After running to the second floor, the little boy's figure had disappeared.
"Where are the people?" Miao Ruoshi frowned and looked around in confusion.
The last time they came, Jimmy Anson didn't invite them to the second floor, so they didn't come up.
Now when they arrived at the second floor, Meng Nan and others found that the second floor here looked extremely dark.
"Hey!" Suddenly, a voice came from not far away. Meng Nan and others looked at the sound and saw a little boy's little head peeking out from the corner.
The little boy's eyes looked like two glass balls, which seemed to be covered with a thick layer of dust under the dim light.
"Let's go!" Meng Nan said in a deep voice, and the others walked quickly in the direction of the little boy.
However, at this moment, the door next to the corridor suddenly opened, and a middle-aged man walked out: "Who are you?"
The middle-aged man's face was as cold as frost, and he looked very irritable.
"Are you Mr. Edward?" Meng Nan secretly guessed and said.
"I am, who are you? Why did you break into my house?" Edward said coldly.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Edward." Chen Ruier took a step forward and stretched out her hand to Edward: "We came here this morning, but you were not at home. Then Mr. Jimmy told us that you would be back around this time, so let us come over at this time.
."
"Jimmy asked you to come?" Edward frowned slightly and shook hands with Chen Ruier: "I'm sorry, Jimmy and Lisa went out and didn't tell me."
"We were too presumptuous." Chen Ruier said with a smile: "Knocked on the door downstairs, and the door opened by itself, and we came in. I'm really sorry."
"It's okay." Edward shook his head and glanced at Meng Nan and others: "What do you want to see me for?"
"Well, we are reporters for the school newspaper of the University of San Francisco." George said, "We specialize in studying customs and legends from various places. I heard that there is a nursery rhyme here that is very strange, so I came to study it."
"Nursery Rhyme? Mary Shaw?" Edward frowned.
"That's right." George nodded: "It's the nursery rhyme about Mary Shaw. 'Beware of Mary Shaw's gaze, she has no children...'"
"Okay!" However, before George could finish his words, he was interrupted sharply by Edward: "We live in a small town, and our narrow vision has resulted in feudal superstition. There is nothing to say."
"But..." George wanted to speak, but was directly interrupted by Edward.
"Since you are students at the University of San Francisco, you shouldn't be as narrow-minded as the residents of this small town, and you shouldn't believe in these feudal superstitions!" Edward snapped.
"Sometimes 'superstition' may not really be superstition." Chen Ruier suddenly said: "Just like sometimes what you see may not be true."
"That's right." Meng Nan nodded: "And, Mr. Edward, you have misunderstood. We don't really believe in these nursery rhymes, but we are just exploring the social background behind the nursery rhymes."
"Social background?" Edward looked at Meng Nan doubtfully.
"That's right." Meng Nan nodded: "When people are oppressed, they are willing to create some nursery rhymes to resist oppression. When people are not living well, they are willing to create some nursery rhymes about pursuing happiness. Our purpose is to find out what is behind these nursery rhymes.
social mapping.”
"If you say that, you may be disappointed." Edward said solemnly: "I don't understand the 'social reflection' behind this nursery rhyme."
"That's such a pity." Meng Nan sighed: "From what Mr. Jimmy said, I thought you knew."
"I'm sorry." Edward said again: "I also need to take a rest. If you have nothing to do, please leave."
When Meng Nan and others saw this, they had no choice but to turn around and leave.
But just when Meng Nan and others were about to go downstairs, Meng Nan suddenly turned around and looked at Edward: "Mr. Edward, I have one last question!"
Then Meng Nan's eyes were fixed on Edward's face: "We saw a little boy when we just came up. Who was that?"
Upon hearing Meng Nan's words, Edward's face instantly darkened.
"Haha, there is no one else in our family except me now." Edward said solemnly: "You are wrong! Please leave quickly!"
Meng Nan and the others didn't say anything, but walked downstairs directly and drove towards the town in the car.
"How is it? Is he alive?" Meng Nan looked at Chen Ruier.
"That's right." Chen Ruier nodded: "Although I don't know what happened, he is indeed still alive."
"Moreover, he doesn't have Mary Xiao's soul power." Sun Tianzhao said, "It's just that there is something strange about the trail."
"Strange?" Meng Nan looked at Sun Tianzhao doubtfully.
"Yes, this Mr. Edward, although he is indeed a living person, he always gives the trail an inappropriate feeling." Sun Tianzhao pondered for a moment and said, "It's like the kind of box that contains things and the things it contains.
It doesn’t feel consistent.”
"Doesn't it match?" Meng Nan nodded.
"However, you say that Edward has such a bad temper, but Mr. Henry still says that his temper has improved a lot. So what was his temper like back then?" Miao Ruoshi said.
"If I'm not wrong, in the past, he might have beaten us out when he saw us." George shook his head: "I am more concerned about the little boy. Why is Edward unwilling to admit his existence?
?”
"Mike Anson." Meng Nan thought: "He should be regarded as the origin of the whole incident. He must know a lot of things."
"But." Meng Nan hesitated again: "Even if he knew a lot of things, would he tell us? Or, is that really Mike Anson?"
"You mean, that little boy might be a trap set by Mary Xiao?" George nodded: "It's very possible."
As soon as George finished speaking, Miao Ruoshi braked and stopped. Meng Nan and others were startled by Miao Ruoshi's actions.
"What's wrong?" Meng Nan looked at Miao Ruoshi.
"There is someone in front!" Miao Ruoshi said in a deep voice.
Meng Nan and others hurriedly looked forward and saw rows of "people" standing neatly on both sides of the road ahead. No, it was more like rows of dolls than people.
They stood there with their heads lowered and no expression on their faces.
"What are these?" Meng Nan frowned tightly, mobilizing Chu Renmei's power, and a blue light enveloped his eyes.
However, at this moment, all the figures disappeared, replaced by a woman with a ferocious face.
"Wow!" the woman screamed and rushed towards Meng Nan.
Meng Nan's expression suddenly changed, and there was only one thought in his mind——
