[Comprehensive Yingmei] Really nothing happened

After a long, long time, recalling his experience in this world, Yemengard thought that, in the words of the country on the Pacific Ocean that has inherited a civilization of 5000 years, he and this world... well, it may just be This country is in conflict, but it is also possible that her Mercury was retrograde during that time.

Ye Mengjiad doesn't care that the Old Ones will also encounter such a situation that can only be explained by metaphysics.The point is that even a guy like her who is slow to respond to human interaction feels that the specifics of their journey are enough to write a book.

It has been many days since the Beckwith family escaped (later Ye Mengjiad felt that something was wrong, went back and read the newspaper, only to find that the previous tenants had stayed and hadn't been cleaned up), and they were always haunted by ghosts along the way. The harassment can be described as miserable.At first, they just thought that as long as they were farther away from the house, they would be safer, but they almost had car accidents on the road several times, and they were quite tired from the journey, so they chose to find a place that was not easy to be found and prepare for a little while. take a break.

Jormungandr: ...What makes you think that this kind of place would be the best choice for deception? !

This kind of situation can be figured out without a lot of brains. The hotel that can safely do this kind of illegal activity must be in collusion with those local snakes.Also, since it's been around for so long (it takes time for hotels to become rundown), other less clean gangs in the surrounding area must have heard of it.So... those unlucky fellows with no information fled here, thinking they could breathe a sigh of relief, but they were just sending money to some people.

Of course, the situation of the Beckwith family is different from others, but there is always a reason.

……

Yemengard sat in the back seat, staring out the window in a daze.

When she came here, she didn't bring much, and a larger backpack could hold it all.

When the Beckwiths came out, they only wanted to stay as far away from the mansion as possible, so they drove quite fast.Now that they found a ray of light (Jermengaard: meow?), they felt relaxed and their driving speed slowed down.It might take a lot of time to go back.

The eldest daughter of the Beckwith family is the most sensitive to the presence of ghosts.On the way back, she clearly felt that eerie feeling no longer haunted them.So she was most enthusiastic about Jormungandr's arrival.

Yemengard: ? ? ?Do you have any questions?

She was thinking about how to round this up in the report if she found a way to go back.

She is not good at communicating, and she is not good at lying. The only one who can fool them is... Forget it, then I will say that the ghost was killed by the knife made of SCP-148.

She finally made such a decision.

……

The path they took when they returned to the mansion was not exactly the same as the path they took when they left.

Once bitten by a snake and afraid of well ropes for ten years, the Beckwith family still has lingering fears about the various dangerous incidents on the way to escape, so naturally they don't want to drive on that road again.

Unfortunately, this new road is not at all as peaceful as they imagined.

……

Driving on the highway is boring - as long as there are no dangerous sections.

It is said that in the United States, there is a section of road dug out of a cliff, and a short section of it is U-shaped. Due to light, optical illusions and other reasons, many vehicles crashed here.There is no such obvious danger on their journey this time, but those unknown crises are the most frightening.

After driving for a whole day, several people are also a little tired.They decided to rest for the night in a nearby town before continuing.

The town looks very cozy and peaceful.It is not a heavy industrial base, and the pace of people's life is not as tense as in big cities, so it is a good place to rest.

They finished their dinner peacefully in a small restaurant (Jörmungard: they paid for me).A full stomach can really relax the mind, so the two young children decided to walk around and stretch their bodies, while the two adults and the eldest daughter decided to book a few rooms at the hotel in town.

Ye Mengjia had to think about it, and decided that he should just hang out alone nearby.She doesn't know anything about booking a room, and going there will add to the confusion.Anyway, the family would never forget her on purpose, and she had no special request for it.

Moreover, she always felt that this place was not as peaceful as it appeared on the surface...

……

"Xenophobia" is a great "excellent" tradition of mankind.People always like to silently divide everyone into groups, and then choose one to join.While different people do this step in different ways, there are always one or two people who are always left out.

For young people, although the division method is simpler, the result is still the same.

Someone will always be isolated.

They'll hear, and probably not hear, other people's nasty words, but -- that loneliness alone is enough to completely destroy them.

……

This era is not very friendly to children.

The second industrial revolution is coming to an end, but people have long been accustomed to the continuous life.Although the bad habit of employing child labor is gone, the adults can't keep an eye on the young people's every move.

Therefore, it is difficult for those isolated children to get help from adults.

Even grown-ups may be among their hostile ones.

……

"Do you think they know 'the place'?"

"They are not from here, they are just passing by, how could they know?"

"Then shall we..."

"Okay. I don't think that place is as scary as the adults say."

……

Jeremy and Jennifer felt that, compared to the previous period, this place was simply paradise, and by the way, even the townspeople here seemed so friendly.

The nature of young people makes them forget those troubles very quickly, and mingle with a few young people here.

After running a few laps together, Buck—the boy who seemed to be the leader—proposed to take them on an "expedition" in a tunnel on the edge of the town.

It is said that the tunnel was originally dug to allow trains to pass through, but it was abandoned for unknown reasons.

Looking into the tunnel, all I could see was darkness.After walking a few steps inside, I couldn't even see my own hands.

It's a great place to explore.

Logically speaking, Jeremy and Jennifer, who have just experienced that kind of thing, should not agree.

However, there is always a superstitious self-confidence in the human brain, just like in war, people will hide in the crater because they firmly believe that the shell will never hit the same place twice.

Although we all know that the probability of shells hitting all places is the same, the logic is really convincing at first glance.

The two young people also followed them with the thought of "We can't possibly encounter that kind of thing twice in such a short period of time".
