Chapter XXX Newspapers
Just then, the villager took out a newspaper and handed it to Faust.
"What is this?"
Faust looked at the newspaper and didn't understand what the villagers meant.
"The newspaper is about their family, but I really can't figure out why the author of this article likes the fact that the old man always buys cattle with some extremely old gold coins. Moreover, the old man is very disgusted with visitors, but they dare not resist or simply refuse to make people pay more and more attention......"
The two looked at the villagers and then turned to leave, although most of the details were exaggerated by the villagers, but there were many useful clues.
After returning to the room, Faust and Wang Feng began to study the newspaper.
The area had been conscripted before, but there was really no way to gather a sufficient number of young people, even to meet the minimum standards of the training camp, and the signs of serious decline in the area also attracted the attention of the government, so they sent several officials and medical experts to the field to study, and this newspaper probably recorded this incident.
The weekly magazine is full of images of the child's precociousness, the old man's black magic, the strange books that fill the shelves, the sealed second floor of the old farmhouse, the strange atmosphere that envelops the whole area, and the strange noises of the mountains.
The child was only about four and a half years old at the time, but he looked like a young man of fifteen, his lips and cheeks were already coarse black fuzz, and his voice was beginning to be hoarse.
Reporters and photographers went to the old man's house and noticed a stench that seemed to be pouring down from the sealed second floor.
"How old is that kid now?"
Although Wang Feng had seen that child unusually big before, he looked twice as strong as Chéng Rén.
Faust did not answer Wang Feng's question, because he was also a little curious.
But if I'm not mistaken, the old man's family's world is gradually submerged in the daily life of this sick community, and people must be accustomed to their strange way of life and ignore their crazy actions.
"Every once in a while, they light a fire at the top of the mountain......" Faust looked out the window at the top of the mountain, "Could the loud noise coming from the top of the mountain have anything to do with it......"
"There should be a connection...... I felt that the second floor of the madman was used to sacrifice the cows...... At first they sacrificed themselves. You've said before that those ancient evil gods will inspire human talents, maybe ......"
Wang Feng didn't say anything but felt a chill in his back, he didn't expect that the old man would treat himself as a sacrifice
He also understood that the boss's child was a product of humans and evil gods.
"I didn't go to that hill to see!"
"Hmm!"
If you want to solve the mystery of all this, you must know what secrets are hidden on the closed second floor.
The two of them didn't say much, and hurriedly prepared to walk towards the hill, and it took almost an hour for the two to reach the farmhouse, but the place had been extensively renovated, and the second floor had been sealed and completely changed, and judging from the discarded wood fragments, the old man knocked out all the partitions, and even demolished the attic floor, and made a space between the ground ceiling and the pointed roof, and even the large chimney in the center was also removed.
"Why don't you go over and have a look?"
Wang Feng looked at these waste timbers and was even more curious about the closed second floor.
"Forget it......" Faust hurriedly rejected Wang Feng's proposal: "The old man and the child are still inside...... But why didn't we see this farmhouse last time? ”
He looked at Wang Feng and felt a little strange.
And Wang Feng always felt as if he had seen this farmhouse somewhere, but he couldn't remember it.
"I always felt like I had been here...... But I'm not sure, this place gives me a sense of déjà vu. ”
Wang Feng frowned.
"I feel that way too......"
Faust's heart trembled, and he felt that something was wrong.
"You ...... What do you want to do here? ”
An extremely hoarse voice came from behind him, and Wang Feng and Faust hurriedly turned to look.
A huge figure was hidden in the darkness, and the monster in front of him was the boss's child, and the pink eyes seemed to have some magical power, making the bodies of the two of them tremble.
"This is not the place for you to be...... Go back to where you need to be! And forgetting all that you see......"
Wang Feng and Faust felt drowsy when they heard this voice.
Their bodies moved involuntarily and they walked down the mountain.
The huge figure looked at the two and smiled eerily.
The old man came over and looked at the huge figure with a look of joy and said, "My child, have you heard the cries of those nightingales?" It is your Father calling us, and it is calling my soul to bring me to the other side of eternal life, and the time is about to be ripe......"
"Is Father finally coming? We're going to give him some gifts
……”
The huge figure disappeared into the darkness.
The old man turned his head to look at the house behind him: "It needs a bigger place...... My child needs a bigger place, you grow up so fast, those guys will serve you well, and the door will be opened...... We too will enter the other side of eternal life and be remembered by the world......"
After saying this, the old man paused for a moment and looked at his daughter who had come from the woods.
"Be sure to feed him on time and pay attention to the amount of food...... Space is too limited to let that little guy grow too fast......"
His eyes began to lose focus, and the birdsong above him fell silent, and his scruffy daughter did not speak, but smiled.
Overhead, the sky was like an abyss, with an unsettling faint sound, and the sound was more like the sound of a frequency of waves or waves crashing on the shore, like the flat shore washed by the tide.
The birds began to chirp in a loud voice again, and more and more.
"Ah...... Ahhh Ah......h
The old man suddenly clutched his throat and began to scream, his face twisted together and fell to his knees......
"Oh my God...... I didn't expect it to ...... so soon."
The strange sounds in the mountains began to become more noisy, and the top of the mountain was burning with fires as always, and the birds began to chirp rhythmically.
"They're laughing......"
The corners of the old man's mouth began to rise, and the wound on his neck began to expand rapidly, and a trace of blood slowly flowed all over his body.
His daughter suddenly began to become strange when she saw this scene, and the woman hurriedly stepped forward and pulled out the old man: "I know a lot about him...... Now there are a lot of things, I don't know, I don't know what else this kid wants to do? ”
The old man looked at his daughter's face full of affection: "She and her father are becoming more and more like ......"
The trees around her began to twist, and the woman was twisted into a mess of flesh by the force, and she didn't even have time to scream.
Everything began to subside, and the birds hurried south.
The boy paid no attention to the movement outside, but sat in his room and studied the old man's old books.
Suddenly, he smiled and laughed in that hoarse voice: "That ugly woman is finally dead...... No one knows my secret anymore......"
A large door suddenly appeared in front of him, and next to that door were countless corpses.
