Rogge, who was taking care of the wounded and wiping off the blood on their faces, saw Sergeant Gale opening his eyes slightly, and a look of surprise appeared on his face. He helped him sit up and looked at him at the same time. Wu Ming and Alex waved: Gale is awake! Come here quickly!
Sheriff Gale is a man in his twenties and thirties with curly black hair and round-rimmed glasses who looks elegant. From his dress and temperament, it is not obvious that he is the Sheriff of this town. However, after being attacked, Finally, there was a lightning-shaped wound on his forehead, and coupled with the blood stains on his white shirt, Gale's current temperament finally changed a little, no longer the gentle and bookish temperament before.
Gale woke up from a coma and looked a little confused when he saw several people huffing around him: Mayor, who are these people? What happened to me? Did I faint?
These were several outsiders who were new to the town, and they were also willing to participate in the vigil. Rogge briefly introduced Wu Ming and others to Gale, and then asked with concern: What happened just now? Why did the night watchmen faint? What happened to you? Do you remember what happened before you fainted? Did the piper attack you? Did you see who the piper is?
Gale was stunned by the many questions in the town. He fell into great confusion for a while. After hesitating for a long time, he said with some uncertainty: I remember, I remember that we have been following Rogge’s instructions. At the request of the police, we patrolled and kept vigil in the south of the town. Later, after the flute sounded, several of our companions who were keeping vigil fainted without warning. Hessen, I, and a few others who had not fainted realized that the flute player was there again. After he started committing a crime, he wanted to follow the sound of his flute to find where the flute player was hiding.
As he spoke, Gale searched his memory thoughtfully, but he hesitated for a long time without thinking of the follow-up. It was not until he caught sight of the stone statue with only half of its body left in the corner of his eye not far away that he suddenly froze. Then Gale's eyes widened in horror as if he remembered something terrible. He pointed in the direction of the stone statue and struggled violently, regardless of Rogge's obstruction!
That's it! The rocks moved and attacked us! Run! The rocks are about to move and attack us!
Seeing Gale's violent reaction, Alex and Wu Ming exchanged glances without leaving any trace. Then the old hunter calmly held down the struggling Sheriff and comforted him: "Relax, that stone." We have solved it, you are safe now
But the words of the old hunter seemed unable to calm down the frightened Gale. The latter was frightened even more after suddenly seeing the ferocious face with scars. However, because he could not break free from the former's suppression, he was frightened even more. After suppressing his blush and being unable to resist at all, Sheriff Gale had to relax and looked at the stone statue with lingering fear but hesitated to speak.
I used some despicable foreigner tricks. Wu Ming saw the doubts in his heart and explained nonchalantly. In order to reassure him, he went to the stone statue and kicked the stone statue with only half of its body. Look, this thing has stopped moving. Calm down and tell us what exactly happened.
It really won't move anymore. After Gale confirmed again and again that the stone statue would indeed not move, he breathed a sigh of relief with lingering fear. After a long silence, he spoke again: You may not believe it.
As he spoke, the police chief pointed to the half of the stone statue not far away. His hands were shaking when he remembered what he had just experienced: This was the stone that attacked us. The stone monster swooped down from the sky and made an unpleasant screeching sound like a horse. Xiao, several people were frightened and fainted after seeing its appearance clearly. Its claws can leave claw marks on the cement wall like cutting tofu cubes, and its tail swings with such force that it can sweep a wall away. , If Hessen and I hadn't been lucky enough to dodge several attacks, we would have died long ago. ..
At this time, Wu Ming and others noticed that there were deep claw marks left on the outer walls of the surrounding houses and on the cement floor, as well as a wall with only the remains of the root. It seemed that this was what the gargoyle left when it attacked them. The result was achieved.
That stone statue was the only one that attacked you? Rogge looked a little unbelievable. Didn't the piper attack you?
Gale shook his head: It wasn’t that I was chased by this stone statue until I fell into coma. I thought it was wrong when it flew away and hit my head.
I was dead, but I didn’t expect to wake up alive.
Wu Ming then asked him some other questions in detail, such as whether he knew when the sound of the flute disappeared, whether he noticed a suspicious figure when he was attacked, whether he had just experienced a life-and-death relationship, and the answer he got It was all vague, with basically no useful information. Those who woke up later didn't provide much useful information. Many of them didn't even know how they fainted.
When Wu Ming and Alex were questioning the unfortunate ones who had woken up one by one, Gale, who had not yet fully recovered, glanced at Wu Ming and Alex with a complicated expression, and quickly moved away before they noticed. He opened his eyes and after a slight hesitation, he whispered to Rogge beside him as if to warn him: Rogge, I don't think this is quite right. We originally thought that the flute player was a murderer who came to the town from outside. , so we actively organized people to keep vigil, but we were all wrong. These are really the witch's pets.
After hearing what he said, Rogge's face became ugly, but he still looked very shaken: I know
No! you do not know! Look at that thing. Are you still prepared to insist that it was created by a serial killer from a big city? Only a witch's curse can explain the existence of this creature. Those old fogies are right, we really need to think about a witch trial now.
But have you ever thought about the consequences of the Witch Trial? Do you still want this misfortune to continue?
So tell me what to do?
I I don't know
Although the two of them tried their best to lower their voices, it was still difficult to cover up the involuntarily raised volume during the quarrel. As if affected by their low-pitched quarrel, the expressions on the faces of the two nearby townspeople were a little uncertain, and they were often frightened. Guang glanced at the stone statue whose upper body was destroyed, not knowing what he was thinking.
The low-pitched quarrel between the mayor and the police chief naturally fell into the ears of Wu Ming and the old hunter. The two looked at each other and already knew the general situation. Then Wu Ming pretended to ask the last question after he woke up. After a town citizen, Rogge, who had whispered to the townspeople for a few times, stepped forward and said: The wake-up watchers have just finished checking several households living in the south of the town. No one was harmed except the night watchmen. Let's send these wounded people to be resettled later, and then go to Zhenbei immediately, right?
