Chapter 451: Broken Stitches
"Good...... All right. Tess didn't know that Jerry and Officer Bacon were plotting against her, so she hesitated for a moment and agreed.
She walked to a corner of the room and leaned against the wall to sleep.
Neither Jarien nor Officer Bacon had any intention of sleeping for the time being, and both waited for Tess to fall asleep, placing the hair in her pendant, and once the hair was in, they would no longer have to worry about it.
Despite the fear, Tess was so tired that it didn't take long for her to fall asleep.
"Ms. Acheson, Ms. Acheson. Jerion whispered to Tess a few times, but she didn't hear Tess agree, and she was immediately relieved.
He slowly approached, still using a twig to flick the necklace around Tess's neck.
In the meantime, the branch accidentally touched the skin on Tess's neck, and Tess reached out and grabbed it gently, and Jerion immediately stopped moving.
Fortunately, Tess didn't wake up, so Jarion continued to flip Tess's necklace, opened the pendant, and put her hair inside.
This one was handed in, and Jaryne and Officer Bacon breathed a sigh of relief at the same time. Officer Bacon then fell asleep, and Jerry began his vigil.
This hut has such an extra hole, and the feeling of insecurity is unsafe to keep up all night, not to mention how uncomfortable it is. Jarion sat near the entrance of the cave and watched for a moment before sighing. Now it seems that it really is not a wise thing to break this hut with a hole. Although the demon is coming, this hut alone may not be able to stop the demon, but there are walls and no walls. For the people in the wall, it's two completely different feelings.
As long as his eyes could see the dark forest outside, Jaryne's heart could not settle down, and he was always worried that something would suddenly come out of the forest.
The flashlight in his hand was even more disturbed, shining in the woods all the time. Fortunately, in the end, the demon did not appear, and then it was Tess's turn to keep vigil.
Jerion went to sleep, and Tess sat at the entrance of the cave, staring at the movement outside, looking at the darkness in the woods, and couldn't help but complain in her heart.
At first, I didn't think it was anything. Wait until you yourself have a vigil. She just found out. The appearance of a hole made the hut that had given them a sense of security useless. She glanced back at Officer Bacon and Jerryne, both of whom were sleeping soundly. couldn't help but clench the pendant around his neck, secretly worried about the appearance of the demon.
Thankfully, during her vigil. There is no sign of the demon appearing. In the end, it was Officer Bacon's turn.
The night passed. The demon never appeared. But Tess and the three of them are in no hurry to get out of here. The walls had been smashed and they all wanted to see it. What kind of changes will happen to McCann. Tonight, whether McCann will be seen again or not.
This is very important, whether or not McCann can show up determines how they will deal with the demons.
During the day, let's say that period of time is daytime, because if you follow the time on the McCann watch, that period of time is exactly the time of day, just in the woods, and it is always night.
During the day, they hunted a hare, roasted it and ate it, and did not go far, but waited in the hut.
The daytime seemed to be extraordinarily long for them, and everyone's heart was full of anxiety. I don't know how long later, when all three of them were a little drowsy, Tess suddenly cried out and shouted, "Look, my God, it's out, it's out." ”
Officer Bacon and Jerry opened their eyes at the same time and looked in the direction Tess had said, and at a glance they saw the scene in front of them, and their sleepiness disappeared in shock.
On that table, food was slowly emerging, at first it seemed faint and transparent, and then it gradually became apparent, realized, and became real.
The inside of the noses of the three began to smell the aroma of food. At the same time, Jerry was shocked to find that the beer on the table had turned into six bottles.
It was six bottles, whether it was yesterday or the day before yesterday, there were only five bottles of beer on the table, and from the conversation between McCann and Zhang, the two knew that when they didn't show up, there were only two bottles of beer on the table, and knowing that they appeared, the beer and food suddenly increased, and it became the weight of five people.
This food, they also didn't know until now, was not prepared by McCann himself at all, but appeared out of thin air, but why did McCann feel that he prepared it himself?
"Six beers!" said Officer Bacon in shock.
"Didn't you notice? chair...... The chair ......," Tess shuddered, "and there was an extra chair. ”
"The food has also become more and more like...... It seems like exactly a fifth more...... The weight of one person. Jarien added horrified.
"Anyone else coming?" said Officer Bacon, rejecting the trio's guess.
"What about McCann? Will he show up again?" asked Jaryne.
As he asked, the eyes of the three of them involuntarily shifted to the outside of the wooden house at the same time, although until now, the door of the wooden house was closed, and the three of them looked in that direction, they must not be able to see anything, but the three of them just subconsciously wanted to look in that direction. It seems that even just looking in that direction gives them a clearer idea of what is going to happen.
