McCann's understatement, to put it mildly, seems to be just a trivial matter. But listening to the ears of the three of Tess, they couldn't help but feel chills in their hearts.

Five chairs, that is, three more, three of them, exactly three people.

Are these three extra chairs for them?

McCann: They don't even know how long they've lived in this place, and why are they crazy?

The two of them don't look like crazy people at all, but more like ......

Tess, Officer Bacon, and Jerry looked at each other, and the thought of 'being captivated' welled up in their hearts at the same time. Looking at the food on the table, I didn't dare to taste it.

McCann glanced at them and smiled, "Why don't you sit down, guys, aren't you hungry?"

"Oh! we've just eaten. Jerry said.

As soon as he said this, he couldn't help but make a loud noise in his stomach.

"Haha!" McCann and Zhang couldn't help but laugh at the same time when they heard it. Zhang tore off a piece of chicken and said with a smile as he put it in his mouth: "It's really a joke buddy, but your stomach can't lie." You're all hungry, eat some. ”

As he spoke, he reached out and pointed to the empty chair next to him, motioning for the three of them to sit down.

"Forget it. "There must be something wrong with this food, where do the three of them dare to eat it, and at the same time open their mouths to refuse.

"Since you don't want to, forget it. McCann casually asked, "How did you get here?"

"We?" Tess looked at each other, but was clearly unwilling to answer the question. After a pause, he vaguely asked McCann and Zhang, "You all live here?"

McCann laughed, "You misunderstood, it's me who lives here, and Zhang lives on the other side of the forest. ”

"If we want to get out of the woods, do you know how?" asked Tess again.

"Of course, it's just a wood, not a labyrinth, if you need it. We can take you out. Zhang said very generously.

"Oh!" the three of them rejoiced. Thank you very much.

"You're welcome, folks. McCann politely asked again, "Don't you really need to eat?"

"Not really, thank you!" all three refused again at the same time.

"That's a shame! I prepared a lot of food today. McCann looked sorry and looked down at the food on the table. Then he frowned. Bow your head again and mutter. "Strange, why do I prepare so much food?"

At this time, Zhang added: "There wasn't so much food yesterday. ”

The two of them were still talking casually, listening to the ears of the three of Tess. But it made the three of them even more unspeakably shocked.

"When can you take us away?" Tess couldn't help but ask.

"Oh, at least wait until we've eaten, ma'am. McCann smiled and put a piece of beef into his mouth again, suddenly remembering something, and asked the three of them, "By the way, I don't know what your names are?"

"Wendy. Tess hesitated and uttered a pseudonym.

Officer Bacon and Jerry glanced at him, both of whom gave a false name, "Tate." "Keane. ”

"Hello. McCann and Zhang didn't suspect it, and greeted them.

The two of them didn't eat for long, and after a while, they finally finished eating.

Zhang stood up and said with a smile: "Our new friend must be in a hurry, okay, I'll send you out." ”

McCann hurriedly said, "Wait a minute, I'll go with you." So saying, he stood up, wiped his hands clean, and came out of the hut with the three of Tess.

At this time, the sky was still dark, and McCann held his flashlight to illuminate it.

Jerry looked at the sky and suddenly asked, "Man, is it always dark here?"

"How is that possible?" McCann retorted with a laugh, "only now is night, and in a little while, it will be dawn." ”

As he spoke, he raised his wrist and looked at his watch, the time on the watch was about three o'clock in the morning, he handed the watch to the three of them, "Look, the time is three o'clock in the morning, and in three hours, it will be dawn." ”

Of course, the three of Tess wanted it to be dawn, but the three of them vaguely remembered that when they came out of the apartment, plus the time on the road, it would definitely not be so late, but the three of them lost their mobile phones and did not wear watches, so no one knew the exact time, so they could not refute McCann.

Officer Bacon said, "Both, which direction are we going?"

"Out of the woods. Zhang replied with a smile, smiling and saying, "Oh! I forgot to mention, the direction out of the woods is in the same direction as where I live, if you have time, I don't know if you would like to go to my place for a while." ”

"Forget it. "How could the three of them go to his place, this strange woods, the strange behavior of the two people, made them extremely bottomless in their hearts, and faintly felt that maybe they didn't know when, something unpredictable would happen, so they refused at the same time.

Zhang Wei regretted, "That's a pity, there are a lot of friends living around here, and I originally planned to introduce them to you." ”

"How many people are here?" Tess couldn't help but be taken aback when she heard Zhang's words, and hurriedly asked.

