Chapter Thirty-Eight: I'm going to bury this thing
"Let me smell it, well, there is something special about it." The whistling dog sniffed as he headed straight for the basement.
The door to the basement opened, and the Howling Dog jumped straight in.
Yang Que walked behind, the steep steps were really not easy to walk, and it was easy for ordinary people to fall down in the dark.
"It's the most flavorful here." The whistling dog sniffed in the gap between the end of the staircase and the wall.
"Does it smell of blood?" Yang Que asked.
"It's not just the smell of blood." "There's also a special smell that belongs to the Headless Horseman." ”
"Shall we go to the Headless Horsemann, or shall we get rid of this beast first?" Yang Que asked.
"Look, maybe it's the same." The Howling Sky Dog jumped onto Yang Que's shoulder, "Let's go, let's find it first." ”
"Gone." Yang Que didn't stop, turned around and walked out of the basement.
When the door was opened, the three Daves saw a page of the book come out, and unlike before, there seemed to be a fluffy white thing on its shoulder.
By the moonlight, Dave and the others saw the hair ball clearly, it seemed to be a puppy?
There's a puppy in this house?
The powerful Page Spirit still likes puppies?
"Mr. One-Page Book, what is this?" Dave couldn't help but ask, "Did you find that Headless Horseman?" ”
"It's not here, I'm going to look for it." Yang Que did not answer Dave's previous words.
Fear comes from the unknown, and it's important to maintain a sense of mystery.
"Isn't it here? So where is it? Dave didn't dwell too much on the first issue, and replaced it with an important issue that mattered to their lives.
"I'm going to look for it, maybe you can show me the way."
Yang Que raised his hand slightly, and the pages of the mountains and seas suspended around him floated forward a little, and the area of the pages began to expand.
It became the size of a map hanging on the walls of some rooms.
The top view of the ink-style building also appears on the page, which is a map of the entire town.
On the map, a red dot is clearly visible.
The map unfolded before Dave's eyes.
In the moonlight, the three of Dave leaned over and stared at the map with their eyes squinted.
After a moment, Joel exclaimed, "This place, it seems to be near Joyce's house!" ”
As good friends, although the relationship is of the opposite sex and does not visit the house often, there is no doubt that Dave Joel and others know where Joyce's home is.
I think of Joyce saying that when he came out, there was no sound.
The three of them thought of a terrible scene at the same time!
Ignoring nothing else, Dave immediately took out his phone, opened the address book and began to contact Joyce.
A normal ringtone came from inside the earpiece, and after a while Joyce's voice came: "Hello, I'm not convenient to answer the phone right now, you can leave a message after a 'beep-'." ”
"Damn it!" Dave cursed in a low voice and looked at Yang Que.
"Lead the way, I hope you can run faster." Yang Que said.
You won't get lost if you have a map, but if someone leads the way, you can naturally go faster, at least you don't have to look at the map from time to time.
The three of them didn't say a word, they just ran away.
The night wind was whistling in his ears, and after running for a few hundred meters, Dave was a little tired and turned his head to look.
I saw the mysterious one-page book that I didn't know whether it was a person or a ghost, and followed them more than ten meters away.
It's different from the way they run.
The other leaned forward slightly, his hands at his sides, and floated forward in a ghostly manner.
This is the true marching posture of the mysterious "spirit".
Dave retracted his gaze and focused on running.
In the back, Yang Que stepped on the unicycle balance bike, following very easily, and the hem of the robe and the shadow of the night could completely cover the balance bike and prevent people from seeing the slightest flaw.
"You're a dog." The Howling Sky Dog lying on Yang Que's shoulder commented.
"Why, do you want me to run with them?" Yang Que said, "That would damage the force of a page of my book, here, I want to be mysterious and powerful." ”
"They won't be able to run for long." Howling Dog said.
Joyce's home wasn't too close to here, and he was sure to run out of stamina before he reached it.
Dave, who had the worst physical strength, gasping for breath and breathing disorders, obviously thought of this problem: "You don't have to be in such a hurry, I'll go to the park and ride, it's faster, you guys are behind...... Catch. ”
Joel and Billy, who were also half exhausted after running for a while, nodded.
