The sun dispels the darkness. The rising of the sun represents the coming of day. The passing of night brings light back to the world. Unfortunately, this may be true for other places, but for Croseau, an uninhabited town that has been abandoned for unknown years.
There is not much difference between day and night.
That's true for the town, and it's true for Martha.
Da da da da!
"Help! Help! Who can save me? Who can save me!"
In a small town, in a deserted street covered with fallen leaves, at this time, a woman with a haggard look and a frightened face was running and shouting. Perhaps she was overtired. The woman was not running fast and her body was stumbling. It seemed that her physical energy had been exhausted.
But he felt forced to run by some kind of danger, which left people secretly speechless and baffled.
The reason why it is described as incomprehensible is that the woman was running forcibly, escaping in a hurry even though she was extremely tired. During the run, the woman looked back from time to time, and every time she looked back, there was always fear in her eyes, which was extremely obvious.
of fear.
That's because, in her field of vision, there is a person following behind her, a weirdo with a bandage on his head and blood all over his body, a murderer holding a hatchet in pursuit!
Yes, at this moment, this bloody murderer was chasing her, chasing this poor woman named Martha.
What happened is very simple. Ever since Martha accidentally saw a picture of a huge woman last night, she was so frightened that she has been running away. It is a purposeless running. In addition, she is too frightened and her brain is blank. She has no idea what is chasing her.
Her husband Smith and the two Eastern students turned a deaf ear and just ran away, staying as far away from everything as possible driven by fear.
However, running will not be endless, and human physical strength will not last indefinitely. As the sky gradually darkened, and was blown by the night wind, Martha ran to an unfamiliar neighborhood and became slightly sober. It was not until this moment that she
Only then did she realize that she had been separated from her husband and everyone else without even realizing it.
At that time, Martha was extremely panicked. She looked around. In the night, she didn't know where she was and couldn't see her surroundings clearly. She could only know that she was still inside the town. The result was predictable. She didn't dare to be alone at all.
I started searching, started calling, and started walking through the streets like a lost little girl, searching, and kept calling the names of my husband Smith and others. Unfortunately, it had no effect. I shouted for a long time, but not only did I get no reply.
, and finally forced himself into a desperate situation.
Just as she was passing by a street corner in fear, she saw a person running towards her in the night. That person was no one else. It was a burly body holding a hatchet. It was also the same person who had been chased in the forest earlier.
A murderous madman who overcame everyone and forced them into the small town!
The murderous madman ran straight forward, rushing towards him!
The result was completely expected.
The sudden scene was seen by Martha, and by this poor woman who was already frightened and trembling. In addition, she was too exhausted to run. She saw the other party rushing in front of her in the blink of an eye, and saw the other party holding up the firewood without saying a word.
The knife struck her head, and Martha, who thought she was going to die, fainted. Her eyesight went black and she fell to the ground.
However, what is incomprehensible and even miraculous is that Martha did not die. When Martha opened her eyes again the next morning, the woman found that she was still alive and still alive and well!?
There are no wounds, no blood stains, the heart is still beating, is she still alive?
Why? Why, last night I was obviously...
There is no doubt that Martha fell into a state of confusion when she woke up, but God still did not give her time to figure everything out, because as soon as she woke up, before the woman could get rid of her doubts, behind her, there was a series of sonorous and powerful dull sounds.
The sound of footsteps broke the silence.
Turning around suddenly, he saw an 'acquaintance' walking not far behind him, a terrifying person who was too familiar to be familiar with.
The murderous madman, the murderous madman who had never spoken a word, suddenly appeared before his eyes!
"No, no, help...help, help, help! Ahhhhh!"
As expected, although she was surprised as to why she was not dead, and although she was puzzled as to why the murderous maniac did not kill her last night, when the murderous maniac who represented danger and demanded life appeared again, the sudden fear of death still prompted Martha to
He reacted instinctively immediately, without even thinking about it. He immediately got up and ran away, howling and running into the distance. So, just like that, a new round of pursuit began, until now, until the sun is high in the sky.
During the chase, Martha was too panicked and ignored some details, one detail that could easily be seen by any onlooker.
In the state of chasing and escaping, Martha actually did not run fast because she had not eaten for a long time and was tired for a long time. During the run, the woman staggered, her figure was sluggish, and she looked typically weak, unless the pursuer was a turtle.
, otherwise you can catch the woman with just a little increase.
However, the reality is not like this. Directly ahead, Martha's speed is slow. Unexpectedly, the murderous madman following behind is also slow. Overall, his speed is the same as Martha's. From beginning to end, he moves at a speed that is neither fast nor slow.
Following a woman, it was impossible to catch up with Martha at this speed, but Martha was also unable to drag her away. For a moment, the two of them started a long chase through the town as if they were running a marathon.
The picture returns to reality.
Da da da da!
"Help! Smith, where are you? Help me, who can help me! Woo woo woo woo!"
Turning around and looking back, she saw that the murderer was still following closely behind her. Martha burst into tears and howled as she ran. The woman collapsed, completely collapsed. She collapsed to the extreme under the opponent's continuous pursuit and oppression. She
I don't understand, I really don't understand what's going on. The only thing I know is...
Behind him, the murderer who gave people a strong sense of fear no matter how he looked at him was still chasing him.
At least in Martha's personal eyes, she is being chased by a scary-looking guy. However, if you switch to a third-person perspective at this time, you will be surprised to find that Martha is actually the only one on the entire street!
From beginning to end, only the woman was running.
Yes, Martha was the only one running wildly and crying in the street. Behind her, there was no one. There was nothing but the empty street. Where could there be any murderous madman!?
At this moment, the woman named Martha was running away in a panic without being pursued, crying for her life. Every time she looked back, she would always see a bloody murderer following behind her.
Plop!
Until the tears run out, until the woman's limited physical strength is completely exhausted, until her legs become weak and she collapses when she turns into a strange street, completely losing her ability to run.
The moment she fell to the ground, there was only one thought left in the woman's mind.
It's over, dead.
The woman chose to close her eyes and wait for death, and began to wait for the final moment to arrive.
Time passes minute by minute.
However...
What I couldn't understand was that after waiting for a long time, the imaginary hatchet fell did not appear. I was still alive. Except for the occasional cool breeze, even the footsteps that had been following me for a long time disappeared.
With this confusion in mind, Martha opened her eyes and looked back, and the murderous madman was gone.
Looking around, apart from the dilapidated houses, I was the only one left.
Above the head is the sun, which is quite dazzling.
(this……)
It is conceivable that after witnessing a scene similar to last night's rebirth, Martha was stunned and froze on the spot. The woman fell into a state of confusion and could not even tell the difference between reality and reality. Deep in her brain, she was repeating one after another.
Three words.
(why why why?)
Why does the murderous madman disappear? Why does he lose his trace every time he chooses to escape? Why? The woman doesn't know, she doesn't understand, and she is confused and stunned by a series of strange encounters that started last night.
However, just when the woman lying on the ground fell into a trance and fell into a daze...
"Martha! Martha is that you?"
Suddenly, a series of familiar men's calls came to my ears.
