Chapter 630 On the Notice Board

Miles hesitated, as if considering whether to tell Nick.

Seeing this, Nick immediately added: "I completely trust you, otherwise I wouldn't have come with you. If you know something, it would be better to have one more person to help find a solution."

Miles thought for a moment and said, "Okay, you have a point. Actually, there are two parchments on the notice board. I didn't take the other one. There is only one sentence on it: You can leave only after completing the Harvest Festival."

Nick perked up and licked his lips, this was important news.

If this message is correct, then there is one very important thing in this information, which is the festival process.

In other words, the abnormal incident is likely to be a crucial manager in the town, or simply the entire town.

The abnormal event is based on the town’s harvest festival, which divides the celebration process into several different parts. All processes must be completed before leaving.

In every link, you may encounter rules for abnormal events, which makes it much more difficult and has a clear exploratory nature.

Just by instinct, Nick felt that the news should be correct.

The current "celebration parade" is obviously one of them. Fortunately, because of Miles' actions, he has now joined it and at least caught up.

Although he didn't know whether there would be any more "celebration parade" sessions after that, even if there was, he was now ahead of others who had not participated, which was an advantage.

The more initiative you gain, the greater your chances of escape.

As more people have escaped, the hunting rules for abnormal events become more vague and broad, and the possibility of the remaining survivors escaping becomes less.

Of course, all this is based on the assumption that there is nothing wrong with Miles and that the information she gives is correct.

While Nick was thinking, the rest of his team appeared beside them one after another, crossing the crowd and squeezing over.

Nick was a little surprised that all four of his teammates came together: "You guys are here too."

"Of course, Nick, we are in this together."

"I don't understand these strange things, but I know it's right to follow you."

Nick felt a heavy burden on his shoulders. The unreserved trust of his four teammates made Nick feel warm, but at the same time, he was afraid of letting them down.

The celebration parade was circling the town at a very fast speed. It was not marching around the town, but wandering around in a relatively strange route.

Miles also leisurely blended into the crowd, shouting excitedly.

Seeing that Miles had no intention of telling anyone else the information on the second parchment, Nick did not tell anyone else either. After all, he did not get the news, and the right to handle the news was not in his hands.

Nick and others found that as the parade went on, their digestion speed increased significantly. It was not long since they had dinner, but their stomachs began to growl again.

Fortunately, there were plenty of meats such as chicken legs and barbecue, as well as wine on the tables along the way.

Nick and the others didn't hesitate to eat.

No matter what happens, they must ensure they have sufficient physical strength.

……

On the other side, Theresa and others who stayed behind were not idle either.

To be precise, it was Teresa who was not idle.

After the celebration parade left, there was almost no one left in the square except for them, and there were many tables with meals and some leftover food on them.

"Theresa, maybe we should go check out the door," said a bearded man from Theresa's team. "Miles has gotten enough information there. Let's go check it out. Maybe there's more news."

Theresa looked at him with watery eyes: "Then are you willing to go?"

Theresa is not stupid. She can still vividly remember the scene in the afternoon when Miles took two steps and disappeared directly at the gate of the town.

Indeed, Miles is back now, but Theresa can't guarantee that if she goes out, she will be lucky enough to come back. And to put it another way, even if he comes back, it is still unclear whether it is her.

The bearded man said, "You are the captain. You just saw it. In Nick's team, Nick took on his responsibilities as the captain, rushed to the front line, and risked his life to rescue his teammates. Now, it's time for you to show your responsibility as a captain."

Another male also echoed: "Yes, Captain."

Theresa looked at the one who had always supported her among the four people. He was the one who spoke for her when she had an argument with Nick before. "Horn, do you think so too?"

Horn felt pressured when he saw that the four people's eyes were all focused on him. He knew that someone had to go to investigate, but if he spoke up at this moment, the focus might be on him. Then Theresa would ask him to go in her place, and the others would follow suit. Then he would have to take on this dangerous job.

It's true that he likes Theresa very much, but when it comes to his own life, he still likes himself more.

"Theresa, I think you can give it a try. After all, the other residents have already left with the celebration parade. There are no residents here, so the risk is much smaller."

The bearded man heard the answer he wanted and looked at Theresa: "4:1, Captain, now you should fulfill your responsibility."

Teresa cursed: "F***, you guys really make me feel sick."

Theresa now understood. Although she was nominally the captain of several people and seemed to be able to command their actions, it was because her previous idea of ​​hiding and protecting herself coincided with theirs. Now, once they encountered something risky, they would push her out to take the blame.

He is said to be the captain, but in fact he is a test subject.

But Theresa had no choice.

Four strong men blocked her escape route and "escorted" her to the entrance of the town.

Theresa gritted her teeth and walked out of the town, taking a big step outside.

In just a moment, she felt that something had changed around her, but when she looked carefully, everything seemed normal. But the good news was that from her perspective, she could see an old signboard on the wall at the entrance of the town.

But from this angle, I can't see what's written on it.

Theresa took another step, and there was a rustling sound in the night. She trembled with fear, her legs weakened and she sat on the ground, shouting in despair: "Get out, get out!"

Fortunately, the sound didn't last long and it quieted down.

Theresa couldn't get up and she found that her skirt was wet.

Fortunately, from this angle, she could already see the contents above.

There were many remnants of torn notices on it, but now it was empty, and most of it was smeared with black like ash, with the words "Welcome to the Harvest Festival, welcome to join the town" neatly written in white powder.

