203. Cats, Dogs, Dead Men and Maidens
Rotheton has been strange lately.
To be precise, he'd been weird ever since he met Veronica, but now he's even stranger than ever, and Richard even feels a little stranger to him.
But as a friend, Richard would still accompany him in these tiresome things.
"We've been walking for more than twenty minutes, is this old building area really that big?" Rochelton wondered, it seemed to be a lot larger than the map marked.
A low, menacing roar came from afar.
"Wild dogs?" said Richard, "this place is indeed bigger than I thought, and perhaps it is because we are not familiar with this place that we have misjudged the distance and time of our movements. ”
Roschelton felt a little uneasy because of the strange voice:
"Are there wild dogs here, and are there any food left for them after all these years of decay?"
Richard says:
"Don't underestimate these canines, they are not as fragile and delicate as humans, and for humans, there may be no life-sustaining resources here, but for these animals, food may be everywhere. ”
Roshuton waved his arm, feeling his muscles.
If it was a breeding dog, even a large one, he had the confidence to subdue it, but the beast was different, he had seen a bobcat in the wild.
It was an abnormally large giant cat.
He was staring at the beast, and Rawton could see that in the eyes of the other party, he was nothing more than a stupid big man with no muscles, and she could easily kill her if she wanted to.
Fortunately, she didn't do anything to Luo Huton.
He couldn't help but take out the steel short stick in his bag and gently waved it twice.
Richard looked at his right hand holding the stick.
Rawton was also serious.
In fact, Richard was also a little skeptical about what he would face, although the previous nearly 20 years of life had cultivated his deep-rooted rational thinking, but at the moment he still let the fear of the unknown and mystery prevail in his mind.
Veronica and Kelly fell far behind them.
They wouldn't be lost, and Kelly could see them far away.
Because there were no abandoned buildings at all in the behind-the-scenes vision, but a deserted vacant lot, Kelly was able to follow them closely, even though they were separated by several concrete walls.
A big cat and a big dog keep moving forward on the desolate land.
The muscles of the humanoid cheetah fully propped up the vest, and the huge muscle mass made everyone feel awe, and the speed at which he wielded his short stick was full of intimidation.
The gray wolf with his head down does not have the tyranny and bloodiness of canines at all, but his eyes are full of human wisdom and cunning, and his furry tail constantly swings to tell the complex emotions of his master.
If it was just her, Kelly would have been closer to the two of them, but she still had Veronica with her.
It seems that what the other party wants to do is also closely related to Veronica, and Kelly can't leave her where she is and follow her by herself.
But in fact, Kelly is so serious because she thinks that this matter may have something to do with Herwen.
And that's exactly what happened.
Ever since she had seen the giant magical whale, Kelly's sense of hearing had become much sharper.
Richard's voice reached Kelly's ears through the wind.
"What about Hewen? Zahir said that if we want to deal with Hewen, should we stop him together. ”
Luo Huton said expressionlessly:
"No, we don't have that much time to meddle around, we need to focus on Veronica. ”
Richard doubted if he really thought so.
Or did he actually feel deep down that it would be better if something happened to Hewen.
Roar!
The beast's voice sounded closer.
Rotheton's grip on the stick tightened slightly.
"Doesn't sound like a dog. Richard said.
Rotheton smiled bitterly:
"There's still a distance to hear the sound, so there's no need to worry. ”
Richard paused:
"Here we are, here it is. ”
In front of it is a complex of buildings, more than a dozen small bungalows with yards.
"This is a place for the professors of the school, and the former president will use this house as a bargaining chip to attract some good professors to work here, and there should have been more residences here, but a lot of them have been demolished over the years. Richard explained.
Rotheton asked:
"Then why don't they continue to dismantle it?"
Richard shrugged:
"I don't know, the school completely closed this area a long time ago, and some people speculated that it was because it was haunted, but in fact, in my opinion, it is more likely to involve some complex conflict of interest. ”
Roschelton nodded:
"Which one?"
Richard's answer made Roschelton feel a little irritated:
"Every single one. ”
What followed was a boring and repetitive toil, as they kept opening lock after lock and searching through rooms with identical internal structures.
They don't know who the predecessors of these houses are, and although Richard has friends who can get the inside information, he tells him that the information has been lost.
So he didn't know that on the floor where he was standing at the moment, thirty years ago lived the man with the highest status in the school.
Richard wore gloves to prevent fingerprints, and dust was a difficult point to solve, but unexpectedly, things in this room seemed to have been touched not long ago.
Luo Hughton says:
"It looks like this is it, but who stayed here before we came here?"
Rawton looked at the wall, where a strange painting was mounted.
It's a peculiar inverted triangle, but this triangle is made up of many weird symbols.
Richard didn't answer his question, he was lying on the ground, putting his ear on it, and gently tapping his hand on the wooden floor.
"There's underground space, and people in the 50s liked to hide things in this way. ”
Rawton leaned the bat against the closet beside him.
Richard pointed to the wooden bed.
He placed his hands under the bed.
"Whew!"
As the muscles of the arms bulged high, the wooden bed slowly lifted upwards.
"Ding!"
A crisp and clear voice suddenly sounded from under the bed.
Richard's face changed:
"Alarm system!"
