Chapter 29: Murder in the Dark Forest

After school that day, Sheriff Hope came to see No. 11 again, because the identity problem was not resolved, so No. 11 could not show up for the time being, and could only stay at home every day, and when school was out in the evening, Lin Xiao or Will would teach her some knowledge.

I have to say that No. 11, who has developed superpowers, has a fast learning ability, and soon catches up with Will's learning progress and can start learning high school knowledge.

The school system in the United States is different from that in China, with six years of primary school, two years of junior high school, and four years of high school.

That is to say, the current knowledge reserve of No. 11 is about equivalent to that of a second-year junior high school student, who can learn the knowledge points of the third year of junior high school.

In the past, Jonathan's grades were not very good, and Lin Xiao was also half a top student in his previous life, not to mention that the knowledge points of American middle and high school are indeed much simpler than those of Huaxia, so his grades have improved by leaps and bounds, and he has almost become a real top student.

At the dinner table, Sheriff Hope talks about recent events in the town and inadvertently mentions a murder in the dark woods behind Joey's former house.

"Jim, we're eating, can you stop talking about that, they're all kids."

Joey said dissatisfied, saying that the number of times Sheriff Hope came to eat has increased dramatically recently, and he is about to use this place as a cafeteria.

"Joey, don't you know that Jonathan and Number 11 are both superpowers?

This case is very unusual, the injuries of the deceased are very strange, neither gunshot wounds nor ordinary weapons, but were killed by some special way, I doubt that it is related to the monsters in the reverse world. ”

Hearing Sheriff Hope's words, the atmosphere on the table changed suddenly, Joey looked very nervous, and No. 11 and Lin Xiao were eager to try, with an interested look, urging him to hurry up.

Joey no longer stops it, she also knows that the passage connecting to the reverse world has not been closed, and the monsters in the reverse world may not come back, if they attack Will or Jonathan again, that is the last thing she wants to see.

Seeing that no one objected, Sergeant Hope continued:

"The deceased died in a horrific state, as if his limbs had been torn off with great force, and his torso was mutilated, as if he had been eaten by some kind of carnivore.

However, according to our investigation, there are no large carnivores in the dark forest, so I would like to ask you if you have encountered any beasts or the like when you live nearby, except for monsters that are against the world. ”

As soon as the words fell, a table of people involuntarily put down the knives and forks in their hands, looked at the roast chicken on the table, their faces were pale, and they had an urge to vomit.

Sergeant Hope's face was full of embarrassment, he was well-informed, so he naturally didn't care about this, but he forgot that they were all ordinary people, how could he bear such a hot description.

"No, Sheriff Hope, Will and I have explored the dark jungle many times, and at most there are only small animals such as rabbits and foxes, and large carnivores, you should be alerted."

Lin Xiao replied, last time the Mind Flayer clone was destroyed, it was impossible to come back so soon to make trouble, and now that they have moved here, if the Heart Flayer wants to retaliate, it will also come to them for trouble, there is no reason to hunt over there.

"In this way, large carnivores can be excluded, and the scope of the target will be narrowed, and the possibility of being a monster against the world cannot be ruled out.

Jonathan, you've been paying attention lately, and I have a hunch that the town will not be at peace, and there will likely be another monster attack. ”

Sergeant Hope said solemnly, thinking that the last incident was over, but he didn't expect it to make waves again so soon.

Joey's face turned pale, and he looked at Will nervously, what happened last time made him suffer a lot, and there are still shadows to this day, if that kind of thing happens again, Will will definitely not be able to bear it.

"No, in my guess, it's probably not a monster against the world, the Mind Flayer was repelled by us, it is impossible for him to come back so soon to make trouble, and with its intelligence, there is no reason to startle the snake, but it attracts our attention."

Lin Xiao knows a lot about the Mind Flayer, and in the third season, this guy hides in the shadows, uses tricks to hide from the world, and finally synthesizes a giant monster before he breaks out.

Now that its doppelganger has been destroyed, it lacks a medium to make trouble, unless it pulls people into the reverse world again, plants the demon seed, and then uses the power of the demon seed to enter the real world.

"No, the Mind Flayer didn't come back, my wound didn't hurt."

Will suddenly spoke, and No. 11 looked left and right, and replied:

"It's not the Mind Flayer, I've recently used my ability to explore the reverse world, and I haven't found any trace of the Mind Flayer. Not only the Mind Flayer, but there are no monsters in the town, otherwise they can't escape my perception. ”

Under Lin Xiao's guidance, No. 11 has been using his abilities frequently recently, and he has become very proficient in the use of abilities.

"Well, it seems that the town hasn't been quiet lately, don't run around after school, just go home, you know?"

Sheriff Hope reminded, Will nodded, all this time was with Jonathan, with his protection, not worried about accidents.

The next day, Lin Xiao drove Will to school and came to the class, and many classmates talked about it, as if they were talking about transfer students.

Lin Xiao inherited Jonathan's character, and was silent in the class, spending most of his time in his seat, too lazy to make friends with his classmates.

"Hi Jonathan, are you interested in making some extra money tonight?"

A boy with a lot of freckles on his face walks over to say hello, this is Jonathan's only friend in the class, Eric, who works at a fast food restaurant together.

"Forget it, last time I earned extra money, my brother disappeared, my mother scolded me, you still don't look for me to substitute in the future, I want to pick up Will."

Lin Xiao refused, on the one hand, it was to take care of Will, and on the other hand, the little money from his part-time job was really not in his eyes.

Brother is also a person with extraordinary strength, part-time job? It's impossible to work part-time in this life.

"OK, I'll find someone else. By the way, I heard that no, a transfer student came over today, I heard that he is very handsome, and he is still a member of the county basketball team, I don't know why, he will be transferred to our small place. ”

Eric sat down in the back seat and said with great interest.

Lin Xiao shook his head, this guy is hopeless, what kind of handsome guy do you care about, do you want to come out of the closet?

"I'm not interested in boys, this kind of thing is Steve's headache, and I can't fight with us."

The two were talking, and the class bell rang and the grade counselor walked in with a boy.

This boy is very handsome, with a height of 1.9 meters, delicate and delicate facial features, as soft as a girl; A pair of blue eyes, as clear as the sea, and long scattered blond hair, immediately caused the girls in the class to scream.

"Hello, ladies and gentlemen, this is the new student in our class, Stefan Karen, everyone applauds and welcomes."

The girls stood up and applauded, eager to strangle their table mates and let him sit beside them.

This handsome guy was expressionless, and waved his hand listlessly, which was regarded as a greeting, and his cold temperament detonated the girl's voice again.

"Well, strange, this man has ······ on him"

Lin Xiao leaned back in the chair and looked at the other party secretly, just now, he suddenly felt that the magic in his body had moved, as if he was stimulated by the outside world.

Standing in front of the stage, Stefan Karen looked like an arrow, stabbing Lin Xiao in the eyes, I don't know if it was an illusion, he seemed to see a trace of pale red blood in the other party's eyes.
