343 Truth

Dowton, Nick, and Peggy follow Potter back to the gas station.

On the way, Potter tells them that Jerold is not a native of the town and rarely comes to town, only when they are refueling.

However, it is said that Jerold used to be a drug dealer, but his hands and feet were not clean, so he fled to this town.

Potter's statement made Nick even more anxious, and after returning to the gas station, he did not enter the gas station with Dalton, but took out a pack of cigarettes from the car and walked to the side to swallow the clouds, as if this could suppress the anxiety in his heart.

Potter glanced at Nick and asked Dalton:

"Is your friend okay?"

"It's okay," Dalton shrugged, "don't bother with him, where's the phone?" ”

"Follow me."

Porter walks Dalton and Peggy into the gas station's office, where there is an old-fashioned phone on the desk.

Dowton hurriedly grabbed the phone and pressed "066" (Mexico police number).

After a while, the phone was connected.

"Hey, what's the matter?"

Listening to the voice, the other party seemed to be a middle-aged man.

"Officer," Dalton said hurriedly, "my friend is missing!" ”

"Where?"

"Ampalas Town."

"Okay, tell me what happened?"

Dalton hurriedly told the middle-aged police officer about Wade and Carly's disappearance.

"I see, we'll send someone over as soon as possible."

With that, the middle-aged officer hung up the phone.

Seeing Dalton put down the phone, Peggy hurriedly asked:

"How's it going?"

"Soon the police will be coming."

Dao Dun smiled slightly, and a big stone in his heart fell.

"Great!" Peggy clasped her hands together and prayed, "It's good if the police are here." ”

"yes, yes."

Dalton nodded, and the rest was left to the police.

At this moment, the sound of an engine came from outside.

Dowton and Peggy hurriedly walked out of the office, and through the glass window, he saw Nick driving out of the gas station in a station wagon.

Seeing Nick's actions, Dalton was shocked, and he knew that Nick was trying to find Carly.

Dalton hurried out of the gas station hall and shouted:

"Nick, come back! Come back! ”

But Nick didn't pay any attention to Dalton, and drove out of town on his own.

"Bastard!"

Doodon shook his head helplessly as he looked at the station wagon that was disappearing into the fork in the road.

"Oh my God," Peggy asked, running to Dalton's side, "why did Nick drive away on his own?" ”

"He's definitely going to find Carly!" Dalton said indignantly, "This idiot! Didn't know the police were coming soon? ”

"Isn't it dangerous for him to go to Carly alone?"

"Whatever," said Dalton, disdainfully, "if you like to be a hero, let him do it himself." ”

Peggy looked at Dalton and said dissatisfiedly:

"How can you say that about Carly's brother?"

"I'm not doing this for you!" Dalton hurriedly defended, "If it weren't for you, I would definitely have saved Wade, but I can't take you on an adventure, I have to protect you!" ”

"That's right......," Peggy was stunned, and she said ashamedly, "my dear, I misunderstood you, and I was not good. ”

"You......" Dao Dun glanced at her and said proudly, "You won't understand our man, this time it's just for you to make an exception, otherwise for Wade, I will not give up the sword mountain and the sea of fire." ”

"I know, I know!" Peggy hugged Dowton's arm, kissed him and said, "You're my superhero." ”

"Hey......

Dalton smiled, glad that Nick hadn't dragged him along to Wade and Carly, a place he didn't know and didn't want to risk for anyone else.

Potter walked out of the gas station and asked:

"Your friend drove away?"

"He probably went to the mountains to find Carly."

Dalton shrugged.

"Well...... Boeht asked, nodding, "one of your cars broke down, didn't you?" ”

"Yes."

Dalton told Potter about Wade's sedan model.

Potter thought for a moment and said:

"Oops, there's no stock in the station."

"It's okay, it's okay." Dalton hurriedly waved his hand, "It's not too late to wait for the police to come and find Wade." ”

"It's going to take a while for the police to come." Porter said, "I have a belt that fits the model, so why don't you go with me and get it, it's not too far." ”

Dowton looked at Peggy, nodded:

"Okay, go to your house and take off the belt."

"Let's go."

Potter smiled and turned to leave the gas station with Doodon and Peggy.

……

……

Town church.

Rorschach broke away from his stealth state, walked to the door of the church, pushed open the wooden door, and slipped sideways inside.

Prayers echoed in the chapel, and neither the priest standing at the altar nor the townspeople reacted to Rorschach's entry.

Rorschach walked down the red carpet towards the ceremony stage, and as he approached the stage, the townspeople on either side of the aisle still staring intently ahead.

Rorschach walked up to a townsman and bent down to take a closer look, it turned out that these townspeople were all wax figures, the skills of the makers were very deep, these wax figures were lifelike, and at first glance they were no different from real people.

Looking around, Rorschach could confirm that all the "people" in the church were wax figures, and then, behind the service table, he found a player from which the prayers were played.

Since it's all wax figures, why would Potter stop Nick from entering?

Rorschach stood in front of the priest, holding the Bible in one hand and pinching the pages in the other, his head bowed, staring at the wooden coffin, in which lay a long-haired man with a wax mask.

He frowned slightly, what kind of secret was hidden in this church?

Rorschach turned around and walked over to a wax figure in the shape of an "old gentleman" sitting in the first row, and he reached out and touched the skin on the back of his hand, which was very smooth to the touch.

He looked at the "young man" on the side, and like the wax figure of the "old gentleman", he found nothing but admiration for the skill of the maker.

But Rorschach knew it wouldn't be the case.

After thinking about it, Rorschach pulled out the military dagger from behind his waist and slid it lightly on the back of the "old gentleman's" hand.

The sharp blade cuts through the "skin" of the wax figure at once, and judging by the touch of the blade, there is still a filler under the "skin".

Rorschach swung his dagger and made another horizontal cut on the wound he had just made, and a cross wound was cut out by him.

At this moment, Rorschach faintly smelled a pungent smell that resembled formalin, and he narrowed his eyes, and the smell wafted from the wound on the back of the "old gentleman's" hand.

Do you still need formalin to make a wax figure?

Rorschach only knew that formalin was most commonly used to preserve specimens or corpses.

Don't......

Rorschach lifted the skin from the back of his hand with the tip of his knife, and saw a dark red carrion in front of him, and he immediately realized that under the wax shell was a corpse.

Without any hesitation, Rorschach raised his knife and cut off the arm of the "old gentleman" alive, and the arm fell to the ground, the rotten flesh was scattered, and a white bone was exposed at the incision.

Sure enough, it was a human corpse, Rorschach's heart sank, looking around, looking at these wax figures that looked like real people, he had a feeling that I was afraid that these people were made into wax figures when they were alive.

This town is indeed a fierce town.

And that Potter must have known the truth here, if not the culprit in all this, so he stopped Nick from entering the church.

Thinking of this, Rorschach knew that not only Isabella and they would be in danger, but also Nick.

Just as Rorschach was about to leave the church, the fingers of the long-haired man lying in the wooden coffin suddenly moved slightly.