"Yes, a lot of people, is there anything strange about it? Hearing Tess's tone, Zhang couldn't help but turn his head to look over, and then saw the strange look on Tess's face, and couldn't help but ask in surprise.

"Oh! Not really. Tess knew that she was speechless, and hurriedly covered it up, "I just didn't expect that there would be so many people in this place, and when we came, we didn't meet any of them." ”

"Hehe!" Zhang smiled, as if to show understanding, "Then you must have come from that direction." As he spoke, he pointed in one direction.

The three of Tess turned their heads to look, and suddenly realized that they had forgotten whether they had really come in that direction. The trees in the woods are so dense that it's easy to get disoriented. What's more, it's still night, and all directions, it looks the same.

The three of them panicked in their hearts, but they didn't dare to speak. Jarien nodded and said perfunctorily, "yes, you guessed right, man, we did come from that direction." ”

"Hehe!" McCann picked up with a smile, "not that we guessed right. It's just that direction. You say that you haven't met anyone else, you must have come from that direction. ”

When the three of them heard this, they couldn't help but feel shocked again. Look in that direction at the same time. Officer Bacon suddenly took a dagger from his body and made a mark on the tree. Remember that direction.

If nothing else, that direction is the direction they came from, if they get lost. You can also go back the way you came.

Tess and Jerion saw this, and immediately understood what Officer Bacon meant, and secretly understood, but no one moved, and continued to walk forward silently.

Zhang and McCann, as if they had not noticed Officer Bacon's movements at all, kept leading the way and walking forward.

The flashlight in McCann's hand shone forward, and suddenly said, "If we go a little further, we will meet Jason, Jason, who will be around here every day." ”

"Yes, I meet him every day when I come from my own place. Zhang added with a smile.

Hearing another name, Tess and the three were surprised, but they remained silent on the surface.

"It feels weird. McCann looked down for a moment, then suddenly frowned and whispered to himself.

"What's weird? man. Jerry couldn't help but ask.

"It's Jason. McCann replied, with a confused look on his face, "I rarely come to this place, why do I know that Jason wanders around this place every day." No, not very little, I don't remember when I was here. Oh, hell, I can't remember when I was here and why I remember Jason. As he spoke, he suddenly turned to Zhang, "Zhang, is what I said true? Jason, there really is such a person." ”

"That's right, man. Zhang Wenyan nodded again and again, "You remember right, there is indeed such a person as Jason, and it is not far ahead." ”

"Strange! Why do I know about him? I barely remember seeing him. McCann was still surprised.

"Maybe I told you before. Zhang thought for a moment before saying.

"Did you ever tell me?" McCann had a look of memory on his face, recalling it for a while, obviously the same as before, he couldn't remember anything, and couldn't help but reach out to his head again, and said bitterly, "Hell, I can't think of anything." ”

The expressions of the three Tess were even more shocked, and they could be called terrifying.

Tess suddenly asked tentatively, "Have you ever thought about getting out of here?"

"Why are you leaving?" McCann looked confused, but his tone was indescribably serious.

"Is this ......" Tess was immediately stopped by him, and for a moment, she didn't know how to answer.

"Hehe! she just asked casually. Jerry hurriedly added, "If you don't want to leave, don't leave." As he spoke, he winked at Tess secretly.

Tess was shocked and didn't dare to say anything more on the subject.

McCann and Zhang don't seem to have any intention of asking questions about any topic, or rather, it's hard for them to have any curiosity. Listening to Jerryne's words, McCann smiled, "It's very interesting, but we never thought about leaving here, and why do we have to leave here?"

"yes, it's good here, why do you have to leave here? There's really no need to leave this place. Zhang then added.

At the same time, the three of them finally realized a terrible fact, McCann and Zhang, but they were really confused, and the two of them lost their minds in this place, so that no one wanted to leave.

The three of them wisely chose not to ask more, lest McCann and Zhang become suspicious.

After walking for a while, Zhang suddenly said, "Jason is in front." Raise your voice and call out loudly, "Jason, Jason, are you there?"

"Oh, Zhang, where am I?" replied a man in the woods ahead, who was pacing up and down in the woods, looking very leisurely.

Then I spotted McCann, "Hey, McCann is here, too." ”

"Hello, Jason. McCann greeted Jason politely.

"Hello, McCann. Jason responded politely.

Tess and the three of them looked at Jason carefully. From this person's body, there is still no problem, at least on the surface, this person is completely no different from a normal person.

"Hey, three more friends, who are they?" Jason immediately spotted Tess and the three of them, asking Zhang and McCann.

