COC Running Group-Long Dream Endless
Chapter 1
library ovo
As I wrote in my article, there is a school subsidy for the IELTS test within three months before and after graduation, that is to say, a total of 340 dollars for the test fee, I only need to pay 170 dollars, and the school subsidizes 170 dollars.So every year in the graduation season, many students will apply for the IELTS test, which is cheaper to score, and the half-price test will not be a loss if you don’t take the test (no).
Today, of course, I went to the library with my roommate as usual. For lunch, I bought sushi and udon noodles at the sushi restaurant next to the school restaurant (the fried chicken served with udon is super delicious, and the golden meringue fried on the outside absorbs it After eating the seafood broth, it becomes slightly soft, but the taste is very fresh. The chicken inside is fried just right, and you can taste the fragrance of the broth and the splashing juice of the chicken. In addition, the fried chicken in this store is The chicken is marinated with a special sauce before being breaded and fried, so the chicken still has a special sauce, but I don’t know the recipe, so I can’t restore QAQ at home. In addition, the eel sushi in this restaurant is also very delicious , the eel with a little fish skin is grilled and then the oil is secreted, and the eel is wrapped in rice with tamagoyaki, the combination of the umami of the eel and the taste of the egg is really a masterpiece).
By the way, this chapter is not about how delicious my lunch is, the main point is what happens after lunch.
I am writing, and I plan to finish this book as soon as possible and start a new article. By the way, I may bring a new group, so I will do the continuation of this article.As I was writing, my roommate showed me the emergency notice here. There was a shooting in the area where I live around [-]:[-] this morning. Two men with guns hid in the area with their guns after attacking passers-by. in an apartment.
At present, the police have completely surrounded that area, that section of the road is also closed to traffic, and the bus has been diverted urgently.
The shooting is only five or six minutes away from the University of Queensland. Although it is still quite far from my home, this is the first time I have heard of a shooting so close to where I live (I am not in the United States, why? There will also be shootings in Australia, I thought it was a specialty of the United States orz).
The most terrible thing is! ! ! !Just when I thought the shootings were about the guns! !A moving picture was paid for in the news?short video?The one that the big brother inside is holding is obviously □□! !So big?Although I can't recognize the model, but it's obviously much stronger than the attack power, right? orz
So I decided to stay in the library for a while and go home at night QAQ
PS: Let me tell you a joke about the shooting incident in Australia. I saw the news some time ago. After being shot four times, a big brother drove 10 minutes to the hospital by himself and asked for emergency treatment?Really powerful, driving 20 minutes with an injury.
In addition, I have been really not going well recently. I went to my roommate’s room last night. When I looked up, a spider was lying on the ceiling above my head. I heard my voice on the street corner on the way home orz
The house in the novel is actually based on my family, but it’s not like in the novel where two people rent a house together. In reality, my roommates and I share a house with three people. The rent pressure is small, and the house itself has three bedrooms and one living room.
Then there is a roommate who is from the Department of Mathematics. She is miserable. She has to learn calculations, finance, and programming.
As for my major, it’s not the history major that is so unlucky in the coc. It’s another liberal arts major. Compared with it, there are a little less homework, but I am forced to read stacks of documents every day.If you don’t read it, you can’t. The teacher’s class is to summarize the literature assigned every week. If you don’t read it every week, you won’t understand what the teacher is saying.
Especially in the few days when I was writing the thesis, I read the literature crazily. I once wrote a literature review of more than 3000 words. I read more than 30 papers related to the topic, and finally selected [-] of them to make a table, make a summary, and make a comparison. , After finishing writing, I touched the top of my head, um, the speed of hair volume reduction is directly proportional to the progress of homework completion QAQ
Ah, thinking about the shootings makes me worry, I hope Australia will be calm in the one or two months before I graduate and return to China, and nothing will happen orz
dramatic
"Help!" Michael stumbled towards the only "similar" in the woods.
As the distance approached, the back in front looked more and more familiar, with beautiful straight and muscular legs, a slender waist, and a linen-colored ponytail mixed with a few strands of gold.
"...Eve! Eve, let's run, there are monsters behind!" Michael shouted after recognizing his back. The otaku, who lacked exercise all the year round, was out of breath. He saw an acquaintance, although he didn't know if there was one. Yes, Michael was still greatly relieved.
The woman in front of her turned her head slowly. Eve was wearing sunglasses and a mask, covering 80.00% of her face.
However, at this moment, she looked a little bit wrong, staring straight at Michael with a pair of eyes, motionless like a puppet, and there seemed to be a strange fishy smell on her body.
It was only at this time that Michael realized that something was wrong with the situation in front of him. Eve was standing in front of an open space surrounded by several RVs. Many empty wine bottles and pizza boxes were scattered on the ground. A not-so-small bluetooth speaker stands beside the RV.
Next to the messy objects are countless human corpses, piled up in a haphazard manner.
These corpses look extremely abnormal, their naked limbs are pale and distorted, and the skin is covered with deep wrinkles and chapped marks, they look like old people over a hundred years old, no, even old people will not have such Textured exterior.These people look like dehydrated and dried vegetables contained in instant noodles, twisted and wrinkled beyond recognition.
What was even more frightening was that the clothes of those people clearly showed that they were not octogenarians, and many of them were even younger than twenty.
Michael just stood there in a daze, and the monster chasing him behind him had retreated back into the dark woods at some point, but the corpse in front of him gradually began to emit a faint fluorescence similar to other creatures in the woods.
"You...Eve...they..." Michael gradually collected his remaining rationality, and took a few steps back, trying to stay away from Eve. If the girl in front of him had something to do with this scene, it might not be a simple danger. I can describe it.
However, according to Murphy's Law, when a bad thing has a chance of happening, the less you want it to happen, the easier it is to be slapped in the face, which is the so-called what should come will always come.In the next second, the broken glass bottle in Eve's hand pointed at Michael accurately, and the action quickly flashed in front of Michael.
Michael let out an exclamation, and frantically tried to dodge to the side, but the violent movement just now, that is, the continuous life-threatening run before, exhausted all the energy of the poor otaku. He staggered and changed his position, but was still caught by Eve. The glass bottle in his hand pierced his abdomen precisely, and he howled in pain.
Shaking and taking two steps back to distance himself from Eve, Michael shook his head, clenched his teeth and rushed towards Eve with his fists clenched. Afterwards, he felt a tingling pain in the soles of his feet and couldn't move half a step.
When he was stabbed in the abdomen by a glass bottle again, Michael finally couldn't hold it anymore and fell forward to the ground.Only then did he realize that what blocked his counterattack was a spike on the ground, which had already pierced the sole of his foot.
He fell forward in dizziness, struggled to press the emergency contact button with his mobile phone, and when he heard Sanders' voice from the opposite side, he whispered: "The woods below Carmody Street, help, Eve... After that, Michael let go of his hand and fell into a coma.
No one knows whether Eve heard the call, but she acted as if she didn't care at all at the moment. She squatted quietly in front of Michael, and raised her hand again against the back of the unconscious person in front of her. broken glass wine bottle.
Sanders, who received the call, was standing in front of Eve's house. There was no light in the single-family house, and the missing girl still hadn't come home.
If there is a question about how long it takes to rush from the door of Eve's house to the open space in the grove, Sanders, who has actually experienced it, can accurately give the answer. Eight minutes and 40 seconds. I retest and estimate that the error will not be more than up and down. ten seconds.
Even though he rushed to the place where the incident happened in such a short time, Sanders still felt that he came too slowly. At this time, there were only countless corpses and Michael covered in blood left in the clearing.
