Chapter 617: Curse
Night falls.
【Misato Farm】
All the residents of the farm returned to their homes before sunset, without exception...... The farm became silent.
Bob, the convenience store owner who was in charge of receiving Han Dong and his party today, walked with extremely happy steps when he went home, humming a little song in his mouth.
Bob is a bachelor in his forties and has an elderly mother at home.
Because today, he has received several big customers from outside, and he has also gotten a lot of money to spend, and he has scraped together enough money...... He was going to leave tonight and take his mother away from the farm that made him feel sick.
"Mon, there are a few rich college students in the store today! Borrowing Old John's house, I earned enough for the last $100! Also, there is a girl in this group of college students who is really beautiful. ”
Bob is in his forties in appearance, and his actual mental age may also be in his twenties.
Crunch!
When the wooden door is pushed open.
The ground in the house is covered with straw, and there is not even much place to stay.
Bob was accustomed to such situations and made his way to his mother's bedroom.
Lying on the bed was a 'scarecrow', covered with straw and barely visible flesh...... Removing the layers of straw on his head, he could faintly see two bloodshot eyes.
"It seems like a little more than yesterday."
Bob pulls out a simple weeder and clears the straw from his mother's body.
It took two hours of busy work to shave the straw all over my body...... However, the mother herself is already in a state of 'humanoid medium', and the pores of her whole body are stretched to the thickness of a little finger, and the inside is full of straw stumps.
It won't be long before it grows again.
The body was shriveled and bloodless, and it seemed as if the nutrients had been drained of straw.
The mother opened her mouth to say something, but found that her mouth was full of straw and she could not speak at all.
"Mom, you don't have to continue to suffer, I've scraped together enough money today! Get out of here now, and your 'sickness' will slowly disappear as you leave the farm. ”
Bob placed his mother in a homemade wheelchair and trapped her body with a leash so that she would not fall during the push.
Quickly pushed his mother downstairs.
A fully fueled minivan (pickup) has been parked downstairs.
Just as Bob was trying to move his mother to the passenger seat.
Perhaps due to the stimulation of the night, the straw in the mother's pores began to grow rapidly, and some of the sharp straw pierced directly into Bob's back.
Wow......
It only punctured a little bit of skin, and it wasn't serious.
But because the straw on his mother's body was growing at a rate visible to the naked eye, it was difficult for Bob to put it on the passenger seat.
In desperation.
I had to push my mother into the roofless cargo box at the back...... The wheelchair was secured with several pieces of hemp rope and the mother was transported off the farm by carrying the cargo.
Return to the driver's seat and turn the car key to ignition.
Bob unexpectedly caught a glimpse of straw growing on the back of his own hand...... It seems to have been infected by my mother.
The obsession that drove him to leave the farm intensified.
Step on the gas pedal and drive down the road he knows best.
It only takes half an hour to leave the farm completely.
During the drive, Bob would also check the backpack in the passenger seat from time to time to make sure it was in a 'bulging' state.
It was filled with banknotes.
Part of it was the living money he earned, and part of it was the dead man's money that Bob had scavenged from visiting some of the missing families.
He just wanted to get away from the farm and live in other parts of Maine.
Due to the mass disappearances that Maine is currently experiencing, housing prices are horrifyingly low...... This kind of money is enough for him to survive.
Halfway through the drive, Bob looked into the rear compartment through the rearview mirror...... I accidentally found that my mother was missing.
Squeak squeak~~
Step on the gas pedal to death.
Bob immediately got out of the car to check on the situation, only to find that his mother, who was covered in straw, was still tied to the back compartment and there was nothing wrong.
"Strange...... Why can't I see it in the rearview mirror? ”
When Bob returns to the driver's seat.
However, it was found that there was an extra 'guest' in the passenger seat, a child wearing a straw hood and a red cloth coat, only the size of a six-year-old child.
In the child's hand is also holding a corn cob lollipop.
Uncanny.
Bob has experienced so many strange things during his time on the farm...... He had also been preparing for a long time for tonight's escape from the farm.
Directly from the lower end of the steering wheel, take out a homemade modified truncated shotgun, and aim it at a child!
Syllable!
The impact of the shotgun squirted the child directly out of the car, and the small steel balls were all smashed into the strange child's body.
"Die! Scarecrow! ”
After a curse, Bob stepped on the gas pedal and continued to move on.
With only ten minutes left to drive away from the farm, a terrifying scarecrow stood on the road a hundred meters away from the headlights.
Normal human height.
But beneath the straw skin was a rusty metal torso.
The grappling hook bends its feet into the ground, allowing its body to stand on the ground......
In his right hand, wrapped in a straw cloth bag, he dragged an eerie rusty iron sickle.
The other, deformed arm obtained with sutures, was dragged to the ground.
However, on the shoulders of this terrifying scarecrow, the little boy who had just been attacked by Bob was sitting, still licking the corn cob lollipop in his hand.
"Kill you."
Bob is still very confident in his newly purchased pickup, no matter how terrifying the scarecrow in his way is, it is only the size of an ordinary person.
Hit the throttle with all your might, and get up to 80 yards.
Looks like he's about to crash into the scarecrow.
Sharp objects cut in, and the body is disconnected directly from the middle...... Bob's mother in the back compartment was cut off together, and the straw flew wildly.
The pickup truck separated left and right and crashed into the cornfields on either side.
Bob, who flies out of the driver's seat, is caught in the air by the scarecrow with his arms (machinery, pork, bird eyes, and straw wrappings) sewn together...... As his neck was stuck, his mouth was completely open.
The scarecrow also opened its mouth wide.
Straw full of black engine oil, docking with Bob.
Completely blotted in a short period of time...... Not just the vitality, but also Bob's recent memories.
In this memory, the Scarecrow also captures an interesting group of people, a group of young people who can resist the power of the curse to a great extent, and come to its territory.
Crunch crunch......
The scarecrow moved its rusty iron body and walked slowly back to the center of the farm.
The child sitting on it was still licking the lollipop - the child was wearing a straw mask, and the filamentous tongue was sticking out from between the slits of the mask and licking the surface of the lollipop.
"The inhabitants of the Valley, Sam and its shell, descend!"