It's good that their direction is not far from the park.
Back at the park entrance, Dave got on his little broken car and pedaled hard.
Yang Que accelerated to keep up, and under high-speed operation, he could hear the sound of the balance bike under his feet.
Fortunately, Dave's little broken car is not quiet, and it clanges from time to time when riding, and I don't know which part is damaged.
Dave, who was trying to ride his bike, didn't hear it, and didn't pay attention to the sound coming from behind him.
Otherwise, the high bar of a page of the book will probably be shattered.
"How's it going, is the taste approaching?" With the help of modern tools, it is easy to hurry, and Yang Que, who is not tired at all, naturally has enough leisure and leisure to chat with the roaring dog.
Oh, it's not a chat, it's a detective and his assistant discussing the case.
"It's very light, in fact, from the time we came out until now, I can smell it almost everywhere." Howling Dog said.
Simply using scent tracking naturally has drawbacks.
As is the case now, the Headless Horsemann has been active in this area.
Smell forms an area, not just a route.
It is only in the place where you stay that the smell is stronger, and it is detected by the Howling Dogs - it takes time to search.
Just like the search for alien beasts in the Book of Mountains and Seas, unless you happen to be around, otherwise, in most cases, it is a range, and a red dot will form when you enter this range.
"In that case, let's red dot first." Yang Que said.
Because of his cycling, Dave couldn't take the "other people's yard" shortcut - even if he didn't ride, it would be difficult to do so.
There are many people who have dogs in the town, especially after the murder a few years ago.
The more vicious or not-so-ferocious dogs don't care about people on the road and only bark once or twice once in a while, but as soon as you set foot in their territory, they will cause a wild bark.
Tonight, though, the watchdogs were unusually quiet, even as the jingle of Dave's car passed in front of the yard, and they didn't make a sound.
All this naturally stems from the roaring dog on Yang Que's shoulder.
"It's almost ......" Approaching Joyce's home, Dave gasped and slowed down, and said a word back.
Yang Que also slowed down: "Retreat." ”
"What?" Dave was stunned for a moment.
"The Headless Horseman, here." Yang Que smiled, and the pages of the mountains and seas on his side flew backwards and disappeared from Dave's sight.
For some reason, Dave felt that the page in front of him seemed to be suddenly shorter.
Before he had time to think about it, Dave's eyes widened suddenly, as he turned his gaze back to the front.
He saw the end of the road ahead, where few street lamps and moonlight were not shining, only a little "seeping" into the darkness.
A figure appeared, quickly approaching.
The headless body was covered with twisted armor, and the entire body was twisted.
The Headless Horsemann moves forward in an eerie manner, and its body is not fully upright.
Tilt from your waist to your left, forming a 60-degree angle to the ground.
The two arms were raised, or rather locked by armor, the upper arms remained parallel to the ground, and the forearms naturally drooped and swayed.
He also carried a mottled axe in his right hand.
Despite his strange posture, the Headless Horseman was so fast that Dave felt that it was too late to turn around and run away, so he abandoned the car and fled.
Rao didn't take two steps, but he still heard the whistling sound and wheezing from behind him.
Damn it! This guy doesn't have a head, what's wheezing?
The moment his scalp went numb, Dave thought it was the problem.
Perhaps, it was because at this moment, a powerful page of the book had already passed by him?
The feeling of stabbing in his back, the feeling of goosebumps all over his body disappeared, and Dave rushed forward for a while, staggered to a halt, and turned his head to look.
The Headless Horseman, who was already close at hand, was already twenty meters away.
It is rising from a street lamp that has been working for many years and is extremely dimly lit.
And in front of it, the black-robed master approached step by step.
Black shadows spread and shrouded the past.
From Dave's point of view, the terrifying Headless Horseman seemed to be being consumed by a greater evil spirit.
"I'm going to bury this thing."
Looking at the headless horseman in front of him, Yang Que said to the Howling Sky Dog.