I don't know if everything that happened recently is so unreasonable. When facing such a terrifying scene, Sanders seems to be used to it.He just knelt beside Michael calmly, stopped his hands and tried to stop the bleeding of the hapless guy. At the same time, he called the police and ambulance.
The next day's morning news broadcast this tragic murder. Although no one knew who made a large group of young people die at the same time in such a strange way, both the residents and the police suffered. a strong psychological impact.
Also suffering psychological blows were her senior who was stabbed for no reason and fell down. Lisa, who had no schoolmaster to fly with her, Johanna, who was investigating her companion's brutal murder, and Sanders, who had begun to doubt Eve.Of course, there might be Michael who knew that he was sent to the hospital by ambulance, and even failed to fake his body to refuse the ambulance.
The three of them just sat quietly in the hospital. Michael's surgery had already been completed, and he was lying in the ward under the care of them.His parents and girlfriend have received information, and it is estimated that they will arrive in this city soon to take care of Michael.
"No matter what clues Michael has, he can't tell us now that he is unconscious." Lisa was a little sullen, but there was still a bit of worry on her face.
What was even more complicated was Sanders who heard Michael's last phone call. He never thought that Eve would be related to this kind of incident: "I want to continue the investigation, at least to know who attacked Michael, and Where did Eve go?"
"Did Michael see Eve before he passed out..." Johanna whispered, "Or... Eve attacked Michael?"
"I don't know, but Michael specifically pointed out Eve before he passed out. I think it's probably the latter. Although I don't want to believe it, I don't want to admit it." Sanders replied with a frown.
At this time, an old police officer came from the other end of the corridor, stopped in front of Michael's ward, talked to the nurse at the door, and then walked towards the group of Sanders guarding the door.
"Didn't I finish the notes?" Sanders asked uncertainly.
The old police officer nodded: "Yes, your record has been completed. I just came to visit this young man in the name of a private person. After his roommate died suddenly, I was deeply moved by his sensibility. I didn't expect him to To be murdered."
Lisa was thinking nonsense, the relationship between Michael and his roommate was not as deep as that between him and the research report, but at this moment she also sighed with a moved look: "If Michael knew that you came to see him, he would be very happy. Happy. I didn't think we'd only been apart for a short time with Michael, and he..."
Speaking of this, Lisa was a little choked up. It wasn't acting skills, but her true feelings when she thought about her group assignments and GPA next semester. However, the old police officer completely misunderstood what she meant, and there was even a hint of an old matchmaker in her eyes. Such a kind smile.
"Officer, I'm really curious, who is going to hurt the harmless Michael so viciously? He has no power to restrain the chicken, so he shouldn't suffer such bad luck." Lisa said righteously.
The old police officer lowered the brim of his hat, approached a few people and said in a low voice: "A nearby resident saw someone coming out of the forest. It seemed that it was a young lady who was wearing sunglasses and a mask and couldn't see her face clearly. But I knew it was a flaxen with a good figure. The girl with long hair, I don't know if she is a witness or..."
In the end, the police officer's voice became softer and softer, and finally straightened up with a serious expression, and resumed his normal volume: "I just came to see Michael today, and I hope he can recover as soon as possible, then I have work in the future, so I will go to work first." gone."
Seeing the old police officer walk away, the three remaining people looked at each other, and finally Lisa made a final decision: "We will help you find Eve."
small theater:
Michael: I'm going to dodge (1D100:99) big fail
Eve dice damage: 1D3=3
Michael: I'm going to attack (1D100:96) Big fail
KP: ? ? ?You didn't pay attention to your feet when you counterattacked, and stepped on a nail, roll a 1D3 damage
Michael: 1D3=3
……
Michael dice of will: 1D100: 87 failed, Michael fell into a coma
Michael: Wait! KP I set up Sanders as an emergency contact before I struggled to call him for help before I passed out! !
KP: Then you roll a lucky...
Michael: My luck is super high!sure no problem
KP: Don't set up FLAG, I think we should tear the card
Michael: Lucky (1D100:1) big success
KP: ? ? ?
Michael: Before he fell into a coma, Michael took advantage of Eve's inattention and pressed the emergency contact button. When he heard Sanders' voice from the opposite side, he whispered: "The woods below Carmody Street, help, Eve ..." After that, Michael let go of his hand and fell into a coma.
KP: Why did you write your own plot?I originally planned to let Sanders be on the edge of the forest. When his cell phone rang, he scared Eve away, and then came to save you. Why would he die.Wait a minute... stop and come back and continue to make up! ! ! !
Find
Where could Eve be?The question was brought to the table.
Sanders recalled carefully, from the places she liked to stay and the places related to her after she met Eve, and finally raised her head and said to Lisa and Johanna: "Generally Eve lives a two-point and one-line life, that is, Home and school. I didn’t find anyone when I went to her house before, and now the police are looking for Eve, so I think Eve will definitely not go home if she doesn’t want to meet the police.”
"Where's her parents' house?" Johanna asked in a normal way.
Sanders shook his head: "Her parents and relatives live in Sydney. Eve came to Brisbane to study by herself, and then stayed in school to work. So she should not return to Sydney temporarily. If she shows up at the airport At this time, he might have been invited to the police station for tea."
"It makes sense, so as long as Eve is not found by the police, then she must be hiding in a place that the police did not expect. What about the school?"
"If Eve stays at the school, it's usually the humanities library, the professor's office, our office, and the department of the sailing club." Saunders counted out the places where Eve might go.
"Then let's search in order, starting from the humanities library and your office, which are relatively close, then go to the professor to ask, and finally go to the department of the sailing boat."
"I'm fine, but wouldn't it be better to just make a phone call from the professor?"
"Mistake, I was too concerned about Eve's whereabouts, and I forgot one of the greatest products of our civilized society, the mobile phone!" Johanna smiled and took out the mobile phone, but Sanders pressed it.
"Leave it to me here." Sanders said and already dialed the professor's phone number, "Professor, hello, sorry to disturb you so late, I want to ask if Eve went to see you today? Didn't you? Has she contacted you recently? I mean after we met you yesterday... no? Okay, if Eve contacts you, please let me know, please?"
Sanders who hung up the phone shrugged, and the other two heard the content of the call, so they naturally knew that they could cross to a place.
Therefore, the three of them went to the school as planned. At night, the school could barely see the road with the help of street lights, but the dim lights and dense tree shadows made the whole atmosphere a little scary.
Fortunately, there was also a man named Sanders who went with him, and he seemed to be quite capable of fighting.
Several people soon arrived downstairs in Building 14. Sanders took out his faculty card, swiped open the automatic door downstairs, and went up to the fifth floor to the information desk where he usually works.Behind the information desk is the office where Sanders and Eve usually work, most of which are single desks separated by baffles.
Even just standing in the doorway, you can tell that the office is empty.After sending Michael to the hospital, finishing the record, and then deciding everything, it was past ten o’clock when I came to the school. Australian employees never like to work overtime, so let alone the office. Basically, the entire school is empty except for the security guards on duty at night.
However, Sanders, who was a little worried, took out the key and opened the baffle of the information desk, walked into the office to check carefully, and only left the office to the next location after making sure that there was not even a single cockroach.
After leaving the office, the Humanities Library was downstairs in Building 14. Since it was confirmed that Eve did not bring a mobile phone, Sanders did not bother to call Eve. Check the first floor together.
There are still a few students in the library who have not returned home. Many people may not plan to leave the library. These 24-hour libraries have always been favored by students.