"Wendy, Tay, Keane. Zhang helped to introduce.

Jason immediately greeted them, and Tess responded with a smile.

Jason didn't mean to say anything, and after saying hello, he paced around.

The three of Tess looked at each other, and the strangeness in their hearts was even worse. Eventually, Tess couldn't help but say, "Jason." Have you been here all along?"

Jason laughed, "yes." I come here every day for a walk. ”

"I come back here every day for a walk, but it's three o'clock in the morning. Tess continued.

"Three in the morning, oh, is it so late?" Jason snapped up, "It seems." I should go back too. ”

"Is your house nearby?" Tess continued.

"My family ......," Jason suddenly looked into the darkness in front of him. Reach out and point. "My house, right in that direction. If you have time, you are always welcome to come and play. ”

"Oh! Okay. Jason, thank you for having me. Tess graciously thanked her.

"Let's hurry up, it's getting dawn, and I haven't slept tonight." McCann suddenly felt sleepy, and whispered urging, talking, and even couldn't help but yawn.

"McCann, if you're sleepy, go back first, you don't have to send us off, really, we appreciate your hospitality anyway. Tess said.

"How can that be?" McCann was very unhappy, "I finally met a few friends, how can I not send you once." ”

Retorted to Tess and insisted that they must be given a ride.

Seeing this, Tess also had nothing to say. In fact, Officer Bacon had been on his guard, and Jerion was winking at Tess and motioning for her not to talk to them.

The five of them continued to walk forward, and soon met a few more people, these people were the same as Jason before, either wandering in the woods, or doing other things, and greeted Zhang and them very kindly, and when they saw the three of Tess, they were surprised, and they asked Zhang the same as Jason.

Like Jason, they all treated Tess as outsiders at a glance, giving Tess the feeling that the three of them had suddenly arrived in an isolated place, and all the people there lived in isolation.

One person is like this, it's okay, when he meets many people, they are all like this, and the three of them can't help but be shocked and frightened, and their faces can't help but become heavy.

After another journey, McCann seemed sleepy and couldn't open his eyes, and Tess persuaded him to go back again, and even Zhang began to persuade him.

"Hehe! I've never been to Zhang's house, so I was going to go with me to see it, but it's strange! Why am I so sleepy? I feel like I'm about to fall asleep unbearably. McCann muttered quietly, "It's unlucky, it seems that this time, I can't go again." Why am I friends with Zhang? If I am friends with Zhang, why is it that he is the only one who comes to me, but I never go to him?"

McCann muttered quietly, and none of the three Tess answered his words.

Zhang smiled, "That's because you never thought of coming to me." ”

"That's why I wonder why I never come to you when we're friends, but you've always come to me?" McCann continued.

Zhang was immediately stopped by this question, didn't know how to answer, pondered for a while, and then said: "Maybe you're busy, you have to prepare food every day, don't you?"

"It shouldn't be. McCann shook his head repeatedly, but in the end he couldn't find the real reason. As he spoke, he yawned again, "Ahh ”

"It doesn't matter, McCann, you go back, no matter what, thank you for getting us here. Tess graciously thanked her.

"yes, anyway, thank you for bringing us here. Jerry thanked McCann as well, but his eyes were fixed on the flashlight in McCann's hand, apparently playing with the flashlight's idea.

"Oh!" McCann immediately noticed his wooden light, and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, man, this flashlight really can't be lent to you, it's my most important item." As he spoke, he put away the flashlight and put it in his arms.

"Hehe!" Zhang suddenly added with a smile: "McCann's flashlight, even I have never touched it, everyone, don't think about it." That's right......"

As he spoke, he remembered something again, and then added: "In this place, except for Zhang, no one else seems to have a flashlight." Strange, how did I never notice before?"

The three of them looked at each other, and Tess said, "Without lighting tools, have you been living in the dark all the time?"

"There's nothing wrong with living in the dark. Zhang said with a smile, "After a long time, I know that I should go in that direction." ”

"But it's woods, and the trees are so thick, what if you fumble in the dark and accidentally bump into a tree?" asked Jerryne.

"Hehe!" Zhang smiled, "You're too worried, man, even if I have my eyes closed, I won't crash into a tree." ”

"Ahh ”

"Oh, goodbye. ”

The crowd greeted him, and McCann took his flashlight, said no more, and went back the way he came.

The crowd watched McCann walk away and turned around. Tess couldn't help but ask again: "Zhang, are you really closed eyes and won't crash into the tree?" (To be continued......)
