[Comprehensive] Zombie Valley: Terror and Suspicion

【The story of the thin man, Part [-]】

In the dark night, when you are at home alone, do you feel like someone is always looking at you from some corner,

Especially when it feels like the view is coming from outside your window.

According to American urban legends, there is a scary monster called slenderman, who has been living around us all the time.This man is very slender, his limbs are as thin as a bamboo pole, and he has no facial features. He often wears a suit and tie, and he can change his body shape and stretch his arms at will.Reliable sources say that there are tentacled limbs behind it. It likes to hide itself in foggy streets or woods, and likes to entangle children.

It is said that people who are targeted by thin men have a common characteristic, that is, they have had painful experiences, and once they are targeted, they will have some symptoms, such as insomnia, suspicious, coughing blood and so on.Once targeted there is nowhere to run until he kills you.

"So, please remember to close the window when you sleep at night, otherwise you may see a man in a suit staring at you... It's scary, will this monster come to attack us too?"

As I was walking, I was holding a book and reading, and at the same time I asked Hermione who was walking in front.

"Is there really such a creature? What should I do if I am attacked?"

However, Hermione didn't answer my words right away, she just looked around in the hallway, measuring the range of the enchantment in the room.Seeing this, I repeated my question again, and she finally looked at me, but she seemed very helpless:

"Ares, I may discourage you by saying this. However, reading that so-called American urban legend all the time won't bring us any good solutions, it will only make you more afraid of reality. .”

I said, "But, that's what I was told in my dream. Horror stories unfold one after another. Hermione, if that's the case, what more reliable clues are there than local horror stories?"

"Ares, remember, it was just a dream. You dreamed that you went to the basement, but you didn't. You were terrified. And, even if it were true, your dream told you that horror stories would ensue , but did not tell you where the horror story is, why do you believe it is in this book? Maybe it tells British horror stories, New Zealand horror stories, Chinese horror stories..."

I closed the book and said with a smile, "It's great to tell Chinese horror stories. I used to read them all the time."

"That's not the point, Ares." Hermione stared at me and said word by word: "The point is, rather than that, I want you to help me measure the effective casting area of ​​this house. We have to use the limited Its power creates a barrier for the entire house to prevent the invasion of foreign evil spirits."

"Prevent the invasion of evil spirits?" I opened my hands, stood in the middle of the house and turned around, and said to Hermione: "Is there any place that is more thoroughly invaded by evil spirits than here? We should cast knot Do you want to prevent the ghosts from escaping?"

Hermione coughed: "Well, you always like to argue with me. Then let me explain, what I mean is to avoid more evil spirits

break in.We need to focus on getting Tate, you understand?He can't ask his cronies and friends to help. "

I nodded: "I see."

After thinking about it, I put down the horror story book in my hand and followed Hermione to measure the house.

"Hey Draco, what are they doing?"

"They want to clean your house for you."

"Oh, really? Then what happened last night? Why don't our family of three have any memory of last night?"

As I passed the restaurant, I saw Vivian talking to Draco.Draco said relaxedly: "Listen to me, ma'am, it's a good thing not to remember."

"Good thing?"

"If there is too much memory burden, it is easy to make a beautiful woman grow old." Draco had just finished speaking, and Vivienne hurriedly covered her face: "You said

That's right.Tell me about your mother's skin care. I just planted a yard of roses, so that Molila can make spring water rose mask mud according to the house you said. "

Draco wanted to say it when he heard it, but Violet on the side said: "Let's put that aside for now. Draco, I'm too early to grow old, I want to get back the memory of last night. Tell me last night we What happened at home."

Draco pursed his lips and smiled: "The truth is that I don't remember it myself. I fell asleep very early, too."

"Really?" Violet doubted, "What a coincidence?"

Draco coughed and didn't continue.At this moment, Doctor Ben came out of the bathroom in a hurry and sat at the dining table: "Are you in a meeting?"

"No, chatting with Draco. He's really a well-born and well-informed little gentleman."

"Hmm." Ben agreed vaguely, then picked up the bread on the table and ate while saying, "That's really interesting, Mr. Malfoy, but how long do you plan to stay? The fact is that we don't have the business of staying with family members of patients."

"I'm sorry, but we should be able to go tonight."

"Evening? Too soon!" Violet patted the table, looking displeased. "Dad, I still have something to say to Draco."

"Listen, Violet." Ben said earnestly, "Don't tap the table while you're eating, and don't cut in while adults are talking."

mouth. "

"The truth is I don't get a chance to speak unless I interrupt."

"Violet!"

