Weird Star Witch

"Did the wizard lose vital signs after the burning?"

In Leman Town, trainee patrolman Rudolph lowered his head and shone the flashlight on the "Confirmation of Burning Results", and felt that it was unnecessary to ask this question...

He raised his head and let the flashlight shine up and down on the charred corpse. This is no longer a question of death or death, but a question of how well done...

After a little thought, Rudolph wrote very objectively: the lower body is well done, the torso is seven-tenths done, and the head... five-tenths done. It is confirmed that the wizard has died completely after the burning.

Rudolph also wrote a thoughtful little suggestion: It is recommended to hang upside down to burn the wizard upside down next time, and burn it thoroughly.

It doesn't matter whether the feet are cooked or not, it is more important to make the head cooked thoroughly.

A burst of cold wind blew around, drilling up along Rudolph's trouser legs, making Rudolph a little uneasy. He scribbled in the light of the flashlight, and he wrote faster and faster.

The full moon sacrifice in Leman Town has just ended. The crowd has dispersed and the town square is quiet.

Two lonely black shadows stand in the middle of the empty square.

The shorter one is the trainee patrolman Rudolph.

The taller one is the stake. There is also a wizard who was burned to death on the stake. At this time, he has merged with the stake and cannot be distinguished from it.

The prisoner at the stake is very pitiful. Only a charred corpse is left. Rudolph is also pitiful. He has to come to collect the corpse of the prisoner at the stake so late.

The smell around is not good. The firewood pile has been burned dry. The smell of ash mixed with the smell of burnt barbecue makes Rudolph feel nauseous.

Rudolph endured the discomfort and continued to fill out the "Confirmation Form for the Result of the Burning".

"Confirmation of the identity of the person to be executed."

He raised his head, and the light of the flashlight intensified the bumps on the face of the charred corpse.

The convex part is the charred and cracked skin, and the concave part is the dark mouth and eye sockets.

Before the wizard died, he was tortured by the Tribunal, which is an institution that specializes in dealing with dangerous elements. They are very professional, but a little too professional. I don’t know where the wizard’s eyes are.

Rudolph has only been here for half a month and is not used to such a creepy scene.

Under the moonlight of the full moon and the light of the flashlight, Rudolph hurriedly lowered his head and wrote on the paper: The identity of the person to be executed is correct, and it is confirmed to be the wizard captured in the witch hunt two weeks ago.

Rudolph will not remember the facial features of this wizard wrongly, because he always appears in Rudolph’s nightmares. It was also because of that witch hunt that the original body died, and Rudolph came here and became the current Rudolph.

Rudolph searched the memory of the original body and found that the original body was a 17-year-old trainee patrolman with a quirky personality.

How quirky is it? The police station, the court, and the witch hunting team of more than 50 people in total. The original body rushed too fast and was the first unlucky person to be killed by the wizard. He didn't even have time to say "raise your hands" in front of the wizard.

It was already late. After quickly filling out the form, Rudolf took out a large sack and put the wizard and the stake together.

It was too difficult to take the charred corpse off the stake. Rudolf didn't want to do it so delicately. He picked up the baton and knocked on the dry and crisp stake, preparing to take the stake and the wizard away together.

The square was reverberating with crisp bangs, and occasionally a little noise. Maybe one of the legs of the charred corpse was broken, maybe the left leg, or maybe the right leg.

Presumably, the dead wizard would not care about these details...

The stake and the charred corpse were put into a sack, and then thrown into the carriage by Rudolf.

Rudolf drove the horse to the cemetery outside the town. It was too late, and the buildings on both sides of the road were only black silhouettes, slowly retreating.

After arriving at the cemetery, Rudolph walked through the tombstones, and his steps were cautious, for fear of waking up some strange things in the cemetery.

Dragging the sack all the way, Rudolph could hear the limbs of the charred corpse breaking continuously.

Poor wizard...

