[Comprehensive] Zombie Valley: Terror and Suspicion

The second day of Halloween was an unexpectedly sunny day. After a night of fright, the bright sun was my best reward.Pushing open the window, feeling the temperature of the sun gradually penetrating from the tip of the hair to the scalp, I felt an uncontrollable joy in my heart.The sky is blue and blue, caressed by the gentle wind, the sky and the earth are like a huge dust collector, cleaning all the gray and black, and the tired dust left on my body also dissipated in a deep inhalation and exhalation.

I'm so happy because we decided to leave.This is another pleasant message compared to sunny days.

When Hermione cast a memory-altering spell on him the night before when she was walking Ben back to the house, Ben forgot about Draco's lure him out, and uncharacteristically immediately agreed to accompany us to meet our mentally ill friend.Although he had felt slightly off, Hermione had clearly concocted some sort of reason for him to accept it for the time being.

Then, before leaving, we had our last breakfast.

Breakfast probably has matcha cake, garlic bread, bacon and coffee.It's hard to say how other flavors are, but I feel that my matcha cake tastes a bit heavy, even a bit bitter.I asked other people and they all said it was very sweet, but mine was still not very tasty.

However, we are going away, who will pay attention to these details?Besides, as a female ghost, it is not easy for Molila to grasp the basic tastes of ordinary people.

"You need to know that the ghosts in the basement of our school often make rotten cakes. It doesn't matter if they grow green hair, but they can still see maggots." Hermione said to me like this, I swallowed my saliva, and took a big bite of my matcha cake.

"Honestly, how did you convince Tate?" Mollilla asked softly as she poured me coffee.I said, "Draco talked him into it for reasons I don't know. I don't think he'll tell me either."

Mollilla looked at Draco who was talking to Violet in the yard, and said, "Well, this child, I can tell that he has a very different background."

I was taken aback, and said to Mo Lila, "What do you know?"

"Actually, a qualified maid can easily tell the difference between people. As a housekeeper, I have looked at people of any status and easily picked him out of you. For example, although his clothes Like you all, but he's fastidious about buttons, no matter how hot he is by the fire, he doesn't roll up his trousers, open his collar like you, or yawn like Miss Granger. He will always fasten his clothes meticulously, drink coffee lightly, and occasionally play poker in his hand to refresh himself."

indeed so.American fireplaces are uncomfortably hot.In order to "cool off the heat", Ares unbuttoned a lot.

"At the same time, he would set the knife and fork in a very ancient way, the tip of the knife never facing the person opposite. This is a very special salute in a certain era, and only people of a certain class will do this Do. Also, he never goes to the servants' rooms. I know you've been to the third floor."

Mo Lila whispered: "Each castle has its own rules, but the general rule is not to go to the servant's residence. So I haven't smelled him in my room."

It turned out to be the case.

"So, what does this explain? Why does Tate suddenly listen to Draco and give up being serious with us?"

"No, that just means that I am about to leave a real noble son and continue to take care of these so-called masters of humble background, which makes me feel very sad."

Mollilla wiped the glass with a bored face, looking so bored.I shrugged and just drank my coffee.After all, Mollilla is just a woman who loves to gossip, admires luxury goods, and occasionally fantasizes about imperial power.

"Oh, yes. Do you know what Draco knows about Tate's secret?"

Out of curiosity, I secretly asked Mo Lila, and Mo Lila was amused: "I know I will ask you?"

I was taken aback: "Oh, sorry, I forgot you were asking me just now."

But after the words fell, Molila turned to a charming smile and said, "In fact, I know, I just want to make sure that our understanding is in agreement."

"Then you want to tell me?"

"Of course not. Tate wouldn't have wanted me to."

Well, since this is the case, I can only endure it.This grandma-level aunt even teased me a little before she left.

***

To be honest, I really have a problem with my matcha cake.

After eating, I went to the toilet several times, until everyone moved their luggage and kept calling me, I was still squatting in the toilet.Mollilla kept smelling my cake pan and said doubtfully that it was fine, I can only say that I might have caught a cold at night.

