The child lying on the bed opened his mouth slightly and let out a silent cry.

As the weird Santa Claus opened his mouth and took a breath, her expression gradually became painful and distorted.

His entire face was wrinkled into a ball, completely swallowed up by tremendous pain.

But his body remained motionless.

After taking a sip, the weird Santa Claus walked towards the outside of the room with an expression of satisfaction and unsatisfied desire on his face.

As he walked down the stairs, his body turned into a wisp of black smoke, which inconspicuously merged into the smoke of the fireplace, entered through the chimney, and exited through the chimney.

After returning to the sleigh and sitting down, Santa Claus picked up the reins, and the reindeer took steps to pull the sleigh into the sky.

Xia Yanzhen looked up and saw that the snow under his feet suddenly exploded, forming a clearing.

The whole person has disappeared in place.

A roar.

Santa Claus had no time to react before he was jumped up and pierced by Xia Yanzhen like a sharp arrow.

Yes, if Xia Yan really can’t see it, it “doesn’t exist”.

He passed through the sleigh and Santa's body.

Only the cursed bone blade in his hand pierced the sleigh, leaving a horrific wound on Santa Claus that almost disemboweled him.

If an ordinary person was injured like this, even if there was no poison, he would be killed on the spot.

Xia Yanzhen adjusted his body shape in mid-air, lowered his head and looked down.

Even before Santa Claus could react, the terrifying poison quickly spread throughout his body and exploded, turning his whole person into a puff of ashes.

Not only that, the sleigh and reindeer also turned into ashes and disappeared completely without making any sound.

Xia Yanzhen's upward trend gradually stopped, and Tiamat flew over, letting him fall on her.

"Not dead."

Xia Yanzhen looked around, "Did you see anything?"

"No." Tiamat looked around very alertly and saw nothing unusual.

Xia Yanzhen should have completed his mission by hacking Santa Claus to death.

But now one person and one dragon are not sleepy at all, which is enough to prove that Santa Claus is not dead.

Additional evidence is that the poison of the Cursed Spirit Bone Blade is indeed very powerful, but it is not so poisonous that it will completely wipe out "people".

Even if an ordinary person is hit by the Cursed Spirit Bone Blade, he will not die like that.

Don't forget, the cursed spirit bone blade has been continuously strengthened, and the cursed poison will spread when it touches the wound.

There are no corpses and no wounds, how can we spread the poison?

At this point, it is impossible for the Cursed Spirit Bone Blade to poison a person to death.

Santa Claus, along with his sleigh and reindeer, disappeared for another reason.

As for the reason, maybe it’s not the real person?

Or the poison hadn't completely killed it, and it had escaped using some special method.

Xia Yan really couldn't see Santa Claus, so he could only use the Mirror of Truth to make up for it a little. Whether he could find out what was hidden around him still depended on Tiamat.

Don't underestimate a dragon's detection capabilities.

"No, not at all." Unfortunately, Tiamat quickly gave the answer.

It found no trace of Santa Claus.

The other party is like a drop of water melting into the ocean and disappearing completely.

"trouble."

Xia Yanzhen stood down from Tiamat and said, "Keep looking."

The two of them split up into two groups, one up and one down. Xia Yanzhen even filmed a ghost DV, looking for traces of Santa Claus.

But there was no gain.

"when!"

The bell tower in Center Town rang out, indicating that the time had reached nine o'clock in the evening.

"when!"

"when!"

The loud ringing of the bell was not obscured by the wanton wind, and was enough to spread throughout half of the town.

I don’t know if the bell will ring every hour. If it keeps ringing there, what will happen when I sleep at night?

Xia Yanzhen's divergent thinking is obviously redundant.

Because after ringing three times, the bell suddenly becomes low. If you are not very close to the bell tower, you will not hear the sound.

If it was just three times, it wouldn't be considered a nuisance.

This can only be a pain for those who are very light sleepers, but with such light sleep, even without the sound of the bell, they probably wouldn’t be able to sleep well.

Xia Yanzhen happened to be near the bell tower and listened to the sound of the bell getting fainter.

"Master! Captain, captain!" Tiamat's voice suddenly came from the team channel, "It's not good!"

"What?" Xia Yanzhen's expression remained unchanged.

Tiamat did not have the majesty of a dragon in front of him, and she yelled a lot.

"I'm being targeted again! Hey, can I communicate this time?" Tiamat said.

"What's the meaning?"

"It seems like I came to a weird place again like last time." Tiamat described her situation.

When it heard the first bell, it suddenly felt dizzy, sleepy and comatose.

Immediately afterwards, the sky and the earth spun, and its dragon body failed to resist and fell from the sky.

Fortunately, we managed to hold it together at the last moment, and there was no incident of the dragon falling to the ground or falling on the house.

When Tiamat came to her senses, the bells had disappeared.

And its location has also seen changes.

The town is still a small town, but it is not the same town as it was at the beginning.

The wind and snow in the sky weakened, and the originally pure white snow inexplicably gained a layer of decay and decay, turning from white to yellowish brown.

Not only the snow, but also the town's buildings and roads became dilapidated.

It was covered with all kinds of dirt, and it looked like blood that had dried for a long time.

There are also all kinds of rust and spots.

It seems to have been abandoned for many years. The only thing different from the abandoned town is that the buildings in the town are still very complete.

Only defeated but not broken.

"Is it related to the sound of the bell?" Xia Yanzhen asked.

"It should be." Tiamat has turned into a human form and is hiding in the shadows. It's a new arrival, so be careful and don't be shabby.

"You should do a little investigation first." Xia Yanzhen said, "If anything happens, tell me immediately."

He looked towards the clock tower not far ahead.

"Okay." Tiamat agreed and cautiously began to truly sneak.

Although based on strength and size, it is definitely an adult dragon, but in terms of true "age", it is just a young dragon.

Of course, the young dragon must be careful not to lose the dragon.

On the other side, Xia Yanzhen has arrived under the bell tower.

This bell tower occupies a large area and is built in Gothic style. It is actually part of the church.

Among them, the bell tower is the tallest and most conspicuous.

Xia Yanzhen came to the door and pushed open the locked door. After entering, he saw the internal structure of the church.

There are benches in the rectangular space, and a cross is erected in the innermost position facing the door.

There are also various sculptures on both sides.

There were no lights in the church, but a large number of candles were lit, and the dim and flickering light barely illuminated the interior.

"What is this sculpture?"

Xia Yanzhen looked at the sculptures on both sides of the church.

These sculptures are placed in a small recessed space with guardrails separating the outside. They are all human-shaped.

There are men, women, and children.