At this moment, an extremely familiar voice suddenly came from the distance, laughing, "Haha! Man, you're finally here, I've been waiting for you for a long time." ”
This is McCann's voice, and there can be absolutely no mistake.
The three of them looked at each other, and Jerryne's pupils contracted violently, "He...... He's coming from the outside, damn it!"
scolded fiercely, looking at his expression, he was obviously disappointed. In his mind, even if McCann appeared, he would still appear in the house, and the real reason why the three of them would wait in the house was that they could see it with their own eyes if McCann appeared.
Let's see what are the similarities and differences between McCann's appearance and the appearance of demons. Maybe you can find a way to deal with the demons based on the similarities and differences.
But unexpectedly, all that appeared in the house was food and chairs. McCann was outside.
Then came Zhang's voice, asking, "Do you have anything to eat?"
McCann replied, "It's been ready for a long time." And wine, let's go, let's have a good time together. ”
It's still a familiar answer, and there is no difference between yesterday and the day before yesterday. The two of them were talking as they walked in this direction.
Officer Bacon suddenly said, "What about the others? Who is the extra bottle of wine, your chair, for?"
Tess suddenly reminded, "We'd better get out of here first, or wait for McCann and the others to come over and see us." See this hole again. He had to get angry. He glared at Jarien viciously.
"You're right, Ms. Acheson, let's leave first, go around in a circle, and come back. Officer Bacon agreed.
At this time. McCann and Zhang's footsteps grew closer. I was about to get close to the wooden house. The light of the flashlight was shining in this direction, and it was already through the door, and it was already penetrating into the room.
"Flashlight. He had another one. Jerion said in surprise as he turned off the flashlight in his hand so that McCann and Chang, who were coming outside, would not hear it.
"Let's go!" Tess whispered, gesticulating, and slipped through the hole in the wall. Officer Bacon followed, and Jarien hesitated before following.
As soon as the three of them got out of the hole, they walked lightly into the distance, but fortunately the place was densely wooded, and in a moment, the figures of the three of them disappeared into the bushes.
Soon, there was a sound of the door opening from behind, followed by McCann's exclamation, "Ahhhhh
Then there was Zhang's persuasion, "McCann, forget it, you can't catch up, since someone broke your hut and you are not here, it can be seen that you are afraid that you will know." Since I'm afraid that you know, you must have left a long time ago, and if you chase it now, it's impossible to catch up. ”
McCann was furious, "If I knew who broke my cabin, I ......"
Tess glared at Jerion viciously again, and whispered a reprimand, "Jerryne, look at the good things you have done, if you let McCann know that we did it, you must drive us out." ”
Jerry spread his hands helplessly, saying that he didn't expect such a result.
"Don't blame him any more, Miss Acheson, let's go around in a circle, and then walk back and have a look. It's a good thing that McCann didn't disappear because of this. Maybe we can ask something from him. Officer Bacon advised.
Jerry couldn't help but interject, "I'm actually curious to know who that bottle of beer, that chair, and extra food is for whom." ”
Hearing this, Tess suddenly thought of something, couldn't help but shiver, and said in a trembling voice: "I hope it's not a demon." ”
"Demons?" Officer Bacon and Jerry were stunned at the same time, of course, they were also like Tess, they didn't want the demons to come, but judging from the current situation, it seemed that the possibility of being a demon was much more likely than the others.
But Tess continued: "The people in this wood, apparently like McCann and Zhang, disappear every day and appear every day. In the same way, what they do is repeated day by day. So, if nothing happens, everyone else will just do their own thing every day, just like that Jason, who will only walk in the forest, and Tracy and them, will only meet in the forest. So, they're not going to come to McCann. Since it's not them, it's an outsider, and who else can an outsider be besides the demons?"
Tess made such a rare and well-founded analysis, and Officer Bacon and Jerion were stunned.
It was only after a while that Officer Bacon came to his senses and said, "You have a point, ma'am, and it seems that we need to be careful." ”
Jaryne said worriedly, "If it's really a demon, it's better not to see it." ”
"Whether it's a demon or not, it's just speculation, anyway, we should go over and take a look, and go now, can you rest assured?" asked Officer Bacon.
Jerry also said that he also knew that what Officer Bacon said was very reasonable, and they didn't even dare to walk in the direction of the woods without seeing what was coming. Immediately said: "Okay, let's go quietly." ”
The three of them made a big circle before walking in the direction of McCann's cabin. After a while, I finally got back to the outside of the hut.
Soon a voice was heard from the hut, and McCann asked, "Man, why are you here?"
As soon as the words reached the ears of Tess and the three of them, the three of them realized that something was wrong. The sixth man, apparently in the time they had been bypassing, had made his way to the cabin, and was communicating with McCann.