Clutching my stomach, I got into the car, and Draco came up at this time, with Hermione and Ben sitting in the front.

No matter how we want to go to another world, for this human being, we still have to put on a show.We lied to him that we were going to the airport by car, so we had to drive for a while to make sense.

"Stomach pain?" Draco asked me with concern, I looked embarrassed, waved my hands and said: "I guess I was drinking my mouth last night."

Draco hurriedly rubbed it for me, and then said, "Just now, I said goodbye to Violet."

I smiled wryly: "Come on, you definitely won't tell me what you said. I know."

Draco glanced at me and said, "That's all you want to know?"

I immediately said: "Of course. Don't you know that I couldn't sleep thinking about the secret you told Tate last night? God, although Tate was successfully let go of us and Ben was taken away, but I Gotta swear some of your weird behavior is giving me a headache. I don't think I'll be able to sleep well again tonight."

My complaining made Draco breathe out, and he fell silent suddenly.

He crossed his hands and looked straight at his thumbs. His demure face was more handsome, but also full of more worries.It took him a long time to speak.

"Let me ask you, Ares, what is your biggest feeling for this family after staying for two days?"

"Feeling?" I was stunned: "Forget it, I have been thinking about how to protect you and Hermione, and how to guard against the ghosts in horror stories. How can I have time to feel life."

"Have you no opinion of their family relations?"

I was taken aback again: "I really didn't notice."

Draco shrugged.

After looking at Hermione and Ben in front of him for a while, he leaned into my ear and said, "I have to tell you, the man who flew at me on the third floor that day was Ben, and the so-called clown was fabricated by me." of."

I almost swallowed my tongue: "What?!"

And Draco continued: "And Ben fabricated the story that he saw me in the clown costume seducing him, and I didn't refute it. What's more-the clown Violet you saw was indeed her, only Hermione The Vivian I saw was a real clown."

I was stunned suddenly: "What?! Violet is me? But... how can she change clothes so fast? And why did she hit me?!"

Draco didn't answer my question directly,

Just said slowly:

"There are three people in this family. My mother is heartbroken because of her husband's cheating. All day long, she just digs her husband's privacy. Dad is a male animal who can't control his lower body. He promises his wife will not cheat again. , but in fact he has been keeping in touch with his mistress, and even now he has evil intentions against the wizard sitting in the back seat of the car."

"What?! How dare this bastard!" I immediately swelled my face into a ball, and Draco patted me, motioning me not to react so strongly, and said flatly: "You know, Ares, Violet It's been sixteen days since she went to school, that's a full half a month, but none of her parents noticed it."

I said: "Then? Could it be that this is the secret between you and Tate? Because you found out that Violet played truant, and Tate was afraid that you would tell us that he wanted to kill us?"

The corner of Draco's mouth twitched, he stared at me with a very speechless expression, gritted his teeth and said: "Ares, can you stop being such an idiot?"

I coughed, "Then why is Tate so hard on us?"

Draco said nothing.

He just turned around suddenly and looked at the gate of the villa in the distance through the rear glass of the car.Seeing his concentration, I also hurriedly looked at him. At this time, besides seeing Vivienne and Violet delivering the car, I was also surprised to find Tate standing beside Violet!

"How did he come?"

"No, he was just with Violet."

"No, I mean, I actually saw him in broad daylight!"

Draco laughed: "Congratulations on your improvement."

I was dumbfounded.For a long while, he just focused on the fact that Tate had come.

"What does he want?"

Draco said, "To study Tate, study Violet."

Hearing Draco's words, I looked at Violet again, and found another thing that shocked me.

I was shocked to find that there was no shadow under Violet's feet! !

I thought I was wrong, so I wiped my eyes several times and looked again, but I still couldn't see it.

"What's going on...? There's no shadow of Violet, does that mean?"

Draco sat back down, and then he started talking to me.

"Tate was very nervous on our first day here. Know why? Because one of us 'damn' wizards can see ghosts in broad daylight. So he just followed me around and berated me To seduce Violet. To drive me away."

I was surprised and said, "Is this because of that? Violet has no shadow?"

