What would you do when a middle-aged man with an ordinary face and average body suddenly calls you "meow"?
1. Turn a blind eye.
2. Stare at each other angrily.
3. Overjoyed.
…
Jason's hand involuntarily tightened his grip on the broad-bladed, short-handled machete. It took great willpower to resist swinging the knife out of his hand.
However, my chest felt tight.
My head feels a little dizzy.
Feeling a little nauseous in my stomach.
I still want to eat something sour in my mouth.
Denise, the deceased, rushed directly behind Jason, looking at Peters in horror with her eyes exposed, as if she had seen a pervert, and kept muttering: "Is this the world of adults?
terrible!"
Peters froze.
Then he glared at Denise.
But immediately, the middle-aged coachman withdrew his gaze from the deceased, and instead focused on Jason.
Looking at Jason with an expressionless face.
Peters felt disappointed in his heart.
Did I guess wrong?
yes.
How could something that should have disappeared long ago exist?
Who else remembers this now?
After the middle-aged coachman smiled self-deprecatingly, he said solemnly to Jason: "Sorry, I was rude just now due to some misunderstanding. When should we set off?"
After confirming that there were no strange or surprising changes in the other party, Jason nodded.
"immediately."
As Jason spoke, he began to pour the soup from the pot into the cowhide bag.
It was only then that Jason suddenly remembered.
He forgot to make jerky!
There must be too much time!
I forgot about it in a hurry!
and……
Isn’t there still soup?
Jason told himself immediately, and his hand when pouring soup became more and more steady, and nothing was missed.
"What do you want all this soup for?"
Denise asked curiously.
"This is 'holy water'."
"Indispensable for exorcism rituals."
Jason said seriously.
The dead girl's face froze, and then she showed an expression that said, "I don't know much about education and you want to lie to me."
Jason didn't explain any more.
Until the carriage set off again, Jason remained silent, and Denise also became quiet and stopped talking.
Because, Carl Town has arrived.
Under the night, the illuminated buildings and stars are like beacons guiding the way.
There were security guards patrolling the gate of the town, and after Peters showed "Delin Automobile Dealers" and his ID, he obtained the pass.
"If you want to stay in a hotel, you can go to Jade Hotel..."
"never mind."
"Something happened there. If you want to stay, you can stay there."
The leading Sheriff introduced the hotels in the town as usual, but when he had just finished speaking, he thought of something and could only shake his head slightly.
And Jason keenly noticed that Denise trembled when she heard the word 'emerald'.
Is it home?
Jason guessed.
Denise took a few deep breaths and then said to the driver.
"Please go straight, then turn right at the first intersection and pull over after 20 meters."
Peters didn't answer.
The carriage moved in the direction Denise said.
Da da da.
The collision of the wheels with the gravel road made a unique crisp sound.
When the noise disappeared, the carriage had stopped at the entrance of the Emerald Hotel.
This is a three-story building with a lawn in front of the door. Although it has entered autumn and the lawn has already turned yellow, under the careful care of the owner, it does not appear barren. Instead, there is a kind of vitality that is deep and gaining momentum.
a feeling of.
Denise sat in the carriage, staring blankly at the lawn and the hotel in the distance.
It takes care of the lawn.
Originally, I was looking forward to seeing the lawn sprout again in the spring.
And now?
It will also be buried in the soil.
How about transplanting this lawn to my grave?
The dead girl tries her best to make herself happy in her own way.
but……
useless.
It looked at the familiar hotel in the distance, with longing in its eyes, but more... timidity.
"you say……"
"Am I fit to go back?"
Denise asked Jason.
His voice trembled unconsciously.
Jason looked at Denise and said nothing.
He is not used to giving advice to others.
I don’t think I am qualified to give advice to others.
After all, everyone's choice requires everyone to bear the consequences.
Under Jason's gaze, Denise lowered her head, and then tried her best to smile.
pity……
That smile is really ugly.
"I see!"
"The dead must have the consciousness of the dead, I..."
Denise wore that ugly smile and wanted to express her position. At this time, the hotel door opened and a middle-aged woman wearing a sarong came out.
Through the light, Jason could see that the other party had a similar appearance to Denise.
The other person's eyes were red and his face looked sad.
When he came to the carriage, he showed the same ugly smile as Denise.
"terribly sorry."
"There's something going on at home."
"We are temporarily closed."
When the other party said this, he bowed apologetically.
Looking at her mother in front of her, Denise could no longer restrain her emotions and pushed open the car door.
"mom……"
It shouted and was about to rush down.
But at this moment, it suddenly remembered its deceased identity.
How would its mother react when she saw it like this?
Timidity appeared again.
But the car door has been pushed open.
Its mother can see it by looking up.
It tried its best to hide.
Then……
It found that its body had become nothing.
Nothingness that ordinary people cannot see.
But Jason noticed that the perception, which was more than twice that of an ordinary person, was enough for Jason to notice something strange about Denise.
"Invisible?"
"No!"
"It seems to be an ability similar to invisibility and hiding."
Jason watched Denise's still and vague appearance, but immediately, he had to shift his attention.
Because, Denise's mother raised her head and looked at him.
"You've just……"
"I'm Denise's friend."
"I saw the newspaper."
"I'm here to pay my respects and express my condolences."
Jason interrupted Denise's mother and said seriously.
"Denise's friend?!"
Denise's mother looked at Jason who had stepped out of the carriage in surprise.
Tall, strong, with a resolute face, mature, and well-dressed, it was hard for her to believe that her silly daughter would have such a friend.
"plz follow me."
Denise's mother said.
Then, lead the way.
In the hotel, a mourning hall has been set up. A man who is the opposite age to Denise's mother is sitting in the mourning hall, with two teenagers beside him.
The similarity between the eyebrows suggests that they are Denise's father and brother.
The family was surprised to see Jason walking in, especially after hearing that Jason was Denise's friend and came to express condolences. The father even said directly: "I am a lazy person who doesn't want to make progress."
, my daughter who stays up late all day, doesn’t know how to get up early, eats the wrong meals, and is clumsy, has such a steady, upright, and reliable friend like you. It’s really her honor.”
For such direct words, Jason thought...
Quite right!
So, accept it calmly.
Then, just as Jason was about to complete the condolence process——
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
The sound of knocking suddenly sounded again and again.
