When Bart woke up from his nightmare, the sky was already slightly cooler, and the sun's rays dispelled the depth of the night, and at the same time dispelled some of the fear in Bart's heart.
Bart touched his forehead and felt that his back was already covered with sweat.
"Go take a bath..." Bart shook his head to clear last night's nightmare from his mind.
He got up from the bed, walked to the window, picked up his clothes, and prepared to take a bath in the early morning to wake himself up. However, when his eyes inadvertently saw the glass of the window, his expression changed in vain.
He yelled, was so frightened that he jumped back, and then fell to the floor.
The movement in the room naturally attracted the attention of Bart's mother. She opened Bart's door and said in an accusing voice: "Bart, why are you making so much noise in the room so early in the morning?"
Seeing his mother come in, Bart seemed to have found support. He quickly approached and pointed at the bloody handprints outside the window and said, "Yes, a demon has appeared!"
Bart's mother looked at the bloody handprint on the window glass. The handprint was much larger than a normal person, but Bart's mother didn't pay attention to her son's little prank.
She knocked Bart on the head and said to him: "Remember to clean the windows, and your room also needs to be tidied."
Yes, Bart's mother didn't care about the bloody handprint at all.
This made Bart's face pale again. He didn't know how to explain it to his mother. At the same time, he also knew that no matter how he explained, his mother would probably not believe it.
At this moment, Bart felt so powerless that he almost cried on the spot.
"It's just a prank, it's just a prank." Bart, who had no choice but to use this method to comfort himself, maybe it was just like what his mother said, it was a prank by some guy?
He suddenly thought of the classmates who fought with him yesterday. Maybe they were playing tricks on him and wanted to see him embarrassed.
Yes, that must be the case.
With an uneasy feeling, Bart went out to school. He deliberately avoided the road he usually took, so he didn't meet Yali.
Until he came to the classroom.
Ya'er arrived a little earlier than Bart today and was sitting next to Ankel, talking to him, and the two of them laughed from time to time.
Normally, Bart might have gone over to tease Yaeri for his timidity and show off his bravery, but today he was not in the mood.
"Good morning, Bart, why are you here so late today?" Anker saw Bart walking into the classroom and greeted him as usual.
"...It took me a little time on the road." Bart said with a forced smile on his face. In fact, it was because of the detour and the route was longer than usual.
"What a coincidence. Ya'erli also told me just now that he was delayed a little on the road." Ankel said curiously.
"Yalli?" Bart looked a little confused.
Ya'erli thought that Bart was in the same situation as him, and he said mysteriously: "You should also be stopped."
"What?"
"What else could it be? Of course it's the police. I heard that a boatman died last night on the street. I heard that he died acutely due to alcohol allergy. Anyway, my parents left for work very early this morning."
Before Ya'erli noticed, Bart's face became more and more ugly, with fear on his face, and he kept shaking his head and walking back, "No... no, that's just a dream..."
It wasn't until Bart bumped into a girl and was scolded that Ya'erli noticed Bart's extremely ugly expression.
"Hey, what's wrong with you? You look so ugly."
Ankel obviously noticed it before Arili, and she asked with concern: "Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere in your body? Do you need to go to the infirmary?"
Bart seemed to have just come to his senses. He rushed out of the classroom, not even asking for his schoolbag, and just threw it on the ground.
Ankel and Ya'erli looked at each other and finally realized that something was wrong. They tacitly agreed not to speak, but chased after each other at the same time.
When they went out, they almost bumped into the teacher who was attending the first class in the morning. Amid the teacher's questioning, the two of them rushed out of the classroom without even thinking.
If there were no accidents, they would probably skip this class.
Bart's motor skills were very good, at least better than Anker and Yali's, so half an hour had passed when the two found him. This was thanks to them knowing where Bart would go.
This is the forest around the school, far away from the port. Because of the remote location, some animals are often encountered in the forest, but most of them are not dangerous.
So Bart, Yali and Anker built their own cabin in this remote forest. They called it a shelter. Every time someone had a falling out with their parents and wanted to run away from home.
When the time comes, he will come to this cabin, and the other two people will provide him with some snacks to help him live outside for a few days.
Then go back home and receive your parents' loving mixed doubles.
In short, now, Bart is hiding alone in this cabin, curling up and shivering. Even the moment Ya'erli and Ankel came in, they scared him.
At this time, he looked like the coward he said he was.
"Bart, are you okay? You look a little..." Anker didn't want to say the ugly words because it might irritate Bart even more.
Anker sighed deeply and said, "At least tell us what happened."
"No matter how scary it is, Ya'erli and I will stay here."
Ya'erli showed some flinching expression on his face, but he still nodded with difficulty.
Seeing Ya'erli's funny and contradictory look, Bart finally felt a little better. However, he remained silent for a while before telling the truth.
...
"Ms. Fudo, this is the second time this month that such a bad incident has happened." Hel Yalli said seriously.
He did not say anything accusatory, even though he was a little disdainful of the spy sent from London.
If the other party hadn't asked him to cancel all patrol duties in the police station on the first day he arrived, maybe the boatman would not have died.
Obviously, he didn't realize the intention of not moving.
The condition was the same as that of the teacher's corpse. The face had been gouged out, only half of the brain remaining in the head was exposed, and the corpse was placed in a strange posture.
Fudo is not blind. She can find that the posture of this corpse is different from the previous one. This demon obviously expresses other meanings.
"The time of death of the deceased?" Fudo asked calmly.
"It is speculated that it was around four o'clock in the morning. The specific time still needs to be confirmed by forensics."
Fudo nodded, and after receiving the news, she said to Hel Yali: "Let someone take the body away, and temporarily block this street. You also take your people away for the time being, and try not to get close to here.
"
Hel Yalli frowned visibly, expressing his dissatisfaction. He didn't understand the intention of not moving. Shouldn't he send people to investigate the surrounding area at this time?
But it is a pity that he does not have this right now. For now, Fudo is the boss of the police station in this small town, which undoubtedly makes Hel Yalli feel very irritated.
