Through the crimson moonlight, the three of them saw with some horror that something was indeed walking in the field.

But apparently it wasn't the townspeople, or even humans, it was the well-made scarecrows walking in the fields!

I saw them stiffly dragging their bodies made of golden straw, walking slowly in the fields.

Fortunately, Jeffrey found out in time so that they were not exposed to the eyes of these scarecrows.

Otherwise, what will happen next, no one knows.

Watching nearly a dozen scarecrows slowly walk through the fields and slowly into the town, Chris asked in a low voice:

"What the hell are these weird scarecrows?"

"If we want to know the answer, it seems that we have to go along and have a look. Paul said with a solemn expression.

Jeffrey on the side unfolded his vision, but there was a layer of black mist around the scarecrows, and he couldn't see anything clearly.

Paul stretched out his index finger, wearing the "Ring of the Heart", injected a touch of spirituality into it, and then simply reported what was in front of him to Captain James.

After a few seconds, the ring on Paul's finger lit up, and Paul heard James's voice ringing in his head:

"Be careful, don't act rashly, we'll get there right away. ”

Paul whispered James's words, and the three of them carefully followed the scarecrows to see what their purpose was.

Meanwhile, on a street, the three Wayne were leaning on the window of a house and peeking inside.

Inside the house was a middle-aged couple, both sitting quietly at the dining table.

On the table are rye bread and a bowl of bean soup, as well as three pan-fried baby eels.

But to the surprise of the three Wayne, there were only two of them, why were there three pairs of cutlery on the table.

"Sister Wayne, it's already dark, aren't we going back?" Bonnie asked quietly, she didn't know why, she always felt that the couple was a little weird.

"Let's wait a little longer. ”

Wayne raised her eyebrows, a little puzzled:

"They have already prepared the meal, but they don't cook, and the third pair of knives and forks, who are they waiting for?"

"Probably waiting for the guests. "Maybe it's their kids going out." ”

Vayne frowned and said:

"Don't you think their expressions are weird?"

Indeed, the husband and wife, who were sitting at the dinner table honestly, did not talk much throughout the whole process, but just looked at the door with happy expressions.

At this moment, the "Mind Ring" on Vayne's finger lit up, and James's voice came into Vayne's mind.

"What?" said Wayne, surprised, "Paul's upright scarecrow? How is that possible?"

"Sister Wayne...... Look over there. Bonnie's voice trembled and tugged at the corner of Wayne's clothes, "What's that?"

I saw a vague figure walking slowly on the street in the distance.

"Let's go into hiding. ”

Elton, who reacted the fastest, whispered, and quickly pulled the two ladies together to hide in the shadow of another wall.

Under the illumination of the scarlet moon, the three of Vayne finally saw the figure clearly, and it turned out to be a scarecrow walking upright!

Immediately, in the wide eyes of the three Vayne, the scarecrow raised his straw arm, slowly pushed open the door of the house, and walked in slowly.

Then Wayne and the three quietly returned to the window and secretly checked the situation inside.

What catches my eye is a strange scene:

I saw that the husband and wife and the scarecrow first hugged each other, and then sat happily at the table enjoying a not sumptuous dinner.

Behind him, Elton patted Wayne on the shoulder and whispered:

"If we are found out, we should join the boss first. ”

Wayne looked at the extremely strange scene inside and nodded solemnly.

It's really inappropriate to rush in now, maybe there are some potential dangers, so it's better to quickly meet up with your teammates and discuss countermeasures together.

But on the rest of the way, the three Vayne had to stop and go, because the streets were already full of rickety scarecrows.

It's like a rickety baby, looking for their own family.

They walked to the doors of each house, as if they were part of the family, and walked in naturally.

And all the owners of the houses did not have the slightest expression of horror, as if they were also normal people, and they had different dinners together.

If this is the case for one or two families, Wayne doesn't feel much yet.

But then I found out that on these streets, it seems that there is a scarecrow in every house, which is too terrifying.

James and Bert, who had returned from the farm, had the same situation.

The streets are filled with slow-walking scarecrows, large and small, like marionettes, roaming the streets and entering different houses.

