Train to Another World.

Chapter 411 Abnormality
Pat felt like his head was splitting, no, it was like a real crack appeared in his head, and many scattered fragments poured out from the crack.

······
"Miya, this is for you."

"Flowers? Where did they come from?"

"A group of merchants passed through Cliffview City, and I happened to have some food stored."

"Thank you, it's beautiful. Also, don't exchange food for flowers anymore, you've lost weight."

······
"Miya, I heard a piece of news. The flowers of those merchants were all found in underground caves. The sunlight on the surface is too strong, and the flowers cannot survive. Only at the exit of those underground caves leading to the surface can they bloom."

"Pat, I'll take you to a place where you might find some flowers."

"where to?"

"Just come with me."

······
"Pat, will you marry me someday?"

"Yes, I rejected all the marriages my father arranged for me. I said I would only marry you."

"My family is not bad, why doesn't your father want to marry into my family?"

"...He said that he and your father already have a very good relationship, and it would be a waste to use me as a marriage partner. Water should be used on the cracks."

"Hahahaha, if it doesn't work out, I'll ask my father to go to your house to discuss the marriage."

"Forget it, it's too embarrassing."

"If we get married in the future, what will we name our child?"

"If it's a boy, it'll be Montali, which means a towering mountain. If it's a girl, it'll be Leilani, which means a blooming flower."

······
"Miya, I've sent people into the underground riverbed to look for flowers. We should be able to find them soon."

"What?! If you don't know the way, it's very dangerous inside. I only dare to take one or two familiar passages. Also, you promised me not to tell anyone about the secret passage."

"As long as you can find the flowers you like, a little sacrifice is no big deal. When they find the flowers, I will find a way to make them keep it a secret."

"How many times have I told you that civilians' lives are also lives. You will become the mayor of the city in the future. You must take care of your people."

"Okay, okay, I will listen to you."

······
"Miya, my father is seriously ill, so I won't be coming to see you recently."

"Uncle Wharton still doesn't agree?"

"No, I will find a way to convince him. And..."

"And what?"

"My father is very ill this time, I'm afraid... Alas! At least after I become the city lord, I can decide my own marriage."

"Although I want to marry you, I also hope that Uncle Wharton can get better. Our marriage should have his blessing."

"Let's not talk about that. By the way, my people found something underground. I'll go back and see what it is. It might be very valuable and can be exchanged for a lot of flowers. Once I have two bouquets of flowers, I'll come to propose to you."

"You still asked someone to look for you. If you continue like this, I won't marry you."

"Then I'll go find it myself."

"You're not allowed to go either."

"Okay, okay, I will listen to you."

······
Seeing that Pat had fainted and seemed unable to answer, William took out a rope and tied Pat up casually. While tying him up, he asked Xiang Miya, "Have you seen his daughter?"

Miya shook her head: "We once talked about this. If we get married and have children, the girl will be named Leilani, which means blooming flower."

William nodded without comment, then looked at Hai Yihai: "Tell me, what is the deal between you two?"

Hai Yi Hai said: "We fight for him, and he is responsible for covering our presence and providing us with food."

William nodded. This argument sounded more reliable. After all, these ghosts were quite powerful. They only needed human flesh to be fed. In this terrible world, for a city lord, it might be easier to feed them than to feed the city guards.

Hai Yi Hai then said, “There is one more thing.”

William glanced at him: "What's the matter?"

"We haven't hunted since we came here. He always provides us with food. Every time he brings food, the blood is drained out." Li Zhuoguang looked at Old Pierre: "Where are the guards Pat brought?"

"Except for one person who returned to Cliff Watching City in advance, the others were subdued by the city guards and imprisoned in the dungeon."

"Bring them here."

After Old Pierre gave the order, several people who had obviously been beaten were soon brought into the reception room. As soon as they came in, they saw their city lord fainted on the ground.

Just as they were about to rush forward, they were stopped by the Haichao City guards with long swords.

Li Zhuoguang looked at them and said, "As you can see, your city lord wanted to assassinate Old Pierre, but I stopped him. Now I want to ask you some questions. I know the answers to some of these questions, but I don't know the answers to others. You'd better answer truthfully.

If your answers are different from what I know, I will stab your city lord every time you make a mistake."

"No!" Mia wanted to speak out to stop him, but Old Pierre grabbed her and stopped her from saying anything with an angry look. He was about to ask the maid waiting in the corridor to take her back to her room to rest.

"Wait, she can't leave yet. I might ask her some questions next." Li Zhuoguang spoke up to stop Old Pierre from doing that.

A trace of worry flashed across old Pierre's face, but he still left his eldest daughter in the room.

Li Zhuoguang looked at those people and asked, "Are you Pat's personal attendants?"

"Young... Oh no, the master does not have his own attendant. Usually, the city defense troops take turns to serve as attendants."

"Who of you has been with him longer?"

A sturdy man heard this, hesitated for a moment, and raised his hand: "My father is Master Wharton's servant. I grew up with the master, and he often asked me to be his servant."

Li Zhuoguang looked back at Miya, who understood and said, "His name is Colin, and what he said is true."

Li Zhuoguang asked Colin again: "Did you know that Pat was married? Did he have a daughter?"

Colin glanced at Mia cautiously and replied, "The master has always wanted to marry Miss Mia and has never had any relationship with other women, let alone having a daughter."

"So has Pat behaved in any unusual way lately?"

Colin recalled: "If there is anything abnormal, it is that the master has become a little cruel recently. Although he was not as kind as Master Wharton before, he would treat civilians well at the request of Miss Mia.

But recently he started to vent his anger on the servants in the mansion over trivial matters. If someone made a mistake, he would be killed by the master. I heard that even the corpse was taken outside the city to be used as bait for hunting snakes and lizards. "

"When did it start?"

"The master seemed to often send people out to look for things. A year ago, he said he had found something rare, but when the master came back, he said that the servants had deceived him and found nothing, so he killed everyone.

Since then, Master has been a little different. It has become more serious after Master Wharton's death."

"It started a year ago. How many times on average does your master kill one person?"

"About one kill a week."

Qin Daniu frowned and said, "I've been killing people like this for a year, and you didn't resist?"

Colin shook his head. "Although this is scary, it is not unacceptable. Some city lords like to regularly hunt the civilians in the city as prey, but there are still many people who find ways to live in that city.

After all, the problems we face outside the city are much more serious than this.”

Knowing the general situation, Li Zhuoguang did not say much, but just looked at Hai Yihai: "When did you come here?"

Hai Yihai answered honestly: "More than three months ago."

"How you eat."

Hai Yi Hai: "The people who came with me are all restrained people. We eat very little, and we only need to eat one every two weeks."

"Restraint?"

William explained, "There are two groups of monsters like them. One is the hedonistic group, who eat whatever they want. The other is the restrained group, who only eat according to their minimum needs.

But don't think they are compassionate, they just think that keeping humans alive to work for them can create more value. They can even use the value created by humans to buy people to eat on the black market, which is more cost-effective.

So-called restraint, for them, is just a way to accumulate wealth.”

Li Zhuoguang originally thought that the cannibal ghosts were just monsters that eat people, but he didn't expect them to be so versatile: "It seems that before this group of cannibal ghosts arrived, Pat had already started killing people and taking blood. Even if he wasn't feeding the cannibal ghosts, he was feeding other things.

It seems necessary to go to Wangya City to take a look."