The three of them looked at each other, and by the light of the honeycomb, they could see the nervousness on the faces of the others.
Soon, the voice of the sixth man came, "My friends and I are separated, they ...... They seem to have entered here. ”
"Your friends, who are they?" asked Zhang casually.
But at this time. Tess: They couldn't hear Zhang at all. The hearts of the three of them were completely shaken by the voice of the person just now.
The owner of this voice, two days ago, walked with them. Also two days ago. The owner of this voice. Turned into an ice sculpture, and was finally struck by a demon and shattered. It became pieces piece by piece.
He was Officer Bacon's colleague, Officer Terry.
"It's Terry!" Officer Bacon was startled and couldn't help but cry out.
This voice immediately alarmed the people in the room, and McCann asked loudly, "Who is it?"
Officer Terry heard Officer Bacon's voice and asked, "Is it Bacon? I'm here, Ms. Acheson is here? Mr. Scone is not there? I've been looking for you for a long time." ”
"Is that your friend?" followed by Zhang's questioning.
Officer Terry didn't answer, and the door opened, and the light of a flashlight shone out on Tess and the three of them.
The light of Jerryne's flashlight shone on, but it fell on Officer Terry.
"Ahh......h You ......" saw the image of Officer Terry clearly, and the three of them couldn't help but be even more surprised, for a while, they didn't know what to say, Officer Terry's appearance looked like a broken person, and he was stained with watering or something. Including the clothes on his body, and even every single strand of his hair.
"You...... You...... You ......" Tess fainted in shock.
Officer Terry didn't seem to notice this at all, and he laughed, "It's great that I've finally found you, Bacon, Miss Acheson, and Mr. Scone." ”
Strangely, McCann and Zhang didn't seem to care about Officer Terry's problems at all, and had completely forgotten that they had seen Tess and them, and greeted Officer Terry with a smile, "Are they your friends?" ”
But Zhang followed suit: "I thought it was strange just now, why did McCann prepare so much food and so many chairs, did it turn out that they were prepared for them?"
"Oh!" McCann reached out and patted his forehead, puzzled, "Is that so?" I'm not sure, well, let's just take it that way. ”
Tess was still in shock, "Officer Terry, you...... You ......"
Officer Terry couldn't help but smile when he saw Tess's expression, his whole body was shattered, and when he smiled, it seemed that his whole body was going to fall off piece by piece, it looked indescribably terrifying, but his words were indescribably gentle, and he said with a smile: "I'm nothing, why are you so shocked when you see me." ”
Jayry said, "Are you really Officer Terry?"
Officer Terry was a little upset, "Are you suspicious of me?" Mr. Scone. ”
Jerry was shocked when he heard this, and he didn't know whether to return for a while.
Officer Bacon immediately picked up, "Terry, are you really Terry?"
Officer Terry laughed, "That's not funny at all, man, you're calling my name and asking me if it's me." ”
"Hey, aren't you friends, is this what happened?" asked McCann, concerned, his tone full of surprise.
"I just...... I was just...... For a while, some people couldn't accept it. Officer Bacon's tone changed, and he continued, "Since you're Terry, do you know who is in my family?"
"Who are they? man, are you testing me? When did you have anyone else in your house besides yourself?" Officer Terry said without thinking.
Officer Bacon pondered for a moment and asked again, "By the way, is your wife Olivia okay?"
"Dude, you're confused, I'm single, where is my wife? Olivia is the name of my cat. Officer Terry looked displeased.
Officer Bacon deliberately asked this question just to determine Officer Terry's identity. After listening to Officer Terry's answer, he couldn't help but be skeptical, thought about it, and asked, "If you were Terry, how did you become like this, do you know?"
"What is this, what is it?" Officer Terry looked at himself, and didn't seem to see anything wrong, and looked at Officer Bacon in surprise.
Officer Bacon frowned, "You really didn't feel it. ”
Officer Terry said, "I don't know what you're talking about, man. All I know is that we were chased by demons, and when we woke up, we found that you were gone, and we searched in the woods, and we found the mark you made, and we followed the mark and found here, is there anything wrong?"
What's wrong? It's a big problem. Officer Terry's whole body was shattered, how could he wake up? How could he ...... The way he is now, it's really ...... People don't dare to take a second look.
Both Jarion and Tess couldn't help but turn their faces away, not daring to look at Officer Terry more, the scene on him was too terrifying. Just by looking at it, people feel uncomfortable all over the body, and after falling asleep, they are afraid that they will have nightmares.
But he didn't feel anything out of the ordinary.
On the other side, McCann had already beckoned to them again, "Guys, don't stand outside all the time, come in quickly, and talk while eating, can't you?" (to be continued......)
