The two men in front of Norman were still quite far away from him, and Norman could see that they were sitting cross-legged on a high wall, and something seemed to be steaming in the middle.

Even if there was still a distance, he was sure that he couldn't run away, and with his physical fitness, whether he ran back the same way or went down the high wall, it was unlikely that he would be able to beat an adult on the other side.

Anyway, tonight is the time for him to ship, and "Mom" also knows his intention to escape, and even being able to climb the high wall today obviously has Isabella's tacit approval.

Norman had already seen that "Mom" was trying to make him desperate, and by the way, he told Emma and Ray about this desperate situation. It is also unlikely that he will ship directly without letting him go back to see the last one.

So whoever is on the other side doesn't have much impact on Norman himself, so it's better to go up and get in touch and see if there is any additional information to be obtained.

Stiffly, Norman tried to appear as natural as possible, and walked towards the two opposites in an unnatural scene.

Just when he raised his left hand and wanted to say hello, the boy among the two opposite, or rather the boy, pointed to the steaming container in the middle and spoke heartily:

"Yo, there's a hot pot, do you want to have some?"

“…… Belch...... What? ”

I didn't play the cards according to the rhythm, and I messed up Norman's well-written draft all at once, and I almost forgot the self-introduction and reason I wanted.

And if he was not mistaken, under this small pot, as a source of heating, was releasing a burning flame, a red, unknown kind of gem.

Is there any stone that can be burned other than coal? Igniting diamonds?

"Hot pot, although the ingredients are still mainly fast food, they are all dried ingredients soaked in water, more like spicy hot ...... Want to eat a little together?

Don't worry about the ghosts, this place above the fence will keep them out of sight from patrolling. ”

Neither side has yet to introduce themselves, and Norman doesn't have time to ask, because he already knows an important piece of information from the other's words.

The boy on the other side, who is about the same age as himself, knows "ghosts" and is specially avoiding ghosts.

Although it is not ruled out that he is a collaborator of the "ghost" side to sneak out, still, the probability that the other party is a ghost opponent has skyrocketed.

"Uh, this, what are you talking about? What game are you playing? ”

Norman pretended not to know anything, approached weakly, and slowly sat down beside the two, ignoring the gentle gaze of the woman in green and the cat-eared woman, and asked the boy casually.

He felt that young teenagers who took the initiative to speak were more likely to reveal information inadvertently.

Although he himself is only 11 years old.

The boy laughed, pressed the spoon to the edge of the pot, glanced at Norman, and then returned his gaze to the steaming pot, as if the meal that was about to be cooked was much more interesting than Norman's.

"Of course it's the ones with horns, lots of eyes, and cannibals. There are a group of gates in the center and front of the building, and there are also inside the forest outside.

However, the forest is full of beast-level guys with low intelligence.

As a foodie who dares to climb the fence, you should have known it a long time ago. ”

At the boy's words, Norman couldn't help but shudder.

The other party knows more than himself, but he doesn't know his identity and doesn't know if he can be a partner.

If they are in league with the ghosts......

"You ......"

Just as Norman was trying to make it clear about the language, the cat lady in green said to the boy with a little reproach:

"Master, you're scaring him."

Then, he gently stretched out a hand and gently stroked Norman's white hair, so that Norman suddenly got a trace of warmth from the tension.

"Don't worry, I'm here and I'll save you. All children are the treasures of the gods, and if you dare to harm children in front of me, whether you are a human or a ghost, swear to Artemis, my god, that I will never let them go!

It's just a ghost, I'm going to shoot it!" ”

The young man also smiled and looked away from the pot, and said with a little wickedness:

"Don't talk about it, Archer, I've seen people of the same age, and I've said a few casual words.

Let's introduce myself first.

My name is Roy, Roy Undsworth, twelve years old.

This is my companion, you can call her Atalanta or Archer.

We came to rescue the children in Grace Field. ”

………………

Before dinner, near the end of the children's afternoon playtime, Isabella counted the numbers and found that only Norman had not returned.

Ray and Emma stared nervously at Isabella's every move, while "Mom" Isabella casually took out her pocket watch-style receiver to see the highlights displayed on it.

Then he turned off the receiver very indifferently, turned around with a smile, and said in the direction of the grove:

"Welcome back, Norman."

Having climbed a high wall and seen a desperate cliff as a child, she naturally knew that there was no way out.

Sure enough, Norman's eyes were blank and he walked back with a calm face.

Ray and Emma didn't know what was going on, and secretly gritted their teeth, not daring to talk.

Even if both of them were about to bite their gums and bleed, they couldn't speak at this time.

In the evening, it was time for Norman to ship, and only the rest time after dinner could communicate.

After finally surviving the torturous dinner, and after arriving at Emma's dormitory, and making sure that no one was watching, Ray couldn't wait to grab Norman by the collar and asked:

"What the hell are you trying to do!"

Emma also added worriedly:

"Even now, you have to run away!"

Norman was finally able to remove his disguise at this time and smiled:

"Because I've found help, Emma, Ray, we have a way to get away together! Atalanta, are you there? ”

From where Norman was uninhabited, a woman's gentle voice came.

"I'm here."

A burst of golden particles converged in a no-man's land, and a green figure appeared, none other than Atalanta.

"You...... You...... Who are you? ”

can keep not being scared to scream, even if the two children have superb acting skills and are not surprised.

This supernatural phenomenon, even after seeing the man-eating ghosts, was too much for Emma and Ray to expect.

"My name is Atalanta, you can call me Archer, and my companions and I have come to rescue all the children on the farm.

Don't worry, I won't let the children get hurt in any way! ”

Ray stared at Atalanta, who had cat ears (actually lion ears) and a tail, and he couldn't turn his head around.

"Bow ...... Bow and arrow...... Atalanta...... That Greek ...... You guys...... She ...... just now, "Ray, who reads a lot, knows Atalanta's name."

Norman, who had never seen Ray incoherent, was amused for the first time:

"Ray, Emma, calm down.

The ghosts are all there, and it's not surprising that anything strange is there.

Miss Atalanta and her companions come to the rescue of the Eaters, and I happen to bump into them on the wall.

There's not much time now, and when I'm 'shipped', Atalanta will follow, find the person behind 'Mommy', and then launch a surprise attack, and then there will be a big operation.

I don't have time to explain now, it's time for me to 'ship' in a while, now listen to my arrangement first, and you can wait for 'Mom' to leave with me......"
