The sun is gradually setting in the west, as ever, under the passage of time unconsciously into the end stage, the houses, trees are also in the gradual westward sunlight to outline a long thin shadow, adding a few different beauty to the already dead and quiet town, mixed with the cold and silent breeze, mixed with the flying leaves, as if something is brewing, and it seems to imply something.

Time, 17:05, the small town of Crosso.

In the living room, as the light outside the window quietly weakened, as the depressing atmosphere gradually thickened, next to the wall, He Fei stared at the oil painting again, and was standing in front of this oil painting that was taller than himself, staring carefully, although the college student's body was motionless, his eyes moved frequently, concentrating on observing the content of the painting, not letting go of any details, his pupils scanned back and forth, his serious appearance can be said to be no less than that of antique appraisal experts, at this time, if he was given a magnifying glass, the young man would not hesitate to stick his eyes to it.

Looking at the face of the woman in the painting, observing the body chains, scanning the background of the painting, the fine lines, the borders, and even the paper on which the painting can be checked, all the places that can be checked have not been let go by He Fei, yes, He Fei is searching, linking the wall text and the oil painting, so as to try to find clues from the painting, to find the place that represents both 'home' and life.

Time passed minute by minute, the sun was further tilting westward, and He Fei's face became more and more ugly, more and more bitter, and finally developed into despair!

Because......

Nothing, nothing was found!

After more than ten minutes of searching and observation to no avail, especially when it was confirmed that he couldn't see anything, He Fei was stunned, his eyes left the portrait, and then he sat on the ground with his butt paralyzed.

He muttered to himself: "How can this be, how can this be......

Glancing at the sun in the west outside the window, at this moment, an irrepressible thick despair enveloped his body, He Fei's face was as dead as ashes, and the futile search made him on the verge of losing control, if it weren't for the only trace of reason in his heart that still warned him to stay as calm as possible, presumably the young man would have held his head and shouted and vented at this time, but ......

It is precisely because of the existence of the last trace of reason that He Fei did not give up!

On the surface, the young man sitting on the ground seems to be decadent and pessimistic, but in fact, what is hidden under the desperate gray face is still the non-stop brain operation and absolutely rational analytical thinking!

(If there is nothing wrong with the oil painting itself, does that mean that the conjecture that the life path is related to the oil painting is wrong?) It's also not right, after all, this point of view is the result of combining all the clues, unless the wall information is false or deliberately misleading, otherwise this is the most logical analysis result, so, will the message be fake? ）

Shaking his head, He Fei denied the possibility of misleading, and still didn't talk about who left the wall information, just from a realistic point of view, it is obvious that the so-called false misleading is not necessary at all, after all, even if there is no such line of information, he He Fei is already in a desperate situation of death, anyway, he will die, what is the point of one more misleading false information?

The possibility of removing the information is false, and soon, another thought came to the minds of young people.

That's ......

(Since the information on the wall is true, the information is deliberately hidden behind the portrait, and my personal speculation is flawless, how can I explain the inability to find anything in the painting?) Could it be ...... The search is in the wrong direction! ）

(Huh!?) ）

Thinking of this, somehow, next to the oil painting, like a lightning bolt crossed his mind and seemed to be suddenly swept by an electric current, He Fei, who was still bowing his head and contemplating just now, suddenly changed, his expression was solemn, his eyebrows were slightly raised, he got up on the ground, and started to hang the oil painting back on the wall.

After completing the above seemingly meaningless or even redundant work, He Fei took a few steps back, retreated to a position about three or four meters away from the oil painting, and then, with his eyes wide open, re-observed the oil painting, silently gazing at the content of the painting.

No one knows what happened to the young man, the only thing he knows or the only thing he can find out is that this time, as his vision re-examined, after a while, He Fei, who was originally dignified, changed his face in an instant! The eyes that were already wide open were further widened to the limit, and even the pupils were rapidly switching between sudden contraction and dilation!

(Could it be...... No, it can't be, it's ...... Is this really possible? Impossible, absolutely impossible, it seems that I guessed wrong. ）

"Woo!"

It is often said that accidents often come suddenly, just as college students were staring at the oil screen and hesitating in horror, suddenly, a sharp howl full of horror came into his ears, which frightened He Fei, who had long been accustomed to the silent atmosphere, shook his body on the spot, instinctively turned his body, and before he could react, a clearer woman's cry was also followed.

"Help! Who can save me? Woo woo ”

The cry, clearly echoing in the living room through the doors and windows, echoed in the ears, sounding obviously not far from here, and somewhat familiar, as if it had been heard somewhere.

(Huh?) This is...... She's still alive!? ）

Yes, if He Fei was still panicked and confused because of the subversion of his world view when he first arrived in the town, then, after nearly dying again and again, although He Fei is not bold, his calmness is really much stronger than before, and after hearing the identity of the owner of the voice and confirming that the other party is likely to be nearby, he glanced at the time of his mobile phone, He Fei moved, and without saying a word, he rushed out of the living room door and rushed into the street.

Dadada!

And the reason why He Fei dared to run around without any worries was very simple, the reason was that he had already known that he would not be in danger at this moment, at least not in danger of death, although there was obviously a terrible female moth hidden in the town, but the female moth could not kill people during the day, and could not slaughter humans in a sunny place, it was still afternoon, and there was still an hour before the sun set, that is to say, as long as the night did not really fall, the female moth would never be able to attack herself.

Getting back to the point, He Fei's movements were not unpleasant, as he pushed open the door, as he ran into the street, and after a little look, the college students found the source of the sound for the first time.

"Woooooooooooo

In the field of vision, I saw about 100 meters away on the right side of the street, there was a European and American woman in blue casual clothes crying and running, the woman was frightened and tired, crying, staggering body forced to run, and now running straight forward along the street, towards her own position.

That's, Martha!

It was Smith's wife, Martha, who was also the woman who disappeared with Smith last night!

Oddly enough......

The woman is obviously running away, and she looks back from time to time during the run, and every time she turns back, the woman will look frightened, as if there is something chasing behind her, but when you look closely, you will find that there is nothing behind the woman, at least in her own eyes, the leaves are flying in the empty streets, and there is not even a mouse, and the woman is crying and running away when no one is chasing!?