It's a pity that Eve was still not found in the library. She seemed to have evaporated and could not be found.
"Then, let's go to the sailing club next. By the way, what kind of club is the sailing club, I have never been to it." Lisa asked Saunders curiously.
Sanders looked at Lisa with strange eyes, as if he didn't know what a surprising thing the sailing club was: "Didn't you see the recruiting posters of the sailing club on the recruiting day of the club? Sailing boats and motorboats will be sent to the playground for display to attract new students to join the club. And the sailing club organizes an event every year, and all members will divide into groups and drive sailboats to an uninhabited island for a picnic.”
No wonder it is so popular, Lisa thought honestly in her heart, as a person who was born inland and has never seen the sea, this kind of club is simply heaven.
The clubs of this club are also quite good. As an outdoor activity club, their clubs are mainly used for training new recruits, teaching safety knowledge, and holding parties within the club.After eleven o'clock at night, the department room had already locked the door, and it was completely impossible to see if there was anyone in it with the lights off.
"The door is locked. There can't be anyone inside, right?" Lisa shook the door. The lock was locked at this time, and it was obvious that there was no way to open it by brute force.
Sanders squatted down and looked at the keyhole, and tried to poke casually with his own key, but he couldn't open the door, and couldn't open the lock with a hard card along the crack.
"It's also possible that someone inside locked the door from the inside," Sanders shrugged and stared at the door lock with a wry smile. "It seems that there is only one way now. It's time to find security."
Fortunately, at this time, a security guard whom Sanders was quite familiar with happened to be on duty in the campus at night. Relying on Sanders' eloquent tongue, the security guard was soon persuaded and helped the three of them open the door of the department room.At this moment, the security guard gave Sanders a friendly smile, stood at the door and waited for the three of them to finish their work in the department before confirming that the door was locked again.
The three of them entered the department room together. The quiet department room was empty, and the unobstructed design basically showed that Eve was not there.The three of them just stood helplessly inside the department room. Sanders glanced at the security guard standing at the door, and said in a low voice: "It seems that we can only go to Eve's house to look for it. I don't know if we can find anything useful. intelligence."
Lisa and Johanna nodded in the same way. After thanking the security guard, they watched him lock the door of the department room again.
The three of them walked in the pitch-black campus, and Lisa lamented, "I always feel that Eve might still be hiding in the school. After all, there are so many classrooms and offices here, it's quite easy to hide."
"But it's impossible for us to check every classroom. Do you know how big the school is?" Johanna pointed out the reality. Indeed, it might not be possible to find the entire school in one night, not to mention that Eve could not hide in A place has been waiting for them to search.
Returning in vain is always disappointing. The few people dragged their heavy steps to the door of Eve's house, which was actually only 20 minutes away from the school. The single-family house was still shrouded in darkness without a ray of light.
"It's pointless not to go in and search, right?" Johanna offered.
Seeing Sanders nod across the way, Johanna continued: "So, how do we break into someone's house illegally without a key?"
Sanders pointed to the floor-to-ceiling windows in the courtyard on the first floor: "According to my understanding of Eve, she never locks the windows. After all, the security here has always been good, so we can go in directly through the floor-to-ceiling windows."
Sure enough, as Sanders expected, the window was easily opened, and the first floor of the house was empty.
After drawing the curtains of the floor-to-ceiling windows, Saunders fumbled to turn on the lights on the first floor after making sure that his slightly illegal behavior had not been noticed by anyone.The moment the light came on, all three of them narrowed their eyes, and were blinded for a second or two by the flash.
After their eyes adjusted to the light, the three of them discovered that on the wall directly opposite the floor-to-ceiling windows, there was a huge tapestry full of unusual patterns.It was an old tapestry, and after observing it for a while, Lisa even felt that the tapestry was much older than herself.
And the strange statue that Eve bought was placed in front of the tapestry, and the two things looked very harmonious when put together, as if they should have been put together in the first place.
Several people searched everywhere, but found nothing on the first floor.
Sanders was silent for a moment before making a decision: "Let's go to the second floor and look for it."
Stepping up the stairs on the second floor, there are two rooms with opposite doors on the second floor, one of which is Eve's bedroom, and the other is the study room. There are a lot of open books piled up on the floor of the room, which is almost overwhelming. Landing place.
It can be seen that Eve had read a lot of these books before leaving, as if she was looking for some information, and I don't know if she found the information she wanted.
The three squatted and rummaged through a large number of books, but found nothing useful. They could only find that many of the books on the ground were about folk customs and legends from various places.
Lisa and Johanna continued squatting in the room and flipping through books, while Sanders got up and went to Eve's bedroom.
The bedroom was in a mess at this time, a lot of clothes and cosmetics were randomly thrown on the ground, the only makeup mirror was smashed by something, and it was almost impossible to find a complete human figure.Sanders rummaged through it as if he had a target. After spending about 10 minutes, he straightened up with an ugly face and sighed.
The final chapter
The moment he walked into the room, Sanders decided on his search target—Eve's cell phone.
When he came to look for Eve before, Sanders called Eve's mobile phone downstairs, and indeed heard the ringtone of the mobile phone from the second floor, confirming that Eve left the house without the mobile phone.
This is also the main reason why Sanders is particularly worried about Eve. What young person in today's society would not carry a mobile phone with him?Especially at this moment when Eve has been haunted by nightmares recently and has been searching for the truth with Sanders. The only way for them to communicate is through mobile phones. Under such circumstances, Eve would not forget to bring her mobile phone.
However, the real situation is that Eve left the house in a hurry without carrying the mobile phone abnormally.At this time, Sanders had some guesses in his heart, so he went straight to the target to find the mobile phone while entering the room.
To his disappointment, the phone was nowhere to be found.As a last resort, Sanders dialed Eve's number, and the waiting voice only rang before being hung up. At the same time, no bell rang in the quiet room.
Sanders, who hurried out of the room, shouted to Lisa and Johanna: "Eve went home, she went home and packed her things before leaving. At present, my suspicion of her has skyrocketed, but I don't believe she will do it." something like this."
"Didn't you say that there are still many corpses at the scene? I also think Eve can't do that," Lisa turned her head and replied, "But it's also possible that she joined that cult organization. Didn't she suddenly pay special attention to that ominous statue? Interested, bought it yet? And we found this in her study."
As she said that, Lisa shook the note in her hand. It was something they found in the pile of books with great difficulty. It seemed to be printed out after being secretly photographed by Eve. It was the same as the one found in the library. Strange mantra.
"Summoning deep divers? Maybe Eve is just interested in this aspect, and she has always liked this kind of folk anecdote." Sanders defended Eve with a slightly unnatural expression.
Lisa sighed and stopped talking.But Johanna continued: "Then why did she secretly print it out behind our backs? And I think she not only has the spell recorded on this note, in her diary, we also found a page full of A note with a strange content, which seems to be recording her dreams. Her condition is much more serious than what we imagined and what she said."
"Okay, okay, but we can't sentence her to death based on these, we have to listen to how she justifies it?" Sanders made a gesture of surrender, "Of course, it is very unfortunate that she is currently Refuse to answer my phone call. Isn’t there another situation now? That is, Eve witnessed the scene where the cultists attacked the people in the open space and seriously injured Michael. What’s more unfortunate is that she was also found, so she began to avoid the other party’s attention Hunt down."
"Just make excuses for her." Lisa muttered.
Sanders spread his hands: "No way, I owe her too much. Under certain circumstances, I will do my best to help her, as long as it does not violate the law and my own principles, I mean."
