The few people who had recovered from the tension breathed a sigh of relief, although the plan made in advance was completely useless, but the final result was good, the three strange crows were all wiped out, and no one was harmed.

Mason took advantage of the night to go out to take a look, the thick fog around him had not yet dissipated, and several people were worried that there were crows that had not yet appeared, so they did not dare to be careless, except for Luke, who was too sleepy because of too much spiritual energy, the other people took turns holding guns to keep vigil as usual, and spent the first peaceful night in a few days.

Early the next morning, while still indulging in a sweet dream, Luke was suddenly awakened by a cheering voice, and the fog that had been hanging around the farm began to dissipate and become thin. After a while, the fog completely disappeared, and a police car ran over the wet dirt and stopped at the gate of the farm. Jones and another cop got out of the car, pointed their guns inside the warehouse, and shouted, "Hey, old Mason, is that you?" ”

Mason replied loudly, "Jones, it's me, and we're here with the Refitt family." ”

Jones recognized a few people on the farm from a distance, walked over with his colleagues, hesitated for a moment, and finally spoke: "Mason, I came with your son Luke Jr. yesterday, and we lost contact after entering the fog exploration, and I searched around the fog for a long time last night and still didn't find any trace of him. ”

Mason stood up to his words and replied, "Luke was at the farm yesterday, and we had a thrilling night last night, he helped a lot, he was tired, and he is still resting. ”

As he spoke, Luke, who had been woken up, had already walked out of the warehouse door.

Seeing Luke, who had been missing overnight, reappear, Jones let go of the anxiety and self-blame in his heart, walked up to him, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Hey, boy, how did you get in yesterday." Many of my good lads and I entered the fog and came out of nowhere. You disappeared yesterday and I thought you were captured by aliens. ”

Luke knew that Officer Jones cared about him, and his heart warmed, but he didn't want to expose his transcendence, and said vaguely: "Maybe it's because my parents are here, we have a deep blood connection, so I won't get lost in the fog." ”

Mason and Lady Lillian laughed heartily when they heard this.

Later, Mason concealed the peculiarities of the crows and told Officer Jones about the fact that he had been trapped on the farm for the past few days and had been attacked by wild beasts and birds, and he did not know how the fog appeared and how it dissipated.

Officer Jones, who had barely slept all night, understood the situation a little and returned to Cheng County with his subordinates to rest.

On the other side, Luke grabbed Mason, frowned and said, "I don't think this matter is completely over yet, there should be some things that have not been resolved." ”

Although after killing all three crows, the fog cleared and everyone on the farm was free to leave, Luke always felt that the fog was not brought by the crows, there should be other monsters hiding in the shadows, and those crows were just puppets that were pushed down on the surface.

And the monsters that have not yet appeared should be the real ones behind the ability to summon dense fog. At the same time, its frontal combat ability should not be very strong, so after the crows used for battle have been eliminated, there is no choice but to disperse the fog and let everyone leave.

Luke's reasoning is simple, after he killed three crows, Goldfinger did not react, and his experience points did not change, and the crows were probably not individual monsters, but only part of a monster, or a manipulated puppet.

Mason already knew that Luke was extraordinary, and at this moment, he heard Luke say that the incident was not over, and subconsciously believed his words. He hurried in the direction of his broken pickup truck and wanted to drive to chase Jones.

Lukla stopped him and said, "When it comes to supernatural powers, the police don't do much, in fact, I want you to leave the farm with your mother and Refit, and I'll check it myself." ”

Hearing his son say that he had to face the possible dangers alone, Mason directly refused: "No, Luke, I can't let you face monsters alone." ”

Luke played with Winchester and attached the psionic energy again, showing his father, "You saw it last night, I'm no ordinary kid anymore. I need to check the farm myself, and if there is no danger you will come back, and if there is any danger, you may become a drag on me if you stay here. ”

Encumber...... Mason's impulsive emotions were extinguished, and he thought calmly for a while, convincing himself to admit that his son had grown up and no longer needed his own protection, but could protect himself in turn and become an adult who could take charge of himself.

After convincing Mason, Luke handed over the others and explained the situation. Several people communicated the follow-up details, and although Mason and Lilian agreed to leave temporarily, they firmly opposed going directly to Cheng County to take refuge, and at most waited near the farm.

Luke thought that this would basically ensure their safety, so both sides took a step back, and Mason and the rest of the people got into the car and left the area of the fog before, watching from afar on the county road.

After the group left, Luke grabbed his shotgun and began patrolling the surrounding farmland, looking for anything out of the ordinary.

After the thick fog, the farm was silent, and there was not a single sound of birds and mosquitoes.

Luke cautiously observes his surroundings when suddenly, an eerie-looking scarecrow catches his eye. It was placed in a corner of the field, with several hemp ropes wrapped around it, as if it had been tied. The clothes on the scarecrow look very old, and there are some strange symbols on them.

Luke observed the scarecrow from afar, and as the distance gradually closed, he could vaguely feel a faint surge of energy on the scarecrow. The identification ability is touched, and a translucent information box appears:

[Scarecrow]:

The ordinary scarecrow used on the farm to intimidate and drive away sparrows has undergone a strange transformation after accidentally absorbing a wisp of abyssal breath, possessing self-awareness, humanoid intelligence, and strange abilities.

【Skills】

[Expelling the Mist]: The ability of ordinary scarecrows to expel sparrows, after being transformed into the abyss, can summon a dense burst of mist, injecting the idea of "leaving" into the consciousness of the creature entering the mist, causing it to automatically leave the range of the mist.

[Dread Crow]: Ordinary scarecrows disguised as humans to intimidate birds, and after being transformed into an abyss, they can transform ordinary crows into dreaded crows. By absorbing fear emotions, the number and intensity of the fear crow is increased. Dreaded crows are free to maneuver and share vision.
