Chapter 71 Dry Well
"Now, you can tell me the real reason why you don't go to Duncan's funeral?"
With his eyes taken back from the sheriff's back, Amanda looked at the girl in front of him and asked the questions she had asked before again.
As the town sheriff left, it might be obvious that the nervous look on Nancy's face relaxed a little.
She looked up at Amanda, with a hesitant expression flashing across her face, and finally spoke with a little hope: "In fact, we all know that Duncan chose to commit suicide entirely because of that nightmare..."
"Nightmare?"
"I know, you won't believe it."
Noting the expression on Amanda's face, Nancy said in a self-deprecating tone.
"Just like everyone in Chunmu Town, you never believe everything we say, even if Duncan has died because of it..."
"No."
Shaking his head, denying Nancy's words.
Amanda stared at the girl's eyes and said, looking at her word by word.
"In fact, that's what I'm going to come to Chunmu Town."
Hearing Amanda's words, Nancy's originally desperate eyes suddenly burst into a color of hope. She covered her mouth and cried and vented all her grievances, fears and fears over the past period.
And Amanda was also amid the girl's intermittent description.
I know what happened in Chunmu Town over the past period of time.
...
Plop—
The sound of stones plunging into the water surface sounded.
The boy opened his eyes.
A rotten smell poured into his nose and the boy couldn't help but cough violently.
He covered his nose, endured the stench that filled the entire nose, and tried to widen his eyes and look at everything around him.
The dark environment made everything blur, and only a lonely dry well in front of me stood there quietly.
Plop—
The sound of stones plunging into the water sounded again.
Hearing the sound coming from the dry well, a curious look flashed across the boy's face.
Take steps and walk towards the dry well.
However, after walking a few steps, he seemed to suddenly feel something wrong again, stopped and took a few steps back again.
"Why do I..."
Looking at the strange scenes around, a puzzled thought began to emerge in the boy's mind.
He remembered that he should be at home on Yushu Street, but everything around him is completely different from the home he remembers.
However, before the doubts in the boy's mind were completely formed.
A huge force coming from behind pushed his body towards the dry well.
The boy turned his head in panic and looked behind him, but found that there was nothing except the dark scenery.
When I came to the dry well, the power behind me disappeared.
The boy looked down at the dry well in front of him, which was only one step away from him, and a sense of inexplicable fear arose.
However, while fear was also irrepressible curiosity spread in the boy's heart.
"Guru."
Standing by the dry well, the boy swallowed his saliva and walked towards the dry well with his stiff steps.
When he arrived at the edge of the dry well, he mustered up his courage to poke his head out and glanced into the well.
"Huh~"
The smell of rottenness that hit the face made the boy's face look uncomfortable.
He held his breath and looked at the dry well.
The empty appearance in the well made the boy subconsciously relieved.
However, before he could raise his heart, he was completely down.
From the dry well, the sharp iron claws suddenly stretched out grabbed the boy's neck.
"Hey, welcome to my house as a guest, kid."
...
“No clue.”
Chunmu Town ended their respective investigations.
Amanda and Agent Zhou met again in the restaurant on Elm Street.
"I checked the computers left by Duncan, and apart from the live video I left behind, there were not many clues that were useful to this investigation."
"Michaels and his wife are still unwilling to explain the news they are hiding."
Frowning, Agent Zhou's investigation this time did not have much useful gains.
"I asked Duncan's friends in the town."
After listening to the investigation work of Agent Zhou Busan, Amanda spoke and gave him the clues he had obtained.
"It seems that nightmare is not just tormenting Duncan."
"The children in Yushu Street have been having similar nightmares since a week ago. In their dreams, they saw a dry well, and the sound of stones pouring into the water kept ringing..."
"After discovering that they are all having the same nightmare, they explored the source of the nightmare. In the police station archives on Elm Street, a period of Mixin was recorded twenty years ago. There was an unknown case, describing a man called Freddy. In the photo, Freddy wore a red and green horizontal liner similar to the flashing phantom in their dreams."
"Freddy."
Hearing Amanda's description, Agent Zhou couldn't help but murmur in a low voice.
Then, he frowned and said, "Since Freddy committed a case in the town twenty years ago, it is impossible for the town's sheriff and residents to not know this."
Remind the appearance of the priest and the parents of suicide children at the funeral of the church.
As well as the town sheriff's deliberate concealment, Agent Zhou began to doubt everything about Chunmu Town.
"Perhaps, behind the town, there are some unknown secrets. The unknown case 20 years ago hidden by the town sheriff and residents is the source of nightmare and all the incidents. It is precisely because of a deliberately concealed case that happened in the town for twenty years that has led to the result of the teenagers in the town being trapped in a nightmare today."
"Freddy is the wronged soul in an unknown case twenty years ago. He is taking some kind of revenge against the children of the town residents."
Agent Zhou's speculation is also part of Amanda's inner conjecture.
Just, all of this.
Is it really that simple to revenge the wronged soul?
Amanda never could confirm this.
But regardless of the truth behind it, the town sheriff is definitely the key point, because he is holding the truth about the Freddy case twenty years ago.
Bang-
In the restaurant on the Earshu Street, just as Amanda was thinking about the fact that he should get the truth twenty years ago through the mouth of the town sheriff.
The door of the restaurant was suddenly opened from the inside to the outside.
The town sheriff, who was the suspect, walked in. His eyes swept over the deserted business in the restaurant, and soon discovered Amanda sitting in the corner.
"What happened."
As Amanda and Agent Zhou looked at each other, the town sheriff spoke.
