Volume 1: Lonely Town of Wraiths Chapter 5: No One's Pursuit
"Help! Help!"
Da da da da!
Next to my ears, there were the sounds of chaotic running, from far to near, together with a series of frightened men and women calling for help.
He Fei's whole body tensed up and he didn't even bother to take out his cell phone. He turned around in the direction of the sound and saw four people running towards the street on the right.
Because of the distance, we won't talk about who the other three are for now, but one of them, a fat guy, He Fei, could be recognized from a long distance away.
Chen Hailong!
Yes, it was Chen Hailong who had been missing for a long time. He had searched for him in the living room at first, but to his surprise, he did not appear in the same place as him. Of course, these are not the point. The point is, why did Chen Hailong run away? Why did he shout?
Help? And who are the three strange men and women beside me?
At the same time, He Fei recognized Chen Hailong. How could Chen Hailong not see He Fei? Sure enough, when he saw his friend appearing at the intersection ahead, out of instinct, he felt happy at first but then returned to panic in an instant. Before he could reach his friend,
In front of him, he shouted to He Fei: "He Fei, hurry up, stop being dazed, run with us, there is a murderous madman!"
Originally, He Fei didn't understand why the other party ran away in panic. He was about to ask, but unexpectedly, the other party already answered on his own initiative. What was even more surprising was that
Murderous madman?
Hearing this, He Fei was slightly startled. Chen Hailong and three other people also ran to him during this interval. Then, before he could recover, Chen Hailong who was passing by had grabbed his arm and immediately
Forced He Fei to escape together.
As mentioned before, Chen Hailong is a "heavyweight" despite being the same age as He Fei. Although he is far from the level of a sumo wrestler, his weight of 90 kilograms still makes him fat.
With this title, He Fei was forced to run wildly with Chen Hailong and the three people beside him according to his inertia. However, perhaps out of curiosity, He Fei looked back from time to time during the run.
Trying to see what the madman chasing everyone looks like.
The weird thing is
There is nothing behind you!?
No matter how many times he looked back during the run, there was nothing behind him except streets.
What's more, what is strange and even incomprehensible to He Fei is
Although he didn't see anything while running all the way, Chen Hailong and the three people around him were very convinced that there was a madman chasing behind them. The evidence was very simple. Except for himself, these people also occasionally looked back, but every time they looked back, they looked back.
A strong look of fear will appear on their faces, and they will continue to run wildly.
(Huh? What's going on?)
da da da da
The running continued endlessly, until they ran from one end of the town to another, until everyone was tired and panting and it became increasingly difficult to hold on. The running finally stopped when one of the men shouted in surprise.
"Huh? He's gone. The lunatic is gone. We got rid of him!"
Time, 15:43 pm, inside a house in the north area of Crosso Town.
The dusty living room and the silent environment are enough to prove that this is an abandoned and empty house. Like the whole town, it is as dead and deserted, as if it has been forgotten by the world and has become a lost island.
"Hoo! Hoo! Hoo!"
In the living room, panting continued. There were currently five people standing there. Most of them were panting, squatting on the ground or slumped in front of a stool, and these naturally included He Fei and Chen Hailong.
As for the other three people, things were a little different. In other words, it was only then that He Fei had the opportunity to observe each other's appearance.
After recovering a little, I looked around and saw that these three people were all European and American white people, two men and one woman. One of the men and women looked very much like a couple. The man was bloated and bald. He looked about 40 and wore a
A cool casual outfit, the overall look gives people the feeling of a successful person. The woman is close to 40, with a middle-to-upper-class appearance. Although she is no longer young, she is well-maintained. In addition to having brown hair, she still maintains a very suitable look.
The European and American aesthetically pleasing figure was dressed in blue casual clothes similar to the bald man. At this moment, the man and woman, who appeared to be a couple, were sitting back to back on a wooden bench, panting constantly.
The last man is much younger. He looks to be in his early 30s. He has a little beard on his chin. He is not tall and is dressed differently. Because of his short stature, the suit always looks awkward on his body.
It gave people an awkward feeling, similar to the other two. He was half exhausted from running for too long and squatted on the ground, panting and loosening the tie around his neck from time to time.
At present, these three strange Europeans and Americans are resting separately like this. Xu has still not recovered from the panic. For a while, the three of them did not speak except for gasping.
Chen Hailong was even more unbearable. If the earlier running was purely due to helplessness, then when he stopped to rest, he would have been in a miserable state because of his fat body. If He Fei hadn't kindly given him the last stool,
This guy will most likely collapse to the ground.
Only He Fei was in slightly better condition. After all, he joined the running team halfway, and the distance he ran was much shorter than the others. In addition, his health was already good, and he basically recovered after taking a breather.
At this moment, while most people had not yet recovered, He Fei was observing the three Europeans and Americans except Chen Hailong without saying a word, and a lot of questions involuntarily emerged in his mind.
Who are these people? Where did they come from? And why did they appear with Chen Hailong?
Isn't this town a deserted town? If it's a deserted town, why would outsiders come? Chen Hailong and himself, after all, both of them appeared here inexplicably, so what He Fei really cares about at the moment is those three people
Europeans and Americans, and
That incomprehensible thing just now!
Yes, it’s incomprehensible. When they were running earlier, all the others kept looking as frightened as they were being chased. Without exception, they all shouted for help, shouting that a murderous madman was chasing them. If there really was a madman here,
It’s okay to chase and kill, there’s nothing wrong with escaping, but
But why do you think there is nothing behind you? Not to mention the murderous madman, there is not even a mouse behind you after running away all the way?
He Fei didn't understand, really didn't understand.
However, just when He Fei frowned and tried to analyze the reason on his own, Xu had rested enough. Suddenly, the middle-aged bald man left his seat as if he had a sudden nervous breakdown, walked up to the man in the suit, and then walked in front of him.
With everyone watching, they grabbed each other's collar, pulled him up, and then angrily yelled at the man in the suit:
"Frank! You bastard, how did you become a tour guide? I paid you to take us to Bordeaux, but I didn't expect you to take us to this wilderness and meet a murderous madman. I need you to explain
