Volume 1: The Lonely Wraith Chapter 9: Darkness

Hula, Hula!

The sun gradually sets westward, and the cool breeze, which was slightly weak earlier, began to gradually increase. The trees were blown rustling, and occasionally one or two crows would pass by the sky, bringing further desolation and depression to the already dead and lonely town.

In a dark alley in Croso town, north of the town, there are currently two young people discussing what they are head-on.

Looking around, one of the middle-sized young men with a handsome face looked cold and serious, while the other fat young man looked terrified and looked terrified. He looked frightened and sweaty. He stared at the boss. After careful observation, he could even find that the obese young man's body trembled from time to time.

"You, what you said is true? We are no longer in the real world? In a mission world? And, there are squids here!?"

Listening to his friend's words full of vibrato, he stared at the other party's face that was twitching from time to time due to being too afraid, and calmed down. He Fei said: "Is this still the real world still just my personal guess, but this supernatural mission is real, and the slight you said should also exist."

After saying that, he looked down at the phone in his hand, glanced at the completely zero signal grid in the screen, looked up again, He Fei continued, "Hailong, you said it just now. At first, you also heard the 'cold sound' and the various task information left by the sound. Whether you believe it or not, you must understand that we should not think about going back at the moment. Unless we can complete the task, it may not be very good to wait for our ending."

Yes, about 10 minutes ago, while Smith and the other two were discussing the matter, Chen Hailong and He Fei left the house and came to the outside world. At first, Chen Hailong didn't dare to go out, but under He Fei's extremely strict eyes, he followed the other party out of the house and came to the street and entered an alley. Next, He Fei had no reservations and told the truth about all the experiences he had experienced since he woke up and his personal speculation.

But it was He Fei's narration that was equivalent to pushing Chen Hailong, who had been frightened for a long time, into the bottomless abyss.

Fear quietly hit his heart. In addition to breaking the world view of obese young people who have maintained 21 years of life, it also made him completely fall into unprecedented despair and panic. Chen Hailong is not a fool. If someone usually tells him about these things, he will definitely disdain and even mock the other party. However, now it is different, it is completely different. First, he was sucked into the subway station by a strange hurricane, and then appeared in a strange town for no reason. Finally, a task message that he could not forget even if he wanted to. All this was abnormal and made him feel upset. In addition, He Fei's amazing remarks just now, Chen Hailong was afraid. Although he still didn't want to believe that these were true, his subconscious told him that he would keep warning himself that he would believe He Fei's words, otherwise his ending might be really miserable!

The reason is

Pin!

There are squids here!

There is a terrifying spirit that originally only exists in folk legends but now is almost real!

As for He Fei, he had tried his phone a few minutes ago, but the results were not expected. Like Chen Hailong and Smith, there was no signal and he could not contact the outside world.

"Then, what should we do now? Do we still want to escape with those three Europeans?"

Perhaps he became increasingly worried about his own situation. After choosing to believe in his friend, Chen Hailong, who came to his senses, immediately asked one of the questions he cared most about at the moment, namely, whether to leave the town? After all, since it appeared in this deserted town inexplicably, an indescribable sense of fear has been covering him all the time, just like there are always eyes peeking at you in the dark, making you feel frightened and restless. If possible, of course he wants to leave the town and leave this place that makes him unable to sleep or eat.

He heard his friend's inquiry, He Fei shook his head and gave a very straightforward answer: "We cannot leave. The mission information has clearly warned the executor not to leave the town. Violators should be erased. Not to mention what the erasing means. Even if we want to escape, we must stay in the town for two days."

When Chen Hailong, who had already regarded He Fei as his backbone because of fear and panic, did not argue. He looked back at the alley, and then asked as if he had figured out something, "By the way, since we have become the executors, are the three guys in the room?"

Although Chen Hailong had not finished speaking, the meaning he wanted to express was very obvious. As soon as he finished speaking, He Fei argued on the spot: "No, it's impossible. You know, I asked a few people in the room earlier. Although the answer given by the other party was strange, it was strictly logical. I guess Smith and the other party should be local humans in this world. Because of their bad luck, they would accidentally enter this place, which was fundamentally different from us."

After saying his personal understanding, he paused, looked back at the alley like Chen Hailong, and hesitated for a moment. He Fei continued with a slight sighing tone: "Those people are different from us. You and I are bound here by the mission rules. To be honest, I really hope they can leave as soon as possible, after all, it is very dangerous here."

It is obvious that because of his kind nature, and it has been roughly speculated that Smith and his men are purely innocent people. Deep down, He Fei hopes that the three of them can leave the town as soon as possible. Perhaps this is the real reason why he did not stop him when the few people discussed the escape plan just now.