"Whether it's your guess or our suspicion, the premise is the same, that is to find Eve." Lisa said firmly, "But there are too many ways for her to leave, driving or public transportation are all possible, she even You can walk away in a direction where there is no one at will, and maybe no one will stop her. After all, she may only be regarded as a witness or an accomplice by the police rather than a suspect."
Sanders tapped his head with a headache, when he suddenly had a flash of inspiration: "That's right! We forgot one thing."
Looking at Lisa and Johanna's puzzled gazes, Sanders replied confidently: "There is a place that will never be discovered or blocked, and at the same time can reach the open sea at the fastest speed - driving a motorboat Follow the Brisbane River to the Gold Coast, through the port and into the open sea."
"Isn't that realistic?" Lisa exclaimed.
Sanders sighed: "No, quite realistic. Eve used to be a member of the sailing club. After graduation, she stayed at the school and became a staff member of the sailing club. Every semester, she drives a motorboat to the uninhabited island for the sailing club. Escort for the journey. Eve also escorts the motorboat during the sailing club training. Even the daily maintenance and refueling of the motorboat are Eve’s responsibility. She has an innate talent and interest in water sports. She is a member of the sailing club They have a good relationship with her."
"Then let's go to the place where the sailing club parks the motorboat!" Lisa said anxiously.
However, Sanders shook his head: "No hurry, let's go home first, and I'll drive. If Eve has already driven the motorboat down the Brisbane River, we will definitely not be able to catch up with her without transportation."
"That makes sense, I also want to get some self-defense weapons." Johanna calmly agreed, and at the same time glanced at Lisa, as if telling her not to be so impatient, "And we'd better contact the professor."
"Why contact the professor?" Even Sanders was a little puzzled this time.
Johanna explained unhurriedly: "Do you think you have time to call the police if the deep divers really appear? But now the police is not good for Eve, and Sanders must be unwilling, right? Then we can only contact the professor Tell him everything, and ask him to call the police immediately if we call him. And at least someone must know our whereabouts. If there is any accident, at least someone will collect the body."
"It's really not good." Lisa said as she followed Sanders and left Eve's house through the French windows, heading in the direction of her own house.
On the way, Sanders called the professor. Fortunately, it was almost two o'clock and the professor hadn't rested yet. After hearing Sanders' request, the professor readily agreed, and Sanders also handed over the professor's The number is set as an emergency contact.
"Let's go." Sanders sat in the driver's seat, and Lisa and Johanna climbed into the back seat hand in hand.After buckling up his seat belt, Sanders drove towards the school as fast as he could without speeding.
Entering the quiet school again, the few people felt a little uneasy. They didn't want to see Eve escape in the motorboat, but also wanted to have a settled result.
When the car drove to the bus station, several people hurriedly got off the car and walked along the lawn to the door of the small warehouse where the motorboat was parked.Before entering, the few people found fresh drag marks on the grass. Taking chances, they still opened the shutter door of the warehouse.
Among them, there is no trace of the motorboat, and even the spare oil drums have disappeared completely.
"I really ran away." Lisa covered her open mouth with her hand, and looked at Sanders worriedly.
Sanders only had peace on his face. After the three returned to the car, he drove onto the bridge, crossed the wide Brisbane River, and headed towards the Gold Coast along the direction of the river.
The distance from Brisbane to the Gold Coast is not far, but only two hours away (the author modified it, in fact, the Brisbane River is connected to the Port of Brisbane, and it takes only 30 minutes to drive there. Just want to make the distance a little bit farther).
In the quiet compartment, Sanders didn't even turn on the music. The car was speeding on the dark road, and the atmosphere was a little depressing.At this time, Sanders' cell phone rang, and he parked the car on the side of the road silently, and answered the phone.
"Eve, it's you, right? You're on the motorboat now?" Sanders cut to the chase and said his guess.
On the motorboat, Eve had a slightly surprised look on his face, and then smiled again: "You found out? I was trying to tow the motorboat just now, so I hung up your phone. If there is anything you want to know, we will Let's meet at the port."
After saying this, Eve hung up the phone, looked at the dark water, and threw the phone into the river.
Sanders started the car again with a gloomy face, this time no one called him again, time passed, the three of them arrived at the empty pier smoothly, and Eve, as expected, stood on the motorboat in the distance , as if waiting for the arrival of the three.
"Eve!" Sanders shouted to the people on the sea.
Several people saw Eve standing on the speedboat from a distance. She turned her back to everyone. After hearing Sanders' call, she slowly squatted back on the speedboat without any response.
Sanders looked complicated and shouted: "Eve, what exactly are you trying to tell me? I believe that you didn't kill those people, right? Then what did you see at the scene? Someone threatened you ?"
"Heh, haha...hahahahaha..." Eve's nervous laughter seemed to ring in everyone's ears, her originally soft and pleasant voice became hoarse, and her emotions seemed strangely excited, "Are you really here?" Thank you very much for your trust, yes, I did not kill those people.”
Sanders breathed a sigh of relief, but was even more puzzled. Eve's state was obviously not right now. He couldn't help but walked towards the port and continued to ask, "Then can you tell us what exactly happened? Aren't we friends?"
"Huh?" Eve suddenly sat on the side of the boat, her weight caused the small motorboat to tilt to one side, but she didn't seem to care, and gently stroked her face, "How could we be friends? ? No matter who you are, you will not become friends with the monster in your eyes, right?"
What monster?Lisa was a little confused: Does anyone think Eve is a monster?Although I do think that you are a cultist who sacrificed many people in order to hold some mysterious ceremony, or used some mysterious evil method to harm people, and I did want to lure you ashore and call the police, but I never think that you Not human.
Of course, Lisa just kept these thoughts in her heart and didn't say a word.
Sanders sighed, trying to turn the topic from the weird place back to the real thing. He didn't want to anger Eve, who was clearly in a mental state, but he didn't know how to appease the current Eve: "I don't believe you will kill people, I don't think you are a monster, and I don't think you have the ability to commit such serial murders. But only if I believe you are useless, and only if you come back to cooperate with the police's investigation can you clear your suspicion and we can help You, it is impossible for you to escape too far by going to sea alone like this."
As if moved by Sanders, Eve drove the motorboat a little closer to the shore, although in fact there was still a long distance, and she couldn't get close quickly by swimming alone.
Eve's voice gradually became flustered, and Sanders could even hear her eagerness to rely on: "Saunders, thank you for still believing in me! I really have nothing...no...I mean I really They didn’t kill those people, and they didn’t hold any cult rituals.”
"That day, I just saw a light flashing in front of me. I didn't know why and I chased after it. At that time, I felt that I must be bewitched by something. I just focused on the light in front of me. Michael followed me and I didn't know I found it. I followed the light until I walked to the clearing in the forest, where there were many people lying here and there, you must have seen that number! It can’t be me, can it?”
"When I got there, everyone had fallen to the ground! I didn't do it! When I got close to them, they didn't move, and many places on their bodies seemed to be cracked, like dried pottery figurines. I I don’t know if it’s my hallucination, but they still seem to be emitting a soft light.”
"I was really scared, my legs were weak when I stood in front of their dead bodies, and I couldn't move at all. Someone was talking behind me at this time, and he seemed to say that he would call the police. I was really scared. I didn't want to be regarded as a murderer. At once……"
"I don't remember what happened in that short period of time. When I woke up, that person was already lying in a pool of blood! I didn't mean to hurt him, and he must think I did it! I killed him Those people, so... so... I stabbed him again with a broken glass bottle that I found casually on the ground."