Soon, Rudolph came to the edge of the cemetery, which was close to the wall. Wizards don't deserve to have a good tomb, and it's good to have a horn.

What made Rudolph happy was that the gravekeeper had already dug the grave.

Rudolph remembered the sheriff's instructions. This sack was a valuable property of the police station. One after another full moon sacrifices had been sent away, and he had to hand the sack back tomorrow.

Lifting the sack, whole pieces, fragments, black, and gray were poured into the grave together.

After burying the soil, Rudolph breathed a long sigh of relief. If there were no accidents, today's work would be over.

Rudolph was folding sacks on the carriage while rushing back.

As a particular person, Rudolph would hand in a neatly folded sack.

Suddenly, Rudolph was stunned.     He felt a hard object as long as a finger in the sack. Could it be that the sack was not emptied cleanly just now?

Could this unlucky wizard have left some parts in the sack?

After stopping the carriage, Rudolph hurriedly opened the sack, lifted the bottom of the sack, and prepared to pour the wizard's parts on the roadside.

A slender object fell out from the bottom of the bag. Rudolph was surprised to find that this finger-shaped object was actually flashing a faint blue light.

A wizard is a wizard. His burned parts are so advanced and can glow...

Rudolph bent down and took a closer look. The stone in his heart fell to the ground. This did not look like a part of a person, but rather like a stone.

When he picked up the stone, he suddenly recognized that it was a star stone related to wizards. Before participating in the witch hunt, the police station organized a training session, during which this type of stone was mentioned.

When Rudolph touched the star stone, the world spun.

The moon and stars passed by quickly, and Rudolph's back of the head fell to the ground, and it bounced up and down several times.

He didn't care about the pain in the back of his head, and rubbed his eyes with his hand.

There were double images of the stars in the sky. How could he have astigmatism after falling down?

He quickly closed his eyes and prepared to let his eyes relax, but he didn't expect that he saw another starry sky in his mind.

The starry sky in his mind had a strong sense of unreality, just like an abstract oil painting. It was more like a star map than a starry sky.

The glowing star stone that he just picked up was like a switch, allowing Rudolph to touch something mysterious.

Unlike the real starry sky, this star map was so dim, the moon, planets, and stars were all dark gray, and the whole star map seemed to be hidden behind frosted glass.

Just when Rudolph didn't understand, the star stone in his hand suddenly disappeared.

In the star map in my mind, a bright meteor streaked across the gray starry sky and hit the dim moon hanging in the center of the star map.

Then, the moon on the star map was no longer gray, but emitted a soft light like the real moon.

Those stars were still dim, which made the moon look so bright.

When the meteor hit the moon, a flash of dazzling light burst out around the moon. The starlight slowly fell from the moon and finally floated on the ground of the star map.

Rudolf's consciousness approached these starlights and found that they were three small stars floating in the air.

In the light of the stars, some phrases can be vaguely distinguished: full moon whispers, moon disaster, night charm.

What is this? A golden finger that came from across? Some kind of lottery system?

The stars in the sky are all dim. Do they have to light up all the stars? What kind of cattle and horses can complete such a large workload?

Rudolf no longer cares about the star map, but looks at the three suspended stars.

Night Charm? It feels like something for women, not suitable.

Moon Disaster? It doesn't sound auspicious, so forget it.

Full Moon Whispering? This one seems a little better than the other two.

When Rudolph's consciousness touched the floating star representing "Full Moon Whispering", his brain suddenly seemed to explode.

"Blood is so sweet..."

"Break out of the cocoon, my little cuties..."

"Let me out..."

Countless whispers rushed into Rudolph's ears. Rudolph covered his ears, but it was useless.

After a long time, Rudolph got up from the ground.

The other whispers had gone far away, leaving only the sentence "Let me out" that kept ringing in Rudolph's ears, as if he had tinnitus.

Rudolph was very sad, astigmatism, tinnitus, auditory hallucinations... This night was spent.
