Outside Madisontown.

From time to time, the sky resounded with the cries of "woo-wah, woo-wow".

Slabbi hid behind a rock, and sat down on the ground a little tired, and after escaping from the town school, he didn't stop for a moment, just wanting to get away from the horrible creatures.

The wound on his shoulder, which had been cut by the bullet, was slowly healing, and when he heard the cry overhead, Slabi raised his head and looked into the air, feeling that it was not a good sign for him to encounter a crow.

At that moment, Slabi suddenly heard a small sound of footsteps, and he cautiously poked his head out from behind the rock, only to see a slender woman with short blond hair wandering around.

What is this human going to do?

Slabbi's eyes rolled, the corners of his mouth hooked, and he decided to scare the short-haired woman who came out of town alone on this big night.

Staring at the ground behind the short-haired woman, Slabi unleashed the ability as its figure disappeared from behind the rocks and appeared behind the short-haired woman.

Then, it raised its head, waved its hand, and said:

"My name is Slabbi, what's your name?"

The short-haired woman turned around, and instead of the horrified expression that Slabbi had imagined, her face showed an unexpected smile, as if she had known that Slabbi was behind her.

Slabi took a step back slightly, isn't this short-haired woman an ordinary person?

The short-haired woman smiled slightly and said:

"My name is Meg, Mr. Slabbi, hello."

"Meg ......"

Slabi raised a thick eyebrow and blinked, "Who are you?" ”

"Me? Of course I'm human. ”

"You lie, no one can deceive me!"

Slabi was a little angry, although this woman was human in appearance, it could feel a terrible and dangerous aura from this woman, this feeling was so strange, why would it be afraid of this woman?

"Believe it or not."

Meg shrugged, "I'm here to inform you of something. ”

"What's the matter?"

"I see Mr. Stan, he's back in Madison."

"What!?"

Slabi looked extremely surprised, "You mean Daddy is back?" ”

"Yes."

Meg nodded, "I also saw him driving his pickup to the town middle school. ”

"What is he going to do?"

Slabi shook his head and shouted angrily, "I see...... I know...... He must have wanted to take back the man-eating flower, and to meet Odeya, who was the only one in his mind who was his daughter, and we were just monsters he created, damn it...... Slabi was angry...... Very angry......"

"Mr. Slabbi, what do you want to do next?"

"I ......"

Slabi looked up, "Woman, who the hell are you?" What do you want from Srabi? ”

"Don't overthink ......"

Meg smiled, "I'm not interested in you, you're not my target. ”

"Then why are you here to tell me this?"

"Because someone else asked me to deliver the message."

"Who is it?"

Slabi raised thick eyebrows and rounded eyes.

"It's better if you don't know that name......

Meg chuckled, "It's better for you." ”

"...... like this"

Slabbi grinned and laughed, "Slabbi doesn't like you. ”

With that, Slabi disappeared from Meg's eyes.

Meg shook her head, turned around abruptly, and reached behind her back.

Click!

She grabbed Slabi as she appeared behind her.

Slabi waved his arms in panic and shouted:

"Let go of me! Let me go! ”

"Hehe......"

Meg smiled and held out her finger and shook it in front of Slabbi's eyes, "Don't play tricks. ”

With that, she let go of her hand.

Bang!

Slabi sat on the ground with a butt on the ground, and after a long while, he rubbed his ass and stood up, took two steps back, and asked in a trembling voice:

"Who the hell are you?"

"It doesn't matter who I am."

Meg shrugged, "All you have to do is know that I have no ill will towards you." ”

Feeling the unfathomable depths of the other party, Slabi pretended to be pitiful, and said:

"Since there is no malice, will you help Srabi?"

"No ......"

Meg shook her head and said, "Your own business, you need to solve it yourself." ”

"I got it......"

Slabi nodded, "Now that Daddy is back, I know what to do." ”

"What are you going to do?"

Meg snickered, "I'll tell you the bad news, the typewriter is in Mr. Stan's possession too." ”

"Whew...... Isn't that ......?"

Slabi lowered his eyelids, then raised his head to look at the woman in front of him again, and grinned, "I haven't seen Dad in a long time, I'm going to have a big party, I'll invite the rest of my friends to the party, it's going to really move Dad a lot." ”

"Not bad."

Meg nodded, "Then have a great time with you." ”

With that, she waved her hand and turned to walk in the direction of Madison.

Slabi stared at her back, and his wooden eyeballs went dark.

……

Inside the manor house.

Stan looked at Rorschach and pursed his lips with a somewhat serious expression.

Rorschach smiled and said:

"If it's inconvenient, it's okay not to say it."

"It's not that I can't say ......"

Stan sighed, "You've seen the Slabis anyway...... It all started when I was a kid......"

Then he recounted the past of being bullied by other children when he was a child, until he started writing storybooks, looking for friends in storybooks, and as storybooks were written one by one, he also became a professional writer, and after having fame and money, those who used to bully him began to become friendly, but ten years ago, he suddenly ran out of ideas (Carvin) and didn't want to write a word.

At that time, he was very afraid, afraid that he would lose the ability to write, and if he could not write, he would have to go back to his old life, and he did not want to go back to that life.

One day, he received a letter from a reader who said that he knew a way to make a wish, just bury a tin box at the crossroads, put his photo in the box, bury it, wait on the side of the road, and soon a mysterious person will appear and make a deal with you.

At this time, Sam, who had been silent on the side, asked:

"You made a deal with the mystery man?"

"Yes."

Stan nodded, "He gave me a typewriter that I wouldn't run out of inspiration with, but the monsters in the stories I write occasionally come out of the manuscript." ”

"Nothing else to deal?"

"Nope."

Stan shook his head, "Is there anything else to do?" ”

Sam frowned and asked:

"He didn't say he was going to take your soul in ten years?"

"Take my soul?"

Stan was stunned for a moment, "No, there's nothing in the deal." ”

"Is that mystery man a man or a woman?"

"Man."

Stan shrugged, "A pretty attractive man. ”

"Did you kiss?"

"What did you say!?"

Stan glared at Sam, "How could I kiss a man!?" ”

"Sorry......"

Sam hurriedly waved his hand, "I didn't mean that. ”

Odeya looked at Sam and asked nervously:

"Sam, what the hell are you talking about? Why can't I understand at all? ”

At this time, Rorschach replied for Sam:

"Have you ever heard the story of the "demon at the crossroads"? ”
