Located in the center of town, the Pisriver Police Station is a small mall-like two-story building.

When Dean and his team arrived, they found that the door of the police station was locked from the inside, and the windows surrounded by iron railings were filled with dazzling lights and a piercing "thud".

"Gunshots?"

Dean swept God's perspective, not far from the entrance, in the hall, three men and women dressed as police officers were engaged in a fierce shootout, tables and chairs were erected everywhere like shields, full of bullet holes, sawdust and glass slag flying in all directions.

The two young officers were hidden behind desks in the hall, bloodied but not too badly injured under the protection of body armor.

The last middle-aged man with a mustache, wearing the director's uniform, and a righteous face leaned sideways behind the wall leading to the second floor like a crab, erected his revolver, and shouted at the two in a hoarse voice.

"Bunnies, put down your guns and raise your hands in surrender. I pledge with the honor of Director Reduin Noor that I will put you in a cage for only two days to reflect on the past, and then I will let you go back to work. ”

The black-haired male officer spat on the ground, "What a nerve, old thing, it's you who should put down the gun!" ”

The heroic policewoman poked her head out from under the table, her eyes bloodshot and warned sharply, "Assaulting the police is a felony, don't make a mistake again and again." ”

Bang!

She was answered by a bullet that grazed the tip of her ear, and the man who claimed to be Nur fired two shots in succession, almost missing the woman's head, "Crazy like a fool on the street?" If you continue to resist, I can only grant you death on behalf of God and justice! ”

But Noor's warning landed, and the sound of rapid breathing and shooting all disappeared, and the hall suddenly became dead silent.

Noor realized something was wrong, and took a breathless look - two young officers were lying behind their desks, most of their bodies exposed, unconscious.

"What's the situation, obviously didn't shoot? Could it be excessive blood loss? ”

A strong sense of surprise welled up in Noor's heart, and then there was a slight click in his ears to open the door, which was automatically pushed open by the locked police station door.

Dean and his party strode into view.

"Stop, don't move!" Noor took a step to the right, raised his gun and aimed at a few people, his eyes swept away, and he was sure that he had never seen these faces, "Who are you?" What are you doing at the police station at night? ”

"Don't get excited, Director Noor." Dean pressed his hand and made a relaxed movement, his eyes looked directly into the man's eyes, and the pupils of the two vampires behind him also became like searchlights, "We are outsiders, we just arrived in Pisriver Town today to visit an acquaintance, and we found that the streets outside were full of smashing and looting, and we were so frightened that we had to go to the police station to hide. ”

"Pith River, this is the name of the town from a long time ago, you know." Noor shook his head violently, avoiding the dazzling gaze of the three, the muzzle of the gun still raised, "Driver's license, show me!" ”

Dean was a little surprised that this guy was not hypnotized, reached into his arms and took out a forged document and threw it over.

After reading it, the sheriff put down his gun with a gentle face, walked quickly past everyone and locked the door of the police station again, shook his head and sighed,

"You didn't come at the right time, there was a big problem in the town, and the townspeople roamed the streets every night, wreaking havoc and hurting people... Extremely dangerous. ”

Nur looked at the two unconscious police officers with a complicated face,

"Two of my fellows have also lost their minds and attacked me as a criminal, the town should not stay longer, I suggest you hide in the bureau until tomorrow morning and leave immediately."

Dean nodded, and then asked rhetorically, "The situation is so serious, you haven't contacted other police stations outside to ask for support?" ”

Nur was stunned for a moment and smiled bitterly, "Why didn't I get in touch, I called every day, but I never responded, our Pisriver Town, like an isolated island in a nightmare, isolated from the world... Well, let's have some coffee first, and I'm shocked. ”

Noor kicked a desk full of bullet holes, picked up two unconscious police officers to roughly bandage their wounds, and walked over with five cups of steaming coffee.

"Director, when did this chaos in the town begin?" Dean and the others sat around a table and took a sip of coffee.

Nur grabbed a towel and wiped the sweat from his forehead, a trace of memory flashed in his bloodshot eyes, "About half a month ago." At first, it was fine, but only a handful of townspeople began to lose sleep and spend the night walking outside their yards... But the insomniac crowd began to expand, and gradually became a few people, a group of people, most of the townspeople, who left the courtyard and went out into the street, dancing, singing, shouting, and making noise like crazy to harass normal people..."

"I caught a lot of them at the time, but it didn't work, and when the day came, they forgot about last night's madness like amnesia, and said that I wronged them and arrested people indiscriminately."

"As a result, the next night, their atrocities intensified, breaking into people's houses to steal money, stealing food, forcibly appearing, making bad friends, fighting and fighting, and even arson and robbery in the past two days."