"I didn't do it on purpose, who made him think that I was a murderer! I must not be caught, I still have things to do, I still have to
As I wrote in my article, there is a school subsidy for the IELTS test within three months before and after graduation, that is to say, a total of 340 dollars for the test fee, I only need to pay 170 dollars, and the school subsidizes 170 dollars.So every year in the graduation season, many students will apply for the IELTS test, which is cheaper to score, and the half-price test will not be a loss if you don’t take the test (no).
Today, of course, I went to the library with my roommate as usual. For lunch, I bought sushi and udon noodles at the sushi restaurant next to the school restaurant (the fried chicken served with udon is super delicious, and the golden meringue fried on the outside absorbs it After eating the seafood broth, it becomes slightly soft, but the taste is very fresh. The chicken inside is fried just right, and you can taste the fragrance of the broth and the splashing juice of the chicken. In addition, the fried chicken in this store is The chicken is marinated with a special sauce before being breaded and fried, so the chicken still has a special sauce, but I don’t know the recipe, so I can’t restore QAQ at home. In addition, the eel sushi in this restaurant is also very delicious , the eel with a little fish skin is grilled and then the oil is secreted, and the eel is wrapped in rice with tamagoyaki, the combination of the umami of the eel and the taste of the egg is really a masterpiece).
By the way, this chapter is not about how delicious my lunch is, the main point is what happens after lunch.
I am writing, and I plan to finish this book as soon as possible and start a new article. By the way, I may bring a new group, so I will do the continuation of this article.As I was writing, my roommate showed me the emergency notice here. There was a shooting in the area where I live around [-]:[-] this morning. Two men with guns hid in the area with their guns after attacking passers-by. in an apartment.
At present, the police have completely surrounded that area, that section of the road is also closed to traffic, and the bus has been diverted urgently.
The shooting is only five or six minutes away from the University of Queensland. Although it is still quite far from my home, this is the first time I have heard of a shooting so close to where I live (I am not in the United States, why? There will also be shootings in Australia, I thought it was a specialty of the United States orz).
The most terrible thing is! ! ! !Just when I thought the shootings were about the guns! !A moving picture was paid for in the news?short video?The one that the big brother inside is holding is obviously □□! !So big?Although I can't recognize the model, but it's obviously much stronger than the attack power, right? orz
So I decided to stay in the library for a while and go home at night QAQ
PS: Let me tell you a joke about the shooting incident in Australia. I saw the news some time ago. After being shot four times, a big brother drove 10 minutes to the hospital by himself and asked for emergency treatment?Really powerful, driving 20 minutes with an injury.
In addition, I have been really not going well recently. I went to my roommate’s room last night. When I looked up, a spider was lying on the ceiling above my head. I heard my voice on the street corner on the way home orz
The house in the novel is actually based on my family, but it’s not like in the novel where two people rent a house together. In reality, my roommates and I share a house with three people. The rent pressure is small, and the house itself has three bedrooms and one living room.
Then there is a roommate who is from the Department of Mathematics. She is miserable. She has to learn calculations, finance, and programming.
As for my major, it’s not the history major that is so unlucky in the coc. It’s another liberal arts major. Compared with it, there are a little less homework, but I am forced to read stacks of documents every day.If you don’t read it, you can’t. The teacher’s class is to summarize the literature assigned every week. If you don’t read it every week, you won’t understand what the teacher is saying.
Especially in the few days when I was writing the thesis, I read the literature crazily. I once wrote a literature review of more than 3000 words. I read more than 30 papers related to the topic, and finally selected [-] of them to make a table, make a summary, and make a comparison. , After finishing writing, I touched the top of my head, um, the speed of hair volume reduction is directly proportional to the progress of homework completion QAQ
Ah, thinking about the shootings makes me worry, I hope Australia will be calm in the one or two months before I graduate and return to China, and nothing will happen orz
dramatic
"Help!" Michael stumbled towards the only "similar" in the woods.
As the distance approached, the back in front looked more and more familiar, with beautiful straight and muscular legs, a slender waist, and a linen-colored ponytail mixed with a few strands of gold.
"...Eve! Eve, let's run, there are monsters behind!" Michael shouted after recognizing his back. The otaku, who lacked exercise all the year round, was out of breath. He saw an acquaintance, although he didn't know if there was one. Yes, Michael was still greatly relieved.
The woman in front of her turned her head slowly. Eve was wearing sunglasses and a mask, covering 80.00% of her face.
However, at this moment, she looked a little bit wrong, staring straight at Michael with a pair of eyes, motionless like a puppet, and there seemed to be a strange fishy smell on her body.
It was only at this time that Michael realized that something was wrong with the situation in front of him. Eve was standing in front of an open space surrounded by several RVs. Many empty wine bottles and pizza boxes were scattered on the ground. A not-so-small bluetooth speaker stands beside the RV.
Next to the messy objects are countless human corpses, piled up in a haphazard manner.
These corpses look extremely abnormal, their naked limbs are pale and distorted, and the skin is covered with deep wrinkles and chapped marks, they look like old people over a hundred years old, no, even old people will not have such Textured exterior.These people look like dehydrated and dried vegetables contained in instant noodles, twisted and wrinkled beyond recognition.
What was even more frightening was that the clothes of those people clearly showed that they were not octogenarians, and many of them were even younger than twenty.
Michael just stood there in a daze, and the monster chasing him behind him had retreated back into the dark woods at some point, but the corpse in front of him gradually began to emit a faint fluorescence similar to other creatures in the woods.
"You...Eve...they..." Michael gradually collected his remaining rationality, and took a few steps back, trying to stay away from Eve. If the girl in front of him had something to do with this scene, it might not be a simple danger. I can describe it.
However, according to Murphy's Law, when a bad thing has a chance of happening, the less you want it to happen, the easier it is to be slapped in the face, which is the so-called what should come will always come.In the next second, the broken glass bottle in Eve's hand pointed at Michael accurately, and the action quickly flashed in front of Michael.
Michael let out an exclamation, and frantically tried to dodge to the side, but the violent movement just now, that is, the continuous life-threatening run before, exhausted all the energy of the poor otaku. He staggered and changed his position, but was still caught by Eve. The glass bottle in his hand pierced his abdomen precisely, and he howled in pain.
Shaking and taking two steps back to distance himself from Eve, Michael shook his head, clenched his teeth and rushed towards Eve with his fists clenched. Afterwards, he felt a tingling pain in the soles of his feet and couldn't move half a step.
When he was stabbed in the abdomen by a glass bottle again, Michael finally couldn't hold it anymore and fell forward to the ground.Only then did he realize that what blocked his counterattack was a spike on the ground, which had already pierced the sole of his foot.
He fell forward in dizziness, struggled to press the emergency contact button with his mobile phone, and when he heard Sanders' voice from the opposite side, he whispered: "The woods below Carmody Street, help, Eve... After that, Michael let go of his hand and fell into a coma.
No one knows whether Eve heard the call, but she acted as if she didn't care at all at the moment. She squatted quietly in front of Michael, and raised her hand again against the back of the unconscious person in front of her. broken glass wine bottle.
Sanders, who received the call, was standing in front of Eve's house. There was no light in the single-family house, and the missing girl still hadn't come home.
If there is a question about how long it takes to rush from the door of Eve's house to the open space in the grove, Sanders, who has actually experienced it, can accurately give the answer. Eight minutes and 40 seconds. I retest and estimate that the error will not be more than up and down. ten seconds.
Even though he rushed to the place where the incident happened in such a short time, Sanders still felt that he came too slowly. At this time, there were only countless corpses and Michael covered in blood left in the clearing.
