Time, 21:15, in the small town of Crosso, an abandoned house.

Hula, hula.

The night breeze blew through the broken doors and windows of the room, perhaps because the owner of the house was in the tailoring business earlier, although the house has been abandoned for a long time, but from the scattered strips of broken cloth can still see a little nickname, and there is also a dusty old copper mirror in the corner of the wall, it is obvious that there were no mirrors in that era, as a substitute, some reflective metal has become the best substitute.

In the middle of the living room, a bonfire burns slowly on the floor, the light of the fire dispels the darkness, reflects all kinds of reflections, and also adds a little warmth to the room.

Around the campfire, a few empty instant noodle bags and some bread crumbs were scattered, and two young people sat around on the left and right.

Touching his stomach, Chen Hailong, who felt that he was not even half full, swallowed his saliva unconsciously, and stared directly at the opposite side, staring at the unfinished half of the bread in He Fei's hand.

Sure enough, He Fei, who noticed that the fat man was staring at the food in his hand and knew Chen Hailong very well, immediately stared at him and warned: "Chen Hailong, what do you want to do?" It's useless to see, this is the food in total, and it's been divided in half before! ”

As soon as these words came out, seeing that the other party guessed what was on his mind, Chen Hailong couldn't help but smile embarrassedly, and at the same time defended himself: "Hehe, look at what you said, yes, the food is indeed half of a person, but you also know that with my body and food, what is a mere piece of bread and a bag of noodles enough for?" ”

"Then I don't care, that's all for food anyway, I don't have anything to eat here, I don't believe you can come and turn it over."

first poured a basin of cold water on the other party mercilessly, and then swallowed the bread under Chen Hailong's gaze, perhaps to prove that this was true, after doing all this, He Fei also stretched out his finger and pointed to the blue backpack beside him that had nothing but clothes.

He Fei put on a frank appearance, but for Chen Hailong, who had already turned over the backpacks of the two of them countless times, how could he not know that what the other party said was true? After confirming that the food has been completely eaten, he waved his hand to signal that it was not necessary, and the obese young man changed the topic with great interest, and pointed to the military dagger in the other party's right hand while raising his hand and said curiously: "By the way, I forgot to ask before, why do you have this thing in your kid's bag?" You're not a soldier, why are you bringing this? ”

That's right, the reason why the two of them were able to quickly get a large number of branches to light the fire for warmth, in addition to the fact that there are many maple trees growing in the town, which is conducive to local materials, another reason is also due to He Fei's dagger, although the dagger is not an axe that is easy to chop, but it is still easy to get a large number of branches under the hard swing of Xueliang's blade, Chen Hailong, who was hungry at the beginning, didn't care, until the food was eaten up, and he didn't really care about this military dagger when he was idle.

And at this moment, He Fei is still cutting down branches and putting them into the fire.

Chen Hailong was a little curious, but as soon as the words fell, He Fei shook his head and smiled bitterly: "What kind of military dagger, this is a replica, I bought it when I was visiting the night market a week ago, at first I just looked at it and didn't plan to buy it, but the stall owner directly gave me half the price, I saw that the price was not expensive, it was only a dozen yuan, and I bought it as soon as my brain was hot, and when I went back to school, I realized that this thing was actually open!" Depend on! ”

"It turned out to be an imitation, I thought it was ...... Well, but imitations are imitations, this thing is really sharp, not weaker than the real thing, I can't imagine that it was really a murder weapon before, otherwise how could the stall owner sell it to you for more than ten yuan? ”

As soon as he heard that it was an imitation, Chen Hailong not only did not lose interest but pretended to analyze the dagger's past and present life, He Fei was too lazy to take care of him, he still took care of himself and cut the branches, seeing that the other party ignored it, the obese young man who felt bored did not continue, but looked back at the window under the prompting of some thought, it was pitch black outside the window, the moonlight was weak, the night wind swept the street, and occasionally there were bursts of falling leaves flying.

Xu is night scene outside the window aroused the long-suppressed uneasiness in his heart, shivered, and didn't look back, as for He Fei, after eating food, he also fell back into thinking, thinking about the disappearance of Mr. and Mrs. Smith a few hours ago, and even thinking about everything that happened during the day.

I don't know if it was a day of experience that some kind of guess was confirmed, or if I calmed down and thought for a long time to solve part of the mystery, in silence, looking at the branches in my hand and feeling the warmth of the bonfire, He Fei stopped moving, just staring at the bonfire without speaking, not moving, on the surface it seemed to be in a daze, but in fact, a series of unprecedented astonishing speculations had already sprung up in his mind.

(First of all, it can be determined that the supernatural mission is real, and there is something incredible in this town, let's take it as a mantis for the time being, if the mantis really exists, then it is logical that the three of Smith had an encounter during the day and why they were able to come to the town, after all, I often heard the old man say that the mantis have a lot of incredible abilities, and it is the best proof that they can never escape from the forest, if this is the case, Martha's sudden fear of escaping earlier and the subsequent strange disappearance of the Smiths should also be the work of the mantises, but ...... ）

(That was only speculation throughout...... How did they make the two disappear? Or is the problem not the Smiths themselves? And the masked murderer I've never seen before...... ）

At the same time, He Fei was pondering in place, and on the other side, Chen Hailong, who had been bored for a long time, did not disturb him, but glanced around, seeing that he seemed to be planning to give himself a place to sleep, after all, the night was long, and He Fei also said that he didn't want to leave the town if he didn't stay for two days.

It's just that......

"Ahh

Suddenly, Chen Hailong, who was looking left and right, sneezed, the sound was very loud, and he was startled for a while, seeing his friend sneezing suddenly, he stopped thinking, out of concern, He Fei subconsciously raised his head and asked, "What's wrong Hailong?" ”

Seeing He Fei asking, Chen Hailong himself was also a little puzzled, after all, his body was here, although he was not as strong as a cow, but his fat was much thicker than that of ordinary people, and it was not winter at present, even if it was cold, it would not be his turn, not to mention that there was a bonfire in front of him, so it was true, I never thought that just now, I was inexplicably shrouded in a chill.

The obese young man, who couldn't figure out the reason, didn't think much about it, just shook his head and replied, "No, it's nothing, it's just a little cold all of a sudden." ”

After that, his body couldn't help but tremble.

(Cold?) ）

The unreasonable performance of the fat man was completely seen by He Fei, because he has always paid attention to details, Chen Hailong himself may not care too much, but He Fei noticed something unusual.

For example, I don't feel cold when I have less fat, how can I be far fatter than myself Chen Hailong ......

Based on this thought, for some reason, Chen Hailong's voice fell, and He Fei, who was puzzled, suddenly looked around the room, and his eyes inevitably swept to the right side, to the front, and to the worn bronze mirror in the corner.

"I'm going to pee and run two laps around the door."

Xu is really unable to resist this inexplicable cold, and maybe the bonfire can't dispel the cold, when He Fei glanced at the room, he put down a sentence, and Chen Hailong, who was getting colder and colder, got up from the ground and tried to go out to warm himself by exercising, but ......

But as soon as he got up, he was about to lift his legs and take a step, but he found ......

Opposite the campfire, He Fei didn't move, no, strictly speaking, he was stunned, stunned in place, not talking, not moving, not doing anything.

At present, He Fei was sitting motionless, his head looking to the right, staring at the worn bronze mirror on the right side for a long time, and he froze on the spot as if he had been immobilized.

Not only that, but if you look closely at your friends' expressions, you can see more incomprehensible places.

At this moment, I saw that the young man's eyes were wide open, his face was pale, and after a few seconds, his body trembled......