"I saw a couple of men prying at the ATM." Peter sighed as he sipped his coffee, "Swimming in the banknotes." ”

"I've been a police officer in Pith River for 10 years, and I've never encountered any of this." Nur sighed with a heavy face, and said in a painful tone, "In the past, the people in the town were simple and friendly, and everyone was warm and friendly, but in the past half a month, it has been like being cursed by Satan, and they have gradually fallen into the abyss, and the townspeople have become evil ghosts, except for barely maintaining their human bodies, only ugly desires are left inside." ”

Half a month.

A glint flashed in Dean's eyes.

According to the records on the tombstone, Bonnie and Ani's mother and son died just over half a month ago, and something happened in the town shortly after their deaths.

There is clearly some connection between the two.

When I think about it, the progress jumps to 20 percent.

"Chief Noor, how many sane townsfolk are left in the town?"

"I'm afraid I'm the only one left in my clear mind." Nur sighed solemnly, "I went to the field to hire experts and professors in order to solve the problem, but they also joined the team of madmen after living in the town for two days, and now they are probably 'drying their butts' on the street." ”

Dean and Christine exchanged a slightly surprised look, the impact of this energy field on ordinary people was more serious than imagined,

"Actually, we came to town to find Bonnie Prager and his son, but we found their graves in the cemetery? Alas, how the hell did they die? ”

The director looked at the young faces and muttered, "You are so young, it shouldn't have anything to do with her, why are you looking for her?" ”

Dean was ashamed to say, "I came to visit his old friend Bonnie with the last wish of an elder. ”

The director nodded, clenching the coffee with both hands, and a hint of pity flashed in his eyes, "More than half a month ago, Bonnie had a heart attack and died in her sleep while lying in bed. After her mother's death, Ani drowned in the bathtub when she bathed alone without help. These were confirmed by the coroner, and then the townspeople paid for them to be buried in the cemetery. ”

"And how are they doing before they leave?"

"Reluctantly, the townspeople have always been very sympathetic and caring for the poor mother and son, often bringing them food, helping to carry things, cleaning, applying for relief... But Bonnie is in poor health and can't walk steadily, so she can only stay in a dark house most of the time; ”

"Ani's intelligence is not as good as that of a four-year-old child, plus she has slurred speech, she hasn't made any friends, and she usually swings in her yard and climbs trees, and her heart may be more depressed..."

Noor looked down at the floor and said with reproach, "Actually, after Bonnie's death, I discussed with the mayor of the town to find a few warm-hearted locals to take care of Ani's life, but before the result could be discussed, Ani had an accident. ”

There was a moment of silence in the hall.

"It's normal," Sean broke the silence, "Doom always likes to bully poor people. ”

Dean looked at the 25 percent jump and asked, "Where's Bonnie?" ”

"Shortly after they died, a fire broke out in their home and the entire house was burned to rubble, and the ruins were just east of town."

Dean had seen the burned house, and there was no way to channel, "The two of them are gone, the house should be vacant, right?" How could there be a fire, or in the winter? ”

"I know what you mean, but there is nothing of value in the house, and no one has been injured, so the bureau has not pursued it." The director shook his head, "It's just that the gas installation in the house is leaking." ”

The crowd exchanged questioning glances, and Christine couldn't help but ask, "What are Bonnie and Arnie's best friends or enemies in town?" ”

The director shook his head, "Little girl, didn't I say before that the two of them live in seclusion and have no friends... As for the enemy? I haven't heard of anyone bullying them. ”

"What about close-knit relatives?" Monica stretched out the tip of her pink tongue and licked her coffee in a small bite and asked,

The director's eyebrows furrowed, "When you ask this, I remember something, I once heard some old people in the town mention that Bonnie had a loving husband, but when Ani was five or six years old, she left her two mothers and children without saying goodbye, and it has been more than ten years ago." ”

After her husband left, Bonnie was devastated, and she had to eat a lot of food every day to vent her grief and stress, and gradually changed from a famous beauty in the town to a fat man with an astonishing weight.

The progress of the incident jumped to thirty percent at once, and Dean suddenly understood that this husband was an important person, and perhaps the corpses of the two mothers and sons who were missing, and the energy field of the cemetery were all related to him.

And Boone and Sean all had indignant looks on their faces.

"Let's talk about this stinky man who abandoned his wife and children!"

Nur apologized, "I've only heard about him from other people's mouths, and I've never been in contact with him personally, so I can't help you, and what's the use of you looking for him?" ”

Dean said sincerely, "Take him to the graves of the two mothers and sons to confess, and let the souls of the two mothers and sons rest in peace." ”

"Now this dark Pith River, it's rare to have a kind person like you." Nur touched the mustache on his lips, a hint of appreciation flashed in his eyes, and he got up and hooked his hand, "Let's do it, follow me to the archives on the second floor to take a look, the information of the townspeople and voters in the past few decades has been recorded, maybe there is the information of the husband." ”