At this time, James's voice sounded in the heads of Wayne and Paul, respectively:

"Ladies and gentlemen, I'm sure you've also encountered these scarecrows who are acting strangely, and we don't know exactly what this is going on, so hurry back to the inn, don't show your tracks, and we'll discuss the next steps together. ”

The three Chris who followed behind those scarecrows naturally saw them walking into the homes of the townspeople.

After hearing the captain's instructions, he no longer followed them, but carefully hid his whereabouts and ran towards the hotel.

Nearly half an hour later, everyone returned to the hotel.

After watching the last three Chris come in, James locked the door of the hotel suite and said with a wry smile:

"I'm afraid there are only eight normal travelers in this hotel, and only here are the weird scarecrows. ”

"What the hell are those weird-looking scarecrows?"

Elton looked at Jeffrey, the only one of them who was proficient in souls, and then asked:

"Do you know if they're alive or because of outside influences?"

Looking at everyone's expectant eyes, Jeffrey shook his head and said:

"Those scarecrows were covered in black air, and I couldn't see them clearly in my vision. ”

Hearing that Jeffrey had no answer, James frowned and said:

"If it's an outside influence, it's estimated that there is a person or thing here that can control these scarecrows. ”

"Yes. Wayne agreed, "I suspect a seal with strange abilities is here. ”

"Is it possible that they were made alive?" Bert interjected, "after all, a lot of passers-by and tourists have disappeared here. ”

Wayne recounted the scene he had just seen in front of everyone, and then said:

"Judging by the way the scarecrows get along with the locals, it's clear that these residents are not normal either, and it is likely that something has taken them all under control. ”

"yes, those residents treat the scarecrow like normal family. Bonnie looked scared, "It's horrible. ”

"I think the culprits are the scarecrows. Elton said.

"It looks like these scarecrows repeat that scene every night. "So the inhabitants of this place receive them every night, and during the day, the scarecrows are expected to leave the houses and go back to the fields." ”

"In that case, the police station and the church have fallen. Paul analyzed, "I'm afraid there are no normal people here anymore." ”

There was a moment of silence, and if that was the case, it was a very tricky matter.

It gives you goosebumps even to think about it, after all, the entire inhabitants of the town are controlled by unknown people or things, and live with these weird scarecrows every day.

During the day, the residents seemed normal and did not seem to have any problems.

"Boss, what are we going to do tomorrow?" Elton asked, looking at James.

"This ......," James hesitated, he didn't have a good plan for a while.

"I'll use my dreams for divination. Chris spoke, then pulled a straw out of his pocket, "I secretly dragged it from the field, and I was with those scarecrows all day, so I should be able to divinate a little information." ”

"Well done. James gave Chris a thumbs up.

So Chris sat down in a chair, and after feeding a gold coin to the "greedy pocket watch", he held the straw in his left hand and the pocket watch in his right hand, and after a few seconds, he fell into a dream.

It was an ordinary house, and Chris looked at the environment in the dream, and there didn't seem to be any one in the house at this time.

Chris walked into the living room, and there was a smoking glass on the table, indicating that the owner of the house must have just left the house.

After walking around the living room to no avail, Chris hurried to find the owner's bedroom.

After all, if there's anything strange here, it's probably in the owner's bedroom.

Sure enough, Chris pushed open the door of one of the bedrooms, only to see a dirty scarecrow doll on the table.

Just by looking at it, Chris felt the hairs on his whole body open.

Then, to his horror, Chris discovered:

That shabby scarecrow doll actually showed a weird and crazy smile at herself!

Immediately, Chris's head felt a sharp pain, and his eyes opened suddenly.

Looking at Chris, who was covered with a fine layer of sweat on his head, James asked with concern:

"What's going on with the divination?"

After taking the handkerchief handed by Bonnie and wiping his sweat, Chris's voice was a little hoarse:

"My dream just now was supposed to be the room of a resident of the town, and in the bedroom of the owner of the house, I saw a dilapidated scarecrow doll. ”

As he spoke, Chris gestured to his arm, "It's about half an arm's size." ”

"And then?" Elton asked anxiously.

"And then ......"

Chris's expression suddenly became strange, and he said in a condensed tone:

Then the scarecrow smiled at me, and I woke up. ”
