After getting the news he wanted from the mouth of the front desk, a look of understanding appeared in Lei Chan's eyes. After thinking about it, he picked up the phone and dialed a phone number, and it didn't take long for the phone to go through.

"Hello, is this Father Morin..."

...

After a night of silence, the next morning, Lei Chan knocked on Alice's door.

I thought that this sloppy woman would still sleep in bed, but she quickly opened the door and it was already cleaned up.

"Where are you going today?" It was Alice, who seemed to be very tired after returning from the abandoned house.

Lei Chan casually patted the equipment on his body and said, "Let's split up for the time being, since there will be a door destruction incident every twelve years, then there must be some clues." Let's ask around, a harmonious family suddenly broke out into a violent quarrel, such a person should pay attention to it. I went to check the local county records to see if there was any other information about the woman in red. ”

Alice didn't seem to be dissatisfied with Lei Chan's arrangement, and the two went their separate ways. It's just that what Alice didn't know was that after Lei Chan separated from her, she came to the abandoned house alone again.

Twenty minutes later, Lei Chan came out of the abandoned house, seemed to understand something, and hurriedly found a phone booth and called again.

...

There are two ends of the story, and Alice's luck is not good. According to the information provided by Lei Chan, the events that have occurred over the years have basically revolved around one place, that is, the old corn field in the past, and the vicinity of the current celebration venue.

But when Alice knocked on the doors of three houses one after another, she never waited for someone to knock on the door, as if something had gone out. After walking around the neighborhood a few times, Alice finally realized that something was wrong, because it was so quiet.

You must know that today is the day of the celebration, even if it is once every two years, and there are not many people coming, but it will not be so quiet. The whole town seemed to fall into dead silence! Thinking of this, Alice hurriedly ran along the main road of Corn Town towards the main venue, and the more she ran, the more frightened she became.

Along the way, there are all kinds of decorations, and the dolls of the celebration are placed on the ground, and there are patterns of corn everywhere, but they are always empty. The corn seemed to be laughing at Alice, which made Alice feel very uncomfortable. She knew that she was most likely trapped in the realm of some resentful spirit, and everything in front of her was most likely an illusion.

She pulled out the revolver from her waist and looked cautiously around the empty surroundings, but she didn't notice that the sky was getting darker a little. Stayed where and defended cautiously, but the minutes passed and nothing happened. But Alice was very calm, and she began to think back to what had happened today, trying to find out when she had been dragged into the realm of the wraith.

But after recalling it carefully, I remembered that the strangeness was not actually when I knocked on the door of the three houses, but from the beginning. After parting ways with Lei Chan, she followed the main road to a few nearby houses, and the streets were already empty.

Alice thought that it was just because it was too early and the people in the town hadn't gotten up yet, but now that she thinks about it, most of the people in this town make a living by growing corn, so why don't they go out at this time.

She thought about it carefully, except for the fact that she had seen a front desk last night, she hadn't seen anyone else since this morning, so it was very likely that Lei Chan had the same experience as herself. She remembered that Lei Chan had said that she was going to check the local county records, and that thing was only stored in the mayor's office, which was near the celebration venue.

Alice finally decided to join up with Lei Chan first, maybe the two of them would have a way to escape from this strange realm.

After making up her mind, Alice walked along the main road to the main venue of the corn festival. Along the way, I found that all kinds of vendors had already been set up, and a huge corn sculpture was hanging in the middle of the venue. It's just that Alice always felt that the lower end of the corn sculpture seemed to be a little red.

Soon, she walked through the entire venue to the mayor's office. Again, the place was empty, which made her more and more uneasy, it was so weird, so quiet that it was terrifying. It was already a little dark, Alice looked at the open door, and the big grinning tiger girl still gritted her teeth and walked in cautiously with a revolver.

...

After Lei Chan walked out of the hospital, he looked at the sky and found that it was almost dark.

"Although this town may not seem big, it is still quite far away!" Lei Chan said to himself, but the 'Olivia' on his shoulder understood that he was talking to himself.

"What do you want to know?" Olivia said that she had long been accustomed to Lei Chan's statement of turning a corner.

Lei Chan hurriedly got into a car, and after saying his destination, he sat in the back seat and looked at the scenery outside the window, as if he was in a daze. But in my heart, I thought: (Olivia, don't you have any comments or suggestions about what I saw in the basement and the second floor of the ruined house?) ）

As soon as 'Olivia' heard it, she knew that this thing was going to ask her about information again. Although he was very impatient to be regarded as an encyclopedia, he lazily leaned on Lei Chan's shoulder and said, "Yes, first of all, didn't your conjecture have been confirmed just now?" Second, what you saw in the basement, I think there's only one kind of monster that would be so disgusting, and that's..."

...

Today was the day of the town's corn celebration, and Mary, as usual, woke up early in the morning and started all kinds of busyness. Cook, clean up a change of clothes, and change into a fairly clean dress for little Linda. After everything was packed, her husband Green had already changed his clothes and was ready to go.

The two walked to the door talking and laughing, ready to take little Linda to the venue for a stroll first, the quarrel the day before yesterday had long been forgotten by the two.

Before going out, Green suddenly touched the pocket of his jacket, and then muttered: "Mary, you wait for me, my wallet is on it, I'll go get it." As he spoke, he touched little Linda's head, turned around and walked into the house.

Mary squatted down to wipe her daughter's face, laughing softly at Green's carelessness, and both of them smiled pleasantly. But the next second, Mary's eyes were attracted by a woman, a woman in a white dress covered in blood, standing at the door of his utility room.

How to describe it?

Mary only thinks that this woman standing in the door of her utility room... It's very abstract, isn't it? The facial features look very weird, not at all like a normal person, more like a deformity!

Little Linda was attracted by her mother's gaze, and when she turned around and saw the woman, she was startled and hid behind her mother. Mary was very unhappy that her daughter was frightened.

So many times Mary was also very fierce, and she yelled, "Hey! Who are you, get out of there! In her mind, it might have been someone who had gone missing from a nearby center for people with disabilities.

But when the woman heard Mary's voice, she actually showed a strange smile. Not... Maybe it's more appropriate to say that it's a scary and weird smile, and I turned around and walked into the utility room!

Mary left little Linda where she was and called out to Green a few times, but received no response. She picked up the iron fork that had been set aside and walked towards the utility room.

The utility room was dark and filled with a fishy, rotting smell. This made Mary strange because she had just tidied up the utility room yesterday. She pressed the switch on the light on the wall, and the light flickered a few times, finally illuminating the dark utility room.

Mary glanced around, and it was clear to her that the strange woman was gone. Her tense nerves finally breathed a sigh of relief, and when she turned her head, she saw a strange smile actually appear in front of her, and only a voice sounded in her ears: "Eat——! ”

...

Green hurriedly came out of the house and found that her daughter was standing alone outside the house, so she asked strangely, "Linda, where did Mom go?" ”

"I'm here!" Mary's voice came from the utility room, and then Mary walked out of it, "I'll put something in there, it's too dirty inside, let's go!" He smiled at Green as he spoke.

Green glanced strangely at Mary, who was walking in front, and always felt a little strange, but he couldn't tell what was strange, and he didn't even notice that his daughter almost didn't dare to look at her mother, but just grabbed her trouser leg firmly.

...
