Chapter 222: Another wave of invasions
Just as Barry was walking leisurely towards the super pet store, the figure of Marcus suddenly appeared at his door, accompanied by a blonde beauty.
Looks like they're here specifically looking for Barry.
However, they were destined to run in vain, because Barry had already left the house in Audrey's hitchhike to avoid Mrs. Celine's rebuke.
And Mrs. Celine was quick to inform them of the news.
By the time Barry wasn't home now, a hint of loss flashed across the two men's faces.
After politely rejecting Mrs. Celine's invitation to come into the house for a break, the two of them left Barry's house.
"Marcus, I'm going crazy with those anomalies, can you give me a reliable advice."
"You know what? In two or three days at most, the figure would be walking up to my bed, and I couldn't imagine what a horrible thing it would be. ”
"I'm going to be killed by that monster, I will." As she spoke, she began to cry, and it looked like she was about to break down.
The blonde beauty is none other than Marcus' cousin, Heidi.
She's the one who helps Barry choose a birthday present and teaches Barry the secrets of their relationship.
But now her state is not very good, the original radiant eyes have become dull, and the long golden hair is not as soft as before, but has a sense of dryness, which seems to be the owner's unintentional care.
Her whole spirit has also weakened, and she is completely absent from the way she scolded Marcus in the supermarket at the beginning, and now she is only depressed and manic.
These two contradictory personalities manifest themselves in her at the same time, making her look unusually vulnerable.
And Marcus didn't get angry when he heard the other party say this, although the contact time was not long, and there were still some contradictions before, but their blood was still thicker than water.
And having listened to Heidi's stories about what had happened to her in recent days, he could clearly hear Heidi's fear and uneasiness.
So he can still understand Heidi's current attitude.
As for why Marcus brought Heidi over to Barry, he naturally came to Barry for help.
Since the last time Heidi and Barry were separated, something strange had happened around her.
"The sound of heavy footsteps at night, the furnishings in the house that move themselves when you wake up, and the strange figure that is getting closer and closer in your dreams..."
These anomalies that happened around her oppressed her spirit all the time.
At first, she thought that someone was playing a prank, so she deliberately found her agent and asked her to accompany her to catch each other at night.
She insisted that night she didn't sleep, but that strange thing didn't happen, and she threw herself into the air.
And after two or three times like this, her agent can't bear it, after all, who can stay up all night without sleeping!
So her agent could only give her an idea, asking her to move to a hotel to rest first, and change the place where she rested, which might become a little better.
But it didn't help, and she didn't escape these strange things while staying in the hotel.
She could still see the strange figure in her dreams, and the footsteps of that figure were getting heavier and heavier, and they were getting closer and closer to her.
The dark shadow that was originally outside the door opened the door, the living room, the bedroom, and moved towards the bed in her dream day by day, and was even about to touch her.
She also reported it to the police station, and the police saw that her condition was not very good, and did send two peace officers to help her look for clues, but nothing was found.
Therefore, I can only think that she is hallucinating due to too much mental pressure, and it is recommended that she see a psychiatrist to relieve the nervous pressure.
As for why the police station here did not report to the Security Bureau, it was entirely because it felt unnecessary.
After all, there were no casualties, and no one else could prove that there really was a monster, and Heidi's words alone were not enough to alarm the Security Service.
If even such unconfirmed cases had to be investigated, then the members of the Security Service would not want to have free time.
Since the officials can't help themselves, Heidi can only ask for help from acquaintances.
She originally wanted to go to Marcus's father and ask this uncle, who was quite powerful in Bauhinia City, to give her some help.
However, she happened to meet Marcus on the way, who saw that something was wrong with her and asked her if she was in trouble.
And Heidi didn't hide it, and directly told Marcus exactly what happened around her, after all, for drowning people, even a straw wants to grasp.
Even if Marcus can't help her out, at least there is someone who can share her stress.
As soon as Marcus heard Heidi's story, he guessed that the strange things that happened to Heidi were likely to have something to do with the inner world and those unknown monsters.
Barry's punch last night, as well as the things he vaguely mentioned, and most importantly, the line of the Security Bureau, all made him understand that there was an unscientific magical world.
So the first person he could think of to solve the incident was of course his good brother Barry, after all, Barry really showed his strength, and the relationship between them was very good.
However, Marcus is now sorry that Barry is not at home, and he can only continue to comfort his cousin Heidi.
"Cousin Heidi, don't worry, I'll be able to find someone to help you solve your problem today."
Marcus's categorical words put Heidi, who was in a state of collapse, to settle down.
Heidi forced her spirits up and stood up again: "Since we didn't find Barry, where do we go after that?" ”
"Let's go to the Iron Cross, that's where I practice martial arts, and the instructors in it are all real people who can definitely figure out what happened to you."
Heidi was out of idea now, and she didn't know where to turn for help, so she followed Marcus on the bus to the city center.
Barry was walking home satisfied, as he had now got the four toys he had ordered.
These toys are really worth their price, full of toughness and great strength at the same time, and the whole is very strong.
Barry didn't destroy them with half of his strength, so I guess Huck would be happy with them.
Although the seven gold galleons that paid the balance made Barry's savings shrink again, it was all worth it.
After all, when he made the payment, the sweet "thank you for your patronage" from those young ladies, as well as the look at the local tyrants, made him feel very satisfied.
Before leaving, he specially gave him a few more bags of snacks to keep Barry's food stock sufficient.
He didn't want to go anywhere now, he didn't want to do anything, he just wanted to go home and get his hands on the second card of Impermanence in Huck's hand, even if he had to continue to face Mrs. Celine's blame.
"Alas! Let's quietly call Huck out! It's best not to alarm your mother, it feels really uncomfortable to be ridiculed! ”
Barry, who was fantasizing about what he could do with the second card, suddenly heard someone calling his name.
So he stopped and looked around to see who was looking for him.
Barry didn't see any acquaintances, though, except for a bus parked not far from him.
Today's buses have fixed routes, but they don't have fixed stops, and they can stop at any time as long as they are not at intersections.
Barry then sees Marcus pulling Heidi in his arms, jumping off the bus in a hurry, and then running towards him.
When Barry saw this, he was a little confused and didn't know what was going on.
But the consciousness of being the protagonist made him understand that there was trouble again, and he was going to start busy again.
"I just finished fighting the ratherdsman yesterday, and I haven't had a day off, so a new plot has been arranged!" Barry could only look at the sky, helplessness written on his face.