I don't know if everything that happened recently is so unreasonable. When facing such a terrifying scene, Sanders seems to be used to it.He just knelt beside Michael calmly, stopped his hands and tried to stop the bleeding of the hapless guy. At the same time, he called the police and ambulance.
The next day's morning news broadcast this tragic murder. Although no one knew who made a large group of young people die at the same time in such a strange way, both the residents and the police suffered. a strong psychological impact.
Also suffering psychological blows were her senior who was stabbed for no reason and fell down. Lisa, who had no schoolmaster to fly with her, Johanna, who was investigating her companion's brutal murder, and Sanders, who had begun to doubt Eve.Of course, there might be Michael who knew that he was sent to the hospital by ambulance, and even failed to fake his body to refuse the ambulance.
The three of them just sat quietly in the hospital. Michael's surgery had already been completed, and he was lying in the ward under the care of them.His parents and girlfriend have received information, and it is estimated that they will arrive in this city soon to take care of Michael.
"No matter what clues Michael has, he can't tell us now that he is unconscious." Lisa was a little sullen, but there was still a bit of worry on her face.
What was even more complicated was Sanders who heard Michael's last phone call. He never thought that Eve would be related to this kind of incident: "I want to continue the investigation, at least to know who attacked Michael, and Where did Eve go?"
"Did Michael see Eve before he passed out..." Johanna whispered, "Or... Eve attacked Michael?"
"I don't know, but Michael specifically pointed out Eve before he passed out. I think it's probably the latter. Although I don't want to believe it, I don't want to admit it." Sanders replied with a frown.
At this time, an old police officer came from the other end of the corridor, stopped in front of Michael's ward, talked to the nurse at the door, and then walked towards the group of Sanders guarding the door.
"Didn't I finish the notes?" Sanders asked uncertainly.
The old police officer nodded: "Yes, your record has been completed. I just came to visit this young man in the name of a private person. After his roommate died suddenly, I was deeply moved by his sensibility. I didn't expect him to To be murdered."
Lisa was thinking nonsense, the relationship between Michael and his roommate was not as deep as that between him and the research report, but at this moment she also sighed with a moved look: "If Michael knew that you came to see him, he would be very happy. Happy. I didn't think we'd only been apart for a short time with Michael, and he..."
Speaking of this, Lisa was a little choked up. It wasn't acting skills, but her true feelings when she thought about her group assignments and GPA next semester. However, the old police officer completely misunderstood what she meant, and there was even a hint of an old matchmaker in her eyes. Such a kind smile.
"Officer, I'm really curious, who is going to hurt the harmless Michael so viciously? He has no power to restrain the chicken, so he shouldn't suffer such bad luck." Lisa said righteously.
The old police officer lowered the brim of his hat, approached a few people and said in a low voice: "A nearby resident saw someone coming out of the forest. It seemed that it was a young lady who was wearing sunglasses and a mask and couldn't see her face clearly. But I knew it was a flaxen with a good figure. The girl with long hair, I don't know if she is a witness or..."
In the end, the police officer's voice became softer and softer, and finally straightened up with a serious expression, and resumed his normal volume: "I just came to see Michael today, and I hope he can recover as soon as possible, then I have work in the future, so I will go to work first." gone."
Seeing the old police officer walk away, the three remaining people looked at each other, and finally Lisa made a final decision: "We will help you find Eve."
small theater:
Michael: I'm going to dodge (1D100:99) big fail
Eve dice damage: 1D3=3
Michael: I'm going to attack (1D100:96) Big fail
KP: ? ? ?You didn't pay attention to your feet when you counterattacked, and stepped on a nail, roll a 1D3 damage
Michael: 1D3=3
……
Michael dice of will: 1D100: 87 failed, Michael fell into a coma
Michael: Wait! KP I set up Sanders as an emergency contact before I struggled to call him for help before I passed out! !
KP: Then you roll a lucky...
Michael: My luck is super high!sure no problem
KP: Don't set up FLAG, I think we should tear the card
Michael: Lucky (1D100:1) big success
KP: ? ? ?
Michael: Before he fell into a coma, Michael took advantage of Eve's inattention and pressed the emergency contact button. When he heard Sanders' voice from the opposite side, he whispered: "The woods below Carmody Street, help, Eve ..." After that, Michael let go of his hand and fell into a coma.
KP: Why did you write your own plot?I originally planned to let Sanders be on the edge of the forest. When his cell phone rang, he scared Eve away, and then came to save you. Why would he die.Wait a minute... stop and come back and continue to make up! ! ! !
Find
Where could Eve be?The question was brought to the table.
Sanders recalled carefully, from the places she liked to stay and the places related to her after she met Eve, and finally raised her head and said to Lisa and Johanna: "Generally Eve lives a two-point and one-line life, that is, Home and school. I didn’t find anyone when I went to her house before, and now the police are looking for Eve, so I think Eve will definitely not go home if she doesn’t want to meet the police.”
"Where's her parents' house?" Johanna asked in a normal way.
Sanders shook his head: "Her parents and relatives live in Sydney. Eve came to Brisbane to study by herself, and then stayed in school to work. So she should not return to Sydney temporarily. If she shows up at the airport At this time, he might have been invited to the police station for tea."
"It makes sense, so as long as Eve is not found by the police, then she must be hiding in a place that the police did not expect. What about the school?"
"If Eve stays at the school, it's usually the humanities library, the professor's office, our office, and the department of the sailing club." Saunders counted out the places where Eve might go.
"Then let's search in order, starting from the humanities library and your office, which are relatively close, then go to the professor to ask, and finally go to the department of the sailing boat."
"I'm fine, but wouldn't it be better to just make a phone call from the professor?"
"Mistake, I was too concerned about Eve's whereabouts, and I forgot one of the greatest products of our civilized society, the mobile phone!" Johanna smiled and took out the mobile phone, but Sanders pressed it.
"Leave it to me here." Sanders said and already dialed the professor's phone number, "Professor, hello, sorry to disturb you so late, I want to ask if Eve went to see you today? Didn't you? Has she contacted you recently? I mean after we met you yesterday... no? Okay, if Eve contacts you, please let me know, please?"
Sanders who hung up the phone shrugged, and the other two heard the content of the call, so they naturally knew that they could cross to a place.
Therefore, the three of them went to the school as planned. At night, the school could barely see the road with the help of street lights, but the dim lights and dense tree shadows made the whole atmosphere a little scary.
Fortunately, there was also a man named Sanders who went with him, and he seemed to be quite capable of fighting.
Several people soon arrived downstairs in Building 14. Sanders took out his faculty card, swiped open the automatic door downstairs, and went up to the fifth floor to the information desk where he usually works.Behind the information desk is the office where Sanders and Eve usually work, most of which are single desks separated by baffles.
Even just standing in the doorway, you can tell that the office is empty.After sending Michael to the hospital, finishing the record, and then deciding everything, it was past ten o’clock when I came to the school. Australian employees never like to work overtime, so let alone the office. Basically, the entire school is empty except for the security guards on duty at night.
However, Sanders, who was a little worried, took out the key and opened the baffle of the information desk, walked into the office to check carefully, and only left the office to the next location after making sure that there was not even a single cockroach.
After leaving the office, the Humanities Library was downstairs in Building 14. Since it was confirmed that Eve did not bring a mobile phone, Sanders did not bother to call Eve. Check the first floor together.
There are still a few students in the library who have not returned home. Many people may not plan to leave the library. These 24-hour libraries have always been favored by students.
It's a pity that Eve was still not found in the library. She seemed to have evaporated and could not be found.
