The passage of time is unstoppable, unavoidable, and everything in the world must continue to exist under its rules, even day and night, when the night gradually passes and midnight slowly comes.

In the early hours of the morning, 2:40 a.m., West Street, the small town of Crosso.

"Martha, Martha, where are you? Where the hell are you? ”

"Frank! He Fei! Chen Hailong: Where are you? I heard an answer! ”

In the street, the dead silence and oppressive environment was broken by a series of men's shouts, mixed with gusts of wind, mixed with fallen leaves, under the maple tree, Smith's expression was bitter and his body trembled slightly, and the night wind made him feel cold when he was only wearing a cool short shirt, but compared to his wife, these Smiths could barely bear the cold.

Yes, Smith has been searching in the town for a long time, moving for a long time, or since his wife Martha ran away for no reason in the evening, he has launched a pursuit, launched a search, at the beginning, the bald man was also full of confidence, believing that he could catch his wife quickly, the reason is very simple, don't look at himself now that he is middle-aged, his physical fitness has declined, but anyway, as a man, it is not a problem for him to catch up with his wife, unless the other party is an athlete, not to mention that his wife is not an athlete, just an ordinary woman whose physical fitness is worse than his own... …

Can......

Then, something that surprised Smith and even surprised him happened.

A few hours ago, when the sun was about to set, he chased his wife and turned an alley and lost the other party!

Martha was the first to turn the corner of the alley, only to disappear from view for two seconds, but when Smith then ran to the street, he found that his wife was gone!

Disappear like the world evaporating, disappearing into the invisible in the blink of an eye.

And what's even more strange is that except for his wife Martha, who suddenly turned around, the two oriental students who had been following him in his impression were also completely gone.

There was only himself left on the street, and the original four-person pursuit team was the only one left in an instant.

Seeing this scene, Smith panicked, he could neither understand what was going on nor understand what had just happened, but this strange experience made him subconsciously think of the encounter in the forest path during the day, which was also inexplicable and incomprehensible, the only difference was that this time it was not the road exit that disappeared, but the person disappeared.

The more Smith thought about it, the more frightened he became, and he began to pray, praying to God and hoping for salvation, but the prayers were to no avail, but made him even more worried about the safety of his wife, after all, he loved Martha, and the woman who had been with him for half of his life.

Worry makes the man anxious, and the anxiety makes Smith more and more uneasy, of course, uneasiness is restlessness, anxiety is anxiety, Smith is not a stupid person, during this period, he also had the idea to return to the house where everyone had stayed to check, but after returning, he found that the house was already empty, not to mention that He Fei's two international students did not come back, and even the tour guide Frank, who had been in the house in his memory, was gone.

Seeing the result, Smith resumed his search and spent the next few hours searching the town and shouting for the next few hours.

Hula, hula.

In the night, the wheezing was drowned out by the wind, and Smith, who had finished shouting, was tired, panting, sweat all over his forehead, and was now resting under a maple tree, although resting, his eyes were still scanning his surroundings, scanning the surrounding environment, hoping to find something.

Deep down, I prayed all the time.

(O God Almighty!) Please tell me what is going on, and even if you don't tell me, please have mercy on me to find Martha, please, please...... Well? ）

With the sound of gusts of wind, I don't know when, at this moment, just as the bald man was begging God, his eyes that shifted from time to time unintentionally saw something!

With the help of the hazy moonlight, in the field of vision, I saw a black thing in the street clearing more than ten meters away on the right, it seemed that something was lying on the ground, staring at it carefully, and further found that the black shadow was faintly with some human outlines!

(Could it be...... ）

Sure enough, when he found out about the situation, especially when it was generally confirmed that the black shadow was still alone, the exhausted Smithton was overjoyed, and he couldn't take a break, so he immediately got up and ran forward, running towards the humanoid black shadow on the right, and with the excitement in his heart, he ran in front of the other party in a few seconds.

As expected, as the distance shortened rapidly, after arriving at the other party's side, Smith immediately affirmed that the other party was indeed a person, but because the night was too dark, although it was close at hand, the field of vision could only see the other party's body shape, judging from the body type, the person should not be his wife Martha, but more like a man's body, and he was currently lying on his back on the ground.

Seeing that it was not his wife, Smith was slightly disappointed, and a little surprised......

It's okay if the other party is a man, but why is the figure in front of me a little familiar, and even a sense of familiarity for a long time?

Unconsciously, driven by this sense of doubt, and in order to find the truth as soon as possible and see the other party's appearance as soon as possible, Smith thought of something, he reached into his pocket and took out his mobile phone from his pocket.

Then, he turned on the phone's lighting, and when the phone lit up, he shone the light under him, on the ground, and on the man he knew so well.

In then ......

He found the answer, and he saw everything.

He did see an acquaintance, a familiar person who could not be acquainted.

Under the light, familiar eyes, familiar eyebrows, familiar facial features and baldness, and that slightly bloated body due to hair, plus a very standard blue shirt......

The man lying on the ground is Smith!

It's himself!

At this moment, this 'Smith', who was exactly like himself all over his body, was lying motionless on the street with his eyes wide open, his chest was blood-red, and when he looked closely, he further saw that there was a short-handled axe stuck in his chest!!