"Okay, okay." Draco stopped the conversation between the two, and changed the subject: "I heard that today is Halloween. Hey, this festival is really interesting. Ghosts roam around, and children come to ask for candy. You didn't do it. Ready for the holidays?"

"It's already ready."

Violet said, dragging out a box to show Draco.But I saw that it was full of limb fruit candy, devil's small jack-o-lantern, vampire's dentures, bat cloak, white pull, bleeding mask and other horror props.Draco glanced at it and praised, "It's not bad. If I can, I really wish I could use that fake wizard's staff."

Violet excitedly took out the brown wooden stick that resembled Draco's wand and handed it to Draco.I think Draco was using his real wand as a cover, and the family didn't realize it.

Violet said with a special smile: "I hope you stay and spend Halloween with us."

After saying this, the doctor immediately looked at Violet, as if he wanted to object, and Violet immediately said stubbornly:

"Father, today is a holiday. There is no reason for people to rush home in a hurry. It's better to spend it together. Anyway, they also stayed for a day."

The daughter is so stubborn, so I had to look at my wife Vivienne, but Vivienne was obviously coaxed by Draco (for example, you must be beautiful when you are young), and hoped to hear him say more about his mother's secret recipes for skin care , so he spread his hands and said: "I don't care. Besides, today's festival is too gloomy. I'm a little scared to stay in such a big house with only four of us and Mollilla. It's good to have three more people to be more courageous."

Seeing that the women in the family voted unanimously, Ben closed his mouth.His eyes were fixed on Draco, and he turned away after a while and said, "That's it, you guys can stay for another day."

Draco smiled, "Thank you."

I observed everything outside the door, and I was in admiration for Draco's soaring communication skills.He took Vivian and Violet in just half a day, buying us time.And soon, Hermione completed the task of arranging the enchantment in the house.

***

In the afternoon, Ben was receiving patients in the living room on the first floor of his home. Draco accompanied Violet to her boudoir to listen to music and chat. Hermione checked whether there was any problem with the wizarding world in the house, and I helped Vivian hang the lanterns. And the opportunity to clean the house to get familiar with the first and second floors of the house.

Especially the office on the second floor. We met Tate here last time. I don’t know if we will have the chance to meet him again.

I pretended to be an opportunity to clean the windows, looked at the height between the second floor and the first floor, and imagined whether we could jump from the second floor in case of danger, but it seemed that this plan was not appropriate.Because the downstairs is a concrete floor.If there is no buffer magic or something, it is easy to have accidents.

Well, maybe it's more practical to think of something else.

Thinking about it, I continued to ponder the window sill.But after thinking about it for a long time, I suddenly lost interest in it, but leaned on the window and looked at the city.

Since the smog is connected to the smog, I can't take a long line of sight. At most, I can only look at the woods in the backyard, but this is enough.I started thinking, it's unbelievable how long I've been in this world.The other me, Li Meilin, has also disappeared for so long.I have endured it until now.Perhaps it was because of a rare moment of peace, my thoughts were flying, and I was even depressed, shrouded in gloom.Then for a full 3 minutes, I had the urge to jump off a building suddenly, until I suddenly saw something.

Yes, through the thick smog, I suddenly saw behind a row of dense trees in the backyard of the villa, as if a man was looking at me.This man was tall, wearing a black suit, black hat, black trousers and tie, his face was a bit blurred because he was too far away.Under the gloomy sky, he looked like a scarecrow in front of a tombstone with his head slightly lowered, lifeless.

Who is that? ?

I thought it was an illusion, wiped my eyes and continued to look, but found that this guy was still there.

Because it was daytime and I was very courageous, I decided to go directly to have a look, so I immediately went downstairs to the backyard.

Walking quickly, I came to the yard.Because it is autumn now, the trees are all withered, the vegetation is also defeated, and the whole backyard is quite desolate.If it weren't for the bare tree trunks, one can imagine the scene here.

When I got under two of the trees, I circled around, but I didn't see the man who was peeping at me.Just when I was about to give up and go back to the house, a white glove on the ground caught my attention.

Picking up the gloves, I looked over and over.I saw that it was dilapidated and dirty, nothing special, the only strange thing was that the grass and trees on the ground where the glove fell were very lush, and there were flowers that did not bloom in other places in the yard.Squatting down, I touched a handful of soil subconsciously, and when I crushed the ashes on my fingers, I smelled a strange rotten smell from the soil crumbs.

A bad premonition came to my heart, and I felt something ominous.

Thinking about the similarity between that man and the skinny man in the urban legend I watched this morning, I feel a chill in my heart.It's a tragedy. Could it be that this guy is here to join in the fun?

I heard that this thing will not let go if it is eyeing someone, and it must kill the other party, so there will be a wave of unrest and another wave...

