continued to inquire.

"William is at school, only Alice is at home."

Mrs. Gordon opened the door and called her daughter.

A little girl in a dress walked to the door with a rag doll in her arms and looked out with timid eyes.

Jiang Feng couldn't help but sneeze twice.

The house was filled with an increasingly strong evil spirit.

A smell similar to burning sulfur made her feel very uncomfortable. However, except for her, the clergyman, no one else present seemed to be aware of this evil breath.

"Madam, can we talk to your daughter alone for a few words?"

"Of course."

Mrs. Gordon kissed her daughter's forehead with uneasiness and gently reminded her: "Alice, listen to Miss Quinn."

The little girl nodded obediently, but her eyes could not hide her uneasiness.

After Mrs. Gordon left, Martin closed the door, touched the "landlord's" head, and soothed the restless hound.

"The dog that was killed in the garden was beheaded. The landlord tracked it here and then he couldn't smell the blood."

"The method of removing the blood smell is quite professional, so professional that it doesn't seem like a nine-year-old girl can do it."

Martin bent down, put his hands behind his back, and stared fiercely at Alice across from him.

"Miss, maybe you can tell me who killed your hound, cut off its head, and hid it."

Alice stepped back in fear, shook her head, and said nothing.

"Please don't put on this fierce and stinky face. What kind of hero is it to scare a little girl!" Gao Fei pushed Martin away unhappily, "Louise, you should talk to Alice."

Jiang Feng held the little girl's cold hand, looked at her pale face, and hesitated for a few seconds before speaking.

"Alice, poor Alice... You are protected too well by your parents, and you are as pure as a blank sheet of paper, so you don't know how dangerous it is to make a deal with the devil."

Alice immediately widened her eyes, her face full of disbelief.

"Alice, if you are a good girl, you should tell me honestly, why did you dare to invite the devil into your home?"

"I didn't!" Alice defended with tears in her eyes, "I didn't invite them to be guests, they broke into my house by themselves!"

"They? It seems that there is more than one devil." Gao Fei said, touching his chin.

"I don't know..." Alice shook her head regretfully, "Duck claimed to be an elf, I didn't know he was lying, and no one told me that he was actually a devil... As for Brad, well, compared to the elves in fairy tales, that rough guy does look more like a devil..."

"Alice, when did the devils appear in your home?" Jiang Feng asked the little girl.

"It was probably... Monday morning." The girl recalled, "It was the day after my parents took me to the banquet. I wanted to play with the box of toys that Mrs. Lucas gave me. When I opened the toy box, Dak stood in the box, took off his military cap and made faces at me, and said "good morning." "

"He looks like a doll?" Gao Fei guessed.

"It's a toy soldier." Alice gestured with her little hands. "It's about a foot tall, wearing a beautiful red uniform, dressed like a Fitzgerald dragoon."

"Strangely, I remember there was no toy soldier in the box. God knows where he came from!"

Alice tilted her head in confusion.

"At first I was frightened by him and wanted to tell Miss Bronte, but Duck persuaded me not to do so and said he was happy to make friends with me."

"If Miss Bronte finds out, he will be captured and put on display in a shop window. In that case, he will lose his freedom and I will lose a good friend."

"How can you believe these sweet lies!"

Martin scoffed.

"I don't know..." Alice looked confused, "What Dark said to me seems to have magic power... The more I listened to it, the more it made sense. Now that I think about it, I realize that he was bluffing me."

Even if a child is easy to fool, he will not be easily convinced by a stranger with just two or three words, not to mention that the other person is a little monster who broke into his home. Everyone can see that this guy has a suspicious origin.

Goofy opened the astrolabe and looked at Alice's status bar.

Unfortunately, now that she has woken up and is in good health, it is unclear whether she has been under a charm spell.

"What did that little monster named Duck do to you?"

Jiang Feng asked Alice implicitly, worried that this naive little girl would be harmed by the devil in her ignorance.

"At first, Duck was chatting with me, doing somersaults, making faces, and entertaining me with all kinds of funny tricks. I quite liked him at that time."

Alice pursed her lips in regret.