He Fei sighed, but for Chen Hailong, who had already been unable to take care of himself, he would not care as much as the friend in front of him. Seeing the other party shook his head and denied it, he slapped his head and recalled his earlier escape experience. Chen Hailong followed and raised a new question: "By the way, that murderous lunatic, there is a murderous lunatic in the town!"

After the words were finished, he thought that He Fei would answer immediately like before. Who would have thought that this time, especially when the word "murder" came to his ears, He Fei chose to remain silent. He did not say a word under the gaze of the fat young man, and his brows were even more tightly frowned into the word "chuan".

No one knows why He Fei showed such a look. Not only Chen Hailong didn't understand, but no one would understand if he was present. But in fact, when talking about the murderous madman, He Fei's first thought of not only is it not how terrifying or terrifying the murderous madman, but suspicion!

I doubt what the identity of the murderous lunatic is, and even doubt whether the guy who was extremely scary in the eyes of Chen Hailong and others really exists!

Because, I can't see it!

(Why can't I see that thing? But can I see Smith and the three people who were chased into the town and Chen Hailong who had gone to the entrance of the village? And when everyone was chased into the town and the madman who killed someone quickly disappeared? Something is wrong, it's very wrong)

(Well? Wait, everyone was chased into the town and killed the lunatic disappeared? Is it difficult, is it difficult)

Knock!

At the same time, when He Fei was talking to Chen Hailong, the discussions between the living room of the house, Smith and Frank were basically over.

The result of the discussion was that you didn’t have to deliberately choose the time, and acted as soon as it was dark, and quietly left the town with the help of night cover.

Anyway, this place is just a medium-sized town, and it doesn’t matter if you don’t know the road. You will always leave the town when you walk along the street.

"Okay, it's exactly 17:00 pm now, and there's almost an hour left before dark. I still remember the road when I came. Sir, we'll go back the same way."

"Frank, you bastard, really hurt us this time. If you hadn't suggested walking the path, how could I come to this place? I advise you to apologize honestly, otherwise I will not guarantee if you will receive a lawyer's letter after you go back! Huh? What about those two international students? Why are they missing?"

"How could I know? Maybe I've gone out to pee."

"No, I have to go out and have a look. I suspect that the two guys ran away early."

Ignoring the conversation between her husband and the tour guide, Smith said nothing, Martha sat still in place as before, and her body remained trembling.

Yes, she was very scared, even though she still couldn't get rid of the indescribable strange sense of fear, and strangely, the root cause of Martha's fear was not the murderous madman or the town atmosphere, but

peep!

Yes, similar to He Fei's sudden turn around not long ago, Martha also had this feeling, but her feeling was stronger than He Fei! If He Fei only noticed it based on his intuition, then Martha completely belonged to a deeper subconscious feeling. Since she entered the town, she always felt that there were eyes peeking at her!

This made her chill and even frightened until now!

But for some reason, just now, just now, just one second, the feeling of peeping became even stronger!

With this fear in mind, Martha seemed to have discovered something, so just as Smith and Frank were trying to go out to find her, Martha took action, she slowly looked up and looked over her head, looking at the roof that was not very clear because the sun was gradually turning west.

then

Appearing in the field of vision

It's a human face.

A pale woman's face, a face with only a head but no body, and a huge woman's face that is as tall as one person!

The face of a strange woman is currently floating out of thin air on the dark beam of the room. She silently looked down at herself directly above her head, looking down at everyone, and looking down at everything in the room. No one knows how long a woman's face has existed. The only thing she knows is that on top of her head and at the top of the beam of the room, there is a face of a woman peeking at everyone.

Perhaps he noticed someone had discovered him. When Martha saw the human face clearly, the pale woman's face actually smiled and grinned at Martha.

Martha was stunned.

But soon, what followed was the sudden change of color in the face and the harsh screams bursting out from the mouth:

"ah!!!"

This sudden scream scared Smith and Frank, who were about to leave the door, to death. Because the scream was too sudden, Frank, who had half his feet stepped out of the threshold, fell to the ground with an unstable body. Smith was not much stronger. In addition to being scared and trembling wildly, his heart suddenly lifted almost popped out of his throat. Fortunately, he had no heart disease, otherwise the scream alone would be enough to make him die of illness.

Of course, fear is so scared that, in fact, while being scared to death, both Smith and Frank have turned around and looked behind them, looking at the room, and looking at the screaming master Martha.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he turned around, he saw Martha running forward like a madman, rushing out of the door at an astonishing speed that was beyond reach in the past, running out of the house before everyone could react, and then ran towards the street on the right while screaming.

Da da da da da da da!

