"Didn't the Lord ever send a letter?", Mr. White looked at Ethan with a puzzled face, "If it can't fly, then how are you supposed to send this letter?"
"Ahahaha! No, I was just joking,"Ethan quickly changed the subject, "Mr. White, help me see what's written inside."
"Mm! Mm! Let me take a look."
Only then did Mr. White nod again and again, getting ready to open the letter.
But Ethan noticed that the paper bird, which had been behaving just fine a moment ago, suddenly pecked hard at Mr. White's glove.
It hurt so much that Mr. White sucked in a sharp breath, "Hiss! Good thing I'm wearing gloves. I knew you little beast would bite me."
"…"
Ethan was completely stunned by this magical world.
At the same time, he had to admire his own quick thinking.
If he hadn't changed the topic fast enough, he might have been exposed by Mr. White as someone not from this world.
Although, even if he were exposed, it probably wouldn't matter.
But who knew if something unexpected might happen? If the will of the world found out, maybe he'd get dragged off and sacrificed or something.
'Better not take that risk.'
"Lord, the general content of this letter is…"
Mr. White cleared his throat before continuing, "Mary, although the doll's soul is eternal and cannot be destroyed, its body is very fragile. So according to your request, I've found a body for the cursed doll."
"Who's the doll?"
Halfway through, Mr. White suddenly asked.
Ethan's heart skipped a beat. He immediately thought of that creepy puppet doll that had avenged its master. If it hadn't sent a message to Witch Marlene, he might never have exposed his whereabouts.
If Mr. White hadn't happened to be here, he might already be back on Earth meeting God by now.
But about the doll, Ethan did not want to reveal anything easily.
So he simply shook his head and said, "How would I know anything about the Wilderness Witch?"
"That makes sense."
Mr. White nodded, believing him, "Then I'll keep reading the letter."
"Mary, although the cursed doll is an undying existence, it is itself a cursed being. If you stay in contact with it for a long time, it will have a great impact on you."
"So I found you a box that can block the curse. This box is a treasure made from divine wood. And that piece of divine wood was once carved into a statue and placed in the Holy Temple, bathed in holy light. It's a good thing that can cleanse all sins."
"It took me a lot of effort to steal it from the Holy Temple."
"So you better compensate me properly."
"Petrification potion? How about that?"
"…"
As Ethan listened to what Mr. White read, a different thought began to form in his mind.
From Mary's letter, it was clear that the cloth doll existed as an immortal being. But when he had destroyed the mud monster, it seemed like he had almost wrecked that cloth doll too.
'Is that thing still alive at the bottom of the pit?'
'If I can take it in, that would be a rare trump card.'
"Mr. White, does the letter say where the box that blocks the curse was placed?", Ethan quickly asked.
This was the key to whether he could retrieve that puppet doll, that cursed killing weapon.
Mr. White scratched his head, "If he hasn't delivered it yet, it should be inside the tail ring, right?"
Hearing that, Ethan immediately focused his attention into the tail ring and started searching quickly.
Sure enough, inside the tail ring, he found a small Western style coffin. It was only slightly larger than a big book in length and width, and about the height of a palm in thickness.
Ethan was about to take it out, but remembering what Mr. White had just said, he asked first, "I found the little box. I can take it out, right?"
"The box itself should be fine. After all, the box can't fly."
"That's good."
Only then did Ethan feel at ease and take the box out.
But the moment he took it out, he saw that the lid of the small coffin was being slammed from the inside, making loud banging sounds.
It was as if something inside was desperately smashing against the lid.
"What the hell, what's inside?"
Ethan was so startled that his hand trembled, and he dropped it straight onto the table.
Hearing that, Mr. White immediately screamed in panic, "Hold it down, hurry and hold it down!"
"It has to be the cursed doll inside. If it gets out, both of us are dead!"
"That thing, as long as it's alive, dies on contact!"
"You're kidding!"
Ethan was almost scared to death too. He quickly pressed down on the coffin lid with both hands.
But no one expected that the coffin lid couldn't be held down at all.
"So hot!"
The moment Ethan's hand touched the coffin lid, it felt like he had touched a red hot iron plate. He was burned so badly that he jerked his hand back immediately.
"You can't let go! It's about to come out!"
When Mr. White reacted and hurriedly put on his black dragon leather gloves to press down the coffin lid, it was already too late.
"Hisss!"
A thick gray black smoke suddenly rose from inside the small coffin, the heavy smoke directly blocked both of their vision. Then Ethan heard the sound of the coffin lid hitting the ground beside his ear.
BANG!
That thing had gotten out.
Without a word, Ethan immediately took out his enchanted dragon bow and splitting arrows. This wasn't his first time dealing with this kind of thing.
Last time that cloth doll had tormented him so badly he almost lost his mind.
And now again?
"It's over! It's over!"
Mr. White was even more shaken than Ethan, "This kind of cursed doll has no intelligence at all."
"They were created for one purpose only, to eliminate the enemy."
"So it's programmed so that as long as there's one living creature in this place, it will definitely find it and kill it."
"We're dead today!"
Without saying a word, Ethan first threw on his invisibility cloak.
'As long as someone else dies, it's not me.'
'I don't need to run faster than the cursed doll. I just need to run faster than you. Then the one who dies will be you, not me.'
After putting on the invisibility cloak and hiding in a suitable spot, Ethan finally spoke up, "Then is there no other way to kill this thing?"
"No!"
Mr. White's voice was almost crying, "This thing exists as an immortal being. Either you lock it back into a coffin made of divine wood, or you cleanse it directly with holy light."
"Turn it into an angel doll. Otherwise, there's no way at all!"
