Hooray, hooray!

The sun gradually sets in the west, and the cool breeze that was slightly weak earlier begins to gradually increase. The trees are rustled, and occasionally one or two crows fly across the sky, bringing further desolation to the already dead and lonely town. Feeling of depression.

In Crosso Town, in the north of the town, in a dark alley, two young men are currently discussing something face to face.

Looking around, one saw a young man with a medium build and a delicate face, with a stern expression and serious eyes. Opposite him, another obese young man looked frightened. He looked scared and sweating profusely, staring at the boss carefully. Observation reveals that the body of an obese young man even trembles from time to time.

"You, are all these things you said true? We are no longer in the real world? In a working world? Also, here... there are worms!?"

Listening to his friend's trembling words, and looking at his face that twitched from time to time due to excessive fear, He Fei calmed down and said: "Whether this is the real world or not is just my personal guess, but this supernatural mission is Really, and the worm you mentioned should also exist."

After saying that, he lowered his head to look at the phone in his hand, glanced at the completely zero signal grid on the screen, looked up again, and He Fei continued: "Hai Long, you just said that you also heard the 'cold voice' at the beginning. As well as the mission information left by the voice, whether you believe it or not, you have to understand that we can’t even think about going back now. Unless we can complete the mission, the ending that awaits us...may not be very good."

Yes, about 10 minutes ago, while the three Smiths were discussing matters, Chen Hailong and He Fei left the house and came to the outside world. At first, Chen Hailong did not dare to go out, but under the pressure of He Fei's extremely stern eyes, he followed him out. The house came to the street and entered an alley. Next, He Fei truthfully told the truth about everything he had experienced since he woke up, as well as his personal guesses.

But it was He Fei's words that pushed Chen Hailong, who had been frightened for a long time, into a bottomless abyss.

Fear quietly struck his heart. In addition to breaking the world view of the obese young man's life that he had maintained for 21 years, it also plunged him into unprecedented despair and panic. Chen Hailong was not a fool. If someone said this to him in normal times, he would definitely dismiss it or even ignore it. He would also mock each other, but now it was different, completely different. First, he was sucked into the subway station by a strange hurricane, and then he appeared inexplicably in a strange town. Finally, a mission that he could not forget came to his mind. Information, all this was not normal, and it made him upset. Coupled with He Fei's shocking remarks just now, Chen Hailong finally became afraid. Although he still didn't want to believe that these were true, his subconscious told him that he was constantly He warned himself that he had better believe what He Fei said, otherwise... his ending might be really miserable!

the reason is……

螞!

There are worms here!

There is a terrifying spirit entity that originally only existed in folklore but now is almost nine out of ten real!

As for He Fei, he had already tested his mobile phone a few minutes ago, and the result was as expected. Like Chen Hailong and Smith's group, there was no signal and no way to contact the outside world.

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

Xu Shi became increasingly worried about his situation. After choosing to trust his friend, Chen Hailong came to his senses and immediately asked the question that concerned him most, that is, should he leave the town? After all, ever since he inexplicably appeared in this deserted town, an indescribable sense of fear has enveloped him all the time, just like there is always a pair of eyes peeking at you in the dark, making you frightened and restless, if you can , of course he wanted to leave the town and leave this place where he had trouble sleeping and eating.

Hearing his friend's question, He Fei shook his head and gave a simple answer: "We can't leave. The mission information has clearly warned the executors not to leave the town. Violators will be obliterated. Let's not talk about what obliteration means. Even if you want to escape, , we also have to stay in the town for two full days."

Upon hearing his friend's statement, Chen Hailong, who had already regarded He Fei as his backbone due to fear and panic, did not argue. He looked back outside the alley, and then asked again as if he had figured out something: "By the way, since we two Having become those executors, are the three guys in the room..."

Although Chen Hailong didn't finish speaking, what he wanted to express was very obvious. As soon as he finished speaking, He Fei argued on the spot: "No, it's impossible. You also know that I asked several people in the room earlier. In the past, although the answers given by the other party were weird, strictly speaking, they were still logical. I guessed that the three Smiths should be the native humans of this world. They accidentally entered this place due to bad luck, and the two of us appeared out of thin air. Essential difference.”

After saying his personal understanding, he paused and looked back outside the alley like Chen Hailong. After hesitating for a moment, He Fei continued with a slight sigh: "Those people are different from us. You and I are bound here by the task rules. , to be honest, I really hope they can leave as soon as possible, after all...it's very dangerous here."

Obviously, due to his kind nature and the general guess that the Smiths and others were innocent innocent people, He Fei hoped in his heart that the three of them could leave the town as soon as possible. Perhaps this is why the three of them just discussed the escape plan. There was no real reason for him to hold back.

He Fei sighed, but for Chen Hailong, who was already too busy to take care of himself, he didn't care as much as the good friend in front of him. When he saw the other person shook his head in denial, he patted his head and recalled his earlier escape experience. Chen Hailong followed up and asked Asked a new question: "By the way, that murderous madman, there is very likely a murderous madman in this town!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he thought He Fei would answer immediately like before. Who would have thought that this time, especially when the word "murderous madman" came into his ears again, He Fei chose to remain silent, just like this under the gaze of the obese young man. He didn't say a word for the next time, and his brows furrowed into a tight frown.

No one knows why He Fei showed such a demeanor. Not only Chen Hailong did not understand, but no one else present would understand. But in fact, when mentioning the murderous madman, the first thing He Fei thought of was not only how terrifying the murderous madman was, but also how terrifying the murderous madman was. How frightening, but doubtful!

They doubted the identity of the murderous madman, and even doubted whether the guy who was extremely scary in the eyes of Chen Hailong and others really existed!

Because, I can’t see it myself!

(Why can’t I see that thing? But the three Smiths who were chased into the town and Chen Hailong who had gone to the village could see it? And when everyone was chased into the town, the murderous madman disappeared quickly? Something is wrong, very Something is wrong...)

(Huh? Wait, the murderous madman disappeared after everyone was chased into the town? Is it difficult, is it possible...)

Ding!

At the same time, while He Fei was talking to Chen Hailong, the discussion between Smith and Frank in the living room of the house had basically come to an end.

The result of the discussion was that there was no need to deliberately choose the time, but to act as soon as it got dark and leave the town quietly under the cover of darkness.

Anyway, this place is the size of a medium-sized town. Even if you don't know the road, it doesn't matter. If you keep walking along the street, you will always leave the town.

"Okay, now it's 17 o'clock in the afternoon, and there's almost an hour left until dark. I still remember the journey we took here. Sir, we can just go back the same way."

"Frank, you bastard really hurt us this time. If you hadn't suggested taking the small road, how could we have come to this place? I advise you to apologize honestly, otherwise I can't guarantee that you will be able to do it when you go back. I received a letter from a lawyer! Huh? Where are the two international students? Why are they missing?"

"How do I know? Maybe he went out to pee."

"No, I have to go out and take a look. I suspect those two boys ran away early."

Ignoring the conversation between her husband and the tour guide, beside Smith, Martha remained silent and sat there as before, her body still trembling slightly.

Yes, she was scared, and even now she still can't get rid of that weird, unspeakable feeling of fear. What's strange is that the root cause of Martha's fear is not the murderous madman or the small town atmosphere, but...

peep!

Yes, similar to He Fei who suddenly turned around when he felt someone outside the window not long ago, Martha also had this feeling, but her feeling was stronger than that of He Fei! If He Fei only noticed it intuitively, then Martha had a deeper subconscious feeling. Ever since she entered the town, she always felt that there was a pair of eyes peeking at her all the time!

This made her shudder and even panic to this day!

But I don’t know why, at this moment, just now, just the last second, the sense of voyeurism suddenly became stronger!

With this fear, Martha, who was trembling more and more intensely, seemed to have discovered something. So, just as Smith and Frank were trying to go out to search, Martha made a move. She slowly raised her head, looked above her head, and looked towards The roof is not very clear because the sun is moving westward...

then……

Appearing in sight...

It's a human face.

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

A strange woman's face was currently floating out of thin air on the deep and dim beams of the room, directly above her head, silently looking down at herself, everyone, and everything in the room. No one knew how long the woman's face had been there. The only thing she knew was, Above the head, at the top of the beam, floated a woman's face peering at everyone.

Perhaps she sensed that someone had noticed her. When Martha saw the face clearly, the pale woman's face directly above her actually smiled, and she grinned at Martha with a strange smile.

Martha was stunned.

But soon, what followed was a sudden change of color on the face and a harsh scream bursting out of the mouth:

"ah!!!"

This sudden scream scared Smith and Frank to death on the spot, who were about to go out. Because the scream was too sudden, Frank, who had half stepped out of the threshold, fell to the ground unsteadily, and Smith also fell to the ground. It wasn't much better. In addition to being frightened and shaking wildly, his heart suddenly jumped out of his throat. Fortunately, he didn't have a heart disease, otherwise this scream alone would be enough to make him sick and die.

Of course, fear is fear. In fact, when they were frightened to death, both Smith and Frank were instinctively prompted to suddenly turn around and look behind them, toward the room, and toward the screaming owner Martha.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he turned around, he saw Martha running forward howling like a madman, rushing out of the door at an astonishing speed that was difficult to achieve before, and ran out of the house before anyone could react. He screamed and ran towards the street on the right.

Ta-ta-ta-ta!

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

As expected, although he was shocked by his wife's screams and didn't understand why he suddenly ran away, as a husband, when he saw that his shouting was in vain and he saw her running away further and further, he cursed and cared about his wife, but Smith still took a big step immediately. Chased him.

Similarly, when Martha screamed, how could the outside world, He Fei and Chen Hailong, who had just finished discussing certain issues, not hear it? They were startled at first and looked at each other. The next second, He Fei, whose expression suddenly changed, had already strode out of the alley before Chen Hailong could react.

Coincidentally, as soon as he returned to the street, he saw an incomprehensible chase and escape scene taking place on the other side of the street. In front of him, Martha screamed and ran like a madman who had suddenly become ill, and behind him, she was closely followed. Husband Smith.

Seeing this scene, He Fei was slightly startled, but soon he chased after him without saying a word as if he had made some kind of decision. Sure enough, how could Chen Hailong, who ran out a little late after seeing his friend follow him, dare to be alone? Immediately, as expected, he followed.

Soon, with a rush of running, the four of them disappeared at the end of the street in just a few moments.

The only one left was the tour guide Frank, who was still slumped on the ground.

"Wait, wait for me...wait for me..."

At this moment, in front of the house, a frightened Frank just watched others running away, and watched Martha, Smith and the two Oriental students running further and further away, until they disappeared collectively at the corner of the street. Seeing this, the man's whole body Trembling and sweating, he murmured to himself from time to time in a voice that only he could hear. Yes, it wasn't that he didn't want to run or follow, but that he was too frightened to move, or because I was so timid that I still haven't gotten over the initial fear.

Her legs were still trembling, and she was still as weak as when she first collapsed. After all, what happened just now was so sudden, and Martha's shrill screams frightened the short man in a suit to the point where he sat paralyzed. The ground cannot be recovered for a long time.

Although he couldn't understand why the woman named Martha was suddenly frightened, nor why she ran away, what really scared Frank now was not these, but that all the others ran away and chased Martha. , and he was forced to stay where he was due to weakness in his legs.

Left alone.

It wasn't until the others ran further and further away that the four of them ran out of sight. It took about two minutes before Frank, who had barely recovered, could stand up. Unfortunately, his recovery seemed to be a little late now. As soon as he got up, Frank wanted to follow him as soon as possible, but , after scanning the surrounding environment that was getting darker as the sun went down, and thinking that there was a murderous madman hidden in the town, for some reason, the man in the suit was afraid, and he found that he could not take a step, not only did he take a step I couldn't get out, I didn't even have the courage to leave the room.

It was as if he would be discovered by a murderer once he went out.

"Hoo, ho, ho!"

Gradually, Frank was overcome by the fear in his heart. In addition to his breathing becoming more and more rapid, he suddenly came to his senses. The man moved. Instead of stepping out of the threshold, he retreated to the living room of the house driven by fear. He hurriedly closed the door, bolted the door, and then He panicked and ran inside again, hiding in a bedroom next door, then closed the door again and bolted it.

Time has entered the evening unknowingly, and the sun that is getting more and more westward is also emitting the last afterglow of the sunset under the pressure of darkness. The sky begins to darken, and together with the surrounding environment, it is quietly extending towards the night. Of course, for now, Night has not yet completely arrived, and weak sunlight can still shine through the windows into the living room. If you are currently on the street or in the living room, you can actually see things clearly and feel the light.

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

The bedroom was very small. In the dark, except for a wooden bed in the corner that was covered in dust due to a long period of time, there were only a few rows of shelves and cabinets with items on both sides. There were some scattered ceramic jars in the cabinets. It looked like this The owner of this house must have been a ceramics merchant.

Having said that, for Frank personally, hiding in this dark and small bedroom can make him feel at ease. After all, he is only afraid of murderous madmen. Now that he has completely hidden himself, and it is getting dark, he does not believe that he will still be able to hide. There was no danger. After calming down his nerves, the man casually found a low wooden bench and sat 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 come back to join him. After all, Martha was only a woman. How could a group of grown men not catch up? What's more, he and Smith have already discussed escaping at night, and it won't be long before others come back to find him.

Thinking of this, in addition to feeling reassured, he suddenly felt bored and reached into his pocket, took out his cigarette case, lit one, and started puffing away.

but……

While Frank was still smoking...

When, when, when.

All around, there was a series of noises in the darkness, a series of faint knocks similar to the collision of pottery...