"Then, let's go to the sailing club next. By the way, what kind of club is the sailing club, I have never been to it." Lisa asked Saunders curiously.
Sanders looked at Lisa with strange eyes, as if he didn't know what a surprising thing the sailing club was: "Didn't you see the recruiting posters of the sailing club on the recruiting day of the club? Sailing boats and motorboats will be sent to the playground for display to attract new students to join the club. And the sailing club organizes an event every year, and all members will divide into groups and drive sailboats to an uninhabited island for a picnic.”
No wonder it is so popular, Lisa thought honestly in her heart, as a person who was born inland and has never seen the sea, this kind of club is simply heaven.
The clubs of this club are also quite good. As an outdoor activity club, their clubs are mainly used for training new recruits, teaching safety knowledge, and holding parties within the club.After eleven o'clock at night, the department room had already locked the door, and it was completely impossible to see if there was anyone in it with the lights off.
"The door is locked. There can't be anyone inside, right?" Lisa shook the door. The lock was locked at this time, and it was obvious that there was no way to open it by brute force.
Sanders squatted down and looked at the keyhole, and tried to poke casually with his own key, but he couldn't open the door, and couldn't open the lock with a hard card along the crack.
"It's also possible that someone inside locked the door from the inside," Sanders shrugged and stared at the door lock with a wry smile. "It seems that there is only one way now. It's time to find security."
Fortunately, at this time, a security guard whom Sanders was quite familiar with happened to be on duty in the campus at night. Relying on Sanders' eloquent tongue, the security guard was soon persuaded and helped the three of them open the door of the department room.At this moment, the security guard gave Sanders a friendly smile, stood at the door and waited for the three of them to finish their work in the department before confirming that the door was locked again.
The three of them entered the department room together. The quiet department room was empty, and the unobstructed design basically showed that Eve was not there.The three of them just stood helplessly inside the department room. Sanders glanced at the security guard standing at the door, and said in a low voice: "It seems that we can only go to Eve's house to look for it. I don't know if we can find anything useful. intelligence."
Lisa and Johanna nodded in the same way. After thanking the security guard, they watched him lock the door of the department room again.
The three of them walked in the pitch-black campus, and Lisa lamented, "I always feel that Eve might still be hiding in the school. After all, there are so many classrooms and offices here, it's quite easy to hide."
"But it's impossible for us to check every classroom. Do you know how big the school is?" Johanna pointed out the reality. Indeed, it might not be possible to find the entire school in one night, not to mention that Eve could not hide in A place has been waiting for them to search.
Returning in vain is always disappointing. The few people dragged their heavy steps to the door of Eve's house, which was actually only 20 minutes away from the school. The single-family house was still shrouded in darkness without a ray of light.
"It's pointless not to go in and search, right?" Johanna offered.
Seeing Sanders nod across the way, Johanna continued: "So, how do we break into someone's house illegally without a key?"
Sanders pointed to the floor-to-ceiling windows in the courtyard on the first floor: "According to my understanding of Eve, she never locks the windows. After all, the security here has always been good, so we can go in directly through the floor-to-ceiling windows."
Sure enough, as Sanders expected, the window was easily opened, and the first floor of the house was empty.
After drawing the curtains of the floor-to-ceiling windows, Saunders fumbled to turn on the lights on the first floor after making sure that his slightly illegal behavior had not been noticed by anyone.The moment the light came on, all three of them narrowed their eyes, and were blinded for a second or two by the flash.
After their eyes adjusted to the light, the three of them discovered that on the wall directly opposite the floor-to-ceiling windows, there was a huge tapestry full of unusual patterns.It was an old tapestry, and after observing it for a while, Lisa even felt that the tapestry was much older than herself.
And the strange statue that Eve bought was placed in front of the tapestry, and the two things looked very harmonious when put together, as if they should have been put together in the first place.
Several people searched everywhere, but found nothing on the first floor.
Sanders was silent for a moment before making a decision: "Let's go to the second floor and look for it."
Stepping up the stairs on the second floor, there are two rooms with opposite doors on the second floor, one of which is Eve's bedroom, and the other is the study room. There are a lot of open books piled up on the floor of the room, which is almost overwhelming. Landing place.
It can be seen that Eve had read a lot of these books before leaving, as if she was looking for some information, and I don't know if she found the information she wanted.
The three squatted and rummaged through a large number of books, but found nothing useful. They could only find that many of the books on the ground were about folk customs and legends from various places.
Lisa and Johanna continued squatting in the room and flipping through books, while Sanders got up and went to Eve's bedroom.
The bedroom was in a mess at this time, a lot of clothes and cosmetics were randomly thrown on the ground, the only makeup mirror was smashed by something, and it was almost impossible to find a complete human figure.Sanders rummaged through it as if he had a target. After spending about 10 minutes, he straightened up with an ugly face and sighed.
The final chapter
The moment he walked into the room, Sanders decided on his search target—Eve's cell phone.
When he came to look for Eve before, Sanders called Eve's mobile phone downstairs, and indeed heard the ringtone of the mobile phone from the second floor, confirming that Eve left the house without the mobile phone.
This is also the main reason why Sanders is particularly worried about Eve. What young person in today's society would not carry a mobile phone with him?Especially at this moment when Eve has been haunted by nightmares recently and has been searching for the truth with Sanders. The only way for them to communicate is through mobile phones. Under such circumstances, Eve would not forget to bring her mobile phone.
However, the real situation is that Eve left the house in a hurry without carrying the mobile phone abnormally.At this time, Sanders had some guesses in his heart, so he went straight to the target to find the mobile phone while entering the room.
To his disappointment, the phone was nowhere to be found.As a last resort, Sanders dialed Eve's number, and the waiting voice only rang before being hung up. At the same time, no bell rang in the quiet room.
Sanders, who hurried out of the room, shouted to Lisa and Johanna: "Eve went home, she went home and packed her things before leaving. At present, my suspicion of her has skyrocketed, but I don't believe she will do it." something like this."
"Didn't you say that there are still many corpses at the scene? I also think Eve can't do that," Lisa turned her head and replied, "But it's also possible that she joined that cult organization. Didn't she suddenly pay special attention to that ominous statue? Interested, bought it yet? And we found this in her study."
As she said that, Lisa shook the note in her hand. It was something they found in the pile of books with great difficulty. It seemed to be printed out after being secretly photographed by Eve. It was the same as the one found in the library. Strange mantra.
"Summoning deep divers? Maybe Eve is just interested in this aspect, and she has always liked this kind of folk anecdote." Sanders defended Eve with a slightly unnatural expression.
Lisa sighed and stopped talking.But Johanna continued: "Then why did she secretly print it out behind our backs? And I think she not only has the spell recorded on this note, in her diary, we also found a page full of A note with a strange content, which seems to be recording her dreams. Her condition is much more serious than what we imagined and what she said."
"Okay, okay, but we can't sentence her to death based on these, we have to listen to how she justifies it?" Sanders made a gesture of surrender, "Of course, it is very unfortunate that she is currently Refuse to answer my phone call. Isn’t there another situation now? That is, Eve witnessed the scene where the cultists attacked the people in the open space and seriously injured Michael. What’s more unfortunate is that she was also found, so she began to avoid the other party’s attention Hunt down."
"Just make excuses for her." Lisa muttered.
Sanders spread his hands: "No way, I owe her too much. Under certain circumstances, I will do my best to help her, as long as it does not violate the law and my own principles, I mean."
