Several people looked at each other with fear in their eyes, the clerk George wanted to hide in the kitchen, the boss rummaged through the counter, probably forgetting where the bullets were hidden, Carter looked at Ye Zifei hesitantly and said, "Why don't we go out and have a look?" ”

Ye Zifei sighed, she had already heard it, the gunshot was nearby, it was a point 22 rifle, the muzzle was empty, and soon there was no movement, thinking of Dill who had just gone out, Ye Zifei felt a little big.

She held the knife in her backhand, and walked out alone, ignoring their reactions, and soon several other men followed her, and opened the door to the inn, only to see Dill lying in the snow, his neck cut and blood spilling all over the ground, and he was holding a rifle in his hand.

There were a series of footprints in the snow, all the way to the woods, and the wind and snow did not have time to hide the traces.

The boss stammered and asked, "What now?" Do you want to call the police? ”

Ye Zifei smiled: "Of course, people are not what we are afraid of?" ”

Carter asked, "Who is the murderer?" ”

Ye Zifei walked over on the snow, stopped a few meters away, observed his wound, and the others followed, and the clerk George was horrified: "Is it a bear?" We used to have a lot of bears here. ”

Judging from the wound on Diel's neck, the flesh was blurry, and it looked like it had been torn by a giant bear with its claws.

Ye Zifei squatted down, tilted his head to look, stretched out his fingers and gestured, and said with a wry smile: "I'm afraid not, it was cut off by a dagger." ”

"How do you know, who would deliberately come out of the mountains to kill people in such weather, and then flee back, is he dead?"

Ye Zifei didn't explain, no matter how he died, it had nothing to do with him, he was just a traveler detained by heavy snow, and she didn't want to cause trouble. However, she noticed that Carter and the boss's faces had become odd.

"You seem to know something?" ”

The boss squeaked, "It's similar to a rumor we have here, but I'm not sure." ”

Carter swallowed his saliva and said, "It's been more than ten years, shouldn't it?" ”

Ye Zifei stood up. Looking at the direction in which the footprints left, the dense woods in the distance were covered with heavy snow, stretching for dozens of miles, and it was impossible to see the situation inside. It's very mysterious. It was too cold outside, but after a while she was too cold to die, and turned to go back to the inn, with a shadow in her heart.

A few people returned to the store, but luckily there was still heating. The body warmed up a lot at once, and the boss took out a bottle of liquor and poured himself a few sips before remembering to add a glass to everyone else.

George, the clerk, asked, "What the hell are you talking about?" ”

The boss muttered, "It's just a legend, no one has ever confirmed it." ”

Carter seemed a little interested, explaining: "There is a legend that has been circulating in our country since I was a child, I was frightened by my parents like this, and once near the end of World War II, the German army began to transfer some important materials and experiments, and some people said that there was a laboratory like this in the mountains of ours. ”

The boss said: "It's all old man's nonsense, I've been living here for almost fifty years." Never seen before. ”

Ignoring the boss's complaints, Carter continued: "They have been hiding in the mountains, doing inhumane experiments, creating many terrible monsters, legend has it that the big snow monsters, genetic people, are all biochemical weapons cloned by them. ”

The boss responded: "It's very popular in our place, and in the early years there were often people who disappeared for no apparent reason, and I heard that they also kidnapped children from all over the world to create a new human race. to reign again on this earth. ”

Kidnapping a child? Ye Zifei frowned, she remembered that when she was a child in her previous life, the Killer Organization Training Base did the same at that time, and she vaguely remembered that she was also locked up in a cold laboratory at the beginning. But at that time, I was too young to remember many things.

Could it be that this lab has something to do with a killer organization?

Carter said: "Yes, when I was in elementary school, two of my classmates disappeared like this, but the explanation given by the government investigation was that they were lost in the forest. ”

"Hell! Damn the government, they never really cared about our existence. ”

Carter suddenly stopped talking. It was as if he remembered something again, and shivered.

Ye Zifei noticed and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"No, it's nothing, it's too cold."

Ye Zifei stared at him and continued to ask, "What do you know?" Tell us about it, it's just small talk, we won't reveal it to the outside world. The others stared at Carter with staring blankly.

Carter picked up the liquor on the table and took two sips and said, "Once Benita. Mrs. Morton also disappeared for a year, and later brought back a little girl, who she said she had adopted. ”

The boss said, "Oh, is it Jane?" That's a famous beauty in the town, and I heard that she has gone to the United States now. ”

Carter irritated, "Yes, damn women, they all deserve to go to hell." ”

Ye Zifei felt a little uncomfortable, Carter rubbed his forehead and said, "I'm sorry, I'm not targeting you, in fact, I once had a relationship with Jane, when there were very few peers in the town, and we fell in love until college, and then ...... You know, it's not so good! ”

Ye Zifei was not interested in their love story, but was curious about Benita's disappearance, and asked, "Lady Morton has disappeared once?" ”

The boss recalled: "Yes, this matter was very troublesome at that time, you know that the Morton family is very powerful in our place, they once organized a search of the mountain, thousands of people went up the mountain to look for it, but in the end they still did not find it." ”

Carter said, "I also participated that time, and it seems that since then, we have been circulating the legend of the wild man here. ”

"Someone has been attacked?"

The boss was frightened: "Yes, the end is the same as him, his throat was cut, but some people say that it is a German soldier who survived World War II." ”

So it seems that Benita's disappearance is not so simple, Ye Zifei asked: "After she came back, didn't she explain her whereabouts?" ”

The boss straightened his beard and said, "I heard that I went to Belgium, but no one can prove it, and I adopted Jane." I heard the townspeople who used to be in the store say that when she came back, she came back on foot, she was a little unconscious, she looked ragged, she walked a long way, as if she had fled and returned, and they said that Jane was her illegitimate daughter outside. ”

Ye Zifei gently rubbed the middle knuckle of his right hand, and fell into deep thought, come to the Morton family? Why she felt so familiar with this name, as if she had heard it somewhere, she had an amazing memory, but now she had no clue.

Carter finally spoke again: "I heard from the adults that the Morton family migrated from Germany. ”

The boss cut off a beard, inhaled cold air and said, "Yes, after World War II!" (To be continued.) )
