Chapter 18: Serial Deaths in Rosetown 18
By the time Dong Wusheng returned to where Jenny and Steve were, the conversation between the two seemed to be over. Steve's arm was wrapped around Jenny's shoulder, and the two sat side by side on a clean grass on the side of the road. Jenny looked a little depressed.
"Is the heart-to-heart session over?"
Dong Wusheng walked over and smiled. The bright red eyes are not as quiet and clear as in the daylight under the moonlight, and the shadows of the trees are reflected in them, which looks strange and weird.
Steve looked at the empty path behind Dong Wusheng and opened his mouth to say something.
"Are you looking for your friend?" he had already set off to find the Immortal City. ”
Hearing this, Steve was stunned and became anxious, "He left? Why did he leave first? Then what should we do? He hasn't told me where Immortal City is!"
"Ah, this doesn't matter," Dong Wusheng squatted down in front of the two of them and grabbed a handful of grass on the ground, "Steve, let me ask you, if there is no so-called Immortal City, you and Jenny can only go to an inaccessible place, and only the two of you live together, are you willing?"
"Just the two of us......?"
Steve looked at Jenny beside him and took her hand on his lap, "I...... I will do my best to take good care of her. ”
Jenny flipped her palm up and grabbed Steve's back, her young face full of hesitation and sadness, but still trying to smile, "We've died together, Steve...... In the future, we will live together well. ”
Seeing that the two only looked at each other's eyes, Dong Wusheng helplessly pulled the grass.
She had thought of putting Steve to the test, but now it seemed as if her existence was a little redundant?
"Alright, let's talk about what we have for the two of you, but let's leave as soon as possible. ”
Dong Wusheng stood up and patted the grass clippings on his body.
"Can't you go back and say hello to them?"
When she asked this, Jenny's eyes were even cautious, and she felt distressed when she saw Dong Wusheng.
But she just patted the girl on the shoulder and hung the bag that she had prepared long ago around the girl's neck.
"A little money, a little money. ”
Jenny hugged the heavy backpack in her hand, only to feel that her whole face was hot.
Westerners living in Rose Town are mostly white, and their skin is so white that it glows, and when it comes to blushing, it becomes a very interesting sight.
At least Dong Wusheng wanted to laugh a little when he looked at Jenny's flushed face at the moment.
Red from the forehead all the way to the collarbone, like a red-hot carbon head.
"Okay, if you have anything to say to your parents, I will convey it to you, I don't know what the professional ability of those two professionals is, it is too risky to let you go back to say goodbye in person, I can only wronged you, and if I have the opportunity in the future, I can also write a letter to my family." ”
I don't know if it's because I'm sad about parting, or because I am still moved by friends who are willing to stick knives in my ribs at the moment of distress, Jenny is now not only blushing and her neck is red, but her eyes are also red, and the tears are swirling in it and can't fall.
She opened her arms and hugged Dong Wusheng tightly. Dong Wusheng felt something warm touch his neck.
She just patted Jenny on the back and raised an eyebrow at Steve, who was standing behind, "Whoever cries is responsible for coaxing her." ”
As he spoke, he gently pushed Jenny into Steve's arms.
After watching the young lovers leave, Dong Wusheng returned to the mayor's house, lying motionless on the bed, not even blinking his eyes.
After Jenny is gone, there will only be more to deal with for her.
How to deal with the mayor and his wife is the first thing that needs to be solved.
If she had the chance, she wanted to tell the mayor and his wife the truth of the matter, so that they could know that her daughter was just forced to leave them and find a place to stay, but she knew too little about this organization that specialized in dealing with catastrophic events. What do they rely on to find the calamity in the crowd, what method will they use to deal with it after they are caught, and if the calamity escapes, will they be wiped out, she still doesn't know these things, and letting the mayor and his wife know the truth now will only make the situation more complicated and unpredictable, so for the sake of insurance, she will first make up a reason to fool the past, and wait until later to find an opportunity to tell them the truth.
Now, it's up to Madara to bring her some information.
Dong Wusheng waited until four or five o'clock in the morning, and finally heard someone knock lightly on the door twice, she hurriedly got up, stepped on the wooden floor with her bare feet, and ran to open the door.
"Why don't you wear shoes?"
As soon as the door opened, Madara's gaze stayed on Dong Wusheng's bare feet, he frowned, and without hesitation, he directly picked up Dong Wusheng and walked into the house.
"Wait ......"
Dong Wusheng was picked up before she had time to defend herself, and when her body was already suspended in the air, she looked at Madara's calm face and didn't know what to explain.
This is simply for her to explain to a stone what is called etiquette, righteousness and shame, it is too difficult, and Sage Confucius can't do it in the world.
Madara: "...... What's wrong?"
Dong Wusheng covered his face, "It's nothing...... Don't just hug me in the future. ”
Madara looked confused, "Why?"
Dong Wusheng gritted his teeth, "Don't ask why!"
Madara: "...... Good. ”
Madara placed Dong Wusheng on the bed and pulled himself over the chair in front of the desk and sat down. Dong Wusheng took a deep breath and decided not to be like a fool.
"Tell me about what you've learned tonight. ”
Dong Wusheng tried to put what had just happened behind him and shifted his attention to serious things.
"Hmm...... I spent the night with them to get a general idea of their investigation, and they went through all the places where the deaths had taken place so far, and then marked them on the map, which surrounded the mayor's house in a roughly circular circle, and they seemed to believe that the calamity should be among the survivors of the previous accidents and the mayor's family. ”
Ah, that's a solution, and the effect of calamity on people does have to do with distance.
Dong Wusheng suddenly realized.
Although she didn't know exactly why and how the calamity affected ordinary people, she seemed to have come to the conclusion that it wouldn't affect people as long as they were about a kilometer away.
That's why Dong Wusheng asked Steve and Jenny to find a place that was uninhabited.
Once he got down to business, Madara's reliability made Dong Wusheng very appreciative, and the episode just now was quickly revealed.
"I see, then, did anyone have an accident in town last night?"
Madara nodded, his brows locked, "The accident was one of the two people who came to investigate, the girl who was a little shorter was on the balcony last night, the balcony guardrail suddenly broke, and the little daughter of the family fell from the upstairs, she also fell from the balcony in order to save the girl, both of them are fine, it was the short girl who broke her leg and is now in the clinic." ”