"Whether it's your guess or our suspicion, the premise is the same, that is to find Eve." Lisa said firmly, "But there are too many ways for her to leave, driving or public transportation are all possible, she even You can walk away in a direction where there is no one at will, and maybe no one will stop her. After all, she may only be regarded as a witness or an accomplice by the police rather than a suspect."
Sanders tapped his head with a headache, when he suddenly had a flash of inspiration: "That's right! We forgot one thing."
Looking at Lisa and Johanna's puzzled gazes, Sanders replied confidently: "There is a place that will never be discovered or blocked, and at the same time can reach the open sea at the fastest speed - driving a motorboat Follow the Brisbane River to the Gold Coast, through the port and into the open sea."
"Isn't that realistic?" Lisa exclaimed.
Sanders sighed: "No, quite realistic. Eve used to be a member of the sailing club. After graduation, she stayed at the school and became a staff member of the sailing club. Every semester, she drives a motorboat to the uninhabited island for the sailing club. Escort for the journey. Eve also escorts the motorboat during the sailing club training. Even the daily maintenance and refueling of the motorboat are Eve’s responsibility. She has an innate talent and interest in water sports. She is a member of the sailing club They have a good relationship with her."
"Then let's go to the place where the sailing club parks the motorboat!" Lisa said anxiously.
However, Sanders shook his head: "No hurry, let's go home first, and I'll drive. If Eve has already driven the motorboat down the Brisbane River, we will definitely not be able to catch up with her without transportation."
"That makes sense, I also want to get some self-defense weapons." Johanna calmly agreed, and at the same time glanced at Lisa, as if telling her not to be so impatient, "And we'd better contact the professor."
"Why contact the professor?" Even Sanders was a little puzzled this time.
Johanna explained unhurriedly: "Do you think you have time to call the police if the deep divers really appear? But now the police is not good for Eve, and Sanders must be unwilling, right? Then we can only contact the professor Tell him everything, and ask him to call the police immediately if we call him. And at least someone must know our whereabouts. If there is any accident, at least someone will collect the body."
"It's really not good." Lisa said as she followed Sanders and left Eve's house through the French windows, heading in the direction of her own house.
On the way, Sanders called the professor. Fortunately, it was almost two o'clock and the professor hadn't rested yet. After hearing Sanders' request, the professor readily agreed, and Sanders also handed over the professor's The number is set as an emergency contact.
"Let's go." Sanders sat in the driver's seat, and Lisa and Johanna climbed into the back seat hand in hand.After buckling up his seat belt, Sanders drove towards the school as fast as he could without speeding.
Entering the quiet school again, the few people felt a little uneasy. They didn't want to see Eve escape in the motorboat, but also wanted to have a settled result.
When the car drove to the bus station, several people hurriedly got off the car and walked along the lawn to the door of the small warehouse where the motorboat was parked.Before entering, the few people found fresh drag marks on the grass. Taking chances, they still opened the shutter door of the warehouse.
Among them, there is no trace of the motorboat, and even the spare oil drums have disappeared completely.
"I really ran away." Lisa covered her open mouth with her hand, and looked at Sanders worriedly.
Sanders only had peace on his face. After the three returned to the car, he drove onto the bridge, crossed the wide Brisbane River, and headed towards the Gold Coast along the direction of the river.
The distance from Brisbane to the Gold Coast is not far, but only two hours away (the author modified it, in fact, the Brisbane River is connected to the Port of Brisbane, and it takes only 30 minutes to drive there. Just want to make the distance a little bit farther).
In the quiet compartment, Sanders didn't even turn on the music. The car was speeding on the dark road, and the atmosphere was a little depressing.At this time, Sanders' cell phone rang, and he parked the car on the side of the road silently, and answered the phone.
"Eve, it's you, right? You're on the motorboat now?" Sanders cut to the chase and said his guess.
On the motorboat, Eve had a slightly surprised look on his face, and then smiled again: "You found out? I was trying to tow the motorboat just now, so I hung up your phone. If there is anything you want to know, we will Let's meet at the port."
After saying this, Eve hung up the phone, looked at the dark water, and threw the phone into the river.
Sanders started the car again with a gloomy face, this time no one called him again, time passed, the three of them arrived at the empty pier smoothly, and Eve, as expected, stood on the motorboat in the distance , as if waiting for the arrival of the three.
"Eve!" Sanders shouted to the people on the sea.
Several people saw Eve standing on the speedboat from a distance. She turned her back to everyone. After hearing Sanders' call, she slowly squatted back on the speedboat without any response.
Sanders looked complicated and shouted: "Eve, what exactly are you trying to tell me? I believe that you didn't kill those people, right? Then what did you see at the scene? Someone threatened you ?"
"Heh, haha...hahahahaha..." Eve's nervous laughter seemed to ring in everyone's ears, her originally soft and pleasant voice became hoarse, and her emotions seemed strangely excited, "Are you really here?" Thank you very much for your trust, yes, I did not kill those people.”
Sanders breathed a sigh of relief, but was even more puzzled. Eve's state was obviously not right now. He couldn't help but walked towards the port and continued to ask, "Then can you tell us what exactly happened? Aren't we friends?"
"Huh?" Eve suddenly sat on the side of the boat, her weight caused the small motorboat to tilt to one side, but she didn't seem to care, and gently stroked her face, "How could we be friends? ? No matter who you are, you will not become friends with the monster in your eyes, right?"
What monster?Lisa was a little confused: Does anyone think Eve is a monster?Although I do think that you are a cultist who sacrificed many people in order to hold some mysterious ceremony, or used some mysterious evil method to harm people, and I did want to lure you ashore and call the police, but I never think that you Not human.
Of course, Lisa just kept these thoughts in her heart and didn't say a word.
Sanders sighed, trying to turn the topic from the weird place back to the real thing. He didn't want to anger Eve, who was clearly in a mental state, but he didn't know how to appease the current Eve: "I don't believe you will kill people, I don't think you are a monster, and I don't think you have the ability to commit such serial murders. But only if I believe you are useless, and only if you come back to cooperate with the police's investigation can you clear your suspicion and we can help You, it is impossible for you to escape too far by going to sea alone like this."
As if moved by Sanders, Eve drove the motorboat a little closer to the shore, although in fact there was still a long distance, and she couldn't get close quickly by swimming alone.
Eve's voice gradually became flustered, and Sanders could even hear her eagerness to rely on: "Saunders, thank you for still believing in me! I really have nothing...no...I mean I really They didn’t kill those people, and they didn’t hold any cult rituals.”
"That day, I just saw a light flashing in front of me. I didn't know why and I chased after it. At that time, I felt that I must be bewitched by something. I just focused on the light in front of me. Michael followed me and I didn't know I found it. I followed the light until I walked to the clearing in the forest, where there were many people lying here and there, you must have seen that number! It can’t be me, can it?”
"When I got there, everyone had fallen to the ground! I didn't do it! When I got close to them, they didn't move, and many places on their bodies seemed to be cracked, like dried pottery figurines. I I don’t know if it’s my hallucination, but they still seem to be emitting a soft light.”
"I was really scared, my legs were weak when I stood in front of their dead bodies, and I couldn't move at all. Someone was talking behind me at this time, and he seemed to say that he would call the police. I was really scared. I didn't want to be regarded as a murderer. At once……"
"I don't remember what happened in that short period of time. When I woke up, that person was already lying in a pool of blood! I didn't mean to hurt him, and he must think I did it! I killed him Those people, so... so... I stabbed him again with a broken glass bottle that I found casually on the ground."
"I didn't do it on purpose, who made him think that I was a murderer! I must not be caught, I still have things to do, I still have to
