Jingle bell~

The station bell rings and the bus is about to depart.

Li Zu took two quick steps and jumped on the bus, which stopped as it was about to move.

"Where?" The old driver of the bus was a Mediterranean Caucasian, forty or fifty years old, with a beard that hid his whole mouth.

He had a toothpick in his mouth, like a toothpick stuck in a haystack, shaking as he spoke.

In the pocket of the plaid shirt, two cigarette rolls are placed diagonally.

"Boston" he had to go to Boston for a transfer.

In the last period of this world, the only one who could interest him was Arkham.

"No," the old driver gritted his toothpick and said, "You can transfer to a car, it's not far from Boston."

"Uh-huh~" Li Zu had no choice but to accept this suggestion at the moment.

Before the bus could move, another person stepped on.

The mysterious woman carrying a tight axe wrapped in bandages, her dress was a little strange, and the old driver couldn't help but look at it twice.

"Where are you going?"

The "next stop" woman gave the money and sat at the back far from Li Zu.

The old driver was also reluctant to talk to a woman as tall as a tower, so he collected the money and started the bus.

Jingle bell~

The bus departed on a rocky path, but the road ahead was strangely quiet.

Li Zu, who had exhausted his physical strength, fell asleep in a daze.

When I opened my eyes again, it was already dusk.

The rickety bus finally arrived.

Now I'm thinking about transferring to Boston.

……

small town,

The population is not large.

The houses are mostly one-story buildings, close to the sea, and most of the houses are designed with spires.

The houses are mainly painted white, and some special posters will be put up at the entrance of individual houses.

Posters of famous singers and movie stars,

Church slogans,

Or maybe it's the duty of a "yin and yang" family.

Everything seemed so peaceful, so "normal".

The inn at the corner of the intersection is a two-story building, and this is the only place where it is a two-story building.

Faded wall skins, huge shadows obscuring the old trees on the road...... The atmosphere of the inn is ancient and simple.

However, at this time, the old inn has been renovated, the entrance is bustling, and there are even people building a bonfire out of wood, presumably there will be a celebration party in the evening.

There weren't many pedestrians on the road, but fortunately they weren't as xenophobic as the residents of Oakmont, and Li Zu and the mysterious woman, two outsiders, swaggered past without attracting much attention.

Station ticket counters.

"Where are you going?" Li Zu turned his head to the woman and asked.

The people he can be interested in are not normal people.

"......" the woman did not answer.

Li Zu seemed to have anticipated the other party's attitude, shrugged his shoulders and leaned into the ticket window: "Madam, thank you for the bus to Boston." ”

Perhaps the only people who can be so gentlemanly among madmen are him and the clown.

The ticket booth is cramped.

I can let go of a table, a tray of snacks, and a woman.

The conductor is a middle-aged woman in a green skirt with a cold and hard attitude.

"No," she raised her eyelids, glanced at Li Zu's face that was obviously not a local, and said, "It's only in three days, and there won't be any cars in the last two days."

"Why don't you go to Boston?" Li Zu asked again, and pulled out a smile.

Well, how "cute" his smile was, but in exchange for only the disgust of the female conductor.

A peaceful town that feels like stepping into a Disney fairy tale.

Li Zu, who has just experienced the shipwreck of Oakmont and the sea, will not believe that there is a story of "comedy ending" in this world, and even if there is a story, it must be a tragic ending.

This kind of "utopian world" built on a terrifying world is sick, which makes Li Zu feel uncomfortable.

"No matter where you go, you don't have a car," she replied, "and the last three days have been the town's celebrations, and the drivers are famous drunkards who don't leave their champagne!" ”

When it came to the celebration, she was not half happy.

It's like stating a pedantic habit that should have been abandoned a long time ago.

"It seems that we are temporarily trapped here" Li Zu turned around and shrugged at the woman behind him: "Do you want to experience a carnival party here?" Speaking of, I actually know a few people who are particularly fond of~"

"There is still a car in the next town," the conductor took the initiative to say, she didn't seem to want Li Zu, a foreigner, to stay here.

Or maybe it's simply because she's not as cold as she seems.

"How far?" The mysterious woman asked.

"About 20 miles? Head east...... "The conductor was a little unsure, she never seemed to have left the town, and she was only hearsay about the existence of the town next door.

"Thank you" After a cold thank-you, the mysterious woman turned and walked east.

Li Zu couldn't stand the utopian perfect town, and he was able to leave, and his pace was much faster.

The two left the town and headed east.

The woman ignored Li Zu's deliberate companionship along the way, and Li Zu didn't seem to have the intention of taking the initiative to speak, only occasionally laughing uncontrollably.

It gets dark very quickly.

On the side of the road, the grass was gently blown by the wind, and the leaves rustled.

Carrying a big axe, the woman's physical strength is also consumed quickly.

She rested on the side of the road, and for the first time, she took the initiative to speak: "Have you seen those things?" ”

"Those things?" Li Zu stirred up his cane, and small round holes were pierced into the ground to dissipate the boredom in his heart.

"I've seen it in a lot of people," the woman's face was half covered, and she couldn't see her expression clearly, but I could guess what she meant.

"The human brain can't withstand the ...... of that knowledge" She found a reason for Li Zu's crazy laughter, and it seemed to be a well-known reason.

"What if you over-embrace that knowledge?"

"Crazy!" She looked at Li Zu and said very seriously: "And then there is ...... Die, you're the longest living wretch I've ever seen."

“…… Hehehehaha! Li Zu couldn't help laughing: "I'm sorry, I didn't want to laugh, I just ...... Uncontrollable! ”

"The best psychiatrist in Europe can't cure this disease," the woman continued, as she seemed to have long been surprised by it, and Li Zu was not the first crazy laughing weirdo she had ever seen.

"I have researched ancient texts, and more than a hundred years ago, there was a church."

She didn't hide it, and told what she saw: "The appearance and disappearance of that church are very mysterious, and I can only find out from the lost documents that the church once created a miraculous potion that can cure all diseases in the world!" ”

When she said that she could cure all diseases, her eyes were unusually determined.

She was convinced of the existence of this elixir.

"A potion that heals everything?" Li Zu's voice brightened a little.

He doesn't hate laughing, but damn crazy laughter can sometimes really ruin people's moods.

"It's time to go," the woman stood up with her steel spear, the moonlight leading the way, and the leaves of the trees being thrown farther and farther behind.

There are too many mysteries in women.

For example, she didn't have a specific destination, but she was in a hurry.

For example, she can wield a giant axe with the strength of a giant axe, and her body is as slender as that of Victoria's Secret models.

Like her...... Not like the height of a normal person.