Below these words, there were various words scribbled in dried blood, seemingly by different people:

"Escape! We must leave before the blood feast begins!"

"You must participate in the ceremony before you can designate others as sacrifices!"

"I hate it so much. Why didn't I go into the room immediately after the bell rang..."

"Those children have secrets..."

The dense bloodstains surrounding the welcome words looked extremely strange.

Theresa's legs were weak and she couldn't stand up. She sat down to rest, trying to remember as much as possible the words on the sign in front of her. However, she found that in her extreme fear, her mind seemed to be filled with paste, and anything she stuffed into it was thrown out by her brain.

The brain just keeps repeating: Run, run, run!

Just then, Theresa felt something coming. She screamed and tried to hide, but failed. When she looked closely, she found it was a noose.

It turned out that those people couldn't wait any longer, but didn't want to take the risk of coming out. They were only two steps away, so they threw a lasso around Theresa's waist and pulled her back forcefully.

Teresa was pulled so hard that her knees were rubbed and her forehead was scratched. She touched it with her hand and the wet touch made her realize that she was bleeding.

The bearded man didn't care at all and just asked, "What did you see?"

Theresa said nothing.

Horn took a piece of cloth that he had found from somewhere and that looked relatively clean, tore it into strips, and used it to stop the bleeding on Theresa's forehead and knees, while at the same time untying the noose.

Only when she felt the pain on her forehead did Theresa come to her senses.

A trace of hatred flashed in his eyes: These guys in front of me, including Horn, are all bad guys. I just don’t want to tell you what you want me to see. I just tell you one and you will die...

But before that, I must use the information I got to establish my position as captain and prevent a situation like today from happening.

Theresa said, "If you want to know what is written, you can, as long as you listen to my orders from now on."

The bearded man agreed without hesitation: "No problem."

Seeing that this guy agreed so easily, Theresa knew what he was up to, so she said, "Well, since you listen to my orders now, I want you to go to the room over there, find the child, and see if there is anything abnormal about him..."

Theresa pointed to the side, inside the room, and watched their child intently through the window.

The bearded man said without hesitation: "Okay, but you have to tell me the results of your investigation first, and why you want me to find that child."

Theresa frowned: "I order you to go now."

The bearded man looked at the two people around him, then punched Theresa hard on the nose.

Theresa felt a pang of bitterness.

The bearded man said coldly, "In this environment, you still want to bargain. I don't know how you can be so stupid. Do you really think that those little tricks you played are useful? Only a fool like Horn would be charmed by you."

"I'm warning you. Tell me right now what's written on that sign over there."

"Don't even think about lying." A fierce light flashed in the bearded man's eyes, and he said coldly, "We will find someone to verify it. Once we find that it is inconsistent with what you said, believe me, you will feel like you are in heaven now."

The strong threat reminded Theresa of the content on the notice board. She suppressed her fear and said, "I was too scared. I don't remember the original content very clearly, but there were only three points. The first one was to participate in the celebration as much as possible, otherwise you would become a sacrifice."

Upon hearing this, the bearded man immediately thought of Miles, who joined the parade without hesitation, and Nick, who followed closely behind.

He cursed loudly: "F*ck, I knew Miles wasn't telling the truth. He was whispering to Nick, and there was something fishy about it."

However, the parade had already left, and they had missed the residents' invitation. It might not be too late to catch up now.

After the bearded man cursed for a few words, he asked again: "What is the second point?"

Theresa said: "The second point is that you must attend the blood feast."

"Blood feast?"

The bearded man repeated it, memorizing the word deeply in his mind.

Theresa was also very nervous at this moment because she gave a completely opposite wrong information. As long as the bearded man really asked someone to check and verify it, he would naturally know that she gave wrong information.

Theresa's heart was beating so violently that she could almost feel it beating like a drum in her chest. Fortunately, her uneasy expression was masked by her fear, and the bearded man didn't notice anything wrong.

"What's the third point?"

Theresa replied, "It's...it's a child. The sign said there would be clues on the child."

After hearing the answer, the bearded man muttered to himself and tapped his head from time to time. It was obvious that he wanted to remember these key pieces of information accurately, but it was a little difficult.

Theresa swallowed, knowing that her fate depended on this next moment.

If this guy in front of her found out that she was lying, he would most likely kill her. After the abnormal incident, most people had lost more than one life, including Theresa herself.

Perhaps it was because of Theresa's performance so far that the bearded man believed that under his pressure, she would not dare to lie.

So he glanced at the faces of the other three people, but did not ask any of them to verify the content of the sign at the door. Of course, it was even more impossible for him to go there by himself.

The bearded man said, "Okay, thank you for your cooperation, Captain. Now, please follow your previous idea and go into the resident's room to see if there is anything abnormal with the child?"

Theresa felt both hatred and pleasure in her heart at this moment.

What she hated was that she was the nominal captain of the team, but Bearded Man was the actual captain, forcing her to take risks and mocking her.

The pleasure is that he believed it, he believed the information he gave.

Of course, Theresa couldn't show it at the moment. She said with hatred and disbelief, "You lied to me! You actually lied to me! You said you would obey my orders from now on."

The bearded man laughed loudly. "You are so naive. I don't know how you managed to survive. Are you some old man's canary? Then we are really lucky."

Theresa's feelings of grievance and unwillingness were fully expressed at this moment, and the deliberately magnified emotional fluctuations completely concealed her psychological changes when she gave the wrong information.
