Pale face, black suit, teenage boy...
When Mrs. Dominic relayed Thomas' description of the nightmare boy, that pale, thin figure seemed to appear in front of Sean's eyes.
He stood in front of a large, radiant playground, extending an inviting hand to people...
Sean frowned: "Is it related to that golden ticket stub?"
This is an unrelated reverie, just because of the overlap of the intention of "paradise".
The relationship between the nightmare boy and "Midnight Paradise" cannot be determined or denied.
Withdrawing from the hallucination-like scene, Sean and Moonlight decided to follow Mrs. Dominic to the scene of the incident and chat with Thomas.
Under their guidance, my wife got into their car.
For some reason, Mrs. Dominic, who was originally a little afraid of the explorers, felt completely different at this time - looking at two powerful people who were familiar with the mystery and even downplayed it, she actually felt a sense of security.
Parking the car with "Exploring Eyes" printed on the door across the street, Sean and Moonlight walked towards a two-story brick house under the leadership of the owner.
Behind Mrs. Dominique, the Shimmering Sea exchanged glances with the moonlit soloist.
Then, the two of them walked forward without saying a word.
Standing at the door, the wife did not ring the doorbell, but lowered her head and rummaged in her bag to find her keys.
"Thomas should be back already, right?" Sean asked.
After inserting the key into the keyhole, the wife replied: "Usually by this time, he has already come back.
"However, he should be doing homework in his room at this time, so I won't ring the doorbell."
Sean nodded and followed his wife into the room.
There was something decayed and deserted about the house.
Sunlight cannot fill this house. It seems that without members, this home cannot be warm.
Both Sean and Yueguang were in low moods, walking slowly in this slightly deserted home.
Just as Mrs. Dominic was about to call Thomas, Sean raised his hand to stop her: "Let's go and see him quietly."
Often, children do their own things without telling adults.
If you approach secretly, you might find something unexpected.
The wife nodded understandingly.
After arriving at this home that was disturbed by supernatural beings, the wife began to cower behind the two explorers.
Sean and Yueguang, on the other hand, were already taking the lead without hesitation.
They walked quietly toward the depths of the house, trying not to make any noise...
Step by step, they passed the kitchen, living room, corridor, and finally arrived at Thomas's room door.
The mist-shrouded masked man raised his hand, signaling the two people behind him not to move.
Sean held his breath and looked into the room...
All I saw was a little boy with light blond hair, his back to the door, sitting at his desk, writing his homework seriously.
No soliloquies, no faceless supernatural beings.
everything is normal.
Seeing Sean nod, Mrs. Dominic breathed a sigh of relief.
Shimmering Sea then tilted his head and signaled his wife to call her son.
"Thomas?" The wife deliberately called in a soft voice in order not to scare her.
The child stopped holding the pencil in his hand and slowly turned his head...
What's strange is that when Thomas heard his mother calling and looked back at her, the first thing that showed in Thomas's eyes was not joy -
The first thing that passed away in a flash was "fear".
Sean and Moonlight frowned at the same time.
"Mom." The fear disappeared in an instant. Thomas put down the pencil, stood up from the chair, and ran over with great strides. Ignoring the two weird people wearing masks, he threw himself directly into his mother's arms.
Seeing this scene, Sean and both of them felt a little uncomfortable.
"Who are these two uncles?"
In his wife's description, Thomas was a well-behaved, quiet, and sensible child.
Sean didn't expect that after seeing the Explorer mask, he didn't show any panic or novelty.
He seemed relieved to see that they had come with Mrs. Dominique.
The wife stroked the top of her soft hair with kind eyes and said, "Our Thomas, didn't he sleep well these days?
"Those..." the wife swallowed, "those 'things' that are different from mom, are plotting against you.
"So mom called in these two uncles to help."
Thomas looked at the starlight in the clouds with his big eyes.
Sean blinked and nodded gently to this overly sensible child.
Soon, he let go of his mother's arms and stood quietly in front of her.
Turning to his wife, Sean said: "Mrs. Dominic, if possible, we would like to talk to Thomas alone."
The wife glanced at Thomas slightly nervously, and the child smiled softly. Although he didn't say anything, he obviously expressed the meaning of "don't worry".
Thinking of the conversations I had with them in church, and the reassuring aura they exuded...
The wife looked at Sean, then at the moonlight, and smiled easily: "Okay, I'll go cook first, then you guys have a chat with Thomas..."
As if grateful for Mrs. Dominic's magnanimity, Sean bowed slightly politely.
The overly worried mother took two steps back and walked towards the kitchen.
Ta, tap, tap, tap.
Women's leather shoes make a creepy echo in a deserted home.
Looking at Mrs. Dominic walking away, Moonlight·1902 under the mirror mask couldn't help but swallow her saliva.
After making sure that she had gone far enough to reach the kitchen, Sean and Yueguang held Thomas' shoulders and walked into the room.
After entering the room, the first thing to do is to quietly lock the door.
Gently turning the chair behind the desk, Thomas sat in the chair.
There was no chair of suitable height, so Sean and Moonlight had to squat in front of Thomas.
Unable to imagine how the child in front of him spent this time, Sean and Yueguang looked at each other wordlessly.
The eyes are very complicated.
However, the investigation still had to be carried out, so Sean spoke.
His voice was very, very soft.
Obviously, he didn't want to disturb the lady busy in the kitchen.
"Okay, Thomas..." Sean looked at the lonely little boy in front of him...
Unlike in front of his mother just now, his hidden fear was completely released.
His breathing became rapid and his eyes became red.
"Obviously, your mother has already encountered something unexpected.
“But she was too concerned for your safety to leave this world.
"It's safe now, she can't hear for now."
"You can tell us what happened."
At this moment, Mrs. Dominic was standing in the kitchen without the lights on, her figure dark and chaotic.
Although he said he was going to prepare dinner, he did nothing but stood in the darkness with his hands hanging down.
Suddenly, she seemed to realize something, and turned around suddenly, with a pair of dark eyes, looking in the direction of Thomas' room where the door had been closed...
