Chapter 114: Hunting
I rented a car, and along the way, the tall, thin man offered to take my car to the killing town. I didn't refuse, also because I was a little curious. On the way, we chatted for a while, and I knew this person's name, Zhao Yisong. He and Cheng Haidong were high school classmates, and the relationship between the two was not very close, but Zhao Yisong was a little familiar with everyone.
We talked about Yu Yunchen's current husband, Cedric Hunter, an Englishman who immigrated here three years ago and is a doctor by profession. Speaking of this, Zhao Yisong didn't know why he was a little inexplicably excited, and said that they were peers. Zhao Yisong doesn't know much about Cedric, and Bai Yi doesn't like to talk to me, so there is only so much information he has.
It wasn't until I entered the town that something I found interesting and caught my attention.
It was a street sign, and there were two pieces, one new and one old, one standing by the roadside and the other falling in the dirt by the roadside.
The old street sign had a huge bloody fork painted with red paint, and the name of the original town was ticked off and replaced with Slaughter, killing.
It was cut down and half-buried in the dirt, next to a new sign, Hunter
I find it interesting that it happens to be Cedric's last name, which translates to hunter.
From a killing town, to a hunting town?
What's the difference?
"Cheng Haidong, you've been staring at it for a long time, and the car broke down? Still not leaving?? ”
At Bai Yi's impatient urging, I drove into the town. Although I had Zhao Yisong's explanation before, the picture that entered my eyes was still extremely desolate, and it didn't look like a place where people lived at all. There is dilapidated and dusty everywhere, and there are even a few sections of the road that have been blocked from the rain, and there are blood stains left from many years ago.
I don't know if it's my delusion, but I can always smell the smell of blood in the air.
In my ears, I can even faintly hear some voices, like the wails and cries of the undead, which seem to be far away, but they are getting closer......
But probably really an illusion.
Because after the music appeared, that strange feeling was numbed.
The music came from the street ahead, which was eerily clean compared to before, and one of the open entrances to the villa was the source of the music. I can't hear what kind of music it is, I just think the rhythm is light and concise, every time the shot falls, it is just right, it seems to have been premeditated and carefully calculated, just like the crossbow arrow shot by a hunter, the moment it hits the bull's-eye!
The car was parked in front of the villa, and in the courtyard was a gathering of Westerners, guests, hosts, wine and food.
Someone appeared to greet them, three people, two men and one woman, although I didn't know Yu Yunchen, but I knew that the woman was her. There is only one Asian face here, and among the three, there is only one woman.
At first, she only noticed Zhao Yisong and Bai Yi, but immediately, her eyes drifted to the car, and she just happened to meet my gaze in the driver's seat.
At that moment, the smile on her face gradually froze, becoming confused and strange.
should have recognized Cheng Haidong's face.
But she probably didn't think this face should be in this place. It's not the resistance and disgust that Bai Yi renders, it's just that it just feels strange.
But it is also reasonable, who would remember the events of ten years ago so clearly.
After a few polite words, the Western man who was extremely close to Yu Yunchen looked into the car and asked Zhao Yisong, probably a question about who we are. Zhao Yisong explained with a smile, with three points of embarrassment in his smile, and then beckoned to me, I didn't plan to get out of the car, but I found that the Western man took the initiative to walk towards me.
So, I had to open the door.
I am similar to Cheng Haidong, and I can be regarded as tall in the general population, but in the face of this person, he is directly half a head shorter, he is about two meters tall, and the shoulder and arm muscles are developed, and he should exercise regularly, I can smell a wild smell from his body, which makes me realize that his fitness seems to be more than just the credit of the gym.
"Hello, I...... Cedric. "He speaks Chinese, but he is not very proficient and can communicate and introduce himself simply. This man seems to be very friendly, but he is not scary with his strong body, and his smile gives people the feeling of bathing in the sun.
"Sa...... Cheng Haidong. Actually, we can speak English. "I shook his hand and could feel that he was deliberately loosening the handshake.
With his posture, even if he shakes hands casually, ordinary people can probably feel absolute power from it.
For a man, it's an uncomfortable sense of oppression, he understands it, and he's very restrained about himself. Adding these to his Chinese and his warm smile, I think this person is using his language, expressions, and body movements to send me a signal that he is very safe and reliable.
"English? If it's convenient for you, of course you can. ”
I don't know how Zhao Yisong introduced me, but he has always been very friendly to me and invited me to their party. According to him, when he and Yu Yunchen got married, many friends were unable to attend because of the date, and this recent party was just to make up for regrets. Most of the guests in the courtyard of the villa are friends of the two of them, and they don't know each other much, so I don't have too much psychological pressure.
I glanced inside, because my attention was all focused on Cedric, and I never paid much attention to his guests, but this time I found that most of the people in the courtyard were also looking in my direction, and I don't know if it was an illusion, I always felt that the eyes of the people here were not just curious.
They all seemed to have a strange smell on their bodies.
A "stench" that I hate.
Speaking of this "smell", in fact, I have not mentioned it......
Zhao Yisong and Bai Yi also have that "taste".
I had an inexplicable curiosity about the guests in this villa, and I was going to go in to see what was going on, but I was about to step in, but I found an extremely burly figure, taller than Cedric, and a fat man like a hill, staring at Jing Ye stupidly, he grabbed a piece of bloody beef with his big hands that had piled up several layers of fat and stuffed it into his mouth, making a rough and disgusting chewing sound, saliva continued to flow down the corners of his mouth, but his eyes were always locked on Jing Ye's body, from top to bottom, extremely obscene.
"Actually, we have some other things, forget it today, if we have the opportunity in the future, we will come to visit."
I knew what I meant, and Cedric didn't force us to stay, and went to take care of the rest of his guests.
After leaving, we drove towards the center of the town, and Jingye asked me, "Brother, did you want to go in just now?" "Although I have just learned the human mind, this little girl knows my mind very well.
"It's a little curious." I didn't deny it.
"Then why don't you go?" Silent Night Curious Face.
Yao Qianwen answered, "There's a pervert in there, just that mountain of meat, staring straight at you, huh...... Now that I think about it, I'm hairy. It's a bit of that, the perverted feeling of being in bad spirits, or the kind that kills people! ”