While I was thinking nervously, a gust of wind blew by, making me shrink my neck.I immediately stood up and wanted to go back to the villa, but at this moment, it was too late to talk, and a hand grabbed me. I subconsciously pulled out a gun and pointed it at the other person's head, only to see a man in a black suit with The man in a black top hat, with an ordinary face and half of his face with burns said to me in horror, "Don't shoot, I'm not a bad person, I'm here to remind you."

Um?Isn't this the man I saw on the second floor just now? !

Feeling his body temperature, I know this man is alive.But although it is said to be a living person, it looks quite scary.Perhaps he had encountered a fire, half of his body was injured, his right hand was retracted, and the skin on the right side of his face was almost melted and wrinkled.A pair of blue eyes are deep and energetic, but because they are inlaid in this ugly face, they are rather ferocious.

"Greetings, sir. Don't be afraid, I'm a normal man. My name is Larry. I've come to get you out of this room."

The man was trembling when he spoke, and he kept tugging me, I was almost dragged to the ground by him.For this reason, I pulled out my arm as much as possible and said, "Why?"

The man glanced nervously at the house and said to me: "I used to live in this house and suffered many disasters. Now whenever I see someone, I have to tell them to leave. God, this is all out of Sympathy."

I see.But I can't remember which master he is, and we knew it was not safe here, so I said:

"Thank you, then. We'll take care of it ourselves."

"No, you haven't understood the danger dear sir. You can't wait until Halloween here. In the meantime, don't worry about the others, get out of here with me right now. You know, it's because you saw me that you were able to get out of this room." Villa. Otherwise, you will not be able to leave that gate by yourself."

I asked suspiciously, "What do you mean?"

The man in black said tremblingly: "Think about it, if you hadn't met me, you wouldn't be able to step through the door. Because when you want to leave the door, there will always be someone calling you, or something will stop you and make you unable to leave." Go away. Do you think it's a coincidence? It's ghosts. They won't let you go, they want your life. Fortunately, I am a very special existence. They think that the person I fancy has no right to die in the house , you were able to come here and talk to me. Take the opportunity to go with me now."

Needless to say, when the man in black mentioned this, I still felt a little creepy.

However, I still said: "Thank you. But my friends are inside, and we agreed to spend Halloween with this family. So I won't leave. Even if there are ghosts."

Hearing this, the man in black sighed, "A lot of people don't listen to my advice like this, and then they can't come out again."

"I know, but I want to stay here." I walked with my back to him, so said.

My words made the man in black choke.He nodded and said, "Okay, I wish you good luck. I hope you live until tomorrow."

After finishing speaking, his voice disappeared completely, and when I turned around again, I found that this guy was gone.

A cold wind blew through the empty yard, leaving only the white glove.

"Hey, is this guy really human?"

Staring at the glove, I feel a little confused.

But recalling the heat in his hands, I hesitated.

【Skinny Boy Story】

"'I heard that the thin man likes to pretend to be an ordinary human to trick people.'"

Sitting by the fire on the first floor, I held a book and read in a low voice:

"Of course, because there are more and more victims, he has to carefully choose the method of deception. In order not to be suspected of being a ghost, he will take the initiative to touch the opponent's hand. ——Of course, in order to pretend to have a body temperature, the hand was placed in the stove before. It has been baked in the oven for a long time. It is a pity that it is a nerveless animal. I don’t know how mature it is before it is suitable. It often burns its hands. In order to cover up the traces of burnt, he will wear gloves.

Before deceiving people, his opening words are often "this place is dangerous, hurry up and go with me", if you obey him and really go away, you will be taken to a farther and more remote place, and then disaster will strike up.He'll lift you up high when you're unsuspecting, and drive you so hard into a sharp tree trunk that you'll convulse in pain until you bleed to death.Then, it will take out your internal organs, put them in plastic bags, and place them neatly beside your corpse.After killing you, it will disappear for a few years, until the next target appears and repeats the story..."

Seeing this, I paused and turned another page.

"Then, if you are still alive after reading this, you should be glad that you are lucky, you didn't leave with the thin man. But please remember, next time, don't look out the window casually, and look at the man in the black suit, let alone Go to him foolishly, and he will put you in a pessimistic mood and lead you to a miserable end, or worse, death, for example..."

After reading all the stories, I slowly put down the book and stayed in a daze for a long time.

I don't know what I thought of, but to some extent I understood the sentence that danger is everywhere.

"What are you thinking, Ares? It's going to be night soon."

Suddenly, Hermione passed by me. I heard it, held up the book, and said to her: "Hermione, who said this book is useless? I decided to use it as my amulet."

Hermione looked at me suspiciously:

"what?"
