However, this silence only lasted for a few seconds before other sounds were heard.
It was like... the cry of a child?
It was a very soft cry that sent chills down one's spine.
Suddenly, it was as if something was tugging on their legs.
As the soldiers opened their eyes wide, they were shocked to realize that they were surrounded by children, who were wearing red and green clothes. It was as if they were welcoming a bride.
Each of their faces were painted with big blushes, but their eyes were very dark. It was as if they had not slept for many days.
However, upon closer inspection, they realized that the dark was not caused by not sleeping.
It was because these children were not normal!
Moreover, their clothing was not modern fashion, but ancient robes.
The patterns looked very familiar, as if... they were the decorative patterns carved on the bodies of the puppets!
In an instant, fear flooded the soldiers' veins.