Draco nodded: "Yes, in fact, Violet is dead. And for a long time."

I was dumbfounded: "How is it possible... I think she is normal, and her parents didn't find out at all?"

"What did they find? They get angry every day about their own shitty things, and they don't know what their daughters are thinking. Just like my parents, they are busy every day with how to please the old man above, and they are about to go to the prom My dad cares more about the color of his buttons than me... If I am a ghost, no one will know about it.”

I was very upset, and Draco continued:

"That's why Violet is a poor man."

"She committed suicide?"

"Well, her parents quarreled all day long, she was abused at school, and the teacher's indifference deeply hurt her heart. Later, she locked herself up, swallowed a large amount of sleeping pills and committed suicide. Tate later told me privately—— While you were eating the cake, he said he actually wanted to save her, but it was too late. After she died, Tate was worried that she would be scared if she knew the truth, so he hid her body in the basement and pretended she wasn't dead It’s a pity that her father took his mistress to have sex in the basement so many times, but he never noticed that his daughter’s body was only a few meters away from him.”

"So Violet doesn't know she's dead yet?"

"Yes."

"So, Tate is also right with us in order not to let others know about it?"

Draco paused, and said: "It can be said that, but he mainly wanted to prevent Violet from knowing that she was dead. He tried his best to protect this lie. Therefore, Tate had many clones before, but In the end there were only three left."

"why?"

"In order for Violet to go out of the house and go shopping with her mother normally."

I opened my eyes wide: "This...?"

"Earthbound ghosts can't leave the place where they died. Only under the protection of the 'shield'. In short, Tate used his clone as a kind of umbrella, allowing Violet to live a normal life , every once in a while, his clones will run out of energy and disappear. That's how he lost so many clones. And, now, Tate has only his last body."

I was shocked, this is the truth of the matter!

"That's why he has so many ghosts to scare us... so you say Tate is going to die sooner or later."

"Yes."

"Then Violet will find out sooner or later?"

"certain."

"Can she be resurrected?"

"Of course not. No ghost can be resurrected. Look, look, parents' quarrel, indifference, ignorance, drove her to death. At the same time, those who seem to be happy, in fact, buried many sad secrets that you don't know. Of course The saddest thing is that even if you end your life, no one feels sorry for it, they think you are alive and well."

These words are very heavy, and I didn't know what to say for a while.

Looking back, the old castle has gone away from me, Tate and Violet have disappeared, and there is only an indifferent scenery, following my car like a ghost.Thinking of Violet's smile and Tate's persistent eyes, I was suddenly moved and sad.My heart felt empty for some reason.

"By the way, since you said that Violet is a ghost, then when you went to the old house, what did you say that there were three living people?"

Draco laughed when he heard that: "That's another secret. You said that a guy named Slender Man came to seduce you, right?"

"Ah."

"That's not a ghost, it's a living person. The so-called third person is actually him. He's one of Constance's lovers next door."

"what?!"

I was dumbfounded.

"But...that...but..."

I was incoherent for a long time and couldn't find anything to say.Draco sighed:

"So don't read so many horror novels. You won't be able to recognize real ghosts, but fake ghosts are everywhere."

I was dumbfounded.

Well, I have to say, this trip to the old house really gave me a lot of insight.

The car quickly drove out of the street, and the view was full of a seemingly bustling city, with men and women walking back and forth.And among them, there are occasional shadowless people among them, they carry bags and wait for the bus as usual, as if they never know that they are no longer in this world.I sighed endlessly, and always felt that it was not a taste to be so unspeakable.However, when I was full of worries, a pain in my stomach attracted my attention.

"By the way, Draco. Did you put medicine in my matcha cake?" I said to Draco dissatisfied: "That cake in question! Green, smelly, and bitter... ..."

Hearing my words, Draco quickly moved his head to the window, coughed and said, "Hey, I didn't expect the Muggle world to be so interesting. What's the name of the bicycle that the girl is pushing?"

I scratched my belly with my five claws, gritted my teeth and said, "Aha, sure enough, you did it!"
