Chapter 22: A brush with death
Arthur reluctantly opened the carpet and smelled the floor. This time he finally got something. Although the smell was very light, Arthur still smelled a trace of blood. After that, Arthur stood up and looked at the room carefully again. Se was sure that this room had been tidied up.
The sheets, bedding, and even the tea set, including the carpet, were replaced with identical new ones, because Arthur remembered that the little girl of that family had accidentally spilled tea on a corner of the bed sheets, although it was only a little, but Arthur remembered it clearly.
Now the place where there should have been tea stains was extremely clean. Arthur guessed that the old woman came to clean it. However, what made Arthur curious was that he did not hear the old woman coming upstairs. Last night After the sound disappeared there was no sound again.
"Ah? Have they left already?" Katie said with some regret as she looked at the empty room.
Arthur glanced at her, and after thinking about it, he decided not to tell her, because she seemed to have a special liking for the daughter of that family. After everyone had taken care of themselves, everyone walked down the stairs and prepared to leave.
After going down the stairs, Arthur saw that the old woman had opened the door. He turned around and looked at Arthur and the others. It seemed that he had been waiting for them here for a long time. Arthur frowned and looked at the old woman in front of him, his eyes wide. He glanced at her fingers aware of it.
After Poppy and the others passed by the old woman and thanked her, they walked out the door and planned to leave, but the old woman's words made Arthur stop.
"I thought you couldn't survive last night, so I was a little surprised..." the old woman said, staring at Arthur's back.
Arthur turned around and stared at her silently, because he knew that the old woman must have something to say next, and sure enough...
"Take this!" The old woman threw something towards Arthur. "It's useless to stay here anyway. Just drive it and leave early. It's best that we never meet again. We can't do it next time." It won’t be so easy.”
Arthur took the thing thrown by the old woman, lowered his head and saw that it was a car key. He quickly looked up at the old woman to see what he was about to ask. The old woman seemed to know what Arthur wanted to ask and shook her head. Shaking his head, he turned around and walked into the house and closed the door.
Seeing this, Arthur didn't say anything else. He turned around and threw the car keys to Bobby, pointed at the muddy white car in front of the house, opened the door first and got in.
Since Poppy and the others didn't see the family of three driving this car, they just thought it was a kindly gift from the old woman. Only Arthur knew that this car belonged to that family of three, and that family of three would never be able to get back from it. came out of that room.
Poppy drove towards the highway relying on his own memory. However, after driving for a while, he accidentally glanced at the rearview mirror and found that the manor behind him had disappeared. He was so frightened that Poppy stopped suddenly and turned around. He looked behind him with a shocked expression.
Seeing Bobby's reaction, everyone else also drove behind them and found that there was no plain behind them. There was clearly a wide river not far behind them, and everyone clearly remembered whether they left yesterday evening or before. when.
None of them had seen this river before. It was as if the river suddenly appeared, and the previous plains and manors disappeared, as if everything last night was just a dream.
"This...this...what's going on?" Anna asked stammering, her face turning pale.
But no one could answer him. The only one who could answer him, Arthur, was already asleep at this time. He had already discovered that the manor had disappeared. In this case, it meant that he and others came out from there, and Arthur did not need to I was on tenterhooks, so I fell asleep peacefully.
After Bobby, Anna, Katie, and John glanced at each other, they thought about what happened last night, and glanced at Arthur who was sleeping, and couldn't help but feel their hearts sinking.
"Haha, maybe I didn't pay attention and drove too fast just now. Haha, how could such a large manor disappear suddenly?" Bobby comforted himself with a forced smile.
After that, they continued to drive towards the highway. No one spoke any more along the way, and no one turned on the stereo to get high like yesterday. The atmosphere was frighteningly depressing, and everyone knew in their hearts that there was something wrong with the manor.
After about ten minutes, the car successfully drove onto the road, and more and more cars slowly started to appear on the road. However, after driving a few hundred meters along the road, Bobby saw a number of police cars parked in front of him, and around him There were many people around.
As he passed by, Bobby glanced there curiously. This glance frightened him again. He slowly stopped the car on the side of the road, took off the seat belt with trembling hands, and opened the door. Walk towards the crowd.
Seeing Bobby's strange behavior, John, Katie, and Anna hurriedly got out of the car and followed. The four of them passed through the crowd and finally came to the front. They also saw the object in the center of the crowd that was being carefully inspected by the police.
Looking at the three dismembered corpses, Anna and Katie couldn't help covering their mouths and retching. Bobby and John also covered their faces with their hands, looking at the faces of the three corpses with pale faces. It was a family of three who lived opposite them last night.
After Bobby took a deep breath, he asked a farmer next to him: "What's going on? Isn't it too cruel?"
In response to Poppy's inquiry, the farmer shook his head, took a sip from the cigarette in his hand, and then said to Poppy, "Just two hours ago, a man got up early to check whether there was any damage to his orchard after last night's heavy rain. Who knew that before I walked into the orchard gate, I saw three bodies hanging on the trees outside the orchard.”
"The man was so frightened that he called the police. When the police arrived, the body had already been brought to the road by the villagers. It is said that the body scattered and fell inexplicably, and there have been some terrifying legends in that village. So the villagers threw the body on the road.”
"The forensic doctor just now examined and found that these corpses had been dead for less than 12 hours, and their stomachs had been dug out, and all their internal organs were gone, including their brains. The farmer in the orchard has now I'm selling houses here and there to help the city. Sigh... it's so miserable..."
After listening to what he said, the four of them left without saying anything. After returning to the car, Bobby punched the steering wheel angrily, and then angrily grabbed Arthur's collar while he was sleeping.
"What happened last night! What happened! Why did a family of three die inexplicably? Tell me! What was that thing outside that door last night!!"