"What's wrong with you, Martha? Stop! Stop! Damn!"

As expected, although he was surprised that his wife screamed and did not understand why the other party suddenly ran away, as a husband, he saw that the other party was running farther and farther away, and cursed. Smith, who cared about his wife, still chased after him at the first time.

Similarly, when Martha screamed, the outside world, He Fei and Chen Hailong, who had just discussed some issues, didn't hear it? He was startled in his heart and looked at each other. The next second, He Fei, whose face suddenly changed, had already strode out of the alley before Chen Hailong reacted.

It was a coincidence that as soon as I returned to the street, I saw an incomprehensible scene of pursuit on the other side of the street. In front, Martha ran like a madman who suddenly became sick, and behind her husband Smith.

Seeing this scene, He Fei was slightly stunned, but soon he chased after him without saying a word as if he had made some decision. Sure enough, when he saw his friend following him, how could Chen Hailong, who ran out a little late, dared to be alone? He immediately followed him without any surprise.

Soon, accompanied by a rapid run, in just a short moment, the four of them disappeared at the end of the street.

The only thing that was left was Frank, the tour guide who was still sitting on the ground.

"Wait, wait, wait, wait for me"

At this moment, in front of the house, Frank, with a frightened look on his face, witnessing others running away, watching Martha Smith and the two Eastern students running farther and farther away until they disappeared from the corner of the street. Seeing this, the man trembled all over and sweated, and he muttered from time to time in a voice that only he could hear. Yes, it was not that he didn't want to run or follow him, but that he was so scared that he couldn't move, or because he was too timid, he still had not escaped from the initial fear.

His legs were still shaking, and he still couldn't use his strength as he had collapsed at first. After all, the incident just now was too sudden. In addition, Martha's screams shrill, he scared the short man in suit so much that he sat on the ground and couldn't recover for a long time.

Although I don't understand why the woman named Martha was suddenly afraid, and I don't understand why the other party fled, but what really scared Frank at the moment was not these, but that the others ran away and went to chase Martha, and he was forced to stay where he was because his legs were weak.

Stay alone in place.

It was not until the others ran farther and farther away, until the four of them ran out of sight. After about two minutes, Frank, who had been barely recovering, had barely gotten up. Unfortunately, he seemed to have recovered a little late. As soon as he got together, Frank wanted to keep up as soon as possible, but after scanning the surrounding environment that became darker due to the sun set, he also thought that there was a murderous madman hidden in the town. For some reason, the man in the suit was afraid. He found that he could not take a step. Not only could he not take it, but he did not even have the courage to leave the door.

It's like if you go out, you'll be discovered by a murderer.

"Hu, Hu, Hu, Hu!"

Gradually, Frank was knocked down by fear in his heart. In addition to his breathing becoming more and more rapid, he suddenly came back to his senses. The man moved. Not only did he not step out of the threshold, but he retreated back to the living room of the house, hurriedly closed the door and inserted the door bolt. Then he ran to the inside in a panic, hid in a bedroom next door, and then closed the door bolt.

Time entered the evening without realizing it. The sun, which was increasingly westward, also emitted the last sunset light under the pressure of darkness. The sky began to darken, and together with the surrounding environment, it was quietly extending towards the night. Of course, for now, the night has not yet arrived completely, and the faint sunlight can still shine into the living room through the window. If you are currently on the street or in the living room, you can still clearly see the objects and feel the light.

But at this moment, Frank, who was hiding in the bedroom, was basically in the darkness. After all, the bedroom had no windows, and the door had been closed tightly by him, so the already faint light was completely isolated.

The bedroom is very small. In the darkness, except for a wooden bed in the corner of the wall that was covered with dust due to too long time, there are only a few rows of shelf cabinets for placing items on both sides, and some ceramic jars are placed scattered. It seems that the owner of this house should have been a ceramic businessman before.

Having said that, for Frank personally, hiding into this dark and small bedroom would make him feel at ease. After all, all he was afraid of was the murderous madman. Now he was hiding thoroughly. In addition, as the sky was getting dark, he didn't believe that he would have any other danger. After calming down his nervousness, the man casually found a low wooden bench to sit down.

For a moment, Frank, who was in the dark bedroom, felt quite at ease. He was waiting for others to catch up with Martha and came back to meet him. After all, Martha was just a woman, how could a group of big men not catch up? What's more, he and Smith had already discussed the escape overnight. It's probably not long before the others would come back to find him.

Thinking of this, in addition to his peace of mind, he suddenly felt bored and reached into his pocket, took out a cigarette box, lit one, and began to spit out the mist.

but

Just as Frank was still smoking

When, when, when, when.
