The man frowned with an expression of surprise. He was silent at first and thought deeply. After a moment, the man lowered his head and glanced at the pictures on the table and then looked at Tom: "So, then, this picture..."

Without Will continuing to speak, the boy nodded naturally and replied: "Well, the person in the painting was drawn based on the impression in my mind after I returned home."

In fact, the key clues were revealed at this point in the conversation, and Will already had a general understanding of the whole thing.

First of all, it is certain that Tom did not lie. As a young child who has not been polluted by society, the possibility of the other party lying is extremely low, and the above description is also very likely to have actually happened. Let’s not talk about who the mysterious man in the suit is.

Who, just relying on Tom's narration process just now is enough

It is enough to scare others, enough to make any adult feel terrified after hearing it! At this moment, Will himself felt exactly this way. Yes, Tom was very young, only seven or eight years old, when he encountered this kind of thing.

Naturally, he would not feel too scared. On the contrary, at that time, he should be more

Most of them are curious, which can be clearly seen from the doubtful expression on the boy's face throughout the narration. Of course, the above is not the point. The point is the mysterious man in the suit in the boy's mouth. The boy was remembered by Tom because of his strange appearance and even drew it on the paper.

The faceless man, if Tom is

If you are too young to realize the fear, then as an adult, Will can't seem to calm down. In other words, from the moment he heard the narration, Will has already felt chills running down his back and sweating all over his body, as if he was hit by a sudden wave.

I can't help but shiver as the cool breeze blows...

The reason was none other than the scene he saw with his own eyes within a few minutes. He could swear that he saw the faceless man in the suit. He had witnessed him appear at close range in the living room at the scene, whether it was his clothing, appearance or behavior.

The shape is almost the same as what Tom described!

(What's going on? Is the faceless man real? This, this is not consistent with common sense? Is there such a person in the world? Is there a person with a head as big as a small tree and no hair or facial features? Could it be that the other person

Lying? No, from Tom's narration, I really can't hear the other party showing any signs of lying. That's it.

That's right, but the question is...if the other party is indeed not lying, then what is the faceless man in the suit that Tom described before? After all, it is impossible for humans to look like that. It is completely impossible to exist in reality. First of all,

Not to mention anything else, it cannot be explained from a scientific perspective alone.)

(There is also the dark woods to the south. According to Tom, the faceless man once appeared at the edge of the woods...)

(The dark woods and the faceless man in a suit. What is the connection between the two?)

The scene became silent, and his thoughts were surging. At this moment, looking across the coffee table, and looking at Tom, whose expression did not seem to be fake at all, Will continued to be silent for a long time. It was not until a minute passed quietly that the man finally stopped thinking and guessing, and then

He asked Tom again in as calm a tone as possible: "Have you ever told your parents about your experience?"

"Of course I did. In fact, I told my mother what I saw and heard on the road before I even got home. I also told my father when I got home."

"Then what?"

"Well, then I was first beaten by my mother, and then my father called me to the bedroom and gave me a scolding. I was forbidden to go to the woods to the south. I was afraid of being beaten, so I had nowhere to play.

Within a few days, the place of play was moved to another abandoned farm nearby. No, it should be playing in your yard."

"call!"

As the conversation between the two parties came to an end, Will, who was increasingly chilled, first forced himself to take a deep breath. Then, before Tom on the other side could say anything, Will, who was enveloped by an inexplicable fear, left the sofa and walked straight away.

Get up, walk around the central coffee table, and finally

Then he walked up to the boy and put his hand on the boy's shoulder while staring down into his eyes. Then he said in an unquestionable tone: "Listen Tom, your parents are right. From now on, you should not go to the woods to the south to play again."

If you want to play, you can come to my place, I'm always welcome."

"Huh?"

Looking at the serious expression of the brown-haired man in front of him, and listening to the man's solemn words, Tom was puzzled. In addition, he was still young and didn't think deeply. As expected, Will's words just fell, and the boy instinctively raised his hand to scratch his head with doubts on his face.

He paused twice and asked casually: "Why?"

Adults don't understand the world of children, but similarly, how can children understand the world of adults? It is true that Tom is much smarter than his peers and has a talent for painting, but after all, he is a child after all, just seven or eight years old.

Just a child, the world view of children at this age

He couldn't understand what that encounter meant, and the child couldn't detect the deep horror. Faced with Tom's confusion, Will, who had some kind of guess in his heart but couldn't explain it, could only force out a smile, and soon

He answered with the most intuitive external threat: "Because there are wolves in the woods!"

"Wolf? Really, really? You didn't lie to me?".

Sure enough, the child's simple way of thinking caused the boy in front of him to show a double expression of surprise and fear after hearing Will's answer. That's right. If it is said that children cannot be afraid because they cannot understand certain things that are terrifying to think about, then in the end,

The best solution is undoubtedly to change the means, from complex explanations to security threats, using things that the other party can fully understand.

Just intimidate. What kind of thing is both easy to understand and extremely threatening? A man-eating wolf is undoubtedly the most direct and effective deterrent to Tom, so Will using a wolf to scare Tom is more likely to induce the other person than explaining it in detail.

Fear, after all, Will understands children, and his purpose is nothing more than to hope that the other party will be obedient and not go to the south woods again.

"Of course it's true! I've seen a gray wolf on the edge of the woods when I drove through that woods before!"

"Gray wolf?"

"A large carnivore that is twice as big as the wolf you see in the zoo. It can kill a sheep in one bite. Even adult shepherd dogs don't dare to confront it, and humans don't.

You only dare to face them if you are carrying a gun. Well, since you want to hear it, let me tell you how many people that thing has eaten in the past..."

With his rich knowledge, Will completely dominated the conversation, easily changing the topic in the chat, avoiding sensitive topics and returning to normal chat.

It is said that time often flies very quickly when chatting. It is true. As time goes by, the sun gradually sets in the west. Not long after, the originally dazzling sun gradually turns red, and its position becomes farther and farther west from the top of the head at noon.

Slant until the sunset appears in the western sky, until the sky gradually darkens and evening comes.

Inside the farm living room.

"Huh? It's getting dark so soon? I think we should go over there. My father and mother believe that dinner has been prepared by now. Will, let's go quickly!".

After drinking 3 bottles of Coke, he put down the water glass and suddenly came to his senses. He watched the sky outside the window gradually darken. Tom did not forget his father’s original instructions. He stood up and left his seat and started greeting. As for Will, to be honest, although he personally

Not very willing, but due to Father Tom’s previous warm invitation

, and because he was really hungry at the moment, the man finally agreed readily, and immediately left the farm at the urging of the boy, and rushed straight to Tom's house in the north of the farm before it was completely dark, and to another farm not far away.

During this period, we talked and laughed happily, but...

During the walk, the two people talking and laughing in the middle, whether it was Will or Tom, neither of them noticed any details, or in other words, when they were rushing to the farm halfway, something happened nearby, and something happened.

What……

The sun was setting, and darkness shrouded the sky. Under the increasingly gray sky, on both sides of the silent road, if I looked closely, I saw a person appearing inexplicably under the tree on the roadside about a hundred meters away from Will and the two of them.

A man in a black suit and a man with a slender figure and a pure white face.

At this moment, this tall, thin man in a suit with no facial features was standing under a big tree motionless, staring at the two people in front of him. Not only that, but the faceless man suddenly appeared inexplicably, as if he was closing the distance and his ears were pricking.

If you listen quietly, you can further discover that there are sounds around the man. The sounds are ups and downs and intermittent, very similar to the signal noise released by FM radio:
