Chapter 223 Lantern
"Who are you?" Paul walked towards the tall man.
The flashlight in Paul's hand also shone on the man's trouser legs, and at this moment Paul felt something was wrong.
The man's trouser legs were full of blood, and the trouser legs were also very shabby. His shoes were faded as if he had been soaked in water for several years. He didn't look like Boss Frank at all.
The flashlight in Paul's hand once again shined upward towards the face of the visitor. This action was obviously impolite, but Paul couldn't care less.
The tall body of the big man in front of him was covered in blood, and even the white mask on his face had a few blood stains.
The man was holding a machete in his hand. The machete was full of minced meat and bloodstains were condensed on the blade. Some of it was even yellowed. Fresh bloodstains and old spots were intertwined on the blade.
"Run away!"
Hardy didn't know why, but the stories her parents told her when she was a child suddenly appeared in her mind, Crystal Lake... The Murderer... Jason...
Hardy kept telling Paul to run away because the murderer in front of him was already walking towards Paul.
Paul quickly turned around and ran away, but it was too late. The machete in Jason's hand struck Paul, and Paul quickly threw the flashlight in his hand and hit Jason.
With a bang, the flashlight was chopped into pieces with a knife, and the only light source in the dark night disappeared. Now they could only rely on the light of the moon in the sky to illuminate the terrain.
But it is precisely because of this that Paul was able to escape from Jason.
A man and a woman were running in the jungle, Jason was chasing closely behind them. At this time, Hardy and Jason no longer knew what direction they were going in, and they just ran around in the jungle.
"Huhuhu..." Paul gasped, standing behind a tree and looking around.
He finally understood why Laughlin died in the cabin and why Frank disappeared.
Paul sat down on the ground and supported himself with his hands.
"Um?"
Paul's hand seemed to have touched something. Paul looked at a black shadow on the ground next to the tree. The moonlight in the sky was not so clear in the woods.
Paul kicked the shadow with his foot and found that there was no change, so he got closer.
"ah……"
A scream suddenly burst out of Paul's throat, and Paul reacted the next moment and quickly covered his mouth.
The thing on the ground is Frank, and he can only call it a thing now.
Paul looked at the corpse on the ground in horror, stood up quickly, randomly chose a direction and ran out.
Since there is Frank's body here, it means that it is not safe here.
We can only continue to escape, but where can we escape?
He was lost now and couldn't tell his direction at all.
At this moment, Paul saw a bright light in the distance. Although the light was very weak, it still guided Paul's direction in the dark jungle.
Paul ran towards the light in the distance. The closer he got to the light, he found that for some reason, the light always gave him a feeling of fear.
Paul looked around from time to time. When he had lost his bearings, if he didn't observe his surroundings confidently, he could easily bump into Jason.
Just like that, Paul got closer and closer to the light...
"Why is there a scarecrow here?"
Paul looked at a scarecrow more than three meters high in the woods. It was the old lantern in its hand that emitted dim light.
Although this scarecrow looks very ordinary, just a little bigger, why are there scarecrows in the jungle?
Paul didn't know why, but the more he stayed around the Scarecrow, the more frightened he became.
At this moment, a hand was put on Paul's shoulder.
At this moment, Paul was so frightened that he almost screamed, his hair stood on end, and he ran forward crazily regardless.
"It's me! Paul! It's me!"
A sound awakened Paul's reason, and Paul turned around and looked behind him.
This man is none other than Gary.
"Hufufu, you scared me to death."
Paul clutched his heart that was about to beat and leaned against the scarecrow.
"You met him, right?" Gary looked at Paul who was breathing heavily.
"You mean the big guy?" Paul said.
"Big man? No! He is a murderer! Dandy and Laughlin were killed by him, and Billy was also killed by him. He is the legend of Crystal Lake, Jason the Killer."
"What? It's actually true?"
Paul was very surprised. He didn't expect that this legend was true. He actually saw this legend with his own eyes.
The two of them leaned on the scarecrow together and sat on the ground to discuss countermeasures.
"I have a car. As long as we can get to the road, we can drive away."
"That's great. I wanted to find Frank. Frank had the car keys with him and we could drive away, but I lost my way and didn't know where Boss Frank was."
"Frank, I just saw his body..."
Both of them were silent. It seemed that the only way now was to find the road and drive away.
At this moment, a figure appeared in the distance. The figure waved to them crazily, but did not come over.
"That person is?"
"Looks a bit like Kate? But why doesn't he come over?"
Both of them were a little confused. Logically speaking, there was the only light source here. If Kate saw this place, he would definitely come over.
"He seems to be letting us pass." Gary was a little confused.
"Is there anything he can do? Then let's go there quickly."
Paul originally felt that the scarecrow was a bit spooky. Now that someone asked them to pass, Paul naturally suggested that they gather together.
"Um."
Gary's thinking is very simple. If a tiger is chasing you, you don't need to run faster than the tiger, you just need to run faster than your companions.
The two of them walked towards the figure in the distance.
Shortly after the two left, a scarecrow exactly like the one they had relied on came to the place where they had just stayed...
After staying for a while, he chased in the direction of the three of them.
One hand was raised high, the lantern in his hand emitted a dim light, and the other hand was dragged on the ground. It was said to be a hand but in fact it was a sickle. The sickle cut across the grass, and sometimes it cut across the stones and made a teeth-searing sound.
"Why is he running so fast?"
Paul and Gary looked at Kate in the distance. Kate's speed was very normal, but for some reason, it suddenly accelerated and was now very blurry.
"Huh? Who is that?"
When Gary looked back again, he found the light of a lantern behind him.
The light of this lantern kept approaching them, and Paul felt a sense of fear for no reason.
"Hey, I remembered. Isn't this the lamp in the scarecrow's hand? Who took it off?"
Compared to Paul's fear, Gary on the side felt a little relaxed. Who else besides his companions could hold the lantern? It seemed that he had one more person in his small team, and his hope of escape was even greater.
