Origin of the Curse(2)

"We'll go directly to the village center. Once we exit this alleyway, remember to act as if you belong." The deformed man still had that crazed smile on his face as he glanced at Heisenberg, Ricardo, and Calvin.

The three didn't react that much for the deformed man didn't even give them the chance to reply.

He walked out of the alleyway with the three and the others realized that the village had undergone a huge change.

"There are villagers!" Ricardo almost exclaimed, but his words were muffled by Calvin who was quick to react.

"Shhh... Don't make a sound. Act as if you belong here..." Calvin said.

Ricardo nodded his head in a serious manner before he swept his gaze at the other villagers. Most of them were women and there was this deadpan look on their faces. Their cheeks were hollow, while their eyes were sunken. Their lips were cracked and dry, yet one could vaguely make out a few emotions from their indifferent eyes.
