Volume 1: Lonely Town Wraith Chapter 11: Missing
The setting sun sank into the horizon after its final struggle, replaced by black and the night that fell quietly.
The night completely covered the small town of Crosso, adding a bit of eerie color to this already lonely and desolate abandoned town. The waning moon shrouded the sky, looming among the clouds, and the moonlight shone on the earth, seeming to try hard to reflect the
What's happening below.
Time passed by minute by second, but for He Fei, he temporarily ignored time, ignored day and night, and maintained a question in his mind for a long time, a question that he could not figure out not long ago.
That is, where did those two people go?
Hooray, hooray.
With the howling wind and the cold night, in a dark street in a small town where the specific location was unclear due to night, He Fei and Chen Hailong were looking around together, seeming to be looking for something, and also seemed to be wondering about something.
Unfortunately, the night perfectly hides everything, and the moonlight is dim. Even if you use your mobile phone for lighting, the weak light from your mobile phone can only illuminate a few meters.
Perhaps because he really couldn't see his surroundings clearly, he swallowed, took back his phone, and wiped the sweat from his forehead. Chen Hailong turned back to He Fei with a slightly nervous expression and tone and said: Well, it's getting late now.
It's not too small. If it doesn't work, let's find a place to rest first. I'm a little hungry after running for so long.
These words were said simply and clearly, but He Fei could still easily hear the implication of his friend's words, or he could tell just from the expression of the obese young man that the other party was afraid, afraid of the dark and rich night, and afraid of the town.
fear, and
The fear of the Smiths disappearing without reason.
What happened was not complicated. As early as two hours ago, before night came, Smith, He Fei, and Chen Hailong started to chase because of Martha's unreasonable escape. Needless to say, Smith, who was worried about his wife, followed closely.
Reluctant to give up, but the problem is not here, but after chasing for a period of time, He Fei and the two actually lost the target!
Lost Martha, lost Smith.
During the chase, He Fei and Chen Hailong were closely behind the two of them, and the distance between them and the Smiths was basically maintained within 10 meters along the way. It is conceivable that following at such a close distance is logical unless the other party can fly or teleport.
, otherwise it would be impossible to lose them anyway. In addition, He Fei and Chen Hailong are both young, so chasing a middle-aged couple is not a problem in terms of physical strength.
But who would have thought that exactly in this kind of following that should not cause problems no matter how you look at it, something unexpected happened in the end.
About an hour ago, after following the two people through a long and narrow alley, I discovered that Mr. and Mrs. Smith were missing.
Just turning a corner, the other party's figure disappeared from sight for only two or three seconds. But when He Fei and He Fei rushed out of the alley and reached the street, Martha and Smith had both disappeared without a trace.
Looking around, no matter on the right or left side of the street, there was no one else on the street except himself and Chen Hailong.
It was hard to imagine that such a thing would happen. After confirming that there was no one on the street, He Fei, who did not believe in evil, immediately searched separately with Chen Hailong. He Fei thought that the Smiths had most likely hid in a certain house or in an alley on either side, but unexpectedly, they searched.
I searched all over the streets, alleys, and even door to door, but found nothing.
The couple seemed to have disappeared without a trace.
It is also worth mentioning that the reason why He Fei decided to chase Martha at the beginning was very simple. After all, a person will not go crazy for no reason and will not run away for no reason. When Martha screamed and ran away, the woman was full of panic.
His face happened to be caught in his eyes. At that moment, He Fei suddenly thought of something. He thought that the reason why Martha ran away must have seen some scene or picture that made ordinary people very scared. Otherwise, there would be no way that women would be around.
When accompanied by someone, he lost his mind and ran away.
Yes, relying on his strong analytical power and astonishing understanding, He Fei figured this out in an instant and made a decisive decision to chase her. His intention was nothing more than to catch up with Martha and get clues from her. It was a good idea, but he didn't expect it.
Martha, who was running like crazy, was so fast that instead of catching her opponent immediately, it turned into a physical race. In the end, she simply lost Martha and her husband Smith.
The search was fruitless, and the night fell. Soon, the confused He Fei and Chen Hailong began to move places, hoping to find something elsewhere in the town.
Another hour passed, until the night got darker, and until they reached this street, the two of them still had no results from beginning to end.
But please don’t get me wrong. Since he had guessed during the day that there was a high possibility of a harmful ghost spirit in the town, He Fei immediately linked the Smiths to the ghost ghosts when they disappeared. But what is really troubling He Fei now?
yes
If the disappearance of Mr. and Mrs. Smith is related to beetles, then
How did the cockroach kill two living people?
Yes, this is the problem that has really troubled He Fei for a long time.
Time, 19:07 at night.
Well, it's getting late, and the town isn't too small. If that doesn't work, let's find a place to rest first. I'm a little hungry after running for so long.
At this moment, after listening to Chen Hailong's uneasy suggestion, he paused his thinking, looked at the time on his phone, and saw that the environment was indeed dark and scary. Upon seeing this, He Fei, who felt as guilty as Chen Hailong, did not refuse his friend's suggestion, and hesitated slightly.
He nodded and replied: Well, okay, it’s true that I haven’t eaten for a day. Let’s find a place to eat something first.
What happened next was very simple. After reaching a consensus, the two of them walked towards one of the houses under the leadership of He Fei. As mentioned before, before entering here, the two of them had backpacks on their backs, and there were more or less in the backpacks.
The missing food was originally intended to be eaten on the road, but unexpectedly it came in handy today.
As for a place to rest, it's even simpler. There are abandoned houses everywhere in the town anyway, so it's not a problem to find a place to spend the night.
At the same time, just as the two people who had made up their minds began to look for suitable houses on both sides of the street to rest, a hundred meters away, at the intersection at the end of the street, something seemed to have changed.
Or
There's something extra, something less obvious.
In the darkness, with the help of the faint moonlight, if you look closely, you will see a vague human silhouette moving constantly, slowly and silently in the night, making it difficult to see the appearance and clothing, as mentioned above.
The description is just an unclear outline of a human figure.
At this moment, the moving direction of the humanoid outline
